Effects of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins on Cadmium-Induced Extracellular Matrix Damage via Inhibiting the ERK1/2 Signaling Pathway in Chicken Chondrocytes. Vet Sci 2025; 12:317. [PMID: 40284819 PMCID: PMC12031251 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci12040317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2025] [Revised: 03/10/2025] [Accepted: 03/28/2025] [Indexed: 04/29/2025] Open
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic, non-essential metal that primarily enters animal bodies through the digestive and respiratory systems, leading to damage to multiple organs and tissues. Cd can accumulate in cartilage and induce damage to chondrocytes. Procyanidins (PAs), also known as concentrated tannic acid or oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), exhibit diverse biological and pharmacological activities. However, the mechanism of OPCs alleviates Cd-induced damage to chondrocytes in chickens remains to be further explored in vitro. Chondrocytes were isolated from both ends of the tibia of 17-day-old SPF chicken embryos, and then subsequently treated with various concentrations of Cd (0, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 μmol/L) or OPCs (0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μmol/L) to investigate the mechanism underlying extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and damage. Cd reduced cell viability, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) secretion, and ECM degradation in chondrocytes by decreasing the expression of type II collagen alpha 1 (COL2A1) and aggrecan (ACAN) while increasing the release of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), along with elevated levels of matrix-degrading enzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinases 1 (MMP1), MMP10, and MMP13, and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS4) and ADAMTS5. Cd induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) and the expression of matrix-degrading enzymes, impairing ECM synthesis, an effect that could be alleviated by ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126. Chondrocytes were treated with 5 μmol/L Cd and 10 μmol/L OPCs, and it was found that OPCs inhibited the activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway and the expression of matrix-degrading enzymes, while promoting ECM synthesis and alleviating Cd-induced ECM damage in chickens. This study provides a theoretical basis for clinical research on OPCs with respect to the prevention and treatment of Cd-induced chondrogenic diseases in poultry.

Preliminary study on the potential damage of cigarette smoke extract in 3D human chondrocyte culture. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2025; 61:214-227. [PMID: 39733182 DOI: 10.1007/s11626-024-00999-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2024] [Accepted: 11/15/2024] [Indexed: 12/30/2024]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of articular cartilage. The role of cigarette smoke (CS) in OA is debated, with some studies suggesting a protective effect while others indicate it may pose a risk. Our preliminary findings suggest a link between smoking in young adults and severe knee OA, though the extent of this contribution is unclear. This study investigates the impact of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on human chondrocytes. Human chondrocyte cultures were exposed to varying concentrations (0-10%) of CSE for 7 d. We evaluated cell viability, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, metalloproteinase expression and cytokines levels, and antioxidant enzymes (SOD1 and CAT) using calcein staining, immunohistochemistry and ELISA. Oxidative stress (OS) was assessed by measuring hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) levels. Results were analyzed using ANOVA with Tukey post hoc tests, and Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated. Cell viability decreased at 10% CSE, and ECM components were diminished. MMP9 and MMP13 expression significantly increased at 5% and 10% CSE. H2O2 levels peaked at 1%, while IL-1β peaked at 2.5%. Antioxidant expression (SOD1 and CAT) decreased at higher concentrations, and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) was notably expressed. MMPs expression was negatively correlated with both viability and ECM components. CSE induces cellular damage, alters ECM composition, and upregulates MMP expression via OS and IL-1β, while diminishing antioxidant defenses. These findings suggest that smoking may disrupt articular cartilage homeostasis, highlighting the need for further investigation into oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to establish the correlation between shifts in serum trace element (TE) levels and the progression of osteoarthritis (OA), while also exploring the underlying causal relationship between these variables. METHODS An investigation was conducted, which included a systematic review, a meta-analysis of observational studies, and a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. RESULTS This meta-analysis revealed significant differences in serum levels of copper, manganese, cadmium, and selenium between OA patients and healthy controls, after adjusting for heterogeneity. Specifically, significant disparities were observed for copper (SMD 0.118 [95 % CI: 0.061 ∼ 0.175], P < 0.001), manganese (SMD -0.180 [95 % CI: -0.326 ∼ -0.034], P = 0.016), cadmium (SMD 0.227 [95 % CI: 0.131 ∼ 0.322], P < 0.001), and selenium (SMD -0.138 [95 % CI: -0.209 ∼ -0.068], P < 0.001), while zinc levels did not show a significant difference (SMD -0.02 [95 % CI: -0.077 ∼ 0.038], P = 0.503). Further, MR analysis suggested a causal link between genetically predicted serum copper level changes and OA development, but not for other TEs. CONCLUSION The study suggests that there is an association between the occurrence of OA and variations in serum levels of copper, manganese, cadmium, and selenium. Elevated serum copper may play a pivotal role. Further research is needed to explore the therapeutic potential of TE level modulation in OA management.