Abstract
INTRODUCTION Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent arthritis type and a leading cause of chronic mobility disability. While pain medications provide only symptomatic pain relief; growing evidence suggests pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) is chondroprotective and could have anti-inflammatory effects in knee OA. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of oral PPS in symptomatic knee OA with dyslipidaemia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS MaRVeL is a phase II, single-centre, parallel, superiority trial which will be conducted at Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia. 92 participants (46 per arm) aged 40 and over with painful knee OA and mild to moderate structural change on X-ray (Kellgren and Lawrence grade 2 or 3) will be recruited from the community and randomly allocated to receive two cycles of either oral PPS or placebo for 5 weeks starting at baseline and week 11. Primary outcome will be the 16-week change in overall average knee pain severity measured using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale. Main secondary outcomes include change in knee pain, patient global assessment, physical function, quality of life and other structural changes. A biostatistician blinded to allocation groups will perform the statistical analysis according to the intention-to-treat principle. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol has been approved by the NSLHD Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) (2021/ETH00315). All participants will provide written informed consent online. Study results will be disseminated through conferences, social media and academic publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ACTRN12621000654853); U1111-1265-3750.

Zexieyin formula alleviates atherosclerosis with cognitive impairment: A novel role in the treatment of comorbidities and its underlying mechanisms. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 323:117715. [PMID: 38181934 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCY Zexieyin formula (ZXYF) has been identified to have therapeutic actions of atherosclerosis (AS). It's unknown that whether ZXYF has therapeutic potential of atherosclerosis (AS) with cognitive impairment (CI) and its underlying mechanisms. AIM OF THE STUDY To elucidate therapeutic effect of ZXYF for AS with CI as well as its underlying mechanisms in AS with CI mice model. METHODS AND MATERIALS To establish AS with CI model, we fed ApoE-/- mice with high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks. Oil red O staining (ORO) and Hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) were used to detect aortic plaque area. Morris water maze (MWM) and Y-maze were used to measure cognitive function and cognitive improvement after administration of ZXYF and atorvastatin (ATO). Network pharmacology was used to screen for potential mechanisms for improving cognitive function. Western blot was used to detect expressions of MAPK, Aβ and synaptic proteins in hippocampus. RESULTS HFD caused and accelerated the AS in ApoE-/- mice, while it was easier able to produce CI than normal mice. Administration of ZXYF or ATO for 8 weeks significantly reduced aortic plaque area in ORO and HE tests, and improved cognitive abilities in MWM and Y-maze tests. Network pharmacology results showed that MAPK or synaptic proteins were highly associated with CI. HFD contributed to abnormal expressions of MAPK (pERK, pP38, pJNK), NF-kB, synaptic proteins (PSD95, synapsin1) and β-amyloid (Aβ) in hippocampus, which were all reversed by ZXYF. However, ERK and PSD95 expressions were not reversed by ATO in hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS ZXYF mitigated AS, further alleviating CI by modulating MAPK signaling, relating to synaptic proteins enhancing and Aβ protein decreasing in the hippocampus. This study firstly lit up the new clinical application of ZXYF, which might promote the use of ZXYF in AS and CI patients.

Abstract
Although aging has traditionally been viewed as the most important risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA), an increasing amount of epidemiological evidence has highlighted the association between metabolic abnormalities and OA, particularly in younger individuals. Metabolic abnormalities, such as obesity and type II diabetes, are strongly linked to OA, and they affect both weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing joints, thus suggesting that the pathogenesis of OA is more complicated than the mechanical stress induced by overweight. This review aims to explore the recent advances in research on the relationship between metabolic abnormalities and OA risk, including the impact of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, the potential pathogenesis and targeted therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We explored whether hyperlipidemia or combination of hyperlipidemia and E2 could induce TMJOA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four groups of female rats were treated with normal diet, normal diet with E2, high-fat diet, and high-fat diet with E2 (HFD/E2), respectively, to induce TMJOA till 8 weeks. Another three groups were then used for COX2 inhibitor celecoxib to block the induction of TMJOA. Primary condylar chondrocytes were treated with combination of E2, ox-LDL, and corresponding inhibitors for evaluating expressions of related molecules. RESULTS Condylar cartilage proliferation with plenty of chondrocyte apoptosis and increased staining for LOX1, nuclear NF-κB, IL-1β, and COX2 at 4 weeks and decreased condylar cartilage and increased subchondral bone density at 8 weeks were observed only in the HFD/E2 group. Celecoxib significantly alleviated the cartilage proliferation and apoptosis in the HFD/E2 group. Serum ox-LDL increased in both high-fat diet groups, while serum IL-1β increased only in the HFD/E2 group. Combination of E2 and ox-LDL synergistically induced expressions of LOX1, phosphorylated NF-κB, IL-1β, and COX2, while LOX1 inhibitor blocked the induction of phosphorylated NF-κB, and NF-κB inhibitor the induction of IL-1β, and IL-1β inhibitor the induction of COX2. CONCLUSION Combination of hyperlipidemia and E2-induced TMJOA-like pathological changes through LOX1/NF-κB/IL-1β/COX2-signaling pathway.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative disease of the joints, has one of the highest disability rates worldwide. This study investigates the role of pyroptosis-related genes in osteoarthritis and their expression in different chondrocyte subtypes at the individual cell level. Using OA-related datasets for single-cell RNA sequencing and RNA-seq, the study identified PRDEGs and DEGs and conducted Cox regression analysis to identify independent prognostic factors for OA. CASP6, NOD1, and PYCARD were found to be prognostic factors. Combined Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis with PPI network, a total of 15 hub genes related to pyroptosis were involved in the notch and oxidative phosphorylation pathways, which could serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of OA patients. The study also explored the heterogeneity of chondrocytes between OA and normal samples, identifying 19 single-cell subpopulation marker genes that were significantly different among 7 chondrocyte cell clusters. AGT, CTSD, CYBC, and THYS1 were expressed differentially among different cell subpopulations, which were associated with cartilage development and metabolism. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying OA and could facilitate the development of new therapeutic strategies for this debilitating disease.

