GDF11 protects against mitochondrial-dysfunction-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation to attenuate osteoarthritis. J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00323-0. [PMID: 39103049 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.08.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent degenerative disease worldwide, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) is closely associated with its development. Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) has demonstrated anti-injury and anti-aging abilities in certain tissues; however, its regulatory role in OA remains unclear and requires further investigation. OBJECTIVES To identify whether GDF11 can attenuate osteoarthritis. To exploring the the potential mechanism of GDF11 in alleviating osteoarthritis. METHODS In this study, we cultured and stimulated mouse primary chondrocytes with or without TNF-α, analyzing the resulting damage phenotype through microarray analysis. Additionally, we employed GDF11 conditional knockout mice OA model to examine the relationship between GDF11 and OA. To investigate the target of GDF11's function, we utilized NLRP3 knockout mice and its inhibitor to verify the potential involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome. RESULTS Our in vitro experiments demonstrated that endogenous overexpression of GDF11 significantly inhibited TNF-α-induced cartilage matrix degradation and inflammatory expression in chondrocytes. Furthermore, loss of GDF11 led to NLRP3 inflammasome activation, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. In an in vivo surgically induced mouse model, intraarticular administration of recombinant human GDF11 alleviated OA pathogenesis, whereas GDF11 conditional knockout reversed this effect. Additionally, findings from the NLRP3-knockout DMM mouse model revealed that GDF11 exerted its protective effect by inhibiting NLRP3. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate the ability of GDF11 to suppress TNF-α-induced inflammation and cartilage degeneration by preventing mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation, suggesting its potential as a promising therapeutic drug for osteoarthritis.

Does Patellar Denervation with Electrocautery Benefits for Total Knee Arthroplasty without Patellar Resurfacing: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trails. Orthop Surg 2024; 16:1832-1848. [PMID: 38951735 PMCID: PMC11293931 DOI: 10.1111/os.14161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
To investigate the effects of patellar denervation (PD) and non-patellar denervation (NPD) after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without patellar resurfacing, this study conducted systematic electronic searches in November 2023 using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus, adhering to Cochrane Collaboration recommendations. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Additionally, a manual search was performed to identify potentially eligible studies from the reference lists of review articles. Two researchers independently conducted literature reviews, data extraction, and risk of bias assessments. The outcome analysis encompassed the incidence of anterior knee pain (AKP), visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), American Knee Society Score (KSS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), patellar score (PS), complications, and reoperations. Meta-analysis was executed using RevMan 5.3 software. To enhance the credibility of the study, TSA v0.9 software was utilized to perform power analysis on the overall efficacy of primary and secondary outcomes. Twelve studies involving 1745 patients (1587 knees) were included, with 852 undergoing PD and 893 undergoing NPD. Results indicated a superior reduction in AKP incidence in the PD group compared to the NPD group. Statistically significant differences were observed between PD and NPD in KSS, OKS, and PS. However, the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for each outcome fell below the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). No significant differences were found in VAS and ROM between PD and NPD. Additionally, PD was not associated with an increased incidence of complications or reoperations. Within 12 months and beyond, PD was proven to be a beneficial intervention in reducing AKP following TKA without patellar resurfacing, achieved without an increase in complications or reoperations. Regarding KSS, OKS, and PS, the minimal advantage achievable through PD may not be clinically significant.

Abstract
Alarmins are immune-activating factors released after cellular injury or death. By secreting alarmins, cells can interact with immune cells and induce a variety of inflammatory responses. The broad family of alarmins involves several members, such as high-mobility group box 1, S100 proteins, interleukin-33, and heat shock proteins, among others. Studies have found that the concentrations and expression profiles of alarmins are altered in immune-mediated diseases. Furthermore, they are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory conditions. The aim of this narrative review is to present the current evidence on the role of alarmins in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and psoriasis. We discuss their potential involvement in mechanisms underlying the progression of these diseases and whether they could become therapeutic targets. Moreover, we summarize the impact of pharmacological agents used in the treatment of these diseases on the expression of alarmins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there is poor evidence of the effect of hydrotherapy on patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The authors performed a meta-analysis from randomized controlled trials to determine the efficacy and safety of a hydrotherapy program on measures of pain and knee function in individuals living with knee OA. METHODS A literature review included PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Science Citation Index, ScienceDirect, and Ovid. Studies evaluating the efficacy of hydrotherapy for knee OA up to August 2023 were included. The research was reported based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines to ensure the reliability and verity of results. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata/SE version 15.0. RESULTS A total of six randomized controlled trials were included for data extraction and meta-analysis. The present study revealed that there were significant differences between the two groups regarding the pain intensity at 1 week (WMD=-0.429; 95% CI: -0.679 to -0.179; P =0.001), 4 week (WMD=-0.308; 95% CI: -0.587 to -0.030; P =0.030) and 8 week (WMD=-0.724; 95% CI: -1.099 to -0.348, P <0.001). Furthermore, hydrotherapy was associated with improved outcome of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis index at 1 week (WMD=-3.314; 95% CI: -6.484 to -0.145, P =0.040), 4 week (WMD= -3.630; 95% CI: -6.893 to -0.366, P =0.029) and 8 week (WMD=-3.775; 95% CI: -7.315 to -0.235; P =0.037). No serious adverse events were observed in all patients who received hydrotherapy. CONCLUSION Hydrotherapy is efficacious and safe for reducing pain and improving functional status in individuals with knee OA, without increasing the risk of adverse effects.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), one of the most common orthopedic disorders concerning the adult population worldwide, is a condition characterized by progressive destruction of the articular cartilage and the presence of an inflammatory process. The aim of our study was to assess whether nicotinamide riboside (NR), a popular anti-aging supplement, can reduce the rate of cartilage destruction and alleviate the inflammatory response compared to the commonly prescribed collagen supplement in a murine monoiodoacetate (MIA)-induced KOA model. Twenty Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: sham (S), MIA and NR, MIA and hydrolyzed collagen (HC), and MIA. At the end of the experiment, the right knees and blood samples were collected for histological assessment and biochemical evaluation of nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, total antioxidant capacity, reduced glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, myeloperoxidase, and tumoral necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). The study determined that the treatment with NR in a similar dose with HC decreased blood/serum levels of oxidative stress biomarkers and the histological lesions in almost the same manner. The present findings suggest that NR may exhibit chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in MIA-induced KOA in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quercetin, a natural flavonoid, has shown promise as a senolytic agent for various degenerative diseases. Recently, its protective effect against osteoarthritis (OA), a representative age-related disease of the musculoskeletal system, has attracted much attention. The aim of this study is to summarize and analyze the current literature on the effects of quercetin on OA cartilage in in vivo preclinical studies. METHODS The Medline (via/using PubMed), Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched up to March 10th, 2023. Risk of bias and the qualitative assessment including mechanisms of all eligible studies and a meta-analysis of cartilage histological scores among the applicable studies was performed. RESULTS A total of 12 in vivo animal studies were included in this systematic review. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed on six studies using the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scoring system, revealing that quercetin significantly improved OA cartilage OARSI scores (SMD, -6.30 [95% CI, -9.59 to -3.01]; P = 0.0002; heterogeneity: I2 = 86%). The remaining six studies all supported quercetin's protective effects against OA during disease and aging. CONCLUSIONS Quercetin has shown beneficial effects on cartilage during OA across animal species. Future double-blind randomized controlled clinical trials are needed to verify the efficacy of quercetin in the treatment of OA in humans.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative disease of the connective tissue of the human musculoskeletal system. Despite its widespread prevalence, there are many limitations in its diagnosis and treatment. OA diagnosis currently relies on the presence of clinical symptoms, sometimes accompanied by changes in joint X-rays or MRIs. Biomarkers help not only to diagnose early disease progression but also to understand the process of OA in many ways. In this article, we briefly summarize information on articular joints and joint tissues, the pathogenesis of OA and review the literature about biomarkers in the field of OA, specifically inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, proteins, miRNA, and metabolic biomarkers found in the blood, synovial fluid and in extracellular vesicles.