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal pollutant, inflicts widespread damage on various organs and tissues, including cartilage, where it induces chondrocyte apoptosis. Angelica sinensis polysaccharides (ASP), a key active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Angelica sinensis, have been shown to possess anti-apoptotic effects on chondrocytes. This study investigates the in vitro effects of ASP on alleviating Cd-induced apoptosis in layer chicken chondrocytes, focusing on the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway mediated by the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. Chondrocytes were isolated from layer chicken embryos and confirmed to express collagen type II alpha 1 (Col2a1). We found that Cd triggered apoptosis in the chondrocytes; however, the use of the JNK inhibitor SP 600125 mitigated mitochondrial structural damage casused by Cd, indicating the involvement of JNK signaling in this process. Furthermore, ASP effectively alleviated Cd-induced apoptosis in layer chicken chondrocytes by inhibiting JNK signaling in vitro. Our findings provide a theoretical foundation for the clinical application of ASP in preventing Cd-induced cartilage diseases in poultry.

Abstract
Identifying key genes involved in Cadmium (Cd) response pathways in plants and developing low-Cd-accumulating cultivars may be the most effective and eco-friendly strategy to tackle the problem of Cd pollution in crops. In our previous study, Stressseventy subfamily A 4 (SSA4) was identified to be associated with Cd tolerance in yeast. Here, we investigated the mechanism of SSA4 in regulating Cd tolerance in yeast. ScSSA4 binds to POre Membrane 34 (POM34), a key component of nuclear pore complex (NPC), and translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, where it regulates the expression of its downstream gene, Viable in a Hal3 Sit4 background 1 (VHS1), resulting in reduced Cd accumulation in yeast cells. Additionally, we identified a Chinese cabbage SSA4 gene, BrSSA4c, which could enhance the Cd tolerance in Chinese cabbage. This study offers new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of Cd tolerance in yeast, a model organism, and paves the way for the genetic enhancement of Cd tolerance in Chinese cabbage.

Molecular mechanisms of environmental pollutant-induced cartilage damage: from developmental disorders to osteoarthritis. Arch Toxicol 2024; 98:2763-2796.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to review the molecular mechanisms of the adverse effects of environmental pollutants on chondrocytes and extracellular matrix (ECM). Existing data demonstrate that both heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and arsenic (As), as well as organic pollutants, including polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), bisphenol A, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), pesticides, and certain other organic pollutants that target cartilage ontogeny and functioning. Overall, environmental pollutants reduce chondrocyte viability through the induction apoptosis, senescence, and inflammatory response, resulting in cell death and impaired ECM production. The effects of organic pollutants on chondrocyte development and viability were shown to be mediated by binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling and modulation of non-coding RNA expression. Adverse effects of pollutant exposures were observed in articular and growth plate chondrocytes. These mechanisms also damage chondrocyte precursors and subsequently hinder cartilage development. In addition, pollutant exposure was shown to impair chondrogenesis by inhibiting the expression of Sox9 and other regulators. Along with altered Runx2 signaling, these effects also contribute to impaired chondrocyte hypertrophy and chondrocyte-to-osteoblast trans-differentiation, resulting in altered endochondral ossification. Several organic pollutants including PCDD/Fs, PCBs and PAHs, were shown to induce transgenerational adverse effects on cartilage development and the resulting skeletal deformities. Despite of epidemiological evidence linking human environmental pollutant exposure to osteoarthritis or other cartilage pathologies, the data on the molecular mechanisms of adverse effects of environmental pollutant exposure on cartilage tissue were obtained from studies in laboratory rodents, fish, or cell cultures and should be carefully extrapolated to humans, although they clearly demonstrate that cartilage should be considered a putative target for environmental pollutant toxicity.

