Abstract
Drug therapy of osteoarthritis (OA) is limited by the short retention and lacking of stimulus-responsiveness after intra-articular (IA) injection. The weak acid microenvironment in joint provides a potential trigger for controlled drug release systems in the treatment of OA. Herein, we developed an pH-responsive metal − organic frameworks (MOFs) system modified by hyaluronic acid (HA) and loaded with an anti-inflammatory protocatechuic acid (PCA), designated as MOF@HA@PCA, for the therapy of OA. Results demonstrated that MOF@HA@PCA could smartly respond to acidic conditions in OA microenvironment and gradually release PCA, which could remarkably reduce synovial inflammation in both IL-1β induced chondrocytes and the OA joints. MOF@HA@PCA also down-regulated the expression of inflammatory markers of OA and promoted the expression of cartilage-specific makers. This work may provide a new insight for the design of efficient nanoprobes for precision theranostics of OA .

Zhang J, Fu B, Chen X, Chen D, Yang H. Protocatechuic acid attenuates anterior cruciate ligament transection-induced osteoarthritis by suppressing osteoclastogenesis. Exp Ther Med 2019; 19:232-240. [PMID: 31853294 PMCID: PMC6909799 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2019.8189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2018] [Accepted: 10/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is related to over-proliferation or differentiation of osteoclasts. Although protocatechuic acid (PCA) has been identified to inhibit osteoclast differentiation and stimulate apoptosis in mature osteoclasts, whether it can relieve OA is still unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of PCA on anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA and the potential mechanisms of action behind this effect. ACLT was performed on rats, which were then treated with or without PCA. C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I) and CTX-II were tested in knee joint protein extracts by ELISA. Damage to cartilage was evaluated using Safranin-O/Fast Green staining. Osteoclast-related gene and protein expression was assessed through reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and functional bone resorption pit assays were performed using RAW264.7 murine macrophage cells to determine the effects of PCA on osteoclastic formation and function, respectively, in vitro. Finally, the activity of osteoclastogenesis-related signaling pathways was evaluated by western blotting. Levels of CTX-II were relatively decreased and Safranin-O/fast green staining indicated milder changes in the articular cartilage in the PCA treatment group. PCA downregulated osteoclast specific markers and suppressed receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand-induced formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells, bone-resorption and pit formation. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Akt signaling as well as the downstream factors, were downregulated by PCA. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that PCA attenuated ACLT-induced OA by suppressing osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting the MAPK, ATK and NF-κB signaling pathways.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease, which is closely related to cartilage degradation. Anthocyanins, a natural flavonoid pigments, exhibit strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the effect of anthocyanin on inflammatory response in OA has not been investigated. Our results showed that cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) and peonidin-3-O-glucoside (P3G), the main anthocyanins found in three Thai purple rice cultivars, attenuated the inhibition of porcine cartilage degradation in an experimental model. The effects of three Thai purple rice extracts were related to their high concentration of anthocyanins. Moreover, protocatechuic acid (PA), the main metabolite of anthocyanin, has chondroprotective potential by reducing glycosaminoglycans and collagen breakdown in IL-1β/OSM-induced porcine cartilage explants in long-term condition. The induction of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) caused by IL-1β-stimulated human chondrocytes was also attenuated by C3G, P3G, and their metabolites. Furthermore, C3G, P3G, and their metabolites pretreatment significantly inhibited IκBα degradation, the level of p-p65, and ERK/MAPK pathway. Additionally, PA pretreatment enhanced the phosphorylation of JNK in IL-1β-stimulated human chondrocytes. These findings indicated that anthocyanin in Thai purple rice exhibited anti-inflammatory effects in IL-1β-stimulated human chondrocytes by inhibiting NF-κB and ERK/MAPK signaling pathway.

Insights into the Action Mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Osteoarthritis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2017; 2017:5190986. [PMID: 28203259 PMCID: PMC5292158 DOI: 10.1155/2017/5190986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2016] [Revised: 11/27/2016] [Accepted: 12/14/2016] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage destruction, synovial inflammation, and osteophyte formation. No effective treatments are available. The current pharmacological medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics, accompanied by possible adverse effects, might ameliorate OA symptoms. But they do not arrest the progression of OA. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) provides medical value by modification of disease and symptoms in OA. Valuable work on exploring TCM merits for OA patients has been investigated using modern technologies, although the complicated interacting network among the numerous components indicates the uncertainty of target specification. This review will provide an overview of the action mechanism of TCM in the last 5 years, discussing the TCM activities of anti-inflammation, antiapoptosis, antioxidation, anticatabolism, and proliferation in OA. TCM is a proposed medical option for OA treatment.
