Abstract
Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) stands as the prevailing progressive musculoskeletal disease, serving as the primary cause of chronic pain and activity limitations among adults over 40. Flavan-3-ols, common polyphenolic compounds, are believed to harbor anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. This study explores the relationship between flavan-3-ol intake and osteoarthritis risk in individuals over the age of 40 in the US. Methods: This study included 7452 participants over the age of 40 from three cycles (2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2017-2018) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Information on OA history was obtained via home surveys. Information on flavan-3-ol monomers intake was obtained using a survey from the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies. We used a logistic regression model and restricted cubic spline to analyze the relationships between flavan-3-ol monomers and OA. Stratified analyses were also conducted in this study. Results: There were 1056 participants with OA and 6396 without OA. Compared to the first tertile (T1) group, the adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of logistic regression model 2 for the flavan-3-ol T2 group was 1.296 (0.979-1.715) (p = 0.068), the OR for (-)-epigallocatechin was 1.292 (1.025-1.629) (p = 0.032), and the OR for (-)-epicatechin 3-gallate was 1.348 (1.013, 1.793) (p = 0.042). A dose-response curve indicated a non-linear association (p for non-linearity <0.05) between OA and total flavan-3-ol monomers (nadir point: 483.29 mg, 95% CI: 0.61-0.90). No interaction effects were found in the subgroup analysis. Conclusions: In individuals over 40 in the US, the average daily dietary intake of flavan-3-ol monomers manifests a J-shaped relationship with OA risk.

Drug-induced osteoporosis and mechanisms of bone tissue regeneration through trace elements. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 84:127446. [PMID: 38615498 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2024.127446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Osteoporosis is associated with an imbalance in bone formation, with certain drugs used in disease treatment being implicated in its development. Supplementation with trace elements may contribute to bone regeneration, offering an alternative approach by enhancing bone mineral density (BMD) and thereby thwarting the onset of osteoporosis. This review aims to assess the mechanisms through which trace elements such as copper (Cu), iron (Fe), selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) are linked to increased bone mass, thus mitigating the effects of pharmaceuticals. Our findings underscore that the use of drugs such as aromatase inhibitors (AIs), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), antiretrovirals, glucocorticoids, opioids, or anticonvulsants can result in decreased BMD, a primary contributor to osteoporosis. Research indicates that essential elements like Cu, Fe, Se, Mn, and Zn, through various mechanisms, can bolster BMD and forestall the onset of the disease, owing to their protective effects. Consequently, our study recommends a minimum daily intake of these essential minerals for patients undergoing treatment with the aforementioned drugs, as the diverse mechanisms governing the effects of trace elements Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, and Zn facilitate bone remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exploring the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is important for its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Therefore, we aimed to construct novel signature genes (c-FRGs) combining cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) with ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) to explore the pathogenesis of OA and aid in its treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Differentially expressed c-FRGs (c-FDEGs) were obtained using R software. Enrichment analysis was performed and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed based on these c-FDEGs. Then, seven hub genes were screened. Three machine learning methods and verification experiments were used to identify four signature biomarkers from c-FDEGs, after which gene set enrichment analysis, gene set variation analysis, single-sample gene set enrichment analysis, immune function analysis, drug prediction, and ceRNA network analysis were performed based on these signature biomarkers. Subsequently, a disease model of OA was constructed using these biomarkers and validated on the GSE82107 dataset. Finally, we analyzed the distribution of the expression of these c-FDEGs in various cell populations. RESULTS A total of 63 FRGs were found to be closely associated with 11 CRGs, and 40 c-FDEGs were identified. Bioenrichment analysis showed that they were mainly associated with inflammation, external cellular stimulation, and autophagy. CDKN1A, FZD7, GABARAPL2, and SLC39A14 were identified as OA signature biomarkers, and their corresponding miRNAs and lncRNAs were predicted. Finally, scRNA-seq data analysis showed that the differentially expressed c-FRGs had significantly