1H NMR investigation of changes in the metabolic profile of synovial fluid in bilateral canine osteoarthritis with unilateral joint denervation.

OBJECTIVE: High resolution 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques have been used to compare the effects of unilateral knee-joint denervation on the biochemical profiles of synovial fluid in a bilateral canine model of osteoarthritis. METHOD: Paired synovial fluid samples were obtained from seven dogs all of which had previously undergone bilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection, unilateral knee denervation and contralateral sham nerve exposure. All synovial fluid samples were then analyzed using 500 MHz 1H-CPMG spin-echo NMR Spectroscopy to assess differences in endogenous metabolite levels between the paired fluids. RESULTS: The results indicate statistically significant increases in glycerol, hydroxybutyrate, glutamine/glutamate, creatinine/creatine, acetate and N-acetyl-glycoprotein concentrations in synovial fluids from denervated with respect to control knees. Furthermore, significant trends towards elevated lactate, alanine and pyruvate levels in the denervated knee fluids are consistent with our previous findings comparing NMR spectroscopy metabolic profiles of normal and osteoarthritic canine synovial fluids. CONCLUSION: This study lends support to the principle of neurogenic acceleration of OA in that the observed differences in metabolite concentrations found in the denervated knee fluids seem to correlate with metabolic changes resulting from aggravation of the OA process caused by joint denervation.

Sodium naproxen: concentration and effect on inflammatory response mediators in human rheumatoid synovial fluid.

Twelve patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and having swollen knees were treated with 1.1 g/day of sodium naproxen administered in one dose, daily for 5 days. The 72-h wash-out period was verified by the absence of any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug using a HPLC screening. Blood and synovial fluid samples were drawn just before treatment and 24 h after the last dose. Eicosanoids (PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, TXB2, LTB4, LTC4) in synovial fluid were determined by immunoenzymatic assays. In plasma and synovial fluid, hyaluronic acid was assayed by radiometric assay and sodium naproxen by HPLC. Free drug was determined by equilibrium dialysis. Statistical analysis used nonparametric tests. Pain relief (evaluated on a visual scale), morning stiffness, and scores on the Lee and Ritchie indices all decreased significantly, as did PGE2 and LTB4 concentrations. The decrease in 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 was not significant. No significant change was found for LTC4 and hyaluronic acid. Total concentrations of sodium naproxen were equivalent in plasma (16.1 micrograms.ml-1) and synovial fluid (18.9 micrograms.ml-1). Free fractions were significantly higher in synovial fluid (0.14%) than in plasma (0.11%), as shown by binding of the drug to human serum albumin, at various protein concentrations. Interestingly, the clinical efficacy, as shown by decreases in morning stiffness and in the Lee index score, correlated with the free concentration of naproxen in synovial fluid.

Mast cell activation in arthritis: detection of alpha- and beta-tryptase, histamine and eosinophil cationic protein in synovial fluid.

1. Although mast cell hyperplasia is a feature of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, the extent and nature of mast cell activation in joint disease have not been clearly established. 2. We have investigated the levels of mast cell tryptase and histamine and also of eosinophil cationic protein in synovial fluid collected from 31 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 14 with seronegative spondyloarthritis and nine with osteoarthritis. Two RIAs for tryptase were employed: one with monoclonal antibody AA5, which was found to bind equally well to both alpha and beta isoforms on Western blots of the recombinant enzyme, and the other with antibody G5, which recognizes predominantly beta-tryptase. 3. alpha-Tryptase, which is likely to be released constitutively from mast cells, appeared to be the major form in synovial fluid, as the assay with antibody AA5 detected appreciably more tryptase than that with antibody G5. beta-Tryptase, which is released on anaphylactic activation of mast cells, was detected in 14 out of 45 synovial fluid samples studied, with concentrations of up to 12 micrograms/l measured by the G5 assay. The apparent levels of beta-tryptase, but not of alpha-tryptase, were closely correlated with those of histamine in the synovial fluid. Patients with osteoarthritis appeared to have a greater proportion of beta-tryptase in the synovial fluid than those with rheumatoid arthritis, as well as higher concentrations of histamine. Eosinophil cationic protein was present at high levels in the synovial fluid, although eosinophil numbers were low, and its concentrations were not correlated with the concentrations of the mast cell products. 4. These data suggest that anaphylactic degranulation of mast cells may have occurred to a greater extent in osteoarthritis than in rheumatoid arthritis, despite the relative lack of synovial inflammation in osteoarthritis. Although the eosinophil cationic protein detected may not reflect eosinophilic inflammation in the joint, the presence in synovial fluid of tryptase of both major forms, and of histamine, appears to indicate that mast cell products are secreted constitutively, as well as by processes of anaphylactic degranulation in rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthritis and osteoarthritis.

