We found that CDDO inhibited the expression of these enzymes in a chondrocyte cell line, human primary chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts.
Along with confirming changes in gene expression already known to be associated with IL-1β stimulation, chondrocyte biology, and MMP gene regulation, this microarray identified several other induced and repressed genes whose roles in chondrocyte biology are yet to be defined.
Sections were evaluated in a blinded manner for histologic signs of arthritis and scored as follows: 1, synovial cell proliferation, synovial hypertrophy with villus formation and/or fibrin deposition; 2, inflammation, synovitis and/or generalized inflammation; 3, cartilage disruption, chondrocyte degeneration and/or ruffling of cartilage surface and/or dystrophic cartilage; and 4, joint destruction, cartilage erosion with abundant inflammation and pannus formation with bone erosion.
There is little evidence to support this possibility as Hoxc-8 is expressed normally in our chondrocyte cultures (data not shown), and the promoter used to drive the transgene contains a cartilage-specific element (Cormier and Kappen, unpublished results) that is active in chondrocytes.
These cultures undergo chondrocyte maturation with differentiation to hypertrophy and formation of cartilage modules.
