Triamcinolone acetonide-loaded nanoparticles encapsulated by CD90⁺ MCSs-derived microvesicles drive anti-inflammatory properties and promote cartilage regeneration after osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent human degenerative joint disorder that has long plagued patients. Glucocorticoid injection into the intra-articular (IA) cavity provides potential short-term analgesia and anti-inflammatory effects, but long-term IA injections cause loss of cartilage. Synovial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reportedly promote cartilage proliferation and increase cartilage content.

Methods

CD90⁺ MCS-derived micro-vesicle (CD90@MV)-coated nanoparticle (CD90@NP) was developed. CD90⁺ MCSs were extracted from human synovial tissue. Cytochalasin B (CB) relaxed the interaction between the cytoskeleton and the cell membranes of the CD90⁺ MCSs, stimulating CD90@MV secretion. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle was coated with CD90@MV, and a model glucocorticoid, triamcinolone acetonide (TA), was encapsulated in the CD90@NP (T-CD90@NP). The chondroprotective effect of T-CD90@NP was validated in rabbit and rat OA models.

Results

The CD90@MV membrane proteins were similar to that of CD90⁺ MCSs, indicating that CD90@MV bio-activity was similar to the cartilage proliferation-inducing CD90⁺ MCSs. CD90@NP binding to injured primary cartilage cells was significantly stronger than to erythrocyte membrane-coated nanoparticles (RNP). In the rabbit OA model, the long-term IA treatment with T-CD90@NP showed significantly enhanced repair of damaged cartilage compared to TA and CD90⁺ MCS treatments. In the rat OA model, the short-term IA treatment with T-CD90@NP showed effective anti-inflammatory ability similar to that of TA treatment. Moreover, the long-term IA treatment with T-CD90@NP induced cartilage to restart the cell cycle and reduced cartilage apoptosis. T-CD90@NP promoted the regeneration of chondrocytes, reduced apoptosis via the FOXO pathway, and influenced type 2 macrophage polarization to regulate inflammation through IL-10.

Conclusion

This study confirmed that T-CD90@NP promoted chondrocyte proliferation and anti-inflammation, improving the effects of a clinical glucocorticoid treatment plan.

Project description:BackgroundIntra-articular corticosteroids are commonly used for pain relief in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Simultaneous intra-articular corticosteroid (CS) knee injections may be beneficial for the ~80-90% of patients who present with, or develop, bilateral knee osteoarthritis, but concurrent injections may increase systemic CS exposure and data on safety/tolerability are lacking. Triamcinolone acetonide extended release (TA-ER) has shown decreased systemic triamcinolone acetonide exposure compared with traditional triamcinolone acetonide crystalline suspension (TAcs) after a single knee injection in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This phase IIa study was designed to assess the safety and systemic triamcinolone acetonide exposure following injections of TA-ER or TAcs into each knee of patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis.MethodsPatients (⩾40 years) meeting American College of Rheumatology criteria for knee osteoarthritis in both knees received concurrent single intra-articular injections of TA-ER 32 mg or TAcs 40 mg into each knee (total: 64 mg and 80 mg, respectively) and were followed for 6 weeks. Safety was evaluated based on treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were collected pre-injection, and at the following postinjection time points: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 h, and days 8, 15, 29, and 43.ResultsBaseline characteristics were balanced between patients randomly assigned to TA-ER (n = 12) or TAcs (n = 12). Both treatments were well tolerated with comparable TEAE profiles. Peak plasma triamcinolone acetonide concentrations (Cmax) were lower following bilateral TA-ER injections [geometric mean, 2277.7 pg/ml (95% CI, 1602.13-3238.04)] compared with bilateral TAcs injections [7394.7 pg/ml (2201.06-24,843.43)], with median times to Cmax (Tmax) of 4.5 and 6.5 h, respectively.ConclusionsIn patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis, intra-articular injection of TA-ER into both knees was well tolerated. Consistent with pharmacokinetic profiles observed after a single knee injection, plasma triamcinolone acetonide concentrations were lower after bilateral TA-ER injections compared with the higher and more variable concentrations observed after bilateral TAcs injections.Clinicaltrialsgov identifierNCT03378076.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common degenerative joint diseases leading to disability in the end stage. Although intra-articular triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is one of the OA treatments that have been widely used, the side effects of such corticosteroids are still controversial. Intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is another therapeutic option for patients with OA who do not want to use corticosteroids because of their side effects. However, the difference between the histological features associated with TA and HA in the treatment of OA remains unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to compare the histological effects of TA and HA on the cartilage of patients with knee OA. In the current study, 31 patients diagnosed with grade 3-4 knee OA on the Kellgren-Lawrence radiographic grading scale were separated into three groups: TA (n=12); HA (n=7) and untreated group (n=12). Histological examination of the whole articular cartilages of the patients was performed with hematoxylin and eosin and Alcian staining, as well as using a TUNEL assay. Clinical data such as cartilage thickness, structural and component deterioration, proteoglycan levels, apoptosis and empty lacunae were compared between the three groups. The results showed a high level of deterioration in both TA and HA groups but not in the untreated group, although the thickness of cartilage in the HA group was lower compared with that in the TA and untreated groups. The proteoglycan levels in the TA group were lower compared with those in the HA group. Moreover, the number of empty lacunae in the HA group was higher compared with that in the TA group, while no difference in apoptosis was found between TA and HA groups. A significant difference was not found in the histological staining between TA and HA groups. On the other hand, a significant difference was found in cartilage deterioration between the medial and lateral sides in these groups. TA and HA groups showed comparable histological results. TA injection is cheaper and easier but has more adverse effects for patients with knee OA than HA injection. Therefore, orthopaedists should select TA or HA based on the economic and specific needs of patients.

