Molecular Fingerprint of Human Pathological Synoviocytes in Response to Extractive Sulfated and Biofermentative Unsulfated Chondroitins
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES(2022)
摘要
Pharma-grade extractive chondroitin sulfate (CS) is widely used for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. Recently, unsulfated biofermentative chondroitin (BC) proved positive effects in OA in vitro model. This study, based on primary pathological human synoviocytes, aimed to analyze, by a multiplex assay, a panel of OA-related biomarkers in response to short-term treatments with bovine (CSb), pig (CSp) and fish (CSf) chondroitins, in comparison to BC. As expected, all samples had anti-inflammatory properties, however CSb, CSf and especially BC affected more cytokines and chemokines. Based on these results and molecular weight similarity, CSf and BC were selected to further explore the synoviocytes' response. In fact, Western blot analyses showed CSf and BC were comparable, downregulating OA-related biomarkers such as the proteins mTOR, NF-kB, PTX-3 and COMP-2. Proteomic analyses, performed by applying a nano-LC-MS/MS TMT isobaric labelling-based approach, displayed the modulation of both common and distinct molecules to chondroitin treatments. Thus, CSf and BC modulated the biological mediators involved in the inflammation cascade, matrix degradation/remodeling, glycosaminoglycans' synthesis and cellular homeostasis. This study helps in shedding light on different molecular mechanisms related to OA disease that may be potentially affected not only by animal-source chondroitin sulfate but also by unsulfated biofermentative chondroitin.
