Abstract
Algae and its metabolites have been a popular subject of research in numerous fields over the years. Various reviews have been written on algal bioactive components, but a specific focus on Antarctic-derived algae is seldom reviewed. Due to the extreme climate conditions of Antarctica, it is hypothesized that the acclimatized algae may have given rise to a new set of bioactive compounds as a result of adaptation. Although most studies done on Antarctic algae are based on ecological and physiological studies, as well as in the field of nanomaterial synthesis, some studies point out the potential therapeutic properties of these compounds. As an effort to shed light on a different application of Antarctic algae, this review focuses on evaluating its different medicinal properties, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and skin protective effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increased tissue expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) on Dupuytren contracture (DC). Genetic polymorphisms (single nucleotide polymorphism [SNPs]) in genes of these enzymes may individually influence these transcriptions. Haplotype analysis, which is the observation of a group of alleles, could be more useful to identify the association between SNPs and DC. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of MMP-1 g.-1607 G>GG (rs1799750), MMP-8 g.-799 C>T (rs11225395), and MMP-13 g.-77 A>G (rs2252070) SNPs individually and in haplotype on DC. METHODS A total of 60 patients with a clinical diagnosis of DC were evaluated and matched, according to age and gender, with the control group of 100 patients without this clinical diagnosis. Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva samples, and genotypes were obtained by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Statistical analysis of the results included Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-squared test, and PHASE and R software, with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS The 3 SNPs studied showed significant differences in allele and genotype frequencies between the groups: 2G in MMP-1 (P = .018; odds ratio [OR] 1.80 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-2.88)), T in MMP-8 (P = .015; OR 0.53 (95% CI, 0.33-0.88)), and A in MMP-13 (rs2252070) SNPs (P = .040, OR 0.54 (95% CI, 0.33-0.90)) are risk alleles. The global haplotype analysis indicated a significant difference between both groups. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, MMP-1 g.-1607 G>GG (rs1799750), MMP-8 g.-799 C>T (rs11225395), and MMP-13 g.-77 A>G (rs2252070) SNPs, individually and in haplotype, are a risk factor for DC, indicating that these SNPs may be a potential diagnostic and prognostic factor for DC.

Abstract
Achilles tendon (AT) pathologies are common musculoskeletal conditions that can significantly impair function. Despite various traditional treatments, recovery is often slow and may not restore full functionality. The use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has emerged as a promising therapeutic option due to their role in cell signaling and tissue regeneration. This systematic review aims to consolidate current in vivo animal study findings on the therapeutic effects of EVs on AT injuries. An extensive literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases for in vivo animal studies examining the effects of EVs on AT pathologies. The extracted variables included but were not limited to the study design, type of EVs used, administration methods, efficacy of treatment, and proposed therapeutic mechanisms. After screening, 18 studies comprising 800 subjects were included. All but one study reported that EVs augmented wound healing processes in the AT. The most proposed mechanisms through which this occurred were gene regulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the enhancement of macrophage polarization, and the delivery of therapeutic microRNAs to the injury site. Further research is warranted to not only explore the therapeutic potential of EVs in the context of AT pathologies, but also to establish protocols for their clinical application.

Boosting the therapeutic potential of cell secretome against osteoarthritis: Comparison of cytokine-based priming strategies. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 170:115970.

Abstract
The secretome, or conditioned medium (CM), from Mesenchymal Stem/stromal Cells (MSCs) has recently emerged as a promising cell-free therapeutic against osteoarthritis (OA), capable of promoting cartilage regeneration and immunoregulation. Priming MSCs with 10 ng/ml tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and/or 10 ng/ml interleukin 1β (IL-1β) aims at mimicking the pathological milieu of OA joints in order to target their secretion towards a pathology-tailored phenotype. Here we compare the composition of the CM obtained after 24 or 72 h from untreated and cytokine-treated adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs). The 72-hour double-primed CM presents a higher total protein yield, a larger number of extracellular vesicles, and a greater concentration of bioactive lipids, in particular sphingolipids, fatty acids, and eicosanoids. Moreover, the levels of several factors involved in immunomodulation and regeneration, such as TGF-β1, PGE2, and CCL-2, are strongly upregulated. Additionally, the differential profiling of 80 bioactive molecules indicates that primed CM is enriched in immune cell chemotaxis and migration factors. Our results indicate that pre-conditioning ASCs with inflammatory cytokines can modulate the composition of their CM, promoting the release of factors with recognized anti-inflammatory, chondroprotective, and immunoregulatory properties.

Abstract
Dupuytren's disease is a common fibroproliferative disease that can result in debilitating hand deformities. Partial correction and return of deformity are common with surgical or clinical treatments at present. While current treatments are limited to local procedures for relatively late effects of the disease, the pathophysiology of this connective tissue disorder is associated with both local and systemic processes (e.g., fibrosis, inflammation). Hence, a better understanding of the systemic circulation of Dupuytren related cytokines and growth factors may provide important insights into disease progression. In addition, systemic biomarker analysis could yield new concepts for treatments of Dupuytren that attenuate circulatory factors (e.g., anti-inflammatory agents, neutralizing antibodies). Progress in the development of any disease modifying biologic treatment for Dupuytren has been hampered by the lack of clinically useful biomarkers. The characterization of nonsurgical Dupuytren biomarkers will permit disease staging from diagnostic and prognostic perspectives, as well as allows evaluation of biologic responses to treatment. Identification of such markers may transcend their use in Dupuytren treatment, because fibrotic biological processes fundamental to Dupuytren are relevant to fibrosis in many other connective tissues and organs with collagen-based tissue compartments. There is a wide range of potential Dupuytren biomarker categories that could be informative, including disease determinants linked to genetics, collagen metabolism, as well as immunity and inflammation (e.g., cytokines, chemokines). This narrative review provides a broad overview of previous studies and emphasizes the importance of inflammatory mediators as candidate circulating biomarkers for monitoring Dupuytren's disease.

Abstract
Antibiotics had proved to be a godsend for mankind since their discovery. They were once the magical solution to the vexing problem of infection-related deaths. German scientist Paul Ehrlich had termed salvarsan as the silver bullet to treatsyphilis.As time passed, the magic of newly discovered silver bullets got tarnished with raging antibiotic resistance among bacteria and associated side-effects. Still, antibiotics remain the primary line of treatment for bacterial infections. Our understanding of their chemical and biological activities has increased immensely with advancement in the research field. Non-antibacterial effects of antibiotics are studied extensively to optimise their safer, broad-range use. These non-antibacterial effects could be both useful and harmful to us. Various researchers across the globe including our lab are studying the direct/indirect effects and molecular mechanisms behind these non-antibacterial effects of antibiotics. So, it is interesting for us to sum up the available literature. In this review, we have briefed the possible reason behind the non-antibacterial effects of antibiotics, owing to the endosymbiotic origin of host mitochondria. We further discuss the physiological and immunomodulatory effects of antibiotics. We then extend the review to discuss molecular mechanisms behind the plausible use of antibiotics as anticancer agents.

Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common entrapment neuropathy characterized by pain, numbness, and impaired function of the hand due to compression of the median nerve at the level of the wrist. Although CTS can develop from repetitive strain, injury, or medical conditions, there are also congenital and genetic risk factors that can predispose individuals to the condition. With respect to anatomical factors, some individuals are born with a smaller carpal tunnel, which increases their susceptibility to median nerve compression. Variations in specific genes, such as those encoding proteins involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, and nerve function, have also been linked to an increased risk for CTS. CTS is associated with a high cost of health care maintenance and loss of work productivity. Therefore, it is vital that primary care physicians fully understand the anatomy, epidemiology, pathophysiology, etiology, and risk factors of CTS, so they can be proactive in prevention, diagnosing, and guiding proper treatment. This integrated review also provides insights into how biological, genetic, environmental, and occupational factors interact with structural elements to determine who is most likely to acquire and suffer from CTS. Keeping health practitioners abreast of all the factors that could impact CTS should go a long way in decreasing the health care and socioeconomic burden of CTS.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a now regarded as a worldwide whole joint disease with synovial inflammation, cartilage degeneration, and subchondral sclerosis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used drugs for OA treatment which only relieve the symptoms and restrain the progression of OA. However, various severe adverse effects often occur in patients with long-term NSAIDs use, which heavily burdens the healthcare system and impacts the quality of life. Therefore, it is much imperative to identify alternative drugs with increased efficacy. Syringaresinol (Syr), a naturally occurring phytochemical which belonging to the lignan group of polyphenols, shows anti-tumor and anti-oxidant activities, which to benefit human health. Studies has shown Syr can regulate the inflammatory response by modulating the secretion and expression level of cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. it also shows the inhibitory effect on NF-κB pathway in mouse cells. In the present study, we aimed to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory effects of Syr in OA. In vitro Syr treatment in IL-1β-activated mouse chondrocytes significantly restrained the expression of NO, PGE2, IL-6, TNF-α, INOS, COX-2 and MMP-13. Moreover, it considerably ameliorated the degradation of aggrecan and collagen II. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of the NF-kB signaling pathway was significantly suppressed by Syr. Moreover, in vivo, the cartilage degeneration was attenuated and the increased Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scores were reversed in the DMM + Syr group, comprared to those in the DMM group. In sum, our study demonstrated that Syr can attenuate the inflammation in vitro and further verified its effect on OA in vivo. Thus, Syr might be a potent therapeautic alternative for OA treatment.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of zinc-dependent proteolytic enzymes associated with extracellular matrix protein turnover and tissue degradation. They participate to many different physiological reactions but are also hyperactivated in several diseases. Various literature studies have documented that MMPs play a role in the modulation of neuropathic and nociceptive pain. The heterogeneity of clinical and pre-clinical data is an important issue in this experimental context. Despite the presence of a good number of studies on MMP inhibitors, these drugs showed scarce efficacy and relevant side effects. In the present manuscript, we reviewed studies in the literature that define a possible role of MMPs in pain and the effects of their modulation.

Abstract
Objective We developed a novel multi-torsional mechanical stretch stress loading device for ligamentum flavum cells and evaluated its influence on the development of ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, a common cause of lumbar spinal canal stenosis. Materials and methods Stretch strength of the device was optimized by applying 5% and 15% MSS loads for 24, 48, and 72 h. A cytotoxicity assay of human ligamentum flavum cells was performed and the results were compared to control (0% stress). Inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-8), vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], and extracellular matrix (ECM)-regulating cytokines (matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-1, MMP-3 and MMP-9, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase [TIMP]-1 and TIMP-2) were quantified via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Using our multi-torsional mechanical stretch stress loading device, 5% stress for 24 hour was optimal for ligamentum flavum cells. Under this condition, the IL-6 and IL-8 levels, VEGF level, and MMP-1, MMP-3, and TIMP-2 were significantly increased, compared to the control. Conclusion Using the novel multi-torsional mechanical stretch stress loading device we confirmed that, mechanical stress enhances the production of inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic factors, and altered the expression of ECM-regulating enzymes, possibly triggering ligamentum flavum hypertrophy.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, sarcopenia, injury, stiffness, and bone loss. The prevalence of these conditions is frequent among elderly populations with significant mobility and mortality rates. This may lead to extreme discomfort and detrimental effect on the patient’s health and socioeconomic situation. Muscles, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissue are vital for body function and movement. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are regulatory proteases involved in synthesizing, degrading, and remodeling extracellular matrix (ECM) components. By modulating ECM reconstruction, cellular migration, and differentiation, MMPs preserve myofiber integrity and homeostasis. In this review, the role of MMPs in skeletal muscle function, muscle injury and repair, skeletal muscle inflammation, and muscular dystrophy and future approaches for MMP-based therapies in musculoskeletal disorders are discussed at the cellular and molecule level.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease with high economic burden characterized by cartilage degradation and joint inflammation. Evodiamine (EV), which can be extracted from Evodia rutaecarpa (Rutaceae), is a traditional Chinese medicine to treat inflammation, cardiovascular disorders, infection, and obesity. Studies have shown that EV can suppress the activation of immune cells and restrain the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, it is still not well known about its role in the treatment of OA. In this study, we utilized interleukin-1β (IL-1β)–stimulated mouse chondrocytes in vitro and the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) model in vivo to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory properties of EV in OA. The results suggested that EV decreased the generation of NO, IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2. Meanwhile, the increased expression of iNOS, COX-2, and MMP-13 and the degradation of aggrecan and Col-II were significantly alleviated by EV in IL-1β–activated mouse chondrocytes. Moreover, EV can inhibit the considerable IL-1β–stimulated phosphorylation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and nuclear translocation of p65, compared with the control group. Furthermore, EV alleviated cartilage degeneration and reversed the increased Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scores in the OA model in vivo. Our study demonstrates that EV can suppress inflammation in vitro and cartilage degeneration in vivo in OA, which implies that EV may be a potential candidate for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
A significant proportion of patients requiring musculoskeletal management present with tendon and ligament pathology. Our understanding of the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that lead to such disabilities is increasing. However, the complexity underpinning these interactive multifactorial elements is still not fully characterised. Evidence highlighting the genetic components, either reducing or increasing susceptibility to injury, is increasing. This review examines the present understanding of the role genetic variations contribute to tendon and ligament injury risk. It examines the different elements of tendon and ligament structure and considers our knowledge of genetic influence on form, function, ability to withstand load, and undertake repair or regeneration. The role of epigenetic factors in modifying gene expression in these structures is also explored. It considers the challenges to interpreting present knowledge, the requirements, and likely pathways for future research, and whether such information has reached the point of clinical utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The intra-articular immune response after ligamentous, meniscal, or focal chondral knee injuries likely plays a role in intra-articular healing and the onset and progression of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. PURPOSE To evaluate the association of synovial fluid cytokine concentrations measured at the time of knee arthroscopy with intermediate-term functional outcomes after knee arthroscopy based on the Lysholm score. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. Synovial fluid was aspirated from the injured knee immediately before surgical incision, and the concentrations of 10 cytokines were analyzed using immunoassay. Principal component regression was used to create a model to predict patient-reported Lysholm score at a minimum of 5 years postoperatively. Hierarchical clustering was performed to identify groups of patients with similar synovial fluid inflammatory phenotypes. Lysholm scores and cytokine concentrations were compared between clusters. RESULTS A total of 26 patients (mean age, 40.33 ± 16.40 years) were included in the analysis. The mean duration between surgery and follow-up was 6.69 ± 0.72 years. A model consisting of 2 principal components (PC1, PC2) explained 62.48% of the variance in the cytokine data and 52.03% of the variance in intermediate-term Lysholm score. Hierarchical clustering resulted in 3 patient clusters based on the principal components used in the regression model. Despite no baseline differences in Lysholm score, cluster 3 demonstrated significantly greater intermediate-term Lysholm score compared with cluster 2 (94.33 vs 76.09, respectively; 95% CI, 5.96-30.52; P = .006) and cluster 1 (94.33 vs 52.33, respectively; 95% CI, 24.09-59.91; P = .003). Cluster 3, when compared with the overall means, was characterized by greater PC1 value (1.01 vs 0.00, respectively; P = .030) and greater PC2 value (0.86 vs 0.00, respectively; P = .002). CONCLUSION The concentrations of select synovial fluid cytokines assessed at the time of knee arthroscopy can be used to explain more than half of the variance in intermediate-term functional outcomes.