Circular RNA circARPC1B functions as a stabilisation enhancer of Vimentin to prevent high cholesterol-induced articular cartilage degeneration. Clin Transl Med 2023; 13:e1415. [PMID: 37740460 PMCID: PMC10517209 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.1415] [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: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating condition, that is, directly associated with cholesterol metabolism. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms of OA remain largely unknown, and the role of cholesterol in this process has not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to investigate the role of a novel circular RNA, circARPC1B in the relationship between cholesterol and OA progression. METHODS We measured total cholesterol (TC) levels in the synovial fluid of patients with or without OA to determine the diagnostic role of cholesterol in OA. The effects of cholesterol were explored in human and mouse chondrocytes in vitro. An in vivo OA model was also established in mice fed a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) to explore the role of cholesterol in OA. RNAseq analysis was used to study the influence of cholesterol on circRNAs in chondrocytes. The role of circARPC1B in the OA development was verified through circARPC1B overexpression and knockdown. Additionally, RNA pulldown assays and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation were used to determine the interaction between circARPC1B and Vimentin. CircARPC1B adeno-associated virus (AAV) was used to determine the role of circARPC1B in cholesterol-induced OA. RESULTS TC levels in synovial fluid of OA patients were found to be elevated and exhibited high sensitivity and specificity as predictors of OA diagnosis. Moreover, elevated cholesterol accelerated OA progression. CircARPC1B was downregulated in chondrocytes treated with cholesterol and played a crucial role in preserving the extracellular matrix (ECM). Mechanistically, circARPC1B is competitively bound to the E3 ligase synoviolin 1 (SYVN1) binding site on Vimentin, inhibiting the proteasomal degradation of Vimentin. Furthermore, circARPC1B AAV infection alleviates Vimentin degradation and OA progression caused by high cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that the cholesterol-circARPC1B-Vimentin axis plays a crucial role in OA progression, and circARPC1B gene therapy has the opportunity to provide a potential therapeutic approach for OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remnant cholesterol is receiving increasing attention because of its association with various diseases. However, there have been no studies on remnant cholesterol levels and depression. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was performed based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2016. Depression was assessed using a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Fasting remnant cholesterol was calculated as the total cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Logistic regression analysis with sampling weights was used to examine the association between remnant cholesterol concentration and depression. RESULTS Among 8,263 adults enrolled in this study (weighted mean age, 45.65 years), 5.88% (weighted percentage) had depression. Compared to the participants without depression, those with depression had higher concentration of remnant cholesterol (weighted mean, 26.13 vs. 23.05, P < 0.001). There was a significant positive relationship between remnant cholesterol concentration and depression and multivariable-adjusted OR with 95% CI was 1.49 (1.02-2.17). Among the subgroup analyses, remnant cholesterol concentration was positively associated with depression among participants less than 60 years (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.09-2.42), male (OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.01-4.05), BMI under 30 (OR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.14-2.96), and those with diabetes (OR, 3.88; 95% CI, 1.43-10.49). CONCLUSIONS Remnant cholesterol concentration positively correlated with depression, suggesting that a focus on remnant cholesterol may be useful in the study of depression.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is associated with low back pain, yet its inherent mechanism remains obscure. Hypercholesteremia was regarded as a risk factor for IDD, and our previous study showed that cholesterol accumulation could elicit matrix degradation in the nucleus pulposus (NP). MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) was substantiated as protective in IDD, but its role in cholesterol-induced IDD was unclear. The present study investigated whether miR-155 could mediate cholesterol-related IDD and its internal mechanisms. In vivo experiments revealed high-fat diet-induced hypercholesteremia in wild-type (WT) mice along with the occurrence of IDD, whereas Rm155LG transgenic mice showed milder NP degeneration, as evidenced by Safranin O-fast green (SF) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Meanwhile, IHC showed that NLRP3 and Bax expression was also suppressed in Rm155LG mice. In vitro studies using Western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF) confirmed that the miR-155 mimic could alleviate cholesterol-induced matrix degradation, apoptosis and pyroptosis in NP. Moreover, RORα was upregulated in severely degenerated NP compared to mild IDD. It was also noted that RORα was suppressed in Rm155LG mice. In this study, we demonstrated that miR-155 could target RORα and that inhibition of RORα could prevent cholesterol-induced matrix degradation, apoptosis, and pyroptosis in NP, indicating the protective effect of miR-155 in cholesterol-induced IDD by targeting RORα.

Intensive cholesterol-lowering treatment reduces synovial inflammation during early collagenase-induced osteoarthritis, but not pathology at end-stage disease in female dyslipidemic E3L.CETP mice. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2023:S1063-4584(23)00703-3. [PMID: 36898656 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2023.01.577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and osteoarthritis (OA) development has become increasingly recognized. In this context, the exact role of cholesterol and cholesterol-lowering therapies in OA development has remained elusive. Recently, we did not observe beneficial effects of intensive cholesterol-lowering treatments on spontaneous OA development in E3L.CETP mice. We postulated that in the presence of local inflammation caused by a joint lesion, cholesterol-lowering therapies may ameliorate OA pathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female ApoE3∗Leiden.CETP mice were fed a cholesterol-supplemented Western type diet. After 3 weeks, half of the mice received intensive cholesterol-lowering treatment consisting of atorvastatin and the anti-PCSK9 antibody alirocumab. Three weeks after the start of the treatment, OA was induced via intra-articular injections of collagenase. Serum levels of cholesterol and triglycerides were monitored throughout the study. Knee joints were analyzed for synovial inflammation, cartilage degeneration, subchondral bone sclerosis and ectopic bone formation using histology. Inflammatory cytokines were determined in serum and synovial washouts. RESULTS Cholesterol-lowering treatment strongly reduced serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Mice receiving cholesterol-lowering treatment showed a significant reduction in synovial inflammation (P = 0.008, WTD: 95% CI: 1.4- 2.3; WTD + AA: 95% CI: 0.8- 1.5) and synovial lining thickness (WTD: 95% CI: 3.0-4.6, WTD + AA: 95% CI: 2.1-3.2) during early-stage collagenase-induced OA. Serum levels of S100A8/A9, MCP-1 and KC were significantly reduced after cholesterol-lowering treatment (P = 0.0005, 95% CI: -46.0 to -12.0; P = 2.8 × 10-10, 95% CI: -398.3 to -152.1; P = 2.1 × 10-9, -66.8 to -30.4, respectively). However, this reduction did not reduce OA pathology, determined by ectopic bone formation, subchondral bone sclerosis and cartilage damage at end-stage disease. CONCLUSION This study shows that intensive cholesterol-lowering treatment reduces joint inflammation after induction of collagenase-induced OA, but this did not reduce end stage pathology in female mice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Both systemic inflammation and dyslipidemia contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) development and have been suggested as a possible link between metabolic disease and OA development. Recently, the CANTOS trial showed a reduction in knee and hip replacements after inhibition of IL-1β in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease and high inflammatory risk. In this light, we investigated whether inhibition of IL-1β combined with cholesterol-lowering therapies can reduce OA development in dyslipidemic APOE∗3Leiden mice under pro-inflammatory dietary conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female ApoE3∗Leiden mice were fed a cholesterol-supplemented Western-Type diet (WTD) for 38 weeks. After 14 weeks, cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory treatments were started. Treatments included atorvastatin alone or with an anti-IL1β antibody, and atorvastatin combined with proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor alirocumab without or with the anti-IL1β antibody. Knee joints were analyzed for cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation and ectopic bone formation using histology at end point. RESULTS Cholesterol-lowering treatment successfully decreased systemic inflammation in dyslipidemic mice, which was not further affected by inhibition of IL-1β. Synovial thickening and cartilage degeneration were significantly decreased in mice that received cholesterol-lowering treatment combined with inhibition of IL-1β (P < 0.01, P < 0.05, respectively) compared to mice fed a WTD alone. Ectopic bone formation was comparable between all groups. CONCLUSION These results indicate that inhibition of IL-1β combined with cholesterol-lowering therapy diminishes synovial thickening and cartilage degeneration in mice and may imply that this combination therapy could be beneficial in patients with metabolic inflammation.

