Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration. OA usually manifests as joint pain, limited mobility, and joint effusion. Currently, the primary OA treatment is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Although they can alleviate the disease's clinical symptoms and signs, the drugs have some side effects. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) may be an alternative to relieve OA symptoms. Materials and Results We confirmed the anti-inflammatory effect of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) in vitro and in vivo experiments for OA disease in this study. In vitro experiments, we found that SeNPs could significantly reduce the expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the major inflammatory factors, and had significant anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. SeNPs can inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and increased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in interleukin-1beta (IL-1β)-stimulated cells. Additionally, SeNPs down-regulated matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS-5) expressions, while up-regulated type II collagen (COL-2) and aggrecan (ACAN) expressions stimulated by IL-1β. The findings also indicated that SeNPs may exert their effects through suppressing the NF-κB p65 and p38/MAPK pathways. In vivo experiments, the prevention of OA development brought on by SeNPs was demonstrated using a DMM model. Discussion Our results suggest that SeNPs may be a potential anti-inflammatory agent for treating OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease characterized by enzymatic degradation of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) causing joint pain and disability. There is no disease-modifying drug available for the treatment of OA. An ideal drug is expected to stop cartilage ECM degradation and restore the degenerated ECM. The ECM primarily contains type II collagen and aggrecan but also has minor quantities of other collagen fibers and proteoglycans. In OA joints, the components of the cartilage ECM are degraded by matrix-degrading proteases and hydrolases which are produced by chondrocytes and synoviocytes. Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 and 5 (ADAMTS5) are the major collagenase and aggrecanase, respectively, which are highly expressed in OA cartilage and promote cartilage ECM degradation. Current studies using various in vitro and in vivo approaches show that natural compounds inhibit the expression and activity of MMP-13, ADAMTS4, and ADAMTS5 and increase the expression of ECM components. In this review, we have summarized recent advancements in OA research with a focus on natural compounds as potential therapeutics for the treatment of OA with emphasis on the prevention of cartilage ECM degradation and improvement of joint health.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the progressing chronic joint associated with by many complex factors such as age, obesity, and trauma. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common type of OA. KOA is characterized by articular cartilage destruction and degeneration, synovial inflammation, and abnormal subchondral bone changes. To date, no practical clinical approach has been able to modify the pathological progression of KOA. Drug therapy is limited to pain control and may lead to serious side effects when taken for a long time. Therefore, searching for safer and more reliable treatments has become necessary. Interestingly, more and more research has focused on natural products, and monomeric compounds derived from natural products have received much attention as drug candidates for KOA treatment. Resveratrol (RES), a natural phenolic compound, has various pharmacological and biological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-apoptotic, and anti-decay. Recently, studies on the effects of RES on maintaining the normal homeostasis of chondrocytes in KOA have received increasing attention, which seems to be attributed to the multi-targeted effects of RES on chondrocyte function. This review summarizes preclinical trials, clinical trials, and emerging tissue engineering studies of RES for KOA and discusses the specific mechanisms by which RES alleviates KOA. A better understanding of the pharmacological role of RES in KOA could provide clinical implications for intervention in the development of KOA.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RES) and oxyresveratrol (OXYRES) are considered and utilized as active ingredients of anti-aging skin cosmetics. However, these compounds are susceptible to oxidative discoloration and unpleasant odor in solutions, limiting their use in cosmetics. Accordingly, RES and OXYRES were chemically modified to acetylated derivatives with enhanced stability, and their anti-aging effect on the skin and detailed molecular mechanism of their acetylated derivatives were investigated. Acetylated RES and OXYRES lost their acetyl group and exerted an inhibitory effect on H2O2-induced ROS levels in human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells. In addition, RES, OXYRES, and their acetylated derivatives suppressed UVB-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 expression via inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and Akt/mTOR signaling pathways. Furthermore, RES, OXYRES, and their acetylated derivatives suppressed type I collagen in TPA-treated HDF cells. Collectively, these results suggest the beneficial effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of RES, OXYRES, and their acetylated derivatives for anti- skin aging applications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex degenerative disease in which joint homeostasis is disrupted, leading to synovial inflammation, cartilage degradation, subchondral bone remodeling, and resulting in pain and joint disability. Yet, the development of new treatment strategies to restore the equilibrium of the osteoarthritic joint remains a challenge. Numerous studies have revealed that dietary components and/or natural products have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bone-resorption, and anabolic potential and have received much attention toward the development of new therapeutic strategies for OA treatment. In the present review, we provide an overview of current and emerging natural-product-based research treatments for OA management by drawing attention to experimental, pre-clinical, and clinical models. Herein, we review current and emerging natural-product-based research treatments for OA management.