Alpinetin Protects Chondrocytes and Exhibits Anti-Inflammatory Effects via the NF-κB/ERK Pathway for Alleviating Osteoarthritis. Inflammation 2021; 43:1742-1750.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease which is greatly affected by the inflammatory response triggered by the NF-κB signaling pathway. Alpinetin (APT) is a natural flavonoid compound, which has been reported to have many important biological activities such as antibacterial, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory. However, the action of its effect on chondrocytes in OA has yet to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated APT's anti-inflammatory action. The effects of APT on cell viability and cytotoxicity of rat chondrocytes was investigated by CCK8. Western blotting, qRT-PCR, and immunofluorescent staining were used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways of APT mediating anti-inflammatory effects on chondrocytes. An OA model was induced by destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) in rats, then APT was injected into the knee articular cavity to examine its anti-inflammatory effects in vivo. These results showed that APT could reduce the TNF-α-induced increase of MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 and decrease of COL2A1 levels. APT antagonized TNF-α-induced down-regulation of BCL-2 and CDK1. Further studies have shown that APT simultaneously repressed cell nucleus translocation of p65 and the phosphorylation of IκB and activated the phosphorylation of ERK. In vivo, APT suppressed cartilage matrix degradation. In conclusion, APT appears to favorably modulate anti-inflammatory effects in chondrocytes making it a promising compound for OA treatment. Graphical Abstract Inhibitory effects of Alpinetin on TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation resulted in destruction of cartilage in rat OA chondrocytes in vitro. The TNF-α receptor were stimulated by TNF-α, activating the cytoplasmic IκBα kinases(IKKS), then IKKs will be phosphorylated, and subsequently degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. NF-κB transfer to the nucleus and bind various NF-κB regulates the NF-κB recognition site in the promoter region. Which triggers the gene expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic. However, Alpinetin could inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway in different ways: APT inhibits IκBα phosphorylation, preventing phosphorylated ubiquitination of IκBα further. Moreover, APT blocks translocation of the activated NF-κB to the nucleus, to protect the cartilage tissue from damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Migration of cementoblasts to resorption lacunae is the foundation for repairing root resorption during orthodontic tooth movement. Previous studies reported that autophagy was activated by compression in periodontal ligament cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the migration of cementoblasts and determine whether autophagy is involved in the regulation of cementoblast migration under compressive force. METHODS Flow cytometry was employed to examine the apoptosis of murine cementoblasts (OCCM-30) at different compression times (0, 6, 12, and 24 hours) and magnitudes (0, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 g/cm2 ). Cell proliferation was examined using the CCK-8 method. Wound healing migration assays and transwell migration assays were performed to compare the migration of cementoblasts. Chloroquine (CQ) and rapamycin were used to inhibit and activate autophagy, respectively. The level of autophagy was determined using western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was assessed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blot analysis, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Cell apoptosis and proliferation did not significantly change in OCCM-30 cells under mechanical compression at magnitude of 1.5 g/cm2 for 12 hours. However, the migration of cementoblasts was significantly inhibited after the application of compressive force. MMP2, MMP9, and MMP13 mRNA expression was decreased, and MMP9 and MMP13 protein expression and secretion level were also decreased. Further, autophagic activity was inhibited in cementoblasts under compressive force. Treatment with chloroquine reduced the cellular migration, and rapamycin partially relieved the inhibition of cementoblast migration induced by the compressive force. MMP9 and MMP13 mRNA expression, protein expression, and secretion levels showed a similar trend. CONCLUSION Migration of OCCM-30 cells was inhibited under compressive force partially dependent on the inhibition of MMPs, which was mediated by downregulation of autophagy. The findings provide new insights into the role of autophagy in biological behaviors of cementoblasts under compressive force and a potential therapeutic strategy for reducing external root resorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotator cuff (RC) disorders involve a spectrum of shoulder conditions from early tendinopathy to full-thickness tears leading to impaired shoulder function and pain. The pathology of RC disorder is, nonetheless, still largely unknown. Our hypothesis is that a supraspinatus (SS) tendon tear leads to sustained inflammatory changes of the SS muscle along with fatty infiltration and muscle degeneration, which are threshold markers for poor RC muscle function. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of this muscle inflammation in conjunction with lipid accumulation and fibrosis in RC tear conditions. METHODS We used proteomics, histology, electrochemiluminescence immunoassay, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses to evaluate inflammatory and degenerative markers and fatty infiltration in biopsies from 22 patients undergoing surgery with repair of a full-thickness SS tendon tear. RESULTS Bioinformatic analysis showed that proteins involved in innate immunity, extracellular matrix organization, and lipid metabolism were among the most upregulated, whereas mitochondrial electronic transport chain along with muscle fiber function was among the most downregulated. Histologic analysis confirmed changes in muscle fiber organization and the presence of inflammation and fatty infiltration. Inflammation appeared to be driven by a high number of infiltrating macrophages, accompanied by elevated matrix metalloprotease levels and changes in transforming growth factor-β and cytokine levels in the SS compared with the deltoid muscle. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated massive SS muscle inflammation after the tendon tear combined with fatty infiltration and degeneration. The regulation of tissue repair is thus extremely complex, and it may have opposite effects at different time points of healing. Inhibition or stimulation of muscle inflammation may be a potential target to enhance the outcome of the repaired torn RC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is higher in women, and peaks around the age of menopause. Therefore, we investigated whether bilateral oophorectomy is associated with an increased risk of severe CTS. METHODS We included all of the 1,653 premenopausal women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy for a nonmalignant indication between 1988 and 2007, and a random sample of 1,653 age-matched referent women who did not undergo bilateral oophorectomy in Olmsted County, MN. Diagnoses of CTS assigned to women over their entire lifetime were identified in these two cohorts. The risk of de novo severe CTS after bilateral oophorectomy (or index date) was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS Bilateral oophorectomy was associated with an increased risk of severe CTS (adjusted hazard ratio 1.65, 95% confidence interval 1.20-2.25). The risk was suggestively greater in women with lower body mass index, nulliparity, and with a benign ovarian indication for oophorectomy (nonsignificant interactions). We did not observe a protective effect of estrogen therapy after the oophorectomy. The findings were similar in secondary analyses considering the incidence of CTS of any severity or idiopathic CTS. CONCLUSIONS The risk of severe CTS, common in perimenopausal women, is increased after bilateral oophorectomy. The association may be causal or due to confounding. Therefore, the precise biological mechanisms explaining the association and the absence of a mitigating effect of estrogen therapy should be further investigated.

