Bioactive components and potential mechanisms of Biqi Capsule in the treatment of osteoarthritis: based on chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory activity. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1347970. [PMID: 38694911 PMCID: PMC11061359 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1347970] [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: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Cartilage damage and synovial inflammation are vital pathological changes in osteoarthritis (OA). Biqi Capsule, a traditional Chinese medicine formula used for the clinical treatment of arthritis in China, yields advantages in attenuating OA progression. The drawback here is that the bioactive components and pharmacological mechanisms by which Biqi Capsule exerts its anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects have yet to be fully clarified. For in vivo studies, a papain-induced OA rat model was established to explore the pharmacological effects and potential mechanisms of Biqi Capsule against OA. Biqi Capsule alleviated articular cartilage degeneration and chondrocyte damage in OA rats and inhibited the phosphorylation of NF-κB and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in synovial tissue. Network pharmacology analysis suggested that the primary biological processes regulated by Biqi Capsule are inflammation and oxidative stress, and the critical pathway regulated is the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The result of this analysis was later verified on SW1353 cells. The in vitro studies demonstrated that Glycyrrhizic Acid and Liquiritin in Biqi Capsule attenuated H2O2-stimulated SW1353 chondrocyte damage via activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Moreover, Biqi Capsule alleviated inflammatory responses in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages via the NF-κB/IL-6 pathway. These observations were suggested to have been facilitated by Brucine, Liquiritin, Salvianolic Acid B, Glycyrrhizic Acid, Cryptotanshinone, and Tanshinone ⅡA. Put together, this study partially clarifies the pharmacological mechanisms and the bioactive components of Biqi capsules against OA and suggests that it is a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of OA. Chemical compounds studied in this article. Strychnine (Pubchem CID:441071); Brucine (Pubchem CID:442021); Liquiritin (Pubchem CID:503737); Salvianolic Acid B (Pubchem CID:6451084); Glycyrrhizic Acid (Pubchem CID:14982); Cryptotanshinone (Pubchem CID:160254); Tanshinone ⅡA (Pubchem CID:164676).

BMC Public Health 2024; 24:758. [PMID: 38468219 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-024-18272-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and osteoarthritis (OA) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to examine potential associations between an elevated TyG index and an increased risk of OA prevalence. METHODS 3,921 participants with OA from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2015-2020) were included in this study. Participants were categorized into quartiles based on TyG index, which was determined using the formula: Ln [triglyceride (mg/dL) fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Weighted multivariable regression, subgroup analyses, and threshold effect analyses were performed to calculate the independent association between TyG index and OA. RESULTS A total of 25,514 people were enrolled, with a mean TyG index of 8.48 ± 0.65. The results of multivariable logistic regression analysis after full adjustment showed a significant association between higher TyG index values and an increased risk of OA. Specifically, each incremental unit increase in the TyG index was associated with a 634% higher risk of OA [OR = 7.34; 95% CI: 2.25, 23.93; p = 0.0010]. Based on interaction tests, age, gender, BMI, and smoking status did not significantly affect the relationship between the TyG index and OA, while diabetes showed a stronger positive correlation between the TyG index and OA. CONCLUSION An increased risk of OA was associated with a higher TyG index. TyG could be a valuable predictor of OA and offer novel perspectives on the assessment and treatment of OA.

Abstract
The biological mechanism of action of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis remains unclear. This study explored the mechanisms underlying interleukin (IL)-1β-induced inflammation and investigated the effect of PRP on TMJ condylar chondrocytes. Primary chondrocytes were isolated from the TMJ condyle of 4-week-old rats, and differentially expressed genes among three treatment groups (phosphate-buffered saline [control], IL-1β, and IL-1β + PRP) were identified using RNA-seq and characterized using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes path-enrichment analyses. IL-1β caused inflammatory injury to chondrocytes by upregulating the TNF, NF-κB, and IL-17 signaling pathways and downregulating the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. PRP activated the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, exerting a protective effect on IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. PRP also activated the TNF and IL-17 signaling pathways, producing an inflammatory effect. Additionally, PRP increased the mRNA expression of the matrix catabolism-related genes Mmp3, Mmp9, and Mmp13; the proliferative markers Mki67 and PCNA; and the anti-apoptotic genes of the Bcl-2 family (Bcl2a1 and Bok), while reducing the expression of the pro-apoptotic genes Casp4 and Casp12. The findings suggest that the protective effect of PRP on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte injury is mainly achieved via MAPK-PI3K/Akt signaling, increasing cell proliferation and inhibiting cell apoptosis.

Lei's formula attenuates osteoarthritis mediated by suppression of chondrocyte senescence via the mTOR axis: in vitro and in vivo experiments. Aging (Albany NY) 2024; 16:4250-4269. [PMID: 38407978 DOI: 10.18632/aging.205582] [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: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
Lei's formula (LSF), a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, is recognized for its remarkable clinical effectiveness in treating osteoarthritis (OA). Despite its therapeutic potential, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying LSF's action in OA have remained enigmatic. Existing research has shed light on the role of the mTOR signaling pathway in promoting chondrocyte senescence, a central factor in OA-related cartilage degeneration. Consequently, targeting mTOR to mitigate chondrocyte senescence presents a promising avenue for OA treatment. The primary objective of this study is to establish LSF's chondroprotective potential and confirm its anti-osteoarthritic efficacy through mTOR inhibition. In vivo assessments using an OA mouse model reveal substantial articular cartilage degeneration. However, LSF serves as an effective guardian of articular cartilage, evidenced by reduced subchondral osteosclerosis, increased cartilage thickness, improved surface smoothness, decreased OARSI scores, elevated expression of cartilage anabolic markers (Col2 and Aggrecan), reduced expression of catabolic markers (Adamts5 and MMP13), increased expression of the chondrocyte hypertrophy marker (Col10), and decreased expression of chondrocyte senescence markers (P16 and P21). In vitro findings demonstrate that LSF shields chondrocytes from H2O2-induced apoptosis, inhibits senescence, enhances chondrocyte differentiation, promotes the synthesis of type II collagen and proteoglycans, and reduces cartilage degradation. Mechanistically, LSF suppresses chondrocyte senescence through the mTOR axis, orchestrating the equilibrium between chondrocyte anabolism and catabolism, ultimately leading to reduced apoptosis and decelerated OA cartilage degradation. LSF holds significant promise as a therapeutic approach for OA treatment, offering new insights into potential treatments for this prevalent age-related condition.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease with systemic implications that go beyond joint problems. Its pathogenic mechanisms involve a variety of systemic conditions that contribute to joint damage. These include metabolic dysfunction, chronic low-grade inflammation, neuroplastic pain, and the influence of the central nervous system in the development of neuropathic pain. Besides, OA can negatively affect other aspects of health, such as quality of life, reduced physical activity, social isolation, depression, and anxiety. OA can be considered a complex system in which pathological interactions involve not only obesity and metabolic dysfunction, but also fragility syndrome, sarcopenia, neurological complications, and systemic energy redistribution. Complex systems are composed of multiple interacting and dynamic parts and exhibit emergent properties that cannot be fully explained by examining their individual components. Chronic low-grade inflammation is characteristic of OA, occurring both in the affected joint, and systemically, mainly due to adipose tissue inflammation in obese patients. Obesity is a key factor in the progression of OA, so primary treatment should focus on its control, while maintaining muscle health. The chronic inflammation could lead to changes in energy distribution among the affected joint tissues. Therefore, OA should be approached as a systemic disease, considering individual patient factors, such as genetics, inflammatory response, and lifestyle. Medical care should be more holistic and personalized. Consideration of a name change, such as "systemic OA", could help to move away from the perception of a disease focused only on the joints.