different expression distributions across the cell populations. CONCLUSION Four genes, namely CDKN1A, FZD7, GABARAPL2, and SLC39A14, are excellent biomarkers and prospective therapeutic targets for OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, that causes a significant decrease in the quality of life of the afflicted and constitutes a great burden for the socioeconomic system. Trace elements and heavy metals are implicated in the pathophysiology of OA, exacerbating inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to quantify metals in plasma samples of Greek OA patients and explore their link with disease related parameters, health status or quality of life, as well as epigenetic OA markers. This is the first study on plasma metal levels in Greek knee OA patients. To achieve precision in plasma metal and miRNA measurements, high-quality samples were selected from a subset of 34 participants (NCT04783792). Demographic, quality of life, clinical, biochemical, inflammation, oxidative stress, and anthropometric parameters, as well as microRNA levels were assessed. Significant correlations were found between circulating metals with OA related parameters or with measured microRNAs. Also, significant positive associations between plasma copper (Cu) levels and CRP (p = 0.033) or IL-6 (p = 0.001) occurred when adjusting for age, gender, BMI, physical activity level, smoking, disease severity, total arthroplasty, and dietary intake of the respective metal. Cu's role in OA is bidirectional, and this study confirms the findings that in OA, Cu is positively associated with inflammation. Such relationships between lifestyle, environment and OA enhance our understanding and encourage further study on metals related to OA inflammation.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the relationship between osteoarthritis and the trace elements zinc and copper and to provide a theoretical basis for research on the related mechanisms for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoarthritis. We searched all the literature indexed in Web Of Science, Embase, and PubMed as of January 10, 2024, summarized the zinc and copper detection indexes in patients with osteoarthritis, obtained clinical data through literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction, and analyzed the data using Revman 5.4. A total of 13 papers were included in this study, totaling 7983 study subjects. These were divided into osteoarthritis and healthy control groups. The results from the meta-analysis showed that in patients with osteoarthritis, circulating copper levels, but not zinc levels, were significantly higher compared to healthy individuals. The level of copper in the blood of patients with osteoarthritis is significantly higher than that of healthy people.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 272:116101. [PMID: 38359653 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
Selenium (Se) and cadmium (Cd) usually co-existed in soils, especially in areas with Se-rich soils in China. The potential health consequences for the local populations consuming foods rich in Se and Cd are unknown. Cardamine hupingshanensis (HUP) is Se and Cd hyperaccumulator plant that could be an ideal natural product to assess the protective effects of endogenous Se against endogenous Cd-caused bone damage. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed 5.22 mg/kg cadmium chloride (CdCl2) (Cd 3.2 mg/kg body weight (BW)), or HUP solutions containing Cd 3.2 mg/kg BW and Se 0.15, 0.29 or 0.50 mg/kg BW (corresponding to the HUP0, HUP1 and HUP2 groups) interventions. Se-enriched HUP1 and HUP2 significantly decreased Cd-induced femur microstructure damage and regulated serum bone osteoclastic marker levels and osteogenesis-related genes. In addition, endogenous Se significantly decreased kidney fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) protein expression and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, and raised serum calcitriol (1,25(OH)2D3). Furthermore, Se also regulated gut microbiota involved in skeletal metabolism disorder. In conclusion, endogenous Se, especially with higher doses (the HUP2 group), positively affects bone formation and resorption by mitigating the damaging effects of endogenous Cd via the modulation of renal FGF23 expression, circulating 1,25(OH)2D3 and PTH and gut microbiota composition.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of dietary deficiency and supplementation of calcium, zinc, copper, cobalt, manganese or selenium on minerals content in the longissimus dorsi (LD), biceps femoris (BF) and triceps brachii (TB) of grazing Mongolian sheep. Methods We randomly divided 98 sheep into 7 treatment groups and fed them specific diets for 60 days: a total mineral nutrition diet (LCG), a calcium deficiency diet (LCa), a zinc deficiency diet (LZn), a copper deficiency diet (LCu), a cobalt deficiency diet (LCo), a manganese deficiency diet (LMn) and a selenium deficiency diet (LSe). Then 7 sheep from each group were slaughtered and samples of LD, BF and TB were collected for mineral content analysis. The remaining sheep in each group were subsequently fed specific diets for an additional 41 days: a total