ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 101:106697. [PMID: 37984208 PMCID: PMC10696096 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the effects of ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis on the extraction of anti-inflammatory peptides from porcine bone collagen were investigated. The results showed that ultrasound treatment increased the content of α-helix while decreased β-chain and random coil, promoted generation of small molecular peptides. Ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis improved the peptide content, enhanced ABTS+ radical scavenging and ferrous ion chelating ability than non-ultrasound group. At the ultrasonic power of 450 W (20 min), peptides possessed significant anti-inflammatory activity, where the releasing of interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was all suppressed in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced RAW264.7 cells. After the analysis with LC-MS/MS, eight peptides with potential anti-inflammatory activities were selected by the PeptideRanker and molecular docking. In general, the ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis was an effective strategy to extract the bioactive peptides from porcine bone, and the inflammatory regulation capacity of bone collagen sourced peptides was firstly demonstrated.

Abstract
The burden of osteoarthritis (OA), one of the major causes of functional disabilities in humans and animals, continues to increase worldwide while no disease-modifying OA drugs (DMOADs) that either slow down or reverse disease progression have been made available. Here, we provide a brief overview of recent advances in: designing new OA drug delivery approaches, focusing on lubrication-based biomaterials and drug delivery systems, such as hydrogels, liposomes, dendrimers, micro- and nanoparticles; using either large (horse) or small (zebrafish) relevant animal models to evaluate new therapeutic strategies; and OA in vitro modeling, focusing on 3D (organoid) models of cartilage regarding the Replace, Reduce and Refine (3R) principle of animal experimentation.

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β inhibits BMSCs Chondrogenesis in Inflammation via the Cross-Reaction between NF-κB and β-Catenin in the Nucleus. Stem Cells Int 2022; 2022:5670403.

Abstract
Inflammation can influence the pluripotency and self-renewal of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), thereby altering their cartilage regeneration ability. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated and found to be defective in differentiation potential in the interleukin-1β- (IL-1β-) induced inflammatory microenvironment. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase that plays a role in numerous cellular processes. The role of GSK-3β in inflammation may be related to the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, whose mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we found that GSK-3β can inhibit chondrogenesis of IL-1β-impaired BMSCs by disrupting metabolic balance and promoting cell apoptosis. By using the inhibitors LiCl and SN50, we demonstrated that GSK-3β regulates the chondrogenesis via the NF-κB and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways and possibly mediates the cross-reaction between NF-κB and β-catenin in the nucleus. Given the molecular mechanisms of GSK-3β in chondrogenic differentiation in inflammation, GSK-3β is a crucial target for the treatment of inflammation-induced cartilage disease.

