Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the gradual deterioration and worsening of the knee joint, leading to both pain and deformity. The current research exhibited the anti-osteoarthritis effect of lusianthridin against monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) induced OA in rats. RAW cells were used for the cell viability. The inflammatory cytokines and mediators were estimated in the cell lines after the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. For the in vivo study, the rats were received the intraperitoneal administration of MIA (3 mg/kg) for the induction of OA. The rats were received the oral administration of lusianthridin (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) and the body and organ weight estimated. Antioxidant, cytokines, inflammatory and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) level were also estimated. The mRNA expression of MMP were also estimated. The lusianthridin treatment remarkably suppressed the cell viability. LPS induced RAW cell suppressed the level of nitrate, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), prostaglandin (PGE2), MMP-2 and MMP-9 level. Lusianthridin remarkably altered the level of body weight and organ weight (liver, spleen, renal and heart weight). lusianthridin suppressed the oxidative stress via altered the level of antioxidant parameters. Lusianthridin significantly (p < 0.001) decreased the level of cartilage oligometrix matrix protein (COMP) and c-reactive protein (CRP); cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10; inflammatory parameters include 5- Lipoxygenase (5-LOX), COX-2, leukotriene B4 (LTB4), PGE2; transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β); MMP level like MMP-1, 3, 9, 13, respectively. Lusianthridin significantly suppressed the mRNA expression of MMP. Collectively, the result of the study showed that antiosteoarthritis effect of lusianthridin via suppression of inflammatory parameters.
