Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) remains a challenging condition due to limited drug bioavailability within the avascular and dense cartilage matrix. This study introduces a pH/redox-responsive nanogel for enhanced delivery of geraniol in OA therapy. We investigated geraniol's role in preventing chondrocyte matrix degradation and designed a pH/redox-responsive nanogel as a delivery platform. Our methods included Western blot, histological staining, and immunohistochemistry. Geraniol treatment reduced Keap1 expression while elevating Nrf2 and HO-1 levels, effectively inhibiting cartilage matrix degradation. The pH/redox-responsive nanogel further enhanced geraniol's therapeutic impact. Our study demonstrates that geraniol encapsulated within a pH/redox-responsive nanogel mitigates OA by regulating oxidative stress and inflammation. This innovative approach holds potential as an effective OA therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, osteoarthritis (OA) has been a major health problem worldwide. It is urgent to develop new, effective, and safe drugs to treat OA. There are many pentacyclic triterpenoids in nature that are safe and have health benefits. Oleanolic acid (OLA), one of the pentacyclic triterpenoids, is a potential novel compound for treating OA; however, its mechanism of action is still unclear. In this study, the mechanism of resistance to extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation of OLA and its protective role in the amelioration of OA were investigated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. We found that OLA promoted interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced production of type II collagen (collagen II) in rat chondrocytes, decreased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-13, and inhibited inflammatory cytokine (IL-1β and TNF-α) and cartilage marker (CTX-II and COMP) levels, thereby hindering the pathological process of cartilage. Mechanistically, OLA inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, activated the Hippo/YAP pathway, and hampered the ECM degradation process by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of β-catenin and YAP. When we knocked down β-catenin, OLA lost its stimulatory effect on the Hippo pathway. These findings confirm that OLA plays an anti-ECM degradation role by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin and Hippo/YAP pathways. Overall, this study provides a theoretical basis for developing highly effective and low-toxic natural products for the prevention and treatment of OA.

Abstract
Since inflammatory cytokines cause stress to chondrocytes and the failure of cartilage defects repair with cartilage tissue engineering, it is necessary to develop a scaffold to maintain cartilage regeneration under inflammatory factors caused stress. Following a berberine-oleanolic acid (OA) complex salt (BOA) was grafted to hyaluronic acid (HA) to obtain water soluble BOA-g-HA, it mixed with silk fibroin (SF) to prepared 4 solutions, which contained 30 mg/mL SF and 0.75, 1.5, 2.25, and 3.0 mg/mL BOA-g-HA respectively. They were lyophilized to fabricate BOA-g-HA/SF-1, BOA-g-HA/SF-2, BOA-g-HA/SF-3, and BOA-g-HA/SF-4 composite scaffolds respectively. All prepared scaffolds displayed porous network structure and exhibited promising mechanical properties for tissue engineering applications. Among them, the BOA-g-HA/SF-3 composite scaffold showed the highest influence on maintaining chondrocytic phenotype of chondrocytes under IL-1β induced stress. Following SF, HA/SF, and BOA-g-HA/SF-3 composite scaffolds with seeded chondrocytes were treated with IL-1β induction for 1 week, specimens were incubated with cell culture medium for 3 week or were subcutaneously implanted into nude mice for 4 weeks. The results demonstrated that the BOA-g-HA/SF-3 composite scaffold promotes cartilage tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo under IL-1β caused stress, suggesting that it can be potential applied for repairing cartilage defects in osteoarthritis patients.

