Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common degenerative diseases characterised by joint pain, swelling and decreased mobility, with its main pathological features being articular synovitis, cartilage degeneration and osteophyte formation. Inflammatory cytokines and chemokines secreted by activated immunocytes can trigger various inflammatory and immune responses in articular cartilage and synovium, contributing to the genesis and development of OA. A series of monocyte/macrophage chemokines, including monocyte chemotaxis protein (MCP)-1/CCL2, MCP2/CCL8, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α/CCL3, MIP-1β/CCL4, MIP-3α/CCL20, regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted /CCL5, CCL17 and macrophage-derived chemokine/CCL22, was proven to transmit cell signals by binding to G protein-coupled receptors on recipient cell surface, mediating and promoting inflammation in OA joints. However, the underlying mechanism of these chemokines in the pathogenesis of OA remains still elusive. Here, published literature was reviewed, and the function and mechanisms of monocyte/macrophage chemokines in OA pathogenesis were summarised. The symptoms and disease progression of OA were found to be effectively alleviated when the expression of these chemokines is inhibited. Elucidating these mechanisms could contribute to further understand how OA develops and provide potential targets for the early diagnosis of arthritis and drug treatment to delay or even halt OA progression.

Macrophage-derived human resistin promotes perivascular adipose tissue dysfunction in experimental inflammatory arthritis. Biochem Pharmacol 2024; 224:116245.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Resistin is an adipokine that induces adipose tissue inflammation and activation of monocytes/macrophages via adenylate cyclase-associated protein-1 (CAP1). Resistin levels are increased in RA and might cause perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) dysfunction, leading to vascular damage and CVD. This study aimed to investigate the role of resistin in promoting PVAT dysfunction by increasing local macrophage and inflammatory cytokines content in antigen-induced arthritis (AIA). Resistin pharmacological effects were assessed by using C57Bl/6J wild-type (WT) mice, humanized resistin mice expressing human resistin in monocytes-macrophages (hRTN+/-/-), and resistin knockout mice (RTN-/-) with AIA and respective controls. We investigated AIA disease activity and functional, cellular, and molecular parameters of the PVAT. Resistin did not contribute to AIA disease activity and its concentrations were augmented in the PVAT and plasma of WT AIA and hRTN+/-/- AIA animals. In vitro exposure of murine arteries to resistin impaired vascular function by decreasing the anti-contractile effect of PVAT. WT AIA mice and hRTN+/-/- AIA mice exhibited PVAT dysfunction and knockdown of resistin prevented it. Macrophage-derived cytokines, markers of types 1 and 2 macrophages, and CAP1 expression were increased in the PVAT of resistin humanized mice with AIA, but not in knockout mice for resistin. This study reveals that macrophage-derived resistin promotes PVAT inflammation and dysfunction regardless of AIA disease activity. Resistin might represent a translational target to reduce RA-driven vascular dysfunction and CVD.

Abstract
Cartilage plays a crucial role in the human body by forming long bones during development and growth to bear loads on joints and intervertebral discs. However, the increasing prevalence of cartilage degenerative disorders is a growing public health concern, especially due to the poor innate regenerative capacity of cartilage. Chondrocytes are a source of several inflammatory mediators that play vital roles in the pathogenesis of cartilage disorders. Among these mediators, chemokines have been explored as potential contributors to cartilage degeneration and regeneration. Our review focuses on the progress made during the last ten years in identifying the regulators and roles of chemokines and their receptors in different mechanisms related to chondrocytes and cartilage. Recent findings have demonstrated that chemokines influence cartilage both positively and negatively. Their induction and involvement in either process depends on the local molecular environment and is both site- and time-dependent. One of the challenges in defining the role of chemokines in cartilage pathology or regeneration is the apparent redundancy in the interaction of chemokines with their receptors. Hence, it is crucial to determine, for each situation, whether targeting specific chemokines or their receptors will help in developing effective therapeutic strategies for cartilage repair.

