Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:131948. [PMID: 38688338 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131948] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
The process of wound healing includes the inflammatory stage, which plays an important role. Macrophages can promote inflammatory response and also promote angiogenesis, wound contraction and tissue remodeling required for wound healing. It is crucial to promote macrophages to polarize from M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype to M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype at a critical time for the quality of wound healing. Because mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes have broad therapeutic prospects in the field of tissue repair and regeneration, in this study, we explored whether trichostatin A pretreated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived exosomes (T-Exo) could promote wound healing by binding to biomaterial scaffolds through certain anti-inflammatory effects. In the cell experiment, we established macrophage inflammation model and then treated with T-Exo, and finally detected the expression levels of macrophage polarization proteins CD206, CD86 and TNF-α, iNOS, and Arg-1 by Western Blot and immunofluorescence staining; detected the expression levels of inflammation-related genes TNF-α, iNOS, IL-1β, IL-10 and anti-inflammatory genes CD206 and Arg-1 by qRT-PCR; explored the promoting ability of T-Exo to promote cell migration and tube formation by cell scratch experiment and angiogenesis experiment. The results showed that T-Exo could promote the polarization of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages, and promote the migration and angiogenesis of HUVECs. Because TSA pretreatment may bring about changes in the content and function of BMSCs-derived exosomes, proteomic analysis was performed on T-Exo and unpretreated BMSCs-derived exosomes (Exo). The results showed that the differentially expressed proteins in T-Exo were related to some pathways that promote angiogenesis, cell migration, proliferation, and re-epithelialization. Then, exosome/collagen sponge (T-Exo/Col) biological scaffolds were prepared, and the physicochemical properties and biocompatibility of the scaffolds were investigated. Animal skin wound models were established, and the therapeutic effect and anti-inflammatory effect of T-Exo/Col in wound repair were evaluated by small animal in vivo imaging, H&E staining, Masson trichrome staining, immunohistochemical staining, Western Blot, and qRT-PCR. The results showed that T-Exo significantly promoted wound healing by inhibiting inflammation, thereby further promoting angiogenesis and collagen formation in vivo. Moreover, the existence of Col scaffold in T-Exo/Col enabled T-Exo to achieve a certain sustained release effect. Finally, we further explored whether TSA exerts beneficial effects by inhibiting HDAC6 gene of BMSCs, but the results showed that knockdown of HDAC6 gene would cause oxidative stress damage to BMSCs, which means that TSA does not produce these beneficial effects by inhibiting HDAC6 gene. What molecular mechanisms TSA exerts beneficial effects through needs to be further elucidated in the future.

A quick and innovative pipeline for producing chondrocyte-homing peptide-modified extracellular vesicles by three-dimensional dynamic culture of hADSCs spheroids to modulate the fate of remaining ear chondrocytes in the M1 macrophage-infiltrated microenvironment. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:300. [PMID: 38816719 PMCID: PMC11141023 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02567-5] [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: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) have shown great therapeutic potential in plastic and reconstructive surgery. However, the limited production and functional molecule loading of EVs hinder their clinical translation. Traditional two-dimensional culture of hADSCs results in stemness loss and cellular senescence, which is unfavorable for the production and functional molecule loading of EVs. Recent advances in regenerative medicine advocate for the use of three-dimensional culture of hADSCs to produce EVs, as it more accurately simulates their physiological state. Moreover, the successful application of EVs in tissue engineering relies on the targeted delivery of EVs to cells within biomaterial scaffolds. METHODS AND RESULTS The hADSCs spheroids and hADSCs gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) microspheres are utilized to produce three-dimensional cultured EVs, corresponding to hADSCs spheroids-EVs and hADSCs microspheres-EVs respectively. hADSCs spheroids-EVs demonstrate excellent production and functional molecule loading compared with hADSCs microspheres-EVs. The upregulation of eight miRNAs (i.e. hsa-miR-486-5p, hsa-miR-423-5p, hsa-miR-92a-3p, hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-miR-223-3p, hsa-miR-320a, hsa-miR-126-3p, and hsa-miR-25-3p) and the downregulation of hsa-miR-146b-5p within hADSCs spheroids-EVs show the potential of improving the fate of remaining ear chondrocytes and promoting cartilage formation probably through integrated regulatory mechanisms. Additionally, a quick and innovative pipeline is developed for isolating chondrocyte homing peptide-modified EVs (CHP-EVs) from three-dimensional dynamic cultures of hADSCs spheroids. CHP-EVs are produced by genetically fusing a CHP at the N-terminus of the exosomal surface protein LAMP2B. The CHP + LAMP2B-transfected hADSCs spheroids were cultured with wave motion to promote the secretion of CHP-EVs. A harvesting method is used to enable the time-dependent collection of CHP-EVs. The pipeline is easy to set up and quick to use for the isolation of CHP-EVs. Compared with nontagged EVs, CHP-EVs penetrate the biomaterial scaffolds and specifically deliver the therapeutic miRNAs to the remaining ear chondrocytes. Functionally, CHP-EVs show a major effect on promoting cell proliferation, reducing cell apoptosis and enhancing cartilage formation in remaining ear chondrocytes in the M1 macrophage-infiltrated microenvironment. CONCLUSIONS In summary, an innovative pipeline is developed to obtain CHP-EVs from three-dimensional dynamic culture of hADSCs spheroids. This pipeline can be customized to increase EVs production and functional molecule loading, which meets the requirements for regulating remaining ear chondrocyte fate in the M1 macrophage-infiltrated microenvironment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by synovitis and joint cartilage destruction. The severity of OA is highly associated with the imbalance between M1 and M2 synovial macrophages. In this study, a novel strategy is designed to modulate macrophage polarization by reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and regulating mitochondrial function. A ROS-responsive polymer is synthesized to self-assemble with astaxanthin and autophagy activator rapamycin to form nanoparticles (NP@PolyRHAPM ). In vitro experiments show that NP@PolyRHAPM significantly reduced intracellular ROS levels. Furthermore, NP@PolyRHAPM restored mitochondrial membrane potential, increased glutathione (GSH) levels, and promoted intracellular autophagy, hence successfully repolarizing M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype. This repolarization enhanced chondrocyte proliferation and vitality while inhibiting apoptosis. In vivo experiments utilizing an anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA mouse model revealed the anti-inflammatory and cartilage-protective effects of NP@PolyRHAPM , effectively mitigating OA progression. Consequently, the findings suggest that intra-articular delivery of ROS-responsive nanocarrier systems holds significant promise as a potential and effective therapeutic strategy for OA treatment.

