Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134054. [PMID: 39038580 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
Polysaccharides, known as naturally abundant macromolecular materials which can be easily modified chemically, have always attracted scientists' interest due to their outstanding properties in tissue engineering. Moreover, their intrinsic similarity to cartilage ECM components, biocompatibility, and non-harsh processing conditions make polysaccharides an excellent option for cartilage tissue engineering. Imitating the natural ECM structure to form a fibrous scaffold at the nanometer scale in order to recreate the optimal environment for cartilage regeneration has always been attractive for researchers in the past few years. However, there are some challenges for polysaccharides electrospun nanofibers preparation, such as poor solubility (Alginate, cellulose, chitin), high viscosity (alginate, chitosan, and Hyaluronic acid), high surface tension, etc. Several methods are reported in the literature for facing polysaccharide electrospinning issues, such as using carrier polymers, modification of polysaccharides, and using different solvent systems. In this review, considering the importance of polysaccharide-based electrospun nanofibers in cartilage tissue engineering applications, the main achievements in the past few years, and challenges for their electrospinning process are discussed. After careful investigation of reported studies in the last few years, alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and cellulose were chosen as the main polysaccharide base electrospun nanofibers used for cartilage regeneration.

Park SJ, Nam CH, Ahn HS, Kim T. The efficacy and safety of leucine-enriched essential amino acids in knee osteoarthritis patients: A randomized controlled trial. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e38168. [PMID: 38728455 PMCID: PMC11081624 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000038168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Supplementation with leucine-enriched essential amino acids (LEAAs) has shown efficacy in the recovery of muscle injury and activation of muscle synthesis. Muscle function in knee osteoarthritis is a crucial factor for managing pain and preserving ambulatory function. However, the efficacy and safety of LEAAs supplementation in patients with knee osteoarthritis have not been evaluated. METHODS In this prospective analysis, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of supplementation with 12 g of LEAAs daily for 8 weeks in knee-symptomatic osteoarthritis patients. For assessing the efficacy, clinical pain, calf circumference, and disability were assessed using questionnaires (visual analog scale, Knee Society Score, and 36-item short form survey [SF-36]), laboratory analyses (total protein and albumin), and radiologic study (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry [DEXA]) for muscle and bone density. To evaluate safety, generalized or localized protein allergic reactions, complete blood count, liver and kidney function, and serum glucose were measured. RESULTS Sixty-five participants, categorized into the experimental (n = 32) and control (n = 33) groups, were included in this 8-week trial from March 2022 to July 2022. A significantly higher efficacy was observed in the experimental group than in the control group, as indicated by muscle density in the DEXA scan (P = .001) and SF-36 (P < .001). The safety evaluation revealed no related generalized or local protein allergy. Hematological findings, serum glucose, and kidney and liver toxicity were not significantly different between the groups. CONCLUSION Supplementation with leucine-enriched proteins is safe and efficacious in the improvement of muscle density and quality of life.

Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2024; 58:52-61. [PMID: 38510821 PMCID: PMC10948692 DOI: 10.1007/s13139-023-00823-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Our objectives were to investigate the utility of 99mTc-ethylenedicysteine-deoxyglucose (ECDG) in identifying active disease in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as to evaluate the biodistribution of this radiopharmaceutical. Methods A prospective study was conducted at the Department of Nuclear Medicine of the University of the Free State/Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Twenty-two participants from the rheumatology department diagnosed with RA according to the ACR/EULAR classification criteria were enrolled. Participants were injected with 20-25 mCi of 99mTc-ECDG. Flow, blood pool, whole body, delayed static, and SPECT/CT images were acquired. Known sites of disease were qualitatively assessed for intensity of uptake, and disease severity was graded (Grade 0-3). Results Twenty-two participants were studied. The median (interquartile range) age was 59 (49-68) years, and the majority (n = 21; 95.5%) were females. There was abnormal increased uptake of 99mTc-ECDG noted in majority of the sites of known disease, including unknown sites. SPECT/CT imaging localized radiotracer uptake specifically to the synovial space. Similar biodistribution of radiotracer was noted in all patients, irrespective of disease severity or fasting status. Conclusion 99mTc-ECDG can efficiently assess disease activity in the joints of patients with RA. It accumulates in sites of both clinical and subclinical disease and might be a very useful tool for the rheumatologist in the management of patients with RA.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126528.

Abstract
In this study, we fabricate squeezable cryogel microbeads as injectable scaffolds for minimum invasive delivery of chondrocytes for cartilage tissue engineering applications. The microbeads with different glucosamine concentrations were prepared by combining the water-in-oil emulsion and cryogelation through crosslinking of gelatin with glutaraldehyde in the presence of glucosamine. The physicochemical characterization results show the successful preparation of cryogel microbeads with uniform shape and size, high porosity, large pore size, high water uptake capacity, and good injectability. In vitro analysis indicates proliferation, migration, and differentiated phenotype of rabbit chondrocytes in the cryogel scaffolds. The seeded chondrocytes in the cryogel scaffold can be delivered by injecting through an 18G needle to fully retain the cell viability. Furthermore, the incorporation of glucosamine in the cryogel promoted the differentiated phenotype of chondrocytes in a dose-dependent manner, from cartilage-specific gene expression and protein production. The in vivo study by injecting the cryogel microbeads into the subcutaneous pockets of nude mice indicates good retention ability as well as good biocompatibility and suitable biodegradability of the cryogel scaffold. Furthermore, the injected chondrocyte/cryogel microbead constructs can form ectopic functional neocartilage tissues following subcutaneous implantation in 21 days, as evidenced by histological and immunohistochemical analysis.

Abstract
Many patients, particularly those aged above 40, experience knee joint pain, which hampers both sports activities and daily living. Treating isolated chondral and osteochondral defects in the knee poses a significant clinical challenge, particularly in younger patients who are not typically recommended partial or total knee arthroplasty as alternatives. Several surgical approaches have been developed to address focal cartilage defects. The treatment strategies are characterized as palliation (e.g., chondroplasty and debridement), repair (e.g., drilling and microfracture), or restoration (e.g., autologous chondrocyte implantation, osteochondral autograft, and osteochondral allograft). This review offers an overview of the commonly employed clinical methods for treating articular cartilage defects, with a specific focus on the clinical trials conducted in the last decade. Our study reveals that, currently, no single technology fully meets the essential requirements for effective cartilage healing while remaining easily applicable during surgical procedures. Nevertheless, numerous methods are available, and the choice of treatment should consider factors such as the location and size of the cartilage lesion, patient preferences, and whether it is chondral or osteochondral in nature. Promising directions for the future include tissue engineering, stem cell therapies, and the development of pre-formed scaffolds from hyaline cartilage, offering hope for improved outcomes.

