Bromodomain-containing protein 4 inhibition alleviates matrix degradation by enhancing autophagy and suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activity in NP cells.
Imbalance between matrix synthesis and degradation is the hallmark of the degeneration of the intervertebral disc while contributing inflammatory cytokine imbalance. Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family associated with the pathogenesis of inflammation, and inhibition of BRD4, an important member of the family BET, play an anti-inflammatory role in many diseases.
However, it remains elusive whether BRD4 play the same role in the nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and participates in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration. The purpose of this study to examine whether inhibition of BRD4 matrix regulate metabolism by controlling autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome activity. In addition, it investigated the relationship between nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) signaling, autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome in NP cells.
Here, real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot analysis and GFP-LC3 adenoviral vector transduction in vitro were used, and it was revealed that BRD4 inhibition of matrix degradation and enhance ease of autophagy in the presence or absence of tumor necrosis factor α. In addition, p65 knockdown or treatment with JQ1 and Bay11-7082 indicate that inhibition of BRD4 NLRP3 inflammasome activity weakened through NF-kB signaling, while autophagy inhibition by bafilomycin A1 promoted matrix degradation and cell activity in the NP NLRP3 inflammasome.
In addition, the analysis of RNA expression in tissues BRD4 human NP further verified BRD4 destructive functions. Simply, BRD4 inhibition of matrix degradation Easing by increasing autophagy and suppress the activity of NLRP3 inflammasome through the NF-kB signaling in cells NP.
Bromodomain-containing protein 4 inhibition alleviates matrix degradation by enhancing autophagy and suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activity in NP cells.
Links N Pressing interleukin-1β-induced biological effects in human osteoarthritic cartilage.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a diarthrodial joint disease associated with proteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix under conditions of inflammation, pain and disability. Currently, no therapies to prevent, reverse or modulate the course of disease. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of regenerative Link N (LN) in human OA cartilage in inflammatory environment and determine whether the LN can influence the behavior associated pain in OA knee injury model rats. Osteo-chondro explants OA and OA chondrocytes treated with LN in the presence of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) to simulate the environment of osteoarthritic.
Von Frey quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting was performed to determine the effect of LN on matrix protein synthesis, catabolic enzymes, cytokines and nerve growth factor expression. Partial medial meniscectomy (PMM) was performed on the knee C57BL / 6 mice and, 12 weeks post-surgery, the rats were given 5 mg of intra-articular injection of LN or phosphate-buffered saline. A von Frey test carried out for 24 hours to measure the mechanical allodynia in the hind legs.
LN modulated proteoglycans and collagen synthesis in human OA cartilage by inhibiting the biological effects of IL-1β-induced. LN also suppressed the upregulation of IL-1β-induced cartilage-degrading enzymes and inflammatory molecules in OA chondrocytes. After an investigation of the canonical signaling pathway of IL-1β and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer activated B cells (NF-kB), LN resulted in significantly inhibit NF-kB activation in a dose-dependent manner.

In addition, the LN suppressed mechanical allodynia in a rat model of OA PMM. The results support the concept that administration of LN can provide potential therapy in OA.
