| Abstract | Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritic diseases in the world. It is primarily characterized by the loss of articular cartilage and inflammation of the synovial membrane. Interleukin (IL)-1ß is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a major role in the pathogenesis of OA. It induces the expression of cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2), microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), as well as the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and nitric oxide (NO). The later (PGE2 and NO) contribute to articular cartilage destruction and synovitis through their pro-inflammatory, pro-catabolic, anti-anabolic, pro-angiogenic and pro-apoptotic effects. Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation and methylation play a crucial role in gene expression. Among these modifications, histone acetylation is the most studied. Histone acetylation is determined by two types of enzymes: histone acetyltransferases (HAT) and histone deacetylases (HDAC) which activate and repress transcription, respectively. The purpose of these studies is to examine the role of HDAC enzymes in the regulation of COX-2, mPGES-1, and iNOS expression. We demonstrated that HDAC inhibitors (HDACi), trichostatin A (TSA) and sodium butyrate (NaBu), suppressed the Il-1ß-induced transcription and translation of COX-2 and iNOS, as well as the production of PGE2 and NO in chondrocytes. The inhibitory effect of HDACi on transcription does not affect the binding activity of NF-κB (nuclear factor κ B) to DNA. Treatment with TSA and NaBu also inhibited the Il-1ß-induced degradation of proteoglycan in cartilage explants. We also showed that HDACi, TSA, NaBu and valproic acid (VA), suppressed IL-1induced-mPGES-1 expression and the production of PGE2 in synovial fibroblasts. Our data indicated that HDAC4 is involved in Il-1ß-induced expression of mPGES-1. HDAC4, through its deacetylase activity, up-regulated the transcriptional activity of Egr-1 (early growth factor-1), a principal transcription factor for the expression of mPGES-1. From our studies we propose that HDAC inhibitors can be used in the treatment of OA. |