Abstract
Established risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA) include obesity, joint injury, age, race, and genetics. However, the relationship between cigarette smoking and OA has yet to be established. In the present study, we have employed the use of cigarette smoke extract (CSE), the water-soluble vapor phase of cigarette smoke, with porcine cartilage explants to investigate the effects of cigarette smoking on cartilage catabolism at the tissue level. Articular cartilage explants were first exposed to 2.5%, 5%, and 10% CSE to assess its effects on cartilage homeostasis. Following, the effects of CSE on OA-like inflammation was observed by culturing explants with a combined treatment of IL-1β and TNF-α and 10% CSE (CSE + OA). Cartilage explants were assessed for changes in viability, biochemical composition, extracellular matrix (ECM) integrity, and equilibrium mechanical properties (aggregate modulus and hydraulic permeability). CSE alone leads to both a time- and dose-dependent decrease in chondrocyte viability but does not significantly affect sGAG content, percent sGAG loss, or the ECM integrity of cartilage explants. When IL-1β and TNF-α were combined with 10% CSE, this led to a synergistic effect with more significant losses in viability, significantly more sGAG loss, and significantly higher production of ROS than OA-like inflammation only. Cartilage explant equilibrium mechanical properties were unaffected. Within the timeframe of this study, CSE alone does not cause OA but when combined with OA-like inflammation leads to worsened articular cartilage degeneration as measured by chondrocyte viability, sGAG loss, proteoglycan staining, and ROS production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a global public health problem, and limited information is available on the effects of Cd on OA. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between Cd and OA. METHOD Weighted multivariable logistic regression model, trend test, restricted cubic spline, and stratified analysis were used to study the association between BCd and OA. RESULTS In the two regression models of weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis, the correlation between BCd and OA was positive. Compared with the lowest quartile of BCd exposure, the highest quartile had a 2.03-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.67 to 2.47), displaying a dose-response relationship (P for trend <0.00001). The restrictive cubic spline shows a positive linear relationship between BCd and OA. CONCLUSION There was a positive linear relationship between BCd and OA and a dose-response relationship.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a potentially toxic element able to interfere with cellular functions and lead to disease or even death. Cd accumulation has been demonstrated in cartilage, where it can induce damage in joints. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CdCl2 on primary cultures of human chondrocytes and the possible protective effect of seleno-methionine (Se-Met). Human primary articular chondrocytes were cultured and treated as follows: control groups, cells challenged with 7.5 μM and 10 μM CdCl2 alone, and cells pretreated with 10 and 20 μM Se-Met and then challenged with 7.5 μM and 10 μM CdCl2. Twenty-four hours after incubation, cell viability, histological evaluation with hematoxylin-eosin stain, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay were performed. Furthermore, reverse transcription-PCR was carried out to evaluate mRNA levels of BAX, BAK1, CASP-3, and CASP-9. After CdCl2 challenge at both doses, a reduced cell viability and an overexpression of BAX, BAK1, CASP-3, and CASP-9 genes, as well as a high number of TUNEL-positive cells, were demonstrated, all parameters becoming higher as the dose of CdCl2 was increased. The pretreatment with Se-Met lowered the expression of all considered genes, improved cell viability and morphological changes, and reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells. It was concluded that Se-Met plays a protective role against CdCl2-induced structural and functional changes in chondrocytes in vitro, as it improved cell viability and showed a positive role in the context of the apoptotic pathways. It is therefore suggested that a translational, multifaceted approach, with plant-based diets, bioactive functional foods, nutraceuticals, micronutrients, and drugs, is possibly advisable in situations of environmental pollution caused by potentially toxic elements.