Project description:BackgroundCartilage defects result in joint inflammation. The presence of proinflammatory factors has been described to negatively affect cartilage formation.PurposeTo evaluate the effect and timing of administration of triamcinolone acetonide (TAA), an anti-inflammatory drug, on cartilage repair using a mouse model.Study designControlled laboratory study.MethodsA full-thickness cartilage defect was created in the trochlear groove of 10-week-old male DBA/1 mice (N = 80). Mice received an intra-articular injection of TAA or saline on day 1 or 7 after induction of the defect. Mice were euthanized on days 10 and 28 for histological evaluation of cartilage defect repair, synovial inflammation, and synovial membrane thickness.ResultsMice injected with TAA had significantly less synovial inflammation at day 10 than saline-injected mice independent of the time of administration. At day 28, the levels of synovitis dropped toward healthy levels; nevertheless, the synovial membrane was thinner in TAA- than in saline-injected mice, reaching statistical significance in animals injected on day 1 (70.1 ± 31.9 µm vs 111.9 ± 30.9 µm, respectively; P = .01) but not in animals injected on day 7 (68.2 ± 21.86 µm vs 90.2 ± 21.29 µm, respectively; P = .26). A thinner synovial membrane was moderately associated with less filling of the defect after 10 and 28 days (r = 0.42, P = .02; r = 0.47, P = .01, respectively). Whereas 10 days after surgery there was no difference in the area of the defect filled and the cell density in the defect area between saline- and TAA-injected knees, filling of the defect at day 28 was lower in TAA- than in saline-injected knees for both injection time points (day 1 injection, P = .04; day 7 injection, P = .01). Moreover, there was less collagen type 2 staining in the filled defect area in TAA- than in saline-injected knees after 28 days, reaching statistical significance in day 1-injected knees (2.6% vs 18.5%, respectively; P = .01) but not in day 7-injected knees (7.4% vs 15.8%, respectively; P = .27).ConclusionIntra-articular injection of TAA reduced synovial inflammation but negatively affected cartilage repair. This implies that inhibition of inflammation may inhibit cartilage repair or that TAA has a direct negative effect on cartilage formation.Clinical relevanceOur findings show that TAA can inhibit cartilage defect repair. Therefore, we suggest not using TAA to reduce inflammation in a cartilage repair setting.
