Abstract
En 中文
Nitric oxide (NO) and the lipid peroxidation (LPO) product 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) are considered to be key mediators of cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis (OA). NO is also known to be an important intermediary in LPO initiation through peroxynitrite formation. The aim of the present study was to assess the ability of the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) inhibitor N-iminoethyl-L-lysine (L-NIL) to prevent HNE generation via NO suppression in human OA chondrocytes and cartilage explants. Human OA chondrocytes and cartilage explants were treated with L-NIL and thereafter with or without interleukin-1beta (IL-1 beta) or HNE at cytotoxic or non-cytotoxic concentrations. Parameters related to oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and catabolism were investigated. L-NIL stifled IL-1 beta-induced NO release, iNOS activity, nitrated proteins, and HNE generation in a dose-dependent manner. It also blocked IL-1 beta-induced inactivation of the HNE-metabolizing glutathione-s-transferase (GST). L-NIL restored both HNE and GSTA4-4 levels in OA cartilage explants. Interestingly, it also abolished IL-1 beta-evoked reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and p47 NADPH oxidase activation. Furthermore, L-NIL significantly attenuated cell death and markers of apoptosis elicited by exposure to a cytotoxic dose of HNE as well as the release of prostaglandin E2 and metalloproteinase-13 induced by a non-cytotoxic dose of HNE. Altogether, our findings support a beneficial effect of L-NIL in OA by (i) preventing the LPO process and ROS production via NO-dependent and/or independent mechanisms and (ii) attenuating HNE-induced cell death and different mediators of cartilage damage.