Abstract
Purpose Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic inflammatory disease highly associated with intra-articular hypertension, hypoxia and angiogenesis of synovial tissue. Our previous studies showed that acupotomy could treat KOA in a variety of ways, including reducing cartilage deterioration and enhancing biomechanical qualities. However, the mechanism of hypoxia and angiogenesis induced by acupotomy in KOA synovium remains unclear. This study looked for the benign intervention of acupotomy in synovial pathology. Methods The rabbits were divided into 3 groups, Normal group, KOA group, and KOA + Acupotomy (Apo) group, with 11 rabbits in each group. The KOA rabbit model was established by the modified Videman method with six weeks. The KOA + Apo group performed the intervention. The tendon insertion of vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, and anserine bursa were selected as treatment points in rabbits. Rabbits were treated once every 7 days for 3 weeks. We observed the intra-articular pressure and oxygen partial pressure (BOLD MRI). The synovial morphology was monitored by Hematoxylin-Eosin Staining (HE Staining). The expression of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was detected using Immunohistochemical (IHC), Western Blot and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results Acupotomy reduced intra-articular hypertension and improved the synovial oxygen situation, synovial inflammatory and angiogenesis. HIF-1α, VEGF, IL-1β and TNF-α expression were downregulated by acupotomy. Conclusion Acupotomy may reduce inflammation and angiogenesis in KOA rabbit by reducing abnormally elevated intra-articular pressure and improving synovial oxygen environment. The above may provide a new theoretical foundation for acupotomy treatment of KOA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is driven by chronic low-grade inflammation and subsequent cartilage degradation. OA is the most prevalent degenerative joint disease worldwide, and its treatment remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to explore the potential effects and mechanism underlying the anti-OA properties of ginkgolide C (GC). Protective effects of GC on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-treated rat chondrocytes were evaluated using ELISA, qPCR, western blot analysis, flow cytometry, ROS detection and immunofluorescence in vitro. Ameliorating effects of GC on cartilage degeneration in rats were evaluated through behavioral assays, microcomputed tomography, histopathological analysis, western blot analysis and ELISA in vivo. In vitro, GC treatment inhibited the release of pro-apoptotic factors induced by H2O2 and promoted the release of the anti-apoptotic proteins. In addition, GC decreased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP3 and MMP13), thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS4), and inflammatory mediators inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX-2), and SOX9 thereby inhibiting extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Mechanistically, GC exerts its anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects by upregulating the oxidative stress signaling Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and preventing p65 from binding to DNA. Similarly, In a rat model with post-traumatic OA (PTOA) induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT), GC inhibited joint pain, cartilage destruction, and abnormal bone remodeling of subchondral bone. GC inhibited H2O2-induced chondrocyte apoptosis through Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-κB axis, exerted anti-inflammatory effects, and inhibited cartilage degeneration in rat OA. Our findings advanced the concept that GC may contribute to cartilage metabolism through anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, and the identified GC is a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Damaged hyaline cartilage gradually decreases joint function and growing pain significantly reduces the quality of a patient’s life. The clinically approved procedure of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for treating knee cartilage lesions has several limits, including the absence of healthy articular cartilage tissues for cell isolation and difficulties related to the chondrocyte expansion in vitro. Today, various ACI modifications are being developed using autologous chondrocytes from alternative sources, such as the auricles, nose and ribs. Adult stem cells from different tissues are also of great interest due to their less traumatic material extraction and their innate abilities of active proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation. According to the different adult stem cell types and their origin, various strategies have been proposed for stem cell expansion and initiation of their chondrogenic differentiation. The current review presents the diversity in developing applied techniques based on autologous adult stem cell differentiation to hyaline cartilage tissue and targeted to articular cartilage damage therapy.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the progressing chronic joint associated with by many complex factors such as age, obesity, and trauma. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common type of OA. KOA is characterized by articular cartilage destruction and degeneration, synovial inflammation, and abnormal subchondral bone changes. To date, no practical clinical approach has been able to modify the pathological progression of KOA. Drug therapy is limited to pain control and may lead to serious side effects when taken for a long time. Therefore, searching for safer and more reliable treatments has become necessary. Interestingly, more and more research has focused on natural products, and monomeric compounds derived from natural products have received much attention as drug candidates for KOA treatment. Resveratrol (RES), a natural phenolic compound, has various pharmacological and biological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-apoptotic, and anti-decay. Recently, studies on the effects of RES on maintaining the normal homeostasis of chondrocytes in KOA have received increasing attention, which seems to be attributed to the multi-targeted effects of RES on chondrocyte function. This review summarizes preclinical trials, clinical trials, and emerging tissue engineering studies of RES for KOA and discusses the specific mechanisms by which RES alleviates KOA. A better understanding of the pharmacological role of RES in KOA could provide clinical implications for intervention in the development of KOA.

A Photochemical Crosslinking Approach to Enhance Resistance to Mechanical Wear and Biochemical Degradation of Articular Cartilage. Cartilage 2022; 13:19476035221093064.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate photochemical crosslinking using Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid (CASPc) and light with a wavelength of 670 nm as a potential therapy to strengthen articular cartilage and prevent tissue degradation. DESIGN Changes in viscoelastic properties with indentation were used to identify 2 crosslinking protocols for further testing. Crosslinked cartilage was subjected to an in vitro, accelerated wear test. The ability of the crosslinked tissue to resist biochemical degradation via collagenase was also measured. To better understand how photochemical crosslinking with CASPc varies through the depth of the tissue, the distribution of photo-initiator and penetration of light through the tissue depth was characterized. Finally, the effect of CASPc on chondrocyte viability and of co-treatment with an antioxidant was evaluated. RESULTS The equilibrium modulus was the most sensitive viscoelastic measure of crosslinking. Crosslinking decreased both mechanical wear and collagenase digestion compared with control cartilage. These beneficial effects were realized despite the fact that crosslinking appeared to be localized to a region near the articular surface. In addition, chondrocyte viability was maintained in crosslinked tissue treated with antioxidants. CONCLUSION These results suggest that photochemical crosslinking with CASPc and 670 nm light holds promise as a potential therapy to prevent cartilage degeneration by protecting cartilage from mechanical wear and biochemical degradation. Limitations were also evident, however, as an antioxidant treatment was necessary to maintain chondrocyte viability in crosslinked tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise combined with glucosamine (OTL) on the apoptosis of chondrocytes of rabbit knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by affecting the expression of TRPV5. METHODS After the KOA white rabbit model was established, aerobic training and OTL treatment were performed, then the model joints were evaluated by Mankin, HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of articular cartilage, TUNEL and immunohistochemistry were used to detect chondrocyte apoptosis. Knee chondrocytes were isolated and identified by Alcian Blue and type II collagen fiber staining. The cells were treated with iodoacetic acid (MIA) to simulate osteoarthritis in vitro, and then the effect of TRPV5 on apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, in addition, apoptosis-related proteins and TRPV5 were detected by western blotting and qRT-PCR. RESULTS Both aerobic exercise and OTL treatment could significantly reduce the Mankin score of KOA model, and could effectively inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis in the KOA model, and inhibit the expression of caspase 3 and caspase 9 in the KOA model. TRPV5 expression was significantly increased in the model, while both aerobic exercise and OTL could reverse its expression. The low-expression of TRPV5 significantly reversed the role of MIA in promoting apoptosis and apoptosis-related proteins of knee chondrocytes, while overexpressing TRPV5 promoted MIA-induced apoptosis and apoptosis-related proteins. CONCLUSION Aerobic exercise combined with glucosamine hydrochloride capsules inhibited the apoptosis of chondrocytes in rabbit KOA by affecting the expression of TRPV5.