Reversible changes in the 3D collagen fibril architecture during cyclic loading of healthy and degraded cartilage. Acta Biomater 2021; 136:314-326. [PMID: 34563724 PMCID: PMC8631461 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.09.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Biomechanical changes to the collagen fibrillar architecture in articular cartilage are believed to play a crucial role in enabling normal joint function. However, experimentally there is little quantitative knowledge about the structural response of the Type II collagen fibrils in cartilage to cyclic loading in situ, and the mechanisms that drive the ability of cartilage to withstand long-term repetitive loading. Here we utilize synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) combined with in-situ cyclic loading of bovine articular cartilage explants to measure the fibrillar response in deep zone articular cartilage, in terms of orientation, fibrillar strain and inter-fibrillar variability in healthy cartilage and cartilage degraded by exposure to the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. We demonstrate that under repeated cyclic loading the fibrils reversibly change the width of the fibrillar orientation distribution whilst maintaining a largely consistent average direction of orientation. Specifically, the effect on the fibrillar network is a 3-dimensional conical orientation broadening around the normal to the joint surface, inferred by 3D reconstruction of X-ray scattering peak intensity distributions from the 2D pattern. Further, at the intrafibrillar level, this effect is coupled with reversible reduction in fibrillar pre-strain under compression, alongside increase in the variability of fibrillar pre-strain. In IL-1β degraded cartilage, the collagen rearrangement under cyclic loading is disrupted and associated with reduced tissue stiffness. These finding have implications as to how changes in local collagen nanomechanics might drive disease progression or vice versa in conditions such as osteoarthritis and provides a pathway to a mechanistic understanding of such diseases. Statement of significance Structural deterioration in biomechanically loaded musculoskeletal organs, e.g., joint osteoarthritis and back pain, are linked to breakdown and changes in their collagen-rich cartilaginous tissue matrix. A critical component enabling cartilage biomechanics is the ultrastructural collagen fibrillar network in cartilage. However, experimental probes of the dynamic structural response of cartilage collagen to biomechanical loads are limited. Here, we use X-ray scattering during cyclic loading (as during walking) on joint tissue to show that cartilage fibrils resist loading by a reversible, three-dimensional orientation broadening and disordering mechanism at the molecular level, and that inflammation reduces this functionality. Our results will help understand how changes to small-scale tissue mechanisms are linked to ageing and osteoarthritic progression, and development of biomaterials for joint replacements.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2021; 57:medicina57090869. [PMID: 34577792 PMCID: PMC8472387 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57090869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the change of bone height following treatment of human intrabony defects with guided tissue regeneration (GTR) with bone grafting or access flap alone by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. Materials and methods: This study was conducted as a retrospective longitudinal study. In this study, a total of 2281 teeth sites were included: the GTR group had 1210 sites, and the Flap group had 1071 sites. In the GTR group, demineralized freeze-dried bone (DFDBA) particles in combination with resorbable collagen membrane were used. No regenerative material was applied to the Flap group. CBCT images were taken twice at baseline and at least 2.5 months postoperatively. Bone heights were measured using software on CBCT images. Results: The bony change between the GTR and Flap groups was significantly different (p = 0.00001). Both males and females in the GTR group had smaller bone loss than in the Flap group. In age groups, significant differences of bony height between the GTR and Flap groups were observed in the subgroups consisting of those 29–45 and 46–53 years old. The non-smoking subjects in the GTR group had higher bone heights than those in the Flap group. In the absence of systemic disease and medicine, bone formation was higher in the GTR group than in the Flap group. In terms of oral position, the #14–17, #34–37, and #44–47 subgroups of the GTR group showed higher levels of bone heights than those of the Flap group. Conclusions. The results of this study indicated that the GTR procedure offers the additional benefit of higher bone heights than the Flap procedure does.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by irreversible cartilage damage, inflammation and altered chondrocyte phenotype. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling via SMAD2/3 is crucial for blocking hypertrophy. The post-translational modifications of these SMAD proteins in the linker domain regulate their function and these can be triggered by inflammation through the activation of kinases or phosphatases. Therefore, we investigated if OA-related inflammation affects TGF-β signaling via SMAD2/3 linker-modifications in chondrocytes. We found that both Interleukin (IL)-1β and OA-synovium conditioned medium negated SMAD2/3 transcriptional activity in chondrocytes. This inhibition of TGF-β signaling was enhanced if SMAD3 could not be phosphorylated on Ser213 in the linker region and the inhibition by IL-1β was less if the SMAD3 linker could not be phosphorylated at Ser204. Our study shows evidence that inflammation inhibits SMAD2/3 signaling in chondrocytes via SMAD linker (de)-phosphorylation. The involvement of linker region modifications may represent a new therapeutic target for OA.

