Abstract
Runt-related transcription factor (RUNX1) is a transcription factor closely involved in hematopoiesis. RUNX1 gene mutation plays an essential pathogenic role in the initiation and development of hematological tumors, especially in acute myeloid leukemia. Recent studies have shown that RUNX1 is also involved in the regulation of bone development and the pathological progression of bone-related diseases. RUNX1 promotes the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into chondrocytes and osteoblasts and modulates the maturation and extracellular matrix formation of chondrocytes. The expression of RUNX1 in mesenchymal stem cells, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts is of great significance for maintaining normal bone development and the mass and quality of bones. RUNX1 also inhibits the differentiation and bone resorptive activities of osteoclasts, which may be influenced by sexual dimorphism. In addition, RUNX1 deficiency contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis, delayed fracture healing, and osteoporosis, which was revealed by the RUNX1 conditional knockout modeling in mice. However, the roles of RUNX1 in regulating the hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes, the sexual dimorphism of activities of osteoclasts, as well as bone loss in diabetes mellitus, senescence, infection, chronic inflammation, etc, are still not fully understood. This review provides a systematic summary of the research progress concerning RUNX1 in the field of bone biology, offering new ideas for using RUNX1 as a potential target for bone related diseases, especially osteoarthritis, delayed fracture healing, and osteoporosis.

J Rheumatol 2024; 51:285-290. [PMID: 38101919 DOI: 10.3899/jrheum.2023-0743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether a knee flexion contracture (FC) was associated with localized tibial articular cartilage loss over a 1-year period using Osteoarthritis Initiative quantitative data. METHODS Five hundred seventy-eight participants from a previously established nested case-control study of people with radiographic knee OA with or without progression, based on radiographs and symptoms, had their knee range of extension measured at baseline and received magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline and 1 year. The tibial articular cartilage of the medial and lateral condyles was segmented into anterior, center, and posterior regions. We tested for associations between knee FC (defined as lack of extension to 0°), and localized changes in tibial articular cartilage thickness or percent of denuded bone (0 mm thickness) after 1 year relative to baseline using ANOVA, controlling for baseline MRI outcomes and clinical factors. RESULTS Knee FC was associated with denuded bone in the medial condyle center (β 0.44, 95% CI 0.02-0.86) and preserved cartilage thickness in the medial condyle posterior (β 0.01, 95% CI 0.002-0.03) regions. CONCLUSION Knee FC unloading the tibial center region and loading the posterior region was associated with localized articular cartilage loss centrally and preserved articular cartilage posteriorly. These findings are consistent with knee FC negatively affecting unloaded tibial articular cartilage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Synovial inflammation, which precedes other pathological changes in osteoarthritis (OA), is primarily initiated by activation and M1 polarization of macrophages. While macrophages play a pivotal role in the inflammatory process of OA, the mechanisms underlying their activation and polarization remain incompletely elucidated. This study aims to investigate the role of NOD2 as a reciprocal modulator of HMGB1/TLR4 signaling in macrophage activation and polarization during OA pathogenesis. DESIGN We examined NOD2 expression in the synovium and determined the impact of NOD2 on macrophage activation and polarization by knockdown and overexpression models in vitro. Paracrine effect of macrophages on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and chondrocytes was evaluated under conditions of NOD2 overexpression. Additionally, the in vivo effect of NOD2 was assessed using collagenase VII induced OA model in mice. RESULTS Expression of NOD2 was elevated in osteoarthritic synovium. In vitro experiments demonstrated that NOD2 serves as a negative regulator of HMGB1/TLR4 signaling pathway. Furthermore, NOD2 overexpression hampered the inflammatory paracrine effect of macrophages on FLS and chondrocytes. In vivo experiments revealed that NOD2 overexpression mitigated OA in mice. CONCLUSIONS Supported by convincing evidence on the inhibitory role of NOD2 in modulating the activation and M1 polarization of synovial macrophages, this study provided novel insights into the involvement of innate immunity in OA pathogenesis and highlighted NOD2 as a potential target for the prevention and treatment of OA.

Ther Adv Musculoskelet Dis 2023; 15:1759720X231158618. [PMID: 36937821 PMCID: PMC10017945 DOI: 10.1177/1759720x231158618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent condition worldwide associated with pain, progressive disability, reduced participation in social activities, and impaired quality of life. Despite its growing burden, the therapeutic options are still limited and almost exclusively addressed to symptoms' management, while no disease-modifying OA drugs able to prevent or retard disease progression are actually available. For these reasons, in the last decades, relevant efforts to find new potential therapeutic targets in OA have been made and a number of existing conventional and biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), including hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), methotrexate (MTX), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and IL-6 inhibitors, commonly used to treat inflammatory rheumatic diseases, have been repurposed for the treatment of OA and explored also in hand osteoarthritis (HOA). The current narrative review was aimed to provide a comprehensive and updated understanding of the possibilities and the criticisms related to the treatment of HOA with conventional and biological DMARDs. Unfortunately, therapy with conventional and biologic drugs in HOA has not achieved the expected success, despite a rationale for their use exists. Thus, our findings outline the urgent need to enhance the exploration of HOA basic molecular mechanisms to find new potential therapeutic targets, personalized for each patient, and appropriate for the different subsets of HOA and for the different phases of disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) displays features of systemic and local inflammation, suggesting that DMARDs used in rheumatoid arthritis could potentially also be effective in OA. However, studies of the effects of DMARDs in OA have yielded conflicting data, and have been insufficiently large to draw conclusions. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to estimate the effect of DMARDs - such as methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, TNF, and IL-1 inhibitors - on OA. METHODS We searched for relevant articles of randomized controlled trials published up to March 2022, using Pubmed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. Studies were reviewed in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The effects of DMARDs on OA outcomes (symptoms, quality of life, ESR) were expressed as the standardized mean difference. RESULTS We retrieved 29 references. Among these, 23 randomized controlled trials compared the effects of DMARDs versus placebo or other treatments on disease activity, including 1143 DMARD-treated OA patients and 1155 OA patients in the control group. We found statistically significant improvement of pain and stiffness with methotrexate, especially in knee OA. TNF inhibitors improved the swollen joint count in hand OA, and inflammation parameters, without change in pain, stiffness, or function. Hydroxychloroquine and IL-1 inhibitors were not effective. CONCLUSION Overall, the presently available data regarding the effects of DMARDs on OA symptoms intensity are disappointing. Only methotrexate might have an analgesic effect, especially in knee OA, which warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects more than 240 million people worldwide. In 2016, the Osteoarthritis Research Society International submitted a report to the United States Food and Drug Administration highlighting OA as a 'serious' disease, and appealed for the urgent development and review of new therapies to address a significant unmet need. Despite this, international guidelines for the treatment of OA have been largely unchanged for over a decade. There is now an updated understanding that OA is more than simply a non-inflammatory 'wear-and-tear' process involving articular cartilage. Based on this, potential emerging therapies are being developed that target novel inflammatory, pain, and regeneration pathways. Drugs targeting the latter are being lauded as 'Disease-Modifying Osteoarthritis Drugs' - a concept which has so far proved elusive in OA research. While this review does not recommend a change in current practice, it should prompt readers to rethink the OA treatment paradigm. The global pandemic has added another layer of consideration when managing patients with OA. At a time when there is more strain on hospital systems, there is a need to expand our pharmacological armamentarium in order to manage OA without elective surgery and hospital admission.
