Analgesic effect of S (+)-flurbiprofen plaster in a rat model of knee arthritis: analysis of gait and synovial fluid prostaglandin E2 levels.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:We developed S (+)-flurbiprofen plaster (SFPP), a novel NSAID patch containing S (+)-flurbiprofen (SFP), a potent cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to assess efficacy of SFPP by analysing its effect on the gait disturbance and measuring the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) production in synovial fluid in a rat model of knee arthritis. METHODS:Knee inflammation was induced in rats by intra-articular injection of a yeast suspension. Subsequently, an NSAID patch containing SFP, ketoprofen or loxoprofen was applied over the affected knee. Gait was assessed at 2, 4 and 6 h after application of the patch. The PGE2 concentration in the synovial fluid was measured after the gait assessment. KEY FINDINGS:Application of SFPP (0.125, 0.25, 0.5 or 1 mg/sheet) was followed by a decrease in the visual gait score at all the doses examined. In the case of the other two NSAID patches, only the ketoprofen patch (1 or 2 mg/sheet) and loxoprofen patch (5 mg/sheet) produced a decrease in the visual gait score. All of the NSAID patches decreased the PGE2 production in the synovial fluid. CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest the potential usefulness of SFPP as an analgesic patch in patients with inflammatory joint pain.

Project description:Surgical transection of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the porcine model leads to posttraumatic osteoarthritis if left untreated. However, a recently developed surgical treatment, bridge-enhanced ACL repair, prevents further cartilage damage. Since the synovial fluid bathes all the intrinsic structures of knee, we reasoned that a comparative analysis of synovial fluid protein contents could help to better understand the observed chondroprotective effects of the bridge-enhanced ACL repair. We hypothesized that post-surgical changes in the synovial fluid proteome would be different in the untreated and repaired knees, and those changes would correlate with the degree of cartilage damage. Thirty adolescent Yucatan mini-pigs underwent unilateral ACL transection and were randomly assigned to either no further treatment (ACLT, n = 14) or bridge-enhanced ACL repair (BEAR, n = 16). We used an isotopically labeled high resolution LC MS/MS-based proteomics approach to analyze the protein profile of synovial fluid at 6 and 12 months after ACL transection in untreated and repaired porcine knees. A linear mixed effect model was used to compare the normalized protein abundance levels between the groups at each time point. Bivariate linear regression analyses were used to assess the correlations between the macroscopic cartilage damage (total lesion area) and normalized abundance levels of each of the identified secreted proteins. There were no significant differences in cartilage lesion area or quantitative abundance levels of the secreted proteins between the ACLT and BEAR groups at 6 months. However, by 12 months, greater cartilage damage was seen in the ACLT group compared to the BEAR group (p = 0.005). This damage was accompanied by differences in the abundance levels of secreted proteins, with higher levels of Vitamin K-dependent protein C (p = 0.001), and lower levels of Apolipoprotein A4 (p = 0.021) and Cartilage intermediate layer protein 1 (p = 0.049) in the ACLT group compared to the BEAR group. There were also group differences in the secreted proteins that significantly changed in abundance between 6 and 12 months in ACLT and BEAR knees. Increased concentration of Ig lambda-1 chain C regions and decreased concentration of Hemopexin, Clusterin, Coagulation factor 12 and Cartilage intermediate layer protein 1 were associated with greater cartilage lesion area. In general, ACLT knees had higher concentrations of pro-inflammatory proteins and lower concentrations of anti-inflammatory proteins than BEAR group. In addition, the ACLT group had a lower and declining synovial concentrations of CILP, in contrast to a consistently high abundance of CILP in repaired knees. These differences suggest that the knees treated with bridge-enhanced ACL repair may be maintaining an environment that is more protective of the extracellular matrix, a function which is not seen in the ACLT knees.