Abstract
Objective This case report describes a successful outcome in the treatment of a patient with joint supplement toxicity, which resulted in seizures, severe acidemia, hyperglycemia, hypernatremia, and multiple organ dysfunction. Previous case reports have been published, but this patient presented with different clinical signs and had additional biochemical abnormalities. Treatment modalities varied in this case report, and the patient was discharged sooner than those mentioned in previous reports. Case summary A 9-year-old spayed female Maltese mix was presented to a specialty hospital for joint supplement toxicity. Presenting clinical signs were vomiting and seizures. Primary biochemical abnormalities consisted of hypernatremia, hyperglycemia, acidemia, azotemia, and elevated liver enzymes. Treatment involved lowering the sodium quickly given the neurologic signs on presentation. Other treatment modalities consisted of sodium bicarbonate, insulin, and liver protectants. The patient responded quickly and was discharged after 3 days in the hospital. New or unique information provided This case report is different in that the patient was having seizures and was also hyperglycemic, in addition to the expected abnormalities of hypernatremia, acidemia, and multiple organ dysfunction. It also differs from prior reports in that the treatment of hypernatremia was managed as an acute process. This case report describes differing clinical signs, biochemical abnormalities, and treatment modalities that may have led to the discharge from the hospital in a shorter time.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and associated conditions are an important problem in modern medicine. The onset of IDD may be in childhood and adolescence in patients with a genetic predisposition. With age, IDD progresses, leading to spondylosis, spondylarthrosis, herniated disc, spinal canal stenosis. One of the leading mechanisms in the development of IDD and chronic back pain is an imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. However, classical therapeutic strategies for correcting cytokine imbalance in IDD do not give the expected response in more than half of the cases. The purpose of this review is to update knowledge about new and promising therapeutic strategies based on the correction of the molecular mechanisms of cytokine imbalance in patients with IDD. This review demonstrates that knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of the imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines may be a new key to finding more effective drugs for the treatment of IDD in the setting of acute and chronic inflammation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a topically applied formulation with the potential to alleviate arthritis ailments. A combination of two active ingredients, icariin from Epimedium L. (Species: Epimedium Koreanum) extract as a potential promoter of chondrogenesis and glucosamine sulfate as a precursor of cartilage tissues, was tested. In permeation studies, the potential for skin permeation of both substances was confirmed; however, the in vitro release test did not accurately reflect the degree of skin permeation. The in vitro release of icariin was at a level of 15.0–19.0% for the plant-extract-derived icariin and 29.0–35.0% for the pure substance. The level of glucosamine sulfate release was 38.4% (on average). For icariin of both origins, the release results were higher than those obtained via oral administration (about 12.0%), which shows the potential superiority of topical application. In addition, the physicochemical parameters that affect the in vitro release and performance of topical formulations were addressed. This preliminary research and permeation analysis of the formulation produced a promising picture of its prospects regarding arthritis treatment, although further investigation is needed.

Abstract
The need for analytical methods that are fast, affordable, and ecologically friendly is expanding. Because of its low solvent consumption, minimal waste production, and speedy analysis, capillary electrophoresis is considered a "green" choice among analytical separation methods. With these "green" features, we have utilized the capillary electrophoresis method with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) to simultaneously determine glucosamine and Ca2+ in dietary supplements. The CE analysis was performed in fused silica capillaries (50 μm inner diameter, 40 cm total length, 30 cm effective length), and the analytical time was around 5 min. After optimization, the CE conditions for selective determination of glucosamine and Ca2+ were obtained, including a 10 mM tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane/acetic acid (Tris/Ace) buffer of pH 5.0 as the background electrolyte; separation voltage of 20 kV; and hydrodynamic injection (siphoning) at 25 cm height for 30 s. The method illustrated good linearity over the concentration range of 5.00 to 200 mg/L of for glucosamine (R 2 = 0.9994) and 1.00 to 100 mg/L for Ca2+ (R 2 = 0.9994). Under the optimum conditions, the detection limit of glucosamine was 1.00 mg/L, while that of Ca2+ was 0.05 mg/L. The validated method successfully analyzed glucosamine and Ca2+ in seven dietary supplement samples. The measured concentrations were generally in line with the values of label claims and with cross-checking data from reference methods (HPLC and ICP-OES).

Abstract
Glucosamine is widely prescribed as a dietary supplement used to treat arthritis. In this study, the radioprotective ability of glucosamine was evaluated against radiation-induced genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Blood samples were collected from five healthy male donors and were divided into four groups. Isolated lymphocytes and blood samples were treated with 10 µM of glucosamine for 2 h before exposure to 2 Gy radiation. The radioprotective potential of glucosamine was assessed by micronucleus assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level analysis, and flow cytometry. Irradiation significantly increased the micronuclei frequency as compared to the control group. Contrary to that pretreatment with glucosamine before irradiation significantly reduced the frequency of micronuclei. Furthermore, pretreatment with glucosamine significantly prevented the percentage of apoptotic lymphocytes. Also, glucosamine pretreatment significantly reduced the production of ROS in irradiated lymphocytes. This study shows glucosamine to be a potent radioprotector against radiation that induces DNA damage and apoptosis in human lymphocytes. Several additional in vivo and in vitro studies are needed before glucosamine can be considered as a radioprotective candidate in patients undergoing radiation therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of clinical arthritis in middle-aged and older individuals. Undenatured or native type II (TII) collagen derived from the chicken sternum has a good therapeutic effect on relieving severe pain of OA. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of TII collagen (Native CT-II®) in individuals with knee OA. METHODS We conducted a 12-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study on 101 participants aged 40-65 years with knee OA. The participants were randomised to receive either TII collagen, glucosamine hydrochloride + chondroitin sulfate (G + C) or a placebo. The primary outcome was an improvement in the joint health of the participants assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) compared to G + C and placebo. RESULTS Compared with the placebo group (n = 27), the TII collagen group (n = 29) and G + C group (n = 29) significantly improved the overall joint health measured by the change in WOMAC total score (week 12: TII collagen = -32.47 ± 19.51 and G + C = -33.74 ± 24.64 vs. placebo = -13.84 ± 17.61; p < 0.05) and relieved knee joint pain (week 12: TII collagen = -5.69 ± 3.66 and G + C = -6.03 ± 4.72 vs. placebo = -2.71 ± 3.95; p < 0.05). The statistically significant effect was observed as early as 4 weeks after the investigational product administration. Additionally, the TII collagen was more effective in improving the quality of life than the G + C. CONCLUSION TII collagen not only has a significantly better effect and high safety profile for OA but also improves the quality of life of patients.