Cholesterol-induced LRP3 downregulation promotes cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis by targeting Syndecan-4. Nat Commun 2022; 13:7139.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that osteoarthritis is associated with high cholesterol levels in some osteoarthritis patients. However, the specific mechanism under this metabolic osteoarthritis phenotype remains unclear. We find that cholesterol metabolism-related gene, LRP3 (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 3) is significantly reduced in high-cholesterol diet mouse's cartilage. By using Lrp3-/- mice in vivo and LRP3 lentiviral-transduced chondrocytes in vitro, we identify that LRP3 positively regulate chondrocyte extracellular matrix metabolism, and its deficiency aggravate the degeneration of cartilage. Regardless of diet, LRP3 overexpression in cartilage attenuate anterior cruciate ligament transection induced osteoarthritis progression in rats and Lrp3 knockout-induced osteoarthritis progression in mice. LRP3 knockdown upregulate syndecan-4 by activating the Ras signaling pathway. We identify syndecan-4 as a downstream molecular target of LRP3 in osteoarthritis pathogenesis. These findings suggest that cholesterol-LRP3- syndecan-4 axis plays critical roles in osteoarthritis development, and LRP3 gene therapy may provide a therapeutic regimen for osteoarthritis treatment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease and a leading cause of disability in older adults. With an increasing population ageing and obesity, OA is becoming even more prevalent than it was in previous decades. Evidence indicates that OA is caused by the breakdown of joint tissues from mechanical loading and inflammation, but the deeper underlying mechanism of OA pathogenesis remains unclear, hindering efforts to prevent and treat this disease. Pharmacological treatments are mostly related to relieving symptoms, and there is no drug for radical cure. However, compelling evidence suggests that regular practice of resistance exercise may prevent and control the development of several musculoskeletal chronic diseases including OA, which may result in improved quality of life of the patients. In this review, we introduced the current understanding of the mechanism and clinical treatments of OA pathogenesis. We also reviewed the recent study of physical therapy in the treatment of skeletal system disorders, especially in OA. Finally, we discuss the present challenges and promising advantages of physical therapy in OA treatment.

Abstract
Background Cholesterol can trigger degenerative processes in the chondrocytes. The internal layer of the hip labral consists of cartilage-specific type II collagen-positive fibrocartilage. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes after arthroscopy labral repair in FAIS patients with preoperative hyperlipidemia to a control group with no hyperlipidemia. Methods Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed for FAIS patients who had arthroscopy 2019. Patients with hyperlipidemia were 1:1 propensity-score matched to patients without hyperlipidemia. Patient-reported outcomes (HOS-ADL, iHOT-12, mHHS), VAS scores, radiographic measures, performed procedures, complications, and revision surgery were compared and analyzed for both groups. Results A total of 41 patients with hyperlipidemia and 41 patients without hyperlipidemia were found using propensity-score matching. When compared to preoperative levels, both groups demonstrated significant improvements in PROs and VAS scores at the final follow-up. Besides, there were no significant differences in preoperative scores and final outcome scores between the groups. Besides, there were no other differences in revision rate and the rate of meeting the PASS and MCID between the study and the control groups. Conclusion It was demonstrated in this study that FAIS patients with hyperlipidemia can expect to experience similar good short-term patient-reported outcomes as compared with patients without hyperlipidemia. Level of evidence Case-series study; Level of Evidence: Level III.

Abstract
Synovial macrophages are key mediators of OA pathology, and skewing of macrophage phenotype in favour of an M1-like phenotype is thought to underlie the chronicity of synovial inflammation in OA. Components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), such as dyslipidaemia, can affect macrophage phenotype and function, which could explain the link between MetS and OA development. Recently published studies have provided novel insights into the different origins and heterogeneity of synovial macrophages. Considering these findings, we propose an important role for monocyte-derived macrophages in particular, as opposed to yolk-sac derived residential macrophages, in causing a pro-inflammatory phenotype shift. We will further explain how this can start even prior to synovial infiltration; in the circulation, monocytes can be trained by metabolic factors such as low-density lipoprotein to become extra responsive to chemokines and damage-associated molecular patterns. The concept of innate immune training has been widely studied and implicated in atherosclerosis pathology, but its involvement in OA remains uncharted territory. Finally, we evaluate the implications of these insights for targeted therapy directed to macrophages and metabolic factors.

Cholesterol Induces Pyroptosis and Matrix Degradation via mSREBP1-Driven Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 9:803132.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is closely associated with low back pain, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Cholesterol is an essential nutrient in mammalian cells. Alterations in cholesterol levels lead to impairments in cell physiology, such as cell proliferation and signal transduction. Previous clinical studies demonstrated that hypercholesterolemia could be a potential risk factor for IDD, but how cholesterol induces IDD remains unknown. The current study aimed to explore the regulatory role of cholesterol in IDD development and the potential underlying mechanisms. It was found that different forms of cholesterol levels were elevated in degenerative nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues in both humans and Sprague–Dawley rats. Rats fed a high cholesterol diet (HCD) exhibited degenerative features in the lumbar intervertebral disc compared with those fed a standard diet. Interestingly, this effect could be abolished by cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin. In NP cells treated with TNF-α and IL-1β, a significantly higher level of cholesterol was observed. These results suggested a pivotal role of cholesterol in the progression of IDD. We also observed accelerated pyroptosis in NP cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation in the rat NP cells treated with exogenous cholesterol. We further demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum stress was responsible for cholesterol-induced pyroptosis and ECM degradation. Moreover, RNA-seq analysis revealed that the mature form of SREBP1 (mSREBP1), an important regulator of lipid metabolism, is involved in regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress in knockdown experiments. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that cholesterol could induce pyroptosis in NP cells and ECM degradation by activating endoplasmic reticulum stress through stimulating mSREBP1 in IDD.

Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate the effects of blood lipids and lipid-lowering agents on osteoarthritis (OA) risk. Materials and methods We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to estimate the causal effect of blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels on knee and hip OA. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected from large genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of individuals of European ancestry as genetic instruments for blood lipid levels. The associations of selected genetic instruments with knee and hip OA were estimated in a recent GWAS of the UK Biobank and arcOGEN datasets. Univariate and multivariate MR analyses were performed to detect and adjust for potential pleiotropy. Furthermore, genetic instruments in HMGCR, NPC1L1, and PCSK9 regions were used to mimic LDL-C-lowering effects of statin, ezetimibe, and evolocumab, respectively. Results Genetically determined LDL-C increments led to reduced risks of both knee OA (OR = 0.91 per 1-SD increment, 95% CI: 0.86-0.95, P = 6.3 × 10-5) and hip OA (OR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.85-0.99, P = 0.027). Multivariate MR analysis proved that the effect was independent of HDL-C, TG, and body mass index. TG increment was associated with reduced risks of hip OA in the univariate MR analysis; however, this was not supported by the multivariate MR analysis. Genetically proxied LDL-C-lowering effects of statins are related to increased risks of knee OA but not hip OA. Conclusions The findings suggested that LDL-C increments have independent protective effects on both knee and hip OA. LDL-C-lowering effects of statins may increase the risk of knee OA.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Several traditional risk factors of atherosclerosis such as age, obesity, and altered lipid metabolism are shared with osteoarthritis (OA). Metabolic abnormalities and atheromatous vascular disease are linked with systemic inflammation and progression of OA. Hence, treatment of OA with statins is expected to improve metabolic abnormalities and prevent OA progression. Many studies which have addressed this issue found inconsistent results. This review aims to elucidate the effect of statins in OA by summarizing the existing data. Methods: Potential studies in English language published in Medline/PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar since 2000 were searched by using keywords such as osteoarthritis, statins, progression, treatment, prevalence, synovitis, pain. Fourteen papers were found to be relevant and were summarised. Results: Data regarding symptomatic effect of statins in OA are scarce and the results varied from no effect to a small improvement or even increased risk of pain in knee OA. However, most studies on the incidence and progression of OA found a significant decreased risk of incident OA, as well as reduced risk of radiographic progression in statin users vs. non-users. Factors such as patient adherence, duration of treatment, and higher cumulative statin doses were associated with greater efficacy. Conclusion: Existing data indicate a preventing effect of statin therapy on OA progression. However, unless a formal meta-analysis with weight analysis is made, a conclusion cannot be drawn.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolic disturbance is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been identified as a risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis. In this study, we sought to determine the effects of prebiotic fiber supplementation, aerobic exercise, and the combination of the 2 interventions, on the progression of knee osteoarthritis in a high-fat/high-sucrose diet-induced rat model of metabolic disturbance. DESIGN Twelve-week-old male CD-Sprague-Dawley rats were either fed a standard chow diet, or a high-fat/high-sucrose diet. After 12 weeks on diets, rats consuming the high-fat/high-sucrose diet were randomized into 4 subgroups: a sedentary, an aerobic exercise, a prebiotic fiber supplementation, and an aerobic exercise combined with prebiotic fiber supplementation group. The aerobic exercise intervention consisted of a progressive treadmill training program for 12 weeks, while the prebiotic fiber was added to the high-fat/high-sucrose diet at a dose of 10% by weight for 12 weeks. Outcome measures included knee joint damage, body mass, percent body fat, bone mineral density, insulin sensitivity, and serum lipid profile. RESULTS Aerobic exercise, or the combination of prebiotic fiber and aerobic exercise, improved select markers of metabolic disturbance, but not knee joint damage. However, these results need to be considered in view of the fact that the chow-fed rats had similar knee OA-like damage as the high-fat/high-sucrose-fed rats. CONCLUSION Exercise or prebiotics did not increase joint damage and might be good strategies for populations with metabolic knee osteoarthritis to alleviate other health-related problems, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
Cholesterol homeostasis plays a significant role in skeletal development and the dysregulation of cholesterol-related mechanism has been shown to be involved in the development of cartilage diseases including osteoarthritis (OA). Epidemiological studies have shown an association between elevated serum cholesterol levels and OA. Furthermore, abnormal lipid accumulation in chondrocytes as a result of abnormal regulation of cholesterol homeostasis has been demonstrated to be involved in the development of OA. Although, many in vivo and in vitro studies support the connection between cholesterol and cartilage degradation, the mechanisms underlying the complex interactions between lipid metabolism, especially HDL cholesterol metabolism, and OA remain unclear. The current review aims to address this problem and focuses on key molecular players of the HDL metabolism pathway and their role in ΟΑ pathogenesis. Understanding the complexity of biological processes implicated in OA pathogenesis, such as cholesterol metabolism, may lead to new targets for drug therapy of OA patients.

Abstract
High levels of cholesterol are generally considered to be associated with atherosclerosis. In the past two decades, however, a number of studies have shown that excess cholesterol accumulation in various tissues and organs plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases. Here, we summarize the effects of excess cholesterol on disease pathogenesis, including liver diseases, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, pituitary-thyroid axis dysfunction, immune disorders, and COVID-19, while proposing that excess cholesterol-induced toxicity is ubiquitous. We believe this concept will help broaden the appreciation of the toxic effect of excess cholesterol, and thus potentially expand the therapeutic use of cholesterol-lowering medications.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is one of the main causes of lower back pain (LBP). It results from an imbalance between the degradation and synthesis of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. Atorvastatin, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, plays a vital role in many diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and osteoarthritis. However, the effect of atorvastatin on IDD is unclear. Herein, we demonstrated that atorvastatin affects matrix degradation induced by TNF-α and demonstrated the mechanism by which TNF-α modulates matrix metabolism in rat NP cells. Real-time PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect the mRNA and protein expression of related genes. mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenovirus plasmid transfection and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to detect cell autophagy. NLRP3 inhibitor and lentiviral vectors containing shRNA-NLRP3 were used to show the effect of NLRP3 on autophagic flux and the NF-κB signaling pathway. The results revealed that atorvastatin might suppress matrix degradation induced by TNF-α by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activity and inducing autophagic flux. Moreover, atorvastatin suppressed NF-κB signaling induced by TNF-α. NF-κB signaling inhibition suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activity, and NLRP3 inhibition suppressed NF-κB signaling activation induced by TNF-α. NLRP3 inhibition or NLRP3 knockdown induced autophagic flux in the presence of TNF-α. Overall, the present study demonstrated that atorvastatin might suppress matrix degradation induced by TNF-α and further revealed the crosstalk among NLRP3 inflammasome activity, autophagy and NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of chronic oral administration of mineral oil, versus corn oil as control, on intestinal permeability, inflammatory markers, and plasma lipids in APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice. Mice received mineral oil or corn oil 15 or 30 μL/mouse/day for 16 weeks (15 mice/group). Intestinal permeability was increased with mineral versus corn oil 30 µL/day, shown by increased mean plasma FITC-dextran concentrations 2 h post-administration (11 weeks: 1.5 versus 1.1 μg/ml, p = 0.02; 15 weeks: 1.7 versus 1.3 μg/ml, p = 0.08). Mean plasma lipopolysaccharide-binding protein levels were raised with mineral versus corn oil 30 µL/day (12 weeks: 5.8 versus 4.4 μg/ml, p = 0.03; 16 weeks: 5.8 versus 4.5 μg/ml, p = 0.09), indicating increased intestinal bacterial endotoxin absorption and potential pro-inflammatory effects. Plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were decreased with mineral oil, without affecting liver lipids among treated groups. Fecal neutral sterol measurements indicated increased fecal cholesterol excretion with mineral oil 30 µL/day (+16%; p = 0.04). Chronic oral administration of mineral oil in APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice increased intestinal permeability, with potential pro-inflammatory effects, and decreased plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Our findings may raise concerns about the use of mineral oil as a placebo in clinical studies.

