Andrographolide Exerts Chondroprotective Activity in Equine Cartilage Explant and Suppresses Interleukin-1 ? -Induced MMP-2 Expression in Equine Chondrocyte Culture.

ABSTRACT: Cartilage erosion in degenerative joint diseases leads to lameness in affected horses. It has been reported that andrographolide from Andrographis paniculata inhibited cartilage matrix-degrading enzymes. This study aimed to explore whether this compound protects equine cartilage degradation in the explant culture model and to determine its effect on matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression, a matrix-degrading enzyme, in equine chondrocyte culture. Equine articular cartilage explant culture was induced by 25?ng/mL interleukin-1?, a key inducer of cartilage degeneration, in cultures with or without andrographolide ranging from 10 to 50??M. After 3-21 days, they were analyzed for the markers of cartilage degradation. It was found that interleukin-1? increased the release of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronan from the explants into the culture media consistently with the decrease in uronic acid and collagen content in the cartilage explants. These catabolic effects were inhibited when cotreated with interleukin-1? and andrographolide. In primary equine chondrocytes, andrographolide suppressed interleukin-1?-induced MMP-2 mRNA expression and MMP-2 activity in the culture medium. These results confirmed the in vitro potent chondroprotective activities of this compound which were performed in cartilage explants and on a cellular level. These may indicate the application of andrographolide for therapeutic use in equine degenerative joint diseases.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related degenerative musculoskeletal disease characterised by loss of articular cartilage, synovitis, abnormal bone proliferation and subchondral bone sclerosis. The underlying pathogenesis of OA is yet to be fully elucidated with no OA specific biomarkers in clinical use. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS) allow identification of the global metabolome and proteome respectively. During this study, ex-vivo equine cartilage explants (n=5) were incubated in TNF-α/IL-1β supplemented culture media for 8 days, with media removed and replaced at 2, 5 and 8 days. Acetonitrile metabolite extractions of 8 day cartilage explants and media samples at all time points underwent 1H NMR metabolic analysis with media samples also undergoing MS proteomic analysis. Within the cartilage, metabolites glucose and lysine were elevated following TNF-α/IL-1β treatment whilst adenosine, alanine, betaine, creatine, myo-inositol and uridine levels decreased. Within the culture media, four, four and six metabolites were identified as being differentially abundant between control and treatment groups for 1-2 day, 3-5 day and 6-8 day time points respectively. Culture media proteomics identified 154, 138 and 72 proteins differentially abundant, with > 2 fold change, between control and treatment groups for 1-2 day, 3-5 day and 6-8 day time points respectively. Nine potential novel OA neopeptides were elevated in treated media. This is the first study to use a multi ‘omics’ approach to simultaneously investigate the metabolomic profile of ex-vivo cartilage and metabolomic/proteomic profiles of culture media using the TNF-α/IL-1β ex-vivo OA cartilage model. This study has identified a panel of metabolites, proteins and extracellular matrix derived neopeptides which are differentially abundant during an early phase of the OA model which may provide further information on underlying disease pathogenesis, allow potential translation for clinical markers and possible novel therapeutic targets.
