Abstract
In this study, we examined the effects of overexpression of SIRT1 on IL‐1β‐induced gene expression changes in human chondrocytes to explore a protective role of SIRT1 in human chondrocytes. SIRT1 was overexpressed in human chondrocytes by expression plasmid under stimulation with IL‐1β. SIRT1 was also inhibited by siRNA under stimulation with IL‐1β. Gene expression changes were examined by real‐time PCR. The interaction of SIRT1 and p65 (NF‐κB) were examined by Western blotting. SIRT1, MMP‐13, and ADAMTS‐5 expressions in human cartilage were examined by immunohistochemistry. IL‐1β stimulation significantly up‐regulated MMP‐1, 2, 9, and 13 and ADAMTS‐5. Overexpression of SIRT1 significantly inhibited the up‐regulation of those genes caused by IL‐1β while the inhibition of SIRT1 further increased them. In addition, the overexpression of SIRT1 markedly reduced the IL‐1β‐induced acetylation of p65. SIRT1 expression was clearly detected in the non‐OA cartilage while MMP‐13 and ADAMTS‐5 were undetectable. In contrast, in the OA cartilage, SIRT1 expression was decreased while MMP‐13 and ADAMTS‐5 were increased. Our observations suggested that SIRT1 can play a protective role by suppressing IL‐1β‐induced expressions of cartilage‐degrading enzymes partially through the modulation of the NF‐κB pathway. SIRT1 overexpression might be a new therapeutic approach for OA. © 2012 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Orthop Res 31: 531–537, 2013Funding Information
