Pannexin 3 deletion in mice results in knee osteoarthritis and intervertebral disc degeneration after forced treadmill running. J Orthop Res 2024; 42:1696-1709.

Abstract
Pannexin 3 (Panx3) is a glycoprotein that forms mechanosensitive channels expressed in chondrocytes and annulus fibrosus cells of the intervertebral disc (IVD). Evidence suggests Panx3 plays contrasting roles in traumatic versus aging osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). However, whether its deletion influences the response of joint tissue to forced use is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine if Panx3 deletion in mice causes increased knee joint OA and IDD after forced treadmill running. Male and female wildtype (WT) and Panx3 knockout (KO) mice were randomized to either a no-exercise group (sedentary; SED) or daily forced treadmill running (forced exercise; FEX) from 24 to 30 weeks of age. Knee cartilage and IVD histopathology were evaluated by histology, while tibial secondary ossification centers were analyzed using microcomputed tomography (µCT). Both male and female Panx3 KO mice developed larger superficial defects of the tibial cartilage after forced treadmill running compared with SED WT mice. Additionally, Panx3 KO mice developed reduced bone volume, and female PANX3 KO mice had lengthening of the lateral tubercle at the intercondylar eminence. In the lower lumbar spine, both male and female Panx3 KO mice developed histopathological features of IDD after running compared to SED WT mice. These findings suggest that the combination of deleting Panx3 and forced treadmill running induces OA and causes histopathological changes associated with the degeneration of the IVDs in mice.

Abstract
Determine if oxidative damage increases in articular cartilage as a result of injury and matrix failure and whether modulation of the local redox environment influences this damage. Osteoarthritis is an age associated disease with no current disease modifying approaches available. Mechanisms of cartilage damage in vitro suggest tissue free radical production could be critical to early degeneration, but these mechanisms have not been described in intact tissue. To assess free radical production as a result of traumatic injury, we measured biomolecular free radical generation via immuno-spin trapping (IST) of protein/proteoglycan/lipid free radicals after a 2 J/cm2 impact to swine articular cartilage explants. This technique allows visualization of free radical formation upon a wide variety of molecules using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded approaches. Scoring of extracellular staining by trained, blinded scorers demonstrated significant increases with impact injury, particularly at sites of cartilage cracking. Increases remain in the absence of live chondrocytes but are diminished; thus, they appear to be a cell-dependent and -independent feature of injury. We then modulated the extracellular environment with a pulse of heparin to demonstrate the responsiveness of the IST signal to changes in cartilage biology. Addition of heparin caused a distinct change in the distribution of protein/lipid free radicals at sites of failure alongside a variety of pertinent redox changes related to osteoarthritis. This study directly confirms the production of biomolecular free radicals from articular trauma, providing a rigorous characterization of their formation by injury.