Temporomandibular synovial fluid pressure response to altered mandibular positions.

Hydrostatic synovial fluid pressure within the superior aspect of the temporomandibular joint space of the growing pig, Sus scrofa domesticus, was examined in response to various acute and chronic alterations of mandibular position. Bilateral measurements of pressure were recorded with chronically implanted wick catheters in three 8-week-old pigs before and at the time of appliance placement and then at 2-day intervals until the animals were 20 weeks old. Besides confirming the observations of a previous study, we noted that forward positioning of the mandible caused an increase in synovial fluid pressure that decayed to baseline levels within 2 hours. Posterior positioning of the mandible effected a larger increase in pressure that partially decayed over 2 hours but did not return to baseline levels over the entire course of the experiment. These results may have significance in the understanding of the physiology of the temporomandibular joint, local control mechanisms involved in the normal and treatment-aided growth of the mandible, and disorders of the temporomandibular joint.

Synovial fluid copper and related variables in rheumatoid and degenerative arthritis.

Copper, caeruloplasmin, transferrin, albumin, and total protein were measured in the serum and synovial fluid of 40 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 40 patients with osteoarthrosis. A raised synovial fluid copper and caeruloplasmin have been found to be characteristic of rheumatoid effusions. The relation between copper and caeruloplasmin in synovial fluid differs from that in serum. Synovial fluid caeruloplasmin was increased disproportionately in relation to other plasma proteins present in rheumatoid effusions.

Synovitis causes hypoxia and acidity in synovial fluid and subchondral bone.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the environmental changes in synovial fluid and subchondral bone during synovitis in rabbits in which the knee joint on one side was subjected to a procedure causing instability; a traumatic synovitis rapidly developed. Three weeks following the procedure, partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) were measured in vivo in the juxta-articular bone and in the synovial fluid of both the normal and the affected sides. Mass spectrometry was used for simultaneous registration of PO2 and PCO2, while a monocrystalline antimony pH electrode was used for simultaneous measurement of pH in vivo. Hypoxia, hypercapnia and relative acidity were found in synovial fluid and subchondral bone of knees with synovitis. The metabolic environment of synovial fluid and subchondral bone was considerably changed at the 3-week stage of experimental osteoarthritis and this was probably secondary to regional venous congestion.

NMR studies on human, pathologically changed synovial fluids: role of hypochlorous acid.

Recently, it has been reported that hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a special product of neutrophil myeloperoxidase, degrades N-acetyl groups of N-acetylglucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and minced articular cartilage via a transient product to acetate. This work concerns 1H NMR investigations of synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Synovial fluids of patients with severe forms of this disease are characterized by enhanced 1H NMR signals for N-acetyl groups (approximately 2.0 ppm) and acetate (1.90 ppm) and the appearance of a broad but less intense signal at 2.35 ppm. It is likely that this signal corresponds to the transient, chlorinated product of degradation of N-acetyl groups by hypochlorous acid. Moreover, 1H NMR signal intensities of N-acetyl groups and acetate strongly correlate with the myeloperoxidase activities in synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These results have been confirmed by treatment of native sheep synovial fluid with sodium hypochlorite, resulting in the formation of the same resonances as observed in pathologically changed synovial fluids from humans. Thus, it is concluded that HOCl plays an important role for the cartilage degradation during rheumatoid arthritis.

Vitamin D metabolites in synovial fluid.

This study has shown that it is possible to measure vitamin D metabolites and vitamin D binding protein (DBP) in synovial fluid as well as serum. Significant amounts of 25-OHD, 24,25-(OH)2D, and DBP are present in synovial fluid. The 25-OHD and DBP maintain a serum:synovial fluid ratio of approximately 2:1 irrespective of the type of joint disease, whereas no such relationship was detected for 24,25-(OH)2D. The possible reasons for these findings are diffusion of the metabolites into synovial fluid or local production from suitable precursors, or both.

Basis for defective responses of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fluid lymphocytes to anti-CD3 (T3) antibodies.

Synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) from patients with active rheumatoid arthritis characteristically respond poorly to mitogens. In this study, mitogenic antibodies reactive with the CD3(T3) antigen on human T lymphocytes were used to analyze the basis for the deficiency. OKT3-induced proliferation and release of interleukin 1 (IL-1) and interleukin 2 (IL-2) from SFMC were depressed in all patients. Purified IL-1 or recombinant IL-2 restored proliferative responses in SFMC and increased IL-2 receptor density. Exogenous IL-1 also enhanced IL-2 release. Fractionation of SFMC supernatants on phosphocellulose columns revealed the presence of IL-1 and a potent IL-1 inhibitor. The monocyte-derived IL-1 inhibitor blocked IL-1-dependent responses of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes to OKT3, but had no effect on IL-2-dependent events. These results suggest that IL-1 inhibitor(s) in SFMC impair(s) OKT3-induced mitogenesis by interfering with the effects of IL-1 on T lymphocytes. The net result is deficient IL-2 secretion, IL-2 receptor expression, and impaired cellular proliferation. This novel inhibitory circuit provides a rational explanation for the diminished function of synovial fluid T lymphocytes in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Comparison of the suppressive effects of interleukin-10 and interleukin-4 on synovial fluid macrophages and blood monocytes from patients with inflammatory arthritis.

This study determined the potential capacity of interleukin-10 (IL-10), compared with IL-4, to control the production of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-1 beta and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) and the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens by monocytes/macrophages isolated from synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid or other forms of chronic inflammatory arthritis. Mononuclear cells were isolated from synovial fluid and peripheral blood and incubated with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and with or without IL-10 (100 U/ml, 10 ng/ml) or IL-4 (10 ng/ml) for 22 hr. TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-1ra levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the culture supernatants, and MHC class II expression was examined on the monocytes/macrophages by flow cytometry. IL-10, unlike IL-4, decreased TNF-alpha production by LPS-stimulated synovial fluid cells to the same extent as by LPS-stimulated peripheral blood cells from the same patients. IL-10 and IL-4 suppressed equally IL-1 beta production by the same cells. However, only IL-4 significantly increased IL-1ra production by synovial fluid mononuclear cells. Synovial fluid cells expressed increased levels of MHC class II antigen, and these levels were not as efficiently suppressed by IL-10 as they were for peripheral blood cells. Because IL-10 and IL-4 differentially regulate TNF-alpha and IL-1ra production by synovial fluid mononuclear cells, selective use of either IL-10 or IL-4 in the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions will depend on whether TNF-alpha or IL-1, respectively, is established as primarily responsible for the maintenance of the chronic inflammatory condition.

Role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and platelet-activating factor in neoangiogenesis induced by synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

The aim of the present study was to investigate in vivo in a mouse model the stimulation of neoangiogenesis by synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to determine the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in the formation of new vessels. Angiogenesis was studied in a mouse model in which Matrigel, injected subcutaneously, was used as a vehicle for the delivery of potential angiogenic stimuli. Synovial fluids of patients with RA but not with osteoarthritis (OA) were shown to induce neoangiogenesis. Since synovial fluid of patients with RA contained significantly higher levels of TNF-alpha-like bioactivity and of PAF than that of patients with OA, the role of these mediators was evaluated by using an anti-TNF-alpha neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) and a PAF receptor antagonist, WEB 2170. When added to Matrigel, anti-TNF-alpha mAb and particularly WEB 2170 significantly reduced neoangiogenesis induced by synovial fluids of RA patients. Moreover, PAF extracted and purified from synovial fluid induced angiogenesis. These results suggest that the neoangiogenesis observed in rheumatoid synovitis may be due, at least in part, to the angiogenic effect of locally produced TNF-alpha and PAF.

Naturally occurring anti-inflammatory factors in the synovial fluids of patients with rheumatic disease and their possible mode of action.

Evidence has been shown that pathological synovial fluid contained a substance capable of stabilizing rat liver lysosomes which was partly inactivated by treatment with trypsin and by storage. Such synovial fluid also appeared to contain a substance which labilized lysosomes and which was more stable than the stabilizing substance. (2) The lysosomal stabilizing substance described above was nondialysable and migrated electrophoretically with the alpha and beta globulins to which class it has been tentatively ascribed. (3) Pathological synovial fluid contained proteases which were active at acid pH and at neutral pH. It also appeared to contain a substance capable of inhibiting these proteases. (4) Alpha2-Macroglobulin has been detected in pathogenic synovial fluid.

