Syringic acid promotes cartilage extracellular matrix generation and attenuates osteoarthritic cartilage degradation by activating TGF-β/Smad and inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway. Phytother Res 2024; 38:1000-1012. [PMID: 38126609 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic degenerative disease which is characterized by the disruption of articular cartilage. Syringic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other effects including promoting osteogenesis. However, the effect of SA on OA has not yet been reported. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of SA on OA in a mouse model of medial meniscal destabilization. The expressions of genes were evaluated by qPCR or western blot or immunofluorescence. RNA-seq analysis was performed to examine gene transcription alterations in chondrocytes treated with SA. The effect of SA on OA was evaluated using destabilization of the medial meniscus model of mice. We found that SA had no obvious toxic effect on chondrocytes, while promoting the expressions of chondrogenesis-related marker genes. The results of RNA-seq analysis showed that extracellular matrix-receptor interaction and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathways were enriched among the up-regulated genes by SA. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that SA transcriptionally activated Smad3. In addition, we found that SA inhibited the overproduction of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation-related cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β, as well as matrix metalloproteinase 3 and matrix metalloproteinase 13. The cell apoptosis and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling were also inhibited by SA treatment. Most importantly, SA attenuated cartilage degradation in a mouse OA model. Taken together, our study demonstrated that SA could alleviate cartilage degradation in OA by activating the TGF-β/Smad and inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway.

The Potential Benefic Effect of Nicotinamide Riboside in Treating a Murine Model of Monoiodoacetate-Induced Knee Osteoarthritis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6920. [PMID: 37959383 PMCID: PMC10650314 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12216920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
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.

Bergapten exerts a chondroprotective effect in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis by combining intestinal flora alteration and reactive oxygen species reduction. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 167:115525. [PMID: 37748407 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115525] [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: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Bergapten, a furanocoumarin naturally occurring in bergamot essential oil, has been demonstrated to have the potential to alleviate osteoarthritis-related symptoms via its anti-inflammatory activity. Although its systemic bioavailability is limited, its precise mechanisms of action and effects on temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) and its relationship with the intestinal flora remain unclear. Here, we explored the anti-TMJOA effect of BGT combined with the interleukin-1β-induced inflammatory response of chondrocytes in a monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced TMJOA rat model. It was confirmed that BGT effectively reduced proinflammatory mediators and increased type II collagen, bone volume, and trabecular number of condyles in TMJOA rats. Importantly, the oral administration of BGT altered the intestinal flora of rats by increasing the relative abundances of nine prebiotic species and decreasing the relative abundance of one potential species. In addition, BGT considerably reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by suppressing glutathione, oxidized glutathione, and superoxide dismutase in the serum and malondialdehyde in urine. These results suggest that BGT exerts a chondroprotective effect, most likely by improving the intestinal flora and reducing ROS production associated with TMJOA in rats. This finding indicates a novel beneficial effect of BGT on the prevention and treatment of TMJOA.

Abstract
Purpose Recent scientific reports have revealed a close association between ferroptosis and the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis (OA). Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms by which ferroptosis influences OA and how to hobble OA progression by inhibiting chondrocyte ferroptosis have not yet been fully elucidated. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive systematic review (SR) to address these gaps. Methods Following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020, we conducted a comprehensive search of the Embase, Ovid, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant studies that investigate the association between ferroptosis and chondrocytes in OA. Our search included studies published from the inception of these databases until January 31st, 2023. Only studies that met the predetermined quality criteria were included in this SR. Results In this comprehensive SR, a total of 21 studies that met the specified criteria were considered suitable and included in the current updated synthesis. The mechanisms underlying chondrocyte ferroptosis and its association with OA progression involve various biological phenomena, including mitochondrial dysfunction, dysregulated iron metabolism, oxidative stress, and crucial signaling pathways. Conclusion Ferroptosis in chondrocytes has opened an entirely new chapter for the investigation of OA, and targeted regulation of it is springing up as an attractive and promising therapeutic tactic for OA.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play distinct but important roles in physiological and pathophysiological processes. Recent studies on osteoarthritis (OA) have suggested that ROS plays a crucial role in its development and progression, serving as key mediators in the degradation of the extracellular matrix, mitochondrial dysfunction, chondrocyte apoptosis, and OA progression. With the continuous development of nanomaterial technology, the ROS-scavenging ability and antioxidant effects of nanomaterials are being explored, with promising results already achieved in OA treatment. However, current research on nanomaterials as ROS scavengers for OA is relatively non-uniform and includes both inorganic and functionalized organic nanomaterials. Although the therapeutic efficacy of nanomaterials has been reported to be conclusive, there is still no uniformity in the timing and potential of their use in clinical practice. This paper reviews the nanomaterials currently used as ROS scavengers for OA treatment, along with their mechanisms of action, with the aim of providing a reference and direction for similar studies, and ultimately promoting the early clinical use of nanomaterials for OA treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Nanomaterials serving as promising ROS scavengers have gained increasing attention in recent years. This review provides a comprehensive overview of ROS production and regulation, as well as their role in OA pathogenesis. Furthermore, this review highlights the applications of various types of nanomaterials as ROS scavengers in OA treatment and their mechanisms of action. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of nanomaterial-based ROS scavengers in OA therapy are discussed.

Hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress promotes expression of CXCL15/Lungkine mRNA in a MEK/ERK-dependent manner in fibroblast-like synoviocytes derived from mouse temporomandibular joint. J Oral Biosci 2023; 65:97-103. [PMID: 36584898 DOI: 10.1016/j.job.2022.12.002] [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] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is a multifactorial disease caused by inflammation and oxidative stress. It has been hypothesized that mechanical stress-induced injury of TMJ tissues induces the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydroxyl radical (OH∙), in the synovial fluid (SF). In general, the overproduction of ROS contributes to synovial inflammation and dysfunction of the subchondral bone in OA. However, the mechanism by which ROS-injured synoviocytes recruit inflammatory cells to TMJ-OA lesions remains unclear. METHODS Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to evaluate the mRNA expression of chemoattractant molecules. The phosphorylation levels of intracellular signaling molecules were evaluated using western blot analysis. RESULTS Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment significantly promoted mRNA expression of neutrophil chemoattractant CXCL15/Lungkine in a dose-dependent manner (100-500 μM) in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) derived from mouse TMJ. H2O2 (500 μM) significantly upregulated the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1 and ERK2 in FLSs. Intriguingly, the mitogen-activated protein (MAP)/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor U0126 (10 μM) nullified H2O2-induced increase in CXCL15/Lungkine mRNA expression. Additionally, H2O2 (500 μM) administration significantly upregulated OH∙ production in FLSs, as assessed by live-cell permeant fluorescent probe targeted against OH∙ under fluorescence microscopy. Furthermore, the ROS inhibitor N-acetyl-l-cysteine (5 mM) partially but significantly reversed H2O2-mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2. CONCLUSIONS H2O2-induced oxidative stress promoted the expression of CXCL15/Lungkine mRNA in a MEK/ERK-dependent manner in mouse TMJ-derived FLSs, suggesting that FLSs recruit neutrophils to TMJ-OA lesions through the production of CXCL15/Lungkine and exacerbate the local inflammatory response.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease and has been studied extensively in recent years as no promising therapy available so far for its treatment and remains a great challenge for health care specialists. Although the identification of some major mechanisms that contribute to this disease suggests a plethora of bioactive agents in tackling the associated complications yet OA's pathophysiology is still poorly understood owing to complex mechanistic changes observed. Experimental research is now exploring a wide range of therapeutically effective agents in an effort to find a way to repair OA-related joint degeneration and halt it from getting worse. Data was acquired and reviewed from most relevant and recent studies. This review summarizes the studies that are currently available and focuses on how various unconventional functional oils affect osteoarthritis and the affected joint tissues. An analysis of the recent scientific literature allowed us to highlight the potential anti-arthritic properties of edible oils and their main constituents, which seems to suggest an interesting new potential therapeutic application. Due to eccentric nature of OA, it is necessary to concentrate initially on the management of symptoms. The evidence supporting functional oils chondroprotective potential is still accumulating, underpinning a global need for more sustainable natural sources of treatment. More clinical research that focuses on the consequences of long-term treatment, possible negative effects, and epigenetic implications is necessary to get optimistic results. However, different animal or clinical studies suggest that linolenic and linoleic fatty acids decreased chondrocyte oxidative stress, cartilage breakdown, and expression of inflammatory markers. Distinct fatty acids along with minor components of oils also reduced the generation of prostaglandins and decreased oxidative stress. Furthermore, the potential roles of the main components of edible oils and possible negative results (if any) are also reported. While no severe side effects have been reported for any edible oils. Overall, these studies identify and support the use of functional oils as an adjuvant therapy for the management of OA and as a means of symptomatic alleviation for OA patients. However, to prove the effectiveness or to draw precise conclusions, high-quality clinical trials are required.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 157:113924. [PMID: 36450213 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113924] [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: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress disrupts the homeostasis of the redox state in cells and induces apoptosis. Prolonged oxidative stress can impair the normal function of cells, tissues, and organs and lead to the development of several diseases. H-2 was synthesized by derivatising N-Alkylamides (NAAs) from Anacyclus pyrethrum (L.) DC, which is commonly used in the treatment of vitiligo in Uyghurs. The antioxidant activity and potential molecular mechanisms of H-2 were investigated using Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) and mouse melanoma cell B16-F10 models. The in vivo anti-vitiligo activity of H-2 was studied using C57BL/6 mice. The results showed that H-2 could increase the survival time of nematodes under oxidative stress, promote the nuclear localization of DAF-16, and enhance the expression of Superoxide Dismutase 3 (SOD-3) in nematodes thereby activating the antioxidant enzyme system. H-2 could affect the survival rate of age-1 and akt-1 mutants under oxidative stress. H-2 could reverse the oxidative stress damage by reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in the Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) -induced oxidative stress damage model of mouse melanoma cells B16-F10. In addition, it was also able to increase the number of melanocytes in the hair follicles of vitiligo model mice and improve the phenomenon of skin damage in mice. In conclusion, our findings suggest that H-2 can alleviate oxidative stress damage in C. elegans and B16-F10, which may be associated with oxidative stress, suppression of antioxidant defences, and transcription factors DAF-16/FOXO, providing beneficial evidence for the application of H-2 in the vitiligo treatment.

Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) and asthma are two common chronic diseases with increasing incidence and prevalence, whereas there has been rare evidence to suggest the relationship between OA and asthma. This study aimed to analyze the causal relationship between OA and asthma. Methods Existing studies of the relationship between asthma and OA published till July 18, 2023, were identified from PubMed and Web of Science databases for meta-analysis. Subsequently, the causal relationship of all and site-specific OA with asthma was explored through a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Results A total of four eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis. In these studies, 80,550 participants were recruited, of whom 13,781 patients had OA. The asthma group had a significantly higher prevalence of OA than the control group (odds ratio (OR) = 2.08; 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.42-3.03). However, MR analysis did not support a causal relationship between asthma and all OA and site-specific OA: knee and hip OA (OR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.98-1.09), knee OA (OR = 1.02; 95% CI:0.96-1.08), and hip OA (OR = 1.04; 95% CI: 0.97-1.12). No causal relationship between OA and asthma was found through reverse MR analysis. Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that patients with asthma are likely to have a greater prevalence of OA. However, the result of MR analysis reveals that asthma does not have a causal relationship to all OA or site-specific OA.

Potential Anti-Inflammatory and Chondroprotective Effect of Luzula sylvatica. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010127. [PMID: 36613576 PMCID: PMC9820367 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Interest in the Juncaceae family has risen as some members have shown anti-inflammatory properties and interesting compounds. In this regard, we decided to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Luzula sylvatica, a Juncaceae not yet extensively studied, in the context of osteoarthritis. (2) The Luzula sylvatica Ethanol extract (LS-E) was used to test the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by leucocytes, the IL1β and PGE2 production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), the production of EP4, and the activation of NFκB in THP-1, as well as the IL1β-activated normal human knee articular chondrocytes (NHAC-Kn) gene expression, grown in monolayers or maintained in alginate beads. (3) Organic acids, caffeoylquinic acids, quercetin and luteolin, compounds frequently found in this family were identified. The LS-E exhibited inhibited ROS formation. The LS-E did not affect NFκB activation and IL1β secretion but dampened the secretion of PGE2 by PBMCs and the presence of EP4 in THP-1. It also modulated the expression of NHAC-Kn in both models and inhibited the expression of several proteases and inflammatory mediators. (4) Luzula sylvatica might supply interesting antioxidant protection against cartilage damages and lessen joint inflammation, notably by decreasing PGE2 secretion in the synovial fluid. Moreover, it could act directly on chondrocytes by decreasing the expression of proteases and, thus, preventing the degradation of the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Leptin and ROS are implicated in the regulation of inflammatory pathways including NLRP3-inflammasome. We investigated the functional link between leptin, ROS and NLRP3-inflammasome formation/activation in osteoarthritis (OA), an age-related disease. We found that inflammasome components' (NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 and cleaved Caspase-1) protein expression were increased in OA cartilage biopsies and chondrocytes compared to healthy cartilage and chondrocytes. Immunofluorescence showed increased co-localization of NLRP3/ASC and NLRP3/Caspase-1, ASC-specks formation and ROS levels in OA compared to normal chondrocytes. NOX4 mRNA expression and IL-1β/IL-18 secretion levels were also elevated in OA chondrocytes. Furthermore, NLRP3-siRNA in OA chondrocytes revealed significant MMP-9/MMP-13 downregulation. To elucidate leptin/ROS/NLRP3-inflammasome interactions, OA chondrocytes were treated with ROS-inhibitor NAC, NOXs-inhibitor DPI, NOX4-inhibitor GLX351322 and leptin-siRNA, while normal chondrocytes were incubated with leptin with or without DPI or GLX351322. We observed attenuated ROS levels and NLRP3-inflammasome formation/activation in NAC-, DPI- or GLX351322-treated OA chondrocytes, while the same effect was shown after transfection with leptin-siRNA. Furthermore, incubation of normal chondrocytes with leptin enhanced ROS production and inflammasome formation/activation, while pretreatment with DPI or GLX351322 abolished leptin's stimulatory effects confirming leptin-NOX4-ROS-inflammasome regulatory axis. Overall, our findings provide novel evidence indicating that leptin-induced NLRP3-inflammasome formation/activation in OA chondrocytes is mediated by NOX4-dependent ROS production.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disorder worldwide which causes great health and economic burden. However, there remains an unmet goal to develop an effective therapeutic method to prevent or delay OA. Chondrocytes, as the major cells involved in OA progression, may serve as a promising therapeutic target. Results A kind of carbon dots (CDs) with excellent biocompatibility was fabricated from folic acid via hydrothermal method and could effectively attenuate osteoarthritis. It was demonstrated that CDs treatment could rescue IL1β-induced proinflammatory responses, oxidative stress, cartilage degeneration and extracellular matrix degradation. Moreover, CDs reprogrammed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage inflammation and polarization. Conditioned medium (CM) from CDs-treated macrophages could attenuate IL1β-induced chondrocyte injury. Also, CM from CDs-treated chondrocytes had immunoregulatory functions on macrophages. Mechanistically, CDs inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways in IL1β-stimulated chondrocytes. In vivo, anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) mice model was adopted and it was indicated that intra-articular injection of CDs effectively delays OA pathogenesis. Conclusions Taken together, these findings indicated CDs could mediate OA via promoting cartilage repair and immunomodulating macrophages within local microenvironment, which may provide evidences for utilizing CDs as a novel nanomaterial for OA treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Selenium (Se) as well as selenoproteins are vital for osteochondral system development. Se deficiency (SeD) has a definite impact on the expression and activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs). Abnormal expression of some HDACs affects cartilage development. This current study aims to explore the relationship between differentially expressed HDACs and cartilage development, especially extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis maintenance, under SeD conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dark Agouti rats and C28/I2 cell line under SeD states were used to detect the differently expressed HDAC by RT-qPCR, western blotting and IHC staining. Meanwhile, the biological roles of the above HDAC in cartilage development and homeostasis maintenance were confirmed by siRNA transfection, western blotting, RNA sequence and inhibitor treatment experiments. RESULTS HDAC2 exhibited lower expression at protein level in both animals and chondrocytes during SeD condition. The results of cell-level experiments indicated that forkhead box O3A (FOXO3A), which was required to maintain metabolic homeostasis of cartilage matrix, was reduced by HDAC2 knockdown. Meanwhile, induced HDAC2 was positively associated with FOXO3A in rat SeD model. Meanwhile, knockdown of HDAC2 and FOXO3A led to an increase of intracellular ROS level, which activated NF-κB pathway. Se supplementary significantly inhibited the activation of NF-κB pathway with IL-1β treatment. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that low expression of HDAC2 under SeD condition increased ROS content by decreasing FOXO3A in chondrocytes, which led to the activation of NF-κB pathway and ECM homeostasis imbalance.

