The p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, SB 242235, was evaluated for its effects on the metabolism of bovine and human cartilage and primary chondrocyte cultures. SB 242235 had no effect on proteoglycan synthesis (PG) in bovine articular cartilage explants (BAC), as measured by [(35)S]-sulfate incorporation into glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). In addition, the compound had no effect on IL-1 alpha-induced GAG release from these cultures. However, there was a potent, dose-dependent inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) release from IL-1 alpha-stimulated BAC with an IC(50)of approximately 0.6 microM, with similar effects observed in primary chondrocytes. The effect on BAC was time dependent, and mechanistically did not appear to be the result of inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC), protein kinase A (PKA) or MEK-1. The effect on NO release in bovine chondrocytes was at the level of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression, which was inhibited at similar concentrations as nitrite production. In primary human chondrocytes, IL-1 beta induction of p38 MAP kinase was inhibited by SB 242235 with an IC(50)of approximately 1 microM. Surprisingly, however, treatment of IL-beta-stimulated human cartilage or chondrocytes with SB 242235 did not inhibit either NO production or the induction of iNOS. On the other hand, the natural product hymenialdisine (HYM), a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor, inhibited NO production and iNOS in both species. In contrast to the differential control of iNOS, PGE(2)was inhibited by SB 242235 in both IL-1-stimulated bovine and human chondrocyte cultures. These studies indicate that there are species differences in the control of iNOS by p38 inhibitors and also that different pathways may control IL-1-induced proteoglycan breakdown and NO production. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of adenosine kinase inhibition on interleukin (IL)-1beta- and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cartilage damage. DESIGN: Articular cartilage was obtained from the metacarpophalangeal joints of 10 young adult horses. Following a stabilization period, weighed cartilage explants were exposed to IL-1beta (10 ng/ml) or LPS (50 microg/ml) to induce cartilage degradation. To test the potential protective effects of adenosine, these explants were simultaneously exposed to adenosine (100 microM), the adenosine kinase inhibitor 5'iodotubercidin (ITU, 1 microM) or to both adenosine and ITU. After 72 h in culture, conditioned medium was collected for evaluation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG), nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 release. RESULTS: IL-1beta and LPS stimulated significant release of GAG, NO, PGE2 and MMP-3. Incubation with ITU significantly inhibited both IL-1beta- and LPS-induced GAG release, but did not alter MMP-3 production. Exposure to ITU also reduced IL-1beta-induced PGE2 release and LPS-induced NO production. Direct adenosine supplementation did not attenuate the effects of IL-1beta or LPS, and the addition of adenosine or ITU in the absence of IL-1beta or LPS did not have any detectable effect on cartilage metabolism in this model. CONCLUSIONS: The adenosine kinase inhibitor ITU attenuated experimentally induced cartilage damage in an in vitro cartilage explant model. Release of adenosine from chondrocytes may play a role in the cellular response to tissue damage in arthritic conditions and modulation of these pathways in the joint may have potential for treatment of arthropathies. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) stimulates collagenase-1 (Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)) expression in articular chondrocytes, leading to cleavage of type II collagen and irreversible cartilage degradation. The nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) pathway is potently activated in IL-1beta-stimulated cells and has been implicated as an intermediate in MMP-1 gene expression. However, the roles of individual NF-kappaB family members during IL-1beta-induced MMP-1 gene expression have not been defined. RESULTS: To address the relationship between the NF-kappaB pathway and MMP-1 gene activation in chondrocytes, primary cultured human articular chondrocyte cultures (HAC) and SW-1353 cells were stimulated with IL-1beta over a 24-h time course and MMP-1, NF-kappaB1, NF-kappaB2 and RelA gene expression was assayed. IL-1beta-induced MMP-1 expression was comparable in HAC and SW-1353 cells both temporally and quantitatively. MMP-1 gene expression was mirrored by increases in NF-kappaB gene expression, and inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear translocation with dominant-negative IkappaBalpha reduced IL-1beta-dependent MMP-1 gene expression. IL-1beta activated the NF-kappaB pathway in chondrocytes, both through phosphorylation and transient degradation of IkappaBalpha, as well as through sustained phosphorylation of RelA. Small inhibitory RNAs (siRNA) specific for RelA resulted in significant reduction of MMP-1 mRNA, whereas siRNA for NF-kappaB1 and NF-kappaB2 augmented IL-1beta-induced MMP-1 expression. CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate that IL-1beta activation of the NF-kappaB pathway is required for IL-1beta induction of MMP-1 in chondrocytes and that RelA can work independently of NF-kappaB1 or NF-kappaB2 to activate this gene expression program. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Enhanced extracellular levels of adenosine have been shown to inhibit experimentally induced cartilage degradation. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of adenosine and A(2)adenosine receptors in regulating cartilage homeostasis in the absence of inflammatory stimuli. METHODS: Cartilage explants were exposed to adenosine deaminase (ADA) to deplete extracellular adenosine, and conditioned medium was collected for evaluation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG), prostaglandin E(2)(PGE(2)), nitric oxide (NO), and matrix metalloproteinases-3 and -13 (MMP-3, MMP-13) levels. In a second set of experiments, cartilage incubated with ADA was simultaneously exposed to the adenosine kinase inhibitor 5'-iodotubercidin (ITU) to inhibit adenosine breakdown, or to the A(2A)adenosine receptor agonist N(6)-[2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-ethyl]adenosine (DPMA). Finally, explants were incubated with the adenosine receptor antagonists ZM241385, CGS15943, theophylline or caffeine to block normal receptor activation by endogenous adenosine. RESULTS: Exposure to ADA induced a concentration-dependent increase in GAG release and production of total MMP-3, MMP-13, PGE(2), and NO. Both ITU and DPMA inhibited the ADA-mediated increases in GAG release and PGE(2), and NO production, but only ITU inhibited MMP-13 release. Exposure to ZM 241385 increased GAG, MMP-3 and MMP-13 release. Additionally, CGS 15943 increased MMP-3 production while theophylline increased GAG, PGE(2), and NO release. CONCLUSIONS: Endogenous adenosine levels appear to regulate cartilage matrix homeostasis even in the absence of inflammation. Regulation occurs, at least in part, through activation of cell surface receptors. This study suggests that autocrine and paracrine responses to adenosine release are important for maintenance of healthy articular cartilage. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the in vitro effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on neonatal rat chondrocytes. DESIGN: Chondrocytes isolated from neonatal rat cartilage were cultured in three-dimensionally agarose beads and were treated with DHEA. METHODS: Primary culture of chondrocytes was harvested from newborn Wistar rats. The DHEA effects on chondrocyte activities were evaluated by analyzing chondrocyte proliferation, matrix protein synthesis, gene expressions of collagen, matrix metalloproteinase-1, -3 and -13 (MMP-1, -3 and -13), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-II), and protein synthesis of interleukin-6 (IL-6), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). RESULTS: The DHEA treatment did affect chondrocyte proliferation and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis. DHEA suppressed the expression of MMP-1, -3 and -13 genes and PGE2 protein synthesis enhanced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) while the COX-II and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expressions were down-regulated by DHEA. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that DHEA has an ability to modulate the imbalance between MMPs and PGE2 in the neonatal chondrocytes which suggest that it has a potential protective role against articular cartilage damage. 相似文献

Destruction of collagen within osteoarthritic cartilage depends in part on collagen-degrading matrix metalloproteases (MMP). Degradative fragments of type II collagen (Col II) occur in normal and in osteoarthritic cartilage, and may contribute to regulation of matrix turnover by interfering with normal cell-matrix communication pathways. Therefore, the effects of different types of collagen fragments on mRNA and protein levels of MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 in cultured bovine articular knee chondrocytes and explants were examined. Primary chondrocytes and explants were incubated with fragments from whole cartilage collagen matrix (Colf) and from purified type II collagen (Col2f), or with a synthetic 29-mer peptide representing the amino-terminal domain of type II collagen (Ntelo). Gelatin zymography revealed increases of proMMP-2, a shift towards active MMP-2 and increases in proMMP-9, depending on the type of fragment. In situ hybridization of cartilage sections displayed MMP-3 mRNA in virtually all cells. Moderate to strong increases in MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 mRNA levels were detected by quantitative PCR. The results demonstrate stimulating effects of collagen fragments on both mRNA and/or protein from MMP -2, -3, -9, and -13, and suggest a novel mechanism of MMP induction and activation that includes a particular role for N-telo in controlling catabolic pathways of matrix turnover. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the best protocol for the preparation of a tissue-engineered cartilage to investigate the potential anti-arthritic and/or anti-osteoarthritic effects of drugs. METHODS: Calf articular chondrocytes, seeded in collagen sponges were grown in culture for up to 1 month. At day 14 cultures received interleukin (IL)-1beta (ranging from 0.1 to 20 ng/ml) for 1 to 3 days. Analyses of gene expression for extracellular matrix proteins, collagen-binding integrins, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), aggrecanases, TIMPs, IL-1Ra and Ikappa-Balpha were carried out using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Metalloproteinase activities were analysed in the culture medium using both zymography and fluorogenic peptide substrates. RESULTS: We selected a culture for 15 or 17 days with collagen sponges seeded with 10(7) chondrocytes showing a minimal cell proliferation, a maximal sulphated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) deposition and a high expression of COL2A1, aggrecan and the alpha10 integrin sub-unit and low expression of COL1A2 and the alpha11 integrin sub-unit. In the presence of 1 ng/ml IL-1beta, we observed at day 15 up-regulations of 450-fold for MMP-1, 60-fold for MMP-13, 54-fold for ADAMTS-4 and MMP-3 and 10-fold for ADAMTS-5 and IL-1Ra. Down-regulations of 2.5-fold for COL2A1 and aggrecan were observed only at day 17. At the protein level a dose-dependent increase of total MMP-1 and MMP-13 was noted with less than 15% in the active form. CONCLUSIONS: This in vitro model of chondrocyte culture in three dimensional (3D) seems well adapted to investigate the responses of these cells to inflammatory cytokines and to evaluate the potential anti-inflammatory effects of drugs. 相似文献