Effect of short-term high fat diet on resistin levels and expression of autophagy-related genes in the cartilage of male rats. Sci Rep 2022; 12:15313. [PMID: 36097281 PMCID: PMC9468003 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-19481-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Obesity is a significant risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, the precise molecular mechanisms linking obesity to OA remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effect of short-term high-fat diet (HFD) on the development of OA and the possible role of the adipokine resistin and autophagy-related genes in mediating this effect. Thirty adult male Wistar rats were equally divided into 2 groups: control and obese groups. Body mass index (BMI), levels of lipid profile, glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR index were significantly higher in the obese group compared with control. Our results revealed significantly higher serum and cartilage resistin levels with a significant increase in the mRNA expressions of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) as well as protein levels of IL-1β, matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), ADAMTS 5 (aggrecanase-2) and caspase-3 in the cartilage of obese rats. The HFD induced a significant upregulation of autophagy related 5 (ATG5), beclin-1 and light chain 3 (LC3) mRNA expressions and a significant downregulation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) expression in cartilage. The protein levels of cartilage ATG5 were also significantly elevated in HFD-fed group. In conclusion, we suggested that increased levels of resistin and expression of autophagy-related genes may contribute in part, to OA development in HFD-fed rats. This provides a novel insight into the early molecular changes in the cartilage associated with obesity.

Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance Is Correlated to Adipokine Disorder and Inflammatory Activity in Female Knee Osteoarthritis Patients in a Chinese Population. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2020; 13:2109-2118. [PMID: 32606869 PMCID: PMC7310993 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s249025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study was to evaluate the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) in female knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients in a Chinese population. The associations between METS-IR and adipokines, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 4686 women from the 2011 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and 108 women who underwent arthroplasty of KOA at a university hospital. The clinical data were collected, and adipokines were evaluated. METS-IR was calculated in the KOA patients and compared with the national baseline. Logistic regression analyses were applied to explore the associations of METS-IR with adipokines, ESR, and CRP. RESULTS Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of METS-IR and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in national baseline showed an area under the curve value of 0.851, with sensitivity of 0.777 and specificity of 0.772. The METS-IR of KOA was higher than the national baseline level (40.29 ± 6.98 vs 36.20 ± 8.50, P < 0.01), even after adjusting age. In addition, the METS-IR was higher in patients with KOA who had MetS than in those without metabolic syndrome (nMetS), even after adjusting body mass index (BMI). After adjusting for age and BMI, METS-IR was associated with CRP (OR 1.238, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.088, 1.409, P < 0.01), ESR (OR 1.124, 95% CI 1.008, 1.254, P = 0.036), plasma leptin (OR 1.123, 95% CI 1.052, 1.199, P < 0.01), plasma resistin (OR 1.134, 95% CI 1.011, 1.271, P = 0.031), and plasma adiponectin (OR 0.865, 95% CI 0.771, 0.971, P = 0.014). CONCLUSION METS-IR in female KOA was higher than that of the national baseline. The METS-IR was related to adipokine disorder and inflammatory activity. These findings suggest that METS-IR can be used to evaluate the degree of involvement of MetS in KOA.

MicroRNA Mediate Visfatin and Resistin Induction of Oxidative Stress in Human Osteoarthritic Synovial Fibroblasts Via NF-κB Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20205200.

Abstract
Synovial membrane inflammation actively participate to structural damage during osteoarthritis (OA). Adipokines, miRNA, and oxidative stress contribute to synovitis and cartilage destruction in OA. We investigated the relationship between visfatin, resistin and miRNA in oxidative stress regulation, in human OA synovial fibroblasts. Cultured cells were treated with visfatin and resistin. After 24 h, we evaluated various pro-inflammatory cytokines, metalloproteinases (MMPs), type II collagen (Col2a1), miR-34a, miR-146a, miR-181a, antioxidant enzymes, and B-cell lymphoma (BCL)2 by qRT-PCR, apoptosis and mitochondrial superoxide production by cytometry, p50 nuclear factor (NF)-κB by immunofluorescence. Synoviocytes were transfected with miRNA inhibitors and oxidative stress evaluation after adipokines stimulus was performed. The implication of NF-κB pathway was assessed by the use of a NF-κB inhibitor (BAY-11-7082). Visfatin and resistin significantly up-regulated gene expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,MMP-1, MMP-13 and reduced Col2a1. Furthermore, adipokines induced apoptosis and superoxide production, the transcriptional levels of BCL2, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-2, catalase (CAT), nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2 (NRF2), miR-34a, miR-146a, and miR-181a. MiRNA inhibitors counteracted adipokines modulation of oxidative stress. Visfatin and resistin effects were suppressed by BAY-11-7082. Our data suggest that miRNA may represent possible mediators of oxidative stress induced by visfatin and resistin via NF-κB pathway in human OA synoviocytes.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OvCa) exhibits a specific predilection for metastasis to the omentum. Our earlier studies highlighted the tumour-suppressor effect of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) in OvCa through multi-faceted roles inhibiting cancer cell interactions within the peritoneal milieu. The goal of this study is to investigate the role of SPARC in OvCa interactions with omental adipocytes and its role in OvCa colonization in the omentum. We employed multi-pronged approach using primary omental adipocytes from Sparc knockout mice, genetically engineered human omental adipocytes in 3D co-cultures with OvCa cells, as well as treatment with recombinant SPARC protein. We show that SPARC suppresses multistep cascade in OvCa omental metastasis. SPARC inhibited in vivo and adipocyte-induced homing, proliferation, and invasion of OvCa cells. SPARC suppressed metabolic programming of both adipocytes and OvCa cells and exerted an inhibitory effect of adipocyte differentiation and their phenotypic switch to cancer-associated phenotype. Mechanistic studies revealed that this effect is mediated through inhibition of cEBPβ-NFkB-AP-1 transcription machinery. These findings define a novel and functionally important role of SPARC in OvCa and not only bridge the knowledge gap but highlight the need to consider SPARC protein expression in therapeutic development.

