Abstract
Selenium plays a crucial role as a micronutrient, primarily exerting its biological functions through selenoproteins. It has been established that selenium deficiency adversely impacts cartilage development, leading to alterations in chondrocyte function. In regions with low selenium intake, endemic osteochondrosis has been documented, characterized by compromised growth plate and articular cartilage formation. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stands out as a pivotal angiogenic factor, with elevated levels contributing significantly to vascular invasion into chondrocytes. This VEGF-mediated invasion serves as a key signal, prompting morphological changes in the growth plate and initiating cartilage remodeling. In animal models, the selenium deficiency group exhibited heightened levels of the cartilage damage marker matrix metalloproteinases 13 (MMP13). This resulted in articular cartilage degeneration, accompanied by a substantial increase in VEGF expression within the growth plate and articular cartilage, as compared to the normal group. In a chondrogenic progenitor cell (CPC) differentiation model, insufficient selenium induced chondrocyte damage and upregulated inflammatory factors such as inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2). The selenium-deficient groups showed elevated expressions of VEGF, VEGFR2, MMP13, Collagen X, and Angiopoietin 1, accelerating the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which further promoted the development of cartilage-related diseases. Taken together, these findings provide novel insights for a better understanding of the role of low selenium in cartilage degeneration and angiogenesis. They shed light on the intricate influence of low selenium levels on the development of articular cartilage, emphasizing the interconnected pathways and processes involved.

The Long-term Efficacy of Total Knee Arthroplasty on End-stage Kashin-Beck Disease of the Knee in Highland Tibetan Areas Patients: A Retrospective Study with 10-Year Follow-up. Orthop Surg 2024; 16:1300-1307. [PMID: 38644516 PMCID: PMC11144507 DOI: 10.1111/os.14068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the established success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with end-stage osteoarthritis, there is a notable scarcity of research on its long-term outcomes in individuals suffering from end-stage Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). This retrospective study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes and effectiveness of clinical function, quality of life, and complications of TKA and end-stage KBD patients in Tibetan highland areas. METHODS The retrospective cohort included 43 KBD patients, comprising a total of 59 knees, who had undergone TKA at West China Hospital, Sichuan University between 2008 and 2021. Patients were subsequently followed up for a minimum of 3 years, and received rigorous radiological and clinical assessments at 3, 6, and 12 months post surgery, followed by annual examinations thereafter. The evaluation included various efficacy indices, including visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, hospital for special surgery (HSS) scores, functional score for adult Tibetans with Kashin-Beck disease (FSAT-KBD), and radiographic findings. Comparison of indicators within the same group was conducted using one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance or paired sample t-tests, whereas between-group differences were compared using an independent t-test. RESULTS Throughout the average follow-up duration of 10.8 years, patients experienced a substantial reduction in knee pain and noteworthy functional improvement. The VAS scores decreased significantly from 77.47 ± 4.12 mm before surgery to 10.91 ± 1.97 mm after surgery, indicating considerable alleviation of knee pain. The HSS scores improved markedly, increasing from 44.26 ± 4.95 preoperatively to 91.26 ± 4.37, indicating enhanced joint function. Similarly, the FSAT-KBD exhibited positive progression, increasing from 25.90 ± 3.12 to 36.95 ± 3.54. Importantly, at the last follow-up, none of the patients presented with periprosthetic infection, prosthesis loosening, or periprosthetic fracture. CONCLUSION At long-term follow-up, compared with patients in the preoperative period, patients in Tibetan highland areas with KBD of the knee who underwent TKA benefited from a significant reduction in pain, improvement in joint function, and satisfactory improvement in quality of life.