Abstract
Intra-articular injections of glucocorticoids (GC) or hyaluronic acid (HA) are commonly used interventions for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis (OA). Both substances are combined to achieve a chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effect. Clinical studies have shown benefits, but data on the cellular level are still lacking. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the GC triamcinolone hexacetonide, HA, and a mix of both substances on cytokine-treated chondrocytes in vitro. Chondrocytes isolated from human articular cartilage were seeded on 6- and 24-well plates. Mimicking OA’s inflammatory state, cells were treated with IL-1β and IL-17 for six days, whereby, after three days, test substances (10%) were added to the culture medium. Chondrocytes were analyzed on days three and six concerning their actin polymerization, expression of anabolic and catabolic genes, metabolic activity, cytokine release, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Adding HA or GC/HA to the inflammatory culture medium increased the metabolic activity of chondrocytes, while groups containing GC reduced catabolic gene expression and the release of TNF-α. In addition, enhanced F-actin content was shown supplementing HA or GC/HA to the culture medium. Supplementing GC with HA leads to an anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effect by diminishing the side effects of GC supplementation alone.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage and causes severe joint pain, physical disability, and impaired quality of life. Recently, it was found that mitochondria not only act as a powerhouse of cells that provide energy for cellular metabolism, but are also involved in crucial pathways responsible for maintaining chondrocyte physiology. Therefore, a growing amount of evidence emphasizes that impairment of mitochondrial function is associated with OA pathogenesis; however, the exact mechanism is not well known. Moreover, the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)–Sirtuin (SIRT) signaling pathway, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and microRNA (miRNA) are important for regulating the physiological and pathological processes of chondrocytes, indicating that these may be targets for OA treatment. In this review, we first focus on the importance of mitochondria metabolic dysregulation related to OA. Then, we show recent evidence on the AMPK-SIRT mediated pathway associated with OA pathogenesis and potential treatment options. Finally, we discuss current research into the effects of lncRNA and miRNA on OA progression or inhibition.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is related to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA); however, there are no effective drugs to treat OA for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Studies have shown that mitochonic acid-5 (MA-5) has a protective effect against mitochondrial damage and plays a role in mitophagy. However, it is not clear whether MA-5 has a beneficial effect on inflammatory articular cartilage. Here, human OA cartilage was obtained from patients undergoing total joint replacement. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) was used to stimulate chondrocytes and induce inflammatory injury. Cell Counting Kit-8, TUNEL, and flow cytometry assays were used to assess apoptosis. Gene expression was examined using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Mitochondrial function was evaluated using immunoblotting, mitochondrial membrane potential assay, JC-1 staining, and immunofluorescence analysis. Mitophagy was detected using immunoblotting and immunofluorescence. 3-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) pyridine (3-TYP), a specific inhibitor of Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), was used to block the SIRT3/Parkin pathway. Mitophagy in the cartilage sections was evaluated via immunohistochemistry. IL-1β was found to induce chondrocyte apoptosis by inhibiting SIRT3 expression and mitophagy. In addition, inflammatory damage reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential and promoted the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to increased mitochondrial division, mitochondrial fusion inhibition, and the consequent mitochondrial damage. In contrast, the MA-5 treatment inhibited excessive ROS production by upregulating mitophagy, maintaining the mitochondrial membrane potential, and reducing mitochondrial apoptosis. After chemically blocking SIRT3 with 3-TYP, Parkin-related mitophagy was also inhibited, an effect that was prevented by pretreatment of the chondrocytes with MA-5, thereby suggesting that SIRT3 is upstream of Parkin. Overall, MA-5 was found to enhance the activity of SIRT3, promote Parkin-dependent mitophagy, eliminate depolarized/damaged mitochondria in chondrocytes, and protect cartilage cells. In conclusion, MA-5 inhibits IL-1β-induced oxidative stress and protects chondrocytes by upregulating the SIRT3/Parkin-related autophagy signaling pathway.

