[PMID: 38983776 PMCID: PMC11233113 DOI: 10.1007/s40883-023-00309-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
Purpose Osteoarthritis (OA) is a global musculoskeletal disorder that affects primarily the knee and hip joints without any FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies. Animal models are essential research tools in developing therapies for OA; many animal studies have provided data for the initiation of human clinical trials. Despite this, there is still a need for strategies to recapitulate the human experience using animal models to better develop treatments and understand pathogenesis. Since our last review on animal models of osteoarthritis in 2016, there have been exciting updates in OA research and models. The main purpose of this review is to update the latest animal models and key features of studies in OA research. Method We used our existing classification method and screened articles in PubMed and bibliographic search for animal OA models between 2016 and 2023. Relevant and high-cited articles were chosen for inclusion in this narrative review. Results Recent studies were analyzed and classified. We also identified ex vivo models as an area of ongoing research. Each animal model offers its own benefit in the study of OA and there are a full range of outcome measures that can be assessed. Despite the vast number of models, each has its drawbacks that have limited translating approved therapies for human use. Conclusion Depending on the outcome measures and objective of the study, researchers should pick the best model for their work. There have been several exciting studies since 2016 that have taken advantage of regenerative engineering techniques to develop therapies and better understand OA. Lay Summary Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic debilitating disease without any cure that affects mostly the knee and hip joints and often results in surgical joint replacement. Cartilage protects the joint from mechanical forces and degrades with age or in response to injury. The many contributing causes of OA are still being investigated, and animals are used for preclinical research and to test potential new treatments. A single consensus OA animal model for preclinical studies is non-existent. In this article, we review the many animal models for OA and provide a much-needed update on studies and model development since 2016.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) has a very high incidence worldwide and has become a very common joint disease in the elderly. Currently, the treatment methods for OA include surgery, drug therapy, and exercise therapy. In recent years, the treatment of certain diseases by exercise has received increasing research and attention. Proper exercise can improve the physiological function of various organs of the body. At present, the treatment of OA is usually symptomatic. Limited methods are available for the treatment of OA according to its pathogenesis, and effective intervention has not been developed to slow down the progress of OA from the molecular level. Only by clarifying the mechanism of exercise treatment of OA and the influence of different exercise intensities on OA patients can we choose the appropriate exercise prescription to prevent and treat OA. This review mainly expounds the mechanism that exercise alleviates the pathological changes of OA by affecting the degradation of the ECM, apoptosis, inflammatory response, autophagy, and changes of ncRNA, and summarizes the effects of different exercise types on OA patients. Finally, it is found that different exercise types, exercise intensity, exercise time and exercise frequency have different effects on OA patients. At the same time, suitable exercise prescriptions are recommended for OA patients.

In Vitro Characterization of Canine Microfragmented Adipose Tissue Non-Enzymatically Extracted from the Thigh and Lumbar Regions. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11113231. [PMID: 34827964 PMCID: PMC8614580 DOI: 10.3390/ani11113231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Mesenchymal stem cells are located in bone marrow, adipose tissue, synovial membrane, and muscular tissue. They have an immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic effect. Tissue engineering considers the usage of mesenchymal stem cells as a possible option for regenerating tissues, with respect to bone and cartilage, due to their ability to differentiate into multiple cytotypes (including chondrocytes and osteoblasts). Herein, we characterize a non-invasive solution based on Rigenera® technology, a mechanical disaggregation method able to produce autologous adipose tissue-derived micrografts which are analogous to adipose-derived stem cells. Abstract Within the adult canine population, disabilities and symptoms including joint pain and functional impairment are commonly observed in articular cartilage lesions and present a challenging feat in the operating room. Clinical settings require less invasive and more minimally manipulated measures facilitated by innovative and advanced technology. Mesenchymal stem cells have recently been proposed and, furthermore, autologous adipose tissue administration via injection has emerged as a new albeit somewhat controversial therapeutic tool. The purpose of this study is to characterize canine autologous micro-fragmented adipose tissue (micrografts) by mechanical approach without substantial manipulations. Adipose tissue samples collected from six dogs were processed by a Rigenera device and by enzymatic digestion from two different body regions (lumbar and thigh region). Interestingly, the immunophenotypic analysis attested that cells from Rigenera® were highly positive for the mesenchymal stem cells markers CD73 and CD90, less positive for hematopoietic CD45 and CD34, and negative for MHC class II antibodies (which play a role in immune responses). Finally, the Rigenera® technology obtained micrografts with a 35% higher expression of the IL10 gene with relevant anti-inflammatory activities compared to the enzymatic digestion protocol. This evidence suggests a potential improved clinical outcome capable of modulating inflammation and immune responses.