Cartilage-specific Sirt6 deficiency represses IGF-1 and enhances osteoarthritis severity in mice. Ann Rheum Dis 2023; 82:1464-1473.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Prior studies noted that chondrocyte SIRT6 activity is repressed in older chondrocytes rendering cells susceptible to catabolic signalling events implicated in osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to define the effect of Sirt6 deficiency on the development of post-traumatic and age-associated OA in mice. METHODS Male cartilage-specific Sirt6-deficient mice and Sirt6 intact controls underwent destabilisation of the medial meniscus (DMM) or sham surgery at 16 weeks of age and OA severity was analysed at 6 and 10 weeks postsurgery. Age-associated OA was assessed in mice aged 12 and 18 months of age. OA severity was analysed by micro-CT, histomorphometry and scoring of articular cartilage structure, toluidine blue staining and osteophyte formation. SIRT6-regulated pathways were analysed in human chondrocytes by RNA-sequencing, qRT-PCR and immunoblotting. RESULTS Sirt6-deficient mice displayed enhanced DMM-induced OA severity and accelerated age-associated OA when compared with controls, characterised by increased cartilage damage, osteophyte formation and subchondral bone sclerosis. In chondrocytes, RNA-sequencing revealed that SIRT6 depletion significantly repressed cartilage extracellular matrix (eg, COL2A1) and anabolic growth factor (eg, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)) gene expression. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies in chondrocytes demonstrated that SIRT6 depletion attenuated, whereas adenoviral overexpression or MDL-800-induced SIRT6 activation promoted IGF-1 signalling by increasing Aktser473 phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS SIRT6 deficiency increases post-traumatic and age-associated OA severity in vivo. SIRT6 profoundly regulated the pro-anabolic and pro-survival IGF-1/Akt signalling pathway and suggests that preserving the SIRT6/IGF-1/Akt axis may be necessary to protect cartilage from injury-associated or age-associated OA. Targeted therapies aimed at increasing SIRT6 function could represent a novel strategy to slow or stop OA.

Abstract
Chondrogenesis is strictly regulated by several factors, including cytokines, hormones, and extracellular matrix proteins. Mouse teratocarcinoma-derived lineage cells, differentiate into chondrocytes in the presence of insulin. Although ascorbic acid promotes chondrogenic differentiation, the detailed regulative mechanisms underlying its role in chondrogenesis remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effects of ascorbic acid on insulin-induced chondrogenic differentiation of ATDC5 cells and the underlying intracellular signaling. The results revealed that insulin-stimulated collagen deposition, matrix formation, calcification, and expression of chondrogenic differentiation marker genes in ATDC5 cells. This enhancement by insulin was amplified with the addition of ascorbic acid. Molecular analysis revealed that the activation of insulin-induced phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling was enhanced in the presence of ascorbic acid. In contrast, Wnt/β-catenin signaling was suppressed during chondrocyte differentiation via upregulation of the Wnt agonist, secreted Frizzled-related protein 1 (sFRP-1) and 3 (sFRP-3). Notably, ascorbic acid upregulated the expression of insulin receptors and their substrates (IRS-1 and IRS-2). Furthermore, ascorbic acid reversed the suppression of IRS-1 and IRS-2 protein by insulin. These results indicate that ascorbic acid positively regulates the chondrogenic differentiation of ATDC5 cells via enhancement of insulin signaling. Our findings provide a substantial basis for further elucidation of the regulatory mechanisms of chondrocyte differentiation and the pathophysiology of OA, thus aiding in development of effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As more has become known of the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA), evidence that inflammation plays a critical role in its development and progression has accumulated. Here, we aim to review current knowledge of the complex inflammatory network in the OA joint. DESIGN This narrative review is presented in three main sections: local inflammation, systemic inflammation, and therapeutic implications. We focused on inflammatory mediators and their link to OA structural changes in the joint. RESULTS OA is characterized by chronic and low-grade inflammation mediated mostly by the innate immune system, which results in cartilage degradation, bone remodeling and synovial changes. Synovitis is regarded as an OA characteristic and associated with increased severity of symptoms and joint dysfunction. However, the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone also produce several pro-inflammatory mediators thus establishing a complex interplay between the different tissues of the joint. In addition, systemic low-grade inflammation induced by aging, obesity and metabolic syndrome can contribute to OA development and progression. The main inflammatory mediators associated with OA include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, adipokines, and neuropeptides. CONCLUSIONS Future research is needed to deeper understand the molecular pathways mediating the inflammation in OA to provide new therapeutics that target these pathways, or to repurpose existing drugs.

Abstract
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) poses a risk to animal and human health. Although the effects of FB1 on sphingolipid metabolism are well documented, there are limited studies covering the epigenetic modifications and early molecular alterations associated with carcinogenesis pathways caused by FB1 nephrotoxicity. The present study investigates the effects of FB1 on global DNA methylation, chromatin-modifying enzymes, and histone modification levels of the p16 gene in human kidney cells (HK-2) after 24 h exposure. An increase (2.23-fold) in the levels of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) at 100 µmol/L was observed, a change independent from the decrease in gene expression levels of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) at 50 and 100 µmol/L; however, DNMT3a and DNMT3b were significantly upregulated at 100 µmol/L of FB1. Dose-dependent downregulation of chromatin-modifying genes was observed after FB1 exposure. In addition, chromatin immunoprecipitation results showed that 10 µmol/L of FB1 induced a significant decrease in H3K9ac, H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 modifications of p16, while 100 µmol/L of FB1 caused a significant increase in H3K27me3 levels of p16. Taken together, the results suggest that epigenetic mechanisms might play a role in FB1 carcinogenesis through DNA methylation, and histone and chromatin modifications.