Abstract
Macrophages are heterogenic phagocytic cells that play distinct roles in physiological and pathological processes. Targeting different types of macrophages has shown potent therapeutic effects in many diseases. Although many approaches are developed to target anti-inflammatory macrophages, there are few researches on targeting pro-inflammatory macrophages, which is partially attributed to their non-s pecificity phagocytosis of extracellular substances. In this study, a novel recombinant protein is constructed that can be anchored on an exosome membrane with the purpose of targeting pro-inflammatory macrophages via antigen recognition, which is named AnCar-ExoLaIMTS . The data indicate that the phagocytosis efficiencies of pro-inflammatory macrophages for different AnCar-ExoLaIMTS show obvious differences. The AnCar-ExoLaIMTS3 has the best targeting ability for pro-inflammatory macrophages in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, AnCar-ExoLaIMTS3 can specifically recognize the leucine-rich repeat domain of the TLR4 receptor, and then enter into pro-inflammatory macrophages via the TLR4-mediated receptor endocytosis pathway. Moreover, AnCar-ExoLaIMTS3 can efficiently deliver therapeutic cargo to pro-inflammatory macrophages and inhibit the synovial inflammatory response via downregulation of HIF-1α level, thus ameliorating the severity of arthritis in vivo. Collectively, the work established a novel gene/drug delivery system that can specifically target pro-inflammatory macrophages, which may be beneficial for the treatments of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) stands as a degenerative ailment with a substantial and escalating prevalence. The practice of traditional Chinese non-pharmacological therapy has become a prevalent complementary and adjunctive approach. A mounting body of evidence suggests its efficacy in addressing KOA. Recent investigations have delved into its underlying mechanism, yielding some headway. Consequently, this comprehensive analysis seeks to encapsulate the clinical application and molecular mechanism of traditional Chinese non-pharmacological therapy in KOA treatment. The review reveals that various therapies, such as acupuncture, electroacupuncture, warm needle acupuncture, tuina, and acupotomy, primarily target localized knee components like cartilage, subchondral bone, and synovium. Moreover, their impact extends to the central nervous system and intestinal flora. More perfect experimental design and more comprehensive research remain a promising avenue in the future.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), the commonest arthritis, is characterized by the progressive destruction of cartilage, leading to disability. The Current early clinical treatment strategy for OA often centers on anti-inflammatory or analgesia medication, weight loss, improved muscular function and articular cartilage repair. Although these treatments can relieve symptoms, OA tends to be progressive, and most patients require arthroplasty at the terminal stages of OA. Recent studies have shown a close correlation between joint pain, inflammation, cartilage destruction and synovial cells. Consequently, understanding the potential mechanisms associated with the action of synovial cells in OA could be beneficial for the clinical management of OA. Therefore, this review comprehensively describes the biological functions of synovial cells, the synovium, together with the pathological changes of synovial cells in OA, and the interaction between the cartilage and synovium, which is lacking in the present literature. Additionally, therapeutic approaches based on synovial cells for OA treatment are further discussed from a clinical perspective, highlighting a new direction in the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Objective We previously reported how treadmill exercise can suppress cartilage degeneration. Here, we examined the changes in macrophage dynamics in knee osteoarthritis (OA) during treadmill exercise and the effect of macrophage depletion. Design OA mouse model, generated via anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT), was subjected to treadmill exercise of different intensities to investigate the effects on cartilage and synovium. In addition, clodronate liposomes, which deplete macrophages, were injected intra-articularly into the joint to examine the role of macrophages during treadmill exercise. Results Cartilage degeneration was delayed by mild exercise, and concomitantly, an increase in anti-inflammatory factors in the synovium was observed, with a decrease in the M1 and increase in M2 macrophage ratio. On the contrary, high-intensity exercise led to the progress of cartilage degeneration and was associated with an increase in the M1 and a decrease in the M2 macrophage ratio. The clodronate liposome-induced reduction of synovial macrophages delayed cartilage degeneration. This phenotype was reversed by simultaneous treadmill exercise. Conclusions Treadmill exercise, especially at high intensity, was detrimental to articular cartilage, whereas mild exercise reduced cartilage degeneration. Moreover, M2 macrophage response appeared necessary for the chondroprotective effect of treadmill exercise. This study indicates the importance of a more comprehensive analysis of the effects of treadmill exercise, not limited to the mechanical stress added directly to cartilage. Hence, our findings might help determine the type and intensity of prescribed exercise therapy for patients with knee OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA)-the most prevalent of arthritis diseases-is a complicated pathogenesis caused by cartilage degeneration and synovial inflammation. Suramin has been reported to enhance chondrogenic differentiation. However, the therapeutic effect of suramin on OA-induced cartilage destruction has remained unclear. Suramin is an anti-parasitic drug that has potent anti-purinergic properties. This study investigated the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of suramin on articular cartilage degradation using an in vitro study and mice model with post-traumatic OA. We found that suramin markedly suppressed the IL-1β increased expression of matrix destruction proteases-such as ADAMT4, ADAMTS5, MMP3, MMP13, and inflammatory mediators-including the iNOS, COX2, TNFα, and IL-1β; while greatly enhancing the synthesis of cartilage anabolic factors-such as COL2A1, Aggrecan and SOX9 in IL-1β-induced porcine chondrocytes. In vivo experiments showed that intra-articular injection of suramin ameliorated cartilage degeneration and inhibited synovial inflammation in an anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA mouse model. In mechanistic studies, we found that exogenous supplementation of suramin can activate Nrf2, and accordingly inhibit the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF- κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, thereby alleviating the inflammation and ECM degeneration of chondrocytes stimulated by IL-1β. In addition, suramin also repolarized M1 macrophages to the M2 phenotype, further reducing the apoptosis of chondrocytes. Collectively, the results of the study suggests that suramin is a potential drugs which could serve as a facilitating drug for the application of OA therapy toward clinical treatment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint condition that is a leading cause of disability worldwide. There are currently no disease-modifying treatments for osteoarthritis, which is associated with multiple kinds of inflammatory cytokines produced by M1 macrophages in the synovium of the joint. Despite recent therapeutic advancements with anti-cytokine biologics, the OA therapy response rate continues to be inadequate. To treat OA, the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses of synoviocytes and macrophages must be controlled simultaneously. Therefore, the immune regulation capabilities of an ideal nano-drug should not only minimize pro-inflammatory responses but also effectively boost anti-inflammatory responses. In this paper, an M2H@RPK nanotherapeutic system was developed, KAFAK and shRNA-LEPR were condensed with polyethylenimine (PEI) to form a complex, which was then modified with hyaluronic acid (HA) to negatively charge to cover the M2 membrane. It was discovered that the repolarization of macrophages from the M1 to the M2 phenotype lowered pro-inflammatory responses while enhancing anti-inflammatory responses in macrophages and synoviocytes. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that M2H@RPK dramatically decreases proinflammatory cytokines, controls synovial inflammation, and provides significant therapeutic efficacy by reducing joint damage. Overall, it has been demonstrated that M2H@RPK provides inflammation-targeted therapy by macrophage repolarization, and it represents a promising OA therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disease characterized by inflammation and cartilage destruction, and its progression is closely related to imbalances in the M1/M2 synovial macrophages. A two-pronged strategy for the regulation of intracellular/extracellular nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen protons for reprogramming M1/M2 synovial macrophages is proposed. The combination of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) siRNA and NO scavenger in "two-in-one" nanocarriers (NAHA-CaP/siRNA nanoparticles) is developed for progressive OA therapy by scavenging NO and inhibiting CA9 expression in synovial macrophages. In vitro experiments demonstrate that these NPs can significantly scavenge intracellular NO similar to the levels as those in the normal group and downregulate the expression levels of CA9 mRNA (≈90%), thereby repolarizing the M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype and increasing the expression levels of pro-chondrogenic TGF-β1 mRNA (≈1.3-fold), and inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis. Furthermore, in vivo experiments show that the NPs have great anti-inflammation, cartilage protection and repair effects, thereby effectively alleviating OA progression in both monoiodoacetic acid-induced early and late OA mouse models and a surgical destabilization of medial meniscus-induced OA rat model. Therefore, the siCA9 and NO scavenger "two-in-one" delivery system is a potential and efficient strategy for progressive OA treatment.

