Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is progressive disease characterised by cartilage degradation, subchondral bone remodelling and inflammation of the synovium. The disease is associated with obesity, mechanical load and age. However, multiple pro-inflammatory immune mediators regulate the expression of metalloproteinases, which take part in cartilage degradation. Furthermore, genetic factors also contribute to OA susceptibility. Recent studies have highlighted that epigenetic mechanisms may regulate the expression of OA-associated genes. This review aims to present the mechanisms of OA pathogenesis and summarise current evidence regarding the role of genetics and epigenetics in this process.

Antiangiogenic Effect of Dopamine and Dopaminergic Agonists as an Adjuvant Therapeutic Option in the Treatment of Cancer, Endometriosis, and Osteoarthritis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10199. [PMID: 37373348 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241210199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Dopamine (DA) and dopamine agonists (DA-Ag) have shown antiangiogenic potential through the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. They inhibit VEGF and VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR 2) functions through the dopamine receptor D2 (D2R), preventing important angiogenesis-related processes such as proliferation, migration, and vascular permeability. However, few studies have demonstrated the antiangiogenic mechanism and efficacy of DA and DA-Ag in diseases such as cancer, endometriosis, and osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore, the objective of this review was to describe the mechanisms of the antiangiogenic action of the DA-D2R/VEGF-VEGFR 2 system and to compile related findings from experimental studies and clinical trials on cancer, endometriosis, and OA. Advanced searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, SciFinder, ProQuest, EBSCO, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubChem, NCBI Bookshelf, DrugBank, livertox, and Clinical Trials. Articles explaining the antiangiogenic effect of DA and DA-Ag in research articles, meta-analyses, books, reviews, databases, and clinical trials were considered. DA and DA-Ag have an antiangiogenic effect that could reinforce the treatment of diseases that do not yet have a fully curative treatment, such as cancer, endometriosis, and OA. In addition, DA and DA-Ag could present advantages over other angiogenic inhibitors, such as monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a principal cause of aches and disability worldwide. It is characterized by the inflammation of the bone leading to degeneration and loss of cartilage function. Factors, including diet, age, and obesity, impact and/or lead to osteoarthritis. In the past few years, OA has received considerable scholarly attention owing to its increasing prevalence, resulting in a cumbersome burden. At present, most of the interventions only relieve short-term symptoms, and some treatments and drugs can aggravate the disease in the long run. There is a pressing need to address the safety problems due to osteoarthritis. A disintegrin-like and metalloprotease domain with thrombospondin type 1 repeats (ADAMTS) metalloproteinase is a kind of secretory zinc endopeptidase, comprising 19 kinds of zinc endopeptidases. ADAMTS has been implicated in several human diseases, including OA. For example, aggrecanases, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5, participate in the cleavage of aggrecan in the extracellular matrix (ECM); ADAMTS-7 and ADAMTS-12 participate in the fission of Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) into COMP lyase, and ADAMTS-2, ADAMTS-3, and ADAMTS-14 promote the formation of collagen fibers. In this article, we principally review the role of ADAMTS metalloproteinases in osteoarthritis. From three different dimensions, we explain how ADAMTS participates in all the following aspects of osteoarthritis: ECM, cartilage degeneration, and synovial inflammation. Thus, ADAMTS may be a potential therapeutic target in osteoarthritis, and this article may render a theoretical basis for the study of new therapeutic methods for osteoarthritis.