Abstract
Background Resistin may be involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), but a systematic understanding of the role of resistin in OA is lacking. Methods We reviewed studies that evaluated the role of resistin in OA. The expression levels of resistin in vitro experiments and OA/rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were analyzed. We also studied potential resistin receptors and the signaling pathways that these receptors activate, ultimately leading to cartilage degeneration. Results Resistin levels in both the serum and synovial fluid were higher in OA and RA patients than in healthy subjects. Overall, resistin levels are much higher in serum than in synovial fluid. In human cartilage, resistin induces the expression of proinflammatory factors such as degradative enzymes, leading to the inhibition of cartilage matrix synthesis, perhaps by binding to Toll-like receptor 4 and the adenylyl cyclase-associated protein 1 receptor, which then activates the p38-mitogen-activated phosphate kinase, protein kinase A–cyclic AMP, nuclear factor-κB, and C/enhancer-binding protein β signaling pathways. Conclusion Resistin levels are higher in OA patients than in healthy controls; however, the precise role of resistin in the pathogenesis of OA needs to be studied further. Resistin may be a novel therapeutic target in OA in the future.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome-associated osteoarthritis (Met-OA) is a clinical phenotype defined by the role of obesity and metabolic syndrome as risk factors and by chronic low-grade inflammation. Obesity is an established risk factor for osteoarthritis not only at the knee, but also at the hands. Metabolic syndrome is also a risk factor for osteoarthritis, and a cumulative effect of the various syndrome components combines with an independent effect of each individual component (diabetes, dyslipidemia, and/or hypertension). The higher incidence of osteoarthritis in patients with obesity is related to several factors. One is the larger fat mass, which imposes heavier loads on the joints. Another is endocrine production by the adipose tissue of proinflammatory mediators (cytokines, adipokines, fatty acids, and reactive oxygen species) that adversely affect joint tissues. Obesity-related dysbiosis and sarcopenia were more recently implicated in the association between obesity and osteoarthritis. Finally, patients who have osteoarthritis, with or without metabolic syndrome, are at increased risk for cardiovascular mortality due not only to a sedentary lifestyle, but also to shared risk factors. Among these is the low-grade inflammation seen in patients with metabolic disorders. Thus, primary prevention and appropriate management of obesity and metabolic syndrome may delay the development and slow the progression of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Growing evidence indicates the important role of adipokines and microRNA (miRNA) in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of visfatin and resistin on some miRNA (34a, 140, 146a, 155, 181a, let-7e), metalloproteinases (MMPs), and collagen type II alpha 1 chain (Col2a1) in human OA chondrocytes and in the T/C-28a2 cell line. The implication of nuclear factor (NF)-κB in response to adipokines was also assessed. Chondrocytes were stimulated with visfatin (5 or 10 μg/mL) and resistin (50 or 100 ng/mL) with or without NF-κB inhibitor (BAY-11-7082, 1 μM) for 24 h. Viability and apoptosis were detected by MMT and cytometry, miRNA, MMP-1, MMP-13, and Col2a1 by qRT-PCR and NF-κB activation by immunofluorescence. Visfatin and resistin significantly reduced viability, induced apoptosis, increased miR-34a, miR-155, miR-181a, and miR-let7e, and reduced miR-140 and miR-146a gene expression in OA chondrocytes. MMP-1, MMP-13, and Col2a1 were significantly modulated by treatment of OA chondrocytes with adipokines. Visfatin and resistin significantly increased NF-κB activation, while the co-treatment with BAY11-7082 did not change MMPs or Col2a1 levels beyond that caused by single treatment. Visfatin and resistin regulate the expression levels of some miRNA involved in OA pathogenesis and exert catabolic functions in chondrocytes via the NF-κB pathway. These data confirm the complex relationship between adipokines and miRNA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was to investigate whether resistin induces the expression of chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4) during Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and whether toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) and the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway are involved in this process. METHODS The expression pattern of resistin and CCL4 in different degenerated human nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues were measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR); Effect of resistin on the migration of macrophages was measured by cell migration assay. Resistin-induced CCL4 expression were analyzed by