Abstract
Objective: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), is the most common joint disease worldwide. The pathogenesis of KOA is complex and electroacupuncture (EA) is an effective therapy for KOA, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aim to investigate the potential therapeutic effect of EA on the rat model of KOA induced by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) and its relationship with NLRP3 inflammasome by immunohistochemistry and western blot. Methods: KOA was induced by intra-articular injection of MIA (3 mg/50 μL) into the right knee joint of rats. Forty-five male rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, KOA group, and KOA + electroacupuncture group (KOA+EA). EA treatment lasted for 2 weeks (6 times a week). Paw withdrawal threshold tests were used to assess mechanical allodynia once a week. Safranin O/Fast Green and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were used to assess the damage to cartilage, synovium, and subpatellar fat pad (IFP). Immunohistochemistry was used to observe NLRP3 inflammasome-associated protein-positive cells in the same field of view and western blot was used to detect the expression of the associated protein in cartilage tissue. Results: The KOA group showed mechanical hyperalgesia, joint inflammation, and significant cartilage tissue destruction. Safranin O/Fast Green and H&E staining revealed that EA alleviated the joint pathological changes caused by KOA and had a protective effect on cartilage, synovium, and IFP destruction. Mechanical allodynia pain and joint swelling were reduced in KOA rats after EA treatment. Immunohistochemistry and western blot showed significant inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome-associated protein. Conclusion: The results indicate that EA can inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome and reduce pyroptosis, which results in the protection of cartilage tissue and the treatment of KOA. It provides reliable evidence for the development of EA in the treatment of KOA and the clinical application of acupuncture.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to predict by bioinformatics the activity of the extracellular vesicle (EV)-embedded micro RNA (miRNAs) secreted by cartilage cells (CCs), adipose tissue-derived- (ASCs), and bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) and verify their immunomodulatory potential supporting our bioinformatics findings to optimize the autologous cell-based therapeutic strategies for osteoarthritis (OA) management. Cells were isolated from surgical waste tissues of three patients who underwent total hip replacement, expanded and the EVs were collected. The expression of EV-embedded miRNA was evaluated with the QuantStudio 12 K Flex OpenArray® platform. Mientournet and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) were used for validated target prediction analysis and to identify miRNAs involved in OA and inflammation. Cells shared the expression of 325 miRNAs embedded in EVs and differed for the expression of a small number of them. Mienturnet revealed no results for miRNAs selectively expressed by ASCs, whereas miRNA expressed by CCs and BMSCs were putatively involved in the modulation of cell cycle, senescence, apoptosis, Wingless and Int-1 (Wnt), transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Notch, Hippo, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), RUNX family transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and endochondral ossification pathways. Cartilage homeostasis, macrophages and T cells activity and inflammatory mediators were identified by IPA as targets of the miRNAs found in all the cell populations. Co-culture tests on macrophages and T cells confirmed the immuno-modulatory ability of CCs, ASCs, and BMSCs. The study findings support the rationale behind the use of cell-based therapy for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Macrophages are the most abundant immune cells within the synovial joints, and also the main innate immune effector cells triggering the initial inflammatory responses in the pathological process of osteoarthritis (OA). The transition of synovial macrophages between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory phenotypes can play a key role in building the intra-articular microenvironment. The pro-inflammatory cascade induced by TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 is closely related to M1 macrophages, resulting in the production of pro-chondrolytic mediators. However, IL-10, IL1RA, CCL-18, IGF, and TGF are closely related to M2 macrophages, leading to the protection of cartilage and the promoted regeneration. The inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway is central in OA treatment via controlling inflammatory responses in macrophages, while the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway appears not to attract widespread attention in the field. Nrf2 is a transcription factor encoding a large number of antioxidant enzymes. The activation of Nrf2 can have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can also have complex crosstalk with NF-κB signaling pathway. The activation of Nrf2 can inhibit the M1 polarization and promote the M2 polarization through potential signaling transductions including TGF-β/SMAD, TLR/NF-κB, and JAK/STAT signaling pathways, with the regulation or cooperation of Notch, NLRP3, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK signaling. And the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the negative regulation of Nrf2 for NF-κB can be the main mechanisms for promotion. Furthermore, the candidates of OA treatment by activating Nrf2 to promote M2 phenotype macrophages in OA are also reviewed in this work, such as itaconate and fumarate derivatives, curcumin, quercetin, melatonin, mesenchymal stem cells, and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound.

Abstract
Nanozymes are widely applied for treating various major diseases, including neurological diseases and tumors. However, the biodegradability of nanozymes remains a great challenge, which hinders their further clinical translation. Based on the microenvironment of osteoarthritis (OA), a representative pH-responsive biodegradable hollow-structured manganese Prussian blue nanozyme (HMPBzyme) is designed and applied for treatment of OA. HMPBzyme with good pH-responsive biodegradability, biocompatibility, and multi-enzyme activities is constructed by bovine serum albumin bubbles as a template-mediated biomineralization strategy. HMPBzyme suppresses hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression and decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in the in vitro experiment. Furthermore, HMPBzyme markedly suppresses the expression of ROS and alleviates the degeneration of cartilage in OA rat models. The results indicate that the biodegradable HMPBzyme inhibits oxidative damage and relieves hypoxia synergistically to suppress inflammation and promote the anabolism of cartilage extracellular matrix by protecting mitochondrial function and down-regulating the expression of HIF-1α, which modulates the phenotypic conversion of macrophages from pro-inflammatory M1 subtype to anti-inflammatory M2 subtype for OA treatment. This research lays a solid foundation for the design, construction, and biomedical application of biodegradable nanozymes and promotes the application of nanozymes in biomedicine.

Pentraxin 3 regulated by miR-224-5p modulates macrophage reprogramming and exacerbates osteoarthritis associated synovitis by targeting CD32. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:567.