Abstract
This study aimed was to examine the potential of several green extraction methods to extract cosmetic/cosmeceutical components from Macadamia integrifolia pericarps, which were a by-product of the macadamia nut industry. M. integrifolia pericarps were extracted by conventional solvent extraction process using 95% v/v ethanol and various green extraction methods, including infusion, ultrasound, micellar, microwave, and pulsed electric field extraction using water as a clean and green solvent. The extracts were evaluated for total phenolic content using Folin-Ciocalteu method.The antioxidant activities were evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), ferric reducing/antioxidant power, and ferric-thiocyanate method. The anti-skin ageing activities were investigated by means of collagenase, elastase, and hyaluronidase inhibition using enzyme-substrate reaction assay. The irritation profile of the extracts was evaluated by the hen's egg test-chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM) test. The results noted that ultrasound-assisted extraction yielded the significantly highest extract amount with the significantly highest total phenolic content (p < 0.05), especially when the extraction time was 10 min. The aqueous extract from ultrasound-assisted extraction possessed the most potent antioxidant and anti-skin ageing activities (p < 0.05). Its antioxidant activities were comparable to ascorbic acid and Trolox, whereas the anti-skin ageing activities were equivalent to epigallocatechin-3-gallate and oleanolic acid. Besides, the extract was safe since it induced no irritation in the HET-CAM test. Therefore, ultrasound-assisted extraction was suggested as an environmentally friendly extraction method for M. integrifolia pericarp extraction and further application in the cosmetic/cosmeceutical industries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is one the most lethal cancers worldwide. Since chemotherapy is burdened with harmful effects, agents capable of enhancing the chemotherapeutic effect are being sought. Ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA) were analyzed for such properties. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of UA and OA administered individually and in combination with each other and/or a cytostatic drug camptothecin-11 (CPT-11) to limit the viability and migration of colorectal cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cytotoxic effect of UA, OA and CPT-11 and impact on normal and cancer cell migration rate were assessed. Furthermore, the effect on factors crucial in cancer metastasis: MMP-2 and -9, uPA/uPAR, and E-cadherin were assessed with ELISA, Western Blotting and immunofluorescence assays. Statistical analysis was performed with One-Way Anova with Dunnett's test. RESULTS The studied compounds exhibited the most favorable properties, i.e. they reduced the viability and migration of cancer cells. Furthermore, the secretion, activity, and cellular level of cancer MMP-2 and -9 were decreased, as a result of uPA/uPAR down-regulation. The agents also increased the level of cellular E-cadherin. The effect of the studied agents on normal cells was milder. CONCLUSIONS The compounds exhibited stronger activity when administered in combination and, combined with CPT-11, enhanced anti-tumorigenic activity of the drug. The migration-limiting activity was based on down-regulation of the uPA/uPAR-dependent MMP pathway. Moreover, UA and OA exhibited a protective effect towards normal cells.

Abstract
Background and aim Plantago major has long been used for medical purposes in Indonesia. However, reports on the anti-arthritic activities of P. major are limited. Experimental procedure The anti-arthritic properties of an n-hexane-insoluble fraction of dichloromethane extracts of P. major (IPM) were evaluated using Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis induced in female Wistar rat by CFA. Diclofenac was used as a positive control. The volume of paw oedema, white blood cell count, lymphocytes, neutrophils, expression of TNF-α and Interleukin-6 and the histopathological features of the joint tissues were assessed to characterise IPM activity. Results The IPM extract at doses of 280 and 420 mg/kg BW and diclofenac inhibited paw oedema by 15.70 %, 15.94 % and 19.71 % respectively. IPM also reduced the incidence of arthritis and arthritic index. Unlike untreated rats, animals treated with IPM showed a significant decrease in the number of neutrophils and decreased expression of TNF-α and Interleukin-6. Histopathological examination showed a reduction in the number of inflammatory cells and hyperplasia of the synovium after IPM treatment. Conclusion This study showed that P. major displays anti-rheumatoid arthritis activity. In Indonesia, P. major has long been used for medical purposes but the reports on the anti-arthritic activities are limited. IPM reduced the volume of oedema, the incidence of arthritis, and the arthritic index in rheumatoid arthritis rat model. IPM prevents the development of arthritis by decreasing inflammatory cells and the expression of TNF-α and IL-6.