qPCR, Enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) and cell immunofluorescence. Involvement of TLR-4, p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK), and NF-κB signaling pathways were studied by small interfering RNA (siRNA) or Lenti-virus mediated knockdown, co-immunoprecipitation, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. RESULTS Expression of resistin and CCL4 was elevated in degenerated NP tissue. Resistin promoted macrophage migration through CCL4 and its receptor. Expression of CCL4 was significantly increased by resistin treatment. The pharmacological inhibition or siRNA knockdown of TLR-4 blocked the resistin-induced CCL4 expression. Co-immunoprecipitation data confirmed the binding of resistin to TLR4. Pharmacological inhibition of the NF-κB and p38-MAPK signaling pathways attenuated the resistin-induced CCL4 expression. A ChIP assay and lentivirus mediated knockdown showed that resistin regulate CCL4 expression through p65. CONCLUSION This study shows that resistin binds to TLR4 and increase the expression of CCL4 through p38-MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways in NP cells, and this expression causes infiltration of macrophages. This study might provide a feasible therapeutic target for controlling the inflammatory response associated with IVDD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Altered synovial levels of various adipokines (factors secreted by fat as well as other tissues) have been associated with osteoarthritis (OA) onset and progression. However, the metabolic effects of adipokines on joint tissues, in particular the fibrocartilaginous menisci, are not well understood. This study investigated effects of several adipokines on release of recently synthesized extracellular matrix in bovine cartilage and meniscus tissue explants. MATERIALS AND METHODS After labeling newly synthesized proteins and sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs) with 3H-proline and 35S-sulfate, respectively; bovine cartilage and meniscus tissue explants were cultured for 6 days in basal medium (control) or media supplemented with adipokines (1 µg/ml of leptin, visfatin, adiponectin, or resistin) or 20 ng/ml interleukin-1 (IL-1). Release of radiolabel and sGAG to the media during culture and the final explant water, DNA, sGAG, and retained radiolabel were measured. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2) and MMP-3 activities were assessed using gelatin and casein zymography, respectively. RESULTS Water and DNA contents were not significantly altered by any treatment. Visfatin, adiponectin, resistin, and IL-1 stimulated sGAG release from meniscus, whereas only IL-1 stimulated sGAG release from cartilage. Release of 3H and 35S was stimulated not only by resistin and IL-1 in meniscus but also by IL-1 in cartilage. Retained 3H was unaltered by any treatment, while retained 35S was reduced by visfatin, resistin, and IL-1 in meniscus and by only IL-1 in cartilage. Resistin and IL-1 elevated active MMP-2 and total MMP-3 in meniscus, whereas cartilage MMP-3 activity was elevated by only IL-1. CONCLUSIONS Resistin stimulated rapid and extensive catabolism of meniscus tissue, similar to IL-1, whereas adipokines minimally affected cartilage. Release of newly synthesized matrix was similar to overall release in both tissues. These observations provide further indications that meniscal tissue is more sensitive to pro-inflammatory factors than cartilage and also suggest further study of resistin's role in OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent joint disorder and one of the leading cause of disability. During a long time, it was considered as the consequence of aging and mechanical stress on cartilage. Recent advances in the knowledge of OA have highlighted that it is a whole joint disease with early modifications of synovium and subchondral bone but also that it is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome through systemic mechanisms. In the past year, type 2 diabetes has been described in two meta-analyzes as an independent risk factor for OA. In vivo models of diabetes corroborated epidemiological studies. Indeed, diabetic rodents display a spontaneous and a more severe experimental OA than their non-diabetic counterparts, which can be partially prevented by diabetes treatment (insulin, pioglitazone). The negative impact of diabetes on joints could be explain by the induction of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines but also by advanced age products accumulation in joint tissues exposed to chronic high glucose concentration. Insulin resistance might also impair joint tissue because of a local insulin resistance of diabetic synovial membrane but also by the systemic low grade inflammation state related to obesity and insulin resistant state.