Abstract
Background: Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) regulates chondrocyte hypertrophy and bone formation. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of HDAC4 on Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β)-induced chondrocyte extracellular matrix degradation and whether it is regulated through the WNT family member 3A (WNT3A)/β-catenin signaling pathway. Methods: Primary chondrocytes (CC) and human chondrosarcoma cells (SW1353 cells) were treated with IL-1β and the level of HDAC4 was assayed using Western blotting. Then, HDAC4 expression in the SW1353 cells was silenced using small interfering RNA to detect the effect of HDAC4 knockdown on the levels of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and MMP13 induced by IL-1β. After transfection with HDAC4 plasmids, the overexpression efficiency was examined using Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and the levels of MMP3 and MMP13 were assayed using Western blotting. After incubation with IL-1β, the translocation of β-catenin into the nucleus was observed using immunofluorescence staining in SW1353 cells to investigate the activation of the WNT3A/β-catenin signaling pathway. Finally, treatment with WNT3A and transfection with glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) plasmids were assessed for their effects on HDAC4 levels using Western blotting. Results: IL-1β downregulated HDAC4 levels in chondrocytes and SW1353 cells. Furthermore, HDAC4 knockdown increased the levels of MMP3 and MMP13, which contributed to the degradation of the extracellular matrix. Overexpression of HDAC4 inhibited IL-1β-induced increases in MMP3 and MMP13. IL-1β upregulated the levels of WNT3A, and WNT3A reduced HDAC4 levels in SW1353 cells. GSK-3β rescued IL-1β-induced downregulation of HDAC4 in SW1353 cells. Conclusion: HDAC4 exerted an inhibitory effect on IL-1β-induced extracellular matrix degradation and was regulated partially by the WNT3A/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of TRB-N0224, a chemically modified curcumin (CMC) with zinc binding properties and improved pharmacokinetics, in a rabbit anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection injury-induced model of osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN Thirty-eight skeletally mature New Zealand white rabbits were studied in 4 groups: a sham with arthrotomy (n = 6), control with ACL transection (n = 6), and 2 treatment groups with ACL transection and administration of TRB-N0224 at low (25 mg/kg/day) (n = 13) and high (50 mg/kg/day) (n = 13) doses. After euthanization at 12 weeks, outcomes were measured by post-necropsy gross morphology, biomechanics, and cartilage and synovium histology. Rabbit blood ELISA quantified cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) concentrations at 0, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. RESULTS Both treatment doses had fewer distal femoral condyle erosive defects than the control; the low dose demonstrated a mean 78% decrease (P < 0.01). Histologically, the low- and high-dose treatment groups had fewer cartilage pathologic changes and less severe synovitis than the control. CMC alone did not have a major effect on the biomechanics of healthy cartilage or cartilage in the ACL transection model, as demonstrated in 5 of the 6 measured properties/regions (P < 0.05). ELISA results suggested that the key mediators of OA, (interleukin) IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα (tumor necrosis factor-α), MMP-9, and MMP-13, had decreased concentrations with TRB-N0224 treatment at different time points between weeks 4 to 12 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In the pathogenesis of OA, an imbalance exists between catabolic and anabolic mediators. These results suggest the potential of TRB-N0224 to modulate MMP and cytokine levels, slowing the macroscopic and histopathological progression of OA.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to quantify the distribution of aligned and non-aligned collagen in cross-sections of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) and deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) in different levels of the distal forelimb of equines diagnosed with NS (Navicular Syndrome). Sixty equine forelimbs were collected. Was compared two groups (NA, Not affected vs. NS-group) by t-Student. Diagnosis of NS was based on clinical and lameness examination, diagnostic analgesia and radiological findings. The proportion of aligned and non-aligned collagens at 2 levels for the SDFT and 3 levels for the DDFT were measured by histochemical stains. The amount of aligned and non-aligned collagen in tendons were calculated using Colour-Based Segmentation function. Regarding collagen, there were significant differences in the amount of aligned collagen (NA: 21.2 ± 1.31; NS-group: 12.2 ± 4.67; p = 0.0026) and non-aligned collagen (NA: 21.8 ± 2.22; NS: 25.1 ± 1.73; p = 0.0241) at the DDFT insertion in the distal phalanx. We concluded that the flexor tendons of the forelimb in equines with NS have different proportions of collagen than those that do not present the diagnosis, indicated by histologically visible increased proportions of non-aligned collagen and decreased of aligned collagen in the extracellular matrix.

Anti-Osteoarthritic Mechanisms of Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum in MIA-Induced Osteoarthritic Rats and Interleukin-1β-Induced SW1353 Human Chondrocytes. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56120685. [PMID: 33321982 PMCID: PMC7762971 DOI: 10.3390/medicina56120685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Background and objectives: Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (CZ), which has traditionally been used as a oriental tea in Asia, is known to have anti-inflammatory effects in osteoarthritis (OA). But the mechanism of these effects has not been made clear and it needs to be elucidated specifically for the clinical use of CZE in OA. Materials and Methods: To reveal this mechanism, we first identified which biomarkers were expressed in the joints of rats in which OA had been induced with monosodium iodoacetate and determined whether CZ extract (CZE) could normalize these biomarkers in the progression of OA. The anti-osteoarthritis effect of CZE was evaluated for its capability to inhibit levels of extracellular matrix (ECM)-degrading enzymes and enhance ECM synthesis. We also sought to identify whether the marker compound of CZE, linarin, has anti-osteoarthritic effects in the human chondrosarcoma cell line SW1353. Results: The changes in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were remarkable: among them, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9 and MMP-13 were most strongly induced, whereas their expressions were inhibited by CZE dose dependently. The expressions of the ECM synthetic genes, COL2A1 and ACAN, and the transcription factor SOX9 of these genes were reduced by OA induction and significantly normalized by CZE dose dependently. SOX9 is also a repressor of ECM-degrading aggrecanases, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5, and CZE significantly reduced the levels of these enzymes dose dependently. Similar results were obtained using the human chondrosarcoma cell line SW1353 with linarin, the biologically active compound of CZE. Conclusions: These anti-osteoarthritic effects suggest that CZE has mechanisms for activating ECM synthesis with SOX9 as well as inhibiting articular ECM-degrading enzymes.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a long-term, chronic, progressive joint condition caused by a pathology characterized by the deterioration of joint cartilage and proliferation of subchondral bone. Myricitrin (Myr) is a flavonoid compound extracted from myrica rubra with potent anti-inflammatory properties, as demonstrated in various studies. However, the mechanisms by which Myr plays a protective role in OA are not completely understood. In this study, the anti-inflammatory properties and potential mechanisms of Myr on mouse chondrocytes treated with interleukin (IL) -1beta (β) were explored in vitro and the role of Myr in a mouse model of OA in vivo. The production of pro-inflammatory factors, such as IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and nitric oxide (NO) were assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the Griess reaction. Protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), Collagen-II, matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-13, MMP-3, thrombospondin motifs 5(ADAMTS5), inhibitor ofnuclear factor kappa-B (IκB), p-IκB, p65, p-p65, c-jun-terminal kinase (JNK), p-JNK, extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK), p-ERK, p38 and p-p38 were quantified using Western blot analysis. In the present study, we found that Myr inhibited IL-1β-induced production of NO and PGE2, expression of MMP-13, MMP-3 and ADAMTS5 and degradation of collagen-II in mouse chondrocytes. Mechanistically, Myr inhibited the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) treated with IL-1β in mouse chondrocytes. In vivo, Myr decreased OA Research Society International (OARSI) scores in a surgically-induced mouse model of OA. These data suggest that Myr could be developed as a potential therapyfor OA.

Abstract
Introduction: Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling of the intestinal tissue is important in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) due to the extensive mucosal remodeling. There are still gaps in our knowledge as to how ECM remodeling is related to intestinal epithelium homeostasis and healing of the intestinal mucosa.Areas covered: The aim of this review is to highlight the importance of the ECM in relation to the pathogenesis of IBD, while addressing basement membrane and interstitial matrix remodeling, and the processes of wound healing of the intestinal tissue in IBD.Expert opinion: In IBD, basement membrane remodeling may reflect the integrity of the intestinal epithelial-cell homeostasis. The interstitial matrix remodeling is associated with deep inflammation such as the transmural inflammation as seen in fistulas and intestinal fibrosis leading to fibrostenotic strictures, in patients with CD. The interplay between wound healing processes and ECM remodeling also affects the tissue homeostasis in IBD. The interstitial matrix, produced by fibroblasts, holds a very different biology as compared to the epithelial basement membrane in IBD. In combination with integration of wound healing, quantifying the interplay between damage and repair to these sub compartments may provide essential information in IBD patient profiling, mucosal healing and disease management.

