Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of acupotomy, on mitophagy and the Pink1-Parkin pathway in chondrocytes from rabbits with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS A KOA model was established via the modified Videman method. Rabbits were randomly divided into a control group (CON), KOA group and KOA + acupotomy group (Acu). Rabbits in the acupotomy group were subjected to acupotomy for 4 weeks after model establishment. The behavior of the rabbits before and after intervention was recorded. Cartilage degeneration was evaluated by optical microscopy and fluorescence microscopy. The level of mitophagy was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-induced kinase 1 (Pink1)-Parkin mitophagy pathway components was evaluated by immunofluorescence, Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS In rabbits with KOA, joint pain, mobility disorders and cartilage degeneration were observed, the Mankin score was increased, collagen type Ⅱ (Col-Ⅱ) expression was significantly decreased, mitophagy was inhibited, mitochondrial function was impaired, and factors associated with the Pink1-Parkin pathway were inhibited. Acupotomy regulated the expression of Pink1-Parkin pathway-related proteins, the mitophagy-related protein microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain-3, the translocase of the outer membrane, and the inner mitochondrial membrane 23; increased the colocalization of mitochondria and autophagosomes; promoted the removal of damaged mitochondria; restored mitochondrial adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) production; and alleviated cartilage degeneration in rabbits with KOA. CONCLUSIONS Acupotomy played a role in alleviating KOA in rabbits by activating mitophagy in chondrocytes via the regulation of proteins that are related to the Pink1-Parkin pathway.

Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2024; 32:561-573. [PMID: 38369276 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2024.02.006] [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: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neutralization of Interleukin (IL)-6-signaling by antibodies is considered a promising tool for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). To gain further insight into this potential treatment, this study investigated the effects of IL-6-signaling and IL-6 neutralization on chondrocyte metabolism and the release of IL-6-signaling-related mediators by human chondrocytes. DESIGN Chondrocytes were collected from 49 patients with advanced knee/hip OA or femoral neck fracture. Isolated chondrocytes were stimulated with different mediators to analyze the release of IL-6, soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) and soluble gp130 (sgp130). The effect of IL-6 and IL-6/sIL-6R complex as well as neutralization of IL-6-signaling on the metabolism was analyzed. RESULTS OA chondrocytes showed high basal IL-6 production and release, which was strongly negatively correlated with the production of cartilage-matrix-proteins. Chondrocytes produced and released sIL-6R and sgp130. The IL-6/sIL-6R complex significantly increased nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2 and matrix metalloproteinase 1 production, decreased Pro-Collagen Type II and mitochondrial ATP production, and increased glycolysis in OA chondrocytes. Neutralization of IL-6-signaling by antibodies did not significantly affect the metabolism of OA chondrocytes, but blocking of glycoprotein 130 (gp130)-signaling by SC144 significantly reduced the basal IL-6 release. CONCLUSION Although IL-6 trans-signaling induced by IL-6/sIL-6R complex negatively affects OA chondrocytes, antibodies against IL-6 or IL-6R did not affect chondrocyte metabolism. Since inhibition of gp130-signaling reduced the enhanced basal release of IL-6, interfering with gp130-signaling may ameliorate OA progression because high cellular release of IL-6 correlates with reduced production of cartilage-matrix-proteins.

The relationship between structural changes in paraspinal muscles and intervertebral disc and facet joint degeneration in the lumbar spine of rats. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:58. [PMID: 38217024 PMCID: PMC10785363 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04548-8] [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: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Degenerative spine disease is one of the largest causes of disability worldwide and has a multifactorial aetiology. Determining the leading causes of this multifactorial disease could help create new treatment approaches. PURPOSE Study the impact of degenerative changes in the paraspinal muscles caused by local (prolonged compression) or systemic (high-fat diet) factors on the structure of the intervertebral discs (IVDs) and facet joints of the lumbar spine in rats. METHODS The study was conducted using two animal models to create degenerative changes in the paraspinal muscles of 10 white laboratory rats for 90 days and five control rats: 1) high-fat diet model (model 1) involved keeping the rats on a high calorie diet; 2) compression model (model 2) involved binding the paraspinal muscles from L2 to S1 using non-absorbable sutures. Histological analysis for the facet joints and IVDs of rats (at the L1-L4 level) with semi-quantitative analysis of the structure conducted used by degeneration grading system for IVDs and cartilage degeneration score (OARSI) for facet joint. RESULTS In both models, 90 days after the experiment, the degenerative changes observed in the rats' IVDs were more severe in the annulus fibrosus than in the nucleus pulposus. The height of the IVD in model 1 did not differ from the control group, but in the model 2 was 1.3 times greater (p < 0.001) compared with control. Degenerative changes in the IVD were scored out 5.3 ± 1.7 in model 1 and 5.32 ± 2.1 in model 2 of a possible 16. The height of the articular cartilage of the facet joints was smaller by 1.5 times (p < 0.001) and 1.4 times (p < 0.001) in model 1 and model 2, respectively, compared to the control. Degenerative changes of facet joint were scored out 3.7 ± 0.6 in model 1 and 3.8 ± 0.6 in model 2 of five points according to the cartilage degeneration score. CONCLUSIONS It was determined that rats who had structural changes in the lumbar paraspinal muscles as a result of being kept on a high-fat diet or subjected to prolonged compression for 90 days, showed degenerative changes in intervertebral discs and osteoarthritis in facet joints of lumbar spine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to screen novel biomarkers for osteoarthritis (OA) using bioinformatic methods and explore its regulatory mechanism in OA development. METHODS Differentially expressed genes were screened out from GSE98918 and GSE82107 datasets. Protein-protein interaction network and enrichment analysis were employed to search for hub gene and regulatory pathway. Hematoxylin-eosin, Safranin O-Fast green staining, and immunohistochemistry were performed to assess pathological damage. TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Real-time quantitative PCR was applied to verify expression of hub genes in OA model. The expression of key protein and pathway proteins was determined by western blot. Furthermore, Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry were conducted to explore the role of hub gene in chondrocytes. RESULTS We identified 6 hub genes of OA, including ITGB1, COL5A1, COL1A1, THBS2, LAMA1, and COL12A1, with high prediction value. ITGB1 was screened as a pivotal regulator of OA and cAMP pathway was selected as the key regulatory pathway. ITGB1 was down-regulated in OA model. ITGB1 overexpression attenuated pathological damage and apoptosis in OA rats with the reduced levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. ITGB1 overexpression activated cAMP pathway in vivo and vitro models. In vitro model, ITGB1 overexpression promoted cell viability, while inhibited apoptosis. ITGB1 overexpression also caused a decrease of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 concentrations. cAMP pathway inhibitor reversed the positive effect of ITGB1 on OA cell model. CONCLUSION ITGB1 is a novel biomarker for OA, which inhibits OA development by activating the cAMP pathway.