Abstract
Seomae mugwort, a Korean native variety of Artemisia argyi, exhibits physiological effects against various diseases. However, its effects on osteoarthritis (OA) are unclear. In this study, a Seomae mugwort extract prevented cartilage destruction in an OA mouse model. In vitro and ex vivo analyses revealed that the extract suppressed MMP3, MMP13, ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5 expression induced by IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α and inhibited the loss of extracellular sulphated proteoglycans. In vivo analysis revealed that oral administration of the extract suppressed DMM-induced cartilage destruction. We identified jaceosidin in Seomae mugwort and showed that this compound decreased MMP3, MMP13, ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5 expression levels, similar to the action of the Seomae mugwort extract in cultured chondrocytes. Interestingly, jaceosidin and eupatilin combined had similar effects to Seomae mugwort in the DMM-induced OA model. Induction of IκB degradation by IL-1β was blocked by the extract and jaceosidin, whereas JNK phosphorylation was only suppressed by the extract. These results suggest that the Seomae mugwort extract and jaceosidin can attenuate cartilage destruction by suppressing MMPs, ADAMTS4/5 and the nuclear factor-κB signalling pathway by blocking IκB degradation. Thus, the findings support the potential application of Seomae mugwort, and particularly jaceosidin, as natural therapeutics for OA.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritic disease, results from destruction of joint cartilage and underlying bone. It affects animals, including Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in captivity, leading to joint pain and lameness. However, publications regarding OA pathogenesis in this animal are still limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), IL-17A, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and oncostatin M (OSM), known mediators of OA pathogenesis, and lipopolysaccharides on the expression of cartilaginous degrading enzymes, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-13, in elephant articular chondrocytes (ELACs) cultures. Anti-arthritic drugs and the active compounds of herbal plants were tested for their potential attenuation against overproduction of these enzymes. Results Among the used cytokines, OSM showed the highest activation of MMP3 and MMP13 expression, especially when combined with IL-1β. The combination of IL-1β and OSM was found to activate phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in ELACs. Lipopolysaccharides or cytokine-induced expressions were suppressed by pharmacologic agents used to treat OA, including dexamethasone, indomethacin, etoricoxib, and diacerein, and by three natural compounds, sesamin, andrographolide, and vanillylacetone. Conclusions Our results revealed the cellular mechanisms underlying OA in elephant chondrocytes, which is triggered by proinflammatory cytokines or lipopolysaccharides and suppressed by common pharmacological or natural medications used to treat human OA. These results provide a more basic understanding of the pathogenesis of elephant OA, which could be useful for adequate medical treatment of OA in this animal.

Abstract
Cartilage homeostasis is governed by articular chondrocytes via their ability to modulate extracellular matrix production and degradation. In turn, chondrocyte activity is regulated by growth factors such as those of the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family. Members of this family include the TGFβs, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), and growth and differentiation factors (GDFs). Signaling by this protein family uniquely activates SMAD-dependent signaling and transcription but also activates SMAD-independent signaling via MAPKs such as ERK and TAK1. This review will address the pivotal role of the TGFβ family in cartilage biology by listing several TGFβ family members and describing their signaling and importance for cartilage maintenance. In addition, it is discussed how (pathological) processes such as aging, mechanical stress, and inflammation contribute to altered TGFβ family signaling, leading to disturbed cartilage metabolism and disease.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines: The link between obesity and osteoarthritis. Cytokine Growth Factor Rev 2018; 44:38-50.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by joint malfunction and chronic disability, is the most common form of arthritis. Clinical and animal experiments reveal that age-related OA is associated with many factors such as age, sex, trauma, and obesity. One of the most influential and modifiable risk factors is obesity. Obesity not only increases mechanical stress on the tibiofemoral cartilage, but also leads to a higher prevalence of OA in non-weight-bearing areas. There is a link between obesity and inflammation. Adipose tissues play a crucial role in this context because they are the major source of cytokines, chemokines, and metabolically-active mediators named adipokines. The adipokines, including adiponectin and leptin, have been demonstrated to regulate inflammatory immune responses in cartilage. Obese people and animals show a higher level of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL)-1β and IL-6, all of which are produced by macrophages derived from adipose tissue. These pro-inflammatory cytokines regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of adipocytes, promote lipolysis, inhibit lipid synthesis and decrease blood lipids through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. Elevated levels of TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 have been found in the synovial fluid, synovial membrane, subchondral bone and cartilage of OA patients, confirming their important roles in OA pathogenesis. TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 are the factors released by fat to negatively regulate cartilage directly. Moreover, TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 can induce the production of other cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and prostaglandins and inhibit the synthesis of proteoglycans and type II collagen; thus, they play a pivotal role in cartilage matrix degradation and bone resorption in OA. Activated chondrocytes also produce MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, and aggrecanase 1 and 2 (ADAMTS-4, ADAMTS-5). In addition, IL-1, TNF-α and IL-6 may cause OA indirectly by regulating release of adiponectin and leptin from adipocytes. In this review, we first summarize the relationship between obesity and inflammation. Then we summarize the roles of IL-1, TNF-α and IL-6 in OA. We further discuss how IL-1, TNF-α and IL-6 regulate the communication between fat and OA, and their pathological roles in obesity-related OA. Lastly, we discuss the possibility of using the pro-inflammatory signaling pathway as a therapeutic target to develop drugs for obesity-related OA.

