Comparisons of Cytokines, Growth Factors and Clinical Efficacy between Platelet-Rich Plasma and Autologous Conditioned Serum for Knee Osteoarthritis Management.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to directly compare the contents and the clinical efficacy of the two autologous blood-derived products, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and autologous conditioned serum (ACS) for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. The contents of standard-prepared PRP and ACS prepared at 37 °C for 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, and 24 h from healthy volunteers were compared. The clinical efficacy of pain relief in patients with Stage III knee OA was evaluated by a patient-reported visual analog scale (VAS) pain rating. PDGF-BB levels in ACS 1 h were significantly higher than those in PRP, and the levels in ACS preparations remained stable. IGF-1 level of ACS 24 h showed a significant increase compared to those of other ACS preparations and PRP. ACS 3 h showed a turning of IL-1Ra level and revealed a time-dependent increase up to 24 h. ACS 6 h showed a turning increase in TNF-α levels. ACS 3 h was chosen for clinical comparison with PRP. The reduction in pain VAS in the ACS group was significantly more compared to those of the PRP group (p = 0.028). However, PRP showed significant earlier improvement (p < 0.001). Conclusion: ACS contained higher levels of PDGF-BB and IL-1Ra and provided better improvement in pain relief compared to PRP.

Project description:BackgroundKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, chronic, progressive and degenerative disease which affects patients' quality of life and may cause disability and social isolation. OA is a huge economic burden for the patient and a large strain for the whole healthcare system. Articular cartilage has a small potential to repair, with progressively more clinicians emphasizing cellular therapy. Subcutaneous fat tissue in human body is a large reservoir of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and is been harvested in minimally invasive, simple procedure. Up to date there is no prospective randomized controlled studies demonstrating effectiveness and role of adipose tissue injections in OA treatment. The purpose of this study is to assess functional and clinical changes among patients with symptomatic knee OA treated with intra-articular injections of autologous adipose tissue or platelet rich plasma (PRP) and to compare efficacy of both therapeutic methods.MethodsThis is a prospective, randomized, controlled study. Patients who meet inclusion criteria will be allocated to Fat Tissue group or PRP group randomly. Subjects will receive an intra articular injection with autologous adipose tissue and PRP respectively. Patients will be assessed five times: before treatment and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment. The assessment consists of patient reported outcome measures (The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, International Knee Documentation Committee 2000, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, the Health Questionnaire EQ- 5D- 5 L), three functional tests (The Timed Up and Go Test, The 5 Times Sit to Stand Test, The 10 m Walk Test) and Maximal Isometric Voluntary Contraction.DiscussionThis study protocol has several strengths and weaknesses. One of strongest point of this study is the wide, multidimensional functional assessment which will give a large amount of objective data. On the other hand, lack of blinding has to be considered as a risk of both subject and investigator bias.Trial registrationname of registry: ClinicalTrials.gov, trial registration number: NCT04321629, retrospectively registered on date of registration.
