Inappropriate claims from non-equivalent medications in osteoarthritis: a position paper endorsed by the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (ESCEO).
    Aging clinical and experimental research, 2018, Volume: 30, Issue:2

    Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disease, that occurs frequently in the aging population and is a major cause of disability worldwide. Both glucosamine and chondroitin are biologically active molecules that are substrates for proteoglycan, an essential component of the cartilage matrix. Evidence supports the use of glucosamine and chondroitin as symptomatic slow-acting drugs for osteoarthritis (SYSADOAs) with impact on OA symptoms and disease-modifying effects in the long term. Glucosamine and chondroitin are administered in exogenous form as a sulfate salt and multiple formulations of these agents are available, both as prescription-grade products and nutritional supplements. However, while all preparations may claim to deliver a therapeutic level of glucosamine or chondroitin not all are supported by clinical evidence. Only patented crystalline glucosamine sulfate (pCGS) is shown to deliver consistently high glucosamine bioavailability and plasma concentration in humans, which corresponds to demonstrated clinical efficacy. Similarly, clinical evidence supports only the pharmaceutical-grade chondroitin sulfate. The European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (ESCEO) advocates, through careful consideration of the evidence base, that judicious choice of glucosamine and chondroitin formulation is essential to maximize clinical benefit, patient adherence and satisfaction with treatment. In future, the ESCEO recommends that complex molecules with biological activity such as pCGS may be treated as "biosimilars" akin to the European Medicines Agency guidance on biological medicinal products. It seems likely that for all other complex molecules classed as SYSADOAs, the recommendation to use only formulations clearly supported by the evidence-base should apply.

Patients with knee osteoarthritis have lower total hip bone mineral density in the symptomatic leg than in the contralateral hip.
    Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry, 2005,Winter, Volume: 8, Issue:4

    Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is common in the aging population. In patients with OA, bone mineral density (BMD) is usually increased, but the fracture rate does not appear to be systematically lower than in age-matched healthy controls. The aim of our study was to describe hip BMD in patients presenting with unilateral symptomatic knee OA. Patients with painful knee OA were prospectively included in a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the structure-modifying efficacy of an oral chondroitin sulfate treatment on the knee joint. The majority of these patients underwent additional measurements of BMD of their lumbar spine and both hips using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The hip BMD values of the leg with symptomatic knee OA were compared with the contralateral hip. One-hundred and sixty-one patients (81 men and 80 women; aged 62.6 +/- 9.2 yr, range 40-82 yr) underwent DXA. The median total hip BMD was higher than in age-matched controls, but patients had a relatively lower hip BMD in the knee OA-affected leg (p = 0.001). Our knee OA patients rarely presented with concomitant osteoporosis, but usually had a relatively lower hip BMD on the affected leg. Therefore, we suggest that the hip of the leg with symptomatic knee OA should be measured if DXA is acquired only at one hip. Future studies have to assess whether the relative decrease of BMD at the hip of the leg with knee OA might influence fracture incidence.

Enzymatic preparation of chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharides and its alleviating effect on ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in rats.
    Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie, 2023, Volume: 164

    Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common type of osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) has been successfully employed as food supplement against osteoarthritis, while the therapeutic potential on postmenopausal osteoporosis is little explored. In this study, CS oligosaccharides (CSOs) were enzymatically prepared through the lysis of CS by a chondroitinase from Microbacterium sp. Strain. The alleviating effects of CS, CSOs and Caltrate D (a clinically used supplement) on ovariectomy (OVX) - induced rat's osteoporosis were comparatively investigated. Our data showed that the prepared CSOs was basically unsaturated CS disaccharide mixture of ∆Di4S (53.1%), ∆Di6S (27.7%) and ∆Di0S (17.7%). 12 weeks' intragastric administration of Caltrate D (250 mg/kg/d), CS or CSOs (500 mg/kg/d, 250 mg/kg/d, 125 mg/kg/d) could obviously regulate the disorder of serum indices, recover the mechanical strength and mineral content of bone, improve the cortical bones' density and the number and length of trabecular bones in OVX rats. Both CS and CSOs in 500 mg/kg/d and 250 mg/kg/d could restore more efficiently the serum indices, bone fracture deflection and femur Ca than Caltrate D. As compared with CS at the same dosage, CSOs exhibited a more significant alleviating effect. These findings suggested that there was great potential of CSOs as daily interventions for delaying the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Chondroitin Sulfate Alleviates Diabetic Osteoporosis and Repairs Bone Microstructure
    Frontiers in endocrinology, 2021, Volume: 12

    Diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) belongs to secondary osteoporosis caused by diabetes; it has the characteristics of high morbidity and high disability. In the present study, we constructed a type 1 diabetic rat model and administered chondroitin sulfate (200 mg/kg) for 10 weeks to observe the preventive effect of chondroitin sulfate on the bone loss of diabetic rats. The results showed that chondroitin sulfate can reduce blood glucose and relieve symptoms of diabetic rats; in addition, it can significantly increase the bone mineral density, improve bone microstructure, and reduce bone marrow adipocyte number in diabetic rats; after 10 weeks of chondroitin sulfate administration, the SOD activity level was upregulated, as well as CAT levels, indicating that chondroitin sulfate can alleviate oxidative stress in diabetic rats. Chondroitin sulfate was also found to reduce the level of serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, and MCP-1) and alleviate the inflammation in diabetic rats; bone metabolism marker detection results showed that chondroitin sulfate can reduce bone turnover in diabetic rats (decreased RANKL, CTX-1, ALP, and TRACP 5b levels were observed after 10 weeks of chondroitin sulfate administration). At the same time, the bone OPG and RUNX 2 expression levels were higher after chondroitin sulfate treatment, the bone RANKL expression was lowered, and the OPG/RANKL ratio was upregulated. All of the above indicated that chondroitin sulfate could prevent STZ-induced DOP and repair bone microstructure; the main mechanism was through anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and regulating bone metabolism. Chondroitin sulfate could be used to develop anti-DOP functional foods and diet interventions for diabetes.

Oral Delivery of Parathyroid Hormone Using a Triple-Padlock Nanocarrier for Osteoporosis
    ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2021, May-26, Volume: 13, Issue:20

    Intermittent subcutaneous (S.C.) injection of teriparatide [PTH (1-34)] is one of the effective therapies to cure osteoporosis. However, a long-term repeated administration of teriparatide by S.C. to the patients is highly challenging. Herein, a triple padlock nanocarrier prepared by a taurocholic acid-conjugated chondroitin sulfate A (TCSA) is designed to develop an oral dosage form of recombinant human teriparatide (rhPTH). Oral administration of TCSA/rhPTH to the bilateral ovariectomized (OVX) rats resulted in the recovery of the bone marrow density and healthy serum bone parameters from the severe osteoporotic conditions. Also, it enhanced new bone formation in the osteoporotic tibias. This triple padlock oral delivery platform overcame the current barriers associated with teriparatide administration and exhibited a promising therapeutic effect against osteoporosis.

Modulation of gut microbiota by chondroitin sulfate calcium complex during alleviation of osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats.
    Carbohydrate polymers, 2021, Aug-15, Volume: 266

    Although chondroitin sulfate calcium complex (CSCa) was claimed to have the bioactivity for bone care in vitro, its anti-osteoporosis bioactivity was little reported in vivo. Here, the effects of CSCa on osteoporosis rats were investigated. Results showed that, compared with the osteoporosis rats, CSCa could improve the bone mineral density and microstructure of femur, and change the bone turnover markers level in serum. 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomics analysis indicated CSCa intervention altered the composition of gut microbiota along with metabolite profiles in ovariectomized rat faeces. The correlation analysis showed some gut microbiota taxa were significantly correlated with osteoporosis phenotypes and the enriched metabolites. Taken together, dietary CSCa intervention has the potential to alleviate the osteoporosis and related symptoms probably involving gut microbiota or the metabolite profiles as demonstrated in rats. This study provides some scientific evidence for the potential effects of CSCa as the food supplement on the osteoporosis.

Comparative Analyses of Pharmaceuticals or Food Supplements Containing Chondroitin Sulfate: Are Their Bioactivities Equivalent?
    Advances in therapy, 2019, Volume: 36, Issue:11

    Oral supplementation of chondroitin sulfate (CS) and glucosamine (GlcN), symptomatic slow-acting molecules, is recommended by European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (ESCEO) and other European Union (EU) guidelines for the restoration of the articular cartilage surface in patients affected by osteoarthritis (OA). They are commercialized as pharmaceutical grade products and as food supplements in combination with plant extracts hyaluronic acid, methylsulfonylmethane, and other components. Food supplements do not need to undergo the strict regulatory controls of pharmaceutical grade products; thus, composition and contaminants that could be present may not be evidenced before commercialization and these uncertainties may give rise to concerns about the bioactivity of these formulations.. In this paper 10 different food supplements (FS) from diverse European countries were analyzed in comparison with two pharmaceutical grade products (Ph) using updated analytical approaches and biochemical cell-based assays. The purity, the titer, and the origin of CS in Ph and FS samples were initially assessed in order to successively compare the biological function. Both food supplements and pharmaceutical formulations were tested in vitro, using the same final CS concentration, on primary chondrocytes and synoviocytes in terms of (i) cell viability, (ii) activation of the NF-κB-mediated inflammation pathway, (iii) cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP-2), IL-6, and IL-8 production.. All the FS presented a certain insoluble fraction; the CS and the GlcN contents were lower than the declared ones in 9/10 and 8/10 samples, respectively. All FS contained keratan sulfate (KS) at up to 50% of the total glycosaminoglycan amount declared on the label. Primary cells treated with the samples diluted to present the same CS concentration in the medium showed cytotoxicity in 7/10 FS while Ph preserved viability and reduced NF-κB, COMP-2, and secreted inflammatory cytokines.. Among all samples tested, the pharmaceutical grade products demonstrated effective modulation of biomarkers counteracting the inflammation status and improving viability and the physiological condition of OA human primary chondrocyte and synoviocyte cells. In contrast to that, most FS were cytotoxic at the tested concentrations, and only 3/10 of them showed similarities to Ph sample behavior in vitro..

