ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic inflammatory disease where pro-inflammatory cytokines, damage-associated molecular patterns and macrophages play a crucial role. However, the interaction of these mediators, the exact cause, and the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) are still unclear. Moreover, the interaction of interleukin (IL)-33, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) with other factors in the pathogenesis of KOA has not been elaborately explored.

METHOD:

Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the expression of IL-33, PDGF-BB, and MMP-9 in the knee cartilage tissue of model mice, murine KOA was induced by using the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) model.

RESULTS:

Compared with the sham operation control group, the expression levels of PDGF-BB, IL-33, and MMP-9 were increased significantly, and the pathological sections showed obvious cartilage damage. Additionally, we assessed the levels of IL-33 and MMP-9 expression in the knee joint of KOA model mice following intervention with PDGF-BB antibody, and we found that the expression level of MMP-9 was reduced following intervention with IL-33 antibody. When the effects of the three antibodies were compared in a mouse disease model, it was discovered that the IL-33 antibody could dramatically lower the relative expression level of MMP-9, resulting in the least amount of cartilage damage and improved protection. In conclusion, inhibiting IL-33 can significantly lower inflammatory factor levels in the knee joint, including IL-33 and MMP-9, and it can improve cartilage breakdown in osteoarthritis of the knee.

CONCLUSION:

Overall, the results indicate that IL-33 has a therapeutic function in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and may be a novel target for treatment of the underlying causes of KOA. Additionally, PDGF-BB might be an upstream pathway of IL-33, and KOA's MMP-9 is an downstream pathway of IL-33.