Abstract
We aimed to compare N-glycosylation proteins in Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) chondrocytes and normal chondrocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). KBD and normal iPSCs were reprogrammed from human KBD and normal dermal fibroblasts, respectively. Subsequently, chondrocytes were differentiated from KBD and normal iPSCs separately. Immunofluorescence was utilized to assay the protein markers of iPSCs and chondrocytes. Differential N-glycosylation proteins were screened using label-free strategies with LC-MS/MS. Bioinformatics analyses were utilized to interpret the functions of differential N-glycosylation proteins. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that both KBD-iPSCs and normal-iPSCs strongly expressed pluripotency markers OCT4 and NANOG. Meanwhile, chondrocyte markers collagen II and SOX9 are presented in KBD-iPSC-chondrocytes and normal-iPSC-chondrocytes. We obtained 87 differential N-glycosylation sites which corresponded to 68 differential proteins, which were constructed into 1 cluster. We obtained collagen type I trimer and 9 other biological processes; polysaccharide binding and 9 other molecular functions; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and 9 other cellular components from GO; the Pl3K-Akt signaling pathway and 9 other KEGG pathways; peroxisome and 7 other subcellular locations; and integrin alpha chain, C-terminal cytoplasmic region, conserved site and 9 other classifications of domain annotations, and 2 networks. FGFR3 and LRP1 are expressed at higher levels in KBD-iPSC-chondrocytes, while the expressions of COL2A1, TIMP1, UNC5B, NOG, LEPR, and ITGA1 were down-regulated in KBD-iPSC-chondrocytes. The differential expressions of these N-glycosylation proteins may lead to the abnormal function of KBD chondrocytes.

Identification of N-Glycoproteins of Knee Cartilage from Adult Osteoarthritis and Kashin-Beck Disease Based on Quantitative Glycoproteomics, Compared with Normal Control Cartilage. Cells 2022; 11:cells11162513. [PMID: 36010590 PMCID: PMC9406367 DOI: 10.3390/cells11162513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Glycoproteins are involved in the development of many diseases, while the type and content of N-glycoproteins in the cartilage of osteoarthritis (OA) and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) are still unclear. This research aims to identify N-glycoproteins in knee cartilage patients with OA and KBD compared with normal control (N) adults. The cartilage samples were collected from gender- and age-matched OA (n = 9), KBD (n = 9) patients, and N (n = 9) adults. Glycoproteomics and label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) obtained N-glycoproteins of KBD and OA. A total of 594 N-glycoproteins and 1146 N-glycosylation peptides were identified. The identified data were further compared and analyzed with Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Protein-Protein Interactions (PPI). Pairwise comparison of the glycoproteins detected in the three groups showed that integrin beta-1 (ITGB1), collagen alpha-1 (II) chain (COL2A1), collagen alpha-1 (VII) chain (COL7A1), carbohydrate sulfotransferase 3 (CHST-3), carbohydrate sulfotransferase 4 (CHST-4), thrombospondin 2 (THBS2), bone morphogenetic protein 8A (BMP8A), tenascin-C (TNC), lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP2), and beta-glucuronidase (GUSB) were significantly differentially expressed. GO results suggested N-glycoproteins mainly belonged to protein metabolic process, single-multicellular and multicellular organism process, cell adhesion, biological adhesion, and multicellular organism development. KEGG and PPI results revealed that key N-glycoproteins were closely related to pathways for OA and KBD, such as phagosome, ECM-receptor interaction, lysosome, focal adhesion, protein digestion, and absorption. These results reflected glycoprotein expression for OA and KBD in the process of ECM degradation, material transport, cell-cell or cell-ECM interaction, and information transduction. These key significantly differentially expressed N-glycoproteins and pathways lead to the degeneration and degradation of the cartilage of OA and KBD mainly by disrupting the synthesis and catabolism of basic components of ECM and chondrocytes and interfering with the transfer of material or information. The key N-glycoproteins or pathways in this research are potential targets for pathological mechanisms and therapies of OA and KBD.

Abstract
Ligament/tendon and cartilage injuries are clinically common diseases that perplex most clinicians. Because of the lack of blood vessels and nerves, their self-repairing abilities are rather poor. Therefore, surgeries are necessary and also widely used to treat ligament/tendon or cartilage injuries. However, after surgery, there are still many problems that affect healing. In recent years, it has been found that exogenous FGF2 plays an important role in the repair of ligament/tendon and cartilage injuries and exerts a synergistic effect with endogenous FGF2. Therefore, FGF2 can be used as a new type of biomolecule to accelerate tendon-to-bone healing and cartilage repair after injury.

Biomolecules 2020; 10:E1244.