Abstract
Mechano growth factor (MGF), an isoform of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), is recognized as a typical mechanically sensitive growth factor and has been shown to play an indispensable role in the skeletal system. In the joint cavity, MGF is highly expressed in chondrocytes, especially in the damaged cartilage tissue caused by trauma or degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). Cartilage is an extremely important component of joints because it functions as a shock absorber and load distributer at the weight-bearing interfaces in the joint cavity, but it can hardly be repaired once injured due to its lack of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. MGF has been proven to play an important role in chondrocyte cell behaviors, including cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, inflammatory reactions and apoptosis, in and around the injury site. Moreover, under the normalized mechanical microenvironment in the joint cavity, MGF can sense and respond to mechanical stimuli, regulate chondrocyte activity, and maintain the homeostasis of cartilage tissue. Recent reports continue to explain its effects on various cell types and sport-related tissues, but its role in cartilage development, homeostasis and disease occurrence is still controversial, and its internal biological mechanism is still elusive. In this review, we summarize recent discoveries in the role of MGF in chondrocytes and cartilage defects, including tissue repair at the macroscopic level and chondrocyte activities at the microcosmic level, and discuss the current state of research and potential gaps in knowledge.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent progressive disease that frequently coexists with obesity. For several decades, OA was thought to be the result of ageing and mechanical stress on cartilage. Researchers' perspective has been greatly transformed when cumulative findings emphasized the role of adipose tissue in the diseases. Nowadays, the metabolic effect of obesity on cartilage tissue has become an integral part of obesity research; hoping to discover a disease-modifying drug for OA. Recently, several adipokines have been reported to be associated with OA. Particularly, metrnl (meteorin-like) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) have been recognized as emerging adipokines that can mediate OA pathogenesis. Accordingly, in this review, we will summarize the latest findings concerned with the metabolic contribution of obesity in OA pathogenesis, with particular emphasis on dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and adipokines. Additionally, we will discuss the most recent adipokines that have been reported to play a role in this context. Careful consideration of these molecular mechanisms interrelated with obesity and OA will undoubtedly unveil new avenues for OA treatment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and debilitating joint disorder that leads to progressive joint breakdown and loss of articular cartilage. Accompanied by a state of low-grade inflammation, its etiology extends beyond that of a wear-and-tear disease, and the immune system might have a role in its initiation and progression. Obesity, which is directly associated with an increased incidence of OA, alters adipokine release, increases pro-inflammatory macrophage activity, and affects joint immune regulation. Studying inflammatory macrophage expression and strategies to inhibit inflammatory macrophage phenotype polarization might provide insights into disease pathogenesis and therapeutic applications. In pre-clinical studies, the detection of OA in its initial stages was shown to be possible using imaging techniques such as SPECT-CT, and advances are made to detect OA through blood-based biomarker analysis. In this review, obesity-induced osteoarthritis and its mechanisms in inducing joint degeneration are summarized, along with an analysis of the current developments in patient imaging and biomarker use for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a worldwide chronic disease that can cause severe inflammation to damage the surrounding tissue and cartilage. There are many different factors that can lead to osteoarthritis, but abnormally progressed programmed cell death is one of the most important risk factors that can induce osteoarthritis. Prior studies have demonstrated that programmed cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy, and cuproptosis, has a great connection with osteoarthritis. In this paper, we review the role of different types of programmed cell death in the generation and development of OA and how the different signal pathways modulate the different cell death to regulate the development of OA. Additionally, this review provides new insights into the radical treatment of osteoarthritis rather than conservative treatment, such as anti-inflammation drugs or surgical operation.

Abstract
Autophagy, as a fundamental mechanism for cellular homeostasis, is generally involved in the occurrence and progression of various diseases. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease that often leads to pain, disability and economic loss in patients. Post-traumatic OA (PTOA) is a subtype of OA, accounting for >12% of the overall burden of OA. PTOA is often caused by joint injuries including anterior cruciate ligament rupture, meniscus tear and intra-articular fracture. Although a variety of methods have been developed to treat acute joint injury, the current measures have limited success in effectively reducing the incidence and delaying the progression of PTOA. Therefore, the pathogenesis and intervention strategy of PTOA need further study. In the past decade, the roles and mechanisms of autophagy in PTOA have aroused great interest in the field. It was revealed that autophagy could maintain the homeostasis of chondrocytes, reduce joint inflammatory level, prevent chondrocyte death and matrix degradation, which accordingly improved joint symptoms and delayed the progression of PTOA. Moreover, many strategies that target PTOA have been revealed to promote autophagy. In this review, we summarize the roles and mechanisms of autophagy in PTOA and the current strategies for PTOA treatment that depend on autophagy regulation, which may be beneficial for PTOA patients in the future.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate microRNA-320a-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways in osteoarthritis (OA) by bioinformatic analysis. Methods The target genes of microRNA-320a were searched and collected from MiRTarBase microRNA Targets dataset, the TargetScan Predicted Nonconserved microRNA Targets dataset and the TargetScan Predicted Conserved microRNA Targets dataset. OA-related microRNAs and OA-related target genes were collected from GeneCards databases. The pathway enrichment analysis of miRNAs ware performed by Funrich analysis tool. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis was obtained from Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). GeneMANIA and STRING are used for protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Module analysis was performed by Cytoscape. Results A total of 176 OA related miRNAs were searched and collected for enrichment analysis, and microRNA-320a was one of OA related miRNAs. Enrichment pathway and analysis of 1721 miRNA-320a-related target genes from MiRTarBase and TargetScan were performed using the online tools Metascape. And results shown that the biological processes were remarkably enriched in chromatin organization, cellular response to DNA damage stimuli, mRNA metabolic process, protein ubiquitination, and regulation of cell adhesion. And then we analysed miRNA-320a-targeted OA genes via KEGG, GO enrichment and PPI Network. Our results showed that miRNA-320a played a role in OA through FoxO signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, focal adhesion, MAPK signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway and cellular senescence. And we speculate that MAPK signaling pathway plays a key role in the effect of miRNA-320a on OA. Conclusion This study implied microRNA-320a-related DEGs and dysregulated pathways in OA. The aim is to screen miRNA-320a-related genes and pathways in OA and, eventually, to improve the understanding of underlying mechanisms of miRNA-320a in OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed: (1) to compare the transcriptome profile of articular cartilage in cam-FAI (early stage) to advanced OA secondary to cam-FAI (late stage) and (2) to investigate epigenetic changes through the expression of DNA methylation enzymes DNMT3B, DNMT1, and DNMT3A and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in human cartilage samples during the progression of hip OA. METHODS Full-thickness cartilage samples were collected from the anterolateral head-neck junction (impingement zone) of 22 patients (9 early-FAI and 13 late-FAI). RNA sequencing and in vitro cartilage cultures with histological analysis and immunohistochemistry staining for PPARγ and DNMT3B were performed. Target gene validation was confirmed with RT-PCR. RESULTS Fifty genes and 42 pathways were identified differentially between early and late-FAI (fold change <-1.5 or >1.5, P < .01). PPARγ and DNMT3B were gradually suppressed with disease progression. Contrarily, disease progression induced expression of DNMT1/3A. CONCLUSION By comparing comprehensive gene expression in early and late stage hip degeneration at the whole-genome level, distinct transcriptome profiles for early and late stage disease were identified along with key molecular contributors to the progression of hip OA. Preservation of endogenous PPARγ may have therapeutic potential to delay or prevent hip OA.