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful and disabling disease that affects millions of patients. Its etiology is largely unknown, but it is most likely multifactorial. OA pathogenesis involves the catabolism of the cartilage extracellular matrix and is supported by inflammatory and oxidative signaling pathways and marked epigenetic changes. To delay OA progression, a wide range of exercise programs and naturally derived compounds have been suggested. This literature review aims to analyze the main signaling pathways and the evidence about the synergistic effects of these two interventions to counter OA. The converging nutrigenomic and physiogenomic intervention could slow down and reduce the complex pathological features of OA. This review provides a comprehensive picture of a possible signaling approach for targeting OA molecular pathways, initiation, and progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the involvement of Angiotensin II (Ang II) in joint lesions associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Chondrocyte cultures were obtained from knee joints of neonatal rats and stimulated with Ang II/MIA/ACE inhibitors. In vivo, rats treated or not with the ACE inhibitor captopril, received daily injections of Ang II or sodium monoiodoacetate (MIA) in knee joints for evaluation of cartilage, bone, and synovial lesions. RESULTS Cultured chondrocytes expressed the mRNA for Ace, Agtr1, Agtr2, and Mas1. Stimulating cells with Ang II reduced chondrocyte viability and metabolism. Accordingly, in vivo Ang II injection into the knees of rats triggered hyperalgesia, joint edema, increased the number of leukocytes in the joint cavity, and induced cartilage lesions associated with OA alterations. In further experiments, Ang II synthesis was prevented with the ACE inhibitor Captopril in the context of MIA-induced OA. Ang II inhibition with captopril improved the OARSI score, induced chondroprotection, and reduced the leukocyte recruitment from synovium after MIA. Additionally, captopril prevented MIA-induced bone resorption, by decreasing the number of osteoclasts and increasing the expression of IL-10 in the bone. In vitro, inhibiting Ang II synthesis decreased MIA-induced chondrocyte death and increased Col2a1 transcription. CONCLUSION Ang II induces chondrocyte death and joint tissue damages associated with OA and its modulation can be a therapeutic strategy in osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Simple Summary The purpose of this study is to generate preliminary data on the inflammatory effects of an hour of hunting in dogs. Four basset hounds were set out to find a scent and freely adopted running or walking over wooded terrain for one hour. Blood samples were obtained before exercise and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 h after the end of the exercise for analysis of markers of inflammation (prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin 1β (IL-1β)), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)), and inflammation resolution (resolvin D1 (RvD1)). There was an increase in inflammation one hour after the exercise, shown by a significant increase in PGE2. Following the peak, PGE2 steadily declined at the same time as RvD1 increased, with RvD1 peaking at six hours. This pilot study provides evidence that dogs that undergo an hour of hunt exercise experience transient inflammation that peaks one hour after the end of exercise; inflammation resolution peaks six hours after the end of exercise. Future studies should seek to further understand the distinct and combined roles of PGE2 and RvD1 in dog adaptation to exercise stress. Abstract There is little information available to describe the inflammatory consequences of and recovery from moderate-intensity exercise bouts in hunting dogs. The purpose of the current study is to generate pilot data on the appearance and disappearance of biomarkers of inflammation and inflammation resolution following a typical one-hour exercise bout in basset hounds. Four hounds were set out to find a scent and freely adopted running or walking over wooded terrain for approximately one hour. Venous blood samples were obtained before the exercise and at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 h following cessation of exercise and were analyzed for biomarkers of inflammation (prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin 1β (IL-1β)) tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)), and inflammation resolution (resolvin D1 (RvD1)). There was an increase in inflammation one hour after the exercise, shown by a significant increase in PGE2. Following this peak, PGE2 steadily declined at the same time as RvD1 increased, with RvD1 peaking at six hours. This pilot study provides evidence that dogs that undergo an hour of hunt exercise experience transient inflammation that peaks one hour after the end of exercise; inflammation resolution peaks six hours after the end of exercise. Future studies should seek to further understand the distinct and combined roles of PGE2 and RvD1 in dog adaptation to exercise stress.