Abstract
Joint disorders have become a global health issue with the growth of the aging population. Screening small active molecules targeting chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) is of urgency. In this study, microfracture was employed to create a regenerative niche in rabbits (n = 9). Cartilage samples were collected four weeks post-surgery. Microfracture-caused morphological (n = 3) and metabolic (n = 6) changes were detected. Non-targeted metabolomic analysis revealed that there were 96 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) enriched in 70 pathways involved in anti-inflammation, lipid metabolism, signaling transduction, etc. Among the metabolites, docosapentaenoic acid 22n-3 (DPA) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) functionally facilitated cartilage defect healing, i.e., increasing the vitality and adaptation of the BMSCs, chondrogenic differentiation, and chondrocyte functionality. Our findings firstly reveal the differences in metabolomic activities between the normal and regenerated cartilages and provide a list of endogenous biomolecules potentially involved in the biochemical-niche fate control for chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Ultimately, the biomolecules may serve as anti-aging supplements for chondrocyte renewal or as drug candidates for cartilage regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic progressive musculoskeletal disease, affected cartilage, and surrounded tissues: Subchondral bones, ligaments, and meniscus. Current OA treatment based on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen (paracetamol), opioids, and intra-articular corticosteroid injections do not prevent the progression of the disease. Understanding of the pathogenesis of OA with continued structural damage accompanied by chronic pain led to appearance of monoclonal antibodies to fibroblast growth factor-18 (FGF)-18 and anti-nerve growth factor (NGF). This review provides an overview of biological therapy with FGF-18 and anti-NGF for OA. Search process was conducted in PubMed and Google Scholar for the following terms: “FGF-18” or “anti-NGF” and “OA,” “monoclonal antibody” and “OA.” Results of the analysis of clinical trials revealed that therapy targeting NGF resulted in significant analgesic effect and functional improvement of joints in OA; however, it was associated with considerable increase in adverse events. The mon\oclonal antibody to FGF-18 demonstrated the structure-modifying effects on cartilage with decrease the cartilage loss and improvement of cartilage thickness. However, further clinical longitudinal studies characterized the risk-benefit are needed to establish safety and efficacy of these medications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common joint disease, shows an increasing prevalence in the aging population in industrialized countries. OA is characterized by low-grade chronic inflammation, which causes degeneration of all joint tissues, such as articular cartilage, subchondral bone, and synovial membrane, leading to pain and loss of functionality. Erythrocytes, the most abundant blood cells, have as their primary function oxygen transport, which induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. For this reason, the erythrocytes have several mechanisms to counteract ROS injuries, which cause damage to lipids and proteins of the cell membrane. Oxidative stress and inflammation are highly correlated and are both causes of joint disorders. In the synovial fluid and blood of osteoarthritis patients, erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme expression is decreased. To date, OA is a non-curable disease, treated mainly with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids for a prolonged period of time, which cause several side effects; thus, the search for natural remedies with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities is always ongoing. In this review, we analyze several manuscripts describing the effect of traditional remedies, such as Harpagophytum procumbens, Curcumin longa, and Boswellia serrata extracts, in the treatments of OA for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant activity. The effects of such remedies have been studied both in in vitro and in vivo models, considering both joint cells and erythrocytes.

Abstract
After several billions of years, nature still makes decisions on its own to identify, develop, and direct the most effective material for phenomena/challenges faced. Likewise, and inspired by the nature, we learned how to take steps in developing new technologies and materials innovations. Wet and strong adhesion by Mytilidae mussels (among which Mytilus edulis—blue mussel and Mytilus californianus—California mussel are the most well‐known species) has been an inspiration in developing advanced adhesives for the moist condition. The wet adhesion phenomenon is significant in designing tissue adhesives and surgical sealants. However, a deep understanding of engaged chemical moieties, microenvironmental conditions of secreted proteins, and other contributing mechanisms for outstanding wet adhesion mussels are essential for the optimal design of wet glues. In this review, all aspects of wet adhesion of Mytilidae mussels, as well as different strategies needed for designing and fabricating wet adhesives are discussed from a chemistry point of view. Developed muscle‐inspired chemistry is a versatile technique when designing not only wet adhesive, but also, in several more applications, especially in the bioengineering area. The applications of muscle‐inspired biomaterials in various medical applications are summarized for future developments in the field.

Abstract
Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG) are negatively charged extracellular polymeric substances that occur in biofilms from various environments. Yet, it remains unclear whether these polymers are acquired from the external environment or produced by microbes in the biofilm. To resolve this, we analyzed the presence of sGAGs in samples of an acidophilic biofilm collected from Sulfur Cave in Puturosu Mountain (Romania), an environment that is largely inaccessible to contamination. A maximum of 55.16 ± 2.06 μg sGAG-like polymers were recovered per mg of EPS. Enzymatic treatment with chondroitinase ABC resulted in a decrease of the mass of these polymers, suggesting the structure of the recovered sGAG is similar to chondroitin. Subsequent FT-IR analysis of these polymers revealed absorbance bands at 1230 cm-1, 1167 cm-1 and 900 cm-1, indicating a possible presence of polysaccharides and sulfate. Analysis of genomic sequences closely related to those predominant in the acidophilic biofilm, contained genes coding for sulfotransferase (an enzyme needed for the production of sGAG), which supports the hypothesis of microbial synthesis of sGAGs within the biofilm.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of articular cartilage is a three-dimensional network mainly constituted of entangled collagen fibrils and interfibrillar aggrecan aggregates. During the development of osteoarthritis (OA), the most common musculoskeletal disorder, the ECM is subjected to a combination of chemical and structural changes that play a pivotal role in the initiation and the progress of the disease. While the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathological remodelling of the ECM are considered as decisive, they remain, however, not completely elucidated. Herein, we report a relevant way for unravelling the role and nature of OA progress on human cartilage tissues, in terms of chemical composition and morphological and mechanical properties at the level of supramolecular assemblies constituting the cartilage ECM. For this purpose, we used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and developed an innovative methodological approach that provides the molecular composition of the ECM. Moreover, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to probe the tissues at the level of individual collagen fibrils, both imaging and force spectroscopy modes being explored to this end. Taken together, these nanoscale characterization studies reveal the existence of two stages in the OA progress. At the early stage, a marked increase in the aggrecan and collagen content is observed, reflecting the homeostatic chondrocyte activity that tends to repair the cartilage ECM. At the late stage, we observe a failed attempt to stabilize and/or restore the tissue, yielding significant degradation of the supramolecular assemblies. This suggests an imbalance in the chondrocyte activity that turns in favor of catabolic events. Chemical changes are also accompanied by ECM structural changes and stiffening. Interestingly, we showed the possibility to mimic the imbalanced activities of chondrocytes by applying enzymatic digestions of healthy cartilage, through the combined action of hyaluronidase and collagenase. This yields damage strictly analogous to that observed at high OA severity. These findings bring mechanistic insights leading to a better understanding of the mechanism by which OA is initiated and progresses in the cartilage ECM. They offer guidelines for the development of curative treatments, such as targeting the homeostatic balance of chondrocyte metabolism through the control of enzymatic reactions involved in catabolic processes.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and inflammatory disease with no effective regenerative treatments to date. The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) remains to be fully explored. Intra-articular injection of these cells promotes cartilage protection and regeneration by paracrine signaling and differentiation into chondrocytes. However, joints display a harsh avascular environment for these cells upon injection. This phenomenon prompted researchers to develop suitable injectable materials or systems for MSCs to enhance their function and survival. Among them, hydrogels can absorb a large amount of water and maintain their 3D structure but also allow incorporation of bioactive agents or small molecules in their matrix that maximize the action of MSCs. These materials possess advantageous cartilage-like features such as collagen or hyaluronic acid moieties that interact with MSC receptors, thereby promoting cell adhesion. This review provides an up-to-date overview of the progress and opportunities of MSCs entrapped into hydrogels, combined with bioactive/small molecules to improve the therapeutic effects in OA treatment.