Abstract
Heavy metals found in the environment, including arsenic (As) pose significant risks to human health and present a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). This study researched the impact of As on cartilage degeneration by focusing on the role of As in causing OA in mice. We employed chemical inhibition and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analyses to identify the effect of As on chondrocytes as well as studying its accumulation in organs after oral administration in mice. Additionally, the study examined the effect of intra-articular As treatment on the levels of crucial catabolic factors, namely Hif-2α (Epas1) and Zip8 (Slc39a8), during OA progression. Mice that were administered As orally in conjunction with surgically induced joint instability, had heightened cartilage destruction compared to wild-type mice. Quantitative analysis revealed a significant increase in Hif-2α and Zip8 mRNA expression (p = 0.0352,0.0004 respectively) and protein expression (p = 0.0101,0.008 respectively) post oral administration. Our findings illustrated the role of As in influencing crucial cellular functions that are triggered by reactive oxygen species. These events consequently activate the Akt/Hif-2α/NF-κB pathways, leading to disruptions in articular cartilage homeostasis. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of As on the development of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Even though smoking has been scarcely studied in osteoarthritis (OA) etiology, it is considered a controversial risk factor for the disease. Exposure to tobacco smoke has been reported to promote oxidative stress (OS) as part of the damage mechanism. The aim of this study was to assess whether smoking increases cartilage damage through the generation of OS. Peripheral blood (PB) and synovial fluid (SF) samples from patients with OA were analyzed. The samples were stratified according to smoking habit, Kellgren-Lawrence score, pain, and cotinine concentrations in PB. Malondialdehyde (MDA), methylglyoxal (MGO), advanced protein oxidation products (APOPs), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were assessed; the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT), as well as the activity of arginase, which favors the destruction of cartilage, was determined. When stratified by age, for individuals <60 years, the levels of MDA and APOPs and the activity of MPO and GST were higher, as well as antioxidant system activity in the smoking group (OA-S). A greater degree of pain in the OA-S group increased the concentrations of APOPs and arginase activity (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). Arginase activity increased significantly with a higher degree of pain (P < 0.01). Active smoking can be an important risk factor for the development of OA by inducing systemic OS in young adults, in addition to reducing antioxidant enzymes in older adults and enhancing the degree of pain and loss of cartilage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease and causes chronic pain and disability to the elderly. Several risk factors are involved, such as aging, obesity, genetic susceptibility, and environmental factors. We conducted a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) and chemical-related gene set enrichment analysis (CGSEA) to investigate the susceptibility genes and environmental factors. METHODS TWAS analysis was conducted to identify the susceptibility genes by integrating the summary-level genome-wide association study data of knee OA (KOA) and hip OA (HOA) with the precomputed expression weights from the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (Version 8). The FUSION software was used for both single-tissue and cross-tissue TWAS, which were combined using an aggregate Cauchy association test. The biological function and pathways of the TWAS genes were explored using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) databases, and the human cartilage mRNA expression profiles were utilized to validate the TWAS genes. CGSEA analysis was performed to scan the OA-associated chemicals by integrating the TWAS results with the chemical-related gene sets. RESULTS There were 44 and 93 unique TWAS genes identified in 7 and 11 chromosomes for KOA and HOA, respectively, fourteen and four of which showed significantly differential expression in the mRNA profiles, such as CRHR1, LTBP1, WWP2, LMX1B, and PTHLH. OA-related pathways were found in the KEGG and GO analysis, such as TGF-beta signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, hyaluronan metabolic process, and chondrocyte differentiation. Forty-five OA-associated chemicals were identified, including quercetin, bisphenol A, and cadmium chloride. CONCLUSIONS Several candidate OA-associated genes and chemicals were identified through TWAS and CGSEA analysis, which expanded our understanding of the relationship between genes, chemicals, and their impact on OA.

Comparative pharyngeal cartilage developmental toxicity of bisphenol A, bisphenol S and bisphenol AF to zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae: A combination of morphometry and global transcriptome analyses. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 868:161702.

Abstract
Exposure to BPA is recently shown to affect cartilage development in teleost fishes; whether BPS and BPAF, its two most frequently used phenolic analogues have similar effect, however, remains unclear. Here, we utilize zebrafish (Danio rerio) as an in-vivo larval model for systematic comparison of the pharyngeal arch-derived cartilage developmental toxicity of BPA, BPS and BPAF. Zebrafish are continuously exposed to three bisphenol analogues (3-BPs) at a range of concentrations since the embryonic stage (0.5 hpf), and identified cartilage malformations of the mandibular and hyoid pharyngeal arches at larval stage (120 hpf). BPA and BPAF prolong length and broaden cartilage angles; however, BPS shortens length and narrows the angles of skull cartilages. The results of the comparative transcriptome show that FoxO and MAPK signaling pathways are closely associated with the toxicity of BPA and BPAF, while BPS exposure affects energy metabolism-related pathways. Moreover, exposure to 3-BPs have an impact on the oxidative stress status. Our data collectively indicate that BPS and BPAF may not be safer than BPA regarding the impact on pharyngeal cartilage development in fish model, the mechanisms still need explorations, and that these two analogues should be applied with caution.