Abstract
A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) are major mediators in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover and have gained increasing interest over the last years as major players in ECM remodeling during tissue homeostasis and the development of diseases. Although, ADAMTSs are recognized in playing important roles during tissue remodeling, and loss of function in various member of the ADAMTS family could be associated with the development of numerous diseases, limited knowledge is available about their specific substrates and mechanism of action. In this chapter, we will review current knowledge about ADAMTSs and their use as disease biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjacent segmental intervertebral disk degeneration (ASDD) is a major complication secondary to lumbar fusion. Although ASSD pathogenesis remains unclear, the primary cause of intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) development is apoptosis of nucleus pulposus (NP). Raloxifene (RAL) could delay ASDD by inhibiting NP apoptosis. METHODS An ASDD rat model was established by ovariectomy (OVX) and posterolateral spinal fusion (PLF) on levels 4-5 of the lumbar vertebrae. Rats in the treatment groups were administered 1 mg/kg/d RAL by gavage for 12 weeks, following which, all animals were euthanized. Lumbar fusion, apoptosis, ASDD, and vertebrae micro-architecture were evaluated. RESULTS RAL maintained intervertebral disk height (DHI), delayed vertebral osteoporosis, reduced histological score, and inhibited apoptosis. The OVX+PLF+RAL group revealed upregulated expression of aggrecan and B-cell lymphoma-2 (bcl2), as well as significantly downregulated expression of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS-4), metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), caspase-3, BCL2-associated X (bax), and transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) analysis revealed higher bone volume fraction (BV/TV), bone mineral density (BMD), and trabecular number (Tb.N), and lower trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) in OVX+PLF+RAL group than in the OVX+PLF group. CONCLUSIONS RAL can postpone ASDD development in OVX rats through inhibiting extracellular matrix metabolic imbalance, NP cell apoptosis, and vertebral osteoporosis. These findings showed RAL as a potential therapeutic target for ASDD.

Abstract
The hyalectan family is composed of the proteoglycans aggrecan, versican, brevican and neurocan. Hyalectans, also known as lecticans, are components of the extracellular matrix of different tissues and play essential roles in key biological processes including skeletal development, and they are related to the correct maintenance of the vascular and central nervous system. For instance, hyalectans participate in the organization of structures such as perineural nets and in the regulation of neurite outgrowth or brain recovery following a traumatic injury. The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease domains, with thrombospondin motifs) family consists of 19 secreted metalloproteases. These enzymes also perform important roles in the structural organization and function of the extracellular matrix through interactions with other matrix components or as a consequence of their catalytic activity. In this regard, some of their preferred substrates are the hyalectans. In fact, ADAMTSs cleave hyalectans not only as a mechanism for clearance or turnover of proteoglycans but also to generate bioactive fragments which display specific functions. In this article we review some of the physiological and pathological effects derived from cleavages of hyalectans mediated by ADAMTSs.

Abstract
Low expression levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (vitamin D3) in the blood have been reported to be associated with the progression of osteoarthritis; however, the mechanisms by which this occurs remain unclear. The present study aimed to determine the effects of vitamin D3 on chondrocytes. MTT assays were used to determine whether vitamin D3 affects chondrocytes viability. Primary chondrocytes were treated with control culture medium, vitamin D3, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, TNF-α + PNU-74654 [Wingless-related integration site (Wnt)/β-catenin signaling pathway inhibitor] or TNF-α + vitamin D3. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting were utilized to measure the gene and protein expression of collagen II, aggrecan, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-13, A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-4, ADAMTS-5, Wnt-3a and nuclear β-catenin. The results demonstrated that TNF-α reduced the expression levels of aggrecan and collagen II, and increased the expression levels of MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5. Furthermore, vitamin D3 and PNU-74654 were observed to partially attenuate the effects induced by TNF-α. Moreover, similar findings were reported following co-treatment with vitamin D3 and TNF-α. Western blotting data revealed that TNF-α increased Wnt-3a and β-catenin protein levels in chondrocytes, while Vitamin D3 and PNU-74654 decreased the expression levels of Wnt-3a and nuclear β-catenin. In conclusion, the findings of the present study provided evidence to suggest that vitamin D3 may prevent articular cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritic disease progression by inhibiting the expression levels of MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 through suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. These results suggested that vitamin D3 may be of therapeutic value for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mandibular retrognathism is a common oral and maxillofacial deformity that may cause a series of physical and psychological diseases. Many studies indicated that genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of mandibular retrognathism. In this study, we assess the association between polymorphism rs67920064 in ADAMTS9 gene and mandibular retrognathism in a Chinese population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty participants (20 to 45 y, mean age 32.79 y) were classified into Class I or mandibular retrognathism skeletal-facial profile groups in accordance with cephalometric parameters. Thirty patients with mandibular retrognathism were assigned to the subject group; the others were assigned to the control group. Cephalometric parameters including sella-nasion A point, SN point B, condylion-gnathion (Gn), and gonion-Gn were recorded. Saliva samples from these participants were collected and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to distinguish different genotypes of the rs67920064 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).We evaluated the correlation between mandibular retrognathism and polymorphism rs67920064 in the ADAMTS9 gene. RESULTS The distribution of rs67920064 gene polymorphism in ADAMST9 gene conforms to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The A point-nasion-B point angle of the participants with the GA genotype of the rs67920064 SNP showed significantly decreased values (P<0.05), but there was no difference in length of mandibular body. Beyond that, the chi-square test showed that the GA genotype of rs67920064 SNP was highly associated with mandibular retrognathism (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our research shows that there is an association between polymorphism rs67920064 in the ADAMTS9 gene and mandibular retrognathism in the Chinese population. Individuals with the GA phenotype are more likely to have mandibular retrognathism.

