Epigenetic regulation of 15-lipoxygenase-1 expression in human chondrocytes by promoter methylation. Inflamm Res 2023; 72:2145-2153. [PMID: 37874359 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-023-01805-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) catalyzes the biosynthesis of many anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory lipid mediators and was reported to have protective properties in several inflammatory conditions, including osteoarthritis (OA). This study was designed to evaluate the expression of 15-LOX-1 in cartilage from normal donors and patients with OA, and to determine whether it is regulated by DNA methylation. METHODS Cartilage samples were obtained at autopsy from normal knee joints and from OA-affected joints at the time of total knee joint replacement surgery. The expression of 15-LOX-1 was evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The role of DNA methylation in 15-LOX-1 expression was assessed using the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-Aza-2'-desoxycytidine (5-Aza-dC). The effect of CpG methylation on 15-LOX-1 promoter activity was evaluated using a CpG-free luciferase vector. The DNA methylation status of the 15-LOX-1 promoter was determined by pyrosequencing. RESULTS Expression of 15-LOX-1 was upregulated in OA compared to normal cartilage. Treatment with 5-Aza-dC increased 15-LOX-1 mRNA levels in chondrocytes, and in vitro methylation decreased 15-LOX-1 promoter activity. There was no difference in the methylation status of the 15-LOX-1 gene promoter between normal and OA cartilage. CONCLUSION The expression level of 15-LOX-1 was elevated in OA cartilage, which may be part of a repair process. The upregulation of 15-LOX-1 in OA cartilage was not associated with the methylation status of its promoter, suggesting that other mechanisms are involved in its upregulation.

Abstract
As a lipoxygenase (LOX), arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase type B (ALOX15B) peroxidizes polyenoic fatty acids (PUFAs) including arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and linoleic acid (LA) to their corresponding fatty acid hydroperoxides. Distinctive to ALOX15B, fatty acid oxygenation occurs with positional specificity, catalyzed by the non-heme iron containing active site, and in addition to free PUFAs, membrane-esterified fatty acids serve as substrates for ALOX15B. Like other LOX enzymes, ALOX15B is linked to the formation of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs), and altered expression is apparent in various inflammatory diseases such as asthma, psoriasis, and atherosclerosis. In primary human macrophages, ALOX15B expression is associated with cellular cholesterol homeostasis and is induced by hypoxia. Like in inflammation, the role of ALOX15B in cancer is inconclusive. In prostate and breast carcinomas, ALOX15B is attributed a tumor-suppressive role, whereas in colorectal cancer, ALOX15B expression is associated with a poorer prognosis. As the biological function of ALOX15B remains an open question, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research related to ALOX15B.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cartilage tissue engineering has evolved as one of the therapeutic strategies for cartilage defect, which relies on a large number of viable chondrocytes. Because of limited availability of cartilage and low chondrocytes yield from cartilage, the need for an improve isolation protocol for maximum yield of viable cells is a key to achieving successful clinical constructs. This study optimizes and compares different protocols for isolation of chondrocytes from cartilage. DESIGN We employed enzymatic digestion of cartilage using collagenase II and trypsin. The chondrocytes yield, growth kinetics, aggrecan, and collagen type 2 (COL2) expression were evaluated. Collagen type 1 (COL1) mRNA expression was assessed to monitor the possibility of chondrocytes dedifferentiation. RESULTS Chondrocyte yield per gram of cartilage was significantly higher (P < 0.05) using collagenase II in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) compared with 0.25% trypsin. The number of chondrocyte yield per gram was higher in cartilage digested with collagenase in HBSS compared with Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium/F12; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Chondrocytes seeded at lower densities had shorter population doubling time compared to those seeded at higher density. Protein and gene expression of chondrocyte phenotype indicates the expression of aggrecan and COL2. The expression of COL1 was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in passage 3 compared with primary chondrocytes. The mRNA expression of chondrocyte phenotype was similar in primary and passaged one cells. CONCLUSIONS Collagenase in HBSS yield the highest number of viable chondrocytes and the isolated cells expressed chondrocyte phenotype. This protocol can be employed to generate large number of viable chondrocytes, particularly with limited cartilage biopsies.