Abstract
Emerging evidence has shown an imbalance in M1/M2 macrophage polarization to play an essential role in osteoarthritis (OA) progression. However, the underlying mechanistic basis for this polarization is unknown. RNA sequencing of OA M1-polarized macrophages found highly expressed levels of pentraxin 3 (PTX3), suggesting a role for PTX3 in OA occurrence and development. Herein, PTX3 was found to be increased in the synovium and articular cartilage of OA patients and OA mice. Intra-articular injection of PTX3 aggravated, while PTX3 neutralization reversed synovitis and cartilage degeneration. No metabolic disorder or proteoglycan loss were observed in cartilage explants when treated with PTX3 alone. However, cartilage explants exhibited an OA phenotype when treated with culture supernatants of macrophages stimulated with PTX3, suggesting that PTX3 did not have a direct effect on chondrocytes. Therefore, the OA anti-chondrogenic effects of PTX3 are primarily mediated through macrophages. Mechanistically, PTX3 was upregulated by miR-224-5p deficiency, which activated the p65/NF-κB pathway to promote M1 macrophage polarization by targeting CD32. CD32 was expressed by macrophages, that when stimulated with PTX3, secreted abundant pro-inflammation cytokines that induced severe articular cartilage damage. The paracrine interaction between macrophages and chondrocytes produced a feedback loop that enhanced synovitis and cartilage damage. The findings of this study identified a functional pathway important to OA development. Blockade of this pathway and PTX3 may prevent and treat OA.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is maintained with the balance between bone formation and bone resorption, which is involved in the functional performance of osteoblast and osteoclast. Disruption of this equilibrium usually causes bone disorders including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and osteosclerosis. In addition, aberrant activity of bone also contributes to the bone metastasis that frequently occurs in the late stage of aggressive cancers. Orphan nuclear receptor estrogen-related receptor (ERRα) has been demonstrated to control the bone cell fate and the progression of tumor cells in bone through crosstalk with various molecules and signaling pathways. However, the defined function of this receptor in bone is inconsistent and controversial. Therefore, we summarized the latest research and conducted an overview to reveal the regulatory effect of ERRα on bone homeostasis and bone metastasis, this review may broaden the present understanding of the cellular and molecular model of ERRα and highlight its potential implication in clinical therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In osteoarthritis, chondrocytes tend to acquire a hypertrophic phenotype, which contributes to the modification of the extracellular matrix, resulting in permanent cartilage changes. In mouse chondrocytes, pro-inflammatory macrophages and pro-inflammatory cytokines have been shown to stimulate hypertrophy via the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. Whether or not this also occurs in human chondrocytes remains unclear. We therefore aimed to investigate whether hypertrophy-like responses in human cartilage are driven mainly by intrinsic inflammatory signaling or shaped by specific macrophage populations. DESIGN Human articular chondrocytes were cultured with pro-inflammatory cytokines or medium conditioned by defined macrophage subsets. Furthermore, the effect of inhibition of NF-κB-dependent gene expression was evaluated using the NF-κB inhibitor SC-514. Hypertrophy was assessed by measuring the transcription level of alkaline phosphatase (ALPL), type X collagen (COL10A1), Indian hedgehog (IHH), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). RESULTS The expression of hypertrophic genes was not promoted in human chondrocytes by pro-inflammatory cytokines neither pro-inflammatory M(IFNγ + TNFα) macrophages. Inhibition of the NF-κB-dependent gene expression did not affect human articular chondrocyte hypertrophy. However, tissue repair M(IL4) macrophages induced hypertrophy by promoting the expression of COL10A1, RUNX2, and IHH. CONCLUSION Intrinsic inflammatory signaling activation is not involved in the hypertrophic shift observed in human articular chondrocytes cultured in vitro. However, tissue repair macrophages may contribute to the onset of this detrimental phenotype in human osteoarthritic cartilage, given the effect observed in our experimental models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic arthropathy that frequently occurs in the middle-aged and elderly population. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanism of OA based on autophagy theory. DESIGN We downloaded the gene expression profile from the Gene Expression Omnibus repository. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to the keyword "autophagy" were identified using the scanGEO online analysis tool. DEGs representing the same expression trend were screened using the MATCH function. Clinical synovial specimens were collected for identification, pathological diagnosis, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. Differential expression of mRNAs in the synovial membrane tissues and chondrocyte monolayer samples from OA patients was used to identify potential OA biomarkers. Protein-protein interactions were established by the STRING website and visualized with Cytoscape. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed using the Metascape database. RESULTS GABARAPL1, GABARAPL2, and ATG13 were obtained as co-expressed autogenes in the 3 data sets. They were all downregulated among OA synovial tissues compared with non-OA synovial tissues (P < 0.01). A protein-protein interaction network was constructed based on these 3 genes and included 63 genes. A functional analysis revealed that these genes were associated with autophagy-related functions. The top hub genes in the protein-protein interaction network were presented. Furthermore, 3 key modules were extracted to be core control modules. CONCLUSIONS These results offer an important molecular understanding of the key transcriptional regulatory genes and modules based on the network of potential autophagy mechanisms in human OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous findings suggest that silent information regulator 2 ortholog 1 (SIRT1) plays essential roles in chondrocytes and prevents osteoarthritis (OA) development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of intraperitoneal (i.p.) and intra-articular (i.a.) administration of the SIRT1 activator SRT2104, which has been approved for use in humans. DESIGN OA was induced by destabilizing the medial meniscus in the knee joint of 12-week-old CL57BL/6J mice. The mice were divided into 3 groups, that is, the control group, SRT2104 i.p.-injection group, and SRT2104 i.a.-injection group. Tissues were harvested at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks postsurgery. OA progression was evaluated using the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) score. The production of OA-related proteins in cartilage and synovium was examined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS OARSI scores in the control group were significantly higher at 8 and 12 weeks compared with other 2 groups. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that Sirt1 and type-2 collagen significantly increased, whereas MMP-13, ADAMTS-5, IL-1β, IL-6, cleaved caspase 3, PARP p85, acetylated NF-κB p65, and iNOS decreased significantly in cartilage tissues from the i.p. and i.a, SRT2104 groups. In the synovium, more iNOS-positive M1-like macrophages were observed in the control group than in the i.p. and i.a, SRT2104 groups, whereas more CD206-positive M2-like macrophages were detected in the i.p. and i.a. SRT2104 groups. CONCLUSIONS Both i.p. and i.a. SRT2104 injection reduced OA progression in the mouse OA model, suggesting that SRT2104 can serve as a new treatment for OA.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that exhibits significant clinical heterogeneity. There are various treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, including disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), glucocorticoids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and inflammatory cytokine inhibitors (ICI), typically associated with differentiated clinical effects and characteristics. Personalized responsiveness is observed to the standard treatment due to the pathophysiological heterogeneity in rheumatoid arthritis, resulting in an overall poor prognosis. Understanding the role of individual variation in cellular and molecular mechanisms related to rheumatoid arthritis will considerably improve clinical care and patient outcomes. In this review, we discuss the source of pathophysiological heterogeneity derived from genetic, molecular, and cellular heterogeneity and their possible impact on precision medicine and personalized treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. We provide emphasized description of the heterogeneity derived from mast cells, monocyte cell, macrophage fibroblast-like synoviocytes and, interactions within immune cells and with inflammatory cytokines, as well as the potential as a new therapeutic target to develop a novel treatment approach. Finally, we summarize the latest clinical trials of treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis and provide a suggestive framework for implementing preclinical and clinical experimental results into clinical practice.

Abstract
The synovium of osteoarthritis (OA) patients can be characterized by an abnormal accumulation of macrophages originating from extravasated monocytes. Since targeting monocyte extravasation may represent a promising therapeutic strategy, our aim was to develop an organotypic microfluidic model recapitulating this process. Synovium and cartilage were modeled by hydrogel-embedded OA synovial fibroblasts and articular chondrocytes separated by a synovial fluid channel. The synovium compartment included a perfusable endothelialized channel dedicated to monocyte injection. Monocyte extravasation in response to chemokines and OA synovial fluid was quantified. The efficacy of chemokine receptor antagonists, RS-504393 (CCR2 antagonist) and Cenicriviroc (CCR2/CCR5 antagonist) in inhibiting extravasation was tested pre-incubating monocytes with the antagonists before injection. After designing and fabricating the chip, culture conditions were optimized to achieve an organotypic model including synovial fibroblasts, articular chondrocytes, and a continuous endothelial monolayer expressing intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. A significantly higher number of monocytes extravasated in response to the chemokine mix (p< 0.01) and OA synovial fluid (p< 0.01), compared to a control condition. In both cases, endothelium pre-activation enhanced monocyte extravasation. The simultaneous blocking of CCR2 and CCR5 proved to be more effective (p< 0.001) in inhibiting monocyte extravasation in response to OA synovial fluid than blocking of CCR2 only (p< 0.01). The study of extravasation in the model provided direct evidence that OA synovial fluid induces monocytes to cross the endothelium and invade the synovial compartment. The model can be exploited either to test molecules antagonizing this process or to investigate the effect of extravasated monocytes on synovium and cartilage cells.