Novel high-intensive cholesterol-lowering therapies do not ameliorate knee OA development in humanized dyslipidemic mice. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2021; 29:1314-1323. [PMID: 33722697 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2021.02.570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 02/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE High systemic cholesterol levels have been associated with osteoarthritis (OA) development. Therefore, cholesterol lowering by statins has been suggested as a potential treatment for OA. We investigated whether therapeutic high-intensive cholesterol-lowering attenuated OA development in dyslipidemic APOE∗3Leiden.CETP mice. METHODS Female mice (n = 13-16 per group) were fed a Western-type diet (WTD) for 38 weeks. After 13 weeks, mice were divided into a baseline group and five groups receiving WTD alone or with treatment: atorvastatin alone, combined with PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab and/or ANGPTL3 inhibitor evinacumab. Knee joints were analysed for cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation and ectopic bone formation using histology. Aggrecanase activity in articular cartilage and synovial S100A8 expression were determined as markers of cartilage degradation/regeneration and inflammation. RESULTS Cartilage degradation and active repair were significantly increased in WTD-fed mice, but cholesterol-lowering strategies did not ameliorate cartilage destruction. This was supported by comparable aggrecanase activity and S100A8 expression in all treatment groups. Ectopic bone formation was comparable between groups and independent of cholesterol levels. CONCLUSIONS Intensive therapeutic cholesterol lowering per se did not attenuate progression of cartilage degradation in dyslipidemic APOE∗3Leiden.CETP mice, with minor joint inflammation. We propose that inflammation is a key feature in the disease and therapeutic cholesterol-lowering strategies may still be promising for OA patients presenting both dyslipidemia and inflammation.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degenerative disease (IDD) is the most common degenerative spine disease, which leads to chronic low back pain and symptoms in the lower extremities. In this study, we found that RORα, a member of the retinoid-related orphan receptor family, is significantly elevated in nucleus pulposus tissue in IDD patients. The elevation of RORα is associated with increased apoptosis of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. Therefore, we applicated a well-established inverse agonist of RORα, SR3335, to investigate its role in regulating NP cell metabolism and apoptosis. To further investigate the mechanism that SR3335 regulates the pathogenesis of IDD in vitro, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) stimulation was used in human NP cells to mimic the hostile environment that leads to degeneration. We found that SR3335 treatment reversed the trend of increased apoptosis in NP cells induced by TNF-α treatment. Next, TNF-α treatment upregulated the expression of type II collagen and aggrecan and downregulated MMP13 (matrix-degrading enzyme matrix metalloproteinase 13) and ADAMTS4 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4). However, these effects were reversed after SR3335 treatment. Furthermore, we find that SR3335 mediated the effect in NP cells by regulating the YAP signaling pathway, especially by affecting the phosphorylation state of YAP. In conclusion, the reduction of matrix degradation enzymes and apoptosis upon SR3335 treatment suggests that SR3335 is a promising drug in reversing the deleterious microenvironment in IDD patients.

Abstract
The homeostasis of the vertebrate body depends on anabolic and catabolic activities that are closely linked the inside and outside of the cell. Lipid metabolism plays an essential role in these metabolic activities. Although a large amount of evidence shows that normal lipid metabolism guarantees the conventional physiological activities of organs in the vertebrate body and that abnormal lipid metabolism plays an important role in the occurrence and deterioration of cardiovascular-related diseases, such as obesity, atherosclerosis, and type II diabetes, little is known about the role of lipid metabolism in cartilage and its diseases. This review aims to summarize the latest advances about the function of lipid metabolism in cartilage and its diseases including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cartilage tumors. With the gradual in-depth understanding of lipid metabolism in cartilage, treatment methods could be explored to focus on this metabolic process in various cartilage diseases.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by low-grade inflammation and high levels of clinical heterogeneity. Aberrant chondrocyte metabolism is a response to changes in the inflammatory microenvironment and may play a key role in cartilage degeneration and OA progression. Under conditions of environmental stress, chondrocytes tend to adapt their metabolism to microenvironmental changes by shifting from one metabolic pathway to another, for example from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. Similar changes occur in other joint cells, including synoviocytes. Switching between these pathways is implicated in metabolic alterations that involve mitochondrial dysfunction, enhanced anaerobic glycolysis, and altered lipid and amino acid metabolism. The shift between oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis is mainly regulated by the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways. Chondrocyte metabolic changes are likely to be a feature of different OA phenotypes. Determining the role of chondrocyte metabolism in OA has revealed key features of disease pathogenesis. Future research should place greater emphasis on immunometabolism and altered metabolic pathways as a means to understand the pathophysiology of age-related OA. This knowledge will advance the development of new drugs against therapeutic targets of metabolic significance.

However, epidemiological studies showed contradictory results, and it is not clear how hypercholesterolemia itself, or oxidized LDL (oxLDL)-a pathological molecule potentially involved in this relationship-could be affecting OA. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of hypercholesterolemia induced by high-fat diet (HFD) in cartilage from OA rabbits, and how oxLDL affect human chondrocyte inflammatory and catabolic responses. Design: New Zealand rabbits were fed with HFD for 18 weeks. On week 6, OA was surgically induced. At the end of the study, cartilage damage and IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, MMP-13, and COX-2 expression in articular cartilage were evaluated. In addition, cultured human OA articular chondrocytes were treated with oxLDL at concentrations equivalent to those expected in synovial fluid from HFD rabbits, in the presence of IL-1β and TNFα. The effect of oxLDL on cell viability, nitric oxide production and catabolic and pro-inflammatory gene expression was evaluated. Results: HFD intake did not modify cartilage structure or pro-inflammatory and catabolic gene expression and protein presence, both in healthy and OA animals. OxLDL did not affect human chondrocyte viability, ADAMTS5 and liver X receptor (LXR) α gene expression, but decreased the induction of IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, MMP-13, iNOS, and COX-2 gene expression and MMP-13 and COX-2 protein presence, evoked by cytokines. Conclusions: Our data suggest that cholesterol intake per se may not be deleterious for articular cartilage. Instead, cholesterol de novo synthesis and altered cholesterol metabolism could be involved in the associations observed in human disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine whether statin use could reduce the risk of the incidence or progression of osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched for observational studies on the association between statin use and OA. ORs and 95% CIs were directly retrieved or calculated. The Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale was used for study quality assessment. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias were conducted using Stata software. RESULTS A total of 11 studies (679807 participants) were identified from the systematic literature search. No significant association between statin use and incidence (OR = 1.010; 95% CI: 0.968 to 1.055; P = 0.638) or progression (OR = 1.076; 95% CI: 0.824 to 1.405; P = 0.589) of OA was found in our meta-analysis. The meta-analysis according to the symptomatic or radiological OA also found no significant association between statin use and OA. The subgroup analysis showed that atorvastatin (OR = 0.953; 95% CI: 0.911 to 0.998; P = 0.041) and rosuvastatin (OR = 1.180; 95% CI: 1.122 to 1.241; P < 0.0001) had opposite effects on OA. The results of the analysis according to the joint site, interval, and statin dose were all not significant. CONCLUSIONS Statin use may not be associated with a lower risk of incidence and progression of OA, regardless of joint site. The opposite effects of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin were detected in OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is caused by cartilage dysplasia and has fetal origin. Prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) induced chondrodysplasia in fetal rats by inhibiting transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling. This study aimed to determine the effect of dexamethasone on fetal cartilage development and illustrate the underlying molecular mechanism. METHODS Dexamethasone (0.2 mg/kg.d) was injected subcutaneously every morning in pregnant rats from gestational day (GD) 9 to GD21. Harvested fetal femurs and tibias at GD21 for immunofluorescence and gene expression analysis. Fetal chondrocytes were treated with dexamethasone (100, 250 and 500 nM), endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) inhibitor, and ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) antagonist for subsequent analyses. RESULTS In vivo, prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) decreased the total length of the fetal cartilage, the proportion of the proliferation area and the cell density and matrix content in fetal articular cartilage. Moreover, PDE increased RYR1 expression and intracellular calcium levels and elevated the expression of ERS-related genes, while downregulated the TGFβ signaling pathway and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis in fetal chondrocytes. In vitro, we verified dexamethasone significantly decreased ECM synthesis through activating RYR 1 mediated-ERS. CONCLUSIONS PDE inhibited TGFβ signaling pathway and matrix synthesis through RYR1 / intracellular calcium mediated ERS, which ultimately led to fetal dysplasia. This study confirmed the molecular mechanism of ERS involved in the developmental toxicity of dexamethasone and suggested that RYR1 may be an early intervention target for fetal-derived adult osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Inflammatory changes are observed in affected joints of osteoarthritis (OA) patients and are thought to be involved in the pathology that develops along OA progression. This narrative review provides an overview of the various cell types that are present in the joint during OA and which alarmins, cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and other mediators they produce. Moreover, the involvement of more systemic processes like inflammaging and its associated cellular senescence in the context of OA are discussed.