Abstract
Kappa-opioid receptors (KOR) are widely expressed throughout the central nervous system, where they modulate a range of physiological processes depending on their location, including stress, mood, reward, pain, inflammation, and remyelination. However, clinical use of KOR agonists is limited by adverse effects such as dysphoria, aversion, and sedation. Within the drug-development field KOR agonists have been extensively investigated for the treatment of many centrally mediated nociceptive disorders including pruritis and pain. KOR agonists are potential alternatives to mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists for the treatment of pain due to their anti-nociceptive effects, lack of abuse potential, and reduced respiratory depressive effects, however, dysphoric side-effects have limited their widespread clinical use. Other diseases for which KOR agonists hold promising therapeutic potential include pruritis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, inflammatory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, cancer, and ischemia. This review highlights recent drug-development efforts targeting KOR, including the development of G-protein–biased ligands, mixed opioid agonists, and peripherally restricted ligands to reduce side-effects. We also highlight the current KOR agonists that are in preclinical development or undergoing clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intense sporting activity and certain types of work increase the risk of early osteoarthritis (OA). OA can be idiopathic or associated to certain predisposing factors: female sex, obesity, history of joint injury, and joint overuse. The role of gender among the active population as a predisposing factor for OA is not well clear. This study investigated whether the risk of OA changes with age in both sexes in physically active individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines 2020. PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, and Web of Science databases were accessed in April 2021. No time constrains were used for the search. All the published clinical studies reporting data about relationship between physical activity and OA were included. RESULTS Data from 7 articles were retrieved including 360,053 patients (271,903 males; 88,150 females). The mean age was 48.2±16.7 years. Males, under the age of 60 had a higher risk of developing OA. People undertaking intense physical activity, such as professional athletes or heavy workers, are more prone to develop early OA. CONCLUSION Physically active males demonstrated a higher risk of developing OA.

Abstract
For centuries, regular exercise has been acknowledged as a potent stimulus to promote, maintain, and restore healthy functioning of nearly every physiological system of the human body. With advancing understanding of the complexity of human physiology, continually evolving methodological possibilities, and an increasingly dire public health situation, the study of exercise as a preventative or therapeutic treatment has never been more interdisciplinary, or more impactful. During the early stages of the NIH Common Fund Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) Initiative, the field is well-positioned to build substantially upon the existing understanding of the mechanisms underlying benefits associated with exercise. Thus, we present a comprehensive body of the knowledge detailing the current literature basis surrounding the molecular adaptations to exercise in humans to provide a view of the state of the field at this critical juncture, as well as a resource for scientists bringing external expertise to the field of exercise physiology. In reviewing current literature related to molecular and cellular processes underlying exercise-induced benefits and adaptations, we also draw attention to existing knowledge gaps warranting continued research effort. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Genetic variations in a disintegrin and metalloprotease 12 (ADAM12) gene may contribute to develop Osteoarthritis (OA) that is characterized by cartilage matrix degradation and osteophytes formation. Therefore, the aim of present study was to analyze the association between the ADAM12 gene variants and knee OA predisposition. Tetra-primers ARMS-PCR was employed, to genotype the ADAM12 gene polymorphisms (rs1044122 and rs1871054) in 400 knee OA patients and equal number of age-matched controls. The association between ADAM12 gene variants and OA susceptibility was estimated using the Chi-square, logistic regression, haplotypes and linkage analyses. A significant association of rs1044122 (genotype: χ2 = 18.94; P < 0.001, allele: χ2 = 19.10; P < 0.001) and rs1871054 (genotype: χ2 = 10.04; P = 0.007, allele: χ2 = 10.57; P = 0.001) was observed with increased OA susceptibility. The variant genotype of rs1044122 increased OA risk more than twice [odds ratio (OR) 2.20; P = 0.001] and the risk was higher in females (OR 2.43; P = 0.001). The variant genotype of rs1871054 was perceived to almost double the risk in females (OR 1.97; P = 0.003). Moreover, a significant association of rs1044122 and rs1871054 under the additive genetic model (P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively) was observed. The targeted ADAM12 gene polymorphisms, showed significant association with knee OA susceptibility. Females harboring the polymorphisms might be at risk. Besides, the haplotype CC of rs1044122 and rs1871054 in the ADAM12 gene may double knee OA risk. These findings may help in determining the etiology of OA and recognizing the people at risk of developing knee OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint condition associated with inflammation and characterized by progressive degradation of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone loss in the early stages. Inflammation is closely associated with these two major pathophysiological changes in OA. Velutin, a flavonoid family member, reportedly exerts anti-inflammatory effects. However, the therapeutic effects of velutin in OA have not yet been characterized. In this study, we explore the effects of velutin in an OA mouse model. Histological staining and micro-CT revealed that velutin had a protective effect against cartilage degradation and subchondral bone loss in an OA mouse model generated by surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM). Additionally, velutin rescued IL-1β-induced inflammation in chondrocytes and inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorption in vitro. Mechanistically, the p38 signaling pathway was found to be implicated in the inhibitory effects of velutin. Our study reveals the dual protective effects of velutin against cartilage degradation and subchondral bone loss by inhibiting the p38 signaling pathway, thereby highlighting velutin as an alternative treatment for OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a proverbial inflammatory degenerative joint disease associated with the acceleration of the aging process and is characterized by chondrocyte injury and articular cartilage degradation. Dual-specificity phosphatase 14 (Dusp14), a common member of the DUSP family, has been implicated in multiple inflammatory diseases and bone loss. Nevertheless, the function of DUSP14 in OA remains unclear. In the present study, down-regulation of DUSP14 was corroborated in anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA rats and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-stimulated chondrocytes. Additionally, the gain of DUSP14 reversed IL-1β-induced inhibition of chondrocyte viability but attenuated cell apoptosis. Concomitantly, DUSP14 overexpression muted IL-1β-induced release of pro-inflammatory mediators NO and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), as well as pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-6 and TNF-α). Furthermore, up-regulation of DUSP14 overturned the effects of IL-1β on the inhibition of collagen II and aggrecan expression, and enhancement of A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs 5 (ADAMTS5) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs; MMP3 and MMP-13). Mechanistically, DUSP14 elevation increased the p-Adenosine 5ʹ-monophosphate-activated protein activated protein kinase(AMPK), inhibitor of NF-κB (IκB) expression and decreased p-p65 NF-κB expression, indicating that DUSP14 might restore the AMPK-IκB pathway to restrain NF-κB signaling under IL-1β exposure. Notably, blockage of AMPK signaling muted the protective efficacy of DUSP14 elevation against IL-1β-induced inflammatory injury and metabolism disturbance in chondrocytes. Interestingly, histological evaluation substantiated that DUSP14 injection alleviated cartilage degradation in OA rats. Together, DUSP14 may ameliorate OA progression by affecting chondrocyte injury, inflammatory response and cartilage metabolism homeostasis, implying a promising therapeutic strategy against OA.