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteophyte formation in osteoarthritis (OA) is mediated by increased osteoblast activity, which is -in turn- regulated by the Wnt signaling pathway. Obesity is regarded a risk factor in OA, yet little is known about the interaction between adipose tissue-derived factors, the adipokines, and bone formation, although adipokines are associated with the pathogenesis of OA. Therefore, the effect of adipokines on bone and cartilage forming cells and osteophyte development was analyzed. METHODS Human OA osteophytes were histologically characterized and adipokine expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Osteoblasts and chondrocytes were isolated from OA tissue and stimulated with adiponectin, resistin, or visfatin. Cytokine and osteoblast/chondrocyte markers were quantified and activation of Wnt and p38 MAPK signaling was analyzed. RESULTS Adiponectin, resistin, and visfatin were expressed in OA osteophytes by various articular cell types. Stimulation of OA osteoblasts with adiponectin and of OA chondrocytes with visfatin led to an increased release of proinflammatory mediators but not to osteoblast differentiation or activation. Additionally, visfatin increased matrix degrading factors in chondrocytes. Wnt signaling was not altered by adipokines, but adiponectin induced p38 MAPK signaling in osteoblasts. CONCLUSION Adipokines are present in OA osteophytes, and adiponectin and visfatin increase the release of proinflammatory mediators by osteoblasts and chondrocytes. The effects of adiponectin were mediated by p38 MAPK but not Wnt signaling in osteoblasts. Therefore, the results support the idea that adipokines do not directly influence osteophyte development but the proinflammatory conditions in OA.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Rat nucleus pulposus (NP) cells were activated with resistin with or without p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibition. The expression of a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motif-5 (ADAMTS-5), which plays an important role in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), was determined. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to demonstrate whether resistin can influence the ADAMTS-5 expression and to further investigate the underlying mechanisms. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Obesity has been demonstrated to promote IDD, whereas the exact mechanism remains poorly understood. Resistin, as an important adipokine, is increased with obesity and has been shown to play pro-inflammatory and catabolic role in cartilage metabolism. However, the effect of resistin on the catabolic enzymes within NP cells remains unknown. METHODS We exposed NP cells to resistin, and the transcriptional activity, gene expression, and protein levels of ADAMTS-5 were measured by luciferase reporter assay, qRT-polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence, and western blot, respectively. The activation of p38 MAPK pathways was detected using western blot analysis. RESULTS Resistin had no effect on cell viability. Resistin increased ADAMTS-5 expression in rat NP cells time and dose dependently. The p38 MAPK signaling pathway was activated after exposure to resistin. Treatment with p38 inhibitor decreased the upregulation of ADAMTS-5 by resistin. CONCLUSION The current study, for the first time, investigated the role of resistin in ADAMTS-5 regulation in IDD. These findings provide novel evidence supporting the causative role of obesity in IDD, which is important to develop novel preventative or therapeutic treatment in disc degenerative disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the ability of chemokines in plasma to detect the presence of pre-X-rays defined knee degeneration and the extent (burden). METHODS A total of 181 subjects (75 control subjects, 47 pre-X-KD patients and 50 X-KOA patients) were included and subdivided into three subgroups. Articular cartilage loss in pre-X-KD patients were scored on the basis of the ICRS classification during the arthroscopy or documented on MRI with chondral WORMS. The severity of X-KOA was graded using the Kellgren-Lawrence classification through the posterior-anterior knee X-rays. The concentrations of the inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in plasma were quantified using Luminex microbead-based suspension array (SA) and were cross-validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS CCL3 in plasma showed the highest ability to discriminate pre-X-KD patients from the controls with an AUC of 0.799. At a cutoff value of 0.168 pg/ml, the sensitivity was 70.21%, the specificity was 96.00%, the positive predictive value was 91.67% and the negative predictive value was 83.72%. As to define disease burden, the plasma levels of resistin, IL6, IL8, CCL3 and CCL4 showed significant association with the severity of X-rays defined knee OA, with regard to the KL classification. Moreover, significant elevation of IL6, IL8, CCL3 and CCL4 levels in plasma were observed in severe knee OA patients (KL grade IV) compared with those with pre-X-KD (KL grade 0-I). CONCLUSION We firstly showed that the plasma CCL3 could be potential serum biomarker for knee OA with the capacity to detect pre-X-rays defined changes and stage the severity of damage in knee.