Abstract
Case summary A 14-year-old male castrated Cornish Rex cat was referred for lethargy progressing rapidly to collapse in the hours following a subcutaneous injection of a product containing 100 mg/ml pentosan polysulfate sodium and 168 mg/ml glucosamine. Physical examination revealed the cat to be in hypotensive shock with swelling and interstitial oedema around the cranial thorax and caudal cervical regions without cutaneous haemorrhage. Initial diagnostics revealed a severe anaemia (packed cell volume 11%) which later deteriorated further, necessitating a blood transfusion and aggressive fluid therapy. Post-transfusion, the patient remained dyspnoeic and subsequent diagnostics found evidence of pre-existing cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. The cat was euthanased 24 h following presentation due to increasing dyspnoea. Post-mortem findings were of severe subcutaneous and intermuscular haemorrhage over the neck and thorax, among other changes. There were no detectable levels of coumarin anticoagulants in the liver. Relevance and novel information This is the first reported case of acute subcutaneous and intermuscular haemorrhage of this severity suspected to be related to the off-label use of an injectable product containing pentosan polysulfate in a cat. Given the popularity of its use for feline arthritis, there is a need for large-scale clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of products containing pentosan polysulfate for cats, and any side effects to be reported.

Abstract
Hydrogels consisting of a three-dimensional hydrophilic network of biocompatible polymers have been widely used in tissue engineering. Owing to their tunable mechanical properties, hydrogels have been applied in both hard and soft tissues. However, most hydrogels lack self-adhesive properties that enable integration with surrounding tissues, which may result in suture or low repair efficacy. Self-adhesive hydrogels (SAHs), an emerging class of hydrogels based on a combination of three-dimensional hydrophilic networks and self-adhesive properties, continue to garner increased attention in recent years. SAHs exhibit reliable and suitable adherence to tissues, and easily integrate into tissues to promote repair efficiency. SAHs are designed either by mimicking the adhesion mechanism of natural organisms, such as mussels and sandcastle worms, or by using supramolecular strategies. This review summarizes the design and processing strategies of SAHs, clarifies underlying adhesive mechanisms, and discusses their applications in tissue engineering, as well as future challenges.

Liquid combination of hyaluronan, glucosamine, and chondroitin as a dietary supplement for knee osteoarthritis patients with moderate knee pain: A randomized controlled study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e27405. [PMID: 34622845 PMCID: PMC8500584 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000027405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyaluronan (HA), glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate are widely consumed as dietary supplements for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of a dietary liquid supplement mixture containing HA, glucosamine, and chondroitin in patients with knee OA who had moderate knee pain (visual analogue scale of 4-6 points). METHODS This was a short-term, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Subjects were allocated to administer either a bottle of 20 mL supplement mixture (50 mg HA plus 750 mg glucosamine plus 250 mg chondroitin, namely A + HA) or placebo once daily for 8 weeks. Outcome measures included the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36), Chinese version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and incidence of adverse event were evaluated at the end of week 8. Efficacy analyses were conducted in the modified intent-to-treat population. RESULTS Of the 80 subjects in the modified intent-to-treat population, 39 received A + HA while 41 received placebo. After 8 weeks of treatment, the A + HA group failed to demonstrate a significant symptomatic efficacy and quality of life improvement in terms of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, SF-36, and Chinese version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index as compared to the placebo group. However, the mean changes in most of the SF-36 scale scores were numerically higher in the A + HA group than in the placebo group. No treatment-related adverse event was reported in both groups. CONCLUSIONS This present study found that the combination of liquid low molecular weight HA, glucosamine, and chondroitin oral supplement did not effectively improve knee OA pain and symptoms after short-term use in knee OA patients with moderate knee pain. However, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the intrinsic limitation of the study design.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is the primary cause of gouty arthritis and other metabolic disorders. Eggshell membrane (EM) is an effective and safe supplement for curing pain and stiffness connected with osteoarthritis. However, the effect of EM on hyperuricemia is unclear. This study determines the effects of EM on potassium oxonate-injected hyperuricemia. Uric acid, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen concentrations in the serum, and xanthine oxidase activity in the liver are measured. Protein levels of renal urate transporter 1 (URAT1), organic anion transporters 1 (OAT1), glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), and ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG2) in the kidney are determined with renal histopathology. The results demonstrate that EM reduces serum uric acid levels and increases urine uric acid levels in hyperuricemic rats. Moreover, EM downregulates renal URAT1 protein expression, upregulates OAT1 and ABCG2, but does not change GLUT9 expression. Additionally, EM does not change xanthine oxidase activity in the liver or the serum. EM also decreases uric acid uptake into oocytes expressing hURAT1. Finally, EM markedly reduces renal inflammation and serum interleukin-1β levels. These findings suggest that EM exhibits antihyperuricemic effects by promoting renal urate excretion and regulating renal urate transporters. Therefore, EM may be useful in the prevention and treatment of gout and hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Discovering compounds that promote health during aging ("geroprotectors") is key to the retardation of age-related pathologies and the prevention of chronic age-related diseases. In in-silico and model organisms' lifespan screens, chondroitin sulfate has emerged as a geroprotective compound. Chondroitin sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan attached to extracellular matrix proteins and is naturally produced by our body. Oral supplementation of chondroitin sulfate shows a high tolerance in humans, preferable pharmacokinetics, a positive correlation with healthy human longevity, and efficacy in deceleration of age-related diseases in randomized clinical trials. We have recently shown that chondroitin sulfate supplementation increases the lifespan of C. elegans. Thus, chondroitin sulfate holds the potential to become a geroprotective strategy to promote health during human aging. This review discusses the two major potential mechanisms of action, extracellular matrix homeostasis and inhibition of inflammation, that counteract age-related pathologies upon chondroitin sulfate supplementation.