Bone 2021; 151:116034. [PMID: 34107348 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.116034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 05/31/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to explore the mechanisms through which chondrocytes regulated endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis in osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS The expressions of related genes of OA were detected by Western blot and real-time quantitative PCR. Chondrocytes were co-cultured with endothelial cells, and migration as well as angiogenesis rates, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion of the cells were detected. The relationship between miRNA and TrkB were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis, RNA immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase assays. The effects of miRNA on the histopathology of the OA mice were determined. RESULTS The expressions of NGF, TrkA, TrkB, and ShcB were increased significantly in OA patients. IL-1β promoted the expressions of TrkA, TrkB, and ShcB in chondrocytes and inhibited the expressions of chondrogenic differentiation markers, but shTrkB partially reversed IL-1β-mediated chondrogenic differentiation. Overexpression of TrkB promoted cell migration, angiogenesis, and VEGF levels, while silencing ShcB reversed the regulation of TrkB. Moreover, chondrocytes miR-214-3p regulated endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis by targeting TrkB paracrine VEGF to activate PI3K/Akt pathway proteins. In addition, overexpressed miR-214-3p improved collagenase-induced cartilage and synovial damage in OA mice. CONCLUSION The activation of TrkB/ShcB signaling pathway paracrine VEGF is mediated by miR-214-3p in chondrocytes and it regulates endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis in the development of OA.

Quercetin Alleviates Osteoarthritis Progression in Rats by Suppressing Inflammation and Apoptosis via Inhibition of IRAK1/NLRP3 Signaling. J Inflamm Res 2021; 14:3393-3403.

Abstract
Introduction Quercetin was recently reported to help protect against osteoarthritis (OA) progression, but the molecular mechanism for that protective affect remains unclear. Methods Here, OA model rats were intraperitoneally injected with quercetin, and the severity of cartilage damage in the rats was evaluated by H&E, Safranin O, and Toluidine blue, as well as by using the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) Scoring System. Additionally, rat chondrocytes were treated with quercetin and then stimulated with IL-1β. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α) were detected by ELISA.Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry and Hoechst staining. ROS levels were measured using a DCFH-DA probe. Protein expression was evaluated by Western blotting, immunohistochemical staining, and immunofluorescence. Results Our data showed that quercetin attenuated the degeneration and erosion of articular cartilage, suppressed inflammation and apoptosis, and downregulated the levels of IRAK1, NLRP3, and caspase-3 expression. In vitro data showed that overexpression of NLRP3 could reverse the suppressive effect of quercetin on IL-1β-induced rat chondrocyte injuries. Importantly, rescue experiments confirmed that quercetin inhibited IL-1β-induced rat chondrocyte injuries in vitro by suppressing the IRAK1/NLRP3 signaling pathway. Conclusion Our study indicated that quercetin inhibits IL-1β-induced inflammation and cartilage degradation by suppressing the IRAK1/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Osteoarthritis (OA) is an orthopedic inflammatory disease which can cause functional disability and chronic pain. MiRNAs are known to play important roles in OA. To identify the targets for the treatment of OA, bioinformatics analysis was performed to explore differentially expressed miRNAs between OA and normal samples. METHODS Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to identify differentially expressed miRNAs. To mimic OA in vitro, primary chondrocytes were stimulated with IL-1β. Meanwhile, flow cytometry was performed to detect the cell apoptosis and cycle distribution. In addition, protein and mRNA expressions were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR, respectively. Finally, in vivo model of OA was constructed to investigate the function of miR-892b in OA. RESULTS The data indicated that miR-892b was identified to be upregulated in OA samples. Additionally, miR-892b antagomir markedly reversed IL-1β-induced growth decline of chondrocytes via inhibiting the apoptosis. IL-1β notably elevated the expressions of MMP1 and MMP13 and downregulated the level of Aggrecan in chondrocytes, while miR-892b antagomir reversed these phenomena. Meanwhile, cyclin D1 and cyclin D2 were the direct targets of miR-892b. In addition, IL-1β-induced G1 phase arrest in chondrocytes was partially abolished by of miR-892b antagomir. In vivo study indicated miR-892b antagomir could significantly alleviate the symptom of OA in a rat model. CONCLUSION MiR-892b antagomir inhibits the progression of OA via targeting Cyclin D1 and Cyclin D2. Thus, our finding might supply a novel target for OA treatment.

Abstract
Puerarin is an isoflavone isolated from the medicinal plant Pueraria lobata. The purpose of this study was to study the antiinflammatory and antimatrix-degrading effects of puerarin in a rat osteoarthritis (OA) model and its protective effects on joints. The rat OA model was established by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) surgery. Rats (n = 40) were divided into nontreated OA, OA + celecoxib (2.86 mg/kg), OA + puerarin (50 and 100 mg/kg), and control groups. Two weeks after surgical induction, puerarin was administered by gavage daily for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, macroscopic observation and histopathological images showed that cartilage damage was reduced after puerarin and celecoxib treatment, the intensity of Safranin O staining was high, and the OARSI scores were significantly reduced compared to the OA group. Puerarin reduced the expression of MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-5, and COX-2 in the cartilage tissue of ACLT rats, inhibited the production of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α inflammatory factors, increased Type II collagen content, and altered the expression of serum OA cartilage degradation/bone turnover biomarkers (CTX-I, CTX-II, COMP, and PIINP). Based on these findings, we speculate that puerarin supplement to attain recovery from OA damage.

Abstract
Numerous studies have reported the critical roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation of osteoarthritis (OA) development. The present study aimed to assess the function and regulatory mechanism of a lncRNA, KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1), in OA in vitro. C28/I2 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to generate an in vitro OA model. The relative expression levels of KCNQ1OT1, microRNA (miR)-211-5p and transcription factor 4 (TCF4) were determined via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The associations between KCNQ1OT1, miR-211-5p and TCF4 were confirmed using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Furthermore, cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay. Inflammatory cytokine levels were measured using ELISA. The protein expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-3/13, collagen II/X and TCF4 were detected by western blotting. KCNQ1OT1 and TCF4 were highly expressed in the cartilage tissues of patients with OA and C28/I2 cells treated with LPS (OA cells), whereas miR-211-5p was downregulated concomitantly in OA tissues and cells. Knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 stimulated cell viability, and suppressed the inflammation and degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in OA cells. In addition, overexpression of miR-211-5p stimulated cell viability, and inhibited inflammation and degradation of the ECM in OA cells. Notably, miR-211-5p was revealed to be the target of, and was negatively regulated by, KCNQ1OT1. TCF4 was targeted and negatively modulated by miR-211-5p. Transfection of cells with the miR-211-5p inhibitor or pcDNA-TCF4 reversed the suppressive effects of short hairpin RNA (sh)-KCNQ1OT1 on inflammation and ECM degradation, as well as the promotive effect of sh-KCNQ1OT1 on viability in OA in vitro. Therefore, KCNQ1OT1 may regulate the miR-211-5p/TCF4 axis to ameliorate OA in vitro.