Up-regulation of P21-activated kinase 1 in osteoarthritis chondrocytes is responsible for osteoarthritic cartilage destruction. Biosci Rep 2021; 40:221716. [PMID: 31868209 PMCID: PMC6954364 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20191017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2019] [Revised: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis is mainly caused by a degenerative joint disorder, which is characterized by the gradual degradation of articular cartilage and synovial inflammation. The chondrocyte, the unique resident cell type of articular cartilage, is crucial for the development of osteoarthritis. Previous studies revealed that P21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1) was responsible for the initiation of inflammation. The purpose of the present study was to determine the potential role of PAK1 in osteoarthritis. The level of PAK1 expression was measured by Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR in articular cartilage from osteoarthritis model rats and patients with osteoarthritis. In addition, the functional role of aberrant PAK1 expression was detected in the chondrocytes. We found that the expression of PAK1 was significantly increased in chondrocytes treated with osteoarthritis-related factors. Increased expression of PAK1 was also observed in knee articular cartilage samples from patients with osteoarthritis and osteoarthritis model rats. PAK1 was found to inhibit chondrocytes proliferation and to promote the production of inflammatory cytokines in cartilages chondrocytes. Furthermore, we found that PAK1 modulated the production of extracellular matrix and cartilage degrading enzymes in chondrocytes. Results of the present studies demonstrated that PAK1 might play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
AIMS Investigate the involvement of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), an anti-inflammatory molecule, on the beneficial effects of exercise therapy for osteoarthritis (OA). MAIN METHODS 15-HETE (10 μM, twice a week) and monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) (1 mg) were injected into rat knee joints. Treadmill exercise was applied on OA rat. Primary rat chondrocytes were treated with 15-HETE, LY294002 and interleukin (IL)-1β. Rats undergo a 1 hour single session treadmill exercise once. 15-HETE levels in the knee joint were evaluated using ELISA after a single session of treadmill exercise on healthy and OA rats. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)3, MMP-13, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif (ADAMTS)-5, p-Akt, Akt, and collagen type 2 (COL2) expression were evaluated using RT-PCR and western blotting. OA degree was evaluated using X-ray, scored by Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) and Mankin scores. COL2 and MMP-13 expression in articular was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. KEY FINDINGS Medium intensity exercise alleviated OA. 15-HETE levels after exercise was increased. 15-HETE inhibited IL-1β-induced inflammation in primary chondrocytes and increased p-Akt levels. LY294002 blocked the effect of 15-HETE in vitro. Finally, 15-HETE alleviated cartilage damage, inhibited MMP-13 expression, and increased COL2 expression in joint cartilage tissue. SIGNIFICANCE Treadmill exercise alleviates OA and increases 15-HETE levels in the knee joint, which suppresses inflammation in chondrocytes via PI3k-Akt signalling in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) is still a major clinical challenge due to the limited inherent healing capacity of cartilage. Recent studies utilising stem cells suggest that the therapeutic benefits of these cells are mediated through the paracrine mechanism of bioactive molecules. The present study evaluates the regenerative effect of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) conditioned medium (CM) on OA chondrocytes. The CM was collected after the SHED were cultured in serum-free medium (SFM) for 48 or 72 h and the cells were characterised by the expression of MSC and pluripotency markers. Chondrocytes were stimulated with interleukin-1β and treated with the CM. Subsequently, the expression of aggrecan, collagen type 2 (COL 2), matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) and the level of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers were evaluated. SHED expressed mesenchymal stromal cell surface proteins but were negative for haematopoietic markers. SHED also showed protein expression of NANOG, OCT4 and SOX2 with differential subcellular localisation. Treatment of OA chondrocytes with CM enhanced anti-inflammation compared to control cells treated with SFM. Furthermore, the expression of MMP-13 and NF-kB was significantly downregulated in stimulated chondrocytes incubated in CM. The study also revealed that CM increased the expression of aggrecan and COL 2 in OA chondrocytes compared to SFM control. Both CM regenerate extracellular matrix proteins and mitigate increased MMP-13 expression through inhibition of NF-kB in OA chondrocytes due to the presence of bioactive molecules. The study underscores the potential of CM for OA treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint disease, causing pain and disability. Previous studies have demonstrated the role of lipid mediators in OA pathogenesis. OBJECTIVES To explore potential alterations in the plasma lipidomic profile in an established mouse model of OA, with a view to identification of potential biomarkers of pain and/or pathology. METHODS Pain behaviour was assessed following destabilisation of the medial meniscus (DMM) model of OA (n = 8 mice) and compared to sham controls (n = 7). Plasma and knee joints were collected at 16 weeks post-surgery. Plasma samples were analysed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography accurate mass high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HR-MS) to identify potential differences in the lipidome, using multivariate and univariate statistical analyses. Correlations between pain behaviour, joint pathology and levels of lipids were investigated. RESULTS 24 lipids, predominantly from the lipid classes of cholesterol esters (CE), fatty acids (FA), phosphatidylcholines (PC), N-acylethanolamines (NAE) and sphingomyelins (SM), were differentially expressed in DMM plasma compared to sham plasma. Six of these lipids which were increased in the DMM model were identified as CE(18:2), CE(20:4), CE(22:6), PC(18:0/18:2), PC(38:7) and SM(d34:1). CEs were positively correlated with pain behaviour and all six lipid species were positively correlated with cartilage damage. Pathways shown to be involved in altered lipid homeostasis in OA were steroid biosynthesis and sphingolipid metabolism. CONCLUSION We identify plasma lipid species associated with pain and/or pathology in a DMM model of OA.