Abstract
Since the 1980s, deep and extensive skin wounds and burns are treated with autologous split-thickness skin grafts, or cultured epidermal autografts, when donor sites are limited. However, the clinical use of cultured epidermal autografts often remains unsatisfactory because of poor engraftment rates, altered wound healing, and reduced skin functionality. In the past few decades, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have raised much attention because of their anti-inflammatory, protrophic, and pro-remodeling capacities. More specifically, gingival MSCs have been shown to possess enhanced wound healing properties compared with other tissue sources. Growing evidence also indicates that MSC priming could potentiate therapeutic effects in diverse in vitro and in vivo models of skin trauma. In this study, we found that IL-1β-primed gingival MSCs promoted cell migration, dermal-epidermal junction formation, and inflammation reduction in vitro, as well as improved epidermal substitute engraftment in vivo. IL-1β-primed gingival MSCs had different secretory profiles from naive gingival MSCs, characterized by an overexpression of transforming growth factor-β and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) pathway agonists. Eventually, MMP-1, MMP-9, and transforming growth factor-β1 appeared to be critically involved in IL-1β-primed gingival MSC mechanisms of action.

Abstract
It has been reported that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are induced by many cytokines, and they are involved in various inflammatory processes, including periodontitis. However, the effects of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on MMP-9 expression in cementoblasts, the cells responsible for cementum production, remain largely unknown. In this study, we used qPCR and gelatin zymogram analysis to show that IL-1β upregulated MMP-9 expression in cementoblast-derived cell line. Several signaling pathways, such as ERK1/2, JNK, p38, and AP-1 (c-Fos and ATF-2), were activated in response to IL-1β stimulation. Furthermore, enhancement of AP-1 activity by IL-1β was further confirmed by the AP-1 reporter assay and the electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Pretreatment with specific inhibitors of ERK1/2 (U0126), JNK (SP600125), and AP-1 (tanshinone IIA) attenuated IL-1β-induced MMP-9 expression. In addition, inhibitors of ERK1/2 (U0126) and JNK (SP600125) attenuated IL-1β-enhanced AP-1 activity. This suggested that IL-1β stimulated AP-1 activation, at least partially, through ERK1/2 and JNK signaling pathways. Moreover, we found that IL-1β also upregulated the expression of MMP-13 and enhanced MMP-mediated degradation of type I collagen. Collectively, these results suggested that IL-1β induced MMP-9 expression by activation of AP-1 through the ERK1/2 and JNK signaling pathways in cementoblast-derived cell line and enhanced MMP-mediated collagen degradation possibly by MMP-13 and MMP-9.

Abstract
Background Increased tendon pain and tendon damage is a significant complication related to hyperlipidemia. Unlike the well-established pathogenesis associated with increased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, the role of hyperlipidemia in promoting tendon damage remains controversial and requires mechanistic clarity. Methods In this study, we analyzed the consequences of hypercholesterolemia on the integrity of the collagen-based architecture of the Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendons from rabbits fed with normal-cholesterol (nCH) and high-cholesterol (hCH) diets were analyzed. We studied the morphology of tendons, distribution of lipids within their collagen-rich milieu, the relative amounts of fibrillar collagen I and collagen III, and selected biomechanical parameters of the tendons at the macroscale and the nanoscale. Results Histological assays of hCH tendons and tenosynovium demonstrated hypercellular areas with increased numbers of macrophages infiltrating the tendon structure as compared to the nCH tendons. While Oil Red staining revealed lipid-rich deposits in the hCH tendons, hybridization of tendon tissue with the collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) demonstrated damage to the collagen fibers. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra showed the presence of distinct peaks consistent with the presence of cholesterol ester. Additionally, the hCH tendons displayed regions of poor collagen content that overlapped with lipid-rich regions. The hCH tendons had a substantial fourfold increase in the collage III to collagen I ratio as compared to the nCH tendons. Tendons from the hCH rabbits showed poor biomechanical characteristics in comparison with control. The biomechanical changes were evident at the macrolevel and the nanolevel of tendon structure. Conclusions Our findings support the hypothesis that hypercholesterolemia coincides with the weakening of the tendons. It is likely that the intimate contact between collagen fibrils and cholesterol deposits contributes to the weakening of the fibrillar structure of the tendons.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyse VEGFA rs699947, rs1570360, and rs2010963 polymorphisms with susceptibility to anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR) in a Polish population. The study included 412 physically active Caucasian participants. The study group consisted of 222 individuals with surgically diagnosed primary ACLR qualified for ligament reconstruction (ACLR group). The control group consisted of 190 apparently healthy participants without any history of ACLR (CON group). Three polymorphisms within the VEGFA (rs699947, rs1570360, and rs2010963) gene were chosen for investigation due to their significance in the angiogenesis signalling pathway and previous associations with risk of ACLRs. Both single-locus and haplotype-based analyses were conducted. No significant differences in the allele and genotype frequency distributions were noted for the rs699947 and rs1570360 polymorphisms. In contrast, rs2010963 was associated with risk of ACLR in the codominant (p=0.047) and recessive model (p=0.017). In the latter, the CC genotype was overrepresented among individuals with ACL rupture (23.4% vs 14.2%, OR=1.85 [1.11-3.08]). Two VEGFA haplotypes were associated with ACLR under the additive (global score=11.39, p=0.022) and dominant model (global score=11.61, p=0.020). The [C;G;G] haplotype was underrepresented in the ACLR group (52.2% vs. 60.3%), whereas the [C;G;C] haplotype was overrepresented (2.9% vs 0.5%). The results obtained suggest a potential correlation between the VEGFA rs2010963 polymorphism and ACLR risk, suggesting that harbouring this specific C allele may be an unfavourable risk factor for a knee injury in Caucasian participants from Poland.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the treatment effects of laser photobiomodulation (LPBM) therapy and aerobic exercise on the biomechanical properties, tissue morphology and the expression of tendon matrix molecules during early remodeling of Achilles tendon (AT) injury in diabetic rats. Animals were randomly assigned to five groups: injured non diabetic (I, n = 15), injured diabetic (ID, n = 15), injured diabetic plus LPBM (IDL, n = 16), injured diabetic plus aerobic exercise (IDE, n = 16) and injured diabetic plus aerobic exercise and LPBM (IDEAL, n = 17). Type 1 diabetes was induced via a single intravenous injection of Streptozotocin at a dose of 40 mg/kg. A partial tenotomy was performed in the right AT. LPBM was performed with an indium-gallium-aluminum-phosphide 660 nm 10 mW laser device (spot size 0.04 cm2, power density 250 mW/cm2, irradiation duration 16 s, energy 0.16 J, energy density 4 J/cm2) on alternate days for a total of 9 sessions over 3 weeks (total energy 1.44 J), using a stationary contact technique to a single point over the dorsal aspect of the AT. Moderate aerobic exercise was performed on a motorized treadmill (velocity 9 m/min for 60 minutes). At 3 weeks post-injury, biomechanical analyzes as well as assessment of fibroblast number and orientation were performed. Collagen 1 (Col1) and 3 (Col3) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) -3 and 13 protein distributions were studied by immunohistochemistry; while Col1 and Col3 and MMP-2 and 9 gene expression were assessed by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). IDEAL exhibited significant increases in several biomechanical parameters in comparison to the other groups. Moreover, IDEAL presented stronger Col1 immunoreactivity when compared to ID, and weaker Col3 immunoreactivity than IDE. Both IDL and IDEAL demonstrated weaker expression of MMP-3 in comparison to I, while IDL presented no expression of MMP-13 when compared to ID. ID, IDL and IDE showed an increased number of fibroblasts in comparison to I, while IDEAL decreased the number of these cells in comparison to ID and IDE. IDL and IDEAL groups exhibited decreased angular dispersion among the fibroblasts when compared to I. The gene expression results showed that IDE demonstrated a downregulation in Col1 mRNA expression in comparison to I and ID. IDEAL demonstrated upregulation of Col1 mRNA expression when compared to IDL or IDE alone and increased MMP-2 expression when compared to IDL and IDE. MMP-9 expression was upregulated in IDEAL when compared to I, IDL and IDE. Our results suggest a beneficial interaction of combining both treatment strategies i.e., aerobic exercise and LPBM, on the biomechanical properties, tissue morphology and the expression of matrix molecules in diabetic tendons.