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis denotes hyperplasia and intense inflammatory process. Treatment involves exercise protocols and use of resources such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to modulate the inflammatory process and maintain physical capacity. The objective was to investigate whether treatment with LLLT and exercise modulates the inflammatory process and peripheral functionality. Sample is composed of 128 male rats, separated into three groups, control, treated and untreated, in the acute and chronic period of the disease with 64 animals in each group, divided into 8 subgroups with n = 8. The animals were immunized with injection at the base of the tail and 7 days after intra-articular injection with complete Freund adjuvant (CFA) for lesion groups, and saline solution for the controls. Joint disability was evaluated by PET (paw elevation time) and joint edema and treated with LLLT and/or resisted stair climbing exercise. Normality Shapiro-Wilk test, ANOVA mixed for the functional analyses, and ANOVA one-way for the variables of cellular differentiation, with Bonferroni post hoc, p = 5% were used. For the evaluations of joint disability and nociception, there was a significant difference between the evaluations, the groups, and the interaction groups-evaluations. The treated groups showed recovery of functionality; it is still verified that laser therapy increased the nociceptive threshold of the chronic inflammatory period, and the exercise reflected in significant functional improvement and modulation of the inflammatory process both in the acute and chronic periods. LLLT, resistance exercise, or a combination of treatments had a positive effect on the modulation of the inflammatory process, reducing the migration of leukocytes, in addition to helping the return of peripheral functionality by reducing joint disability in a model of rheumatoid arthritis induced by CFA in rats.

Abstract
Background Knee osteoarthritis (kOA) is a common chronic disease that induces changes in redox status and inflammatory biomarkers, cell death, and motor impairment. Aerobic training can be a non-pharmacological alternative to prevent the progression of the disease. Objective To evaluate the effects of an 8 weeks moderate-intensity treadmill aerobic training program on redox status and inflammatory biomarkers and motor performance in kOA-like changes induced by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) in rats. Methods Twenty-seven rats were randomly divided into three groups: SHAM; induced kOA (OA); and induced kOA + aerobic training (OAE). Motor performance was evaluated by the number of falls on rotarod test, the total time of displacement and the number of failures on a 100 cm footbridge. Data for cytokines and histology were investigated locally, whereas plasma was used for redox status biomarkers. Results The OA group, compared to the SHAM group, increased 1.13 times the total time of displacement, 6.05 times the number of failures, 2.40 times the number of falls. There was also an increase in cytokine and in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (IL1β: 5.55-fold, TNF: 2.84-fold, IL10: 1.27-fold, IL6: 1.50-fold, TBARS: 1.14-fold), and a reduction of 6.83% in the total antioxidant capacity (FRAP), and of 35% in the number of chondrocytes. The aerobic training improved the motor performance in all joint function tests matching to SHAM scores. Also, it reduced inflammatory biomarkers and TBARS level at values close to those of the SHAM group, with no change in FRAP level. The number of falls was explained by IL1β and TNF (58%), and the number of failures and the total time of displacement were also explained by TNF (29 and 21%, respectively). Conclusion All findings indicate the efficacy of moderate-intensity aerobic training to regulate inflammatory biomarkers associated with improved motor performance in induced kOA-like changes, thus preventing the loss of chondrocytes.

Abstract
As latexin has been linked with chondrocyte hypertrophic differentiation it is possible that this protein may also be involved in the mineralization of cartilage in OA. Therefore, we correlated latexin expression with the mineralization marker, alkaline phosphatase and determined the mineral deposition in the articular cartilage by analyzing the Ca/P ratio and the collagen fibrils pattern, during the progression of post-traumatic OA in a rat model. OA was induced by medial meniscectomy and post-surgery exercise for 5, 10, 20 and 45 days. Protein expression in articular cartilage was evaluated by immunofluorescence, histochemistry and Western blot. Minerals and structure of collagen fibrils in the superficial zone of cartilage were analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) respectively. Protein expression analysis showed time-dependent up-regulation of latexin during OA progression. In the cartilage, latexin expression correlated with the expression and activity of alkaline phosphatase. EDX of the superficial zone of cartilage showed a Ca/P ratio closer to theoretical values for basic calcium phosphate minerals. The presence of minerals was also analyzed indirectly with AFM, as the collagen fibril pattern was less evident in the mineralized tissue. Latexin is expressed in articular cartilage from the early stages of post-traumatic OA; however, minerals were detected after latexin expression was up-regulated, indicating that its activity precedes and remains during the pathological mineralization of cartilage. Thus, our results contribute to the identification of molecules involved in the mineralization of articular chondrocytes.