mineral nutrition diet (SCG), a calcium supplementation diet (SCa), a zinc supplementation diet (SZn), a copper supplementation diet (SCu), a cobalt supplementation diet (SCo), a manganese supplementation diet (SMn) and a selenium supplementation diet (SSe). Afterward, all sheep were slaughtered, and muscle samples were collected and analyzed. Results Significant findings emerged that LCa decreased sulfur (S) content in BF and increased Ca content in LD and BF, while SCa increased S and Ca content in BF and TB, respectively (P < 0.05). LZn decreased Zn, S, and potassium (K) content in LD and BF, while SZn increased Zn and S content in LD and BF, respectively (P < 0.05). LCu decreased Cu and iron (Fe) content in LD and TB, while SCu increased Fe content in TB (P < 0.05). LCo decreased phosphorus, S, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn content in LD (P < 0.05). LMn decreased Mn content and increased K content in TB, while SMn decreased K content in BF and TB (P < 0.05). LSe and SSe decreased and increased Se content in LD, BF, and TB, respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusion Dietary mineral levels have varying effects on lamb meat minerals content. It is important to ensure an adequate intake of minerals in the diet to enhance the mineral nutrition of lamb meat.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite some knowledge gaps in scientific evidence, MgCl2 is largely used for pain relief in musculoskeletal diseases. Mg salts were shown to provide analgesia postoperatively in orthopedic surgery and low Mg levels were linked to arthritis development and severity. We determined the anti-inflammatory activity of MgCl2 in an acute arthritis model. METHODS Mice received 0.1 mg/25µL Zymosan (Zy) or saline into the knees. Joint pain was evaluated using von Frey test; cell influx, and interleukin (IL)-1 level were assessed in joint lavage at 6 h. Synovia were excised for histopathology and analysis of immunoexpression of nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Groups (n = 6/group) received either 90 mg/kg MgCl2/100 µL or saline per os (systemic) or 500 µg/25 µL MgCl2 or saline intra-articularly (i.a.) 30 min prior to Zy. RESULTS MgCl2 given either systemically or locally significantly reduced cell influx (p = 0.0012 and p = 0.0269, respectively), pain (p = 0.0005 and p = 0.0038, respectively), and intra-articular IL-1 level (p = 0.0391), as compared to saline. Systemic MgCl2 significantly decreased NFκB (p < 0.05) immmunoexpression, as compared to saline. CONCLUSION MgCl2 given systemically or locally displayed anti-inflammatory activity in a severe acute arthritis model reducing cell influx, pain, and cytokine release. MgCl2 operates at least partially via inhibiting NFκB activation. This is the first in vivo demonstration that MgCl2 decreases cytokine release in arthritis, prompting reduction of inflammation and pain relief.

Abstract
The present study examined potential association between the daily intake and serum levels of copper (Cu), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) and the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Daily intake and serum concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Se in 4200 adults from the 2011-2016 NHANES were examined and divided into normal, OA patients, and RA patients. The level of serum Cu was higher in OA and RA than in non-arthritis, while the levels of serum Se and Zn were no different in the three groups. Serum Se and Zn, but not Cu, concentrations were highly correlated with daily intake. Cu, Se, and Zn intake was independently associated with increased risk of OA, but not with RA. And there was a trend for higher odds of OA among participants in the higher Cu, Se, and Zn intake. Future large longitudinal studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Dysregulated metal homeostasis is associated with many pathological conditions, including arthritic diseases. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most prevalent disorders that damage the joints and lead to cartilage and bone destruction. Recent studies show that the levels of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) are generally altered in the serum of arthritis patients. Therefore, metal dyshomeostasis may reflect the contribution of these trace elements to the disease's pathogenesis and manifestations, suggesting their potential for prognosis and treatment. Carnosine (Car) also emerged as a biomarker in arthritis and exerts protective and osteogenic effects in arthritic joints. Notably, its zinc(II) complex, polaprezinc, has been recently proposed as a drug-repurposing candidate for bone fracture healing. On these bases, this review article aims to provide an overview of the beneficial roles of Cu and Zn in bone and cartilage health and their potential application in tissue engineering. The effects of Car and polaprezinc in promoting cartilage and bone regeneration are also discussed. We hypothesize that polaprezinc could exchange Zn for Cu, present in the culture media, due to its higher sequestering ability towards Cu. However, future studies should unveil the potential contribution of Cu in the beneficial effects of polaprezinc.