Are MMP3, MMP8 and TIMP2 gene variants associated with anterior cruciate ligament rupture susceptibility? J Sci Med Sport 2019; 22:753-757. [PMID: 30755371 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsams.2019.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2018] [Revised: 01/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/22/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR) is a common and severe knee injury which typically occurs as a result of sports participation, primarily via a non-contact mechanism. A number of extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors, including genetics, have been identified thus far. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteases (TIMPs) play a crucial role in extracellular matrix remodeling of ligaments and therefore the genes encoding MMPs and TIMPs are plausible candidates for investigation with ACL rupture risk. DESIGN A case-control genetic association study was conducted on 229 (158 male) individuals with surgically diagnosed primary ACLR, ruptured through non-contact mechanisms and 192 (107 male) apparently healthy participants (CON) without any history of ACLR. All participants were physically active, unrelated, self-reported Caucasians. METHODS All participants were genotyped for four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP): MMP3 (rs591058C/T, rs679620 G/A), MMP8 (rs11225395C/T), and TIMP2 (rs4789932 G/A) using standard PCR assays. Gene-gene interactions were inferred. Single-locus association analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test. SNP-SNP interaction effects were analysed using multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method. RESULTS Genotype frequencies did not significantly differ between cases and controls, however, the MMP3 rs679620 G and rs591058C alleles were significantly overrepresented in cases compared to controls (p=0.021, OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.05-1.81). CONCLUSIONS These results support the hypothesis that genetic variation within MMP3 contributes to inter-individual susceptibility to non-contact ACLR. However, these results need to be explored further in larger, independent sample sets.

J Biomech 2018; 80:79-87.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of doxycycline, a broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor, on cage activity and exercised supraspinatus tendon and muscle using a Sprague-Dawley rat model of non-injurious exercise. Because exercise may alter muscle and tendon MMP activity and matrix turnover, we hypothesized that doxycycline would abolish the beneficial adaptations found with exercise but have no effect on cage activity muscle and tendon properties. Rats were divided into acute or chronic exercise (EX) or cage activity (CA) groups, and half of the rats received doxycycline orally. Animals in acute EX groups were euthanized 24 h after a single bout of exercise (10 m/min, 1 h) on a flat treadmill. Animals in chronic EX groups walked on a flat treadmill and were euthanized at 2 or 8 week time points. Assays included supraspinatus tendon mechanics and histology and muscle fiber morphologic and type analysis. Doxycycline improved tendon mechanical properties and collagen organization in chronic cage activity groups, which was not consistently evident in exercised groups. Combined with exercise, doxycycline decreased average muscle fiber cross-sectional area. Results of this study suggest that administration of doxycycline at pharmaceutical doses induces beneficial supraspinatus tendon adaptations without negatively affecting the muscle in cage activity animals, supporting the use of doxycycline to combat degenerative processes associated with underuse; however, when combined with exercise, doxycycline does not consistently produce the same beneficial adaptations in rat supraspinatus tendons and reduces muscle fiber cross-sectional area, suggesting that doxycycline is not advantageous when combined with activity.

Disc cell therapy with bone-marrow-derived autologous mesenchymal stromal cells in a large porcine disc degeneration model. EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2018; 27:2639-2649.

Abstract
PURPOSE Disc regeneration through matrix-assisted autologous mesenchymal stromal cell therapy seems promising against disc degeneration with convincing results in small animal models. Whether these positive results can be transferred to larger animal models or humans is unclear. METHODS Fibrin matrix-assisted autologous bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell therapy was compared to acellular fibrin matrix therapy in a porcine in vivo model. First, disc degeneration was induced by annular puncture and partial nucleotomy with a large 16G-needle, and 12 weeks later, disc therapy was performed in a second surgery with a thinner 26G needle. Seventy-two lumbar discs from 12 aged adult pigs were evaluated by histology, micro-CT, and gene expression analysis 13 and 24 weeks after nucleotomy and 1 and 12 weeks after treatment, respectively. RESULTS Radiologic disc height was not significantly different in both treatment groups. In the semi-quantitative histologic degeneration score, significant disc degeneration was still evident 1 week after treatment both in the mesenchymal stromal cell group and in the acellular fibrin matrix group. 12 weeks after treatment, degeneration was, however, not further increased and mesenchymal-stromal-cell-treated discs showed significantly less disc degeneration in the annulus fibrosus (p = 0.02), whereas reduction in the nucleus pulposus did not reach statistical significance. Cell treatment compared to matrix alone found less Col1 gene expression as a marker for fibrosis and more expression of the trophic factor BMP2 in the nucleus pulposus, whereas the inflammation marker IL1ß was reduced in the annulus fibrosus. CONCLUSIONS Disc treatment with fibrin matrix-assisted autologous mesenchymal stromal cells reduced degenerative findings compared to acellular fibrin matrix alone. Regenerative changes, however, were not significant for all parameters showing limitations in a large biomechanically demanding model with aged discs.

