چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of long-term exposure to glucosamine or mannosamine on the catabolism of aggrecan by explant cultures of bovine articular cartilage maintained in the presence of retinoic acid. DESIGN The kinetics of loss of 35S-labeled and total aggrecan from explant cultures of bovine articular cartilage maintained in the presence of 1 micro M retinoic acid and exposed to varying concentrations of glucosamine or mannosamine was investigated over a 9-day culture period. In other experiments, the reversibility of the inhibition of aggrecan catabolism by glucosamine or mannosamine was investigated in cultures exposed to these amino sugars for the first 5 days of a 15-day culture period. The metabolism of chondrocytes exposed to these amino sugars was evaluated by measurement of lactate production or 3H-serine and 35S-sulfate incorporation into protein and glycosaminoglycans, respectively. The direct effect of these amino sugars on soluble aggrecanase activity was determined from immunoblots of aggrecan digests. RESULTS Glucosamine at 5mM concentration and mannosamine at 2mM concentration inhibited degradation of radiolabeled and chemical levels of aggrecan. At concentrations of up to 10mM amino sugars, the metabolism of chondrocytes was not impaired, as determined by lactate production, protein synthesis and the incorporation of 35S-sulfate into proteoglycans. These amino sugars did not inhibit soluble aggrecanase activity. The exposure of articular cartilage explants to 5mM glucosamine or mannosamine for 5 days in culture in the presence or absence of retinoic acid did not provide long-term suppression of stimulated aggrecan loss. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that continuous presence of amino sugars is required to protect cartilage from stimulated loss of aggrecan.

The enzymatic processes underlying the degradation of aggrecan in cartilage and the corresponding changes in the biomechanical properties of the tissue are an important part of the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis. Recent studies have demonstrated that the hexosamines glucosamine (GIcN) and mannosamine (ManN) can inhibit aggrecanase-mediated cleavage of aggrecan. The term aggrecanase describes...

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease that is mainly characterized by degradation of articular cartilage with an imbalance of the anabolic and catabolic pathways resulting in an increase of proteolysis of aggrecan and collagen [1]. Aggrecan, a highly glycosylated protein, is a major component of articular cartilage that provides impact absorption and load bearing abilities. In ...

Studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that exposure of articular cartilage to a combination of the "chondroprotective" agents glucosamine hydrochloride, low-molecular-weight chondroitin sulfate, and manganese ascorbate (Cosequin DS [CDS], Nutramax Laboratories, Inc.) prevents the potentially adverse effects of NSAIDs on cartilage. Articular cartilage proteoglycan synthesis and degradati...

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder characterized by breakdown of articular cartilage. Degradation of aggrecan, which together with type II collagen provides cartilage with its unique characteristics of compressibility and elasticity, is an early and sustained feature of osteoarthritis. The present work was set up to identify the enzyme(s) responsible for aggrecan breakdown in osteo...