Abstract
LncRNAs play a regulatory role in osteoarthritis (OA); however, the detailed mechanism remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA zinc finger NFX1-type containing 1 (ZNFX1) antisense 1 (ZFAS1) in OA progression and explore its possible mechanismsagainst oxidative stress. Human cartilage specimens were obtained from 10 patients without OA who underwent traumatic amputation and 25 patients with OA who underwent total knee replacement surgery. Chondrocytes were prepared from harvested articular cartilage. ZFAS1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression levels were analyzed using quantitative reverse transcription PCR and WB. The chondrocyte growth was indicated by MTT and colony formation assays. Chondrocyte apoptosis, reactive oxygen species generation, and anti-oxidative enzymes activities were also measured. ZFAS1 expression was reduced in OA samples and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated chondrocytes used as an OA cell model mimic. ZFAS1 overexpression facilitated proliferation and repressed oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in LPS-induced chondrocytes. ZFAS1 also activated the anti-oxidative Nrf2-HO-1 pathway. ZFAS1 directly targeted miR-1323, which partially reversed the effects of ZFAS1 on chondrocyte proliferation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Furthermore, Nrf2 was negatively regulated by miR-1323. The effect of miR-1323 inhibition was partly abrogated by the administration of brusatol, an Nrf2 inhibitor. Collectively, the results showed that ZFAS1 promoted chondrocyte proliferation and repressed oxidative stress, possibly by regulating the novel miR-1323-Nrf2 axis of the inflammation and apoptosis triggered by LPS, indicating that ZFAS1 is a promising therapeutic target for OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an aging-related degenerative joint disease with a poorly defined mechanism. Here we report that kindlin-2 is highly expressed in articular chondrocytes and downregulated in the degenerated cartilage of aged mice and patients with OA. Kindlin-2 deletion in articular chondrocytes leads to spontaneous OA and exacerbates instability-induced OA lesions in adult mice. Kindlin-2 deficiency promotes mitochondrial oxidative stress and activates Stat3, leading to Runx2-mediated chondrocyte catabolism. Pharmacological inhibition of Stat3 activation or genetic ablation of Stat3 in chondrocytes reverses aberrant accumulation of Runx2 and extracellular-matrix-degrading enzymes and limits OA deteriorations caused by kindlin-2 deficiency. Deleting Runx2 in chondrocytes reverses structural changes and OA lesions caused by kindlin-2 deletion without downregulating p-Stat3. Intra-articular injection of AAV5-kindlin-2 decelerates progression of aging- and instability-induced knee joint OA in mice. Collectively, we identify a pathway consisting of kindlin-2, Stat3 and Runx2 in articular chondrocytes that is responsible for maintaining articular cartilage integrity and define a potential therapeutic target for OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that involves excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and osteochondral defects. Although multiple approaches have been developed for osteochondral regeneration, how to balance the biochemical and physical microenvironment in OA remains a big challenge. In this study, a bioceramic scaffold by 3D printed akermanite (AKT) integrated with hair-derived antioxidative nanoparticles (HNPs)/microparticles (HMPs) for ROS scavenging and osteochondral regeneration has been developed. The prepared bioscaffold with multi-mimetic enzyme effects, which can scavenge a broad spectrum of free radicals in OA, can protect chondrocytes under the ROS microenvironment. Importantly, the bioscaffold can distinctly stimulate the proliferation and maturation of chondrocytes due to the stimulation of the glucose transporter pathway (GLUT) via HNPs/HMPs. Furthermore, it significantly accelerated osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). In vivo results showed that the bioscaffold can effectively enhance the osteochondral regeneration compared to the unmodified scaffold. The work shows that integration of antioxidant and mechanical properties via the bioscaffold is a promising strategy for osteochondral regeneration in OA treatment.

Abstract
We aim to determine serum dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis with novel methods in early-stage osteoarthritis and late-stage osteoarthritis patients and investigated whether it was associated with the progression of osteoarthritis risk or not. One hundred eighteen patients were included in this prospective study. Osteoarthritis patients were divided into five stages, according to the Kellgren-Lawrence scale. Dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis was determined with a novel spectrophotometric method. Late-stage osteoarthritis patients had significantly lower levels of native and total thiol than the patients of early-stage osteoarthritis. Disulphide, index-1, index-2 levels, and WOMAC score of late-stage osteoarthritis patients were significantly higher than the ones belonging to patients of early-stage osteoarthritis. Decreased native thiol and total thiol levels and increased WOMAC score and disulphide levels were independently associated with increased risk of late-stage osteoarthritis. We suggest that both WOMAC score and dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis may be implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of osteoarthritis. We also recommend that dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis may have clinical utility as possible markers of differential diagnosis of early-stage and late-stage osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial arthritic disease of weight-bearing joints concomitant with chronic and intolerable pain, loss of locomotion and impaired quality of life in the elderly population. Although the prevalence of OA increases with age, its specific mechanisms have not been elucidated and effective therapeutic disease-modifying drugs have not been developed. As essential organelles in chondrocytes, mitochondria supply energy and play vital roles in cellular metabolism, proliferation and apoptosis. Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is the key mechanism to coordinate various mitochondrial biofunctions, primarily through mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics, autophagy and the newly discovered mitocytosis. An increasing number of studies have revealed that a loss of MQC homeostasis contributes to the cartilage damage during the occurrence and development of OA. Several master MQC-associated signaling pathways and regulators exert chondroprotective roles in OA, while cartilage damage-related molecular mechanisms have been partially identified. In this review, we summarized known mechanisms mediated by dysregulated MQC in the pathogenesis of OA and latent bioactive ingredients and drugs for the prevention and treatment of OA through the maintenance of MQC.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) has been recognized as an age-related degenerative disease commonly seen in the elderly that affects the whole “organ” including cartilage, subchondral bone, synovium, and muscles. An increasing number of studies have suggested that the accumulation of senescent cells triggering by various stresses in the local joint contributes to the pathogenesis of age-related diseases including OA. In this review, we mainly focus on the role of the senescent skeletal cells (chondrocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocyte, and muscle cells) in initiating the development and progression of OA alone or through cross-talk with the macrophages/synovial cells. Accordingly, we summarize the current OA-targeted therapies based on the abovementioned theory, e.g., by eliminating senescent skeletal cells and/or inhibiting the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that drives senescence. Furthermore, the existing animal models for the study of OA from the perspective of senescence are highlighted to fill the gap between basic research and clinical applications. Overall, in this review, we systematically assess the current understanding of cellular senescence in OA, which in turn might shed light on the stratified OA treatments.

Abstract
Background To examine the potential therapeutic targets of Chinese medicine formula San-Miao-San (SMS) in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), we analyzed the active compounds of SMS and key targets of OA and investigated the interacting pathways using network pharmacological approaches and molecular docking analysis. Methods The active compounds of SMS and OA-related targets were searched and screened by TCMSP, DrugBank, Genecards, OMIM, DisGeNet, TTD, and PharmGKB databases. Venn analysis and PPI were performed for evaluating the interaction of the targets. The topological analysis and molecular docking were used to confirm the subnetworks and binding affinity between active compounds and key targets, respectively. The GO and KEGG functional enrichment analysis for all targets of each subnetwork were conducted. Results A total of 57 active compounds and 203 targets of SMS were identified by the TCMSP and DrugBank database, while 1791 OA-related targets were collected from the Genecards, OMIM, DisGeNet, TTD, and PharmGKB databases. By Venn analysis, 108 intersection targets between SMS targets and OA targets were obtained. Most of these intersecting targets involve quercetin, kaempferol, and wogonin. Moreover, intersecting targets identified by PPI analysis were introduced into Cytoscape plug-in CytoNCA for topological analysis. Hence, nine key targets of SMS for OA treatment were obtained. Furthermore, the potential binding conformations between active compounds and key targets were found through molecular docking analysis. According to the DAVID enrichment analysis, the main biological processes of SMS in the treatment of OA include oxidative stress, response to reactive oxygen species, and apoptotic signaling pathways. Finally, we found wogonin, the key compound in SMS, might play a pivotal role on Toll-like receptor, IL-17, TNF, osteoclast differentiation, and apoptosis signaling pathways through interacting with four key targets. Conclusions Therefore, this study elucidated the potential active compounds and key targets of SMS in the treatment of OA based on network pharmacology.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) substantially reduces the quality of life of the elderly. OA therapy remains a challenge since no treatment options for its causes are so far available. Over recent years, researchers have speculated that emodin may represent a potential treatment strategy for OA. However, it remains unclear whether the mechanism of action of emodin is associated with the inhibition of OA-induced oxidative stress. In the present study, the potential antioxidant mechanism of action of emodin and its protective properties against the development of OA were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, emodin inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in chondrocytes induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and reduced the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)3 and MMP13 in a concentration-dependent manner. It was found that emodin upregulated the Nrf2/NQO1/HO-1 pathway, thereby attenuating the effects of oxidative stress caused by OA. In a rat model of posttraumatic OA induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT), emodin reduced the extent of joint swelling. Emodin attenuated oxidative damage in the cartilage by upregulating superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH) activity, reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration and inhibiting the expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation biomarkers cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I) and type II collagen (CTX-II), thereby reducing cartilage damage. In summary, the present study indicates that emodin reduces ECM degradation and oxidative stress in chondrocytes via the Nrf2/NQO1/HO-1 pathway, thereby ameliorating OA in rats.