Four-octyl itaconate improves osteoarthritis by enhancing autophagy in chondrocytes via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway inhibition. Commun Biol 2022; 5:641.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent and chronic disorder that is associated with a substantial social and economic burden. Itaconate, as an important regulator of cellular inflammation, is a metabolite synthesised by an enzyme encoded by immune-responsive gene 1. However, there are few studys regarding the effects of itaconate on OA. Here, we show the effect of the cell-permeable itaconate derivative 4-octyl itaconate (OI) on OA. OI attenuates the chondrocyte apoptosis induced by interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in vitro, indicating that OI protect chondrocytes against apoptosis. Moreover, OI ameliorates the chondrocyte autophagy inhibition induced by IL-1β via the inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway. Finally, OI enhances autophagy and reduces cartilage degradation in a rat model of OA established by destabilization of medial meniscus (DMM). In summary, our findings reveal that OI is involved in regulating the progression of OA. The above results shed light on the treatment of OA. 4-octyl itaconate (OI) attenuates chondrocyte apoptosis and ameliorates cartilage degradation and defection of autophagy induced by IL-1 β via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. OI improved the autophagy and reduced the inflammation of rat models of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
The widespread usage of plastic products in human life has led to extensive exposure to plasticizers and resulted in serious health problems for humans, which has become a focus of toxicology research in the world. We aimed to explore the potential mechanism of liver insulin resistance induced by di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and working on a novel treatment to alleviate insulin resistance caused by excessive exposure to DEHP. For this purpose, in vivo and in vitro experiments were conducted, and the pivotal factors in the insulin signaling pathway were analyzed. In vivo study showed DEHP could lead to liver injury and insulin resistance. DEHP could break the balance of oxidative stress and cause accumulation of inflammatory factors. Genomics and proteomics experiment results revealed that DEHP could inhibit the mRNA and protein expression of insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and glucose transporter 4. Nevertheless, the liver insulin resistance induced by DEHP could be reversed by Verapamil (thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) inhibitor). Thus, we confirmed that DEHP caused insulin resistance by affecting the TXNIP in liver, further damaging the conduction of insulin signaling pathway. Therefore, adding Verapamil to the treatment of patients with insulin resistance due to plasticizers might be more effective.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease that affects millions of individuals. The pathogenesis of OA has not been fully elucidated. Obesity is a well-recognized risk factor for OA. Multiple studies have demonstrated adipokines play a key role in obesity-induced OA. Increasing evidence show that various adipokines may significantly affect the development or clinical course of OA by regulating the pro/anti-inflammatory and anabolic/catabolic balance, matrix remodeling, chondrocyte apoptosis and autophagy, and subchondral bone sclerosis. Several signaling pathways are involved but still have not been systematically investigated. In this article, we review the cellular and molecular mechanisms of adipokines in OA, and highlight the possible signaling pathways. The review suggested adipokines play important roles in obesity-induced OA, and exert downstream function via the activation of various signaling pathways. In addition, some pharmaceuticals targeting these pathways have been applied into ongoing clinical trials and showed encouraging results. However, these signaling pathways are complex and converge into a common network with each other. In the future work, more research is warranted to further investigate how this network works. Moreover, more high quality randomised controlled trials are needed in order to investigate the therapeutic effects of pharmaceuticals against these pathways for the treatment of OA. This review may help researchers to better understand the pathogenesis of OA, so as to provide new insight for future clinical practices and translational research.

Abstract
Electrospinning has been widely used to fabricate fibrous scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering, but their small pores severely restrict cell infiltration, resulting in an uneven distribution of cells across the scaffold, particularly in three-dimensional designs. If bio-electrospraying is applied, direct chondrocyte incorporation into the fibers during electrospinning may be a solution. However, before this approach can be effectively employed, it is critical to identify whether chondrocytes are adversely affected. Several electrospraying operating settings were tested to determine their effect on the survival and function of an immortalized human chondrocyte cell line. These chondrocytes survived through an electric field formed by low needle-to-collector distances and low voltage. No differences in chondrocyte viability, morphology, gene expression, or proliferation were found. Preliminary data of the combination of electrospraying and polymer electrospinning disclosed that chondrocyte integration was feasible using an alternated approach. The overall increase in chondrocyte viability over time indicated that the embedded cells retained their proliferative capacity. Besides the cell line, primary chondrocytes were also electrosprayed under the previously optimized operational conditions, revealing the higher sensitivity degree of these cells. Still, their post-electrosprayed viability remained considerably high. The data reported here further suggest that bio-electrospraying under the optimal operational conditions might be a promising alternative to the existent cell seeding techniques, promoting not only cells safe delivery to the scaffold, but also the development of cellularized cartilage tissue constructs.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent degenerative joint diseases, which results in the inevitable destruction of joints leading to pain and joint immobility. Some studies have reported a potential link between diabetes mellitus (DM) and the worsening symptoms and severity of OA. Based on our literature review, the microcellular environment of patients with DM showed accelerated joint destruction and increased inflammation in every anatomical aspect of the joint including the bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and synovium. Additionally, the biomechanical and biochemical properties of these tissues were more severely impacted in patients with DM and OA compared to those without DM, suggesting that DM plays an important role in the pathogenesis of OA. Specifically, we found that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are the key to inducing the acceleration of joint destruction; however, their role in the pathogenesis has yet to be fully mapped out. In this narrative review, we aim to explore the role that DM plays in the acceleration of OA leading to increased reports of joint pain in those with both diseases. We believe this topic of discussion to be important due to the increased prevalence of both diseases over the last several decades, potentially leading to an increased medical burden on both patients and the community at large.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of intraarticular insulin on the treatment of chondral defects. DESIGN Twenty-four mature New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups as control (Group 1), microfracture (Group 2), and microfracture and insulin (Group 3). Four-millimeter full-thickness cartilage defects were created to the weight-bearing surface on the medial femoral condyles of each rabbit. In the first group, any additional interventions were not performed. Microfracture was performed on defects in groups 2 and 3. Additionally, 10 IU of insulin glargine was administrated into the knee joints of the third group. Three months after surgery, the knee joints were harvested and cartilage quality was assessed according to Wakitani and ICRS (International Cartilage Repair Society) scores histopathologically. Insulin injections were performed into the knees of 2 additional rabbits without creating a cartilage defect to evaluate the potential adverse effects of insulin on healthy cartilage (Group 4). RESULTS The total ICRS and Wakitani scores of the insulin group were found to be significantly lower than the microfracture group but similar to the control group. No negative effects of insulin on healthy cartilage were detected. Intraarticular insulin after surgery has led to a statistically significant decrease in systemic blood sugar levels whereas the decrease observed after administration to intact tissues was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Insulin had a negative influence on the quality of cartilage regeneration and had no effect on healthy cartilage. Intraarticular insulin administration does not cause significant systemic effects in intact tissue.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major health problem worldwide that affects the joints and causes severe disability. It is characterized by pain and low-grade inflammation. However, the exact pathogenesis remains unknown and the therapeutic options are limited. In OA articular chondrocytes undergo a phenotypic transition becoming hypertrophic, which leads to cartilage damage, aggravating the disease. Therefore, a therapeutic agent inhibiting hypertrophy would be a promising disease-modifying drug. The therapeutic use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has been mainly focused on oncology, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the Janus kinase inhibitor Tofacitinib in Rheumatoid Arthritis has broadened the applicability of these compounds to other diseases. Interestingly, tyrosine kinases have been associated with chondrocyte hypertrophy. In this review, we discuss the experimental evidence that implicates specific tyrosine kinases in signaling pathways promoting chondrocyte hypertrophy, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets for OA.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) impairs bone formation and fracture healing in humans. Akita mice carry a mutation in one allele of the insulin-2 (Ins2) gene, which leads to pancreatic beta cell dysfunction and hyperglycemia by 5-6 weeks age. We hypothesized that T1DM in Akita mice is associated with decreased bone mass, weaker bones, and impaired fracture healing. Ins2 ± (Akita) and wildtype (WT) males were subjected to femur fracture at 18-weeks age and healing assessed 3-21 days post-fracture. Non-fractured left femurs were assessed for morphology (microCT) and strength (bending or torsion) at 19-21 weeks age. Fractured right femurs were assessed for callus mechanics (torsion), morphology and composition (microCT and histology) and gene expression (qPCR). Both Akita and WT mice gained weight from 3 to 18 weeks age, but Akita mice weighed less starting at 5 weeks (-5.2%, p < 0.05). At 18-20 weeks age Akita mice had reduced serum osteocalcin (-30%), cortical bone area (-16%), and thickness (-17%) compared to WT, as well as reduced cancellous BV/TV (-39%), trabecular thickness (-23%) and vBMD (-31%). Mechanical testing of non-fractured femurs showed decreased structural (stiffness, ultimate load) and material (ultimate stress) properties of Akita bones. At 14 and 21 days post fracture Akita mice had a significantly smaller callus than WT mice (~30%), with less cartilage and bone area. Assessment of torsional strength showed a weaker callus in Akita mice with lower stiffness (-42%), maximum torque (-44%) and work to fracture (-44%). In summary, cortical and cancellous bone mass were reduced in Akita mice, with lower bone mechanical properties. Fracture healing in Akita mice was impaired by T1DM, with a smaller, weaker fracture callus due to decreased cartilage and bone formation. In conclusion, the Akita mouse mimics some of the skeletal features of T1DM in humans, including osteopenia and impaired fracture healing, and may be useful to test interventions.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered the most frequent degenerative disease and is characterized by cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) are vital to synovial inflammation in OA. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia (HINS) and has been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for OA. Autophagy is involved in the processes of various inflammatory diseases, and autophagy inhibition can stimulate OA development. Thus, we aimed to investigate the role of insulin in the inflammatory phenotype and autophagy of FLSs in OA. The data showed that cell viability and proinflammatory cytokine production in FLSs were both increased after insulin stimulation. We also found that high insulin could promote macrophage infiltration and chemokine production but inhibited autophagy in FLSs. To further explore the potential mechanisms, the effects of insulin on PI3K/Akt/mTOR and NF-ĸB signaling activation were evaluated. The results indicated that insulin activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR/NF-ĸB signaling, and the above-mentioned inflammatory responses, including autophagy inhibition, were notably attenuated by specific signaling inhibitors in the presence of high insulin. Moreover, the data showed that a positive feedback loop existed between proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) and PI3K/mTOR/Akt/NF-ĸB signaling in FLSs, and insulin enhanced this feedback loop to accelerate OA progression. Our study suggests that insulin may be a novel therapeutic strategy for OA prevention and treatment in the future.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) are common chronic diseases that frequently co-exist. The link between OA and T2DM is attributed to common risk factors, including age and obesity. Several reports suggest that hyperglycemia and accumulated advanced glycosylation end-products might regulate cartilage homeostasis and contribute to the development and progression of OA. Metformin is used widely as the first-line treatment for T2DM. The drug acts by regulating glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity. The anti-diabetic effects of metformin are mediated mainly via activation of adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is an energy sensing enzyme activated directly by an increase in the AMP/ATP ratio under conditions of metabolic stress. Dysregulation of AMPK is strongly associated with development of T2DM and metabolic syndrome. In this review, we discuss common risk factors, the association between OA and T2DM, and the role of AMPK. We also address the adaptive use of metformin, a known AMPK activator, as a new drug for treatment of patients with OA and T2DM.