Abstract
Today the role of cytochrome P450 metabolites in inflammatory rheumatic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is still poorly understood. In this review we survey the current knowledge on cytochrome P450 metabolites in rheumatoid arthritis. The balance between CYP epoxygenase- and CYP ω- hydroxylase is correlated to the regulation of NF-κB. In RA patients synovial fluid there are higher levels of IL-6, which suppresses activities of CYP enzymes, such as CYP3A, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP1A2. EETs have anti-inflammatory effects, probably attributed to the PPARγ activation. EETs inhibit bone resorption and osteoclastogenesis, and can be considered as an innovative therapeutic strategy for rheumatoid arthritis. In reference to the CYP ɷ-hydroxylase pathway, 20-HETE is a pro-inflammatory mediator. While there is scarce information on the role of 20-HETE inhibitors and its antagonists in rheumatoid arthritis, the elevation of EETs levels by sEH inhibitors is a promising therapeutic strategy for rheumatoid arthritis patients. In addition, hybrid compounds, such as sEH inhibitors/FLAP inhibitors, or sEHI combined with NSAIDs/COXIBs are also important therapeutic target. However, studies investigating the effects of inflammation and rheumatic disease on CYP-mediated eicosanoid metabolism are necessary. Obtaining a better understanding of the complex role of CYP-derived eicosanoids in inflammatory rheumatic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis will provide valuable insight for basic and clinical researchers investigation.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 94:661-674. [PMID: 31521785 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2019.09.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Revised: 08/28/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The yellow drum Nibea albiflora is less susceptible to Cryptocaryon irritans infection than is the case with other marine fishes such as Larimichthys crocea, Lateolabrax japonicus, and Pagrus major. To investigate further their resistance mechanism, we infected the N. albiflora with the C. irritans at a median lethal concentration of 2050 theronts/g fish. The skins of the infected and the uninfected fishes were sampled at 24 h and 72 h followed by an extensive analysis of metabolism. The study results revealed that there were 2694 potential metabolites. At 24 h post-infection, 12 metabolites were up-regulated and 17 were down-regulated whereas at 72 h post-infection, 22 metabolites were up-regulated and 26 were down-regulated. Pathway enrichment analysis shows that the differential enriched pathways were higher at 24 h with 22 categories and 58 subcategories (49 up, 9 down) than at 72 h whereby the differential enriched pathways were 6 categories and 8 subcategories (4 up, 4 down). In addition, the principal component analysis (PCA) plot shows that at 24 h the metabolites composition of infected group were separately clustered to uninfected group while at 72 h the metabolites composition in infected group were much closer to uninfected group. This indicated that C. irritans caused strong metabolic stress on the N. albiflora at 24 h and restoration of the dysregulated metabolic state took place at 72 h of infection. Also, at 72 h post infection a total of 17 compounds were identified as potential biomarkers. Furthermore, out of 2694 primary metabolites detected, 23 metabolites could be clearly identified and semi quantified with a known identification number and assigned into 66 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Most of the enriched KEGG pathways were mainly from metabolic pathway classes, including the metabolic pathway, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, purine metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis. Others were glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism. Moreover, out of the identified metabolites, only 6 metabolites were statistically differentially expressed, namely, L -glutamate (up-regulated) at 24 h was important for energy and precursor for other glutathiones and instruments of preventing oxidative injury; 15-hydroxy- eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), (S)-(-)-2-Hydroxyisocaproic acid, and adenine (up-regulated) at 72 h were important for anti-inflammatory and immune responses during infection; others were delta-valerolactam and betaine which were down-regulated compared to uninfected group at 72 h, might be related to immure responses including stimulation of immune system such as production of antibodies. Our results therefore further advance our understanding on the immunological regulation of N. albiflora during immune response against infections as they indicated a strong relationship between skin metabolome and C. irritans infection.