The influence of zinc and iron intake on osteoarthritis patients' subchondral sclerosis progression: A prospective observational study using data from the osteoarthritis Initiative. Heliyon 2023; 9:e22046. [PMID: 38027819 PMCID: PMC10658380 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The purpose of this investigation was to elucidate the relationship between the zinc and iron intake and the advancement of subchondral sclerosis among patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The goal was to establish personalized, nutritionally-informed strategies designed to retard the progression of subchondral sclerosis and conserve joint structure. Methods For the purposes of this research, we derived data from the Bone Ancillary Study (BAS), a constituent study of the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI). The intake of zinc and iron was evaluated via a food frequency questionnaire. Magnetic Resonance Imaging trabecular morphometry was employed to ascertain the microarchitecture of the subchondral bone. For the analysis of collected data, we employed logistic regression along with generalized additive models (GAMs). Results The participant cohort was comprised of 474 OA patients (216 females, 258 males, mean [SD] age 64.1[9.2]). Notably, an increment in zinc consumption was linked with a significantly reduced likelihood of deterioration in Tb.N (OR = 0.967, 95 % CI, 0.939-0.996, P-value = 0.026), Tb.Th (OR = 0.958, 95 % CI, 0.929-0.989, P-value = 0.008), and Tb.Sp (OR = 0.967, 95 % CI, 0.939-0.996, P-value = 0.013). An elevation in iron intake seemed to enhance the risk of subchondral sclerosis, as indicated by the GAM. Subgroup analysis revealed an interaction between the effectiveness of zinc intake and factors such as gender, age, radiographic severity, and macronutrient consumption. An increased intake of calcium amplified the beneficial impact of zinc on subchondral sclerosis. Conclusions Our findings indicate a positive association between elevated zinc intake and a slowdown in the progression of subchondral sclerosis in OA patients, notably among females, middle-aged individuals, and those with higher calcium and magnesium intake. Conversely, a higher iron intake might intensify subchondral sclerosis. These results suggest that personalized, diet-based interventions focusing on zinc consumption, in tandem with adequate calcium intake, could potentially decelerate the progression of subchondral sclerosis in individuals afflicted with OA.

Abstract
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), a disorder of the synovium, subchondral bone, and cartilage that affects the entire joint, constitutes approximately 12% of all cases of symptomatic osteoarthritis. This review summarizes the pathogenetic mechanisms that underlie the positive influence of chondroitin sulphates (CSs) on PTOA as means of preventive and therapeutic treatment. Mechanisms of PTOA development involve chondrocytes undergoing various forms of cell death (apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis and/or necrosis). Chondroitin sulphates are a class of glycosaminoglycans that improve the structure and function of cartilage and subchondral bone, which is associated with their ability to decrease the activation of NF-κB and p38 MAPK, and up-regulate Nrf2. Standardized small fish extract (SSFE) is an example of the drugs that can attenuate NF-κB-mediated systemic inflammation, potentially helping to reduce joint inflammation and cartilage degradation, improve joint function, and alleviate pain and disability in patients with these conditions.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1632.