Abstract
Zinc-dependent matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to metzincins that comprise not only 23 human MMPs but also other metalloproteinases, such as 21 human ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain) and 19 secreted ADAMTSs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase thrombospondin domain). The many setbacks from the clinical trials of broad-spectrum MMP inhibitors for cancer indications in the late 1990s emphasized the extreme complexity of the participation of these proteolytic enzymes in biology. This editorial mini-review summarizes the Special Issue, which includes four review articles and 10 original articles that highlight the versatile roles of MMPs, ADAMs, and ADAMTSs, in normal physiology as well as in neoplastic and destructive processes in tissue. In addition, we briefly discuss the unambiguous involvement of MMPs in wound healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigate the requirement of Aggrecan (Acan) cleavage during aortic wall development in a murine model with ADAMTS (a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease domain with thrombospondin-type motifs) 5 deficiency and bicuspid aortic valves. APPROACH Mice with altered extracellular matrix remodeling of proteoglycans will be examined for anomalies in ascending aortic wall development. Neo-epitope antibodies that recognize ADAMTS cleaved Acan fragments will be used to investigate the mechanistic requirement of Acan turnover, in aortic wall development. RESULTS Adamts5-/-;Smad2+/- mice exhibited a high penetrance of aortic anomalies (n=17/17); Adamts5-/-;Smad2+/- mice with bicuspid aortic valves (7/17) showed a higher number of anomalies than Adamts5-/-;Smad2+/- mice with tricuspid aortic valves. Single mutant Adamts5-/- mice also displayed a high penetrance of aortic anomalies (n=19/19) compared with wild type (n=1/11). Aortic anomalies correlated with Acan accumulation that was apparent at the onset of elastogenesis in Adamts5-/- mice. Neo-epitope antibodies that recognize the initial amino acids in the Acan cleaved fragments neo-FREEE, neo-GLGS, and neo-SSELE were increased in the Adamts5-/- aortas compared with WT. Conversely, neo-TEGE, which recognizes highly digested Acan core fragments, was reduced in Adamts5-/- mice. However, mice containing a mutation in the TEGE373↓374ALGSV site, rendering it noncleavable, had low penetrance of aortic anomalies (n=2/4). Acan neo-DIPEN and neo-FFGVG fragments were observed in the aortic adventitia; Acan neo-FFGVG was increased abnormally in the medial layer and overlapped with smooth muscle cell loss in Adamts5-/- aortas. CONCLUSIONS Disruption of ADAMTS5 Acan cleavage during development correlates with ascending aortic anomalies. These data indicate that the mechanism of ADAMTS5 Acan cleavage may be critical for normal aortic wall development.