Abstract
This article describes the experimental procedures used to observe if PRP can positively affect tendon healing. There are 4 main steps to follow: induce a lesion in the Achilles tendon; prepare PRP and inject it (or the saline solution); remove the tendon; and perform biomechanical, molecular, and histological evaluations. At each step, all the procedures and methods are described in detail, so they can be reproduced easily. Achilles tendons have been surgically sectioned (removal of a 5-mm long section). Afterwards, PRP or saline solution was injected to study whether PRP has a positive effect on the healing of the tendon. Three groups of 40 animals (a total of 120 rats were used in this study) were subdivided into 2 subgroups: PRP injection group and a saline injection control group. Rats were sacrificed at increasing time points (Group A: 5 days; Group B: 15 days; Group C: 30 days) and tendons were removed. 90 tendons underwent biomechanical testing before performing transcriptomic analysis and the 30 remaining tendons were submitted to histological analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with a good prognosis. Serum levels of ADAMTS-7 might be used for the prognosis of STEMI. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum ADAMTS-7 levels and LVRR. METHODS This was a prospective study of 104 patients with STEMI who underwent revascularization and 63 controls. ADAMTS-7 serum levels were measured on days 1, 3, and 7 and in months 1 and 6 after STEMI. A decrease ≥ 15% of the left ventricular end-systolic volume at 6 months was defined as LVRR. RESULTS The serum levels of ADAMTS-7 in patients with LVRR were lower than those without LVRR (3.84 ± 2.26 vs. 5.02 ± 2.54, P = 0.032) 7 days after STEMI and the difference between day 7 and day 1 (ΔADAMTS-7) was even significantly lower (- 1.31 ± 0.94 vs. - 0.30 ± 0.22, P = 0.021). Multivariate analysis showed that ΔADAMTS-7(day 7 minus day 1) was independently associated with LVRR (OR = - 0.322, 95% CI = - 0.996 to - 0.074, P = 0.028). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that LVRR could be predicted (sensitivity 89%, specificity 82%, and area under the curve 0.896) when ΔADAMTS-7(day 7 minus day 1) was < - 0.39. CONCLUSIONS ΔADAMTS-7(day 7 minus day 1) might be a potential predictive factor for LVRR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We tested the hypothesis that biomarkers in the synovial fluid of the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint are correlated with visual analog scale (VAS) scores, functional scores, and ultrasound findings of chronic rotator cuff tear (RCT) severity. METHODS We measured biomarkers in shoulder joint synovial fluid of 42 patients with partial-thickness (21), nonmassive full-thickness (10), and massive full-thickness (11) RCTs. Pain duration, tear severity, and VAS and functional scores were compared with interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1, and MMP-13 levels. RESULTS Both MMP-1 and MMP-13 levels were significantly highest in the massive full-thickness group. MMP-13 levels were significantly different between groups, but proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β and IL-6 levels were not. However, IL-1β levels were significantly positively correlated with VAS (r = 0.66; P <.01) and functional scores (r = 0.61; P <.01), but IL-6, MMP-1, and MMP-13 levels were not. CONCLUSIONS IL-1β levels in shoulder synovial fluid correlated positively with shoulder pain and functional scores in patients with chronic RCTs. Both MMP-1 and MMP-13 levels were altered and increased with cuff tear severity.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify acute responses and chronic adaptations of supraspinatus tendon to noninjurious exercise. We hypothesized that chronic exercise (EX) increases tendon mechanical properties, and a single exercise bout increases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity acutely. Rats were divided into acute or chronic EX or cage activity groups. Animals in acute EX groups were euthanized, 3, 12, 24, 48, or 72 h upon completion of a single bout of exercise (10 m/min, 1 h) on a flat treadmill. Animals in chronic EX groups walked on a flat treadmill for 3 days or 1, 2, or 8 wk. Tendon histology, MMP activity, and mechanics were measured. A single bout of exercise trended toward reducing tendon mechanical properties, but 2 or 8 wk of chronic EX increased tendon mechanics. Cell density was not affected. Cells became rounder with chronic EX. All tendons were highly organized. MMP activity decreased after a single bout of exercise and returned to baseline by 72 h. MMP activity decreased after 8 wk of chronic EX. Decreased MMP activity may indicate an anabolic instead of catabolic response in contrast to injury. Results suggest that mild, acute decreases in MMP activity and tendon mechanics following a single exercise bout lead to enhanced tendon mechanical adaptations with repeated exercise bouts. This study defines acute and chronic changes of MMP activity, mechanical properties, and histology of the rat supraspinatus tendon in response to beneficial exercise and proposes a mechanism by which acute responses translate to chronic adaptations.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The line between beneficial exercise and overuse has not been elucidated. This study defines the acute and chronic temporal response to exercise of supraspinatus tendon in an in vivo model. We found that decreased matrix metalloproteinase activity and tendon mechanics after a single bout of exercise are followed by beneficial chronic adaptations of the tendon with repeated bouts. How the acute responses to exercise lead to chronic adaptations may distinguish beneficial exercise from overuse.

Abstract
Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) is a traditional Chinese medicine herb that can alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) (Söder et al. 2006) in animals. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood and require further investigation. In this study, rabbits with experimentally induced OA were given an intra-articular injection of danshen (0.7 mL/day) for 5 weeks. In addition to attenuating the cartilage degeneration of OA in the rabbits, danshen decreased the expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and MMP-13, and increased the expression of their natural inhibitors: tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) and TIMP-2. Apoptosis in osteoarthritic cartilage tissues was attenuated by danshen, accompanied with increased expression of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and decreased levels of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax). Further, danshen inhibited the nuclear accumulation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) p65 in osteoarthritic cartilage. The therapeutic effects of danshen in vivo were comparable to that of sodium hyaluronate, which is a drug used clinically for the treatment OA. In vitro, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was used to stimulate apoptosis in primary rabbit chondrocytes. We found that the SNP-induced apoptosis was mitigated by danshen. BAY11-7028, an inhibitor of the NF-κB pathway, augmented danshen's anti-apoptotic effects in cells exposed to SNP. When these results are considered together, they indicate that danshen alleviates the cartilage injury in rabbit OA through inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periostin (POSTN) is a protein that binds to integrins to support adhesion and migration of epithelial cells. Mice lacking this gene exhibit cardiac valve disease as well as skeletal and dental defects. Recent studies indicated that periostin is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the influence of periostin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) on OA synoviocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS OA patients were classified according to the Kellgren-Lawrence system and the levels of periostin, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13 and transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) in the synovial fluid were measured. MMPs or tissue inhibitor of MMPs (TIMPs) with periostin in cultured cells were measured when periostin was added to OA-associated synovial cells. Dexamethasone, a steroid medication which shows immunosuppressive effects, was used to investigate the influence of the downstream cascade. RESULTS Periostin and IL-13 levels were up-regulated during the progression of OA. MMP-2 and MMP-3 levels increased in a periostin concentration-dependent manner. Increase in MMP-2 and MMP-3 levels was inhibited by dexamethasone treatment. CONCLUSION In vivo results herein indicate that IL-13 may induce periostin production in OA. Furthermore, periostin may facilitate MMP production in OA-associated synovial cells.

Abstract
In the last few decades, perturbation in methyl-group and homocysteine (Hcy) balance have emerged as independent risk factors in a number of pathological conditions including neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular dysfunction, cancer development, autoimmune disease, and kidney disease. Recent studies report Hcy to be a newly recognized risk factor for osteoporosis. Elevated Hcy levels are known to modulate osteoclastgenesis by causing detrimental effects on bone via oxidative stress induced metalloproteinase-mediated extracellular matrix degradation and decrease in bone blood flow. Evidence from previous studies also suggests that the decreased chondrocytes mediated bone mineralization in chick limb-bud mesenchymal cells and during the gestational period of ossification in rat model. However, Hcy imbalance and its role in bone loss, regression in vascular invasion, and osteoporosis, are not clearly understood. More investigations are required to explore the complex interplay between Hcy imbalance and onset of bone disease progression. This article reviews the current body of knowledge on regulation of Hcy mediated oxidative stress and its role in bone remodeling, vascular blood flow and progression of bone disease. J. Cell.

Effects of platelet-rich plasma and triamcinolone acetonide on interleukin-1ß-stimulated human rotator cuff-derived cells. Bone Joint Res 2016; 5:602-609. [PMID: 27965219 PMCID: PMC5227058 DOI: 10.1302/2046-3758.512.2000582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2015] [Accepted: 09/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is widely used for the treatment of rotator cuff injury because of its anti-inflammatory properties. However, TA can also produce deleterious effects such as tendon degeneration or rupture. These harmful effects could be prevented by the addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), however, the anti-inflammatory and anti-degenerative effects of the combined use of TA and PRP have not yet been made clear. The objective of this study was to determine how the combination of TA and PRP might influence the inflammation and degeneration of the rotator cuff by examining rotator cuff-derived cells induced by interleukin (IL)-1ß. Methods Rotator cuff-derived cells were seeded under inflammatory stimulation conditions (with serum-free medium with 1 ng/ml IL-1ß for three hours), and then cultured in different media: serum-free (control group), serum-free + TA (0.1mg/ml) (TA group), serum-free + 10% PRP (PRP group), and serum-free + TA (0.1mg/ml) + 10% PRP (TA+PRP group). Cell morphology, cell viability, and expression of inflammatory and degenerative mediators were assessed. Results Exposure to TA significantly decreased cell viability and changed the cell morphology; these effects were prevented by the simultaneous administration of PRP. Compared with the control group, expression levels of inflammatory genes and reactive oxygen species production were reduced in the TA, PRP, and TA+PRP groups. PRP significantly decreased the expression levels of degenerative marker genes. Conclusions The combination of TA plus PRP exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-degenerative effects on rotator cuff-derived cells stimulated by IL-1ß. This combination has the potential to relieve the symptoms of rotator cuff injury. Cite this article: T. Muto, T. Kokubu, Y. Mifune, A. Inui, R. Sakata, Y. Harada, F. Takase, M. Kurosaka.