Chem Biol Interact 2021; 337:109395.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the signaling pathways associated with the effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) on matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and MMP-3 expression in the human dermal fibroblast cell line CCD-966SK. TNF-α upregulated MMP-1 and MMP-3 mRNA and protein expression, and NFκB/p65 activation was found to be involved in TNF-α-induced MMP-1 and MMP-3 upregulation. TNF-α induced p65 phosphorylation at Ser536 and acetylation at Lys310. p300 knockdown suppressed TNF-α-induced p65 acetylation and reduced MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression in TNF-α-treated cells, but did not greatly restore MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression when p65 phosphorylation was inhibited by Bay11-7082 (IκBα inhibitor). NF-κB/luciferase reporter assay revealed that p300-mediated p65 acetylation was crucial for TNF-α-induced nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) transcriptional activity. The chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay indicated that TNF-α increased p300 recruitment to the MMP-1 and MMP-3 promoter regions surrounding the NFκB-binding site. Resveratrol notably inhibited TNF-α-induced MMP-1 and MMP-3 upregulation and abrogated TNF-α-induced p65 acetylation, leading to the downregulation of MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression in TNF-α-treated cells. Our data indicate that TNF-α-induced p300-mediated p65 acetylation leads to the upregulation of MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression in dermal fibroblasts, whereas resveratrol reduces this TNF-α-induced upregulation by downregulating p300 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a regular age-related disease that affects millions of people. Resveratrol (RSV) is a flavonoid with a stilbene structure with different pharmacological effects. The purpose of the experiment was to evaluate the protective role of RSV against the human OA chondrocyte injury induced by interleukin-1β (IL-1β). METHODS Chondrocytes were isolated from OA patients and identified by type II collagen, safranin O staining, and toluidine blue staining. Differentially expressed genes in chondrocytes treated RSV were identified by RNA sequencing. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway as well as gene ontology (GO) were further conducted through Metascape online tool. A cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was applied to discover the viability of chondrocytes (6, 12, 24, and 48 μM). Many genes associated with inflammation and matrix degradation are evaluated by real-time PCR (RT-PCR) as well as western blot (WB). The mechanism of RSV for protecting IL-1β induced chondrocytes injury was further measured through immunofluorescence and WB assays. RESULTS A total of 845 differentially expressed genes (upregulated = 499, downregulated = 346) were found. These differentially expressed genes mainly enriched into negative regulation of catabolic process, autophagy, and cellular catabolic process, intrinsic apoptotic, apoptotic, and regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway, cellular response to abiotic stimulus, external stimuli, stress, and radiation. These differentially expressed genes were obviously enriched in NF-kB signaling pathway. RSV at the concentration of 48 μM markedly weakened the viability of the cells after 24 h of treatment (87% vs 100%, P < 0.05). No obvious difference was observed between the 6, 12, and 24 μM groups (106% vs 100%, 104% vs 100%, 103% vs 100%, P > 0.05). RSV (24 μM) also markedly depressed the levels of PGE2 and NO induced by IL-1β by 25% and 29% respectively (P < 0.05). Our experiment pointed out that RSV could dramatically inhibit the inflammatory response induced by IL-1β, including the MMP-13, MMP-3, and MMP-1 in human OA chondrocytes by 50%, 35%, and 33% respectively. On the other hand, RSV inhibited cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), MMP-3, MMP-13, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOs) expression (P < 0.05), while increased collagen-II and aggrecan levels (P < 0.05). From a mechanistic perspective, RSV inhibited the degradation of IκB-α as well as the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) induced by IL-1β. CONCLUSION In summary, RSV regulates the signaling pathway of NF-κB, thus inhibiting inflammation and matrix degradation in chondrocytes. More studies should be focused on the treatment efficacy of RSV for OA in vivo.