Abstract
Appropriate embryonic and fetal development significantly impact pregnancy success and, therefore, the efficiency of swine production. The pre-implantation period of porcine pregnancy is characterized by several developmental hallmarks, which are initiated by the dramatic morphological change that occurs as pig blastocysts elongate from spherical to filamentous blastocysts. Deficiencies in blastocyst elongation contribute to approximately 20% of embryonic loss, and have a direct influence on within-litter birth weight variation. Although factors identified within the uterine environment may play a role in blastocyst elongation, little is known about the exact mechanisms by which porcine (or other species') blastocysts initiate and progress through the elongation process. This is partly due to the difficulty of replicating elongation in vitro, which would allow for its study in a controlled environment and in real-time. We developed a three dimensional (3-D) culture system using alginate hydrogel matrices that can encapsulate pig blastocysts, maintain viability and blastocyst architecture, and facilitate reproducible morphological changes with corresponding expression of steroidogenic enzyme transcripts and estrogen production, consistent with the initiation of elongation in vivo. This review highlights key aspects of the pre-implantation period of porcine pregnancy and the difficulty of studying blastocyst elongation in vivo or by using in vitro systems. This review also provides insights on the utility of 3-D hydrogels to study blastocyst elongation continuously and in real-time as a complementary and confirmatory approach to in vivo analysis.

Abstract
Articular cartilage repair is a challenge due to its limited self-repair capacity. Cartilage tissue engineering supports to overcome following injuries or degenerative diseases. Herein, we fabricated the scaffold composed of curcumin and silk fibroin as an appropriate clinical replacement for defected cartilage. The scaffolds were designed to have adequate pore size and mechanical strength for cartilage repair. Cell proliferation, sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) content and mRNA expression analysis indicated that chondrocytes remained viable and showed its growth ability in the curcumin/silk scaffolds. Especially, in 1mg/ml curcumin/silk scaffold showed higher cell viability rate and extracellular matrix formation than other experimental groups. Furthermore, curcumin/silk scaffold showed its biocompatibility and favorable environment for cartilage repair after transplantation in vivo, as indicated in histological examination results. Overall, the functional composite curcumin/silk scaffold can be applied in cartilage tissue engineering and promising substrate for cartilage repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inflammation is a major player in the joint destruction process. Macrolide antibiotics have recently been found to have a novel anti-inflammatory function, but their effects on the joint are unknown. Our objective was to investigate the effect of macrolide antibiotic erythromycin on cartilage gene expression under inflammatory conditions as well as on joint pathology in an in vivo inflammatory joint destruction model. DESIGN In our in vivo studies, mouse knee joints were injected with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA), a chemical that inhibits glycolysis and causes joint inflammation and matrix loss. Erythromycin was administered by daily intraperitoneal injection. Changes in joint cartilage and synovium were evaluated by histological analysis. In our in vitro studies, primary bovine articular chondrocytes were treated with erythromycin in the presence of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and cartilage gene expression analysis was performed. RESULTS Regional differences in cartilage matrix destruction along the medial-lateral axis were observed in joints of MIA-injected mice. Erythromycin treatment inhibited cartilage matrix loss and synovitis in these joints. In addition, erythromycin inhibited IL-1β and LPS-induced expression of MMPs and iNOS, as well as the positive regulatory loop between IL-1β and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in articular chondrocytes. Furthermore, erythromycin prevented LPS-induced NF-κB activation, a key mediator of TLR4-mediated cartilage destruction process. CONCLUSIONS Erythromycin has the ability to inhibit catabolic gene expression mediated by IL-1β and TLR4 in chondrocytes in vitro and maintains cartilage matrix levels in experimental inflammatory joint destruction in vivo, suggesting that it possesses a chondroprotective activity.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of most biomedical research is to gain greater insight into mechanisms of human disease or to develop new and improved therapies or diagnostics. Although great advances have been made in terms of developing disease models in animals, such as transgenic mice, many of these models fail to faithfully recapitulate the human condition. In addition, it is difficult to identify critical cellular and molecular contributors to disease or to vary them independently in whole-animal models. This challenge has attracted the interest of engineers, who have begun to collaborate with biologists to leverage recent advances in tissue engineering and microfabrication to develop novel in vitro models of disease. As these models are synthetic systems, specific molecular factors and individual cell types, including parenchymal cells, vascular cells, and immune cells, can be varied independently while simultaneously measuring system-level responses in real time. In this article, we provide some examples of these efforts, including engineered models of diseases of the heart, lung, intestine, liver, kidney, cartilage, skin and vascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems, as well as models of infectious diseases and cancer. We also describe how engineered in vitro models can be combined with human inducible pluripotent stem cells to enable new insights into a broad variety of disease mechanisms, as well as provide a test bed for screening new therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A major hurdle in osteoarthritis (OA) research is the lack of sensitive detection and monitoring methods. It is hypothesized that proteases, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), are up-regulated in the early stages of OA development. This study was undertaken to investigate if a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe activated by MMPs could visualize in vivo OA progression beginning in the early stages of the disease. METHODS Using an MMP-activatable NIR fluorescent probe (MMPSense 680), we assessed the up-regulation of MMP activity in vitro by incubating human chondrocytes with the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β). MMP activity was then evaluated in vivo serially in a mouse model of chronic, injury-induced OA. To track MMP activity over time, mice were imaged 1-8 weeks after OA-inducing surgery. Imaging results were correlated with histologic findings. RESULTS In vitro studies confirmed that NIR fluorescence imaging identified enhanced MMP activity in IL-1β-treated human chondrocytes. In vivo imaging showed significantly higher fluorescence intensity in OA knees compared to sham-operated (control) knees of the same mice. Additionally, the total emitted fluorescence intensity steadily increased over the entire course of OA progression that was examined. NIR fluorescence imaging results correlated with histologic findings, which showed an increase in articular cartilage structural damage over time. CONCLUSION Imaging of MMP activity in a mouse model of OA provides sensitive and consistent visualization of OA progression, beginning in the early stages of OA. In addition to facilitating the preclinical study of OA modulators, this approach has the potential for future translation to humans.