Abstract
This review examines aggrecan's roles in developmental embryonic tissues, in tissues undergoing morphogenetic transition and in mature weight-bearing tissues. Aggrecan is a remarkably versatile and capable proteoglycan (PG) with diverse tissue context-dependent functional attributes beyond its established role as a weight-bearing PG. The aggrecan core protein provides a template which can be variably decorated with a number of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains including keratan sulphate (KS), human natural killer trisaccharide (HNK-1) and chondroitin sulphate (CS). These convey unique tissue-specific functional properties in water imbibition, space-filling, matrix stabilisation or embryonic cellular regulation. Aggrecan also interacts with morphogens and growth factors directing tissue morphogenesis, remodelling and metaplasia. HNK-1 aggrecan glycoforms direct neural crest cell migration in embryonic development and is neuroprotective in perineuronal nets in the brain. The ability of the aggrecan core protein to assemble CS and KS chains at high density equips cartilage aggrecan with its well-known water-imbibing and weight-bearing properties. The importance of specific arrangements of GAG chains on aggrecan in all its forms is also a primary morphogenetic functional determinant providing aggrecan with unique tissue context dependent regulatory properties. The versatility displayed by aggrecan in biodiverse contexts is a function of its GAG side chains.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is caused by overloading of joints and is characterized by inflammation-induced disruption of cartilage structure. Current treatment strategy aims to relieve inflammation and prevent further deterioration of joint function. However, how mechanical force leads to inflammation and deterioration of chondrocyte function still remains incompletely understood. To explore the force-regulated molecular mechanism, an in vitro hydraulic shear force experiment to simulate the condition of force loading was required. The result demonstrated that multiple cytokines and immune regulators, including interleukin 8, interferon β, TRAF1 and TNFAIP3, were significantly increased by shear force within two hours of treatment. Moreover, JAG1 and HES1 were drastically upregulated as well, suggesting that NOTCH1 signaling is activated by shear force. Short-term expression of NOTCH1 intracellular domain activated a similar set of cytokines, indicating that NOTCH1 responds to shear force and activates downstream genes. When incubated under the medium conditioned by NOTCH1-activated chondrocyte, osteoblasts expressed higher levels of interferon β and interferon λ. Together, our results indicated that NOTCH1 functions as a force sensor and promotes expression of cytokines and immune regulators from shear-force bearing chondrocytes.

Proteomic analysis of knee cartilage reveals potential signaling pathways in pathological mechanism of Kashin-Beck disease compared with osteoarthritis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:6824. [PMID: 32322000 PMCID: PMC7176695 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-63932-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2019] [Accepted: 04/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
The pathological mechanism of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD), an endemic osteoarthritic disease, remains to be poorly understood. This study was designed to identify signaling pathways and crucial proteins involved in the pathological mechanism of KBD compared with osteoarthritis (OA). The knee cartilage samples were collected from gender- and age-matched KBD (n = 9) and OA (n = 9) patients. After pre-processing, samples were labeled with Tamdem Mass Tags 6plex multiplex kit, and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Proteomic results were analyzed with gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and protein-protein interactions (PPI). The differential abundance proteins from KBD and OA were validated using western blot analysis. As a result, A total number of 375 proteins were identified to have differential abundance between KBD and OA, of which 121 and 254 proteins were observed to be up-regulated or down-regulated in KBD group. GO analysis shows that the differential abundant proteins are associated with cell junction and signal transducer activity from extracellular to intracellular. KEGG pathways enrichment and PPI network indicate four major pathways, including extracellular matrix -receptor interaction, focal adhesion, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Protein kinase B (Akt), and Ras signaling pathways were involved in the degeneration of cartilage. Moreover, integrins, laminins, NF-κB and other regulative molecules were found as crucial proteins. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that compared with OA, the differential abundance proteins and signaling pathways may contribute to the occurrence and development of joint damage in KBD. Further investigation of their regulative roles and interaction may provide new insights into the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic targets for KBD.

Semin Arthritis Rheum 2019; 50:198-208. [PMID: 31767195 DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2019.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2019] [Revised: 10/04/2019] [Accepted: 11/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Trauma- or osteoarthritis-related cartilage damage resulted in functional decline of joints and heavy burden of public health. Recently, the reparative role of mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSCs) in articular cartilage (AC) reconstruction is drawing more and more attention. OBJECTIVE To provide a review on (1) the locations and categories of joint-resident MSCs, (2) the regulation of chondrogenic capacities of MSCs, (3) the migratory approaches of MSCs to diseased AC and regulatory mechanisms. METHODS PubMed and Web of Science were searched for English-language articles related to MSC recruitment and migration for AC repair until June 2019. The presence of various MSCs in or around joints, the potential approaches to diseased AC` and the regenerative capacities of MSCs were reviewed. RESULTS Various intra- and peri-articular MSCs, with inherent migratory potentials, are present in multiple stem cell niches in or around joints. The recruitment and migration of joint-resident MSCs play crucial roles in endogenous AC repair. Multiple recruiting signals, such as chemokines, growth factors, etc., emerge during the development of AC diseases and participate in the regulation of MSC mobilization. Motivated MSCs could migrate into cartilage lesions and then exert multiple reparative potentials, including extracellular matrix (ECM) reconstruction and microenvironment modulation. CONCLUSION In general, AC repair based on endogenous MSC recruitment and migration is a feasible strategy, and a promising research field. Furthermore, endogenous AC repair mediated by native MSCs would provide new opportunities to efficient preventative or therapeutic options for AC diseases.