A novel gene SpCTP3 from the hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola redistributes cadmium and increases its accumulation in transgenic Populus × canescens.

Abstract
A cadmium (Cd) tolerance protein (SpCTP3) involved in the Sedum plumbizincicola response to Cd stress was identified. However, the mechanism underlying the Cd detoxification and accumulation mediated by SpCTP3 in plants remains unclear. We compared wild-type (WT) and SpCTP3-overexpressing transgenic poplars in terms of Cd accumulation, physiological indices, and the expression profiles of transporter genes following with 100 μmol/L CdCl2. Compared with the WT, significantly more Cd accumulated in the above-ground and below-ground parts of the SpCTP3-overexpressing lines after 100 μmol/L CdCl2 treatment. The Cd flow rate was significantly higher in the transgenic roots than in the WT roots. The overexpression of SpCTP3 resulted in the subcellular redistribution of Cd, with decreased and increased Cd proportions in the cell wall and the soluble fraction, respectively, in the roots and leaves. Additionally, the accumulation of Cd increased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content. The activities of three antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase) increased significantly in response to Cd stress. The observed increase in the titratable acid content in the cytoplasm might lead to the enhanced chelation of Cd. The genes encoding several transporters related to Cd2+ transport and detoxification were expressed at higher levels in the transgenic poplars than in the WT plants. Our results suggest that overexpressing SpCTP3 in transgenic poplar plants promotes Cd accumulation, modulates Cd distribution and ROS homeostasis, and decreases Cd toxicity via organic acids. In conclusion, genetically modifying plants to overexpress SpCTP3 may be a viable strategy for improving the phytoremediation of Cd-polluted soil.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a worldwide public health concern, mainly afflicting older adults. Although the etiology of OA remains unclear, environmental factors are increasingly considered as non-negligible risk factors. This study aims to evaluate the associations of urinary metals with OA risk and the mediated effect of biological aging. METHODS Nine urinary metal concentrations were detected among 12,584 U.S. adults based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), including barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), cesium (Cs), molybdenum (Mo), lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), thallium (Tl), and uranium (Tu). Multivariable logistic regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression were used to explore the associations of single metal and mixed metals with OA risk, respectively. Furthermore, biological aging was measured from different perspectives, including cell senescence (telomere length) and whole-body aging (phenotypic age and biological age). Mediation analyses were conducted to investigate the mediated effects of aging on the associations of metals with OA risk. RESULTS In the single-exposure model, Cd, Co, and Cs were identified to be positively associated with OA risk, with odds ratios (OR) ranging from 1.48 to 1.64 (all P < 0.05). Mixed-exposure analyses showed consistent associations (OR 1.23, 95%CI 1.10 to 1.37) and highlighted that Cd, Co, and Cs were responsible for the outcomes. Additionally, Cd, Co, Cs, Pb, and Tl were positively associated with biological aging markers, while all biological aging markers had significant associations with OA risk. Further mediation analyses showed that the associations of single metal (mainly Cd and Cs) and mixed metals with OA risk parallelly mediated by the above biological aging markers, with the proportion of mediation ranging from 16.89 to 69.39% (all P < 0.05). Moreover, such associations were also serially mediated through telomere length-biological age path and telomere length-phenotypic age path (the proportion of mediation: 4.17-11.67%), indicating that metals accelerated cell senescence to lead to whole-body aging and finally aggravated OA progress. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggested that exposure to metals increased OA risk, which was possibly and partly mediated by biological aging.