Cytokine 2020; 138:155368. [PMID: 33248913 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2020.155368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several insights into obesity-osteoarthritis (OA) relationship have been recently highlighted. Adipolin and metrnl are new adipokines also secreted by chondrocytes. However, their role in OA, and obesity-OA interplay hasn't been elucidated. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the circulating as well as synovial fluid (SF) levels of adipolin and metrnl in osteoarthritic-patients compared to non-osteoarthritic subjects, and to study their association with OA-severity, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance (IR). METHODS Patients with osteoarthritis and obesity (n = 30), and subjects with obesity not suffering OA (n = 25) were enrolled in the current study. Circulating and SF-levels of adipolin, metrnl, and insulin, as well as SF-levels of matrix-metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) were measured by ELISA. Knee-radiographs using X-ray were done to determine OA-severity, and investigate its association with adipokines' levels. RESULTS Serum and SF-adipolin levels showed tendency to be lower in OA-patients compared to non-OA-subjects; serum: 0.64 [0.45-0.85] and 0.73 [0.62-0.78] ng/ml, p = 0.174, and SF: 0.53 [0.34-0.69] and 0.63 [0.44-0.74] ng/ml, p = 0.353, respectively. Additionally, serum adipolin showed negative-association with SF-MMP-13. However, when stratifying OA-patients into various severity grades, serum adipolin levels did not show a significant difference between them. Regarding serum metrnl, it was significantly lower in OA-patients compared to non-OA-subjects; 19.68 [10.40-53.40] and 48.83 [20.80-86.60] pg/ml, respectively, p = 0.018. Surprisingly, SF-metrnl levels were higher in OA-patients compared to non-OA-subjects; 912 [367-1524] and 315 [125-484] pg/ml, respectively, p = 0.007. SF-metrnl showed positive-association with insulin resistance, and negative-association with SF-MMP-13. Moreover, higher serum metrnl levels were found to be slightly associated with lower likelihood of OA in subjects with obesity; OR = 0.978, CI (0.960- 0.996), p = 0.02, and its levels were also found to be relatively lower in grade-4 compared to the less severe OAgrades. CONCLUSIONS Metrnl, and to a lesser extent adipolin seem to be interrelated with OA. Different in-context regulatory mechanisms for metrnl production from various tissues are strongly suggested. Importantly, the findings of the current study shed lights on metrnl as a potential novel mediator and therapeutic target to consider in obesity-OA interplay.

Abstract
In osteoarthritis (OA), inhibition of excessively expressed pro-inflammatory cytokines in the OA joint and increasing the anabolism for cartilage regeneration are necessary. In this ex-vivo study, we used an inflammatory model of human OA chondrocytes microtissues, consisting of treatment with cytokines (interleukin 1β (IL-1β)/tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)) with or without supplementation of six herbal compounds with previously identified chondroprotective effect. The compounds were assessed for their capacity to modulate the key catabolic and anabolic factors using several molecular analyses. We selectively investigated the mechanism of action of the two most potent compounds Vanillic acid (VA) and Epimedin C (Epi C). After identification of the anti-inflammatory and anabolic properties of VA and Epi C, the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis showed that in both treatment groups, osteoarthritic signaling pathways were inhibited. In the treatment group with VA, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling was inhibited by attenuation of the nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor alpha (IκBα) phosphorylation. Epi C showed a significant anabolic effect by increasing the expression of collagenous and non-collagenous matrix proteins. In conclusion, VA, through inhibition of phosphorylation in NF-κB signaling pathway and Epi C, by increasing the expression of extracellular matrix components, showed significant anti-inflammatory and anabolic properties and might be potentially used in combination to treat or prevent joint OA.