Abstract
The hedgehog signalling pathway is one of the key regulators of metazoan development, and it plays an important role in the regulation of a variety of developmental and physiological processes. But it is aberrantly activated in many human diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, we have reviewed the association of hedgehog signalling pathway in the development and progression of OA and evaluated the efforts to target this pathway for the prevention of OA. Usually in OA, activation of hedgehog induces up-regulation of the expression of hypertrophic markers, including type X collagen, increases production of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2, several matrix-degrading enzymes including matrix metalloproteinase and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs in human knee joint cartilage leading to cartilage degeneration, and thus contributes in OA. Targeting hedgehog signalling might be a viable strategy to prevent or treat OA. Chemical inhibitors of hedgehog signalling is promising, but they cause severe side effects. Knockdown of HH gene is not an option for OA treatment in humans because it is not possible to delete HH in larger animals. Efficient knockdown of HH achieved by local delivery of small interfering RNA in future studies utilizing large animal OA models might be a more efficient approach for the prevention of OA. However, it remains a major problem to develop one single scaffold due to the different physiological functions of cartilage and subchondral bones possess. More studies are necessary to identify selective inhibitors for efficiently targeting the hedgehog pathway in clinical conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, there have not been any epidemiologic studies that have evaluated the association between swimming over a lifetime and knee health. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to evaluate the relationship of a history of swimming with knee pain, radiographic knee OA (ROA), and symptomatic knee OA (SOA). DESIGN Cross-sectional retrospective study. SETTING Four academic centers in the United States. PARTICIPANTS Respondents to the historical physical activity survey within the Osteoarthritis Initiative with knee radiographs and symptom assessments. METHODS In this retrospective study nested within the Osteoarthritis Initiative, researchers performed logistic regression with the predictor being swimming over a lifetime and over particular age ranges. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Person-based definitions of frequent knee pain, ROA, and SOA. RESULTS A total of 2637 participants were included, with a mean age of 64.3 years (SD 8.9), body mass index of 28.4 kg/m2 (SD 4.9), and 44.2% male. Over a lifetime, the adjusted prevalence measures for frequent knee pain, ROA, and SOA for any versus no history of swimming were 36.4% (33.4% - 39.5%) v. 39.9% (37.4% - 42.5%), 54.3% (51.0% - 57.6%) v. 61.1% (58.4% - 63.7%), and 21.9% (19.4% - 24.7%) v. 27.0% (24.7% - 29.4%) respectively. CONCLUSIONS This is the first epidemiologic study to indicate that swimming is potentially beneficial toward knee health, particularly when performed earlier in life (before age 35). Future prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and to better scrutinize the associations in older age groups.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the causal role of cardiometabolic risk factors in osteoarthritis (OA) using associated genetic variants. Methods We studied 27,691 adults from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) and replicated novel findings among 376,435 adults from the UK Biobank. Trait‐specific polygenic risk scores for low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) and high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, and systolic blood pressure (BP) were used to test the associations of genetically predicted elevations in each trait with incident OA diagnosis (n = 3,559), OA joint replacement (n = 2,780), or both (total OA; n = 4,226) in Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses in the MDCS, and with self‐reported and/or hospital‐diagnosed OA (n = 65,213) in the UK Biobank. Multivariable MR, MR‐Egger, and weighted median MR were used to adjust for potential pleiotropic biases. Results In the MDCS, genetically predicted elevation in LDL cholesterol level was associated with a lower risk of OA diagnosis (odds ratio [OR] 0.83 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.73–0.95] per 1SD increase) and total OA (OR 0.87 [95% CI 0.78–0.98]), which was supported by multivariable MR for OA diagnosis (OR 0.84 [95% CI 0.75–0.95]) and total OA (0.87 [95% CI 0.78–0.97]), and by conventional 2‐sample MR for OA diagnosis (OR 0.86 [95% CI 0.75–0.98]). MR‐Egger indicated no pleiotropic bias. Genetically predicted elevation in BMI was associated with an increased risk of OA diagnosis (OR 1.65 [95% CI 1.14–2.41]), while MR‐Egger indicated pleiotropic bias and a larger association with OA diagnosis (OR 3.25 [1.26–8.39]), OA joint replacement (OR 3.81 [95% CI 1.39–10.4]), and total OA (OR 3.41 [95% CI 1.43–8.15]). No associations were observed between genetically predicted HDL cholesterol level, triglyceride level, FPG level, or systolic BP and OA outcomes. The associations with LDL cholesterol levels were replicated in the UK Biobank (OR 0.95 [95% CI 0.93–0.98]). Conclusion Our MR study provides evidence of a causal role of lower LDL cholesterol level and higher BMI in OA.

Abstract
Obesity, and associated metabolic syndrome, have been identified as primary risk factors for the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA), representing nearly 60% of the OA patient population. In this study, we sought to determine the effects of prebiotic fibre supplementation, aerobic exercise, and the combination of the two interventions, on the development of metabolic knee osteoarthritis in a high-fat/high-sucrose (HFS) diet-induced rat model of obesity. Twelve-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into five groups: a non-exercising control group fed a standard chow diet, a non-exercising group fed a HFS diet, a non-exercising group fed a HFS diet combined with prebiotic fibre supplement, an exercise group fed a HFS diet, and an exercise group fed a HFS diet combined with prebiotic fibre supplement. Outcome measures included knee joint damage, percent body fat, insulin sensitivity, serum lipid profile, serum endotoxin, serum and synovial fluid cytokines and adipokines, and cecal microbiota. Prebiotic fibre supplementation, aerobic exercise, and the combination of the two interventions completely prevented knee joint damage that is otherwise observed in this rat model of obesity. Prevention of knee damage was associated with a normalization of insulin resistance, leptin levels, dyslipidemia, gut microbiota, and endotoxemia in the HFS-fed rats.