Abstract
Tobacco use has a negative impact on health due to its relationship with the development of high-mortality diseases, such as pulmonary cancer. However, the effect of cadmium (Cd), present in tobacco smoke, on the development of joint diseases has been scarcely studied. The objective of this review is to discuss the evidence regarding the mechanisms by which Cd exposure, through tobacco smoke, may lead to the development of osteoarthritis (OA), osteoporosis (OP), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There's evidence suggesting a string association between moderate to severe OA development and tobacco use, and that a higher blood concentration of Cd can trigger oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation, favoring cartilage loss. At the bone level, the Cd that is inhaled through tobacco smoke affects bone mineral density, resulting in OP mediated by a decrease in the antioxidant enzymes, which favors the bone resorption process. In RA, tobacco use promotes the citrullination process through Cd exposure and increases OS and inflammation. Understanding how tobacco use can increase the damage at the articular level mediated by a toxic metal, i.e., Cd, is important. Finally, we propose prevention, control, and treatment strategies for frequently disabling diseases, such as OA, OP, and RA to reduce its prevalence in the population.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative disease characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, subchondral sclerosis and osteophyte formation. It has a multifactorial etiology with potential contributions from heredity, endocrine function, abnormal mechanical load and nutrition. Of particular considerations are trace element status. Several trace elements, such as boron and magnesium are essential for normal development of the bone and joint in human. While cadmium correlates with the severity of OA. The present review focuses on the roles of trace elements (boron, cadmium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, selenium, zinc) in OA and explores the mechanisms by which they act.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of proteins that are expressed by cells in reply to stressors. The changes in concentration of HSPs could be utilized as a bio-indicator of oxidative stress caused by heavy metal. Exposure to the different heavy metals may induce or reduce the expression of different HSPs. The exposure to cadmium ion (Cd2+) could increase HSP70 and HSP27 over 2- to 10-fold or even more. The in vitro and in vivo models indicate that the HSP70 family is more sensitive to Cd intoxication than other HSPs. The analyses of other HSPs along with HSP70, especially HSP27, could also be useful to obtain more accurate results. In this regard, this review focuses on examining the literature to bold the futuristic uses of HSPs as bio-indicators in the initial assessment of Cd exposure risks in defined environments.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental contaminant that causes severe bone metabolism disease, such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and osteomalacia. The present review aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms of Cd-induced bone injury starting from bone cell function and teeth development. Cd inhibits the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into osteoblasts, and directly causes BMSC apoptosis. In the case of osteoporosis, Cd mainly affects the activation of osteoclasts and promotes bone resorption. Cd-induces osteoblast injury and oxidative stress, which causes DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and endoplasmic reticulum stress, resulting in apoptosis. In addition, the development of osteoarthritis (OA) might be related to Cd-induced chondrocyte damage. The high expression of metallothionein (MT) might reduce Cd toxicity toward osteocytes. The toxicity of Cd toward teeth mainly focuses on enamel development and dental caries. Understanding the effect of Cd on bone cell function and teeth development could contribute to revealing the mechanisms of Cd-induced bone damage. This review explores Cd-induced bone disease from cellular and molecular levels, and provides new directions for removing this heavy metal from the environment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), formerly understood to be a result of passive wear, is now known to be associated with chronic inflammation. Cigarette smoking promotes systemic inflammation and has been implicated in increased joint OA incidence in some studies, though the recent observational data on the association are contradictory. We hypothesize that second-hand smoke (SHS) treatment will increase the incidence of OA in a mouse model that has been subjected to a surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM). To test this hypothesis, we applied either SHS treatment or room air (RA) to mice for 28 days post-DMM surgery. Histopathology findings indicated that the knees of SHS mice exhibited more severe OA than their control counterparts. Increased expression of matrix metalloprotease-13 (MMP-13), an important extracellular protease known to degrade articular cartilage, and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), an intracellular effector of inflammatory pathways, were observed in the SHS group. These findings provide greater understanding and evidence for a detrimental role of cigarette smoke on OA progression and systemic inflammation.