Oroxylin A attenuates IL-1β-induced inflammatory reaction via inhibiting the activation of the ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways in osteoarthritis chondrocytes. Exp Ther Med 2021; 21:388. [PMID: 33680110 PMCID: PMC7918508 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2021.9819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by degradation of the articular cartilage, synovium inflammation, subchondral bone sclerosis and osteophyte formation. OA is the most common degenerative joint disorder among the elderly population. In particular, currently available therapeutic strategies, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may cause severe side-effects. Therefore, novel candidate targets for OA therapy are urgently needed. Oroxylin A (OrA) is a natural mono-flavonoid that can be extracted from Scutellariae radix. The present study aimed to investigate the potential effects of OrA on interleukin (IL)-1β-induced chondrocytes inflammatory reactions. The current study performed quantitative PCR, western blotting and cell immunofluorescence to evaluate the effect of Oroxylin A in chondrocyte inflammation. The results demonstrated that OrA significantly attenuated the upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase 2 by IL-1β at both protein and mRNA levels. IL-1β-stimulated upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-13 expression, in addition to disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-4 and ADAMTS-5 expression, were all inhibited by OrA. Treatment with OrA significantly reversed the degradation of type II collagen and aggrecan by IL-1β. Mechanistically, OrA suppressed the IL-1β induced activation of ERK1/2 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. In conclusion, these findings suggest that OrA can serve as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
The present work aimed to assess the chondroprotective influence of chitosan and lecithin in a monoiodoacetate (MIA)-induced experimental osteoarthritis (OA) model. Forty male rats weighing 180–200 g were randomly distributed among the following five experimental groups (eight per group): control, MIA-induced OA, MIA-induced OA + chitosan, MIA-induced OA + lecithin, and MIA-induced OA + chitosan + lecithin. The levels of TNF-α, IL6, RF, ROS, and CRP, as well as mitochondrial markers such as mitochondrial swelling, cytochrome C oxidase (complex IV), MMP, and serum oxidative/antioxidant status (MDA level) (MPO and XO activities) were elevated in MIA-induced OA. Also, SDH (complex II) activity in addition to the levels of ATP, glutathione (GSH), and thiol was markedly diminished in the MIA-induced OA group compared to in control rats. These findings show that mitochondrial function is associated with OA pathophysiology and suggest that chitosan and lecithin could be promising potential ameliorative agents in OA animal models. Lecithin was more effective than chitosan in ameliorating all of the abovementioned parameters.

Abstract
The bone marrow (BM) vascular niche microenvironments harbor stem and progenitor cells of various lineages. Bone angiogenesis is distinct and involves tissue-specific signals. The nurturing vascular niches in the BM are complex and heterogenous consisting of distinct vascular and perivascular cell types that provide crucial signals for the maintenance of stem and progenitor cells. Growing evidence suggests that the BM niche is highly sensitive to stress. Aging, inflammation and other stress factors induce changes in BM niche cells and their crosstalk with tissue cells leading to perturbed hematopoiesis, bone angiogenesis and bone formation. Defining vascular niche remodeling under stress conditions will improve our understanding of the BM vascular niche and its role in homeostasis and disease. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the current understanding of the BM vascular niches for hematopoietic stem cells and their malfunction during aging, bone loss diseases, arthritis and metastasis.

Abstract
Aging is a major risk factor of osteoarthritis, which is characterized by the degeneration of articular cartilage. CCN3, a member of the CCN family, is expressed in cartilage and has various physiological functions during chondrocyte development, differentiation, and regeneration. Here, we examine the role of CCN3 in cartilage maintenance. During aging, the expression of Ccn3 mRNA in mouse primary chondrocytes from knee cartilage increased and showed a positive correlation with p21 and p53 mRNA. Increased accumulation of CCN3 protein was confirmed. To analyze the effects of CCN3 in vitro, either primary cultured human articular chondrocytes or rat chondrosarcoma cell line (RCS) were used. Artificial senescence induced by H2O2 caused a dose-dependent increase in Ccn3 gene and CCN3 protein expression, along with enhanced expression of p21 and p53 mRNA and proteins, as well as SA-β gal activity. Overexpression of CCN3 also enhanced p21 promoter activity via p53. Accordingly, the addition of recombinant CCN3 protein to the culture increased the expression of p21 and p53 mRNAs. We have produced cartilage-specific CCN3-overexpressing transgenic mice, and found degradative changes in knee joints within two months. Inflammatory gene expression was found even in the rib chondrocytes of three-month-old transgenic mice. Similar results were observed in human knee articular chondrocytes from patients at both mRNA and protein levels. These results indicate that CCN3 is a new senescence marker of chondrocytes, and the overexpression of CCN3 in cartilage may in part promote chondrocyte senescence, leading to the degeneration of articular cartilage through the induction of p53 and p21.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition associated with severe inflammation, cartilage destruction and degeneration of joints. Rhein (Rh) is an effective anti-inflammatory drug with proven efficacy in in-vitro and in-vivo models. pH sensitive Rh and NH4HCO3 laden poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) (Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4) are developed for an effective treatment of OA. The Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 are prepared along with Rh-PLGA-NPs as a control by double emulsion method. Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 was characterized for their size, shape, morphology and encapsulation efficiency (EE). The effect of pH on release of Rh from Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 was studied at different pH. Further, the cytotoxicity effect of Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 on THP-1 cells were evaluated. Anti-inflammatory efficacy was evaluated on LPS stimulated THP-1 cells and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines was evaluated and compared with control. The size of Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 and Rh-PLGA-NPs was found to be 190.7 ± 1.2 nm and 134.6 ± 2.4 nm respectively with poly dispersity (PDI) 0.14 and 0.15. The zeta potential of Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 was found to be -22 ± 1.12 mV. Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 were uniform, smooth and spherical shape as confirmed using electron microscopy analysis. Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 release the Rh more effectively in the low pH of synovial fluid environment (SFE). Rh-PLGA-NPs@NH4 also significantly affect inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β and reduced their release in LPS stimulated THP-1 cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), a mediator responsible for the cartilage collapse was also found to be reduced. Results proposes that Rh-PLGA-NPs could provide therapeutic solution to those patients who suffer from chronic joint ailments by reducing the progression of OA.