Plasma and synovial fluid concentrations of gentamicin in horses after intra-articular administration of buffered and unbuffered gentamicin.

The concentration of gentamicin in plasma and synovial fluid of normal adult horses was measured periodically for 24 hours after IV (2.2 mg/kg of body weight), intra-articular (IA; 150 mg), and simultaneous IV and IA administrations. Gentamicin also was buffered with sodium bicarbonate (3 mEq) and then was administered IA and simultaneously IV and IA. Synovial fluid specimens were obtained via an indwelling catheter placed into the antebrachiocarpal joint. The peak mean plasma gentamicin concentration (8.30 micrograms/ml) after IV administration was significantly (P less than 0.05) greater than that (0.69 microgram/ml) after IA administration of gentamicin and that (0.55 microgram/ml) after administration of gentamicin buffered with sodium bicarbonate. Gentamicin concentration greater than a therapeutic concentration was not attained in the plasma after IA administration of buffered or unbuffered gentamicin. The peak mean synovial fluid concentration (1,828 micrograms/ml) after IA administration of unbuffered gentamicin was significantly (P less than 0.05) greater than that (2.53 micrograms/ml) after IV administration and significantly (P less than 0.05) less than that (5,720 micrograms/ml) after simultaneous IV and IA administration. The peak mean synovial fluid concentration after IA administration of buffered gentamicin, with and without simultaneous IV administration (2,128 and 2,680 micrograms/ml, respectively), was not significantly different than that after IA treatment with unbuffered gentamicin. Mean synovial fluid concentration did not differ significantly between groups after IA administration of gentamicin in any combination at postinjection hours 8, 12, and 24, but remained significantly (P less than 0.05) greater than that at the same times after IV administration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Infrequency of detection of particle-associated MSRV/HERV-W RNA in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the recently identified multiple sclerosis-associated retrovirus, MSRV, is detectable in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was used to seek evidence of particle-associated MSRV/HERV-W RNA in the plasma and synovial fluid of patients with RA and controls. Stringent precautions were taken to avoid detection of contaminating human genomic DNA and cellular RNA sequences. RESULTS: Thirty-seven plasma samples were tested (20 from RA patients and 17 from controls) but none had detectable MSRV/HERV-W RNA. Synovial fluid samples were available from nine patients with RA and 10 controls. Particle-associated MSRV/HERV-W RNA was reproducibly detected in two of nine synovial fluid samples from RA patients and in one control sample. The identity of RT-PCR products was confirmed by sequencing. CONCLUSION: MSRV/HERV-W RNA sequences are detectable in the synovial fluid of a small proportion of RA patients, but this phenomenon may not be specific to RA.

Synovial fluid and plasma kinetics of methylprednisolone and methylprednisolone acetate in horses following intra-articular administration of methylprednisolone acetate.

Synovial fluid and plasma kinetics of methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) and methylprednisolone (MP) after a single intra-articular administration of MPA at a therapeutic dose (111 mg in toto) was measured in five horses. MPA was detected in synovial fluid for two to six days post injection and MP, which results from synovial MPA hydrolysis, was present in pharmacologically significant concentrations for 4.8 to 39 days, depending on the horse. MPA synovial concentration was maximal (289 +/- 284 micrograms/ml) at the first sampling time (2 h after administration) and MP synovial concentration was maximal (from 58.9 to 379.5 micrograms/ml) at the first or second sampling time (2 to 10 h after administration). Thereafter, both MP and MPA declined rapidly. From time of administration to about five days later, MP synovial fluid concentration fell progressively with a half-time of 9.95 h. Subsequently, the MP synovial fluid concentration decreased more slowly with an apparent half-time of 115 h. During the first 24 h following MPA administration, trace amounts of MP (less than 5 ng/ml) were detected in plasma. Plasma hydrocortisone levels were depressed for three to four days after administration but adrenal responsiveness to adrenocorticotrophic hormone tests remained unaffected.

Analysis of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in synovial fibroblasts and synovial fluids.