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) can causes osteoporosis and joint swelling. However, the mechanism of Cd toxicity in chondrocytes and how to alleviate Cd poisoning to chondrocytes are still unclear. Herein, we evaluated the toxicity of Cd to chicken chondrocytes, and whether vitamin D can relieve the toxicity of Cd to chondrocytes. Primary chondrocytes were collected from knee-joint cartilage of 15-day-old chicken embryos. They were treated with (0, 1, 2, and 4) μM Cd alone, 10-8 M 1α,25-(OH)2D3 alone, or 2 μM Cd combined with 10-8 M 1α,25-(OH)2D3. We found that Cd significantly inhibited Sox9 and ACAN mRNA expression, which are markers for chondrocyte differentiation, downregulated the mitochondrial membrane potential, upregulated the Bax/B-cell lymphoma 2 ratio. Furthermore, Cd significantly promoted matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 expression, thus accelerating the degradation of extracellular matrix. And Cd also inhibited the expression of main macromolecular protein of extracellular matrix, Collagen type IIα1 (COL2A1) and acid mucopolysaccharide. However, 1α,25-(OH)2D3 pretreatment significantly alleviated the toxicity effects of Cd on the differentiation, apoptosis and extracellular matrix gene expression in primary chondrocytes. Conclusively, Cd exposure could inhibited chicken embryo chondrocytes differentiation, extracellular matrix gene expression, and induced chondrocyte apoptosis. However, these toxic effects of Cd are alleviated by the pretreatment of chondrocytes with 1α,25-(OH)2D3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An essential element imbalance in the joint might favor gradual degeneration of the articular cartilage. It has been reported that cadmium (Cd) plays an antagonistic role with regards to the presence of essential elements, such as zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn), which may favor the development of disabling diseases, like osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis. METHODS 3D cultures of human chondrocytes were phenotyped with the Western blot technique and structurally evaluated with histological staining. The samples were exposed to 1, 5, and 10 μM of CdCl2 for 12 h, with a non-exposed culture as control. The concentration of Cd, Fe, Mn, Zn, chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni) was quantified through plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The data were analyzed with a Kruskal Wallis test, a Kendall's Tau test and Spearman's correlation coefficient with the Stata program, version 14. RESULTS Our results suggest that Cd exposure affects the structure of micromass cultures and plays an antagonistic role on the concentration of essential metals, such as Zn, Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cr. CONCLUSION Cd exposure may be a risk factor for developing joint diseases like OA, as it can interfere with cartilage absorption of other essential elements that maintain cartilage homeostasis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the gradual loss of articular cartilage and involves several tissues, such as the synovial membrane, meniscus, ligaments, and adipose tissue known as Hoffa fat pad. There are largely unexplored factors that lead to OA development, such as the impact of exposure to heavy metals like cadmium (Cd) on the viability of cells in the knee joint tissue. The objective of this report was to identify the cell type with the highest susceptibility to Cd toxicity with respect to cell viability and death. Our findings showed that a concentration as low as 3 μM cadmium chloride for 12 h affects the viability of synovial cells, and a concentration of 10 μM affects Hoffa cells. Our results suggest that Cd can affect the viability of synovial and chondral cells primarily. In contrast, Hoffa cells were less susceptible, likely because Cd favors the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines before triggering their death as part of its damage mechanism at the articular level.

Genet Test Mol Biomarkers 2020; 24:467-477. [PMID: 32700984 DOI: 10.1089/gtmb.2020.0067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the 3' untranslated region of the microRNA (miRNA)-binding site of the ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 5 (ADAMTS5) gene and the risk of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and its mechanism. Materials and Methods: Sanger sequencing was used to determine the genotypes of three ADAMTS5 gene SNPs (rs3171407, rs229071, and rs229077) from 310 patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee joint (KOA) and 310 healthy controls. The levels of the miRNAs, thsa-miR-103b, hsa-miR-144-3p, and hsa-miR-105-5p in plasma, and the level of ADAMTS5 mRNA in the articular cartilage of 132 patients with KOA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results: The G allele at the rs3171407 locus of the ADAMTS5 gene was demonstrated to be a protective genetic factor for KOA. In addition, the risk of developing KOA was significantly increased in subjects carrying the C allele at the rs229071 locus. The risk of developing KOA in carriers of the G allele at locus rs229077 was 1.49 times greater than those with the A allele. The level of the hsa-miR-144-3p was increased, and the expression level of the ADAMTS5 protein was decreased in carriers of the T allele at the rs229071 locus. In carriers of rs229077 locus A allele the hsa-miR-105-5p level was increased and the expression level of ADAMTS5 protein was decreased. Conclusion: SNPs at the rs3171407, rs229071, and rs229077 loci of the ADAMTS5 gene are related to the risk of OA. The likely mechanism underlying these observations is that these SNPs affect the regulation of ADAMTS5 protein expression through miRNAs; however, this needs to be verified using in vivo models.