Abstract
A series of copper(II) complexes with the formula [Cu2+Hy(x)Car%] varying the molecular weight (MW) of Hyaluronic acid (Hy, x = 200 or 700 kDa) conjugated with carnosine (Car) present at different loading were synthesized and characterized via different spectroscopic techniques. The metal complexes behaved as Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) mimics and showed some of the most efficient reaction rate values produced using a synthetic and water-soluble copper(II)-based SOD mimic reported to date. The increase in the percentage of Car moieties parallels the enhancement of the I50 value determined via the indirect method of Fridovich. The presence of the non-functionalized Hy OH groups favors the scavenger activity of the copper(II) complexes with HyCar, recalling similar behavior previously found for the copper(II) complexes with Car conjugated using β-cyclodextrin or trehalose. In keeping with the new abilities of SOD1 to activate protective agents against oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis diseases, Cu2+ interaction with HyCar promotes the nuclear translocation of erythroid 2-related factor that regulates the expressions of target genes, including Heme-Oxigenase-1, thus stimulating an antioxidant response in osteoblasts subjected to an inflammatory/oxidative insult.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration. OA usually manifests as joint pain, limited mobility, and joint effusion. Currently, the primary OA treatment is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Although they can alleviate the disease's clinical symptoms and signs, the drugs have some side effects. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) may be an alternative to relieve OA symptoms. Materials and Results We confirmed the anti-inflammatory effect of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) in vitro and in vivo experiments for OA disease in this study. In vitro experiments, we found that SeNPs could significantly reduce the expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the major inflammatory factors, and had significant anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. SeNPs can inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and increased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in interleukin-1beta (IL-1β)-stimulated cells. Additionally, SeNPs down-regulated matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS-5) expressions, while up-regulated type II collagen (COL-2) and aggrecan (ACAN) expressions stimulated by IL-1β. The findings also indicated that SeNPs may exert their effects through suppressing the NF-κB p65 and p38/MAPK pathways. In vivo experiments, the prevention of OA development brought on by SeNPs was demonstrated using a DMM model. Discussion Our results suggest that SeNPs may be a potential anti-inflammatory agent for treating OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and histological administration of magnesium oxide (MgO) supplementation on orthodontic relapse and bone remodeling. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty male albino rabbits were classified into four groups (five animals for each as two control (positive and negative), plus two experimental (low dose 40 mg/kg) and (high dose 80 mg/kg)/b.w. daily). An orthodontic force was applied (40 gm) to the lower incisors using modified orthodontic appliance adapted on the lower central incisors. During the period of retention, MgO was given orally. Relapse was estimated after appliance removal. A digital Calliper was used to compete the space between incisors' mesial tips of rabbits at six successive time points (0, 3, 7, 10, 15, and 21 days). Histologically, osteoblast, osteoclast, and osteocyte account were assessed. Data analyses were performed by SPSS using ANOVA and Tukay HSD (P ≤ 0.05) for statistically significant differences between groups. RESULTS The high dose group had a lower relapse rate than the low dose and control groups. Histologically, the high dose group had more osteoblasts and osteocytes than low dose and control groups. While osteoclasts were significantly lower than the control group in low and high dose groups. CONCLUSIONS MgO supplementation during an orthodontic retention phase, particularly at a level of high dose, clinically decreased orthodontic relapse in a rabbit model. Histologically, MgO has a significant effect on alveolar bone after the orthodontic retention period.

Abstract
Osteochondral defects (OCD) cannot be efficiently repaired due to the unique physical architecture and the pathological microenvironment including enhanced oxidative stress and inflammation. Conventional strategies, such as the control of implant microstructure or the introduction of growth factors, have limited functions failing to manage these complex environments. Here we developed a multifunctional silk-based hydrogel incorporated with metal-organic framework nanozymes (CuTA@SF) to provide a suitable microenvironment for enhanced OCD regeneration. The incorporation of CuTA nanozymes endowed the SF hydrogel with a uniform microstructure and elevated hydrophilicity. In vitro cultivation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and chondrocytes showed that CuTA@SF hydrogel accelerated cell proliferation and enhanced cell viability, as well as had antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Under the inflammatory environment with the stimulation of IL-1β, CuTA@SF hydrogel still possessed the potential to promote MSC osteogenesis and deposition of cartilage-specific extracellular matrix (ECM). The proteomics analysis further confirmed that CuTA@SF hydrogel promoted cell proliferation and ECM synthesis. In the full-thickness OCD model of rabbit, CuTA@SF hydrogel displayed successfully in situ OCD regeneration, as evidenced by micro-CT, histology (HE, S/O, and toluidine blue staining) and immunohistochemistry (Col I and aggrecan immunostaining). Therefore, CuTA@SF hydrogel is a promising biomaterial targeted at the regeneration of OCD. A multifunctional silk-based hydrogel incorporated with metal-organic framework nanozymes (CuTA@SF) was fabricated. CuTA@SF hydrogel has antioxidant, anti-inflammation and antibacterial capacities. Proteomics analysis confirmed that CuTA@SF hydrogel promoted cell proliferation and ECM synthesis. CuTA@SF hydrogel displayed successful osteochondral regeneration in vivo.