Abstract
In the past decade, cartilage tissue engineering has arisen as a promising therapeutic option for degenerative joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, in the hope of restoring the structure and physiological functions. Hydrogels are promising biomaterials for developing engineered scaffolds for cartilage regeneration. However, hydrogel-delivered mesenchymal stem cells or chondrocytes could be exposed to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the inflammatory microenvironment after being implanted into injured joints, which may affect their phenotype and normal functions and thereby hinder the regeneration efficacy. To attenuate ROS induced side effects, a multifunctional hydrogel with an innate anti-oxidative ability was produced in this study. The hydrogel was rapidly formed through a dynamic covalent bond between phenylboronic acid grafted hyaluronic acid (HA-PBA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) and was further stabilized through a secondary crosslinking between the acrylate moiety on HA-PBA and the free thiol group from thiolated gelatin. The hydrogel is cyto-compatible and injectable and can be used as a bioink for 3D bioprinting. The viscoelastic properties of the hydrogels could be modulated through the hydrogel precursor concentration. The presence of dynamic covalent linkages contributed to its shear-thinning property and thus good printability of the hydrogel, resulting in the fabrication of a porous grid construct and a meniscus like scaffold at high structural fidelity. The bioprinted hydrogel promoted cell adhesion and chondrogenic differentiation of encapsulated rabbit adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. Meanwhile, the hydrogel supported robust deposition of extracellular matrix components, including glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen, by embedded mouse chondrocytesin vitro. Most importantly, the hydrogel could protect encapsulated chondrocytes from ROS induced downregulation of cartilage-specific anabolic genes (ACAN and COL2) and upregulation of a catabolic gene (MMP13) after incubation with H2O2. Furthermore, intra-articular injection of the hydrogel in mice revealed adequate stability and good biocompatibilityin vivo. These results demonstrate that this hydrogel can be used as a novel bioink for the generation of 3D bioprinted constructs with anti-ROS ability to potentially enhance cartilage tissue regeneration in a chronic inflammatory and elevated ROS microenvironment.

A green-lipped mussel reduces pain behavior and chondrocyte inflammation and attenuated experimental osteoarthritis progression. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0259130.

Abstract
The green-lipped mussel (GLM) contains novel omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which exhibit anti-inflammatory and joint-protecting properties. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by a progressive loss of cartilage; oxidative stress plays a role in the pathogenesis of OA. The objectives of this study were to investigate the in vivo effects of the GLM on pain severity and cartilage degeneration using an experimental rat OA model, and to explore the mode of action of GLM. OA was induced in rats by intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) into the knee. Oral GLM was initiated on the day after 3dyas of MIA injection. Limb nociception was assessed by measuring the paw withdrawal latency and threshold. Samples were analyzed both macroscopically and histologically. Immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, nitrotyrosine, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in knee joints. Also, the GLM was applied to OA chondrocyte, and the expression on catabolic marker and necroptosis factor were evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Administration of the GLM improved pain levels by preventing cartilage damage and inflammation. GLM significantly attenuated the expression levels of mRNAs encoding matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), MMP-13, and ADAMTS5 in IL-1β-stimulated human OA chondrocytes. GLM decreased the expression levels of the necroptosis mediators RIPK1, RIPK3, and the mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) in IL-1β-stimulated human OA chondrocytes. Thus, GLM reduced pain and cartilage degeneration in rats with experimentally induced OA. The chondroprotective properties of GLM included suppression of oxidative damage and inhibition of catabolic factors implicated in the pathogenesis of OA cartilage damage. We suggest that GLM may usefully treat human OA.

Nox2 Deficiency Reduces Cartilage Damage and Ectopic Bone Formation in an Experimental Model for Osteoarthritis. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10111660. [PMID: 34829531 PMCID: PMC8614813 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10111660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 10/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a destructive disease of the joint with age and obesity being its most important risk factors. Around 50% of OA patients suffer from inflammation of the synovial joint capsule, which is characterized by increased abundance and activation of synovial macrophages that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) via NADPH-oxidase 2 (NOX2). Both ROS and high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are implicated in OA pathophysiology, which may interact to form oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and thereby promote disease. Therefore, targeting NOX2 could be a viable treatment strategy for OA. Collagenase-induced OA (CiOA) was used to compare pathology between wild-type (WT) and Nox2 knockout (Nox2−/−) C57Bl/6 mice. Mice were either fed a standard diet or Western diet (WD) to study a possible interaction between NOX2-derived ROS and LDL. Synovial inflammation, cartilage damage and ectopic bone size were assessed on histology. Extracellular ROS production by macrophages was measured in vitro using the Amplex Red assay. Nox2−/− macrophages produced basal levels of ROS but were unable to increase ROS production in response to the alarmin S100A8 or the phorbol ester PMA. Interestingly, Nox2 deficiency reduced cartilage damage, synovial lining thickness and ectopic bone size, whereas these disease parameters were not affected by WD-feeding. These results suggest that NOX2-derived ROS are involved in CiOA development.

Abstract
Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular tumor among children. Leucine-rich pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR)-motif-containing protein (LRPPRC), a suppressor gene of autophagy, has been proven to play a regulatory role in tumor progression. However, little is known about functional roles and mechanisms of LRPPRC in RB progression. First, we performed a detailed analysis for RB and normal control. The expression of LRPPRC in the RB tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues. Moreover, LRPPRC suppression could repress tumor cell migration, invasion, glycolysis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1-α) pathway activation by mediating autophagy. Furthermore, overexpression of HIF1-α partially reversed the above changes induced by LRPPRC knockdown. The regulation of LRPPRC on tumor metastasis and glycolysis was also validated by a xenograft tumor assay. In summary, LRPPRC could regulate metastasis and glycolysis of RB by mediating autophagy suppression and further activating the ROS/HIF1-α pathway, and LRPPRC could be a promising prognostic biomarker for RB.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic inflammatory disease in the joints. It is one of the leading causes of disability with increasing morbidity, which has become one of the serious clinical issues. Current treatments would only provide temporary relief due to the lack of early diagnosis and effective therapy, and thus the replacement of joints may be needed when the OA deteriorates. Although the intra-articular injection and oral administration of drugs are helpful for OA treatment, they are suffering from systemic toxicity, short retention time in joint, and insufficient bioavailability. Nanomedicine is potential to improve the drug delivery efficiency and targeting ability. In this focused progress review, the particle-based drug loading systems that can achieve targeted and triggered release are summarized. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers that are sensitive to endogenous microenvironmental signals such as reactive oxygen species, enzymes, pH, and temperature, as well as external stimuli such as light for OA therapy are introduced in this review. Furthermore, the nanocarriers associated with targeted therapy and imaging for OA treatment are summarized. The potential applications of nanotherapies for OA treatment are finally discussed.