Abstract
Background Pituitary adenoma accounts as a complex and multifactorial intracranial neoplasm with wide range of clinical symptoms which its underlying molecular mechanism has yet to be determined. The bioactive lipid mediators received attentions toward their contribution in cancer cell proliferation, progression and death. Amongst, 15-Lipoxygense (15-Lox) enzymes and products display appealing role in cancer pathogenesis which their possible effect in pituitary adenoma tumor genesis is perused in the current study. Methods The 15-Lipoxygenses isoforms expression level was evaluated in tumor tissues of prevalent functional and non-functional pituitary adenomas and normal pituitary tissues via Real-Time PCR. The circulating levels of 15(S) HETE and 13(S) HODE as 15-Lox main products were assessed in serum of patients and healthy subjects using enzyme immunoassay kits. Results Our results revealed that 15-Lox-1 and 15-Lox-2 expression levels were elevated in tumor tissues of pituitary adenomas comparing to normal pituitary tissues. The elevated levels of both isoforms were accompanied with 15(S) HETE and 13(S) HODE elevation in the serum of patients. The 15-Lox-1 expression and activity was higher in invasive tumors as well as tumors with bigger size indicating the possible pro-tumorigenic role of 15-Lox-1, more than 15-Lox-2 in pituitary adenomas. The diagnostic value of 15-Lipoxygense isoforms and products were considerable between patients and healthy groups. Conclusion The possible involvement of 15-Lipoxygense pathway especially 15-Lox-1 in the regulation of pituitary tumor growth and progression may open up new molecular mechanism regarding pituitary adenoma pathogenesis and might shed light on its new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The tumor immune landscape gained considerable interest based on the knowledge that genetic aberrations in cancer cells alone are insufficient for tumor development. Macrophages are basically supporting all hallmarks of cancer and owing to their tremendous plasticity they may exert a whole spectrum of anti-tumor and pro-tumor activities. As part of the innate immune response, macrophages are armed to attack tumor cells, alone or in concert with distinct T cell subsets. However, in the tumor microenvironment, they sense nutrient and oxygen gradients, receive multiple signals, and respond to this incoming information with a phenotype shift. Often, their functional output repertoire is shifted to become tumor-supportive. Incoming and outgoing signals are chemically heterogeneous but also comprise lipid mediators. Here, we review the current understanding whereby arachidonate metabolites derived from the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways shape the macrophage phenotype in a tumor setting. We discuss these findings in the context of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) expression and concomitant prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) formation. We elaborate the multiple actions of this lipid in affecting macrophage biology, which are sensors for and generators of this lipid. Moreover, we summarize properties of 5-lipoxygenases (ALOX5) and 15-lipoxygenases (ALOX15, ALOX15B) in macrophages and clarify how these enzymes add to the role of macrophages in a dynamically changing tumor environment. This review will illustrate the potential routes how COX-2/mPGES-1 and ALOX5/-15 in macrophages contribute to the development and progression of a tumor.

Abstract
15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LO-1) is involved in many pathological processes. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential role of 15-LO-1 in osteoarthritis (OA). The levels of 15-LO-1 expression were measured by western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR in articular cartilage from the OA rat models and OA patients. To further investigate the effects of 15-LO-1 on chondrocyte functions, such as extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion, the release of matrix-degrading enzymes, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell proliferation and apoptosis, we decreased or increased 15-LO-1 expression in chondrocytes by means of transfecting with siRNA targeting 15-LO-1 and plasmid encoding 15-LO-1, respectively. The results showed that 15-LO-1 expression was obviously increased in articular cartilage from OA rats and OA patients. It was also found that many factor-related OA, such as mechanical loading, ROS, SNP and inflammatory factor, significantly promoted 15-LO-1 expression and activity in chondrocytes. Silencing 15-LO-1 was able to markedly alleviate mechanical loading-induced cartilage ECM secretion, cartilage-degrading enzyme secretion and ROS production. Overexpression of 15-LO-1 could inhibit chondrocyte proliferation and induce chondrocyte apoptosis. In addition, reduction of 15-LO-1 in vivo significantly alleviated OA. Taken together, these results indicate that 15-LO-1 has an important role in the disease progression of OA. Thus 15-LO-1 may be a good target for developing drugs in the treatment of OA.