The Hexosamine Biosynthetic Pathway as a Therapeutic Target after Cartilage Trauma: Modification of Chondrocyte Survival and Metabolism by Glucosamine Derivatives and PUGNAc in an Ex Vivo Model. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22147247. [PMID: 34298867 PMCID: PMC8305151 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22147247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) is essential for the production of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), the building block of glycosaminoglycans, thus playing a crucial role in cartilage anabolism. Although O-GlcNAcylation represents a protective regulatory mechanism in cellular processes, it has been associated with degenerative diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). The present study focuses on HBP-related processes as potential therapeutic targets after cartilage trauma. Human cartilage explants were traumatized and treated with GlcNAc or glucosamine sulfate (GS); PUGNAc, an inhibitor of O-GlcNAcase; or azaserine (AZA), an inhibitor of GFAT-1. After 7 days, cell viability and gene expression analysis of anabolic and catabolic markers, as well as HBP-related enzymes, were performed. Moreover, expression of catabolic enzymes and type II collagen (COL2) biosynthesis were determined. Proteoglycan content was assessed after 14 days. Cartilage trauma led to a dysbalanced expression of different HBP-related enzymes, comparable to the situation in highly degenerated tissue. While GlcNAc and PUGNAc resulted in significant cell protection after trauma, only PUGNAc increased COL2 biosynthesis. Moreover, PUGNAc and both glucosamine derivatives had anti-catabolic effects. In contrast, AZA increased catabolic processes. Overall, “fueling” the HBP by means of glucosamine derivatives or inhibition of deglycosylation turned out as cells and chondroprotectives after cartilage trauma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The function of bone is to protect the vital organs of the body. Mechanical strength, especially compressive strength, plays an important role in fulfilling its function. Fracture healing depends on several substances, such as collagen, glucosaminoglycane and proteoglycan. Chondroitin sulfate as part of proteoglycane is an important component in the formation of callus in fracture healing. The aim of this study is to prove chondroitin sulfate role in supporting fracture healing. METHODS The in vivo experiment has been performed to Rattus novergicus which met the inclusion criteria (age 3 months, 200-300 g weight), 18 males of R. norvegicus, Wistar strain, were divided into three equal groups of six rats each. After being anesthetized, fracturation was performed in a sterile manner to get simple fracture. The area of dissection is in half length of tibial bone and the fracture incision is about 1 cm. Then it followed by immobilization of the lower leg bone on one side with a cast. The first group was given chondroitin sulfate 7 mg in 2 mL distilled water/200 g weight for 2 weeks. The second group was given chondroitin sulfate 7 mg in 2 mL distilled water/200 g weight for 4 weeks. The third group was given distilled water. This research was focused on treatment of cartilage. The callus position is in half length of tibial bone. RESULTS There were significant differences in the increase of TGF-β, the number of osteoblasts and callus compressive strength in the groups with chondroitin sulfate treatment for 2 and 4 weeks, compared to the control group (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Administering chondroitin sulfate in a dose of 7 mg in 2 mL distilled water for 2 and 4 weeks may increase production of TGF-β, the osteoblast numbers and the callus compressive strength in fracture healing.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifaceted musculoskeletal disorder, with a high prevalence worldwide. Articular cartilage and synovial membrane are among the main biological targets in the OA microenvironment. Gaining more knowledge on the accuracy of preclinical in vitro OA models could open innovative avenues in regenerative medicine to bridge major gaps, especially in translation from animals to humans. Our methodological approach entailed searches on Scopus, the Web of Science Core Collection, and EMBASE databases to select the most relevant preclinical in vitro models for studying OA. Predicting the biological response of regenerative strategies requires developing relevant preclinical models able to mimic the OA milieu influencing tissue responses and organ complexity. In this light, standard 2D culture models lack critical properties beyond cell biology, while animal models suffer from several limitations due to species differences. In the literature, most of the in vitro models only recapitulate a tissue compartment, by providing fragmented results. Biotechnological advances may enable scientists to generate new in vitro models that combine easy manipulation and organ complexity. Here, we review the state-of-the-art of preclinical in vitro models in OA and outline how the different preclinical systems (inflammatory/biomechanical/microfluidic models) may be valid tools in regenerative medicine, describing their pros and cons. We then discuss the prospects of specific and combinatorial models to predict biological responses following regenerative approaches focusing on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)-based therapies to reduce animal testing.

Abstract
Articular cartilage regeneration is one of the challenges faced by orthopedic surgeons. Microcarrier applications have made great advances in cartilage tissue engineering in recent years and enable cost-effective cell expansion, thus providing permissive microenvironments for cells. In addition, microcarriers can be loaded with proteins, factors, and drugs for cartilage regeneration. Some microcarriers also have the advantages of injectability and targeted delivery. The application of microcarriers with these characteristics can overcome the limitations of traditional methods and provide additional advantages. In terms of the transformation potential, microcarriers have not only many advantages, such as providing sufficient and beneficial cells, factors, drugs, and microenvironments for cartilage regeneration, but also many application characteristics; for example, they can be injected to reduce invasiveness, transplanted after microtissue formation to increase efficiency, or combined with other stents to improve mechanical properties. Therefore, this technology has enormous potential for clinical transformation. In this review, we focus on recent advances in microcarriers for cartilage regeneration. We compare the characteristics of microcarriers with other methods for repairing cartilage defects, provide an overview of the advantages of microcarriers, discuss the potential of microcarrier systems, and present an outlook for future development. Translational potential of this article We reviewed the advantages and recent advances of microcarriers for cartilage regeneration. This review could give many scholars a better understanding of microcarriers, which can provide doctors with potential methods for treating patients with cartilage injure.

Abstract
Chronic pain (CP) is still one of the urgent problems of modern medicine. The paper provides a review of the main pharmacotherapeutic approaches from the standpoint of the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) guidelines. When preparing this material, the authors have analyzed the publications available in the resources: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and еLIBRARY. The paper presents the main pathogenetic mechanisms of pain syndrome development in osteoarthritis (OA), including synovial inflammation and associated immune disorders. It considers the types of development of pain syndrome and the main prognostic outcomes according the mechanism of pain, providing a rationale for the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/or chondroprotectors (CPs). In accordance with the ESCEO guidelines, it is noted that when starting OA therapy, CPs should be considered as the first step (in their long-term prescription and pharmaceutical quality), then NSAIDs should be added (topically), then (if ineffective) orally, by excluding patients with hip OA. It is known that the intramuscular administration of CPs (chondroitin sulfate (CS) in particular) can increase their bioavailability. The use of glucosamine sulfate (GS) is recommended for patients over 60 years of age. According to the recommendations of the 2019 ESCEO experts, CS and GS should be used as a disease-modifying OA drug from the first step and at all subsequent stages.

