Abstract

In osteoarthritis (OA), articular chondrocytes manifest mitochondrial damage, including mitochondrial DNA 4977-bp (mtDNA4977) deletion that impairs mitochondrial function. OA chondrocytes have decreased activity of AMPK, an energy biosensor that promotes mitochondrial biogenesis. Here, we tested if pharmacologic AMPK activation, via downstream activation of predominately mitochondrially localized sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), reverses existing decreases in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) integrity and function in human OA chondrocytes and limits mouse knee OA development. We assessed mtDNA integrity and function including the common mtDNA4977 deletion and mtDNA content, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) generation, oxygen consumption and intracellular ATP levels. Phosphorylation of AMPKα, expression and activity of SIRT3, acetylation and expression of the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme SOD2 and DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1), and expression of subunits of mitochondrial respiratory complexes were examined. We assessed effect of pharmacologic activation of AMPK on age-related spontaneous mouse knee OA. The mtDNA4977 deletion was detected in both OA chondrocytes and menadione-treated normal chondrocytes, associated...Continue Reading