Abstract
Synovial macrophage polarization and inflammation are essential for osteoarthritis (OA) development, yet the molecular mechanisms and regulation responsible for the pathogenesis are still poorly understood. Here, we report that pseudolaric acid B (PAB) attenuated articular cartilage degeneration and synovitis during OA. PAB, a diterpene acid, specifically inhibited NF-κB signalling and reduced the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which further decreased M1 polarization and vessel formation. We further provide in vivo and in vitro evidences that PAB suppressed NF-κB signalling by stabilizing PPARγ. Using PPARγ antagonist could abolish anti-inflammatory effect of PAB and rescue the activation of NF-κB signalling during OA. Our findings identify a previously unrecognized role of PAB in the regulation of OA and provide mechanisms by which PAB regulates NF-κB signalling through PPARγ, which further suggest targeting synovial inflammation or inhibiting vessel formation at early stage could be an effective preventive strategy for OA.

Abstract
Background To investigate the role and regulatory mechanisms of fargesin, one of the main components of Magnolia fargesii, in macrophage reprogramming and crosstalk across cartilage and synovium during osteoarthritis (OA) development. Methods Ten-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomized and assigned to vehicle, collagenase-induced OA (CIOA), or CIOA with intra-articular fargesin treatment groups. Articular cartilage degeneration was evaluated using the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) score. Immunostaining and western blot analyses were conducted to detect relative protein. Raw264.7 cells were treated with LPS or IL-4 to investigate the role of polarized macrophages. ADTC5 cells were treated with IL-1β and conditioned medium was collected to investigate the crosstalk between chondrocytes and macrophages. Results Fargesin attenuated articular cartilage degeneration and synovitis, resulting in substantially lower Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) and synovitis scores. In particular, significantly increased M2 polarization and decreased M1 polarization in synovial macrophages were found in fargesin-treated CIOA mice compared to controls. This was accompanied by downregulation of IL-6 and IL-1β and upregulation of IL-10 in serum. Conditioned medium (CM) from M1 macrophages treated with fargesin reduced the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13, RUNX2, and type X collagen and increased Col2a1 and SOX9 in OA chondrocytes, but fargesin alone did not affect chondrocyte catabolic processes. Moreover, fargesin exerted protective effects by suppressing p38/ERK MAPK and p65/NF-κB signaling. Conclusions This study showed that fargesin switched the polarized phenotypes of macrophages from M1 to M2 subtypes and prevented cartilage degeneration partially by downregulating p38/ERK MAPK and p65/NF-κB signaling. Targeting macrophage reprogramming or blocking the crosstalk between macrophages and chondrocytes in early OA may be an effective preventive strategy.

Abstract
Biomaterials play a core role in cartilage repair and regeneration. The success or failure of an implanted biomaterial is largely dependent on host response following implantation. Host response has been considered to be influenced by numerous factors, such as immune components of materials, cytokines and inflammatory agents induced by implants. Both synthetic and native materials involve immune components, which are also termed as immunogenicity. Generally, the innate and adaptive immune system will be activated and various cytokines and inflammatory agents will be consequently released after biomaterials implantation, and further triggers host response to biomaterials. This will guide the constructive remolding process of damaged tissue. Therefore, biomaterial immunogenicity should be given more attention. Further understanding the specific biological mechanisms of host response to biomaterials and the effects of the host-biomaterial interaction may be beneficial to promote cartilage repair and regeneration. In this review, we summarized the characteristics of the host response to implants and the immunomodulatory properties of varied biomaterial. We hope this review will provide scientists with inspiration in cartilage regeneration by controlling immune components of biomaterials and modulating the immune system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The vast majority of trait-associated variants identified using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are noncoding, and therefore assumed to impact gene regulation. However, the majority of trait-associated loci are unexplained by regulatory quantitative trait loci (QTLs). RESULTS We perform a comprehensive characterization of the putative mechanisms by which GWAS loci impact human immune traits. By harmonizing four major immune QTL studies, we identify 26,271 expression QTLs (eQTLs) and 23,121 splicing QTLs (sQTLs) spanning 18 immune cell types. Our colocalization analyses between QTLs and trait-associated loci from 72 GWAS reveals that genetic effects on RNA expression and splicing in immune cells colocalize with 40.4% of GWAS loci for immune-related traits, in many cases increasing the fraction of colocalized loci by two fold compared to previous studies. Notably, we find that the largest contributors of this increase are splicing QTLs, which colocalize on average with 14% of all GWAS loci that do not colocalize with eQTLs. By contrast, we find that cell type-specific eQTLs, and eQTLs with small effect sizes contribute very few new colocalizations. To investigate the 60% of GWAS loci that remain unexplained, we collect H3K27ac CUT&Tag data from rheumatoid arthritis and healthy controls, and find large-scale differences between immune cells from the different disease contexts, including at regions overlapping unexplained GWAS loci. CONCLUSION Altogether, our work supports RNA splicing as an important mediator of genetic effects on immune traits, and suggests that we must expand our study of regulatory processes in disease contexts to improve functional interpretation of as yet unexplained GWAS loci.

Treadmill Exercise after Controlled Abnormal Joint Movement Inhibits Cartilage Degeneration and Synovitis. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11040303. [PMID: 33915911 PMCID: PMC8066168 DOI: 10.3390/life11040303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Cartilage degeneration is the main pathological component of knee osteoarthritis (OA), but no effective treatment for its control exists. Although exercise can inhibit OA, the abnormal joint movement with knee OA must be managed to perform exercise. Our aims were to determine how controlling abnormal joint movement and treadmill exercise can suppress cartilage degeneration, to analyze the tissues surrounding articular cartilage, and to clarify the effect of treatment. Twelve-week-old ICR mice (n = 24) underwent anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACL-T) surgery on their right knees and were divided into three groups as follows: ACL-T, animals in the walking group subjected to ACL-T; controlled abnormal joint movement (CAJM), and CAJM with exercise (CAJM + Ex) (n = 8/group). Walking-group animals were subjected to treadmill exercise 6 weeks after surgery, including walking for 18 m/min, 30 min/day, 3 days/week for 8 weeks. Safranin-O staining, hematoxylin-eosin staining, and immunohistochemical staining were performed. The OARSI (Osteoarthritis research Society international) score was lower in the CAJM group than in the ACL-T group and was even lower in the CAJM + Ex group. The CAJM group had a lower meniscal injury score than the ACL-T group, and the CAJM + Ex group demonstrated a less severe synovitis than the ACL-T and CAJM groups. The observed difference in the perichondrium tissue damage score depending on the intervention method suggests different therapeutic effects, that normalizing joint motion can solve local problems in the knee joint, and that the anti-inflammatory effect of treadmill exercise can suppress cartilage degeneration.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disease that can lead to restricted activity or even disability. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can repair cartilage damage and treat osteoarthritis via cell therapies or in-tissue engineering. Research has shown that the paracrine mechanism is the main mode of action of mesenchymal stem cells. Exosomes are the smallest known membrane-bound nanovesicles. Exosomes are also important carriers of paracrine delivery agents and promote communication between cells. We demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes can delay the progression of osteoarthritis. Exosomes alleviate cartilage damage, reduce osteophyte formation and synovial macrophage infiltration, inhibit M1 macrophage production and promote M2 macrophage generation. In synovial fluid, the expression levels of the proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were decreased and the release of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10 was increased. In vitro, macrophages treated with exosomes maintain chondrocytes’ chondrogenic characteristics and inhibit hypertrophy. Our results demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes may relieve osteoarthritis by promoting the phenotypic transformation of synovial macrophages from M1 to M2.