Abstract
Even though osteoarthritis (OA) is mainly considered as a degradative condition of the articular cartilage, there is increasing body of data demonstrating the involvement of all branches of the immune system. Genetic, metabolic or mechanical factors cause an initial injury to the cartilage resulting in release of several cartilage specific auto-antigens, which trigger the activation of immune response. Immune cells including T cells, B cells and macrophages infiltrate the joint tissues, cytokines and chemokines are released from different kinds of cells present in the joint, complement system is activated, and cartilage degrading factors such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are released, resulting in further damage to the articular cartilage. There is considerable success in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis using anti-cytokine therapies. In OA, however, these therapies did not show much effect, highlighting more complex nature of pathogenesis of OA. This needs the development of more novel approaches to treat OA, which may include therapies that act on multiple targets. Plant natural products have this kind of property and may be considered for future drug development efforts. Here we reviewed the studies implicating different components of the immune system in the pathogenesis of OA.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered constructs designed to treat large cartilage defects or osteoarthritic lesions may be exposed to significant mechanical loading as well as an inflammatory environment upon implantation in an injured or diseased joint. We hypothesized that a three-dimensionally (3D) woven poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffold seeded with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) would provide biomimetic mechanical properties in early stages of in vitro culture as the MSCs assembled a functional, cartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM). We also hypothesized that these properties would be maintained even in the presence of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1), which is found at high levels in injured or diseased joints. MSC-seeded 3D woven scaffolds cultured in chondrogenic conditions synthesized a functional ECM rich in collagen and proteoglycan content, reaching an aggregate modulus of ~0.75 MPa within 14 days of culture. However, the presence of pathophysiologically relevant levels of IL-1 limited matrix accumulation and inhibited any increase in mechanical properties over baseline values. On the other hand, the mechanical properties of constructs cultured in chondrogenic conditions for 4 weeks prior to IL-1 exposure were protected from deleterious effects of the cytokine. These findings demonstrate that IL-1 significantly inhibits the chondrogenic development and maturation of MSC-seeded constructs; however, the overall mechanical functionality of the engineered tissue can be preserved through the use of a 3D woven scaffold designed to recreate the mechanical properties of native articular cartilage.

