Résumé

In a previous study, the 84-day administration of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), with or without native collagen type II (NC), in an osteoarthritis (OA)-induced rabbit model slowed down OA progression, improved several micro- and macroscopic parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers in cartilage, and increased hyaluronic acid levels in synovial fluid. To elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms, a transcriptomics approach was conducted using medial femoral condyle and trochlea samples. The administration of chondroitin sulfate (CS), glucosamine hydrochloride (GlHCl), and hyaluronic acid (HA), with (CGH-NC) or without (CGH) NC, strongly modulated several genes involved in chondrocyte extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and homeostasis when compared to non-treated rabbits (CTR group). Notably, both treatments shared the main mechanism of action, which was related to ECM modulation through the down-regulation of genes encoding proteolytic enzymes, such as ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 9 (Adamts9), and the overexpression of genes with a relevant role in the synthesis of ECM components, such as aggrecan (Acan) in both CGH-NC and CGH groups, and fibronectin 1 (Fn1) and collagen type II, alpha 1 (Col2A1) in the CGH group. Furthermore, there was a significant modulation at the gene expression level of the mTOR signaling pathway, which is associated with the regulation of the synthesis of ECM proteolytic enzymes, only in CGH-NC-supplemented rabbits. This modulation could account for the better outcomes concerning the microscopic and macroscopic evaluations reported in these animals. In conclusion, the expression of key genes involved in chondrocyte ECM remodeling and homeostasis was significantly modulated in rabbits in response to both CGH and CGH-NC treatments, which would partly explain the mechanisms by which these therapies exert beneficial effects against OA.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
In a previous study, the 84-day administration of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), with or without native collagen type II (NC), in an osteoarthritis (OA)-induced rabbit model slowed down OA progression, improved several micro- and macroscopic parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers in cartilage, and increased hyaluronic acid levels in synovial fluid. To elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms, a transcriptomics approach was conducted using medial femoral condyle and trochlea samples.
RESULTS RESULTS
The administration of chondroitin sulfate (CS), glucosamine hydrochloride (GlHCl), and hyaluronic acid (HA), with (CGH-NC) or without (CGH) NC, strongly modulated several genes involved in chondrocyte extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and homeostasis when compared to non-treated rabbits (CTR group). Notably, both treatments shared the main mechanism of action, which was related to ECM modulation through the down-regulation of genes encoding proteolytic enzymes, such as ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 9 (Adamts9), and the overexpression of genes with a relevant role in the synthesis of ECM components, such as aggrecan (Acan) in both CGH-NC and CGH groups, and fibronectin 1 (Fn1) and collagen type II, alpha 1 (Col2A1) in the CGH group. Furthermore, there was a significant modulation at the gene expression level of the mTOR signaling pathway, which is associated with the regulation of the synthesis of ECM proteolytic enzymes, only in CGH-NC-supplemented rabbits. This modulation could account for the better outcomes concerning the microscopic and macroscopic evaluations reported in these animals.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, the expression of key genes involved in chondrocyte ECM remodeling and homeostasis was significantly modulated in rabbits in response to both CGH and CGH-NC treatments, which would partly explain the mechanisms by which these therapies exert beneficial effects against OA.
