Acute Changes in NADPH Oxidase 4 in Early Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis.
Model: Non-invasive tibial compression knee injury producing anterior cruciate ligament rupture by bony avulsion, delivered as a single dynamic overload at 1 mm/s to a target compressive force of 14 N, as a model of post-traumatic osteoarthritis; simulated injury in primary human chondrocytes using IL-1beta, TNF-alpha or TGF-beta at 10 ng/ml
Nox4 activity, mRNA and protein fell acutely within the first 24 h after joint injury in both human chondrocytes and mouse knees, then rose above baseline with a peak at 48 h and elevation persisting to 72 h. Daily GKT137831 for 7 days after injury prevented the significant fall in subchondral bone…