Abstract
Excessive oxidative stress, which can amplify inflammatory responses, is involved in the pathologic progression of knee osteoarthritis. Diosmin is known to possess a variety of biological functions such as antiinflammatory and antioxidant activities. We therefore demonstrated the chondroprotective potentials of diosmin on human articular chondrocytes under oxidative stress. The cytotoxicity of diosmin (5, 10, 50, and 100 μM) to chondrocytes was first evaluated. Subsequently, the cells were treated with diosmin (5 and 10 μM) after hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) exposure. We found that the cytotoxicity of diosmin occurred in a dose-dependent manner (10, 50, and 100 μM), and low-dose diosmin (5 μM) slightly impaired cell viability. Diosmin supplementations (5 and 10 μM) did not show beneficial effects on mitochondrial activity, cytotoxicity, proliferation, and survival and the cell senescence was ameliorated in H2 O2 -exposed chondrocytes. On the other hand, diosmin down-regulated the mRNA levels of iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β, COL1A1, MMP-3, and MMP-9; up-regulated TIMP-1 and SOX9; and improved COL2A1 in chondrocytes under oxidative stresses. Furthermore, diosmin also regulated glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase of H2 O2 -exposed chondrocytes. In conclusion, diosmin displayed a remarkable antiinflammatory effect compared with the antioxidant capacity on human chondrocytes. Diosmin can maintain the homeostasis of extracellular matrix of articular cartilage.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) causes articular cartilage destruction, initiating pain and inflammation in the joints, resulting in joint disability. Medications are available to manage these symptoms; however, their effects on the disease progression are limited. Loss of proteoglycans (PGs) was reported to contribute articular cartilage destruction in OA. Therapeutics approaches were previously studied in the animal models of OA. In the present study, we investigated the oral efficacy of four dosages of PGs (25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg), isolated from the bramble shark cartilage, in an animal model of OA. Indomethacin was used as a bioequivalent formulation. Primarily, the mass spectrum analysis of the purified PGs obtained from bramble shark cartilage revealed the presence of two unique peptides including AGWLSDGSVR and LDGNPINLSK, that showed sequence similarity with aggrecan core-protein and epiphycan, respectively. The levels of C-reactive protein and uric acid in the OA rats were reduced when treated with PGs. Histopathology analysis displayed less cartilage erosion and neovascularization in OA rats treated with PGs. The X-ray imaging presented higher bone density with 200 mg/kg dosage of PG treatment in OA rats. The expressions of the inflammatory modulators including TNF-α, IL-1β, MMP13, NOS2, IL-10 and COX-2 were found to be moderated with PG treatment. In addition, PG treatment maintained the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including SOD and catalase in the joint tissues with a higher GSH content, in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, our preliminary findings report the anti-osteoarthritic properties of PGs and recommend to evaluate its efficacy and safety in randomized trials.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study is to compare the effects of exercise therapy with chondroitin sulfate (CS) therapy in an experimental model of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Twenty-one New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: normal group (N group, n = 3); OA control group (C group, n = 6); OA plus medication group (CS group, n = 6); and OA plus exercise group (E group, n = 6). Four weeks after modeling, the rabbits were subjected to exercise (artificial, 30 min/time, 4 times/week) or medicated with CS (2% CS, 0.3 ml/time, once/week) for 4 weeks. Histopathological changes in treated joints were examined after staining. X-ray and scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate the different therapies by examining the surfaces and joint spaces of the articular cartilage. RT-qPCR was used to assess chondrogenic gene expression including Col2, Col10, mmp-13, il-1β, adamats-5, and acan in the experimental groups. Results Histology showed both treatment groups resulted in cartilage that was in good condition, with increased numbers of chondrocytes, and the results of X-ray and scanning electron microscopy showed the therapeutic effect of exercise therapy is equivalent to CS therapy, surface articular cartilage was flat, and the of cartilage layer was thinning. All treated groups induced the expression of Col10 and Col2 and decreased expression of mmp-13, il-1β, and adamats-5 compared with the control groups. The expression of acan was upregulated in the E group