Modifications in bone matrix of estrogen-deficient rats treated with intermittent PTH.
    BioMed research international, 2015, Volume: 2015

    Bone matrix dictates strength, elasticity, and stiffness to the bone. Intermittent parathyroid hormone (iPTH), a bone-forming treatment, is widely used as a therapy for osteoporosis. We investigate whether low doses of intermittent PTH (1-34) change the profile of organic components in the bone matrix after 30 days of treatment. Forty 6-month-old female Wistar rats underwent ovariectomy and after 3 months received low doses of iPTH administered for 30 days: daily at 0.3 µg/kg/day (PTH03) or 5 µg/kg/day (PTH5); or 3 times per week at 0.25 µg/kg/day (PTH025). After euthanasia, distal femora were processed for bone histomorphometry, histochemistry for collagen and glycosaminoglycans, biochemical quantification of sulfated glycosaminoglycans, and hyaluronan by ELISA and TUNEL staining. Whole tibiae were used to estimate the bone mineral density (BMD). Histomorphometric analysis showed that PTH5 increased cancellous bone volume by 6% over vehicle-treated rats. In addition, PTH5 and PTH03 increased cortical thickness by 21% and 20%, respectively. Tibial BMD increased in PTH5-treated rats and this group exhibited lower levels of chondroitin sulfate; on the other hand, hyaluronan expression was increased. Hormonal administration in the PTH5 group led to decreased collagen maturity. Further, TUNEL-positive osteocytes were decreased in the cortical compartment of PTH5 whereas administration of PTH025 increased the osteocyte death. Our findings suggest that daily injections of PTH at low doses alter the pattern of organic components from the bone matrix, favoring the increase of bone mass.

Evaluation of osteoclastic resorption activity using calcium phosphate coating combined with labeled polyanion.
    Analytical biochemistry, 2011, Mar-01, Volume: 410, Issue:1

    Osteoclasts are involved in bone resorption, and its activation is considered one of the causes of osteoporosis. The pit assay is the principal method for evaluating osteoclast function by measuring hydroxyapatite resorption in vitro. However, the pit assay requires time and trained techniques, including the pit image analysis, and there is no other easy method for evaluating bone resorption. In this study, we developed a novel approach to quantify the bone resorption activity using a calcium phosphate (CaP) coating labeled with fluorescent polyanion. Fluoresceinamine-labeled chondroitin polysulfate or Hoechst 33258-labeled deoxyribonucleic acid was used for CaP labeling. When macrophage cell line RAW264 was cultured on the labeled CaP under the stimulation with the receptor activator of the NF-κB ligand (RANKL), RAW264 cells differentiated into osteoclastic cells and the fluorescence intensity of the culture supernatant and pit area increased in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, drugs for osteoporosis treatment, such as pamidronate and β-estradiol, inhibited fluorescein release by the cells stimulated with RANKL. A positive correlation between the fluorescence intensity and pit area was observed (r=0.917). These results indicated that this new method using fluorescent polyanion-labeled CaP is a standardized useful assay system for the evaluation of bone resorption activity.

Comparison of chondroitin sulphate composition of femoral head articular cartilage from patients with femoral neck fractures and osteoarthritis and controls.
    Rheumatology international, 1995, Volume: 14, Issue:6

    The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and uronic acid (UA) composition of human hip articular cartilage from patients with femoral neck fractures [assumed osteoporosis (OP); n = 12], from patients with osteoarthritis (OA; n = 12) and from normal controls (n = 9) was determined. Full depth tissue samples from the control and OP groups were analysed from the superior, inferior, anterior and posterior regions, while the OA tissue was from cystic (tissue growing on top of cystic bone lesions) and osteophytic regions, from normal and fibrillated resident cartilage and from regions immediately adjacent to eburnated bone. The total sulphated GAG and UA content was reduced in the inferior region of control cartilage compared to the other regions and the values of all regions of the assumed OP group. Cystic regions and OA cartilage adjacent to the bone also showed lower GAG and UA levels than the other regions. The ratios of chondroitin 6-sulphate (C6S) to chondroitin 4-sulphate (C4S) indicated a similar pattern in the different regions of controls and the patient group with femoral neck fracture (OP group). The cystic and osteophytic cartilage of the OA group exhibited lower C6S/C4S ratios than any other region. The levels of dermatan sulphate (DS) in the cartilage of all regions of the OP and control groups were very similar and low, while the tissues of the OA group contained significantly higher amounts, particularly the cartilage from osteophytes. The previously presumed compositional similarity between normal aged and osteoporotic articular hip cartilage was essentially confirmed in a comparative analysis. Significant changes in GAG and UA composition of OA cartilage from distinct regions was also recorded.