Abstract
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EcSOD) is the only extracellular scavenger of superoxide anion (O2.-) with unique binding capacity to cell surface and extracellular matrix through its heparin-binding domain. Enhanced EcSOD activity prevents oxidative stress and damage, which are fundamental in a variety of disease pathologies. In this review we will discuss the findings in humans and animal studies supporting the benefits of EcSOD induced by exercise training in reducing oxidative stress in various tissues. In particularly, we will highlight the importance of skeletal muscle EcSOD, which is induced by endurance exercise and redistributed through the circulation to the peripheral tissues, as a molecular transducer of exercise training to confer protection against oxidative stress and damage in various disease conditions.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by uncontrolled joint inflammation and damage to bone and cartilage. Previous studies have shown that chemokine receptors have important roles in RA development, and that blocking these receptors effectively inhibits RA progression. Our study was undertaken to investigate the role of AMG487, a selective CXCR3 antagonist, in DBA/1J mice bearing collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Following induction of CIA, animals were treated with 5 mg/kg AMG487 intraperitoneally every 48 h, starting from day 21 until day 41 and evaluated for clinical score, and histological hallmarks of arthritic inflammation. We further investigated the effect of AMG487 on Th1 (T-bet), Th17 (IL-17A, RORγt, STAT3), Th22 (IL-22), and T regulatory (Treg; Foxp3 and IL-10) cells in splenic CXCR3+ and CD4+ T cells using flow cytometry. We also assessed the effect of AMG487 on T-bet, RORγt, IL-17A, IL-22, Foxp3, and IL-10 at both mRNA and protein levels using RT-PCR and Western blot analyses of knee samples. The severity of clinical scores, and histological inflammatory damage decreased significantly in AMG487-treated compared with CIA control mice. Moreover, the percentage of Th1, Th17, and Th22 cells decreased significantly and that of Treg cells increased in AMG487-treated mice. We further observed that AMG487-treatment downregulated T-bet, IL-17A, RORγt, and IL-22, whereas it upregulated Foxp3 and IL-10 mRNA and protein levels. This study demonstrates the antiarthritic effects of AMG487 in CIA animal model and supports the development of CXCR3 antagonists as a novel strategy for the treatment of inflammatory and arthritic conditions.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising cell sources for regenerative medicine. Growing evidence has indicated that mechanical stimuli are crucial for their lineage-specific differentiation. However, the effect of mechanical loading on redox balance and the intracellular antioxidant system in MSCs was unknown. In this study, human bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) were subjected to cyclic stretch at the magnitude of 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. Cell proliferation, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), expression of antioxidant enzymes, and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated. RNA was extracted and subjected to DNA microarray analysis. Sirtinol and compound C were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms involved silent information regulator type 1 (SIRT1) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Our results showed that mechanical stretch at appropriate magnitudes increased cell proliferation, up-regulated extracellular matrix organization, and down-regulated matrix disassembly. After 3 days of stretch, intracellular ROS in BM-MSCs were decreased but the levels of antioxidant enzymes, especially superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), were up-regulated. Osteogenesis was improved by 5% stretch rather than 10% stretch, as evidenced by increased matrix mineralization and osteogenic marker gene expression. The expression of SIRT1 and phosphorylation of AMPK were enhanced by mechanical stretch; however, inhibition of SIRT1 or AMPK abrogated the stretch-induced antioxidant effect on BM-MSCs and inhibited the stretch-mediated osteogenic differentiation. Our findings reveal that mechanical stretch induced antioxidant responses, attenuated intracellular ROS, and improved osteogenesis of BM-MSCs. The stretch-induced antioxidant effect was through activation of the AMPK-SIRT1 signaling pathway. Our findings demonstrated that appropriate mechanical stimulation can improve MSC antioxidant functions and benefit bone regeneration.

Abstract
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is a detrimental clinical complication in critically ill patients with high mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that oxidative stress and endothelial activation (induced expression of adhesion molecules) of vital organ vasculatures are key, early steps in the pathogenesis. We aimed to ascertain the role and mechanism(s) of enhanced extracellular superoxide dismutase (EcSOD) expression in skeletal muscle in protection against MODS induced by endotoxemia. We showed that EcSOD overexpressed in skeletal muscle-specific transgenic mice (TG) redistributes to other peripheral organs through the circulation and enriches at the endothelium of the vasculatures. TG mice are resistant to endotoxemia (induced by lipopolysaccharide [LPS] injection) in developing MODS with significantly reduced mortality and organ damages compared with the wild type littermates (WT). Heterogenic parabiosis between TG and WT mice conferred a significant protection to WT mice, whereas mice with R213G knock-in mutation, a human single nucleotide polymorphism leading to reduced binding EcSOD in peripheral organs, exacerbated the organ damages. Mechanistically, EcSOD inhibits vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 expression and inflammatory leukocyte adhesion to the vascular wall of vital organs, blocking an early step of the pathology in organ damage under endotoxemia. Therefore, enhanced expression of EcSOD in skeletal muscle profoundly protects against MODS by inhibiting endothelial activation and inflammatory cell adhesion, which could be a promising therapy for MODS.