Abstract
To assess the chondroprotective effect and influence of
N,N′-bis(1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3-oxopyrazol-4-yl)
sebacamide (dpdo) that was synthesized through the reaction of phenazone with
sebacoyl chloride and screened for its biological activity especially as
anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory agent in a monoiodoacetate (MA)-induced
experimental osteoarthritis (OA) model. Thirty male albino rats weighing
“190–200 g” were divided randomly into three groups (10 each): control,
MA-induced OA, and MA-induced OA + dpdo. In MA-induced OA rat, the tumor
necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 6, C-reactive protein, rheumatoid factors,
reactive oxygen species, as well as all the mitochondrial markers such as
mitochondria membrane potential, swelling mitochondria, cytochrome
c oxidase (complex IV), and serum oxidative/antioxidant
status (malondialdehyde level and activities of myeloperoxidase and xanthine
oxidase) are elevated. Also, the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (complex
II), levels of ATP, the level of glutathione (GSH), and thiol were markedly
diminished in the MA-induced OA group compared to the normal control rats. These
findings showed that mitochondrial function is associated with OA
pathophysiological alterations and high gene expressions of (IL-6, TNF-a, and
IL-1b) and suggests a promising use of dpdo as potential ameliorative agents in
the animal model of OA and could act as anti-inflammatory agent in case of
severe infection with COVID-19. It is clearly appeared in improving the bone
cortex and bone marrow in the treated group with the novel compound in
histological and transmission electron microscopic sections which is a very
important issue today in fighting severe infections that have significant
effects on the blood indices and declining of blood corpuscles like COVID-19, in
addition to declining the genotoxicity and inflammation induced by MA in male
rats. The novel synthesized compound was highly effective in improving all the
above mentioned parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of patellar denervation with electrocautery for reducing pain and improving clinical outcomes after total knee replacement. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted across relevant databases, including PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases on February 2020. Two researchers independently completed the literature screening, data extraction, and risk evaluation of bias. Outcome measures included visual analogue scale, opioid consumption, range of motion, patellar score, American Knee Society score, Oxford knee score and postoperative complications. STATA 13.0 software was applied for meta-analysis. RESULT A total of nine studies involving 1319 patients were included in our study. The present meta-analysis indicated that patellar denervation with electrocautery was associated with improved pain relief and decreased opioid consumption after total knee replacement. There was significant difference between groups in terms of knee range of motion. CONCLUSION Patellar denervation with electrocautery is effective in reducing pain and opioid consumption after total knee replacement. Postoperative range of motion is significantly better in patellar denervation group, which means that patellar denervation significantly improves clinical outcome.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal disease. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy had shown an effect on osteoarthritis in both some animal experiments and clinical studies, but there was no systematic review to confirm the value of shockwave therapy in the treatment of all types of osteoarthritis and compare it with other traditional therapies (especially traditional Chinese medicine). Method PubMed, Medline, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, WANFANG database, and VIP database were searched up to December 10, 2019, to identify randomized controlled trials comparing shockwave therapy and other treatments for osteoarthritis. Visual analogue scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index were extracted and analyzed by RevMan and STATA software as outcomes of pain reduction and functional improvement. Adverse reactions were recorded to evaluate the safety of shockwave therapy. Results Shockwave therapy had significant improvement in both pain reduction and functional improvement compared with placebo, corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, medication, and ultrasound (P < 0.05). In functional improvement, shockwave therapy showed statistical improvement compared with kinesiotherapy and moxibustion (P < 0.05) but not with acupotomy surgery (P = 0.24). A significant difference between shockwave therapy and platelet-rich plasma was observed in pain reduction (P < 0.05) but not in functional improvement (P = 0.89). Meanwhile, a statistical difference was found between shockwave therapy and fumigation in functional improvement (P < 0.05) but not in pain reduction (P = 0.26). Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference between shockwave therapy and manipulation in both pain reduction (P = 0.21) and functional improvement (P = 0.45). No serious adverse reaction occurred in all of studies. Conclusions Extracorporeal shockwave therapy could be recommended in the treatment of osteoarthritis as a noninvasive therapy with safety and effectiveness, but the grade of recommendations needs to be discussed in a further study.

Abstract
Over the last decades, osteoarthritis (OA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence increased due to the global ageing population and the pandemic obesity. They currently affect a substantial part of the Western world population and are characterized by enhancing the risk of disability and reduction of quality of life. OA is a multifactorial condition whose development derives from the interaction between individual and environmental factors: The best known primarily include age, female gender, genetic determinants, articular biomechanics, and obesity (OB). Given the high prevalence of OA and T2D and their association with OB and inflammation, several studies have been conducted to investigate the causative role of biological characteristics proper to T2D on the development of OA. This review aims to analyse the relationship between of OA and T2D, in order to explain the pathophysiological drivers of the degenerative process and to delineate possible targets to which appropriate treatments may be addressed in the near future.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent joint disorders globally. Patients suffering from OA are often obese and adiposity is linked to chronic inflammation. In the present study, the potential of using exosomes isolated from adipose‑derived stem cells (ADSCs) as a therapeutic tool for reducing chronic inflammation and promoting chondrogenesis was investigated using patient‑derived primary cells. First, it was tested whether patient‑derived ADSCs could differentiate into chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages. The ADSCs were then used as a source of exosomes. It was found that exosomes isolated from ADSCs, when co‑cultured with activated synovial fibroblasts, downregulated the expression of pro‑inflammatory markers interleukin (IL)‑6, NF‑κB and tumor necrosis factor‑α, while they upregulated the expression of the anti‑inflammatory cytokine IL‑10; without exosomes, the opposite observations were made. In addition, inflammation‑inflicted oxidative stress was induced in vitro by stimulating chondrocytes with H2O2. Treatment with exosomes protected articular chondrocytes from H2O2‑induced apoptosis. Furthermore, exosome treatment promoted chondrogenesis in periosteal cells and increased chondrogenic markers, including Collagen type II and β‑catenin; inhibition of Wnt/β‑catenin, using the antagonist ICG‑001, prevented exosome‑induced chondrogenesis. Periosteal cells treated with exosomes exhibited higher levels of microRNA (miR)‑145 and miR‑221. The upregulation of miR‑145 and miR‑221 was associated with the enhanced proliferation of periosteal cells and chondrogenic potential, respectively. The present study provided evidence in support for the use of patient‑derived exosomes, produced from ADSCs, for potential chondrogenic regeneration and subsequent amelioration of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common joint disease with a high incidence rate among middle‑aged and elderly individuals. However, the precise underlying pathological mechanisms and effective treatment of this disease remain to be determined. To explore the effect of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) on chondrocyte apoptosis and catabolism, the ATDC5 cell line was cultured as an in vitro model for cartilage research. Cultured cells were treated with recombinant HMGB1 at different concentrations. Hoechst staining and flow cytometry demonstrated that HMGB1 administration significantly induced apoptosis of ATDC5 cells, which was the same as the effect of interleukin‑1β treatment. HMGB1 also induced cartilage matrix degradation, as shown by Alcian blue staining. Moreover, HMGB1 markedly upregulated the expression levels of matrix metallopeptidases (MMPs) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS), while genetic silencing of HMGB1 significantly suppressed their expressions. The glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)‑3β/β‑catenin pathway was activated upon HMGB1 treatment. Pharmacological inhibitors or HMGB1 knockdown inactivated the GSK‑3β/β‑catenin pathway, inhibited the expression levels of downstream genes, including MMPs and ADAMTS, and attenuated the apoptosis of ATDC5 cells. Furthermore, the data demonstrated that HMGB1 promoted chondrocyte dysfunction via the regulation of estrogen sulfotransferase and Runt‑related transcription factor 2. Thus, the findings of the present study demonstrated that HMGB1 induces chondrocyte cell apoptosis via activation of GSK‑3β/β‑catenin and the subsequent expression of multiple targeted genes.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the effect of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) on primary chondrocytes cultured from patients with osteoarthritis (OA). METHOD Primary chondrocytes isolated from the tibial plateau of female OA patients were characterized by immunocytochemistry analysis. Using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), cell viability was measured to select suitable 1,25(OH)2D3 concentrations for treating chondrocytes. RNA-sequencing was performed on primary chondrocytes treated with or without 1,25(OH)2D3. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) as well as gene ontology (GO)-biological process (BP) and pathways affected by 1,25(OH)2D3 were identified. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, and the hub nodes in the PPI network were identified. qRT-PCR was conducted to confirm the expression levels of six DEGs. RESULTS Positive collagen II staining confirmed the successful isolation of primary chondrocytes. CCK-8 assay showed maximal primary chondrocyte survival rate when treated with 10-5 μmol/L of 1,25(OH)2D3 for 72 h. RNA-sequencing results identified a total of 1036 DEGs, including 593 upregulated and 443 downregulated genes from 1,25(OH)2D3 treated and untreated cells. Further functional enrichment analyses showed the association of these DEGs with GO-BP terms such as response to the stimulus, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and regulation of cell motility, and KEGG pathways, including TNF signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and NF-kappa B signaling pathway. PPI network identified UBC, FOS, IFIT1, CDK1, and ISG15 as the hub nodes in the network. qRT-PCR results were in alignment with the results of RNA-sequencing. CONCLUSION Our study might provide a theoretical basis for the use of vitamin D in treating OA.