Abstract
The high glucose concentration is able to disturb chondrocyte homeostasis and contribute to OA pathogenesis. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of atorvastatin (ATO) on high glucose (HG)-mediated oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis in C28I2 human chondrocytes. The protective effect of ATO (0.01 and 0.1 μM) on HG (75 mM)-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis was evaluated in C28I2 cells. The effects of ATO on HG-induced intracellular ROS production and lipid peroxidation were detected and the protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, total and phosphorylated JNK and P38 MAPKs were analyzed by Western blotting. The mRNA expression levels of antioxidant enzymes including heme oxygenase-1, NAD(P)H quinine oxidoreductase, glutathione S-transferase-P1, catalase, superoxide dismutase-1, glutathione peroxidase-1, -3, -4 were evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Pretreatment with ATO remarkably increased the gene expression levels of antioxidant enzymes and reduced HG-induced elevation of ROS, lipid peroxidation, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, caspase-3 activation, and JNK and P38 phosphorylation. Atorvastatin could considerably reduce HG-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis through increasing the expression of antioxidant enzymes. Atorvastatin may be considered as a promising agent to prevent high glucose-induced cartilage degradation in OA patients.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome-associated osteoarthritis (Met-OA) is a clinical phenotype defined by the role of obesity and metabolic syndrome as risk factors and by chronic low-grade inflammation. Obesity is an established risk factor for osteoarthritis not only at the knee, but also at the hands. Metabolic syndrome is also a risk factor for osteoarthritis, and a cumulative effect of the various syndrome components combines with an independent effect of each individual component (diabetes, dyslipidemia, and/or hypertension). The higher incidence of osteoarthritis in patients with obesity is related to several factors. One is the larger fat mass, which imposes heavier loads on the joints. Another is endocrine production by the adipose tissue of proinflammatory mediators (cytokines, adipokines, fatty acids, and reactive oxygen species) that adversely affect joint tissues. Obesity-related dysbiosis and sarcopenia were more recently implicated in the association between obesity and osteoarthritis. Finally, patients who have osteoarthritis, with or without metabolic syndrome, are at increased risk for cardiovascular mortality due not only to a sedentary lifestyle, but also to shared risk factors. Among these is the low-grade inflammation seen in patients with metabolic disorders. Thus, primary prevention and appropriate management of obesity and metabolic syndrome may delay the development and slow the progression of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between statin therapy initiation and incident hand osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS We performed a propensity score-matched cohort study using data from the UK-based Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Statin initiators had ≥1 statin prescription between 1996 and 2015 and were matched 1:1 on their propensity score to noninitiators within 10 sequential 2-year cohort entry blocks. After a 180-day run-in period, patients were followed in an as-treated approach until a recorded diagnosis of hand OA or until censoring (change in exposure status, development of an exclusion criterion, or maximum follow-up of 5.5 years). We applied Cox proportional hazard regression to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) overall and in subgroups of sex, age, statin dose, statin agent, preexisting dyslipidemia, and treatment duration. To compare results, we ran all analyses with negative and positive control outcomes and assessed generalized OA as a secondary outcome. We further performed the overall analysis with an active comparator (topical glaucoma therapy initiators). RESULTS Among 233,608 statin initiators and the same number of noninitiators, we observed an overall HR for hand OA of 0.98 (95% CI 0.88-1.09). The observed null result remained unchanged in all subgroups. Results were highly similar for generalized OA and negative control outcomes. In addition, the active comparator analysis showed a null result with an HR for hand OA of 0.85 (95% CI 0.56-1.29). Previously known associations with positive control outcomes were observed. CONCLUSION There was no association between statin initiation and incident hand OA in this study.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major health issue worldwide and is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and hypercholesterolemia. Several animal models were used to describe the MetS; however, many of them do not mimic well the MetS pathophysiology in humans. The ApoE*3Leiden.CETP mouse model overcomes part of this limitation, since they have a humanised lipoprotein metabolism and a heterogeneous response to MetS, similar to humans. The reported heterogeneity among them and their common classification refer to responder (R) and nonresponder (NR) mice; R mice show increased body weight, cholesterol, and triglycerides levels, whereas NR mice do not show this expected phenotype when fed a Western type diet. To define better the differences between R and NR mice, we focused on feeding behavior, body weight gain, glucose tolerance, and lipid parameters, and on an extensive pathological examination along with liver histology analysis. Our data confirmed that R mice resemble the pathological features of the human MetS: obesity, dysplipidemia, and glucose intolerance. NR mice do not develop the full dysmetabolic phenotype because of a severe inflammatory hepatic condition, which may heavily affect liver function. We conclude that R and NR mice are metabolically different and that NR mice have indications of severely impaired liver function. Hence, it is critical to identify and separate the respective mice to decrease data heterogeneity. Clinical chemistry and histological analysis should be used to confirm retrospectively the animals' classification. Moreover, we point out that NR mice may not be an appropriate control for studies involving ApoE*3Leiden.CETP R mice. NEW & NOTEWORTHY When compared with some other animal models, ApoE*3Leiden.CETP mice are better models to describe the metabolic syndrome. However, there is phenotypic heterogeneity between "responder" and "nonresponder" mice, the latter showing some evidence of hepatic pathology. A full phenotypic characterization and eventually postmortem analysis of the liver are warranted.