Abstract
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis can develop as a result of the initial mechanical impact causing the injury and also as a result of chronic changes in mechanical loading of the joint. Aberrant mechanical loading initiates excessive production of reactive oxygen species, oxidative damage, and stress that appears to damage mitochondria in the surviving chondrocytes. To probe the benefits of increasing superoxide removal with small molecular weight superoxide dismutase mimetics under severe loads, we applied both impact and overload injury scenarios to bovine osteochondral explants using characterized mechanical platforms with and without GC4403, MnTE-2-PyP, and MnTnBuOE-2-PyP. In impact scenarios, each of these mimetics provides some dose-dependent protection from cell death and loss of mitochondrial content while in repeated overloading scenarios only MnTnBuOE-2-PyP provided a clear benefit to chondrocytes. These results support the hypothesis that superoxide is generated in excess after impact injuries and suggest that superoxide production within the lipid compartment may be a critical mediator of responses to chronic overload. This is an important nuance distinguishing roles of superoxide, and thus superoxide dismutases, in mediating damage to cellular machinery in hyper-acute impact scenarios compared to chronic scenarios.

Abstract
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is defined by its development after joint injury. Factors contributing to the risk of PTOA occurring, the rate of progression, and degree of associated disability in any individual, remain incompletely understood. What constitutes an "OA-inducing injury" is not defined. In line with advances in the traumatic brain injury field, we propose the scope of PTOA-inducing injuries be expanded to include not only those causing immediate structural damage and instability (Type I), but also those without initial instability/damage from moderate (Type II) or minor (Type III) loading severity. A review of the literature revealed this full spectrum of potential PTOA subtypes can be modeled in mice, with 27 Type I, 6 Type II, and 4 Type III models identified. Despite limitations due to cartilage anatomy, joint size, and bio-fluid availability, mice offer advantages as preclinical models to study PTOA, particularly genetically modified strains. Histopathology was the most common disease outcome, cartilage more frequently studied than bone or synovium, and meniscus and ligaments rarely evaluated. Other methods used to examine PTOA included gene expression, protein analysis, and imaging. Despite the major issues reported by patients being pain and biomechanical dysfunction, these were the least commonly measured outcomes in mouse models. Informative correlations of simultaneously measured disease outcomes in individual animals, was rarely done in any mouse PTOA model. This review has identified knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to increase understanding and improve prevention and management of PTOA. Preclinical mouse models play a critical role in these endeavors. © 2016 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Orthop Res 35:424-439, 2017.

Abstract
Functional assessments of cardiovascular fitness (CVF) are needed to establish animal models of dysfunction, test the effects of novel therapeutics, and establish the cardio-metabolic phenotype of mice. In humans, the graded maximal exercise test (GXT) is a standardized diagnostic for assessing CVF and mortality risk. These tests, which consist of concurrent staged increases in running speed and inclination, provide diagnostic cardio-metabolic parameters, such as, VO2max, anaerobic threshold, and metabolic crossover. Unlike the human-GXT, published mouse treadmill tests have set, not staged, increases in inclination as speed progress until exhaustion (PXT). Additionally, they often lack multiple cardio-metabolic parameters. Here, we developed a mouse-GXT with the intent of improving mouse-exercise testing sensitivity and developing translatable parameters to assess CVF in healthy and dysfunctional mice. The mouse-GXT, like the human-GXT, incorporated staged increases in inclination, speed, and intensity; and, was designed by considering imitations of the PXT and differences between human and mouse physiology. The mouse-GXT and PXTs were both tested in healthy mice (C57BL/6J, FVBN/J) to determine their ability to identify cardio-metabolic parameters (anaerobic threshold, VO2max, metabolic crossover) observed in human-GXTs. Next, theses assays were tested on established diet-induced (obese-C57BL/6J) and genetic (cardiac isoform Casq2-/-) models of cardiovascular dysfunction. Results showed that both tests reported VO2max and provided reproducible data about performance. Only the mouse-GXT reproducibly identified anaerobic threshold, metabolic crossover, and detected impaired CVF in dysfunctional models. Our findings demonstrated that the mouse-GXT is a sensitive, non-invasive, and cost-effective method for assessing CVF in mice. This new test can be used as a functional assessment to determine the cardio-metabolic phenotype of various animal models or the effects of novel therapeutics.