Deletion of 12/15-lipoxygenase accelerates the development of aging-associated and instability-induced osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2017; 25:1719-1728. [PMID: 28694081 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2017.07.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2016] [Revised: 06/23/2017] [Accepted: 07/01/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE 12/15-Lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) catalyzes the generation of various anti-inflammatory lipid mediators, and has been implicated in several inflammatory and degenerative diseases. However, there is currently no evidence that 12/15-LOX has a role in osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of 12/15-LOX in the pathogenesis of OA. METHODS The development of aging-associated and destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM)-induced OA were compared in 12/15-LOX-deficient (12/15-LOX-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice. The extent of cartilage damage was evaluated by histology. The expression of OA markers was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Cartilage explants were stimulated with IL-1α in the absence or presence of the 12/15-LOX metabolites, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (15-HETE), 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE) or lipoxin A4 (LXA4), and the levels of matrix metalloproteinases-13 (MMP-13), Nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were determined. The effect of LXA4 on the progression of OA was evaluated in wild type (WT) mice. RESULTS The expression of 12/15-LOX in cartilage increased during the progression of DMM-induced OA and with aging in WT mice. Cartilage degeneration was more severe in 12/15-LOX-/- mice compared to WT mice in both models of OA, and this was associated with increased expression of MMP-13, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs, aggrecanases (ADAMTS5), inducible NO synthases (iNOS), and mPGES-1. Treatment of cartilage explants with 12/15-LOX metabolites, suppressed IL-1α-induced production of MMP-13, NO and PGE2, with LXA4 being the most potent. Intra-peritoneal injection of LXA4 reduced the severity of DMM-induced cartilage degradation. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest an important role of 12/15-LOX in the pathogenesis of OA. They also suggest that activation of this pathway may provide a novel strategy for prevention and treatment of OA.

Abstract
The past two decades have witnessed major advancements in the clinical management of inflammatory arthritis, with new treatment strategies in some cases providing a marked improvement in patient outcomes. However, it is widely accepted that current strategies do not provide the 'total therapeutic solution', in view of the proportion of patients who do not respond to therapy, the important incidence of adverse effects and the development of an immune response against antibodies or fusion proteins used therapeutically. Moreover, although some therapeutic approaches can effectively bring about an end to inflammation, mechanisms to promote the recovery and/or repair of damage are required. Harnessing the concepts and mechanisms of the resolution of inflammation is a new approach to the treatment of inflammatory pathologies; this approach could help address the unmet need for new therapeutic approaches that not only control but also revert the course of inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
12/15-Lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) mediates the enzymatic oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, thereby contributing to the generation of various bioactive lipid mediators. Although 12/15-LOX has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple chronic inflammatory diseases, its physiologic functions seem to include potent immune modulatory properties that physiologically contribute to the resolution of inflammation and the clearance of inflammation-associated tissue damage. This review aims to give a comprehensive overview about our current knowledge on the role of this enzyme during the regulation of inflammation and immunity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN Resolvin D1 (RvD1), an omega-3 fatty acid derivative, has shown remarkable properties in resolving inflammation, promoting tissue repair and preserving tissue integrity. In this study, we investigated RvD1 effects on major processes involved in osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human OA chondrocytes were treated with either 1 ng/ml interleukin-1β (IL-1β) or 20 μM 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), then treated or not with increased concentrations of RvD1 (0-10 μM). RvD1 levels were measured by enzyme immunoassay in synovial fluids from experimental dog model of OA and sham operated dogs obtained from our previous study. Cell viability was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazoyl)-2,5-diphenyl-SH-tetrazolium bromide assay. Parameters related to inflammation, catabolism and apoptosis were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Glutathione (GSH) was assessed by commercial kit. The activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) pathways was evaluated by Western blot. RESULTS We showed that RvD1 levels were higher in synovial fluids from OA joint compared to controls. In OA human chondrocytes, we demonstrated that RvD1 was not toxic up to 10 μM and stifled IL-1β-induced cyclooxygenase 2, prostaglandin E2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, nitric oxide, and matrix metalloproteinase-13. Our study of signalling pathways revealed that RvD1 suppressed IL-1β-induced activation of NF-κB/p65, p38/MAPK and JNK(1/2). Moreover, RvD1 prevented HNE-induced cell apoptosis and oxidative stress, as indicated by inactivation of caspases, inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase release, and increased levels of Bcl2 and AKT, as well as GSH. CONCLUSION This is the first in vitro study demonstrating the beneficial effect of RvD1 in OA. That RvD1 abolishing a number of factors known to be involved in OA pathogenesis renders it a clinically valuable agent in prevention of the disease.