Insulin Resistance in Osteoarthritis: Similar Mechanisms to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. J Nutr Metab 2020; 2020:4143802.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are two of the most widespread chronic diseases. OA and T2D have common epidemiologic traits, are considered heterogenic multifactorial pathologies that develop through the interaction of genetic and environmental factors, and have common risk factors. In addition, both of these diseases often manifest in a single patient. Despite differences in clinical manifestations, both diseases are characterized by disturbances in cellular metabolism and by an insulin-resistant state primarily associated with the production and utilization of energy. However, currently, the primary cause of OA development and progression is not clear. In addition, although OA is manifested as a joint disease, evidence has accumulated that it affects the whole body. As pathological insulin resistance is viewed as a driving force of T2D development, now, we present evidence that the molecular and cellular metabolic disturbances associated with OA are linked to an insulin-resistant state similar to T2D. Moreover, the alterations in cellular energy requirements associated with insulin resistance could affect many metabolic changes in the body that eventually result in pathology and could serve as a unified mechanism that also functions in many metabolic diseases. However, these issues have not been comprehensively described. Therefore, here, we discuss the basic molecular mechanisms underlying the pathological processes associated with the development of insulin resistance; the major inducers, regulators, and metabolic consequences of insulin resistance; and instruments for controlling insulin resistance as a new approach to therapy.

Abstract
Estrogen hormones are important for cartilage homeostasis, but nothing is known regarding the expression and role of the membrane G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30), in adult articular chondrocytes. Using immunohistochemistry of cartilage sections, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot of chondrocyte extracts, we found that these cells express GPR30. Nonetheless, the pattern of bands detected by two distinct antibodies does not overlap, suggesting that the proteins detected represent partially degraded forms of the receptor. Treatment with GPR30 agonists did not induce Akt or ERK1/2 phosphorylation, two known GPR30-activated signaling pathways, suggesting that GPR30 is not functional in human chondrocytes. Therefore, the protective anti-osteoarthritic role of estrogen hormones in cartilage homeostasis is likely independent of GPR30. This study was performed using human cartilage collected from the distal femoral condyles of multiorgan donors at the Bone and Tissue Bank of the University and Hospital Center of Coimbra.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complicated degenerative disease that affects whole joint tissue. Currently, apart from surgical approaches to treat late stage OA, effective treatments to reverse OA are not available. Thus, the mechanisms leading to OA, and more effective approaches to treat OA should be investigated. According to available evidence, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is essential for normal metabolism of joint tissues, but is also involved in development of OA. To provide a wide viewpoint to roles of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in osteoarthritis, a comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed terms 'PI3K OR AKT OR mTOR' and 'osteoarthritis'. This review highlights the role of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in cartilage degradation, subchondral bone dysfunction, and synovial inflammation, and discusses how this signaling pathway affects development of the disease. We also summarize recent evidences of therapeutic approaches to treat OA by targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, and discuss potential challenges in developing these strategies for clinical treatment of OA.

Abstract
Over the last decades, osteoarthritis (OA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence increased due to the global ageing population and the pandemic obesity. They currently affect a substantial part of the Western world population and are characterized by enhancing the risk of disability and reduction of quality of life. OA is a multifactorial condition whose development derives from the interaction between individual and environmental factors: The best known primarily include age, female gender, genetic determinants, articular biomechanics, and obesity (OB). Given the high prevalence of OA and T2D and their association with OB and inflammation, several studies have been conducted to investigate the causative role of biological characteristics proper to T2D on the development of OA. This review aims to analyse the relationship between of OA and T2D, in order to explain the pathophysiological drivers of the degenerative process and to delineate possible targets to which appropriate treatments may be addressed in the near future.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes mellitus represent two the most common chronic diseases. They possess many shared epidemiologic traits, have common risk factors, and embody heterogeneous multifactorial pathologies, which develop due to interaction of genetic an environmental factors. In addition, these diseases are often occurring in the same patient. In spite of the differences in clinical manifestation both diseases have similar disturbances of cellular metabolism, primarily associated with ATP production and utilization. The review discusses molecular mechanisms determining pathophysiological processes associated with glucose and lipid metabolism as well as the means aiming to alleviate the disturbances of energy metabolism as a new a therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation are now recognized as important factors in the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of the cell, and also regulate different processes involved in the pathogenesis of OA including inflammation, apoptosis, calcium metabolism and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Mitochondria contain their own genetic material, mtDNA, which evolved through the sequential accumulation of mtDNA variants to enable humans to adapt to different climates. The ROS and reactive metabolic intermediates that are by-products of mitochondrial metabolism are regulated in part by mtDNA and are among the signals that transmit information between mitochondria and the nucleus. These signals can alter nuclear gene expression and, when disrupted, affect a number of cellular processes and metabolic pathways, leading to disease. mtDNA variation influences OA-associated phenotypes, including those related to metabolism, inflammation and even ageing, as well as nuclear epigenetic regulation. This influence also enables the use of specific mtDNA haplogroups as complementary diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) are common diseases that frequently co-exist, along with overweight/obesity. While the mechanical impact of excess body weight on joints may explain lower limb OA, we sought to explore whether T2DM is linked to OA outside of excess weight and whether T2DM may play a role in OA pathophysiology. The consequence of T2DM on OA outcomes is a question of research interest. METHODS We conducted a critical review of the literature to explore the association between T2DM and OA, whether any association is site-specific for OA, and whether the presence of T2DM impacts on OA outcomes. We also reviewed the literature to assess the safety of anti-OA treatments in patients with T2DM. RESULTS T2DM has a pathogenic effect on OA through 2 major pathways involving oxidative stress and low-grade chronic inflammation resulting from chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. T2DM is a risk factor for OA progression and has a negative impact on arthroplasty outcomes. Evidence is mounting for safety concerns with some of the most frequently prescribed anti-OA medications, including paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroid injections, while other anti-OA medications may be safely prescribed in OA patients with T2DM, such as glucosamine and intra-articular hyaluronic acid. CONCLUSIONS Future research is needed to better understand whether diabetes control and prevention can modulate OA occurrence and progression. The selection of therapy to treat OA symptoms in patients with T2DM may require careful consideration of the evidence based to avoid untoward safety issues.