Abstract
Xian-Xiong-Gu-Kang is composed of Epimedium brevicornu, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Radix clematidis, Cinnamomum cassia, and Fructus xanthii. It is used to treat numbness and pain of limbs. In this study, we developed a method to simultaneously quantify 11 components of Xian-Xiong-Gu-Kang (icarrin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, icariside II, chlorogenic acid, ligustilide, senkyunolide A, senkyunolide I, ferulic acid, and cinnamic acid) in rat plasma using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometry. Chromatographic separation was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column using gradient elution with a mobile phase comprising acetonitrile and 0.05% (v/v) formic acid aqueous solution. Mass spectrometry detection was performed using positive and negative electrospray ionization in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. The calibration curves of the 11 constituents were linear, with correlation coefficients > 0.99. The intra- and interday accuracy and precision values were within ±15.0%. The extraction recoveries of the 11 constituents and two internal standards were between 66.05 and 105.40%, and the matrix effects were between 86.74 and 112.86%. Using this method, the pharmacokinetic features of the 11 constituents were elucidated in the plasma of osteoarthritic rats after oral administration of the Xian-Xiong-Gu-Kang extract.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the nutricosmetic effect of Asparagus officinalis extracts. The tip and spear of A. officinalis were successively extracted with 95% ethanol. The rutin, phenolic, and flavonoid contents of A. officinalis extracts were investigated. The antioxidant activities were determined by 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) and a ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), elastase, and hyaluronidase inhibition were determined by in vitro enzyme reaction assay. The cytotoxicity was analyzed on peripheral blood mononuclear cellss. Findings revealed that drying temperature and drying duration had significant effects on the chemical composition and biological activity of A. officinalis extract. A. officinalis tips dried at 50 °C for 24 h contained the (significantly) highest flavonoid and rutin content. The most potent extract was from A. officinalis spears since it possessed the (significantly) highest MMP-1, elastase, and hyaluronidase inhibition rates of 83.4 ± 1.5%, 70.4 ± 4.1%, and 75.2 ± 1.0%, respectively. Interestingly, at the same concentration, the A. officinalis spear extract was more potent in MMP-1 inhibition than oleanolic acid and epigallocatechin gallate, the well-known natural MMP-1 inhibitors. The results show that A. officinalis extract is an attractive source of natural anti-skin-wrinkle ingredients.

Oleanolic Acid Decreases IL-1 β-Induced Activation of Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes via the SIRT3-NF- κB Axis in Osteoarthritis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:7517219. [PMID: 33062145 PMCID: PMC7542488 DOI: 10.1155/2020/7517219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Synovial inflammation is a major pathological feature of osteoarthritis (OA), which is a chronic degenerative joint disease. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), localized in the synovial membrane, are specialized secretory cells. During OA synovitis, FLS produce chemokines and cytokines that stimulate chondrocytes to secrete inflammatory cytokines and activate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in FLS. Recent studies have demonstrated that sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) performs as a key regulator in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis in OA. This study aims at ascertaining whether SIRT3 is involved in OA synovitis. The overexpression (OE) and knockdown (KD) of SIRT3 are established by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and recombinant plasmid in human FLS. The anti-inflammatory effect of SIRT3 underlying in oleanolic acid- (OLA-) prevented interleukin-1β- (IL-1β-) induced FLS dysfunction is then evaluated in vitro. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms of SIRT3 are assessed, and the interaction between SIRT3 and NF-κB is investigated. The data suggested that SIRT3 can be detected in human synovial tissues during OA, and OLA could elevate SIRT3 expression. OE-SIRT3 and OLA exhibited equal authenticity to repress inflammation and reverse oxidative stress changes in IL-1β-induced human FLS dysfunction. KD-SIRT3 was found to exacerbate inflammation and oxidative stress changes in human FLS. Furthermore, it was found that SIRT3 could directly bind with NF-κB, resulting in the suppression of NF-κB activation induced by IL-1β in human FLS, which then repressed synovial inflammation in OA. In general, the activation of SIRT3 by OLA inhibited synovial inflammation by suppressing the NF-κB signal pathway in FLS, and this suggested that SIRT3 is a potential target for OA synovitis therapy.