Expression and localization of the small proteoglycans decorin and biglycan in articular cartilage of Kashin-Beck disease and rats induced by T-2 toxin and selenium deficiency. Glycoconj J 2019; 36:451-459. [PMID: 31478096 DOI: 10.1007/s10719-019-09889-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2019] [Revised: 07/31/2019] [Accepted: 08/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic degenerative osteoarthropathy of uncertain etiology. Our study sought to identify a correlation between small proteoglycans decorin and biglycan expression and Kashin-Beck Disease. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the decorin and biglycan levels in cartilage specimens from both child KBD patients, and rats fed with T-2 toxin under a selenium-deficient condition. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to assess mRNA and protein levels of decorin and biglycan in rat cartilages, as well as in C28/I2 chondrocytes stimulated by T-2 toxin and selenium in vitro. The result showed that decorin was reduced in all zones of KBD articular cartilage, while the expression of biglycan was prominently increased in KBD cartilage samples. Increased expression of biglycan and reduced expression of decorin were observed at mRNA and protein levels in the cartilage of rats fed with T-2 toxin and selenium- deficiency plus T-2 toxin diet, when compared with the normal diet group. Moreover, In vitro stimulation of C28/I2 cells with T-2 toxin resulted in an upregulation of biglycan and downregulation of decorin, T-2 toxin induction of biglycan and decorin levels were partly rescued by selenium supplement. This study highlights the focal nature of the degenerative changes that occur in KBD cartilage and may suggest that the altered expression pattern of decorin and biglycan have an important role in the onset and pathogenesis of KBD.

Abstract
To perform a comprehensive analysis focusing on the biological functions and interactions of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD)-related genes to provide information towards understanding the pathogenesis of KBD.A retrospective, integrated bioinformatics analysis was designed and conducted. First, by reviewing the literature deposited in PubMed, we identified 922 genes genetically associated with KBD. Then, biological function and network analyses were conducted with Cytoscape software. Moreover, KBD specific molecular network analysis was conducted by Cytocluster using the Molecular Complex Detection Algorithm (MCODE).The biological function enrichment analysis suggested that collagen catabolic process, protein activation cascade, cellular response to growth factor stimulus, skeletal system development, and extrinsic apoptosis played important roles in KBD development. The apoptosis pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, and the glutathione metabolism pathway were significantly enriched in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway network, suggesting that these pathways may play key roles in KBD occurrence and development. MCODE clusters showed that in top 3 clusters, 54 of KBD-related genes were included in the network and 110 candidate genes were discovered might be potentially related to KBD.The 110 candidate genes discovered in the current study may be related to the development of KBD. The expression changes of apoptosis and oxidative stress-related genes might serve as biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of KBD.