Abstract
Background: The etiology of hernia formation is strongly debated and includes mechanical strain, prior surgical intervention, abnormal embryologic development, and increased intraabdominal pressure. Although the most common inciting cause in ventral hernias is previous abdominal surgery, many other factors contribute. We explore this etiology through an examination of the current literature and existing evidence on patients with collagen vascular diseases, such as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. Methods: A systematic review of the published literature was performed of all available Spanish and English language PubMed and Cochrane articles containing the key words “collagenopathies,” “collagenopathy,” “Ehlers-Danlos,” “ventral hernia,” and “hernia.” Results: Three hundred fifty-two articles were identified in the preliminary search. After review, 61 articles were included in the final review. Conclusions: Multiple authors suggest a qualitative or quantitative defect in collagen formation as a common factor in hernia formation. High-level clinical data clearly linking collagenopathies and hernia formation are lacking. However, a trend in pathologic studies suggests a link between abnormal collagen production and/or processing that is likely associated with hernia development.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tears are common and result in considerable morbidity. Tears within the tendon substance or at its insertion into the humeral head represent a considerable clinical challenge because of the hostile local environment that precludes healing. Tears often progress without intervention, and current surgical treatments are inadequate. Although surgical implants, instrumentation, and techniques have improved, healing rates have not improved, and a high failure rate remains for large and massive rotator cuff tears. The use of biologic adjuvants that contribute to a regenerative microenvironment have great potential for improving healing rates and function after surgery. This article presents a review of current and emerging biologic approaches to augment rotator cuff tendon and muscle regeneration focusing on the scientific rationale, preclinical, and clinical evidence for efficacy, areas for future research, and current barriers to advancement and implementation.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease characterized by cartilage degeneration and chondrocyte apoptosis. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway plays a key role in regulating OA process. Autophagy has an important effect on the OA process, and it is believed to be regulated by MAPKs. To reveal the mechanism and the effect of JNK and p38 MAPKs on matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and autophagy in OA, the study established OA model in rabbits, used the measurement of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International scoring system to evaluate OA model, and conducted general observation, histological observation, and Western blotting of JNK, phosphorylate-JNK (P-JNK), p38, phosphorylate-p38 (P-p38), MMP3, and light-chain 3 (LC3)-II/LC3-I to explore the variation of JNK, p38 MAPKs, and autophagy at the early stage of OA. With OA progressing at the early stage, MMP3, P-p38, and P-JNK were gradually upregulated from the baseline to the peak in study groups when compared with the control group; JNK and p38 variated of turbulence without statistical difference; and LC3-II/LC3-I had a decreasing tendency from the 0- to 15-day group. This study identifies that compromised autophagy may be related to the OA progress and that JNK and p38 MAPKs have positive regulation on MMP3 and negative regulation on autophagy. It also implicates a new therapeutic strategy for OA and other degenerate diseases based on selective MAPK inhibitors, reduction of MMP3, and autophagy.

Abstract
Objective: Characterize biomarkers measuring extracellular matrix turnover of inflamed osteoarthritis synovium. Methods: Human primary fibroblast-like synoviocytes and synovial membrane explants (SMEs) treated with various cytokines and growth factors were assessed by C1M, C3M, and acMMP3 in the conditioned medium. Results: TNFα significantly increased C1M up to seven-fold (p = 0.0002), C3M up to 24-fold (p = 0.0011), and acMMP3 up to 14-fold (p < 0.0001) in SMEs. IL-1β also significantly increased C1M up to five-fold (p = 0.00094), C3M four-fold (p = 0.007), and acMMP3 18-fold (p < 0.0001) in SMEs. Conclusion: The biomarkers C1M, C3M, and acMMP-3 were synovitis biomarkers ex vivo and provide a translational tool together with the SME model.

Abstract
To date, more than 18 genomic intervals, which underpin the complex myriad of extracellular matrix interactions of tendons, have been implicated in risk models for tendinopathy. It is these relationships that most likely regulate the tissue's response to loading and unloading, thereby dictating the overall capacity of tendons and influencing injury susceptibility. The evidence suggesting a genetic contribution to the susceptibility of sustaining a tendon injury is growing. However, only a few of the loci have been repeated in independent studies, of which some have included a range of musculoskeletal soft tissues injuries. Case-control study designs can be effective in capturing risk, provided that the cases and controls are equally well-defined and carefully considered. The genome consists of 3.6 × 10(9) sequences and therefore we realise that we are far from decoding all the genomic signatures. We are indeed fortunate to be living in such exciting times where high-throughput technologies are at our disposal. Through collaboration, our chances of harnessing these "omics" technologies to further our clinical understanding of tendinopathy will increase.

Abstract
Inflammation is a complex, biologic event that aims to protect and repair tissue. Previous studies suggest that inflammation is critical to induce a healing response following acute injury; however, whether similar inflammatory responses occur as a result of beneficial, non-injurious loading is unknown. The objective of this study was to screen for alterations in a subset of inflammatory and extracellular matrix genes to identify the responses of rat supraspinatus tendon and muscle to a known, non-injurious loading condition. We sought to define how a subset of genes representative of specific inflammation and matrix turnover pathways is altered in supraspinatus tendon and muscle 1) acutely following a single loading bout and 2) chronically following repeated loading bouts. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats in the acute group ran a single bout of non-injurious exercise on a flat treadmill (10 m/min, 1 hour) and were sacrificed 12 or 24 hours after. Rats in the chronic group ran 5 days/wk for 1 or 8 weeks. A control group maintained normal cage activity. Supraspinatus muscle and tendon were harvested for RNA extractions, and a custom Panomics QuantiGene 2.0 multiplex assay was used to detect 48 target and 3 housekeeping genes. Muscle/tendon and acute/chronic groups had distinct gene expression. Components of the arachidonic acid cascade and matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors were altered with acute and chronic exercise. Collagen expression increased. Using a previously validated model of non-injurious exercise, we have shown that supraspinatus tendon and muscle respond to acute and chronic exercise by regulating inflammatory- and matrix turnover-related genes, suggesting that these pathways are involved in the beneficial adaptations to exercise.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been known to play a pivotal role in the age- and/or disease-related degradation of intervertebral discs. We aimed to explore as to whether the expression of these enzymes is correlated to disc degeneration caused by increasing age and severity of herniation in the East Asian population. Thus, we studied the expressions of MMP-1 (collagenase), MMP-2 (gelatinase) and MMP-14 (membrane-type protease) in 65 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to their age, and the severity of herniation was graded on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Immunohistochemistry analysis was conducted to determine the expression of different MMPs in the post-surgery disc specimens. The results showed that expressions of these three enzymes were directly and positively related to the degree of disc degradation. Whereas, the MMP-1 expression was found to be elevated with the increasing age, the MMP-2 and MMP-14 remained unchanged in groups of different ages. A direct correlation between the expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-14 suggested a role of MMP-14 in the modulation of MMP-2 expression.