Molecular Targets of Natural Products for Chondroprotection in Destructive Joint Diseases. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21144931. [PMID: 32668590 PMCID: PMC7404046 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21144931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis that occurs in an aged population. It affects any joints in the body and degenerates the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone. Despite the pathophysiology of OA being different, cartilage resorption is still a symbol of osteoarthritis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important proteolytic enzymes that degrade extra-cellular matrix proteins (ECM) in the body. MMPs contribute to the turnover of cartilage and its break down; their levels have increased in the joint tissues of OA patients. Application of chondroprotective drugs neutralize the activities of MMPs. Natural products derived from herbs and plants developed as traditional medicine have been paid attention to, due to their potential biological effects. The therapeutic value of natural products in OA has increased in reputation due to their clinical impact and insignificant side effects. Several MMPs inhibitor have been used as therapeutic drugs, for a long time. Recently, different types of compounds were reviewed for their biological activities. In this review, we summarize numerous natural products for the development of MMPs inhibitors in arthritic diseases and describe the major signaling targets that were involved for the treatments of these destructive joint diseases.

Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:107.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease wherein the articular cartilage exhibits inflammation and degradation. Scutellarin (SCU) is a flavonoid glycoside with a range of pharmacological activities, as shown in previous studies demonstrating its anti-inflammatory activity. How SCU impacts the progression of OA, however, has not been explored to date. Herein, we assessed the impact of SCU on murine chondrocytes in an OA model system. In in vitro assays, we measured chondrocyte expression of key OA-associated factors such as matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS-5), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) via qRT-PCR and Western blotting, the expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were detected by qRT-PCR. Our results showed that the downregulation of MMP-13, ADAMTS-5, COX-2, and iNOS expression by SCU and the overproduction of IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2 induced by IL-1β were all inhibited by SCU in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, SCU was able to reverse aggrecan and collagen II degradation and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway activation both in vivo and in vitro. We further used a destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) murine model of OA to explore the therapeutic benefits of SCU in vivo. Together, our findings suggest SCU to be a potentially valuable therapeutic agent useful for treating OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND microRNA (miR)-mediated post-transcriptional repression has been reported in the process of chondrocyte dysfunction. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying in oleanolic acid (OLA)-prevented interleukin (IL)-1β-induced chondrocyte dysfunction via the miR-148-3p/fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) signaling pathway. METHODS Candidate miRs were filtrated using miR microarray assays in chondrocytes with or without IL-1β stimulation. Gene expression of candidate miRs and protein expression of FGF2 were analyzed using a quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. Cell growth was evaluated using cell counting kit-8 assays. Cell apoptosis was detected using Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate double staining. RESULTS Treatment with OLA counteracted IL-1β-evoked chondrocyte growth inhibition, apoptosis, caspase3 production, and release of malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine. Additionally, FGF2 protein expression levels elevated by IL-1β were down-regulated by OLA and transfection with miR-148-3p mimics. IL-1β-induced down-regulation of miR-148-3p in chondrocytes was evaluated by OLA administration. Bioinformatics algorithms and experimental measurements indicated that FGF2 might be a direct target of miR-148-3p. miR-148-3p mimics exhibited equal authenticity of OLA to protect against IL-1β-induced chondrocyte dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Our present findings highlight a protective effect of OLA on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte dysfunction, and a novel signal cascade comprising the miR-148-3p/FGF2 signaling pathway might be a potential therapeutic target of OLA with respect to preventing the progression of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Matrix metalloproteinases, zinc dependent proteolytic enzymes, have significant implications in extracellular matrix degradation associated with tissue damage in inflammation and Rheumatoid arthritis. Numerous orchestrated pathways affects instigation and blockade of metalloproteinases as well as various factors that increase the expression of MMPs including inflammatory cytokines, hormones and growth factors. Direct inhibition of these proteolytic enzymes or modulation of these pathways can provide protection against tissue destruction in inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis. Inclination towards use of plant derived phytochemicals to prevent tissue damage has been increasing day by day. Diversity of phytochemicals have been known to directly inhibit metalloproteinases. Hence, thorough knowledge of phytochemicals is very important in novel drug discovery. METHODS Present communication evaluates various classes of phytochemicals, in effort to unveil the lead molecules as potential therapeutic agents, for prevention of MMPs mediated tissue damage in inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis. Data have been analyzed through different search engines. RESULTS Numerous phytochemicals have been studied for their role as MMPs inhibitors which can be processed further to develop into useful drugs for the treatment of inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis. CONCLUSION In search of new drugs, phytochemicals like flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids, lignans & terpenes offer a wide canvas to develop into valuable forthcoming medicaments.