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
It is currently understood that osteoarthritis (OA) is a major chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disease. While this disease has long been attributed to biomechanical trauma, recent evidence establishes a significant correlation between osteoarthritic progression and unbridled oxidative stress, responsible for prolonged inflammation. Research describes this as a disturbance in the balanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses, generating macromolecular damage and disrupted redox signaling and control. Since ROS pathways are being considered new targets for OA treatment, the development of antioxidant therapy to counteract exacerbated oxidative stress is being continuously researched and enhanced in order to fortify the cellular defenses. Experiments with glutathione and its precursor molecule, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), have shown interesting results in the literature for the management of OA, where they have demonstrated efficacy in reducing cartilage degradation and inflammation markers as well as significant improvements in pain and functional outcomes. Glutathione remains a safe, effective and overall cheap treatment alternative in comparison to other current therapeutic solutions and, for these reasons, it may prove to be comparably superior under particular circumstances. METHODS Literature was reviewed using PubMed and Google Scholar in order to bring up significant evidence and illustrate the defensive mechanisms of antioxidant compounds against oxidative damage in the onset of musculoskeletal diseases. The investigation included a combination of keywords such as: oxidative stress, oxidative damage, inflammation, osteoarthritis, antioxidant, glutathione, n-acetylcysteine, redox, and cell signaling. CONCLUSION Based on the numerous studies included in this literature review, glutathione and its precursor N-acetylcysteine have demonstrated significant protective effects in events of prolonged, exacerbated oxidative stress as seen in chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability in the elderly population and represents a significant public health problem and socioeconomic burden worldwide. However, no disease-modifying therapeutics are currently available for OA due to an insufficient understanding of the pathogenesis of this disability. As a unique cell type in cartilage, chondrocytes are essential for cartilage homeostasis and play a critical role in OA pathogenesis. Mitochondria are important metabolic centers in chondrocytes and contribute to cell survival, and mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is an emerging mechanism for maintaining cell homeostasis. An increasing number of recent studies have demonstrated that dysregulation of the key processes of chondrocyte MQC, which involve mitochondrial redox, biogenesis, dynamics, and mitophagy, is associated with OA pathogenesis and can be regulated by the chondroprotective molecules 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and sirtuin 3 (SIRT3). Moreover, AMPK and SIRT3 regulate each other, and their expression and activity are always consistent in chondrocytes, which suggests the existence of an AMPK-SIRT3 positive feedback loop (PFL). Although the precise mechanisms are not fully elucidated and need further validation, the current literature indicates that this AMPK-SIRT3 PFL regulates OA development and progression, at least partially by mediating chondrocyte MQC. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of AMPK-SIRT3 PFL-mediated chondrocyte MQC in OA pathogenesis might yield new ideas and potential targets for subsequent research on the OA pathomechanism and therapeutics.

Abstract
Background Asthma and osteoarthritis (OA) are medical conditions that inhibit physical activity and adversely affect quality of life. Despite the high prevalence, there are limited studies focusing on the comorbid condition and association between asthma and OA. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of OA co-occurring with asthma and to identify the relevant clinical considerations. Methods Adult participants aged over 40 years who completed questionnaire assessments and spirometry tests were enrolled from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Asthma and OA were defined based on the medical history of a diagnosis made by a doctor. Radiographic severities of OA were measured using the Kellgren–Lawrence grading system. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as a comparative respiratory disease, was diagnosed based on the spirometric results. Results A total of 9344 subjects were enrolled, and the prevalence of asthma and COPD were 4.6% ± 0.3% and 12.0% ± 0.5%, respectively. The prevalence of OA in the asthma group was 31.9% ± 2.8%, which was significantly higher than that in the COPD (17.8% ± 1.5%) or control (16.2% ± 0.6%) groups. OA was more prevalent in patients with asthma after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status (OR 1.65; 95% CI 1.27–2.13). Furthermore, after adjustment of this model for the prescription of OA medication, OA remained independently associated with asthma (OR 1.56; 95% CI 1.10–2.20). Conversely, the relationship of OA medication with asthma was not significant (P = 0.64). This relationship was evident in patients with asthma without airflow limitation measured by spirometry (OR 1.97; 95% CI 1.32–2.93). Moreover, the radiographic severity of knee OA correlated with asthma (OR 1.10; 95% CI 1.0–1.21). Conclusions OA shows a high prevalence in patients with asthma, higher than in patients with COPD or the controls. The comorbid characteristics of these two conditions need to be considered in clinical practice.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is a very common joint disease that often affects middle-aged to elderly people. However, current treatment options for OA are predominantly palliative. Thus, understanding its pathological process and exploring its potential therapeutic approaches are of great importance. Rat chondrocytes were isolated and exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to mimic OA. The effects of H2O2 on ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) expression, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, proliferation, inflammatory cytokine release, and pyroptosis were measured. USP7 was knocked down (KD) or overexpressed to investigate the role of USP7 in OA. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) was used to study the interaction between USP7 and NAD(P)H oxidases (NOX)4 as well as NOX4 ubiquitination. NOX4 inhibitor was applied to study the involvement of NOX4 in USP7-mediated OA development. USP7 inhibitor was given to OA animals to further investigate the role of USP7 in OA in vivo. Moreover, H2O2 treatment significantly increased USP7 expression, enhanced ROS levels, and inhibited proliferation in rat chondrocytes. The overexpression of USP7 enhanced pyroptosis, ROS production, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 levels, and the expression level of NLRP3, GSDMD-N, active caspase-1, pro-caspase-1, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 1, and MMP13, which was abolished by ROS inhibition. The USP7 KD protected rat chondrocytes against H2O2-induced injury. Co-IP results showed that USP7 interacted with NOX4, and USP7 KD enhanced NOX4 ubiquitinylation. The inhibition of NOX4 blocked the pro-OA effect of USP7. Moreover, the USP7 inhibitor given to OA animals suppressed OA in vivo. USP7 inhibited NOX4 ubiquitination for degradation which leads to elevated ROS production. ROS subsequently activates NLPR3 inflammasome, leading to enhanced production of IL-1β and IL-18, GSDMD-N-dependent pyroptosis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Thus, UPS7 contributes to the progression of OA via NOX4/ROS/NLPR3 axis.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on oxidative stress and histological aspects of knee osteoarthritis (OA) induced by sodium monoiodoacetate in Wistar rats. Background: OA is a chronic degenerative disease. In addition to the inflammatory role, other factors, such as redox balance, appear to contribute to changes in the articular cartilage, the main articular structure affected. PBM therapy using light-emitting diode (LED) has been proposed to treat the disease by favoring anti-inflammatory effects and modulating markers of oxidative stress, acting on the degenerative process of cartilage. Methods: Twenty-seven male rats were separated into three groups: control (CG), OA (OAG), and LED treatment (LEDG). In the LED group, PBM (LED 630 nm, 300 mW, 9 J/cm2, 0.3 W/cm2, 30 sec) was applied, starting 24 h after induction, three times per week, for 8 weeks. Cartilage thickness, number of chondrocytes, enzymatic antioxidant defenses [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)], oxidative damage [thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)], and nonenzymatic defense (ferric reducing antioxidant power) were analyzed. Results: The LEDG had higher average cartilage thickness compared with the OAG and had similar thickness to the CG. Also, the number of chondrocytes was similar to the CG. In the oxidative stress analysis, the LEDG presented antioxidant enzymatic activity (SOD and CAT) higher than the CG, and presented concentration of TBARS lower than the CG and OAG groups. Conclusions: PBM therapy was effective in recovering oxidative stress and preserving the articular cartilage aspects in a knee OA animal model.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is the most common degenerative joint disease and causes major pain and disability in adults. It has been reported that mitochondrial dysfunction in chondrocytes is associated with osteoarthritis. Sirtuins are a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent histone deacetylases that have the ability to deacetylate protein targets and play an important role in the regulation of cell physiological and pathological processes. Among sirtuin family members, sirtuin 3, which is mainly located in mitochondria, can exert its deacetylation activity to regulate mitochondrial function, regeneration, and dynamics; these processes are presently recognized to maintain redox homeostasis to prevent oxidative stress in cell metabolism. In this review, we provide present opinions on the effect of mitochondrial dysfunction in osteoarthritis. Furthermore, the potential protective mechanism of SIRT3-mediated mitochondrial homeostasis in the progression of osteoarthritis is discussed.

