| Abstract | Background Inflammation is a major cause of cartilage destruction and leads to the imbalance of metabolic activities in the arthritic joint. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) has been reported to have both pro- and anti-inflammatory activities in various cell types and to be upregulated in the arthritic joint, but its role in joint destruction is unclear. Our aim was to investigate the role of PEDF in cartilage degeneration under inflammatory conditions. Methods PEDF was ectopically expressed in primary human articular chondrocytes, and catabolic gene expression and protein secretion in response to the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) were evaluated. Metatarsal bones from PEDF-deficient and wild type mice were cultured in the presence or absence of IL-1β. Cartilage matrix integrity and matrix metalloproteinases MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 were evaluated. PEDF-deficient and wild type mice were evaluated in the monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) inflammatory joint destruction animal model to determine the role of PEDF in inflammatory arthritis in vivo. Student’s t-tests and Mann–Whitney tests were employed where appropriate, for parametric and non-parametric data, respectively. Results We showed that PEDF protein levels were higher in human osteoarthritis samples compared to normal samples. We demonstrated that ectopic PEDF expression in primary human articular chondrocytes exacerbated catabolic gene expression in the presence of IL-1β. In whole bone organ cultures, IL-1β induced MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-13 protein production, and caused significant cartilage matrix loss. Interestingly, Toluidine Blue staining showed that PEDF-deficient bones from 29 week old animals, but not 10 week old animals, had reduced matrix loss in response to IL-1β compared to their wild type counterparts. In addition, PEDF-deficiency in 29 week old animals preserved matrix integrity and protected against cell loss in the MIA joint destruction model in vivo. Conclusion We conclude that PEDF exacerbates cartilage degeneration in an age-dependent manner under an inflammatory setting. This is the first study identifying a specific role for PEDF in joint inflammation and highlights the multi-faceted activities of PEDF. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