Abstract
Simple Summary In vitro models able to represent osteoarthritis (OA) synovial tissue (ST) inflammation are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to characterize OA ST and to compare mechanical and enzymatic digestion procedures to find the one that better preserve the heterogeneity of the main OA synovial cell populations: fibroblasts and macrophages. We demonstrated that typical macrophage phenotypical markers, like CD68, CD80 and CD163, were higher expressed on cells isolated with mechanical than enzymatic procedure. Moreover, we found that typical cytokines of inflammatory macrophages (i.e., TNFα) and anti-inflammatory macrophages (i.e., IL10) were also higher on mechanically isolated cells. Synovial fibroblasts were well conserved in both procedures. The definition of an OA ST model in vitro that better preserve the heterogeneity of specific cell populations represents a prerequisite for defining the real effects of new cell therapies or drugs for OA treatment, and could contribute to the reduction or avoidance of animal models. Abstract There is a lack ofin vitromodels able to properly represent osteoarthritis (OA) synovial tissue (ST). We aimed to characterize OA ST and to investigate whether a mechanical or enzymatic digestion procedures influence synovial cell functional heterogeneity in vitro. Procedures using mechanical nondigested fragments (NDF), synovial digested fragments (SDF), and filtrated synovial digested cells (SDC) were compared. An immunophenotypic profile was performed to distinguish synovial fibroblasts (CD55, CD73, CD90, CD106), macrophages (CD14, CD68), M1-like (CD80, CD86), and M2-like (CD163, CD206) synovial macrophages. Pro-inflammatory (interleukin 6 IL6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), chemokine C-C motif ligand 3 (CCL3/MIP1α), C-X- motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10/IP10) and anti-inflammatory (interleukin 10 (IL10)), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1), C-C motif chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) cytokines were evaluated. CD68 and CD163 markers were higher in NDF and SDF compared to the SDC procedure, while CD80, CD86, and CD206 were higher only in NDF compared to the SDC procedure. Synovial fibroblast markers showed similar percentages. TNFα, CCL3/MIP1α, CXCL10/IP10, and CCL18 were higher in NDF compared to SDC, but not compared to SDF. IL10 and TGFβ1 were higher in NDF than SDC at the molecular level, while IL6 did not show differences among procedures. We demonstrated that NDF isolation procedures better preserved the heterogeneity of specific OA synovial populations (fibroblasts, macrophages), fostering their use for testing new cell therapies or drugs for OA, reducing or avoiding the use of animal models.

Abstract
OA is now well accepted as a low-grade inflammatory disease affecting the whole joint. In addition to mechanical loading, inflammation (particularly synovitis), contributes significantly to OA. Synovial macrophages act as immune cells and are of critical importance in the symptomology and structural progression of OA. Activated macrophages are regulated by mTOR, NF-κB, JNK, PI3K/Akt and other signaling pathways, and are polarized into either M1 or M2 subtypes in OA synovial tissues, synovial fluid, and peripheral blood. The activation state and the M1/M2 ratio is highly associated with OA severity. Aside from autocrine interactions, paracrine interactions between macrophages and chondrocytes play a vital role in the initiation and development of OA by secreting inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), which lead to subsequent cartilage degradation and destruction. Treatments targeting synovial macrophages relieve pain, and protect from synovitis, cartilage damage, and osteophyte formation during OA development. Macrophage reprogramming of transformation from the M1 to M2 subtype, more than a decrease in the quantity of activated macrophages, appears to be an effective treatment option for OA. This review provides a broad understanding of the contributions of polarized macrophages to joint health and disease. Multifunctional agents with immunomodulatory effects on macrophage reprogramming can skew the inflammatory microenvironment towards a pro-chondrogenic atmosphere, and are thus, potential therapeutic options for the treatment of OA and other immune diseases.

Activation of innate immunity by 14-3-3 ε, a new potential alarmin in osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2020; 28:646-657. [PMID: 32173627 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2020.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Revised: 02/24/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The innate immune system plays a central role in osteoarthritis (OA). We identified 14-3-3ε as a novel mediator that guides chondrocytes toward an inflammatory phenotype. 14-3-3ε shares common characteristics with alarmins. These endogenous molecules, released into extracellular media, are increasingly incriminated in sustaining OA inflammation. Alarmins bind mainly to toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR4 receptors and polarize macrophages in the synovium. We investigated the effects of 14-3-3ε in joint cells and tissues and its interactions with TLRs to define it as a new alarmin involved in OA. DESIGN Chondrocyte, synoviocyte and macrophage cultures from murine or OA human samples were treated with 14-3-3ε. To inhibit TLR2/4 in chondrocytes, blocking antibodies were used. Moreover, chondrocytes and bone marrow macrophage (BMM) cultures from knockout (KO) TLRs mice were stimulated with 14-3-3ε. Gene expression and release of inflammatory mediators [interleukin 6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)] were evaluated via reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and ELISA. RESULTS In vitro, 14-3-3ε induced gene expression and release of IL6 and MCP1 in the treated cells. The inflammatory effects of 14-3-3ε were significantly reduced following TLRs inhibition or in TLRs KO chondrocytes and BMM. CONCLUSIONS 14-3-3ε is able to induce an inflammatory phenotype in synoviocytes, macrophages and chondrocytes in addition to polarizing macrophages. These effects seem to involve TLR2 or TLR4 to trigger innate immunity. Our results designate 14-3-3ε as a novel alarmin in OA and as a new target either for therapeutic and/or prognostic purposes.