Abstract
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic, chronic, and degenerative osteoarthropathy. Selenium (Se) deficiency plays important role in the pathogenesis of KBD. We aimed to screen Se-related gene from chondrocytes of patients with KBD. Whole-genome oligonucleotide microarrays were used to detect differentially expressed genes. qRT-PCR was used to confirm the microarray results. Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) was used to screen Se-related genes from differentially expressed genes. Gene Ontology (GO) classifications and network analysis of Se-related genes were constituted by STRING online system. Three hundred ninety-nine differentially expressed genes were obtained from microarray. Among them, 54 Se-related genes were identified by CTD. The qRT-PCR validation showed that four genes expressed similarly with the ones in the microarray transcriptional profiles. The Se-related genes were categorized into 6 cellular components, 8 molecular functions, 44 biological processes, 10 pathways, and 1 network by STRING. The Se-related gene insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2), insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), interleukin 6 (IL6), BCL2, apoptosis regulator (BCL2), and BCL2-associated X, apoptosis regulator (BAX), which involved in many molecular functions, biological processes, and apoptosis pathway may play important roles in the pathogenesis of KBD.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) causes articular cartilage destruction, initiating pain and inflammation in the joints, resulting in joint disability. Medications are available to manage these symptoms; however, their effects on the disease progression are limited. Loss of proteoglycans (PGs) was reported to contribute articular cartilage destruction in OA. Therapeutics approaches were previously studied in the animal models of OA. In the present study, we investigated the oral efficacy of four dosages of PGs (25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg), isolated from the bramble shark cartilage, in an animal model of OA. Indomethacin was used as a bioequivalent formulation. Primarily, the mass spectrum analysis of the purified PGs obtained from bramble shark cartilage revealed the presence of two unique peptides including AGWLSDGSVR and LDGNPINLSK, that showed sequence similarity with aggrecan core-protein and epiphycan, respectively. The levels of C-reactive protein and uric acid in the OA rats were reduced when treated with PGs. Histopathology analysis displayed less cartilage erosion and neovascularization in OA rats treated with PGs. The X-ray imaging presented higher bone density with 200 mg/kg dosage of PG treatment in OA rats. The expressions of the inflammatory modulators including TNF-α, IL-1β, MMP13, NOS2, IL-10 and COX-2 were found to be moderated with PG treatment. In addition, PG treatment maintained the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including SOD and catalase in the joint tissues with a higher GSH content, in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, our preliminary findings report the anti-osteoarthritic properties of PGs and recommend to evaluate its efficacy and safety in randomized trials.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms underlying osteoarthritis (OA) and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) remain poorly understood. Hypertrophic chondrocytes serve an important role in the development of both OA and KBD, whereas oxidative stress can contribute to the pathological progression of cartilage damage. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to detect altered expression of osteogenesis-related genes in hypertrophic chondrocytes, following treatment with 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1). ATDC5 cells were induced to develop into hypertrophic chondrocytes via Insulin-Transferrin-Selenium. The appropriate concentration and time of SIN-1 treatment was determined via MTT assay. Following hypertrophic chondrocyte stimulation with SIN-1, a liquid chip was analyzed using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was conducted on individual genes to validate the array-based data. Analyses of protein-protein interactions, gene ontology functions and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment of the differentially expressed genes were also performed. A total of 6 upregulated and 34 downregulated genes were identified, including the mothers against decapentaplegic homolog (Smad) family (Smad1-4), bone morphogenetic proteins and their receptors (Bmp2, Bmp3, Bmpr1α and Bmpr1β), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP2,−9 and−10). These genes are associated with collagen biology, transcriptional control, skeletal development, bone mineral metabolism, and cell adhesion. SIN-1 induced death of hypertrophic chondrocytes likely through TGF-β/Smad or BMP/Smad pathways. Oxidative-stress-dependent induction of abnormal gene expression may be associated with chondronecrosis in the cartilage of patients with OA or KBD.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an extremely prevalent age-related condition. The economic and societal burden due to the cost of symptomatic treatment, inability to work, joint replacement, and rehabilitation is huge and increasing. Currently, there are no effective medical therapies that delay or reverse the pathological manifestations of OA. Current treatment options are, without exception, focused on slowing down progression of the disease to postpone total joint replacement surgery for as long as possible and keeping the associated pain and joint immobility manageable. Alterations in the articular cartilage chondrocyte phenotype might be fundamental in the pathological mechanisms of OA development. In many ways, the changing chondrocyte phenotype in osteoarthritic cartilage resembles the process of endochondral ossification as seen, for instance, in developing growth plates. However, the relative contribution of endochondral ossification to the changing chondrocyte phenotype in the development and progression of OA remains poorly described. In this review, we will discuss the current knowledge regarding the cartilage endochondral phenotypic changes occurring during OA development and progression, as well as the molecular and environmental effectors driving these changes. Understanding how these molecular mechanisms determine the chondrocyte cell fate in OA will be essential in enabling cartilage regenerative approaches in future treatments of OA.