Abstract
Introduction. Hemoglobin is a protein present in erythrocytes of higher organisms. Its main function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs. Hemoglobin contains Fe2+, catalyzes free radical reactions, and may initiate oxidation reactions by enzymatic and nonenzymatic degradation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of balneophysiotherapy on the hemoglobin level in osteoarthritis patients and to try to assess the association of those metabolic changes with free radical reactions. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted in Przerzeczyn-Zdrój spa resort. It included patients receiving spa treatment over 21-day sessions. The studied group consisted of n = 122 patients with joint and back pain due to osteoarthritis or disc herniation. Their age ranged between 32 and 67 years with a mean age of 53.5. Blood samples were collected before treatment and after 21 days at the spa. Standard tests were used. The results were statistically analyzed using the sign test and the Wilcoxon test. Results. In the study group, we observed a drop in the hemoglobin level following spa treatment. Before treatment, the mean hemoglobin level was 14.1549 g%, and after treatment, it was 14.0008 g%. Conclusions. (1) In the study, we concluded that balneophysiotherapy in osteoarthritis patients resulted in a decrease in the mean hemoglobin level. (2) The decrease in the mean hemoglobin level in osteoarthritis patients treated at the spa resort may indicate an association with free radical reactions. This trial was registered with NCT03405350.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a progressive joint disease characterized by the activation of different molecular mediators, including proinflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, metalloproteinases and nociceptive mediators. Anacardium occidentale L. is a medicinal plant with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study we evaluate the effects of cashew nuts (from Anacardium occidentale L.) oral administration on an experimental model of painful degenerative joint disease. Monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) was intraarticularly injected, and cashew nuts were orally administered three times per week for 21 days, starting the third day after MIA injection. Nociception was evaluated by a Von Frey filament test, and motor function by walking track analysis at 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after osteoarthritis. Histological and biochemical alteration were examined at the end of the experiment. Cashew nuts administration reduced pain-like behavior and showed antioxidant activities, restoring biochemical serum parameters: glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) levels, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and lipid peroxidation. Moreover, cashew nuts ameliorated radiographic and histological alteration, resulting in decreased cartilage degradation, pro-inflammatory cytokines and metalloproteinases levels and mast cells recruitment. Our results demonstrated that the oral assumption of cashew nuts counteracts the inflammatory and oxidative process involved in osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) involves the mechanical and biological deterioration of articular cartilage that occurs following joint injury. PTOA is a growing problem in health care due to the lack of effective therapies combined with an aging population with high activity levels. Recently, acute mitochondrial dysfunction and altered cellular respiration have been associated with cartilage degeneration after injury. This finding is particularly important because recently developed mitoprotective drugs, including SS peptides, can preserve mitochondrial structure and function after acute injury in other tissues. It is not known, however, if cartilage injury induces rapid structural changes in mitochondria, to what degree mitochondrial dysfunction in cartilage depends on the mechanics of injury or the time frame over which such dysfunction develops. Similarly, it is unknown if SS-peptide treatment can preserve mitochondrial structure and function after cartilage injury. Here, we combined fast camera elastography, longitudinal fluorescence assays, and computer vision techniques to track the fates of thousands of individual cells. Our results show that impact induces mechanically dependent mitochondrial depolarization within a few minutes after injury. Electron microscopy revealed that impact causes rapid structural changes in mitochondria that are related to reduced mitochondrial function, namely, fission and loss of cristae structure. We found that SS-peptide treatment prior to impact protects the mitochondrial structure and preserves mitochondrial function at levels comparable with that of unimpacted control samples. Overall, this study reveals the vital role of mitochondria in mediating cartilage's peracute (within minutes) response to traumatic injury and demonstrates mitoprotection as a promising therapeutic strategy for injury-induced cartilage damage.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common disabling joint disease and its pathological process is closely related to oxidative stress. Recent studies have shown that antioxidants allicin, sulforaphane, and lycopene derived from natural ingredients garlic, broccoli, and tomato can reduce the degree of oxidative stress and the expression of inflammatory markers, indicating that theses antioxidants might be helpful for OA treatment. In this study, we investigated the effects of allicin, sulforaphane, and lycopene on H2O2-stimulated human osteochondral samples and osteoarthritic chondrocytes. Our results revealed that allicin, sulforaphane, and lycopene effectively reduced the oxidative stress-induced cell apoptosis, and increased gene expression of antioxidant enzymes. Besides, these natural ingredients-derived antioxidants reduced the expression of inflammatory factors, enhanced the chondrogenic matrix synthesis, and reduced the hypertrophic differentiation of osteoarthritic chondrocytes. These regulations were mainly through the activation of Keap1/Nrf2 pathway. Our findings suggest that these antioxidants might be a potential therapeutic strategy for OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degradation and joint degeneration. The articular cartilage is mainly formed by chondrocytes and a collagen-proteoglycan extracellular matrix that contains high levels of glycosylated proteins. It was reported that the shift from glycoproteins containing α-2,6-linked sialic acids to those that contain α-2,3 was associated with the onset of common types of arthritis. However, the pathophysiology of α-2,3-sialylation in cartilage has not been yet elucidated. We show that cartilage from osteoarthritic patients expresses high levels of the α-2,3-sialylated transmembrane mucin receptor, known as podoplanin (PDPN). Additionally, the Maackia amurensis seed lectin (MASL), that can be utilized to target PDPN, attenuates the inflammatory response mediated by NF-kB activation in primary chondrocytes and protects human cartilage breakdown ex vivo and in an animal model of arthritis. These findings reveal that specific lectins targeting α-2,3-sialylated receptors on chondrocytes might effectively inhibit cartilage breakdown. We also present a computational 3D molecular model for this interaction. These findings provide mechanistic information on how a specific lectin could be used as a novel therapy to treat degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a whole joint disease driven by abnormal biomechanics and attendant cell-derived and tissue-derived factors. The disease is multifactorial and polygenic, and its progression is significantly related to oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Augmented ROS generation can cause the damage of structural biomolecules of the joint and, by acting as intracellular signaling component, ROS are associated with various inflammatory responses. By activating several signaling pathways, ROS have a vital importance in the patho-physiology of OA. This review is focused on the mechanism of ROS which regulate intracellular signaling processes, chondrocyte senescence and apoptosis, extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation, along with synovial inflammation and dysfunction of the subcondral bone, targeting the complex oxidative stress signaling pathways.