Abstract
A Disintegrin-like And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin motifs—ADAMTSs—are a multi-domain, secreted, extracellular zinc metalloproteinase family with 19 members in humans. These extracellular metalloproteinases are known to cleave a wide range of substrates in the extracellular matrix. They have been implicated in various physiological processes, such as extracellular matrix turnover, melanoblast development, interdigital web regression, blood coagulation, ovulation, etc. ADAMTSs are also critical in pathological processes such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, cancer, angiogenesis, wound healing, etc. In the past few years, there has been an explosion of reports concerning the role of ADAMTS family members in angiogenesis and cancer. To date, 10 out of the 19 members have been demonstrated to be involved in regulating angiogenesis and/or cancer. The mechanism involved in their regulation of angiogenesis or cancer differs among different members. Both angiogenesis-dependent and -independent regulation of cancer have been reported. This review summarizes our current understanding on the roles of ADAMTS in angiogenesis and cancer and highlights their implications in cancer therapeutic development.

Abstract
Tissue engineers have made great strides toward the creation of living tissue replacements for a wide range of tissue types and applications, with eventual patient implantation as the primary goal. However, an alternate use of tissue-engineered constructs exists: as in vitro preclinical models for purposes such as drug screening and device testing. Tissue-engineered preclinical models have numerous potential advantages over existing models, including cultivation in three-dimensional geometries, decreased cost, increased reproducibility, precise control over cultivation conditions, and the incorporation of human cells. Over the past decade, a number of researchers have developed and used tissue-engineered constructs as preclinical models for testing pharmaceuticals, gene therapies, stents, and other technologies, with examples including blood vessels, skeletal muscle, bone, cartilage, skin, cardiac muscle, liver, cornea, reproductive tissues, adipose, small intestine, neural tissue, and kidney. The focus of this article is to review accomplishments toward the creation and use of tissue-engineered preclinical models of each of these different tissue types.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize and evaluate osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes, in comparison to normal chondrocytes, through a novel 3-dimensional (3-D) culture system, poly(ethylene-glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA). The cytokine interleukin 1β (IL-1β) was also used to simulate an in vitro OA model. METHODS Normal and OA chondrocytes were cultured in monolayer and analyzed for changes in cartilage-specific gene expressions due to passage number. Then, cells were encapsulated in PEGDA to evaluate phenotype and matrix production capabilities through the in vitro culture system. Characterization was conducted with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), biochemical analyses, and histological staining. 3-D encapsulated chondrocytes (human and bovine) were also treated with IL-1β to characterize how the cytokine affects gene transcription and extracellular matrix (ECM) content. RESULTS In 2-dimensional monolayer, anabolic genes were down-regulated significantly in both normal and OA chondrocytes. In 3-D culture, OA chondrocytes demonstrated significantly higher expressions of catabolic genes when compared to normal cells. Differentiation medium resulted in significantly more matrix production than growth medium from OA chondrocytes, indicated through histological staining. In addition, normal chondrocytes responded more significantly to exogenous administration of IL-1β than OA chondrocytes. Temporary initial stimulation of IL-1β to OA chondrocytes resulted in comparable gene expressions to untreated cells after 3 weeks of in vitro culture. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate the use of OA chondrocytes in tissue engineering and their significance for potential future cartilage regeneration research through their matrix production capabilities and the use of a hydrogel culture system.

Abstract
The plasma serine protease activated protein C (APC) is synthesized by human chondrocytes at sites of pathological cartilage fibrillation. APC levels are increased in osteoarthritis (OA) synovial fluid, and in vitro APC has been shown to synergize with interleukin-1beta (IL-1) to promote degradation from ovine cartilage. A model of equine cartilage degradation was established and used to explore corticosteroid activities. Intraarticular corticosteroids are a commonly prescribed treatment for joint disease, however their role in disease modification remains unclear. APC synergized with IL-1 or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), promoting significant collagen degradation from equine cartilage explants within 4 days, but did not augment glycoaminoglycan (GAG) release. APC activated pro-matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 but not pro-MMP-9, as assessed by gelatin zymography. APC did not directly activate pro-MMP-13. Dexamethasone, triamcinolone, and methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) were evaluated at concentrations between 10(- 5)M and 10(-10)M. High concentrations significantly increased GAG release from IL-1+APC-treated explants. With the exception of MPA at 10(-10)M, all concentrations of corticosteroids caused significant decreases in IL-1+APC-driven hydroxyproline loss. Treatment with corticosteroids suppressed expression of MMP-1, -3, and -13 mRNA. The collagenolysis associated with IL-1+APC synergy, and the inhibition of this effect by corticosteroids may involve gelatinase activation and downregulation of MMP expression, respectively.