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common refractory degenerative joint diseases worldwide. Synovitis is believed to drive joint cartilage destruction during OA pathogenesis. Cuproptosis is a novel form of copper-induced cell death. However, few studies have examined the correlations between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs), immune infiltration, and synovitis. Therefore, we analyzed CRGs in synovitis during OA. Microarray datasets (GSE55235, GSE55457, GSE12021, GSE82107 and GSE176308) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Next, we conducted differential and subtype analyses of CRGs across synovitis. Immune infiltration and correlation analyses were performed to explore the association between CRGs and immune cell abundance in synovitis. Finally, single-cell RNA-seq profiling was performed using the GSE176308 dataset to investigate the expression of CRGs in the various cell clusters. We found that the expression of five CRGs (FDX1, LIPT1, PDHA1, PDHB, and CDKN2A) was significantly increased in the OA synovium. Moreover, abundant and various types of immune cells infiltrated the synovium during OA, which was correlated with the expression of CRGs. Additionally, single-cell RNA-seq profiling revealed that the cellular composition of the synovium was complex and that their proportions varied greatly as OA progressed. The expression of CRGs differed across various cell types in the OA synovium. The current study predicted that cuproptosis may be involved in the pathogenesis of synovitis. The five screened CRGs (FDX1, LIPT1, PDHA1, PDHB, and CDKN2A) could be explored as candidate biomarkers or therapeutic targets for OA synovitis.

Abstract
Abstract: The article presents the results of studies of the effect of radon and sulfide min-eral waters (MW) on Wistar rats with experimental arthrosis. materials and methods. Rats were randomized into 4 groups. Group 1 consisted of intact rats (control group). In the remaining three groups, a model of knee arthrosis was reproduced using dexamethasone injections. Group 2 consisted of rats with untreated pathology. Group 3 consisted of rats using radon MW procedures, and group 4 consisted of rats using sulfide MW. Results. Morphological studies have determined that using radon and sulfide MW has a curative effect on the structural and functional organization of the joint and cartilage - the manifes-tations of inflammation in the knee joints are significantly reduced, dystrophic manifesta-tions disappear, and reparative processes in cartilage improve. There are signs of an im-provement in the state of metabolic processes in the body of rats: the balance in the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant systems is restored, and the indicators of the processes of energy supply of transmembrane transport (according to the activity of magnesium-dependent Na+/K+-ATP-ase and Ca2+-ATP-ase) and protein exchange.Conclusion. Based on the data obtained, it was concluded that both applied MWs have a unidirectional, but somewhat different in strength, curative effect on the course of experimental arthrosis, which is due to different mechanisms of the biological action of radon and hydrogen sul-fide.
Keywords: experimental arthrosis; morphological and metabolic indicators; radon; hydrogen sulfide; mineral water.

The Role Played by Ferroptosis in Osteoarthritis: Evidence Based on Iron Dyshomeostasis and Lipid Peroxidation. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11091668. [PMID: 36139742 PMCID: PMC9495695 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11091668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis, a recently discovered regulated cell death modality, is characterised by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, which can reach lethal levels but can be specifically reversed by ferroptosis inhibitors. Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common degenerative joint disease, is characterised by a complex pathogenesis involving mechanical overload, increased inflammatory mediator levels, metabolic alterations, and cell senescence and death. Since iron accumulation and oxidative stress are the universal pathological features of OA, the role played by ferroptosis in OA has been extensively explored. Increasing evidence has shown that iron dyshomeostasis and lipid peroxidation are closely associated with OA pathogenesis. Therefore, in this review, we summarize recent evidence by focusing on ferroptotic mechanisms and the role played by ferroptosis in OA pathogenesis from the perspectives of clinical findings, animal models, and cell research. By summarizing recent research advances that characterize the relationship between ferroptosis and OA, we highlight avenues for further research and potential therapeutic targets.