Abstract
The association between osteoarthritis (OA), obesity and metabolic syndrome suggests an interrelation between OA and diabetes mellitus (DM). Little is known about the role of anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 in the interrelation between OA and DM. Hence, the effects of IL-10 under hyperglycemia (HG) and hyperinsulinemia (HI) in human articular chondrocytes (hAC) and chondrosarcoma cell line Okayama University Medical School (OUMS)-27 were examined. HAC and OUMS-27, cultured in normoglycemic (NG) and HG conditions were stimulated with insulin and/or IL-10. Cell survival, metabolic activity, proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis were immunocytochemically examined. No significant differences in vitality of hAC neither in pure NG (NGw/o) nor HG (HGw/o) conditions were found. Applying HI and/or IL-10 in both conditions reduced significantly the vitality of hAC but not of OUMS-27. HG impaired significantly hAC metabolism. When combined with HI + IL-10 or IL-10 alone it decreased also significantly hAC proliferation compared to NGw/o. In OUMS-27 it induced only a trend of impaired proliferation compared to NGw/o. hAC but not OUMS-27 reduced significantly their collagen type (col) I, SOX9 and proteoglycan (PG) synthesis in HG combined with HI +/− IL-10 compared to NGw/o. IL-10 could not moderate HI and HG effects. In contrast to hAC OUMS-27 showed limited sensitivity as DM model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE (1) To investigate differences in pain severity and its distribution between patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) in a population with advanced osteoarthritis (OA). (2) To explore the role of medication used for diabetes in these associations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a hospital-based cohort study of patients with advanced OA requiring total joint arthroplasty. Interviews and electronic records included: age, gender, occupation, DM (including medication and duration), analgesics used, anthropometry, joints affected by pain and disease duration. Joint pain was scored by the patients using numerical rating scale. Pain severity score was calculated by adding the number of joints affected by pain and the maximum pain score. All analyses were adjusted and/or stratified by gender, age and body mass index. RESULTS In total, 489 patients with painful OA were included. From those, 139 patients had DM (30% males and 28% females, p=0.03). Pain severity, principally the number of joints affected by pain, and analgesic consumption, was higher in males with diabetes compared with males without diabetes (p=0.012 and OR=3.03; 95% CI 1.24 to 7.36, p=0.015, respectively). These associations were not significant in females (p=0.41 and p=0.66). Pain was more severe in males using insulin versus those who did not (p=0.025). Male subjects with diabetes had higher odds of hand pain or knee and hand pain compared with males without diabetes (OR=3.7, 95% CI 1.15 to 12; p=0.028 and OR=5.54; 95% CI 1.43 to 21.5, p=0.013, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Males with diabetes, especially those who require insulin, have more severe joint pain and consume more analgesics than males without diabetes or those who have DM and use other DM medication.