Abstract
Antioxidant enzymes are decreased in osteoarthritis (OA) patients, implying the role of oxidative stress in osteoarthritis pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytoprotective effects of delphinidin, a potent antioxidant, in human chondrocytes and the underlying mechanisms. The cytoprotective mechanism induced by delphinidin against oxidative stress (H2O2) in human chondrocytes was investigated. Cell viability and death were evaluated using proapoptotic and antiapoptotic markers such as cleaved caspase-3 (c-caspase-3), cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase N-acetylcysteine (c-PARP), Bcl-XL, and transcription factors associated with redox and inflammation regulation, including nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2). Induction of autophagy was assessed by formation of LC3-II and autophagosome-(LC3 punctate, monodansylcadaverine (MDC) and acridine orange staining) in the presence or absence of an autophagy inhibitor. Treatment with delphinidin itself at concentration below 50 µM for 24 h did not affect viability of chondrocytes. Delphinidin inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced apoptosis by significantly decreasing apoptosis markers such as c-caspase-3 and c-PARP while increasing antiapoptotic marker Bcl-XL and antioxidant response NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways. Delphinidin also activated cytoprotective autophagy to protect chondrocytes during oxidative stresses. Activation of autophagy with autophagy inducer rapamycin also inhibited ROS-induced cell death and decreased proapoptotic proteins but increased antiapoptotic protein Bcl-XL, NF-κB, and Nrf2. Delphinidin can protect chondrocytes against H2O2-induced apoptosis via activation of Nrf2 and NF-κB and protective autophagy. Thus, it can inhibit OA with protection of chondrocytes. Delphinidin can protect chondrocytes against H2O2-induced ROS with maintenance of homeostasis and redox. These results suggest that delphinidin could be used to protect chondrocytes against age-related oxidative stress and other oxidative stresses in the treatment of OA. Thus, delphinidin may play a critical role in preventing the development and progression of OA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In our study we aimed to investigate the mechanism of Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) on regulating chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis via reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the Wnt/βcatenin signaling pathway in osteoarthritis (OA). MATERIAL AND METHODS Osteoarthritis chondrocytes were treated with interleukin 1β (IL-1β) to simulate an inflammatory condition. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot were applied for detecting WIF1 expression in OA chondrocytes. MTT assay and flow cytometry were carried out to analyze the cell proliferation and apoptosis. Content of ROS was detected using flow cytometry, and activity of the Wnt/βcatenin signaling pathway was detected using immunofluorescence, western blot and luciferase reporter assay. Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). RESULTS WIF1 expression in OA chondrocytes was significantly lower than in normal chondrocytes. After WIF1 cDNA transfection, the aberrantly high ROS level in OA chondrocytes was down-regulated, which led to the increase of proliferation and reduction of apoptosis. The Wnt/βcatenin signaling pathway was suppressed by WIF1 overexpression and the secretion of MMPs was therefore reduced. CONCLUSIONS Up-regulation of WIF1 would promote proliferation and suppress apoptosis of OA chondrocytes through eliminating ROS production and reduce secretion of MMPs via blocking the Wnt/βcatenin signaling pathway.

Arthritis Res Ther 2019; 21:300. [PMID: 31870428 PMCID: PMC6929452 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-019-2085-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 159] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2019] [Accepted: 12/06/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) is an inflammatory disease of the joints that causes progressive disability in the elderly. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in OA development; they may activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, thereby inducing the secretion of proinflammatory IL-1β and IL-18, leading to the aggravation of the downstream inflammatory response. Nrf2 is a key transcription factor that regulates the expression of antioxidant enzymes that protect against oxidative stress and tissue damage. We aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of OA development by investigating NLRP3, ASC, Nrf2, and HO-1 expression in synovia and their regulatory networks in OA. METHODS Human total knee replacement samples were subjected to histology and micro-CT analysis to determine the pathological changes in the cartilage and subchondral bone and to assess the expression of inflammation-related markers in the synovial tissue by immunohistochemistry (IHC), qRT-PCR, and Western blot. To investigate these pathological changes in an OA animal model, adult Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to anterior cruciate ligament transection and medial meniscectomy. Articular cartilage and subchondral bone changes and synovial tissue were also determined by the same methods used for the human samples. Finally, SW982 cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an in vitro inflammatory cell model. The correlation between NLRP3 and Nrf2 expression was confirmed by knocking down NLRP3 or Nrf2. RESULTS Cartilage destruction and subchondral bone sclerosis were found in the OA patients and OA model rats. Significantly increased expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Nrf2, and HO-1 were found in the synovial tissue from OA patients. NLRP3, ASC, Nrf2, and HO-1 expression in the synovium was also upregulated in the OA group compared with the sham group. Furthermore, the NLRP3, Nrf2, HO-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 expression in LPS-treated SW982 cells was increased in a dose-dependent manner. As expected, the expression of NLRP3 was upregulated, and the expression of IL-1β and IL-18 was downregulated after Nrf2 silencing. However, knocking down NLRP3 did not affect the expression of Nrf2. CONCLUSIONS ROS-induced oxidative stress may be the main cause of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and subsequent release of downstream factors during OA development. Nrf2/HO-1 signaling could be a key pathway for the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which may contribute to the progression of OA. Herein, we discovered a novel role of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling in the production of NLRP3, which may facilitate the prevention and treatment of OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The successful use of rose hip for the treatment of osteoarthritis is well documented. Several randomized placebo controlled double-blind studies, as mono or combination therapy, have demonstrated treatment efficacy as well as excellent tolerability. PURPOSE This review focuses on the molecular mechanism underlying the clinical effects of rose hip in osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS The database Medline was screened - using the search term "Rosa canina" or "rose hip" - for publications on pharmacological or mechanistic studies with relevance to OA; in addition for findings on pharmacologically active constituents as well as clinical studies. The screening results were complemented by following-up on cited literature. RESULTS In particular, 24 pharmacological studies on Rosa canina or preparations thereof were considered relevant. Potent antioxidant radical scavenging effects are well documented for numerous rose hip constituents besides Vitamin C. Furthermore, anti-inflammatory activities include the reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, reduction of NF-kB signaling, inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes, including COX1/2, 5-LOX and iNOS, reduction of C-reactive protein levels, reduction of chemotaxis and chemoluminescence of PMNs, and an inhibition of pro-inflammatory metalloproteases. CONCLUSION The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Rosa canina match its clinical action - especially considering new findings on the pharmacological disease pattern of OA. The entirety of several compounds including phenolics, terpenoids, galactolipids, carotenoids, fruit acids and fatty oils can be considered responsible for the observed pharmacological and clinical effects. Further research is needed to eludicate how and in which manner single rose hip compounds interact with their molecular pharmacological targets.

Quercetin attenuates oxidative stress-induced apoptosis via SIRT1/AMPK-mediated inhibition of ER stress in rat chondrocytes and prevents the progression of osteoarthritis in a rat model. J Cell Physiol 2019; 234:18192-18205.

Abstract
Apoptosis of chondrocytes are the main initiator of osteoarthritis (OA) and can be explained by oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, thus the pharmacological interventions aimed at inhibiting of these pathways may be a promising approach for the management of OA. Quercetin is a member of the flavonoid family and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in degenerative diseases. However, its effects and potential mechanisms on the pathological process of OA are not very clear. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of quercetin on OA and the underlying mechanisms. The tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-stimulated rat chondrocytes and destabilization of the medial meniscus OA rat model was used to explore the protective effects of quercetin. Our results showed that quercetin treatment can attenuate oxidative stress, ER stress, and associated apoptosis. Moreover, quercetin inhibited ER stress through activating the sirtuin1/adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (SIRT1/AMPK) signaling pathway. The protective effects of quercetin were also observed in OA rat model which is evidenced by abolished cartilage degeneration and decreased chondrocytes apoptosis in the knee joints. Our results suggested that quercetin is a promising treatment for OA.