Abstract
Cellular cholesterol metabolism, lipid raft formation, and lipoprotein interactions contribute to the regulation of immune-mediated inflammation and response to pathogens. Lipid pathways have been implicated in the pathogenesis of bacterial and viral infections, whereas altered lipid metabolism may contribute to immune dysfunction in autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Interestingly, dietary cholesterol may exert protective or detrimental effects on risk, progression, and treatment of different infectious and autoimmune diseases, although current findings suggest that these effects are variable across populations and different diseases. Research evaluating the effects of dietary cholesterol, often provided by eggs or as a component of Western-style diets, demonstrates that cholesterol-rich dietary patterns affect markers of immune inflammation and cellular cholesterol metabolism, while additionally modulating lipoprotein profiles and functional properties of HDL. Further, cholesterol-rich diets appear to differentially impact immunomodulatory lipid pathways across human populations of variable metabolic status, suggesting that these complex mechanisms may underlie the relationship between dietary cholesterol and immunity. Given the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015⁻2020 revision to no longer include limitations on dietary cholesterol, evaluation of dietary cholesterol recommendations beyond the context of cardiovascular disease risk is particularly timely. This review provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of significant and controversial studies on the role of dietary cholesterol and lipid metabolism in the pathophysiology of infectious disease and autoimmune disorders, highlighting the need for further investigation in this developing area of research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human cohort studies have demonstrated a role for systemic metabolic dysfunction in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis in obese patients. To explore the mechanisms underlying this metabolic phenotype of OA, we examined cartilage degradation in the knees of mice from different genetic backgrounds in which a metabolic phenotype was established by various dietary approaches. DESIGN Wild-type C57BL/6J mice and genetically modified mice (hCRP, LDLr-/-. Leiden and ApoE*3Leiden.CETP mice) based on C57BL/6J background were used to investigate the contribution of inflammation and altered lipoprotein handling on diet-induced cartilage degradation. High-caloric diets of different macronutrient composition (i.e., high-carbohydrate or high-fat) were given in regimens of varying duration to induce a metabolic phenotype with aggravated cartilage degradation relative to controls. RESULTS Metabolic phenotypes were confirmed in all studies as mice developed obesity, hypercholesteremia, glucose intolerance and/or insulin resistance. Aggravated cartilage degradation was only observed in two out of the twelve experimental setups, specifically in long-term studies in male hCRP and female ApoE*3Leiden.CETP mice. C57BL/6J and LDLr-/-. Leiden mice did not develop HFD-induced OA under the conditions studied. Osteophyte formation and synovitis scores showed variable results between studies, but also between strains and gender. CONCLUSIONS Long-term feeding of high-caloric diets consistently induced a metabolic phenotype in various C57BL/6J (-based) mouse strains. In contrast, the induction of articular cartilage degradation proved variable, which suggests that an additional trigger might be necessary to accelerate diet-induced OA progression. Gender and genetic modifications that result in a humanized pro-inflammatory state (human CRP) or lipoprotein metabolism (human-E3L.CETP) were identified as important contributing factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Experimental findings and previous observational data have suggested lower risk of osteoarthritis (OA) with statin use but results are inconsistent. Large-scale studies with a clinically important outcome are needed. Thus, we aimed to determine whether statin use is associated with a reduced risk of developing clinically-defined hip or knee OA. DESIGN Pooled analysis based on time-to-event analysis of four population-based large cohorts, encompassing in total 132,607 persons aged 57-91 years resident in southern and central Sweden. We studied the association between statin use and time to consultation or surgery for OA of the hip or knee by time-dependent exposure analysis and Cox regression. RESULTS During 7.5 years of follow-up, we identified 7468 out- or inpatient treated cases of hip or knee OA. Compared with never use, current use of statins conferred no overall reduction in the risk of OA with an adjusted pooled hazard ratio (HR) of 1.04 (95% confidence intervals [95% CI] 0.99-1.10). We found no dose-response relation between duration of current statin use and the risk of OA, with similar HRs among patients with less than 1 year of use (HR 1.09; 95% CI 0.92-1.32) as in patients with use for 3 years or more (HR 1.05; 0.93-1.16). Results were comparable in those with low, medium and high dose of current statin use, without indications of heterogeneity of study results. CONCLUSION Statin use is not associated with reduced risk of consultation or surgery for OA of the hip or knee.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epidemiological and experimental studies have suggested that lipid disorders might be involved in the pathophysiology of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Studies assessing the effect of statins on knee OA progression have shown conflicting results. We investigated the impact of statin use on radiological progression in patients with radiological and symptomatic knee OA. METHODS In total, 336 patients from the placebo arm of SEKOIA trial completed the 3-year follow-up and were included in this post-hoc analysis. Statin use was recorded at baseline interview. Minimal medial tibiofemoral joint space was measured on plain radiographs by an automated method at baseline and then annually. Radiologic progression was defined as joint space narrowing≥0.5mm over 3 years. RESULTS Overall, 71 patients were statin users (21.1%). They had a higher BMI (31.1±5.3 vs. 29.3±5.2kg/m2, P=0.008), a higher sum of metabolic factors (≥3 factors: 43.7% vs 7.2%; P for trend<0.001) and a higher rate of radiological progression (49.3% vs. 32.1%, P=0.007) as compared to statin non-users. The significant association between radiological progression and statin use was independent of age, gender, WOMAC global score, disease duration, baseline joint space width, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity (BMI>30kg/m2) and cardiovascular diseases [relative risk 1.49 (95% CI: 1.10-2.02), P=0.010]. CONCLUSION Among patients with knee OA, statin use was associated with radiological worsening over 3 years, regardless of other potential confounding factors (obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, disease duration, symptom intensity and radiological severity).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and whether OA and dyslipidemia are associated. METHODS We performed a systematic literature review and a meta-analysis, including cross-sectional, cohort and case-control studies, to assess the number of patients with OA and/or dyslipidemia. We calculated the mean (±SD) prevalence of dyslipidemia in patients with and without OA and the risk of dyslipidemia (OR, 95% CI) among patients with OA. RESULTS From 605 articles screened, 48 were included in the analysis (describing 29 cross-sectional, 10 cohort and 9 case-control studies). The mean prevalence of dyslipidemia was 30.2%±0.6% among 14 843 patients with OA and 8.0%±0.1% among 196 168 without OA. The risk of dyslipidemia was greater with than without OA overall (OR 1.98,95% CI 1.43 to 2.75, p<0.0001) and with knee OA (OR 2.27, 1.33 to 3.89, p=0.003) and hand OA (OR 2.12, 1.46 to 3.07), p<0.0001). CONCLUSION The risk of dyslipidemia was twofold greater with than without OA, so lipid disturbances could be a risk factor for OA. Such a result supports the individualisation of the metabolic syndrome-associated OA phenotype.

Abstract
We evaluated the relationship of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and treatment with antihypertensives with knee osteoarthritis incidence in a US cohort. We performed a longitudinal study (2004-2010) nested within the Osteoarthritis Initiative Study including only individuals without knee osteoarthritis at baseline. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure were assessed at baseline, 12-, 24-, and 36-month visits. Knee radiographs at baseline, 12-, 24-, 36- and 48-month visits defined radiographic osteoarthritis, Kellgren and Lawrence grade ≥2. We performed logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, NSAID use, number of antihypertensive medications, diabetic medications, and cholesterol medications. One thousand nine hundred and thirty people (6040 observations) were included. Annual incidence rates of radiographic osteoarthritis by systolic blood pressure quartiles (lowest to highest) were 2.1, 3.4, 3.7, and 3.7%. Fully adjusted odds ratios of incident radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) for the 2nd-4th quartiles were 1.6, 1.7, and 1.6 relative to the lowest quartile (p for trend = 0.03). Pulse pressure results were similar. There was no association with diastolic blood pressure. Compared to those not taking any antihypertensive medications, those taking ≥3 had decreased odds (0.4, 0.1-1.0) of developing incident OA. In a US cohort, higher systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure are associated with increased incidence of radiographic knee osteoarthritis while treatment with ≥3 antihypertensive medications was associated with reduced incidence. These findings suggest a new and promising avenue for research on disease modification in knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease but an effective pharmacological therapy has not been developed yet. To identify targets for treatment and ways to interfere with OA development and progression both spontaneous and induced OA models are still needed. In this narrative review it is discussed what variables can be identified that lead to variation in OA animal model studies. DESIGN Literature was screened (Pubmed) with the following terms; OA animal models in combination with species, age, strain, gender/sex, housing, diet, fighting, circadian rhythm, transgenic. Relevant articles were selected and additional papers were searched for and read for specific subtopics. RESULTS Studies with OA models are subject to a multitude of variables, stimuli and conditions that can influence the outcome of an animal experiment. Outcome will depend on amongst others; the model used, species and strain, age, gender, diet, housing conditions, circadian rhythm, timing of intervention, stress levels and activity. Variations in these variables can account for discrepancies between OA model experiments, intervention studies and conclusions. CONCLUSION To improve OA animal model research, investigators should be aware of all the stimuli and conditions that can interfere with disease development and disease intervention and take these into account in their study design and execution.