Abstract
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) serve as key regulators in human disorders. Previous research reported that miR-211-5p is down-regulated in osteoarthritis (OA) and that Fibulin-4 inhibits chondrocyte differentiation. However, the role of miR-211-5p in the development of OA has not been clarified, and its downstream target has not been studied. This study aimed to explore the effect of miR-211-5p on chondrocyte differentiation and its influence on OA pathogenesis, as well as the interaction between miR-211-5p and Fibulin-4. In this study, we found that miR-211-5p is significantly down-regulated in articular cartilage tissues in an OA rat model, whereas it is clearly up-regulated during chondrocyte differentiation of ATDC5 cells. Silencing miR-211-5p in ATDC5 cells had an adverse effect on chondrocyte differentiation. Fibulin-4 was identified as a target of miR-211-5p, and miR-211-5p participated in chondrocyte differentiation by negatively regulating Fibulin-4 expression. In the OA rat model, miR-211-5p overexpression facilitated chondrocyte differentiation, along with the reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines level and the level of proteinases responsible for cartilage matrix degradation. In summary, miR-211-5p promotes chondrocyte differentiation by negatively regulating Fibulin-4 expression, and represses the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and proteinases responsible for cartilage matrix degradation in OA. miR-211-5p may serve as a promising target for OA treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful social problem, which breaks down the articular cartilage, causes the failure of synovial joints and subchondral bone sclerosis. OA etiology is not completely understood, but joint trauma, infection, obesity, and diseases are the most important risk factors for OA developing. Recent studies suggested inflammatory factors and genetic components can be involved in the pathogenesis of OA. Experimental evidences suggest a linkage between Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genetic diversity and OA. But a few studies have been conducted in this subject. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between HLA-DRB1*0101 and OA in Iranian patients. METHODS Thirty patients with knee osteoarthritis and 30 healthy people as the control group were included in the study. Sex, weight, age, Body mass index (BMI) and height of all participants were recorded. HLA-DRB1*0101 was typed by PCR using the sequence-specific primer. RESULTS Our results showed 80% of knee osteoarthritis patients were positively HLA-DRB1*0101 (n=24), while only 26.7% of controls were positive (n=8) (P= 0.015). CONCLUSION These findings proposed that there is a significant association between HLADRB1* 0101 and susceptibility to knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
The mechanism of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is still not clearly elucidated. SMAD3 gene polymorphisms are considered to play a vital role in OA pathogenesis. We thus investigated the relationship of SMAD3 rs1065080 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to knee osteoarthritis in a Chinese Han population. A total of 237 patients and 142 healthy control participants were enrolled in a case-control study. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples and genotyped by using the Mass-ARRAY method. Our results revealed that there was a significant difference between patients and healthy controls in the genotype of A and G (p = 0.019); those with a GG genotype had a significant increase in OA risk (OR 2.881, 95% CI 1.993-7.353, p = 0.025). In addition, logistic regression analysis showed that the recessive genetic model decreased OA morbidity (OR 0.648, 95% CI 0.416-0.911, p = 0.046). In conclusion, the GG genotype of rs1065080 was associated with a higher risk of OA and the recessive genetic model decreased the risk of OA.

Contribution of Infrapatellar Fat Pad and Synovial Membrane to Knee Osteoarthritis Pain. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:6390182. [PMID: 31049352 PMCID: PMC6462341 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6390182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 111] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2018] [Revised: 02/26/2019] [Accepted: 03/14/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint disease and a major cause of pain and disability in the adult population. Interestingly, there are patients with symptomatic OA displaying pain, while patients with asymptomatic OA that do not experience pain but show radiographic signs of joint damage. Pain is a complex experience integrating sensory, affective, and cognitive processes related to several peripheral and central nociceptive factors besides inflammation. During the last years, the role of infrapatellar fat pad (IFP), other than the synovial membrane, has been investigated as a potential source of pain in OA. Interestingly, new findings suggest that IFP and synovial membrane might act as a functional unit in OA pathogenesis and pain. The present review discuss the role of IFP and synovial membrane in the development of OA, with a particular focus on pain onset and the possible involved mediators that may play a role in OA pathology and pain mechanisms. Inflammation of IFP and synovial membrane may drive peripheral and central sensitization in KOA. Since sensitization is associated with pain severity in knee OA and may potentially contribute to the transition from acute to chronic, persistent pain in knee OA, preventing sensitization would be a potentially effective and novel means of preventing worsening of pain in knee OA.

