This study revealed that the cartilage protective effect of osthole in a MIA-induced osteoarthritis (OA) murine model can be explained by downregulation of COX-2 and RUNX2 by inhibition of NF-κB and HIF-2α up-regulated by OA induction, resulting in downregulation of MMP-13, Syndecan IV and ADAMTS-5.
In addition, MPE suppressed IL-1β (60.9%), TNF-α (37.9%) and IL- 6 (40.9%) production and suppressed the synthesis of MMP-2, MMP-9 and COX-2 in the MIA-induced OA rat model.
The inflammatory pattern was assessed by RT-qPCR and ELISA (interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, Cox2, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE<sub>2</sub>)) after a 24-h stimulation by IL-1β (1 ng/mL) and by conditioned medium from OA synovium.
In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that CJM reduced the IL-1β-, IL-6, IL-17- and TNF-α-induced up-regulation of MMP3, MMP13, ADAMTS4, ADAMTS5 and COX-2 and blocked osteoarthritis development in a destabilization of the medial meniscus mouse model.
Among them, we evidence that amentoflavone showed very favorable interactions with the enzyme COX-2 in the in silico analysis.Thus, it is concluded that <i>A. chica</i> has important analgesic properties for the treatment of OA.
ELF3 levels are elevated in human cartilage from patients with osteoarthritis (OA), and ELF3 contributes to the IL-1β-induced expression of genes encoding Mmp13, Nos2, and Ptgs2/Cox2 in chondrocytes in vitro.
Targeted and untargeted metabolomics were used to investigate the effect of COX-2 deletion or inhibition in mice and in osteoarthritis patients exposed to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the l-arginine/nitric oxide pathway.
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effects of escin on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2, isoform), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 (IL-18), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and nitric oxide (NO) (1), as well as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on inflammatory cells, similar osteoarthritis in synoviocytes, and monocytes/macrophages, and to compare it with dexamethasone (DEX) and ibuprofen (IBP).
Therefore, we evaluated the disease-modifying effects and the optimal dose of polyesteramide microspheres delivering the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib in a rat OA model.
Vitacoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, is approved for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with orthopedic surgery and osteoarthritis in dogs.
A MEDLINE search (2006-2016) was conducted for randomized controlled trials studying acetaminophen, oral NSAIDs, topical NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors, and opioids in the treatment of OA pain.
Patients who have OA and T2DM receiving combination COX-2 inhibitors and metformin therapy associated with lower joint replacement surgery rates than those without and this may be attributable to combination therapy much more decrease pro-inflammatory factors associated than those without metformin therapy.
Our results demonstrated that sauchinone significantly attenuated NO and PGE2 production, as well as inhibited iNOS and COX-2 expression in IL-1β-stimulated OA chondrocytes.
Gene expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitor of metallproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), TIMP-2, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, cycloxygenae-2 (COX2) and PRG4 in unstimulated and IL-1β (1 ng/ml)-stimulated OA synoviocytes, in the presence or absence of rhPRG4 (100 and 200 μg/ml), was studied following incubation for 24 hours.
Dexamethasone induced the expression of DUSP1 and inhibited the activation of the MAPK pathway and reduced the expression of MMP‑13 and COX‑2 in OA FLSs.
On clinical history, she indicated that 3 weeks prior, she had been initiated on a cyclooygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, celecoxib, for her osteoarthritis of her knees.
A COX-2-specific gapmer designed with maximal chondrocyte gene silencing (~70% silencing efficiency at 500nM compared with a mismatch gapmer sequence) resulted in effective COX-2 silencing over 14days in hydrogels seeded with OA chondrocytes, with significant difference exhibited between day 3 and 10.
This study investigated whether 14 days of the selective Cox-2 inhibitor etoricoxib (60 mg/day) would modify self-report of pain intensity and quality, and physical measures of hyperalgesia and function in individuals with knee OA.
This study elucidates the detailed mechanism of low shear stress regulating the resistin-induced catabolic COX-2 expression and indicates a possible reparative role of moderate shear force in resistin-stimulated OA development..
The anti-inflammation and growth inhibition effects exhibited by enhanced SOCS3 in OA appear to be related to its capacity to down-regulate expression levels of NF-κB and COX2.
In this study, we found that silibinin significantly inhibited the nterleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-6, expression of cyclooxygenase2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), MMP-3, MMP-13, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5, degradation of aggrecan and collagen-II in human OA chondrocytes.
