INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis (OA), a leading cause of disability among the elderly, is characterized by progressive joint tissue destruction. Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide with known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, has been investigated for its potential to protect against interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-induced articular tissue damage.
METHODS: Human primary chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts were pre-treated with 100 μg/mL fucoidan before stimulation with 1 ng/mL of IL-1β. The protective effects of fucoidan were assessed by measuring oxidative stress markers and catabolic enzyme levels. These in vitro findings were corroborated using a rat anterior cruciate ligament transection-induced OA model. To explore the underlying mechanisms, particularly the interaction between microRNAs (miRs) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), five candidate miRs were identified in silico and experimentally validated. Luciferase reporter assays were used to confirm direct interactions.
RESULTS: Fucoidan exhibited protective effects against IL-1β-induced oxidative stress and catabolic processes in both chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts, consistent with in vivo observations. Fucoidan treatment restored HO-1 expression while reducing inducible nitric oxide synthase and matrix metalloproteinase levels in IL-1β-stimulated cells. Notably, this study revealed that fucoidan modulates the miR-22/HO-1 pathway, a previously uncharacterized mechanism in OA. Specifically, miR-22 was upregulated by IL-1β and subsequently attenuated by fucoidan. Luciferase reporter assays confirmed a direct interaction between miR-22 and HO-1.
CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that fucoidan mitigates OA-related oxidative stress in chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts through the novel modulation of the miR-22/HO-1 axis. The miR-22/HO-1 pathway represents a crucial therapeutic target for OA, and fucoidan may offer a promising therapeutic intervention.
