Implication of cell migration inducing hyaluronidase 1 (CEMIP) in hyaluronan degradation by synovial fibroblasts in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
This study examined their expression in synovial tissue and the relationship with molecular weight of HA in SF in knee osteoarthritis patients. Quantification of mRNA demonstrated that HYBID expression is significantly (5.4-fold) higher in osteoarthritic synovium than in normal control synovium, whereas TMEM2 expression level is similar between the two groups. By immunohistochemistry, HYBID was localized mainly to CD68-negative and fibroblast-specific protein 1-positive synovial lining cells and sub-lining fibroblasts in osteoarthritic synovium. The mRNA expression levels of HYBID, but not TMEM2, in osteoarthritic synovium...

Pinitol suppresses TNF- α-induced chondrocyte senescence.
Pinitol suppresses TNF-α-induced chondrocyte senescence. Cytokine. 2020 Mar 19;130:155047 Authors: Lou C, Deng A, Zheng H, Sun G, Zhao H, Li A, Liu Q, Li Y, Lv Z Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent joint disorder that is tightly correlated with age. As the body ages, cell replication and function decline until homeostasis can no longer be maintained. This process involves cellular senescence as well as replicative senescence. Telomere length, cell cycle arrest, expression of p16 and p53, and the release of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) are all markers of cell senes...

GAB2 inhibits chondrocyte apoptosis through PI3K-AKT signaling in osteoarthritis.
Abstract Cartilage degeneration is considered the main pathologic feature of osteoarthritis (OA). Cumulative evidence indicates that chondrocyte apoptosis is associated with cartilage degradation. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of chondrocyte apoptosis remains unclear. Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GAB2), an adaptor protein, belongs to the Gab family and is involved in various biologic processes. Here, we explored the role of GAB2 in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). GAB2 expression was markedly increased in OA articular cartilage. GAB2 expression was also increased in an in vitro mod...

SIRT4 suppresses the inflammatory response and oxidative stress in osteoarthritis.
This study aimed to explore the role of SIRT4 during OA and mechanisms implicated. We extracted total protein and mRNA of the cartilage from OA patients and isolated the chondrocytes from the cartilage in different degenerated degrees for cell culture. Collagen II and SIRT4 levels of the tissues were analyzed by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Chondrocytes were transferred with SIRT4-siRNA, treated with recombinant human SIRT4 protein for 24 h, respectively. Aggrecan, collagen I, collagen II, MMP-13, IL-6, TNF-α, SOD1, SOD2, and CAT expression, and ROS levels were in...

Suppression of p38/HBP1 pathway alleviates hyperosmotic stress-induced senescent progression of chondrocyte senescence.
This study aims to explore the effect of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and its downstream target HMG-box transcription factor 1 (HBP1) in the chondrocyte (CH) senescence caused by hyperosmotic stress. Human cartilage tissue with or without osteoarthritis (OA) were collected to detect the differential expression of p38 and HBP1 by Western blot. CHs were isolated from cartilage without OA and used the hyperosmotic medium to accelerate CH senescence in vitro. A p38 inhibitor and siRNA were used to mediate the expression of p38 and HBP1. The viability of CHs was determined by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assay. CH-related...

Metformin Mitigates Cartilage Degradation by Activating AMPK/SIRT1-Mediated Autophagy in a Mouse Osteoarthritis Model
Chondrocyte dysfunction is a key mechanism underlying osteoarthritis. Metformin has shown protective effects in many diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of metformin on autophagy and apoptosis in the process of osteoarthritis. A mouse osteoarthritis model was set up by surgically destabilizing medial meniscus in the knee. Intraarticular injection of metformin or vehicle was applied in the right knee for eight weeks. Mouse articular chondrocytes were isolated and passaged for in vitro experiments. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection was used to silence target genes. Western blotting, immunohi...

Long non-coding RNA PCAT-1 regulates apoptosis of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis by sponging miR-27b-3p
ConclusionsBased on the comparisons and analysis, we could conclude that lncRNA PCAT-1 regulated the apoptosis of chondrocytes through sponging miR-27b-3p in OA. PCAT-1 has potential values to act as a new therapeutic target for OA patients.

Inhibition of GPR17 with pranlukast protects against TNF- α-induced loss of type II collagen in ATDC5 cells.
In this study, we demonstrate that GPR17 is expressed in ATDC5 cells and is increased in response to TNF-α exposure. We also found that antagonism of GPR17 with pranlukast significantly inhibited oxidative stress by downregulating the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increasing the activity of super oxide dismutase (SOD) against TNF-α. Interestingly, treatment with pranlukast prevented TNF-α-induced reduction of type II collagen. Additionally, knockdown of GPR17 with siRNA ameliorated TNF-α-induced loss of type II collagen, suggesting the importance of the role of GPR17 in mediating the impairme...

IL-17A induction of ADAMTS-5 in differentiated THP-1 cells is modulated by the ERK signaling pathway.
Authors: Thou EMH, Choo QC, Chew CH Abstract Atherosclerosis is initiated when lipoproteins are trapped by proteoglycans in the arterial intima. Macrophages play a vital role in this disease, especially in the formation of foam cells and the regulation of pro-inflammatory responses. They also participate in plaque stabilization through the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases. Studies have reported the role of ADAMTS proteases in osteoarthritis and atherosclerotic lesions.In the present study, we have studied the effect of interleukin-17A (IL-17A) on the expression of ADAMTS-5 in the macrophage cell line THP-1. T...

TGF- β1/WISP1/Integrin-α interaction mediates human chondrocytes dedifferentiation.
CONCLUSIONS: TGF-β1 and WISP1 interact to induce CHs dedifferentiation, which was mainly by the mediation of the Integrin-αV subunit. On the contrary, Integrin-α5 shows a protective effect during the WISP1 caused CHs dedifferentiation. PMID: 32964955 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Activating Nrf2 signalling alleviates osteoarthritis development by inhibiting inflammasome activation.
In this study, we investigated the protective effect of Lico A on chondrocytes stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and surgically induced OA models. In vitro, Lico A could reduce the expression of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), Gasdermin D (GSDMD), caspase-1, interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-18, which indicated that Lico A attenuates LPS-induced chondrocytes pyroptosis. In addition, Lico A ameliorates the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) by enhancing the expression of aggrecan and collagen-II. Meanwhile, we found that Lico A inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome via nuclear factor erythroid-2-rela...

Sirt7 protects chondrocytes degeneration in osteoarthritis via autophagy activation.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these findings suggested that Sirt7 was suppressed in the degenerated cartilage. Sirt7 deficiency does harm to the autophagy level, affecting CHs metabolism, while the upregulation of Sirt7 activated autophagy and protected CHs degeneration. An appropriate increase in autophagy can protect CHs but has no effect on Sirt7 expression. PMID: 33015765 [PubMed - in process]