Inflammatory priming enhances mesenchymal stromal cell secretome potential as a clinical product for regenerative medicine approaches through secreted factors and EV-miRNAs: the example of joint disease. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:165. [PMID: 32345351 PMCID: PMC7189600 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-01677-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2019] [Revised: 03/23/2020] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-enriched products showed positive clinical outcomes in regenerative medicine, where tissue restoration and inflammation control are needed. GMP-expanded MSCs displayed an even higher potential due to exclusive secretion of therapeutic factors, both free and conveyed within extracellular vesicles (EVs), collectively termed secretome. Moreover, priming with biochemical cues may influence the portfolio and biological activities of MSC-derived factors. For these reasons, the use of naive or primed secretome gained attention as a cell-free therapeutic option. Albeit, at present, a homogenous and comprehensive secretome fingerprint is still missing. Therefore, the aim of this work was to deeply characterize adipose-derived MSC (ASC)-secreted factors and EV-miRNAs, and their modulation after IFNγ preconditioning. The crucial influence of the target pathology or cell type was also scored in osteoarthritis to evaluate disease-driven potency. Methods ASCs were isolated from four donors and cultured with and without IFNγ. Two-hundred secreted factors were assayed by ELISA. ASC-EVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation and validated by flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, and nanoparticle tracking analysis. miRNome was deciphered by high-throughput screening. Bioinformatics was used to predict the modulatory effect of secreted molecules on pathologic cartilage and synovial macrophages based on public datasets. Models of inflammation for both macrophages and chondrocytes were used to test by flow cytometry the secretome anti-inflammatory potency. Results Data showed that more than 60 cytokines/chemokines could be identified at varying levels of intensity in all samples. The vast majority of factors are involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, and chemotaxis or motility of inflammatory cells. IFNγ is able to further increase the capacity of the secretome to stimulate cell migration signals. Moreover, more than 240 miRNAs were found in ASC-EVs. Sixty miRNAs accounted for > 95% of the genetic message that resulted to be chondro-protective and M2 macrophage polarizing. Inflammation tipped the balance towards a more pronounced tissue regenerative and anti-inflammatory phenotype. In silico data were confirmed on inflamed macrophages and chondrocytes, with secretome being able to increase M2 phenotype marker CD163 and reduce the chondrocyte inflammation marker VCAM1, respectively. IFNγ priming further enhanced secretome anti-inflammatory potency. Conclusions Given the portfolio of soluble factors and EV-miRNAs, ASC secretome showed a marked capacity to stimulate cell motility and modulate inflammatory and degenerative processes. Preconditioning is able to increase this ability, suggesting inflammatory priming as an effective strategy to obtain a more potent clinical product which use should always be driven by the molecular mark of the target pathology.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic, autoimmune and inflammatory disease represented as synovitis, pannus formation, adjacent bone erosions, and joint destruction. The major cells involved in the perpetuation of RA pathogenesis are CD4+ T-cells (mainly Th1 cells and Th17 cells), fibroblasts like synoviocytes (FLS), macrophages and B cells. Other autoimmune cells such as dendritic cells, neutrophils, mast cells, and monocytes also contribute to RA pathogenesis. Monocytes are mainly bone marrow (BM) derived cells in the circulation. The chemokine receptors CCR2 and CX3CR1 expressed by monocytes interact with chemokine ligands CCL2 (MCP-1) and CX3CL1 (fractalkine) respectively produced by FLS and this interaction promotes their migration and recruitment into RA synovium. Activated monocytes on their surface exhibit upregulated antigenic expressions such as CD14, CD16, HLA-DR, toll-like receptors (TLRs), and adhesion molecules B1 and B2 integrins. RA monocytes interconnect with other cells in a positive loop manner in the propagation of the rheumatoid process. They skew towards mainly intermediate monocyte subsets (CD14++ CD16+) which produce proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Moreover, the predominant intermediate monocytes in RA differentiate into M1-macrophages which play a major role in synovial inflammation. Demonstrations suggest monocytes with CD14+ and CD16- expression (classical monocytes?) differentiate to osteoclasts which are the cells responsible for bone erosion in RA synovial joints. Th17 cells induce the production of RANKL by FLS which promotes osteoclastogenesis. Cytokines mainly TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 amplify osteoclastogenesis. Hence, monocytes are the circulating precursors of macrophages and osteoclasts in RA. AIM OF THE REVIEW: To enlighten the identity of monocytes, the antigenic expression on monocyte surface and their cytokines role in RA. We also emphasize about the chemokine receptors expressed by monocytes subsets and chemotaxis of circulating monocytes into RA synovium. Additionally, we review monocytes as the circulating precursors of macrophages and osteoclasts in RA joints and their heterogeneity and plasticity role in RA.

Abstract
ObjectivesTo investigate the roles and regulatory mechanisms of synovial macrophages and their polarisation in the development of osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsSynovial tissues from normal patients and patients with OA were collected. M1 or M2-polarised macrophages in synovial tissues of patients with OA and OA mice were analysed by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining. Mice with tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1) or Rheb deletion specifically in the myeloid lineage were generated and subjected to intra-articular injection of collagenase (collagenase-induced osteoarthritis, CIOA) and destabilisation of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgery to induce OA. Cartilage damage and osteophyte size were measured by Osteoarthritis Research Society International score and micro-CT, respectively. mRNA sequencing was performed in M1 and control macrophages. Mice and ATDC5 cells were treated with R-spondin-2 (Rspo2) or anti-Rspo2 to investigate the role of Rspo2 in OA.ResultsM1 but not M2-polarised macrophages accumulated in human and mouse OA synovial tissue. TSC1 deletion in the myeloid lineage constitutively activated mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), increased M1 polarisation in synovial macrophages and exacerbated experimental OA in both CIOA and DMM models, while Rheb deletion inhibited mTORC1, enhanced M2 polarisation and alleviated CIOA in mice. The results show that promoting the macrophage M1 polarisation leads to exacerbation of experimental OA partially through secretion of Rspo2 and activation of β-catenin signalling in chondrocytes.ConclusionsSynovial macrophage M1 polarisation exacerbates experimental CIOA partially through Rspo2. M1 macrophages and Rspo2 are potential therapeutic targets for OA treatment.

Abstract
Prevalence of circulating immunocomplexes (ICs) strongly correlates with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in humans. Deposits of IgG-ICs are abundant in affected joints of patients, yet molecular mechanisms for the pathogenic roles of such ICs are not fully understood. In this study, we present evidence that IgG-ICs precipitated from RA sera sensitized human monocytes for a long-lasting inflammatory functional state, characterized by a strong TNF-α response to cellular proteins representing damage-associated molecular patterns and microbe-derived pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Importantly, plate-coated human IgG (a mimic of deposited IC without Ag restriction) exhibited a similarly robust ability of monocyte sensitization in vitro. The plate-coated human IgG-induced functional programming is accompanied by transcriptomic and epigenetic modification of various inflammatory cytokines and negative regulator genes. Moreover, macrophages freshly isolated from synovia of patients with RA, but not sera-negative arthropathy, displayed a signature gene expression profile highly similar to that of IC-sensitized human monocytes, indicative of historical priming events by IgG-ICs in vivo. Thus, the ability of IgG-ICs to drive sustainable functional sensitization/reprogramming of monocytes and macrophages toward inflammation may render them key players in the development of RA.

Analysis of PD-1 and Tim-3 expression on CD4 + T cells of patients with rheumatoid arthritis; negative association with DAS28. Clin Rheumatol 2018; 37:2063-2071. [PMID: 29626269 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-018-4076-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2018] [Revised: 03/16/2018] [Accepted: 03/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Expression of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (Tim-3) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) was studied on CD4+ T cells of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Association of Tim-3 and PD-1 expression with disease activity of RA patients was also addressed. A total of 37 RA patients and 31 sex- and age-matched healthy controls were included in this study. Disease activity of RA patients was determined by Disease Activity Score of 28 joints scoring system (DAS28). A three-color flow cytometry method was applied to determine the frequency of Tim-3+/PD-1+/CD4+ T cells. To measure the cytokine production, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated with PMA/ionomycin. Concentrations of IL-17, IL-10, IFN-γ, and TNF-α were measured in culture supernatants by ELISA. The frequency of PD-1+/CD4+ and Tim-3+/PD-1+/CD4+ T cells was significantly higher in patients with RA compared to that in controls (p = 0.0013 and p = 0.050, respectively). The percentage of Tim-3+/CD4+ T cells was similar in patients and controls (p = 0.4498). The RA patients have produced significant higher levels of TNF-α, IL-17, and IFN-γ than those of healthy controls (p = 0.0121, p = 0.0417, and p = 0.0478, respectively). Interestingly, an inverse correlation was found between the frequency of Tim-3+/CD4+ cells and DAS28 of RA patients (r = - 0.4696, p = 0.0493). Similarly, the percentage of Tim-3+/PD-1+/CD4+ T cells was also revealed an inverse correlation with DAS28 (r = - 0.5268, p = 0.0493). Moreover, significant positive correlations were detected between the concentrations of TNF-α (r = 0.6418, p = 0.0023) and IL-17 (r = 0.4683, p = 0.0373) with disease activity of RA patients. Our results indicate that Tim-3 and PD-1 are involved in immune dysregulation mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis and could be considered as useful biomarkers for determination of disease activity and progression.

