PG - 303 LID - 10.1186/s12951-022-01505-7 [doi] LID - 303 AB - Loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage due to oxidative stress injury is one of the main characteristics of osteoarthritis (OA). As a bioactive molecule derived from the traditional Chinese Burdock, arctiin exerts robust antioxidant properties to modulate redox balance. However, the potential therapeutic effects of arctiin on OA and the underlying mechanisms involved are still unknown. Based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) tool, Burdock-extracted small molecule arctiin was identified as a potential anti-arthritic component. In vitro, treatment using arctiin rescued the interleukin (IL)-1beta-induced activation of proteinases and promoted the cartilage ECM synthesis in human chondrocytes. In vivo, intraperitoneal injection of arctiin ameliorated cartilage erosion and encountered subchondral bone sclerosis in the post-traumatic OA mice. Transcriptome sequencing uncovered that arctiin-enhanced cartilage matrix deposition was associated with restricted oxidative stress. Mechanistically, inhibition of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) abolished arctiin-mediated anti-oxidative and anti-arthritic functions. To further broaden the application prospects, a gellan gum (GG)-based bioactive gel (GG-CD@ARC) encapsulated with arctiin was made to achieve long-term and sustained drug release. Intra-articular injection of GG-CD@ARC counteracted cartilage degeneration in the severe (12 weeks) OA mice model. These findings indicate that arctiin may be a promising anti-arthritic agent. Furthermore, GG-modified bioactive glue loaded with arctiin provides a unique strategy for treating moderate to severe OA. CI - (c) 2022. The Author(s).
