タイトル Halofuginone attenuates articular cartilage degeneration by inhibition of elevated TGF‑β1 signaling in articular cartilage in a rodent osteoarthritis model.
ジャーナル Mol Med Rep
Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative condition of the weight‑bearing joints worldwide without effective medical therapy. In order to investigate whether administration of halofuginone (HF) may attenuate OA, the present study allocated 3‑month‑old male mice into Sham group, vehicle‑treated anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) group and HF‑treated ACLT group. The present study determined that HF treatment reduced the expression of matrix metallopeptidase‑13 and collagen X in articular cartilage. Additionally, it lowered the Osteoarthritis Research Society International‑Modified Mankin score and prevented the loss of articular cartilage from Safranin O and Fast Green staining. HF reduced the progression of osteoarthritis by downregulating abnormally elevated TGF‑β1 activity in articular cartilage. Administration of HF may be a potential preventive therapy for OA.