Bax Targeted by miR-29a Regulates Chondrocyte Apoptosis in Osteoarthritis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:1434538.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease, where chondrocyte apoptosis is responsible for cartilage degeneration. Bax is a well-known proapoptotic protein of the Bcl-2 family, involved in a large number of physiological and pathological processes. However, the regulation mechanisms of Bax underlying chondrocyte apoptosis in OA remain unknown. In the present study, we determined the role of Bax in human OA and chondrocyte apoptosis. The results showed that Bax was upregulated in chondrocytes from the articular cartilage of OA patients and in cultured chondrocyte-like ATDC5 cells treated by IL-1β. Bax was identified to be the direct target of miR-29a by luciferase reporter assay and by western blotting. Inhibition of miR-29a by the mimics protested and overexpression by miR-29a inhibitors aggravated ATDC5 apoptosis induced by IL-1β. These data reveal that miR-29a/Bax axis plays an important role in regulating chondrocyte apoptosis and suggest that targeting the proapoptotic protein Bax and increasing expression levels of miR-29a emerge as potential approach for protection against the development of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive articular cartilage degradation. Although there have been significant advances in OA management, to date, there are no effective treatment options to modify progression of the disease. We believe these unmet needs could be bridged by nutrients from natural products. Collagen induced arthritis in rats was developed and utilized to evaluate anti-inflammatory and cartilage protection activity of orally administered botanical composition, UP1306 (50 mg/kg) and Methotrexate (75 µg/kg) daily for three weeks. Objective arthritis severity markers, urine, synovial lavage, and serum were collected. At necropsy, the hock joint from each rat was collected for histopathology analysis. Urinary cartilage degradation marker (CTX-II), pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6), and proteases (Matrix Metallopeptidase 3 (MMP3) and 13) were measured. Rats treated with UP1306 showed statistically significant improvements in arthritis severity markers, including uCTX-II (91.4% vs. collagen-induced arthritis (CIA)), serum IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels as well as synovial MMP-13. The histopathology data were also well aligned with the severity score of arthritis for both UP1306 and Methotrexate. UP1306, a botanical composition that contains a standardized blend of extracts from the heartwood of Acacia catechu and the root bark of Morus alba, could potentially be considered as a dietary supplement product for the management of arthritis.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-590-5p in chondrocyte apoptosis and autophagy in response to mechanical pressure injury in vitro, as well as to elucidate its regulatory mechanism in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. We applied mechanical pressure of 10 MPa to chondrocytes for 60 minutes to establish the chondrocyte model of experimentally induced mechanical injury. We then investigated the expression of miR-590-5p in the injury model and the effects of miR-590-5p dysregulation on the expression of cell apoptosis-related and autophagy-related proteins. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Moreover, the potential targets of miR-590-5p were investigated. Mechanical pressure injury resulted in a significantly increased expression of miR-590-5p. Suppression of miR-590-5p significantly increased chondrocytes viability, inhibited chondrocytes apoptosis and autophagy in response to mechanical pressure injury. In addition, mechanical pressure injury led to a decreased expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1). Moreover, TGFβ1 was confirmed as a direct target of miR-590-5p. Knockdown of TGFβ1 significantly induced chondrocytes apoptosis and autophagy in response to mechanical pressure injury, which was contrary to the effects of miR-590-5p suppression. Furthermore, overexpression of TGFβ1 and miR-590-5p at the same time significantly reversed the effects of overexpression of miR-590-5p alone on chondrocytes apoptosis and autophagy. Our results indicate that upregulation of miR-590-5p may target TGFβ1 to promote chondrocyte apoptosis and autophagy in response to mechanical pressure injury, thus contributing to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether functional polymorphisms in the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) gene are associated with susceptibility to knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the Chinese Han population. Six TIMP-2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assayed using MassARRAY in 300 patients clinically and radiographically diagnosed with knee OA and in 428 controls. Allelic and genotypic frequencies were compared between groups. Logistic regression adjusting for age and gender was used to estimate risk associations between specific genotypes and knee OA by computing odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). We found that allele "A" in rs7342880 was significantly associated with increased risk of knee OA (OR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.09-1.91, p = 0.035). In addition, in the over-dominant model, rs4789936 correlated with reduced risk of knee OA, adjusting for age and gender (OR = 0.69, 95%CI = 0.49-0.98, p = 0.036). Finally, rs7342880 correlated with increased risk of knee OA in females. This study provides evidence that TIMP-2 is a knee OA susceptibility gene in the Chinese population and a potential diagnostic and preventive marker for the disease.

Abstract
Rhein is an active metabolite of the drug diacerein, whose anti-inflammatory properties have been demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo models. However, the low oral bioavailability of rhein has limited its utility as a potential treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic inflammatory disease. In order to overcome this limitation, the aim of this work was the development of a drug delivery system intended for intra-articular administration of rhein, based on polymeric biodegradable PLGA microparticles (MPs) loaded with the drug. The MPs, prepared by the emulsion-solvent evaporation technique were characterized in terms of several parameters including morphology, encapsulation efficiency, molecular interactions between components of the formulation and in vitro release profiling. Furthermore, cell-based in vitro studies were performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the formulations and their effect on the release of inflammatory markers including pro-inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the prepared MPs exhibited an almost spherical shape with smooth surface. The size distribution of the prepared MPs ranged between 1.9 and 7.9μm, with mean diameter of 4.23±0.87μm. The optimal encapsulation efficiency of rhein was 63.8±3.0%. The results of powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry studies demonstrated that the active ingredient is partially the crystalline state, dispersed in the polymer matrix. This outcome is somewhat reflected in the release kinetics of rhein from the MPs. The cytotoxicity evaluation, carried out in macrophages derived from THP-1 cells, showed that both rhein-loaded MPs and unloaded MPs did not significantly affect the cell viability at MP concentrations up to 13.8μM. In lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages, the rhein-loaded MPs significantly decreased the production of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and (ROS), when compared to the unloaded MPs. In conclusion, the results of this preliminary study suggest that an MP-based formulation of rhein could be tested in animal models of inflammation, aiming for an injectable commercial product capable of providing a therapeutic solution to patients suffering from chronic joint diseases.

Abstract
Objectives: The primary objective is to identify effective land-based therapeutic exercise interventions and provide evidence-based recommendations for managing hip osteoarthritis. A secondary objective is to develop an Ottawa Panel evidence-based clinical practice guideline for hip osteoarthritis. Methods: The search strategy and modified selection criteria from a Cochrane review were used. Studies included hip osteoarthritis patients in comparative controlled trials with therapeutic exercise interventions. An Expert Panel arrived at a Delphi survey consensus to endorse the recommendations. The Ottawa Panel hierarchical alphabetical grading system (A, B, C+, C, D, D+, or D-) considered the study design (level I: randomized controlled trial and level II: controlled clinical trial), statistical significance ( p < 0.5), and clinical importance (⩾15% improvement). Results: Four high-quality studies were included, which demonstrated that variations of strength training, stretching, and flexibility exercises are generally effective for improving the management of hip osteoarthritis. Strength training exercises displayed the greatest improvements for pain (Grade A), disability (Grades A and C+), physical function (Grade A), stiffness (Grade A), and range of motion (Grade A) within a short time period (8–24 weeks). Stretching also greatly improved physical function (Grade A), and flexibility exercises improved pain (Grade A), range of motion (Grade A), physical function (Grade A), and stiffness (Grade C+). Conclusion: The Ottawa Panel recommends land-based therapeutic exercise, notably strength training, for management of hip osteoarthritis in reducing pain, stiffness and self-reported disability, and improving physical function and range of motion.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with chronic inflammation, and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been shown to provide pain relief and reparative effects in clinical investigations. MSCs are often delivered with hyaluronic acid (HA), although the combined mechanism of action is not fully understood; we thus investigated the immunomodulatory effects of combining MSCs with different molecular weights (MW) of HA. Methods HAs with MWs of 1.6 MDa (hHA), 150 kDa or 7.5 kDa, were added to MSCs alone or MSC-immune cell co-cultures. Gene expression analyses, flow cytometry and cytokine measurements were assessed to determine the effect of HAs on the MSC interactions with immune cells. Results MSCs in the presence of HAs, in both normal and lymphocyte-conditioned medium, showed negligible changes in gene expression. While addition of hHA resulted in increased proliferation of activated lymphocytes, both in the presence and absence of MSCs, the overall combined effect was a more regulated, homeostatic one; this was supported by higher ratios of secreted IL10/IFNγ and IL10/IL2, in lymphocyte cultures, than with lower MW HAs or no HA, both in the presence and absence of MSCs. In addition, examination of monocyte-derived macrophages showed an increased M2 macrophage frequency (CD14+CD163+CD206+) in the presence of hHA, both with and without MSCs. Conclusions hHA produces a less pro-inflammatory environment than lower MW HAs. Moreover, combining hHA with MSCs has an additive effect on the MSC-mediated immunomodulation, suggestive of a more potent combination treatment modality for OA.