Abstract
Previous studies have addressed the involvement of phosphoinositide-specifc phospholipase γ1 (PLCγ1) and protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis, but it is not ascertained the possibility of them to be potential targets for OA therapy. Here, through local intra-articular injection of PLCγ or Akt inhibitor in a rat OA model induced by anterior cruciate ligament transaction plus medial meniscus resection, the architecture of chondrocyte and matrix organization of articular cartilage were observed using histopathological assays and Aggrecan, Col2, PLCγ1, and Akt levels were detected using immunohistochemistry assays. By treatment of Akt or PLCγ inhibitor and transfection of different PLCγ1- or Akt-expressing vectors in rat OA model chondrocytes, Aggrecan, Col2, PLCγ1, p-PLCγ1, Akt, and p-Akt levels were detected using western blotting analysis. The binding between PLCγ1 and Akt was assessed with co-immunoprecipitation assays in human OA chondrocytes. These results showed that PLCγ inhibition protected chondrocytes against OA, but Akt inhibition did not dramatically aggravate OA progression. There were mutual antagonism and binding between PLCγ1 and Akt that could be regulated by their phosphorylation levels. Consequently, the data reveal that the inhibition of PLCγ1 may provide an attractive therapeutic target for OA therapy, implicating its binding to Akt.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Today, not only the existence of an interrelation between obesity/adipositas and osteoarthritis (OA) but also the association of OA and diabetes mellitus (DM) are widely recognized. Nevertheless, shared influence factors facilitating OA development in DM patients still remain speculative up until now. To supplement the analysis of clinical data, appropriate in vitro models could help to identify shared pathogenetic pathways. Informative in vitro studies could later be complemented by in vivo data obtained from suitable animal models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Therefore, this detailed review of available literature was undertaken to discuss and compare the results of currently published in vitro studies focusing on the interrelation between OA, the metabolic syndrome and DM and to propose models to further study the molecular pathways. RESULTS The survey of literature presented here supports the hypothesis that the pathogenesis of OA in DM is based on imbalanced molecular pathways with a putative crucial role of antiinflammatory cytokines such as IL-10. CONCLUSION Future development of versatile micro-scaled in vitro models such as combining DM and OA on chip could allow the identification of common pathogenetic pathways and might help to develop novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Despite various animal serums being used widely to culture chondrocytes, the regulatory mechanism of serum on chondrocyte activities has not been elucidated. In the present study, human osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes were used to perform in vitro investigations on the effect of different concentrations of bovine fetal serum on extracellular matrix synthesis, cell proliferation and autophagy using the Cell Counting Kit‑8 analysis, a laser‑scanning confocal microscope, and western blot analysis. The results demonstrated that 5% serum exerted a chondroprotective effect more than the other concentrations of serum, as it simultaneously promoted cell proliferation, autophagy, and ECM synthesis in human OA chondrocytes. Furthermore, the decreased mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and increased Akt were observed in 5% serum‑treated OA chondrocytes. Either mTOR or Akt inhibitor influenced the effect of 5% serum on cell proliferation and autophagy in human OA chondrocytes, which was associated with LC‑3B or B‑cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl‑2) signal molecules. Consistent with previous studies, the present study proposes that 5% serum promotes cell proliferation via the Akt/Bcl‑2 axis and induces autophagy via the mTOR/LC‑3B axis in human OA chondrocytes. Furthermore, the different roles of Akt and mTOR in the cell processes of human OA chondrocytes require consideration for preclinical and clinical therapy of OA.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogenic endocrine disruptor, is widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, resulting in high risk on human health. In present study we aimed to investigate the effects of BPA on global and gene specific DNA methylation, global histone modifications and regulation of chromatin modifiying enzymes in human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y). Cells were treated with BPA at 0.1, 1 and 10μM concentrations for 48 and 96h. IC50 value of BPA was determined as 183 and 129μM in SH-SY5Y cells after 24h by MTT and NRU tests, respectively. We observed significant alterations on the 5-mC% levels (1.3 fold) and 5-hmC% levels (1.67 fold) after 10μM of BPA for 96h. Significant decrease was identified in H3K9me3 and H3K9ac after 10μM of BPA for 96h while decrease was observed in H3K4me3 at 10μM of BPA for 48h. Alterations were observed in chromatin modifiying genes including G9a, EZH2, SETD8, SETD1A, HAT1, SIRT1, DNMT1, RIZ1 and Suv39h1 after 96h of BPA exposure. Taken together, this study suggests that BPA might modulate the epigenetic regulators which would be key molecular events in the toxicity of endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Abstract
Objective Obesity is a state of chronic inflammation that is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), as well as an increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA). This study was undertaken to define the links between obesity‐associated inflammation, insulin resistance, and OA, by testing the hypotheses that 1) tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is critical in mediating these pathologic changes in OA, and 2) insulin has direct effects on the synovial joint that are compromised by insulin resistance. Methods The effects of TNF and insulin on catabolic gene expression were determined in fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) isolated from human OA synovium. Synovial TNF expression and OA progression were examined in 2 mouse models, high‐fat (HF) diet–fed obese mice with type 2 DM and TNF‐knockout mice. Insulin resistance was investigated in synovium from patients with type 2 DM. Results Insulin receptors (IRs) were abundant in both mouse and human synovial membranes. Human OA FLS were insulin responsive, as indicated by the dose‐dependent phosphorylation of IRs and Akt. In cultures of human OA FLS with exogenous TNF, the expression and release of MMP1, MMP13, and ADAMTS4 by FLS were markedly increased, whereas after treatment with insulin, these effects were selectively inhibited by >50%. The expression of TNF and its abundance in the synovium were elevated in samples from obese mice with type 2 DM. In TNF‐knockout mice, increases in osteophyte formation and synovial hyperplasia associated with the HF diet were blunted. The synovium from OA patients with type 2 DM contained markedly more macrophages and showed elevated TNF levels as compared to the synovium from OA patients without diabetes. Moreover, insulin‐dependent phosphorylation of IRs and Akt was blunted in cultures of OA FLS from patients with type 2 DM. Conclusion TNF appears to be involved in mediating the advanced progression of OA seen in type 2 DM. While insulin plays a protective, antiinflammatory role in the synovium, insulin resistance in patients with type 2 DM may impair this protective effect and promote the progression of OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between markers of glucose metabolism and hand and knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline measurements of the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) study, a population-based prospective cohort study. Fasting glucose, insulin and glycated hemoglobulin A1c (HbA1c) concentrations were measured, Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated and clinical OA was defined following the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. After exclusion of participants on glucose-lowering drugs, odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for either hand, knee or both hand and knee OA were calculated (no OA as reference), as a function of each marker of glucose metabolism, with logistic regression analyses. Models were adjusted for age, ethnicity, education, height, weight and total body fat, and stratified by sex. RESULTS In 6197 participants (age 45-65 years, 56% women, mean body mass index (BMI) 26 kg/m(2)), prevalences of hand OA, knee OA or both were 7%, 10% or 4%, respectively. In men, the adjusted OR (95%CI) for hand OA was 1.18 (1.01-1.39) per standard deviation (SD) increase in plasma glucose (0.85 mmol/L). There were no further associations of glucose, HbA1c, insulin and HOMA-IR with the different types of OA, neither in men nor in women. CONCLUSION An impaired glucose metabolism does not seem be related to OA. In men, an association was observed for fasting glucose concentrations and hand OA. Future studies should investigate the presence of sex differences in the pathogenesis of hand OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Autophagy, a key homeostasis mechanism, is defective in Osteoarthritis (OA) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). T2D has been proposed as a risk factor for OA. We hypothesized that diabetes impairs articular cartilage integrity by decreasing autophagy. Our objective was to investigate the effects of high glucose and insulin, characteristics of T2D, on cartilage homeostasis. METHODS Immortalized human chondrocytes (TC28a2) and primary human chondrocytes (HC) were cultured in 25 mM or 0 mM glucose and treated with insulin (10, 100, 500 nM) for 2, 6 or 24 h. Activity of LC3-II, Akt and rpS6 was evaluated by Western blotting (WB). Human cartilage explants were cultivated with 25 mM glucose and insulin (100,1000 nM) for 24 h to evaluate histopathology. MMP-13 and IL-1β expression was determined by immunohistochemistry and WB. Effects of Rapamycin (10 μM) were analyzed by WB. LC3 and rpS6 expression was determined by WB in chondrocytes from Healthy, Non Diabetic-OA and Diabetic-OA patients. RESULTS Insulin downregulates autophagy by reducing LC3 II expression and increasing Akt and rpS6 phosphorylation. Loss of proteoglycans and increased MMP-13 and IL-1β expression was observed after insulin treatment. Autophagy activation by rapamycin reversed insulin effects. Importantly, chondrocytes from diabetic-OA patients showed decreased LC3 and increased p-rpS6 expression compared to Healthy and Non-Diabetic OA patients. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that decreased autophagy might be a mechanism by which diabetes influences cartilage degradation. Pharmacological activation of autophagy may be an effective therapeutic approach to prevent T2D-induced cartilage damage.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative joint condition, is currently difficult to detect early enough for any of the current treatment options to be completely successful. Early diagnosis of this disease could increase the numbers of patients who are able to slow its progression. There are now several diseases where membrane protein biomarkers are used for early diagnosis. The numbers of proteins in the membrane is vast and so it is a rich source of potential biomarkers for OA but we need more knowledge of these before they can be considered practical biomarkers. How are they best measured and are they selective to OA or even certain types of OA? The first step in this process is to identify membrane proteins that change in OA. Here, we summarize several ion channels and receptors that change in OA models and/or OA patients, and may thus be considered candidates as novel membrane biomarkers of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous disorder with several risk factors. Among them, obesity has a major impact on both loading and non-loading joints. Mechanical overload and activity of systemic inflammatory mediators derived from adipose tissue (adipokines, free fatty acids (FFA), reactive oxygen species (ROS)) provide clues to the increased incidence and prevalence of OA in obesity. Recently, research found greater OA prevalence and incidence in obese patients with cardiometabolic disturbances than "healthy" obese patients, which led to the description of a new OA phenotype - metabolic syndrome (MetS)-associated OA. Indeed, individual metabolic factors (diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension) may increase the risk of obesity-induced OA. This review discusses hypotheses based on pathways specific to a metabolic factor in MetS-associated OA, such as the role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and glucose toxicity. A better understanding of these phenotypes based on risk factors will be critical for designing trials of this specific subset of OA.

Abstract
Reproducing the native collagen structure and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) distribution in tissue-engineered cartilage constructs is still a challenge. Articular cartilage has a specific nutrient supply and mechanical environment due to its location and function in the body. Efforts to simulate this native environment have been reported through the use of bioreactor systems. However, few of these devices take into account the existence of gradients over cartilage as a consequence of the nutrient supply by diffusion. We hypothesized that culturing chondrocytes in an environment, in which gradients of nutrients can be mimicked, would induce zonal differentiation. Indeed, we show that glucose gradients facilitating a concentration distribution as low as physiological glucose levels enhanced a zonal chondrogenic capacity similar to the one found in native cartilage. Furthermore, we found that the glucose consumption rates of cultured chondrocytes were higher under physiological glucose concentrations and that GAG production rates were highest in 5 mM glucose. From these findings, we concluded that this condition is better suited for matrix deposition compared to 20 mM glucose standard used in a chondrocyte culture system. Reconsidering the culture conditions in cartilage tissue engineering strategies can lead to cartilaginous constructs that have better mechanical and structural properties, thus holding the potential of further enhancing integration with the host tissue.