Abstract
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a chronic osteochondropathy. The pathogenesis of growth and development failure of hand of KBD remains elusive now. In this study, we conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) of palmar length-width ratio (LWR) of KBD, totally including 493 study subjects. Affymetrix Genome Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 was applied for genome-wide SNP genotyping of 90 KBD patients. Association analysis was conducted by PLINK. Imputation analysis was performed by IMPUTE against the reference panel of the 1000 genome project. Two SNPs were selected for replication in an independent validation sample of 403 KBD patients. In the discovery GWAS, significant association was observed between palmar LWR and rs2071358 of COL2A1 gene (P value = 4.68 × 10−8). In addition, GWAS detected suggestive association signal at rs4760608 of COL2A1 gene (P value = 1.76 × 10−4). Imputation analysis of COL2A1 further identified 2 SNPs with association evidence for palmar LWR. Replication study observed significant association signals at both rs2071358 (P value = 0.017) and rs4760608 (P value = 0.002) of COL2A1 gene. Based on previous and our study results, we suggest that COL2A1 was a likely susceptibility gene involved in the hand development failure of KBD.

Abstract
Background The treatment of elderly patients with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) remains clinically challenging, and clinical data are very lacking. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate pain and functional outcomes following total hip replacement in adult patients with severe KBD of the hip. Methods Twenty-two patients (32 hips) with KBD underwent primary hip replacement and were followed for at least 2 years. Radiographic and Clinical assessments were evaluated for each patient at 2 and 4 weeks and at 3, 6 and 12 months after the operation and annually thereafter. The efficacy index included the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Harris hip score, functional score for adult Tibetans with Kashin-Beck Disease (FSAT-KBD) and radiographic outcomes. Results The patients underwent a follow-up, and the mean follow-up time was 3.8 years. VAS scores significantly decreased within the first 6 months postoperatively. This decrease continued until the final follow-up (p < 0.01). This result was supported by a significant increase in the Harris and FSAT-KBD scores after the surgery (p < 0.01). At the final follow-up, there was no change in prosthesis positioning or radiographic evidence of prosthesis loosening. One case received impacted allograft bone croutons and had worn polyethylene components replaced after 6 years because the patient suffered severe pelvic and femoral osteolytic lesions postoperatively. Conclusions Hip replacement can relieve pain and improve joint function in treating severe KBD hip. Additional studies that are more extensive are needed to confirm the findings of our study.

Andrographolide enhances proliferation and prevents dedifferentiation of rabbit articular chondrocytes: an in vitro study. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2015; 2015:984850. [PMID: 25802548 PMCID: PMC4353662 DOI: 10.1155/2015/984850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2014] [Revised: 01/06/2015] [Accepted: 01/08/2015] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
As the main active constituent of Andrographis paniculata that was applied in treatment of many diseases including inflammation in ancient China, andrographolide (ANDRO) was found to facilitate reduction of edema and analgesia in arthritis. This suggested that ANDRO may be promising anti-inflammatory agent to relieve destruction and degeneration of cartilage after inflammation. In this study, the effect of ANDRO on rabbit articular chondrocytes in vitro was investigated. Results showed that not more than 8 μM ANDRO did no harm to chondrocytes (P < 0.05). DNA content and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) /DNA were, respectively, improved in ANDRO groups comparing to the control (P < 0.05). ANDRO could promote expression of aggrecan, collagen II, and Sox9 genes while downregulating expression of collagen I gene (P < 0.05). Furthermore, hypertrophy that may result in chondrocyte ossification could not be detected in all groups (P > 0.05). The viability assay, hematoxylin-eosin, safranin O, and immunohistochemical staining also showed better performances in ANDRO groups. As to the doses, 3 μM ANDRO showed the best performance. The results indicate that ANDRO can accelerate proliferation of rabbit articular chondrocytes in vitro and meanwhile maintain the phenotype, which may provide valuable references for further exploration on arthritis.

Abstract
In response to tissue injuries, terminally differentiated cells are reprogrammed to undergo dedifferentiation to gain mitogenic and metabolic properties. The dedifferentiated cells acquire an immature phenotype, proliferate actively, produce abundant extracellular matrix, and recruit circulating leukocytes via secretion of chemokines, contributing to tissue repair and/or fibrosis. However, this remodeling process is self-limiting, and in the later phase, the activated, dedifferentiated cells are reprogrammed to redifferentiate into a mature, quiescent phenotype. Currently, molecular mechanisms underlying this bidirectional pathological reprogramming remain elusive. It is known that the unfolded protein response (UPR) is induced at local tissues under pathological situations and affects cellular fate-survival or death. It is also known that the UPR is involved in cell differentiation and organogenesis during embryonic development. In this review, we describe a hypothesis for regulatory roles of the UPR in the pathological reprogramming of somatic cells (ie, cellular dedifferentiation and redifferentiation at the sites of injury).
