Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the age-related NADPH oxidase (arNOX) activity in patients with age-related knee osteoarthritis (OA). Serum and cartilage arNOX activities were determined using an oxidized ferricytochrome C reduction assay. Full-thickness knee joint cartilages obtained through total knee replacement surgery were graded according to the Outerbridge (OB) classification. Radiographic severity of OA was determined on Knee X-rays according to the Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) grading system. Cartilage β-galactosidase, HIF-1α, and GLUT-1 expression levels were evaluated as markers for tissue senescence, hypoxia, and glycolysis. Higher arNOX activities occurred with higher levels of cartilage β-galactosidase, HIF-1α, and GLUT-1 (P = 0.002). arNOX activity in cartilages with surface defects (OB grade II, III) was higher than in those without the defects (OB grade 0, I) (P = 0.012). Cartilage arNOX activity showed a positive correlation with serum arNOX activity (r = -0.577, P = 0.023). Serum arNOX activity was significantly higher in the OA subgroup with bilateral ROA than in the OA with no or unilateral ROA (2.449 ± 0.81, 2.022 ± 0.251 nM/mL, respectively, P = 0.019). The results of this study demonstrate that O...Continue Reading