Abstract
Naringin is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in plants of the Citrus genus that has historically been used in traditional Chinese medical regimens for the treatment of osteoporosis. Naringin modulates signaling through numerous molecular pathways critical to musculoskeletal development, cellular differentiation, and inflammation. Administration of naringin increases in vitro expression of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin and extracellular signal-related kinase (Erk) pathways, thereby promoting osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation from stem cell precursors for bone formation. Naringin also inhibits osteoclastogenesis by both modifying RANK/RANKL interactions and inducing apoptosis in osteoclasts in vitro. In addition, naringin acts on the estrogen receptor in bone to mimic the native bone-preserving effects of estrogen, with few systemic side effects on other estrogen-sensitive tissues. The efficacy of naringin therapy in reducing the osteolysis characteristic of common musculoskeletal pathologies such as osteoporosis, degenerative joint disease, and osteomyelitis, as well as inflammatory conditions affecting bone such as diabetes mellitus, has been extensively demonstrated in vitro and in animal models. Naringin thus represents a naturally abundant, cost-efficient agent whose potential for use in novel musculoskeletal biotherapies warrants re-visiting and further exploration through human studies. Here, we review the cellular mechanisms of action that have been elucidated regarding the action of naringin on bone resident cells and the bone microenvironment, in vivo evidence of naringin’s osteostimulative and chondroprotective properties in the setting of osteolytic bone disease, and current limitations in the development of naringin-containing translational therapies for common musculoskeletal conditions.

[PMID: 33063931 PMCID: PMC7701562 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis has become one of the main diseases affecting the life of many elderly people with high incidence of disability, and local chronic inflammation in the joint cavity is the most crucial pathological feature of osteoarthritis. Astilbin is the main active component in a variety of natural plants such as Hypericum perforatum and Sarcandra glabra, which possess antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory effects. At present, there is no study about the protective effect of Astilbin for osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Astilbin in human OA chondrocytes and mouse OA model, which was established by surgery‐mediated destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM). In vitro, we found that Astilbin pre‐treatment inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced overproduction of inflammation‐correlated cytokines such as nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumour necrosis factor α (TNF‐α) and interleukin 6 (IL‐6), and suppressed overexpression of inflammatory enzymes such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX‐2). Astilbin, on the other hand, prevented the LPS‐induced degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) by down‐regulating MMP13 (matrix metalloproteinases 13) and ADAMTS5 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5). Moreover, by inhibiting the formation of the TLR4/MD‐2/LPS complex, Astilbin blocked LPS‐induced activation of TLR4/NF‐κB signalling cascade. In vivo, Astilbin showed the chondro‐protective effect in the surgical‐induced OA mouse models. In conclusion, our findings provided evidence that develops Astilbin as a potential therapeutic drug for OA patients.

Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used matrices for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based cartilage regeneration but often result in slow cartilage deposition with inferior mechanical strength. We recently reported a gelatin-based microribbon (μRB) scaffold, which contains macroporosity and substantially enhances the speed of cartilage formation by MSCs in 3D. However, our previous method cannot be used to fabricate different polymers into μRBs, and the effects of varying μRB compositions on MSC cartilage regeneration in 3D remain unknown. Here, we report a method that allows fabricating different polymers [gelatin, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and polyethylene glycol (PEG)] into μRB structures, which can be mixed in any ratio and cross-linked into 3D scaffolds in a modular manner. Mixing glycosaminoglycan μRBs with gelatin or PEG μRBs induced great synergy, resulting in fast cartilage deposition. After only 3 weeks of culture, leading mixed μRB composition reached high compressive strength on par with native cartilage. Such synergy can be recapitulated via exchange of soluble factors secreted by MSCs seeded in different μRB compositions in a dose-dependent manner. Tuning the ratio of mixed μRB compositions allowed further optimization of the quantity and speed of cartilage regeneration by MSCs. Together, our results validate mixed μRB compositions as a novel biomaterial tool for inducing synergy and accelerating MSC-based cartilage regeneration with biomimetic mechanical properties through paracrine signal exchange.

Abstract
The present work focuses on the application of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) in osteoporotic bone research. In order to demonstrate the benefit, the authors present concrete application examples of ToF-SIMS in three different areas of bone research. ToF-SIMS as a mass spectrometric imaging technique allows simultaneous visualization of mineralized and nonmineralized bone tissue as well as implanted biomaterials and bone implant interphases. In the first example, the authors show that it is possible to study the incorporation and distribution of different components released from bone filler materials into bone with a single mass spectrometric measurement. This not only enables imaging of nonstained bone cross sections but also provides further insights beyond histologically obtained information. Furthermore, they successfully identified several mass fragments as markers for newly formed cartilage tissue and growth joint in bone. Different modes of ToF-SIMS as well as different SIMS instruments (IONTOF's TOF.SIMS 5 and M6 Hybrid SIMS, Ionoptika's J105) were used to identify these mass signals and highlight the high versatility of this method. In the third part, bone structure of cortical rat bone was investigated from bone sections embedded in technovit (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) and compared to cryosections. In cortical bone, they were able to image different morphological features, e.g., concentric arrangement of collagen fibers in so-called osteons as well as Haversian canals and osteocytes. In summary, the study provides examples of application and shows the strength of ToF-SIMS as a promising analytical method in the field of osteoporotic bone research.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease associated to age or conditions that precipitate aging of articular cartilage, a post-mitotic tissue that remains functional until the failure of major homeostatic mechanisms. OA severely impacts the national health system costs and patients' quality of life because of pain and disability. It is a whole-joint disease sustained by inflammatory and oxidative signaling pathways and marked epigenetic changes responsible for catabolism of the cartilage extracellular matrix. OA usually progresses until its severity requires joint arthroplasty. To delay this progression and to improve symptoms, a wide range of naturally derived compounds have been proposed and are summarized in this review. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies have provided proof of principle that many of these nutraceuticals are able to exert pleiotropic and synergistic effects and effectively counteract OA pathogenesis by exerting both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and by tuning major OA-related signaling pathways. The latter are the basis for the nutrigenomic role played by some of these compounds, given the marked changes in the transcriptome, miRNome, and methylome. Ongoing and future clinical trials will hopefully confirm the disease-modifying ability of these bioactive molecules in OA patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether chitin microparticles (CMP), glucosamine-based polymers, have an anti-inflammatory response in a murine model of autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced in C57BL/6 mice by immunization with myelin antigens emulsified in complete Freund adjuvant. A standard clinical and histological method (Luxol Fast Blue staining) was used to validate the model and document the impact of CMP treatment. ELISA was used to determine the production of spleen cell cytokines and serum levels of anti-chitin antibodies. Flowcytometry was used to determine the percentage of regulatory lymphocytes. The relative expression of the breast regression protein 39 (BRP-39) gene was examined through real time-PCR amplification. Clinical signs were significantly improved in mice given CMP compared with untreated mice. Histological analysis of the spinal cord revealed that treatment significantly reduced demyelination. The levels of interferon-γ, interleukin-17, and tumor necrosis factor-α were also reduced; conversely, no significant change was detected in interleukin-10 level and regulatory T cell count. The CMP-fed mice showed lower BRP-39 expression compared with the control group. It was ultimately determined that CMP modulates immune responses which could indirectly alter the pathology of an injured central nervous system. The data suggests that CMP may be used as an effective and cheap oral therapeutic agent for multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
OA is quite common in companion animals, especially in large breed dogs and horses. Collagen, the most abundant protein of mammals, has specific connective tissue types for skin, bones, reticulate, basal lamina, bones, cell surfaces, while type II collagen (UC-II) forms the main structure of cartilage tissue. Even at the smaller dosages, UC-II has also been reported to be more effective than the glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements, which are the supplements most frequently used in the market. In this review, we summarize the effects of UC-II on joint health and function in health and disease conditions in companion animals.