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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common debilitating disease most prevalent among the elderly population worldwide. Excessive degradation of the articular extracellular matrix is a pivotal event in the development of OA. Preventative treatments against the destruction of type II collagen and aggrecan, the two main components of the articular extracellular matrix, may serve as a novel therapy against the progression of OA. In the current study, we investigated whether the DPP-4 inhibitor alogliptin could prevent degradation of the articular extracellular matrix in human primary chondrocytes. Pretreatment with alogliptin successfully prevented degradation of type II collagen and aggrecan in a dose-dependent manner by reducing increased expression of MMP-1, -3, and -13 as well as ADAMTS-4 and -5 induced by treatment with TNF-α. Furthermore, pretreatment with alogliptin also reduced TNF-α-induced expression of IKKα/β, IκBα and NF-κB in human primary chondrocytes. This suggests that DPP-4 inhibitors such as alogliptin may be used as an effective preventative therapy against continued destruction of the articular extracellular matrix in OA.

Abstract
The genus Scabiosa (family Caprifoliaceae) is considered large (618 scientific plant names of species) although only 62 have accepted Latin binominal names. The majority of the Scabiosa species are widely distributed in the Mediterranean region and some Scabiosa species are used in traditional medicine systems. For instance, Scabiosa columbaria L. is used traditionally against diphtheria while S. comosa Fisch. Ex Roem. and Schult. is used in Mongolian and Tibetan traditional medical settings to treat liver diseases. The richness of Scabiosa species in secondary metabolites such as iridoids, flavonoids and pentacyclic triterpenoids may contribute to its use in folk medicine. Details on the most recent and relevant pharmacological in vivo studies on the bioactive secondary metabolites isolated from Scabiosa species will be summarized and thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to play an important role in the degradation of the extracellular matrix and the pathological progression of osteoarthritis (OA). The natural polyphenolic compound rosmarinic acid (Ros. A) has been shown to suppress the inhibitory activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). However, the effects of Ros. A on OA have not been investigated. METHODS In the current study, primary articular chondrocytes were cultured from rabbit articular cartilage and treated with Ros. A. Phenotypic characterization was performed by western blotting to assess specific markers, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) assays, and alcian blue staining to measure sulfated-proteoglycan production. RESULTS We report that in rabbit articular chondrocytes, Ros. A increased type II collagen, sulfated-proteoglycan, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and PGE2 production in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, Ros. A suppressed the expression of MMP-13. In addition, treatment with Ros A activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1/2 and p38 kinase signaling pathways. Inhibition of MMP-13 enhanced Ros. A-induced type II collagen expression and sulfated-proteoglycan synthesis but COX-2 and PGE2 production were unchanged. Ros. A-mediated up-regulation of ERK phosphorylation was abolished by the MEK inhibitor, PD98059, which prevented induction of the associated inflammatory response. Inhibition of p38 kinase with SB203580 enhanced the increase in type II collagen expression via Ros. A-mediated down-regulation of MMP-13. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that ERK-1/2 regulates Ros. A-induced inflammation and that p38 regulates differentiation by inhibiting MMP-13 in rabbit articular chondrocytes.