and downregulated in the CS group. Furthermore, expression of Col10 was higher and il-1β was lower in the exercise group compared to that of the CS group. Conclusion These results indicate that exercise has a positive effect on OA compare with CS, and it also supplies reference for the movement mode to improve function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Today, not only the existence of an interrelation between obesity/adipositas and osteoarthritis (OA) but also the association of OA and diabetes mellitus (DM) are widely recognized. Nevertheless, shared influence factors facilitating OA development in DM patients still remain speculative up until now. To supplement the analysis of clinical data, appropriate in vitro models could help to identify shared pathogenetic pathways. Informative in vitro studies could later be complemented by in vivo data obtained from suitable animal models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Therefore, this detailed review of available literature was undertaken to discuss and compare the results of currently published in vitro studies focusing on the interrelation between OA, the metabolic syndrome and DM and to propose models to further study the molecular pathways. RESULTS The survey of literature presented here supports the hypothesis that the pathogenesis of OA in DM is based on imbalanced molecular pathways with a putative crucial role of antiinflammatory cytokines such as IL-10. CONCLUSION Future development of versatile micro-scaled in vitro models such as combining DM and OA on chip could allow the identification of common pathogenetic pathways and might help to develop novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common age-related degenerative joint disease, which is caused by the breakdown of joint cartilage and the underlying bone. Carboxymethyl (CM)-chitosan is a soluble derivative of chitosan that has similar physicochemical properties to the extracellular proteoglycans identified in hyaline cartilage. Previous studies have demonstrated that CM-chitosan serves a protective role in a rabbit OA model. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of CM-chitosan on NO production and inflammation through its upregulation of interleukin (IL)-10, and the activation of the janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)/suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) signaling pathway. In the present study primary rat chondrocytes were induced to inflammation with 2 µg/ml lipopolysaccharide. The cells were subsequently subjected to increasing concentrations of CM-chitosan (50, 100 and 200 µg/ml) and the relative mRNA and protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), IL-10, JAK1, STAT3 and SOCS3 were measured by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis respectively. The results revealed that CM-chitosan attenuated inflammation by significantly reducing iNOS expression and upregulating the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The expression of JAK1, STAT3 and SOCS3 were also significantly upregulated by CM-chitosan (all P<0.05). The protective role of CM-chitosan against NO production was due to its upregulation of IL-10 and its activation of the JAK/STAT/SOCS signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine whether anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 (IL-10) exerts chondroprotective effects in an in vitro model of a single mechanical injury of mature articular cartilage. METHOD Articular cartilage was harvested from the femoro-patellar groove of adult cows (Bos taurus) and cultured w/o bovine IL-10. After 24 h of equilibration explants were subjected to an axial unconfined compression (50% strain, velocity 2 mm/s, held for 10 s). After 96 h cell death was measured histomorphometrically (nuclear blebbing, NB) and the release of glycosaminoglycans (GAG, DMMB assay) and nitric oxide (NO, Griess-reagent) were analyzed. mRNA levels of matrix degrading enzymes and nitric oxide synthetase were measured by quantitative real time PCR. Differences between groups were calculated using a one-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni post hoc test. RESULTS Injurious compression significantly increased the number of cells with NB, release of GAG and nitric oxide and expression of MMP-3, -13, ADAMTS-4 and NOS2. Administration of IL-10 significantly reduced the injury related cell death and release of GAG and NO, respectively. Expression of MMP-3, -13, ADAMTS-4 and NOS2 were significantly reduced. CONCLUSION Joint injury is a complex process involving specific mechanical effects on cartilage as well as induction of an inflammatory environment. IL-10 prevented crucial mechanisms of chondrodegeneration induced by an injurious single compression. IL-10 might be a multipurpose drug candidate for the treatment of cartilage-related sports injuries or osteoarthritis (OA).