Abstract
High-frequency near-infrared diode laser provides a high-peak output, low-heat accumulation, and efficient biostimulation. Although these characteristics are considered suitable for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment, the effect of high-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation in in vitro or in vivo OA models has not yet been reported. Therefore, we aimed to assess the biological effects of high-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte inflammation in an in vitro OA model. Normal Human Articular Chondrocyte-Knee (NHAC-Kn) cells were stimulated with human recombinant IL-1β and irradiated with a high-frequency near-infrared diode laser (910 nm, 4 or 8 J/cm2). The mRNA and protein expression of relevant inflammation- and cartilage destruction-related proteins was analyzed. Interleukin (IL) -1β treatment significantly increased the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) -1, MMP-3, and MMP-13. High-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation significantly reduced the IL-1β-induced expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MMP-1, and MMP-3. Similarly, high-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation decreased the IL-1β-induced increase in protein expression and secreted levels of MMP-1 and MMP-3. These results highlight the therapeutic potential of high-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation in OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of a chronic pain in elderly people. Old and very old age in itself is a risk factor of a comorbidity, which often limits the therapy specified in clinical recommendations. First of all, it concerns NSAID. In such situations, priority is given to chondroitin sulfate (CS) and glucosamine sulfate (GS) having the anti-inflammatory properties comparable with effects of NSAID. CS and GS also promote the delay in progression of degenerative processes and restoration of the structure of cartilaginous tissue. The drugs of CS and GS groups are Chondroguard and Sustaguard Artro having the considerable evidence-based efficacy and safety and also a polymodality of effects in patients with a combination of osteoarthritis and socially important diseases (atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus type 2, oncological diseases) and also geriatric syndromes (sarcopenia) and aging in general.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent rheumatic disease. During disease progression, differences have been described in the prevalence of chondroitin sulfate (CS) isomers. Marine derived-CS present a higher proportion of the 6S isomer, offering therapeutic potential. Accordingly, we evaluated the effect of exogenous supplementation of CS, derived from the small spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), blue shark (Prionace glauca), thornback skate (Raja clavata) and bovine CS (reference), on the proliferation of osteochondral cell lines (MG-63 and T/C-28a2) and the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). MG-G3 proliferation was comparable between R. clavata (CS-6 intermediate ratio) and bovine CS (CS-4 enrichment), for concentrations below 0.5 mg/mL, defined as a toxicity threshold. T/C-28a2 proliferation was significantly improved by intermediate ratios of CS-6 and -4 isomers (S. canicula and R. clavata). A dose-dependent response was observed for S. canicula (200 µg/mL vs 50 and 10 µg/mL) and bovine CS (200 and 100 µg/mL vs 10 µg/mL). CS sulfation patterns discretely affected MSCs chondrogenesis; even though S. canicula and R. clavata CS up-regulated chondrogenic markers expression (aggrecan and collagen type II) these were not statistically significant. We demonstrate that intermediate values of CS-4 and -6 isomers improve cell proliferation and offer potential for chondrogenic promotion, although more studies are needed to elucidate its mechanism of action.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis is a painful, chronic joint disease affecting man and animals with no known curative therapies. Palliative nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used but they cause adverse side effects prompting the search for safer alternatives. To address this need, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), glucosamine (GLU), and chondroitin sulfate (CS) with or without the NSAID carprofen. DESIGN Canine chondrocytes were propagated in microcarrier spinner culture and incubated with (1) control medium, (2) ASU (8.3 µg/mL) + GLU (11 µg/mL) + CS (20 µg/mL) combination for 24 hours; and/or carprofen (40 ng/mL). Cultures were next incubated with control medium alone or IL-1β (10 ng/mL) for another 24 hours. Production of PGE2, IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 (also known as CCL-2) were measured by ELISA. RESULTS Chondrocytes proliferated in microcarrier spinner culture and produced type II collagen and aggrecan. Stimulation with IL-1β induced significant increases in PGE2, IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 production. The increases in production were suppressed by carprofen as well as [ASU+GLU+CS]. The combination of carprofen and [ASU+GLU+CS] reduced PGE2 production significantly more than either preparation alone. The inhibitory effect of carprofen on IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 production was significantly less than that of [ASU+GLU+CS], whereas the combination did not reduce the production of these molecules significantly more than [ASU+GLU+CS] alone. CONCLUSIONS The potentiating effect of [ASU+GLU+CS] on low-dose carprofen was identified in chondrocyte microcarrier spinner cultures. Our results suggest that the combination of low-dose NSAIDs like carprofen with [ASU+GLU+CS] could offer a safe, effective management for joint pain.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play an important role in various biological activities. A lot of them are present in fish processing discards from abattoirs and fish processing industries which can serve as a valuable source of GAGs. We have, in this paper, isolated and characterized GAGs from fish processing discard (head) generated from the processing of Labeo rohita (L. rohita) and Piaractus brachypomus (P. brachypomus) and have determined their ability to promote osteogenic activity. Isolated GAGs showed higher amounts of chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) than heparan sulfate (HS). CS/DS from both the fish have a distinct disaccharide composition indicating differences in their structure. Biological activity, in terms of promoting osteogenesis, evaluated in MC3T3-E1 cells and primary cells of the calvaria showed that early mineralization, characterized by alkaline phosphatase staining and activity, and late mineralization, was supported by both the GAGs.