Abstract
Excessive inflammation and autophagy defect of chondrocytes play important roles in the pathological process of osteoarthritis (OA). The present study aimed to clarify the roles of small novel rich in cartilage (SNORC) in these pathological changes of chondrocytes in OA. Bioinformatics analysis of GEO dataset GSE207881 displayed that SNORC was a potential biomarker for OA. As confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR, immunohistochemical staining and western blotting, SNORC was significantly up-regulated in cartilage of OA rat model and interleukin (IL)-1β-stimulated primary rat articular chondrocytes in contrast to their corresponding normal control. Knocking down SNORC in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes obviously suppressed the production of nitric oxide (NO), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) to alleviate inflammation, and reduced the protein levels of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin 5 (ADAMTS5) and matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)13 and elevated collagen type 2 alpha 1 (COL2A1) level to improve matrix degradation. Down-regulation of SNORC increased Beclin1 expression and LC3II/LC3I ratio, but suppressed p62 expression to restore impaired autophagy in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. Moreover, down-regulating SNORC mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes. Mechanically, SNORC simultaneously activated the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/serine threonine kinase (PI3K/AKT) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/c-Jun signaling pathway in the IL-1β-induced chondrocyte, while re-activating the PI3K and JNK signals abolished the suppressive effect of down-regulating SNORC on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte damage. In a word, SNORC knockdown alleviates inflammation, matrix degradation, autophagy defect and excessive apoptosis of chondrocytes during OA development via suppressing the PI3K and JNK signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is an age-related disease that currently faces a lack of symptomatic treatment. Inflammation, which is mainly sustained by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1b, TNF, and IL-6, plays an important role in osteoarthritis progression. In this context, pro-inflammatory cytokines are widely used to mimic the inflammatory component of osteoarthritis in vitro. However, the therapeutic failures of clinical trials evaluating anti-cytokines drugs highlight the lack of overall understanding of the effects of these cytokines on chondrocytes. METHODS Here, we generated a comprehensive transcriptomic and proteomic dataset of osteoarthritic chondrocytes treated with these cytokines to describe their pro-inflammatory signature and compare it to the transcriptome of non-osteoarthritic chondrocytes. Then, the dysregulations highlighted at the molecular level were functionally confirmed by real-time cellular metabolic assays. RESULTS We identified dysregulation of metabolic-related genes in osteoarthritic chondrocytes but not in non-osteoarthritic chondrocytes. A metabolic shift, toward increased glycolysis at the expense of mitochondrial respiration, was specifically confirmed in osteoarthritic chondrocytes treated with IL-1b or TNF. CONCLUSION These data show a strong and specific association between inflammation and metabolism in osteoarthritic chondrocytes, which was not found in non-osteoarthritic chondrocytes. This indicates that the link between inflammation and metabolic dysregulation may be exacerbated during chondrocyte damage in osteoarthritis. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis, as a common joint disease among middle-aged and elderly people, has many problems, such as diverse pathogenesis, poor prognosis and high recurrence rate, which seriously affects patients’ physical and mental health and reduces their quality of life. At present, the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis is not completely clear, and the treatment plan is mainly to relieve symptoms and ensure basic quality of life. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to explore the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Protein, as organic macromolecule which plays a major role in life activities, plays an important role in the development of disease. Through protein omics, this study found that with the increase of age, excessive sulfur oxidation occurred in endoplasmic reticulum of chondrocytes, which then drove the occurrence of inflammatory reaction, and provided a direction for the follow-up molecular targeted.