[PMID: 26944197 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2016.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2015] [Revised: 02/08/2016] [Accepted: 02/12/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE A number of promising compounds developed for osteoarthritic pain have failed to demonstrate clinical efficacy. To enhance preclinical translational research for osteoarthritis, a model of knee osteoarthritis pain was developed in Macaca fascicularis and the effects of two distinct pharmacological classes of drugs were tested on pain-related behavior. DESIGN Behavioral assessments were developed specifically for the macaque. Baseline knee pressure threshold and weight bearing were assessed prior to a unilateral medial meniscectomy (MMx). Fifteen days following MMx, macaques underwent a once daily exercise regimen for 36 days. Sixty-seven days following MMx, macaques were assigned to one of three treatment groups (n = 3/group), either non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac, NK1 receptor antagonist aprepitant or vehicle, and treated for 5 days. Animals were tested 3-4 h after p.o. dosing and testing was performed blinded. Treatment utilized a crossover design-each animal received all treatments-and a 9-day washout period was utilized between treatments. RESULTS Vehicle-treated macaques consistently demonstrated decreased ipsilateral pressure threshold ("hyperalgesia") and decreased weight bearing. While diclofenac increased weight bearing and pressure threshold, full attenuation of pain was not obtained. No significant improvement of either knee pressure or weight bearing was observed with aprepitant. CONCLUSIONS Unilateral MMx in the macaque evoked pain-related behaviors and knee joint pathology reminiscent of osteoarthritis. The behavioral endpoints were sensitive to NSAID treatment but not sensitive to NK1 receptor block, which parallel clinical findings. The current macaque osteoarthritis model could be used to test potential treatments for osteoarthritis pain.

Antinociceptive effect of clinical analgesics in a nonhuman primate model of knee osteoarthritis. Eur J Pharmacol 2016; 786:179-185. [PMID: 27266666 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2016.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2016] [Revised: 05/27/2016] [Accepted: 06/03/2016] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
A number of potential analgesic pharmacotherapies developed in preclinical osteoarthritis animal models have failed clinical trials. A possible basis for the lack of translation of preclinical findings to clinical efficacy is the use of a preclinical species that is distinct from that of humans. The current study tested clinical analgesics in a nonhuman primate model of knee osteoarthritis. Following a medial meniscectomy, the animals developed a robust ipsilateral reduction in knee pressure threshold (hyperalgesia) and an ipsilateral reduction in weight bearing (resting pain). The serotonin-noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor duloxetine and opioid morphine increased ipsilateral pressure threshold and weight bearing. By contrast, the anticonvulsant pregabalin did not affect either pressure hyperalgesia or resting pain. The current findings in the nonhuman primate model of osteoarthritis parallel clinical findings, in that duloxetine and opioids are used in the management of osteoarthritis pain whereas pregabalin is not. The current findings also suggest the possible differentiation of pharmacotherapeutics in a nonhuman primate model, of distinguishing potential clinically useful analgesics for the management of osteoarthritic pain from those that are not.

Abstract
Animal models have been used to understand the basic biology of osteoarthritis (OA) and have helped to identify new candidate biomarkers for the early diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Small animals cannot sufficiently mimic human diseases; therefore, large animal models are needed. Pigs have been used as models for human diseases because they are similar to humans in terms of their anatomy, physiology and genome. Hence, we analyzed articular cartilage and synovial membrane pathology in miniature Vietnamese pigs after a unilateral partial menisectomy and 20-day exercise regimen to determine if the pigs developed pathological characteristics similar to human OA. Histological and protein expression analysis of articular cartilage from menisectomized pigs revealed the following pathologic changes resembling OA: fibrillation, fissures, chondrocyte cluster formation, decrease in proteoglycan content and upregulation of the OA-associated proteins MMP-3, MMP-13, procaspase-3 and IL-1β. Moreover, histological analysis of synovial membrane revealed mild synovitis, characterized by hyperplasia, cell infiltration and neoangiogenesis. Pathological changes were not observed in the contralateral joints or the joints of sham-operated pigs. Further studies are required to validate such an OA model; however, our results can encourage the use of pigs to study early stages of OA physiopathology. Based on their similarities to humans, pigs may be useful for preclinical studies to identify new candidate biomarkers and novel treatments for OA.