Multifaceted Protective Role of Glucosamine against Osteoarthritis: Review of Its Molecular Mechanisms. Sci Pharm 2019. [DOI: 10.3390/scipharm87040034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease resulting from cartilage degeneration and causing joint pain and stiffness. Glucosamine exerts chondroprotective effects and effectively reduces OA pain and stiffness. This review aims to summarise the mechanism of glucosamine in protecting joint health and preventing OA by conducting a literature search on original articles. Current evidence has revealed that glucosamine exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory factors (such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6) and enhancing the synthesis of proteoglycans that retard cartilage degradation and improve joint function. Additionally, glucosamine improves cellular redox status, reduces OA-mediated oxidative damages, scavenges free radicals, upregulates antioxidant proteins and enzyme levels, inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species, and induces autophagy to delay OA pathogenesis. In conclusion, glucosamine prevents OA and maintains joint health by reducing inflammation, improving the redox status, and inducing autophagy in joints. Further studies are warranted to determine the synergistic effect of glucosamine with other anti-inflammatory and/or antioxidative agents on joint health in humans.

Biochemical similarity between cultured chondrocytes and in situ chondrocytes by chemometric analysis from FTIR microspectroscopy. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 24:e00391.

Abstract
Background aims Fourier Transform Infrared Micro-spectroscopy (FTIRM) is an emerging tool that obtains images with biochemical information of samples that are too small to be chemically analyzed by conventional Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques. So, the central objective of this project was to study the biochemical similarity between articular and cultured chondrocytes by chemometric analysis from FTIRM. Methods Nine samples of knee articular cartilage were obtained; each sample was divided into two fragments, one portion was used for FTIRM characterization in situ, and from another part, chondrocytes were obtained to be cultured (in vitro), which were subjected to an FTIRM to characterize their biomolecular components. The FTIRM spectra were normalized, and the second derivative was calculated. From these data, principal component analysis (PCA) and a chemometric comparison between in situ and cultured chondrocytes were carried out. Finally, the biochemical mapping was conducted obtaining micro-FTIR imaging. Results FTIRM spectra of in situ and in vitro chondrocytes were obtained, and different biomolecules were detected, highlighting lipids, proteins, glycosaminoglycans, collagen, and aggrecan. Despite slight differences in the FTIR spectra, the PCA proved the organic similarity between in situ chondrocytes and cultured chondrocytes, which was also observed in the analysis of the ratios related to the degradation of the articular cartilage and collagen. In the same way, the ability of the FTIRM to characterize the molecular biodistribution was demonstrated. Conclusion The biochemical composition and biodistribution analysis using FTIRM have been useful for comparing cultured chondrocytes and in situ chondrocytes.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2019; 7:214. [PMID: 31552240 PMCID: PMC6743017 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2019.00214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2019] [Accepted: 08/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Chitosan is a natural polymer revealing an increased potential to be used in different biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering. It implies the evaluation of the organism response to the biomaterial implantation. Low-molecular degradation products, the chito-oligomers, are resulting mainly from the influence of enzymes, which are found in the organism fluids. Within this study, we have performed the computational assessment of pharmacological profiles and toxicological effects on human health of small chito-oligomers with distinct molecular weights, deacetylation degrees, and acetylation patterns. Our approach is based on the fact that regulatory agencies and researchers in the drug development field rely on the use of modeling to predict biological effects and to guide decision making. To be considered as valid for regulatory purposes, every model that is used for predictions should be associated with a defined toxicological endpoint and has appropriate robustness and predictivity. Within this context, we have used FAF-Drugs4, SwissADME, and PreADMET tools to predict the oral bioavailability of chito-oligomers and SwissADME, PreADMET, and admetSAR2.0 tools to predict their pharmacokinetic profiles. The organs and genomic toxicities have been assessed using admetSAR2.0 and PreADMET tools but specific computational facilities have been also used for predicting different toxicological endpoints: Pred-Skin for skin sensitization, CarcinoPred-EL for carcinogenicity, Pred-hERG for cardiotoxicity, ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOME for endocrine disruption potential and Toxtree for carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. Our computational assessment showed that investigated chito-oligomers reflect promising pharmacological profiles and limited toxicological effects on humans, regardless of molecular weight, deacetylation degree, and acetylation pattern. According to our results, there is a possible inhibition of the organic anion transporting peptides OATP1B1 and/or OATP1B3, a weak potential of cardiotoxicity, a minor probability of affecting the androgen receptor, and phospholipidosis. Consequently, these results may be used to guide or to complement the existing in vitro and in vivo toxicity tests, to optimize biomaterials properties and to contribute to the selection of prototypes for nanocarriers.

Abstract
Supplementation with cartilage constituents, such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and collagen peptide, are believed to reduce pain associated with joint disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we administered daily, 10 mg glucosamine or 100 mg chicken cartilage hydrolysate (CH) to SKG/Jcl mice, a model for spontaneous RA, for 5 weeks and evaluated their effects on RA development. In SKG mice, the administration of glucosamine had no reducing effect on RA score but suppressed the expression of Mmp13 and Col3a1 genes in articular cartilage. In contrast, administration of CH suppressed the RA score and levels of plasma interleukin-6 and interleukin-17 to half, although the differences were not significant. Mice administered with glucosamine also showed decreased bone strength of femur and these adverse effects could be eliminated when glucosamine was used in conjunction with CH. These results suggest that CH and glucosamine exert effects on different aspects in SKG mice.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate) is naturally found in many tissues and fluids, but more abundantly in articular cartilage and synovial fluid (SF). Hyaluronic acid (HA) content varies widely in different joints and species. HA is a non-sulfated, naturally occurring non-protein glycosaminoglycan (GAG), with distinct physico-chemical properties, produced by synoviocytes, fibroblasts, and chondrocytes. HA has an important role in the biomechanics of normal SF, where it is partially responsible for lubrication and viscoelasticity of the SF. The concentration of HA and its molecular weight (MW) decline as osteoarthritis (OA) progresses with aging. For that reason, HA has been used for more than four decades in the treatment of OA in dogs, horses and humans. HA produces anti-arthritic effects via multiple mechanisms involving receptors, enzymes and other metabolic pathways. HA is also used in the treatment of ophthalmic, dermal, burns, wound repair, and other health conditions. The MW of HA appears to play a critical role in the formulation of the products used in the treatment of diseases. This review provides a mechanism-based rationale for the use of HA in some disease conditions with special reference to OA.