Abstract
The enzyme 12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX) oxidizes various free fatty acids, including arachidonic acid (AA). In the brain, the principal 12/15-LOX metabolites of AA are 12(S)-HETE and 15(S)-HETE. PPARγ is a nuclear receptor whose activation is neuroprotective through its anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigate the involvement of 12(S)- and 15(S)-HETE in the regulation of PPARγ following cerebral ischemia and their effects on ischemia-induced inflammatory response. We show here the increased expression of 12/15-LOX, predominantly in neurons, and elevated production of 12(S)-HETE and 15(S)-HETE in ischemic brain. The exogenous 12(S)- and 15(S)-HETE increase PPARγ protein level, nuclear translocation, and DNA-binding activity in ischemic rats, suggesting the activation of PPARγ. This effect was further confirmed by showing the increased PPARγ transcriptional activity in primary cortical neurons when incubated with 12(S)- or 15(S)-HETE. Moreover, both 12(S)- and 15(S)-HETE potently inhibited the induction of nuclear factor-κB, inducible NO synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2 in ischemic rats, and elicited neuroprotection. The reversal of the effects of 12(S)- and 15(S)-HETE on pro-inflammatory factors by PPARγ antagonist GW9662 indicated their actions were mediated via PPARγ. Thus, the induction of 12(S)- and 15(S)-HETE during brain ischemia suggests that endogenous signals of neuroprotection may be generated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) α, β, and γ, and hematopoietic and lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase (H- and L-PGDS) over the course of osteoarthritis (OA) in the spontaneous Hartley guinea pig and the anterior cruciate ligament transection dog models. METHODS Guinea pigs were sacrificed at 2 (control group), 4, 8, and 12 months of age (n = 5 per group). Non-operated (control) and operated dogs were sacrificed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postsurgery. Cartilage was evaluated histologically using the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) guidelines. The expression of PPAR-α, β, γ, and H- and L-PGDS was evaluated by real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. The nonparametric Spearman test was used for correlation analysis. RESULTS PPAR-α, β, and γ were detected in medial tibial plateau from control animals in both the spontaneous and surgical models. Levels of PPAR-α and β did not change over the course of OA, whereas PPAR-γ levels decreased during progression of disease. We also observed that the expression of H-PGDS remained unchanged, whereas L-PGDS increased over the course of OA. PPAR-γ levels correlated negatively, whereas L-PGDS levels correlated positively, with the histological score of OA. CONCLUSION The level of PPAR-γ decreased, whereas level of L-PGDS increased during the progression of OA. These data suggest that reduced expression of PPAR-γ may contribute to the pathogenesis of OA, whereas enhanced expression of L-PGDS may be part of a reparative process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current treatments for joint diseases are moderately successful, but unfortunately are associated with significant side effects. This study was undertaken to investigate the combination effects of IL-4 and prednisolone on tissue characteristics and production of matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1) in IL-lα-treated bovine nasal cartilage (BNC) explants. METHODS BNC explants were cultured in DMEM with IL-lα (10 ng/ml), IL-4 (50 ng/ml) and prednisolone (1 or 1,000 nM) at the same time for 28 days. At days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28, the media were collected and replaced with fresh media, and the removed media were stored at -20°C. The alterations of tissue characteristics were assessed by using histology techniques. Western-blot method was used to determine the effects of IL-4 and prednisolone combination on MMP-1 production. The cell viability was evaluated by using lactate dehydrogenase assay test. RESULTS In the presence of IL-lα alone, most chondrocytes were transformed into fibroblast-like morphology with pyknotic nuclei at day 28. In addition, a clear band of MMP-1 and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation were observed. In combination of IL-4 and prednisolone, chondrocytes preserved their ordinary normal features. MMP-1 band formation was completely inhibited and ECM absolutely showed normal characteristics. IL-4 and prednisolone did not show cytotoxicity effects on BNC explant culture. CONCLUSION This combination can strongly preserve cartilage from degradation features and the data possibly suggest that the combination of IL-4 and prednisolone could be a candidate for alternative therapy in joint diseases.