Abstract
Among the existing repair strategies for cartilage injury, tissue engineering approach using biomaterials and chondrocytes offers hope for treatments. In this context, collagen-based biomaterials are good candidates as scaffolds for chondrocytes in cell transplantation procedures. These scaffolds are provided under different forms (gel or crosslinked sponge) made with either type I collagen or type I or type II atelocollagen molecules. The present study was undertaken to investigate how bovine articular chondrocytes sense and respond to differences in the structure and organization of these collagen scaffolds, over a 12-day culture period. When chondrocytes were seeded in the collagen scaffolds maintained in free-floating conditions, cells contracted gels to 40-60% and sponges to 15% of their original diameter. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that the chondrocyte phenotype, assessed notably by the ratio of COL2A1/COL1A2 mRNA and alpha10/alpha11 integrin subunit mRNA, was comparatively better sustained in type I collagen sponges when seeded at high cell density, also in type I atelocollagen gels. Besides, proteoglycan accumulation in the different scaffolds, as assessed by measuring the sulfated glycosaminoglycan content, was found be highest in type I collagen sponges seeded at high cell density. In addition, gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13 increased dramatically (up to 90-fold) in chondrocytes cultured in the different gels, whereas it remained stable in the sponges. Our data taken together reveal that type I collagen sponges seeded at high cell density represent a suitable material for tissue engineering of cartilage.

Abstract
To elucidate the characterizations of chondrocytes originating from auricular cartilage (donors: 10-15 years) and nasoseptal one (20-23 years), we evaluated proliferation or matrix synthesis of both cells cultured under monolayer and collagen type I (COL1) three-dimensional (3D) conditions. Three passages were needed until cell numbers of auricular chondrocytes in the 3D culture increased 1000-fold, although those in monolayer culture or nasoseptal monolayer and 3D cells reached a 1000-fold increase at four passages. When we cultured the tissue-engineered cartilage pellets made of the chondrocytes proliferated at 1000-fold increase, the pellets of monolayer cells maintained their sizes during the culture period. However, those of nasoseptal 3D cells began to shrink at day 1 and became approximately one-tenth in size at day 21. The downsizing of pellets may result from the upregulation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha or the related proteinases, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-1, -2, and -3, and cathepsin B, suggesting that the nasoseptal chondrocytes, which are physiologically separated from COL1, may be hardly adapted for the COL1 3D proliferation condition. Ideally, these characteristics would have been compared between the chondrocytes from donors that are completely matched in ages. However, according to our data using closely matched ones, the auricular chondrocytes seemed to more rapidly proliferate and produce less proteinases during this 3D culture than the nasoseptal ones.

Abstract
Damage or loss of the meniscus is associated with progressive osteoarthritic degeneration of the knee joint. Injured and degenerative joints are characterized by elevated levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1), which with prolonged exposure can induce catabolic and anti-anabolic activities that inhibit tissue repair. We used an in vitro model system to examine the hypotheses that acute exposure to IL-1 inhibits meniscal repair, and that an IL-1-mediated increase in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity is associated with the inhibition of repair. Integrative tissue repair was studied between concentric explants of porcine medial menisci that were treated with IL-1alpha acutely (100 pg/mL for 1 or 3 days) or chronically (100 pg/mL for entire culture duration). After 14 and 28 days in culture, biomechanical testing, cell viability, and histology were performed to assess meniscal repair. Total specific MMP activity in the culture media was measured using a quenched fluorescent substrate. As little as 1 day of IL-1 exposure significantly reduced shear strength, cell accumulation, and tissue repair compared to controls. IL-1 exposure for 1 or 3 days significantly increased MMP activity that subsided by day 9. With chronic IL-1 exposure, MMP activity remained elevated for the duration of culture and was negatively correlated with repair strength. Our study shows that short-term exposure to physiologically relevant concentrations of IL-1 significantly reduces meniscal repair in vitro, and thus may potentially inhibit the intrinsic repair response in vivo. The suppression of IL-1 or MMP expression and/or activity warrant investigation as potential strategies for promoting meniscal repair.
