The objective of this study was to evaluate photochemical crosslinking using Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid (CASPc) and light with a wavelength of 670 nm as a potential therapy to strengthen articular cartilage and prevent tissue degradation.

A Photochemical Crosslinking Approach to Enhance Resistance to Mechanical Wear and Biochemical Degradation of Articular Cartilage.

A better understanding of molecular events following cartilage injury is required to develop treatments that prevent or delay the onset of trauma-induced osteoarthritis. In this study, alterations to SIRT1 activity in bovine articular cartilage explants were evaluated in the 24 h following a mechanical overload, and the effect of pharmacological SIRT1 activator SRT1720 on acute chondrocyte injury was assessed. SIRT1 enzymatic activity decreased as early as 5 min following the mechanical overload, and remained suppressed for at least 24 h. The chondrocyte injury response, including apoptosis, oxidative stress, secretion of inflammatory mediators, and alterations in cartilage matrix expression, was prevented with pharmacological activation of SIRT1 in a dose-dependent manner. Overall, the results implicate SIRT1 deactivation as a key molecular event in chondrocyte injury following a mechanical impact overload. As decreased SIRT1 signaling is associated with advanced age, these findings suggest that downregulated SIRT1 activity may be common to both age-related and injury-induced osteoarthritis.
