OBJECTIVE: Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the osteoarthritis (OA) pathology but how this influence OA disease progression is unclear. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a potent proinflammatory lipid mediator generated from arachidonic acid through the sequential activities of 5-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein, Leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) and its downstream product LTB4. The aim of this study is to investigate the involvement and the potential therapeutic target of the LTB4 pathway in OA disease progression.
DESIGN: Both clinical human cartilage samples (n = 7) and mice experimental OA models (n = 6) were used. The levels of LTA4H and leukotriene B4 receptor 1 were first examined using immunostaining in human OA/non-OA cartilage and mice experimental OA models. We also determined whether the LTA4H pathway was associated with cartilage degeneration and synovitis inflammation in OA mice models and human articular chondrocytes.
RESULTS: We found that both LTA4H and LTB4 receptor (BLT1) were highly expressed in human and mice OA cartilage. Inhibition of LTA4H suppressed cartilage degeneration and synovitis in OA mice model. Furthermore, inhibition of LTA4H promoted cartilage regeneration by upregulating chondrogenic genes expression such as aggrecan (ACAN), collagen 2A1 (COL2A1), and SRY-Box transcription factor 9 (SOX9).
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the LTA4H pathway is a crucial regulator of OA pathogenesis and suggest that LTA4H could be a therapeutic target in combat OA.