Egr-1 contributes to IL-1-mediated down-regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ expression in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes. Arthritis Res Ther 2012; 14:R69.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic properties and to be protective in animal models of osteoarthritis (OA). We have previously shown that interleukin-1β (IL-1) down-regulates PPARγ expression in human OA chondrocytes. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect have not been well characterized. The PPARγ promoter harbors an overlapping Egr-1/specificity protein 1 (Sp1) binding site. In this study, our objective was to define the roles of Egr-1 and Sp1 in IL-1-mediated down-regulation of PPARγ expression. METHODS Chondrocytes were stimulated with IL-1 and the expression levels of Egr-1 and Sp1 mRNAs and proteins were evaluated using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. The role of de novo protein synthesis was evaluated using the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX). The recruitment of Sp1 and Egr-1 to the PPARγ promoter was evaluated using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. The PPARγ promoter activity was analyzed in transient transfection experiments. The roles of Egr-1 and Sp1 were further evaluated using small interfering RNA (siRNA) approaches. The level of Egr-1 in cartilage was determined using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Down-regulation of PPARγ expression by IL-1 requires de novo protein synthesis and was concomitant with the induction of the transcription factor Egr-1. Treatment with IL-1 induced Egr-1 recruitment and reduced Sp1 occupancy at the PPARγ promoter. Overexpression of Egr-1 potentiated, whereas overexpression of Sp1 alleviated, the suppressive effect of IL-1 on the PPARγ promoter, suggesting that Egr-1 may mediate the suppressive effect of IL-1. Consistently, Egr-1 silencing prevented IL-1-mediated down-regulation of PPARγ expression. We also showed that the level of Egr-1 expression was elevated in OA cartilage compared to normal cartilage. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that induction and recruitment of Egr-1 contributed to the suppressive effect of IL-1 on PPARγ expression. They also suggest that modulation of Egr-1 levels in the joint may have therapeutic potential in OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most prevalent chronic human health disorders and the most common form of arthritis. It is a leading cause of disability in developed countries. This disease is characterized by cartilage deterioration, synovitis, and remodeling of the subchondral bone. There is not yet a satisfactory treatment to stop or arrest this disease process. Although several candidates for therapeutic approaches have been put forward, recent studies suggest that activation of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is an interesting target for this disease. PPARγ is a ligand-activated transcription factor and member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. Agonists of PPARγ inhibit inflammation and reduce synthesis of cartilage degradation products both in vitro and in vivo, and reduce the development/progression of cartilage lesions in OA animal models. This review will highlight the recent experimental studies on the presence of PPARγ in articular tissues and its effect on inflammatory and catabolic responses in chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts, as well as the protective effects of PPARγ ligands in arthritis experimental models. Finally, the role of PPARγ polymorphism in the pathogenesis of OA and related musculoskeletal diseases will also be discussed.

Abstract
Accumulating evidences have demonstrated the beneficial actions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) in a variety of animal stroke models. Following middle cerebral artery occlusion (60 min) and 2-24 hr reperfusion in rats, we observed cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced up-regulation of PPAR gamma protein expression and translocation from the cytoplasm into the nucleus in a time-dependent manner. We also found that PPAR gamma agonist rosiglitazone enhanced whereas PPAR gamma antagonist GW9662 inhibited the alteration of PPAR gamma stimulated by I/R, suggesting that the changes of PPAR gamma may result from the activation by endogenous ligands. Moreover, the link between the 12/15-lipoxygenase and the production of activating ligands for PPAR gamma has been proved in various tissues. However, the relation of them in brain tissue has not been identified. We demonstrated that the I/R-induced PPAR gamma alteration was reversed by baicalein, the specific inhibitor of 12/15-lipoxygenase. Baicalein treatment significantly inhibited the up-regulation of PPAR gamma expression and, furthermore, suppressed PPAR gamma nuclear accumulation as well as maintained PPAR gamma cytoplasmic retention. Together, these results suggest that I/R induces both PPAR gamma expression and translocation, probably through the activation by endogenous ligands in a 12/15-lipoxygenase inhibitor-sensitive way.
