Abstract

Chondrocytes are responsible for the production of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen type II alpha-1 (COL2A1) and aggrecan, which are loosely distributed in articular cartilage. Chondrocyte dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). With age, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate in all tissues and body fluids, including cartilage and synovial fluid, causing and accelerating pathological changes associated with chronic diseases such as OA. Glycolaldehyde-derived AGE (AGE3), which is toxic to a variety of cell types, have a stronger effect on cartilage compared with other AGEs. To understand the long-term effects of AGE3 on cartilage, we stimulated a human chondrosarcoma cell line (OUMS-27), which exhibits a chondrocytic phenotype, with 10 μg/ml AGE3 for 4 weeks. As a result, the expressions of COL2A1 and aggrecan were significantly downregulated in the OUMS-27 cells without inducing cell death, but the expressions of proteases that play an important role in cartilage destruction were not affected. Inhibition of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) suppressed the AGE3-induced reduction in cartilage component production, suggesting the involvement of RAGE in the action of AGE3.
