Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Platelet-Rich Plasm and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) promote human chondrocyte regeneration in vitro and ESWT-mediated increase of CD44 expression enhances their susceptibility to HA treatment.

ABSTRACT: Novel strategies have been proposed for articular cartilage damage occurring during osteoarthritis (OA) and -among these- Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), intra-articular injections of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or Hyaluronic Acid (HA) revealed encouraging results. To investigate the possible mechanisms responsible for those clinical benefits, we established primary cultures of human chondrocytes derived from cartilage explants and measured the in vitro effects of ESW, PRP and HA therapies. After molecular/morphological cell characterization, we assessed those effects on the functional activities of the chondrocyte cell cultures, at the protein and molecular levels. ESWT significantly prevented the progressive dedifferentiation that spontaneously occurs during prolonged chondrocyte culture. We then attested the efficiency of all such treatments to stimulate the expression of markers of chondrogenic potential such as SOX9 and COL2A, to increase the Ki67 proliferation index as well as to antagonize the traditional marker of chondrosenescence p16INK4a (known as Cdkn2a). Furthermore, all our samples showed an ESW- and HA-mediated enhancement of migratory and anti-inflammatory activity onto the cytokine-rich environment characterizing OA. Taken together, those results suggest a regenerative effect of such therapies on primary human chondrocytes in vitro. Moreover, we also show for the first time that ESW treatment induces the surface expression of major hyaluronan cell receptor CD44 allowing the increase of COL2A/COL1A ratio upon HA administration. Therefore, this work suggests that ESW-induced CD44 overexpression enhances the in vitro cell susceptibility of human chondrocytes to HA, presumably favouring the repair of degenerated cartilage.

Project description:BackgroundSpasticity is one of the manifestations of motor dysfunction in upper motor neuron syndrome, which is characterized by increased muscle tone. Spasticity seriously affects the motor function and activity of daily life of patients. Some studies have shown that extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can relieve spasticity in recent years. However, the effectiveness and safety of ESWT on spasticity after motor neuron injury have not been confirmed. The purpose of this systematic review (SR) is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ESWT on spasticity after upper motor neuron injury.MethodsWe will search China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP), Wan Fang Data, China Biology Medicine (CBM), PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science systematically from their inception dates through October 2019 to obtain randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using ESWT to relieve spasticity in patients after upper motor neuron injury. The primary outcome will be the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). Secondary outcomes will include Composite Spasticity Scale (CSS), Spasm Frequency Scale, Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS), electrophysiological study (ratio of maximum H reflex to maximum M response, root mean square value, integrated electromyogram, co-contraction ratio, etc.), or other spasticity-related outcomes. In addition, adverse events will also be assessed as safety measurement. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment will be performed independently by 2 reviewers. Assessment of risk of bias and data synthesis will be performed using Review Manager software (RevMan, version 5.3.5) and R (version 3.6.1) software.ResultsWe will synthesize current studies to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ESWT on spasticity after upper motor neuron injury.ConclusionOur study will provide evidence of ESWT on spasticity after upper motor neuron injury.Ethics and disseminationThe ethical approval is not required since SR is based on published studies. The results of this SR will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal according to the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.Prospero registration numberCRD42019131059.