Abstract
The application of tissue engineering to generate cartilage is limited because of low proliferative ability and unstable phenotype of chondrocytes. The sources of cartilage seed cells are mainly chondrocytes and stem cells. A variety of methods have been used to obtain large numbers of chondrocytes, including increasing chondrocyte proliferation and stem cell chondrogenic differentiation via cytokines, genes, and proteins. Natural or synthetic small molecule compounds can provide a simple and effective method to promote chondrocyte proliferation, maintain a stable chondrocyte phenotype, and promote stem cell chondrogenic differentiation. Therefore, the study of small molecule compounds is of great importance for cartilage tissue engineering. Herein, we review a series of small molecule compounds and their mechanisms that can promote chondrocyte proliferation, maintain chondrocyte phenotype, or induce stem cell chondrogenesis. The studies in this field represent significant contributions to the research in cartilage tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) consist of multifactorial musculoskeletal disorders associated with the muscles of mastication, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and annexed structures. This clinical condition is characterized by temporomandibular pain, restricted mandibular movement, and TMJ synovial inflammation, resulting in reduced quality of life of affected people. Commonly, TMD management aims to reduce pain and inflammation by using pharmacologic therapies that show efficacy in pain relief but their long-term use is frequently associated with adverse effects. For this reason, the use of natural compounds as an effective alternative to conventional drugs appears extremely interesting. Indeed, polyphenols could represent a potential therapeutic strategy, related to their ability to modulate the inflammatory responses involved in TMD. The present work reviews the mechanisms underlying inflammation-related TMD, highlighting the potential role of polyphenols as a promising approach to develop innovative management of temporomandibular diseases.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative articular disorder. Formation of bone spurs, synovial inflammation, loss of cartilage, and underlying bone restructuring have been reported to be the main pathologic characteristics of osteoarthritis symptoms. The onset and progression of osteoarthritis are attributed to various inflammatory cytokines in joint tissues and fluids that are produced by chondrocytes and/or interact with chondrocytes, as well as to low-grade inflammation in intra-articular tissues. Disruption of the equilibrium between the synthesis and degradation of the cartilage of the joint is the major cause of osteoarthritis. Hence, developing a promising pharmacological tool to restore the equilibrium between the synthesis and degradation of osteoarthritic joint cartilage can be a useful strategy for effectively managing osteoarthritis. In this review, we provide an overview of the research results pertaining to the search for a novel candidate agent for osteoarthritis management via restoration of the equilibrium between cartilage synthesis and degradation. We especially focused on investigations of medicinal plants and natural products derived from them to shed light on the potential pharmacotherapy of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Food-borne trematodiases represent major neglected parasitic diseases. Trematodes of the family Opisthorchiidae including Opisthorchis felineus, Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis are ranked eight on the global list of the 24 most prevalent food-borne parasites. Chronic O. felineus infection symptoms include precancerous lesions with the potential for malignancy. In recent decades, liver flukes of the family Opisthorchiidae have been extensively scientifically explored, however despite this the molecular mechanisms of O. felineus pathogenicity and its carcinogenic potential have not been studied. Opisthorchis felineus glutathione-dependent prostaglandin synthase (GST σ) is the major component of the excretory-secretory product of this liver fluke. We hypothesised that the activity of this enzyme is involved in the infection pathogenesis, including the formation of precancerous lesions. To test this hypothesis and to gain insights into the mechanisms of precancerous lesion formation, we (i) investigated whether excretory parasitic GST σ retains its enzymatic activity, (ii) tested resveratrol (RSV) as a possible inhibitor of this enzyme, and (iii) assessed biliary neoplasia and oxidative DNA damage as well as the expression of neoplasia and fibrogenesis marker genes after prolonged administration of RSV in a hamster model. RSV was found to inhibit GST σ enzymatic activity in a dose-dependent manner (R = 0.85, P < 0.001; half-maximal effective dose (ED50) = 48.6 μM). Prolonged administration of RSV significantly suppressed high-grade biliary neoplasia (P = 0.008), attenuated upregulation of hyperplasia and fibrogenesis-related genes (Tgfb, α-SMA and CK7), and decreased the elevated oxidative DNA damage. Taking into account that RSV can influence a wide range of pathways, further research is needed to confirm the role of GST σ in O. felineus pathogenicity. Nevertheless, the chemopreventive effect of RSV targeting biliary neoplasia formation might be useful for improving the outcomes in infected populations and represents a compelling rationale for RSV testing in combination chemotherapy of opisthorchiasis.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a complex inflammatory condition with multiple factors and degenerative processes co-occurring. However, its pathogenesis remains uncertain. The purpose of the study was to observe the expression of Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signal related molecules in TMJOA induced by bite-raising and to study the effect and mechanism of Ihh signaling. Our research indicated that Ihh signaling pathway can be activated in condylar cartilage induced by bite-raising. The histological analysis showed TMJOA-like structural changes of condylar cartilage in experiment groups. Ihh, Smoothened (Smo), and Gli zinc finger transcription factors-1 (Gli-1) were activated in the experimental groups, and the expression levels increased significantly over time, whereas the sham control groups showed no fluctuation. Additionally, the expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 (Caspase-3) in the experiment groups increased in a time-dependent manner compared with the matched sham control groups. In conclusion, our results indicated that the Ihh signaling pathway may activate the occurrence of TMJOA by mediating the hypertrophy of chondrocytes, which may be an important regulatory mechanism and potential therapeutic target in the repair of condylar cartilage.