Abstract
After implantation of a biomaterial, an inflammatory response involving macrophages is induced. The behavior of macrophages depends on their phenotype, and by directing macrophage polarization unwanted effects may be avoided. In this study, the possibility to modulate the behavior of macrophages activated by biomaterials was assessed in an in vitro model. Primary human monocytes were seeded on polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene and polylactic acid yarns, and treated with medications frequently used by patients: rapamycin, dexamethasone, celecoxib or pravastatin. Modulation of the adhering macrophages with rapamycin resulted in a generally pro-inflammatory effect. Dexamethasone caused an overall anti-inflammatory effect on the macrophages cultured on either material, while celecoxib only affected macrophages adhering to polyethylene terephthalate and polylactic acid. Pravastatin increased the pro-inflammatory genes of macrophages cultured on polypropylene and polylactic acid. Pairwise comparison revealed that macrophages adhering to polylactic acid seemed to be more susceptible to phenotype modulation than when adhering to polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate. The data show that macrophages activated by the biomaterials can be modulated, yet the degree of the modulatory capacity depends on the type of material. Combined, this model provides insights into the possibility of using a medication in combination with a biomaterial to direct macrophage behavior and thereby possibly avoid unwanted effects after implantation.

Cartilage inflammation and degeneration is enhanced by pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophages in vitro, but not inhibited directly by anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2016; 24:2162-2170. [PMID: 27502245 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2016.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 84] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2015] [Revised: 07/09/2016] [Accepted: 07/28/2016] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Macrophages play a crucial role in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Their phenotype may range from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory. The aim of this study was to evaluate the direct effects of macrophage subtypes on cartilage by culturing macrophage conditioned medium (MCM) on human articular cartilage. DESIGN Human OA cartilage explants were cultured with MCM of pro-inflammatory M(IFNγ+TNFα), or anti-inflammatory M(IL-4) or M(IL-10) human monocyte-derived macrophages. To assess effects of anti-inflammatory macrophages, the cartilage was cultured with a combination of MCM phenotypes as well as pre-stimulated with IFNγ+TNFα cartilage before culture with MCM. The reactions of the explants were assessed by gene expression, nitric oxide (NO) production and release of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). RESULTS M(IFNγ+TNFα) MCM affected OA cartilage by upregulation of IL1B (Interleukin 1β), IL6, MMP13 (Matrix Metalloproteinase-13) and ADAMTS5 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs-5), while inhibiting ACAN (aggrecan) and COL2A1 (collagen type II). M(IL-10) upregulated IL1B and Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1). NO production and GAG release by the cartilage was increased when cultured with M(IFNγ+TNFα) MCM. M(IL-4) and M(IL-10) did not inhibit the effects of M(IFNγ+TNFα) MCM of neither phenotype affected IFNγ+TNFα pre-stimulated cartilage, in which an inflammatory gene response was deliberately induced. CONCLUSION M(IFNγ+TNFα) macrophages have a prominent direct effect on OA cartilage, while M(IL-4) and M(IL-10) do not inhibit the effects of M(IFNγ+TNFα), or IFNγ+TNFα induced inflammation of the cartilage. Therapies aiming at inhibiting cartilage degeneration may take this into account by directing suppression of pro-inflammatory macrophages or stimulation of anti-inflammatory macrophages.

Abstract
This study investigates the effect of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on collagen type I and III, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in experimentally induced tendinopathy in female aged rats. Tendinopathy was induced by the Achilles tendoncollagenase peritendinous. Forty-two Wistar rats (Norvegicus albinus) were used; groups consisted of 36 aged animals (18 months old; mean body weight, 517.7 ± 27.54 g) and 6 adult animals (12 weeks old; mean body weight, 266± 19.30 g). The animals were divided into three groups: control, aged tendinopathy, and aged tendinopathy PBMT; the aged groups were subdivided based on time to euthanasia: 7, 14, and 21 days. PBMT involved a gallium-arsenide-aluminum laser (Theralaser, DMC®) with active medium operating at wavelength 830 ± 10 nm, 50 mW power, 0.028 cm2 laser beam, 107 J/cm2 energy density, 1.8 W/cm2 power density, and an energy of 3 J per point. The laser was applied by direct contact with the left Achilles tendon during 60 s per point at a frequency of three times per week, until the euthanasia date (7, 14, and 21 days). VEGF, MMP-3, and MMP-9 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry, and collagen type I and III by Sirius red. PBMT increased the deposition of collagen type I and III in a gradual manner, with significant differences relative to the group aged tendonitis (p < 0.001), and in relation to VEGF (p < 0.001); decreased expression of MMP-3 and 9 were observed in group aged tendinopathy (p < 0.001). PBMT, therefore, increased the production of collagen type I and III, downregulated the expression of MMP-3 and MMP-9, and upregulated that of VEGF, with age and age-induced hormonal deficiency.

Monocyte subsets in blood correlate with obesity related response of macrophages to biomaterials in vitro. Biomaterials 2016; 109:32-39.

Abstract
Macrophages play a key role in the foreign body response. In this study it was investigated whether obesity affects the acute response of macrophages to biomaterials in vitro and whether this response is associated with biomarkers in blood. CD14 + monocytes were isolated from blood from obese and age and gender matched lean persons. Monocyte subsets were determined based on CD14 and CD16 on their surface. C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured in peripheral blood. The response of monocyte-derived macrophages to polypropylene (PP), polylactic acid (PLA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) monofilament, and PET-multifilament (mPET) in culture was based on cytokine production. More IL-6 (for PET), less CCL18 (all materials) and IL-1ra (for PLA) was produced by macrophages from obese patients than lean subjects. Body mass index, serum CRP and to a lesser extend percentages of monocyte subtypes correlated with IL-6, TNFα, CCL18, and IL-1ra production. Taken together, monocyte-derived macrophages of obese patients respond more pro-inflammatory and less anti-inflammatory to biomaterials than macrophages from lean subjects, depending on the material. These results are a step towards personalized medicine for the development of a model or even a blood test to decide which biomaterial might be suitable for each patient.

Abstract
The musculoskeletal system is an incredible machine that protects, supports and moves the human body. However, several diseases can limit its functionality, compromising patient quality of life. Designing novel pathological models would help to clarify the mechanisms driving such diseases, identify new biomarkers and screen potential drug candidates. Miniaturized models in particular can mimic the structure and function of basic tissue units within highly controlled microenvironments, overcoming the limitations of traditional macroscale models and complementing animal studies, which despite being closer to the in vivo situation, are affected by species-specific differences. Here, we discuss the miniaturized models engineered over the past few years to analyze osteochondral and skeletal muscle pathologies, demonstrating how the rationale design of novel systems could provide key insights into the pathological mechanisms behind diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