Nitric oxide modulates expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in rat mesangial cells. BACKGROUND: High-output levels of nitric oxide (NO) are produced by rat mesangial cells (MCs) in response to proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by the inducible isoform of NO synthase (iNOS). We tested modulatory effects of NO on the expression and activities of matrix metalloproteinases-9 and -2 (MMP-9 and MMP-2), respectively. Temporal and spatial expression of these MMPs and their specific inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), seems to be critical in the extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling that accompanies sclerotic processes of the mesangium. Methods and Results. Using the NO donors S-Nitroso-N-acetyl-D,L-penicillamine (SNAP) and DETA-NONOate, we found strong inhibitory effects of NO mainly on the IL-1beta-induced MMP-9 mRNA levels. NO on its own had only weak effects on the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-2. The addition of the NOS inhibitor NG-monomethyl L-arginine (L-NMMA) dose dependently increased steady-state mRNA levels of cytokine-induced MMP-9, suggesting that endogenously produced NO exerts tonic inhibition of MMP-9 expression. MMP-9 activity in conditioned media from MCs costimulated with IL-1beta and NO donor contained less gelatinolytic activity than media of cells treated with IL-1beta alone. Exogenously added NO did not alter gelatinolytic activity of MMP-9 in cell-free zymographs. The expression levels of TIMP-1 were affected by NO similarly to the expression of MMP-9. CONCLUSION: We conclude that NO modulates cytokine-mediated expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in rat MCs in culture. Our results provide evidence that NO-mediated attenuation of MMP-9 gelatinolytic activity is primarily due to a reduced expression of MMP-9 mRNA, and not the result of direct inhibition of enzymatic activity. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To determine the in vitro effects of oxygen tension on interleukin (IL)-1beta induced nitric oxide (*NO) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production by bovine chondrocytes. DESIGN: Enzymatically isolated bovine chondrocytes were cultured for different periods in suspension in 21 (atmospheric), 5 or 1% (low) oxygen tension and in the absence or in the presence of increased amounts (0.01 to 1nM) of IL-1beta. Nitrite and nitrate concentrations in the culture supernatants were determined by a spectrophotometric method based upon the Griess reaction. PGE(2) production was quantified by a specific radioimmunoassay (RIA). Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA steady state levels were also quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: In the absence of IL-1beta, ()NO production remained stable whatever the oxygen tension used. IL-1beta dose-dependently increased *NO production in both atmospheric and low oxygen conditions but the effect was more pronounced in low (1 and 5%) than in atmospheric (21%) oxygen tension (P<0.001). Under low and atmospheric oxygen tension, iNOS gene expression was increased by IL-1beta, but to a lesser extent in 21% than in 1 or 5% oxygen (P<0.01). In the basal condition, bovine chondrocytes spontaneously produced PGE(2) whatever the oxygen tension used. At 21% oxygen, IL-1beta dose-dependently increased PGE(2) production while no significant effect was observed at 1 or 5% oxygen. COX-2 gene expression was significantly upregulated by IL-1beta in both low and atmospheric oxygen tension. No significant difference between oxygen tension conditions was observed. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that a hypoxic environment fully blocks COX-2 activity but favours iNOS gene expression in chondrocytes culture. These findings indicate that O(2) tension modulates cellular behaviour in culture and supports the concept of chondrocyte culture in low oxygen tension to reproduce in vitro the life conditions of chondrocytes. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) appears to be a final common inflammation mediator of cartilage degradation. Halting the pathological formation of excessive NO, by suppressing the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activity, may help to preserve cartilage integrity. We used fresh ex-vivo human articular cartilage explants from normal and arthrotic joints for assessment of NO levels, as determined by its nitrite degradation products and nitric oxide synthase expression. We measured matrix proteoglycan content, assessed by image analysis of alcian blue staining, and proteoglycan synthesis, assessed by sulfate incorporation into proteoglycans. The effect of methylene blue, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, on matrix preservation was evaluated. Cartilage discs in vitro, derived from normal appearing joints, secreted about one tenth as much NO compared to discs derived from arthrotic cartilage. Cartilage explants showed a time-dependent reduction in the amount of aggrecan within the cartilaginous matrix. Addition of methylene blue to the growth medium lowered nitric oxide accumulation and prevented matrix degradation in the cultured cartilage discs. The cartilage matrix preservation effect was mediated through downregulation of all three isoforms of NOS, i.e., the neuronal NOS, endothelial NOS and inducible NOS and upregulation of TGF beta receptor in the chondrocytes. Our findings indicate that inhibition of NOS activity preserves cartilage matrix in vitro. 相似文献