We investigated the expression of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in normal and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fibroblasts. In situ hybridization (ISH) was conducted on synovial specimens from five RA patients applying specific probes for COMP or fibroblast collagen type I. ISH was combined with immunohistochemistry, applying antibodies to the macrophage marker CD68. Ribonuclease protection assay (RPA) and rapid amplification of 3'-cDNA ends (3'-RACE) were performed on total RNA from normal and RA synovial fibroblast cultures. Protein extracts from fibroblasts and culture supernatants were compared with synovial fluids and protein extracts from isolated chondrocytes by Western blot utilizing polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies (18-G3 mAb) to COMP. COMP mRNA was detected in fibroblasts of RA synovium by ISH, and in normal and RA synovial fibroblast cultures by RPA. 3'-RACE demonstrated sequence homology of chondrocyte and synovial fibroblast COMP along the coding sequence. COMP protein was detected in synovial fibroblasts and culture supernatants by immunoblot. Using polyclonal antibodies, the major portion of COMP from fibroblasts and culture supernatants was present as low-molecular-weight (LMW) bands, corresponding to those found in synovial fluids. These LMW COMP bands, however, were not detected in any of the cells or tissues tested using 18-G3 mAb. In protein extracts from chondrocytes and in COMP purified from cartilage, these LMW bands could not be detected. In conclusion, the data suggest that certain forms of COMP detected in synovial fluid are secreted from synovial fibroblasts and could be distinguished by specific mAbs from COMP secreted by chondrocytes.

Effects of nalidixic acid on hamster knee cartilage morphology and synovial fluid composition.

Quinolone-induced changes were studied in the knee joints of 4-wk-old female hamsters given intraperitoneal doses of either nalidixic acid (400 mg/kg body weight) or vehicle on days 0 and 1. After euthanasia on day 4, synovial fluid was collected for cytologic evaluation and for analysis of concentrations of hyaluronan, proteoglycans, total protein, and collagen as hydroxyproline. Slides of formalin-fixed decalcified tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin or safranin O for histologic scoring of lesion severity. Nine of 10 hamsters treated with nalidixic acid had fissures within articular cartilage of the femur and reduced safranin O staining of matrix indicative of loss of proteoglycans. Synovial membranes from affected joints, however, were not inflamed. Synovial fluid cell counts and cytomorphology were unaffected by treatment. In synovial fluid from 5 of 10 treated hamsters, proteoglycans were elevated by more than 2 SDs above the control group, and individual animal levels correlated with the histologic severity score (r2 = 0.36; p = 0.02). The hyaluronan content of the synovial fluid from treated hamsters was mildly but significantly elevated (p = 0.005), and the histologic severity score again correlated with individual animal levels (r2 = 0.42; p = 0.01). Hydroxyproline was unaffected by treatment. Although synovial fluid changes and histologic changes were correlated on a group basis, interanimal variability was significant and the magnitude of biochemical changes were far smaller than those that occur during inflammation. Changes in synovial fluid composition are not sufficiently robust to predict cartilage changes in individual animals.

The determination of inorganic sulphate in serum and synovial fluid by high performance ion chromatography.

A method for the determination of inorganic sulphate based on high performance ion chromatography is presented. The separation was performed on an anion-exchange column with a 1.8 mmol/l sodium carbonate/ 1.7 mmol/l sodium hydrogen carbonate-buffer, pH 10.35. Conductivity of the eluate was monitored after suppression of the background conductivity caused by the eluent-buffer. Serum and synovial fluid samples were prepared by ultrafiltration through membranes with a molecular mass cutoff of M(r) 10,000. The viscosity of the synovial fluids was reduced by treatment with hyaluronate lyase before ultrafiltration. The method showed a linear response for sulphate concentrations between 0.5 and 1000 mumol/l. The limit of detection was 1 mumol/l for aqueous standards. For serum the coefficient of variation within-run was 2.3%-2.4%, the coefficient of variation between days 2.9%-3.1%. For synovial fluids the coefficient of variation within-run was 3.1%-3.4%, the coefficient of variation between days 4.6%-5.7%. Standard recovery experiments performed by spiking pools of human sera containing low sulphate concentrations with sulphate concentrations between 5 mumol/l and 40 mumol/l showed recoveries between 98.9% and 100.6%. The corresponding experiments with pools of synovial fluids showed recoveries of 98.3% to 100.9%. As determined from 127 serum samples the reference range for sulphate was 262 mumol/l-420 mumol/l, with a mean value of 314 mumol/l. No dependence on age or sex was observed. The sulphate concentration in 36 synovial fluids from knees affected by inflammatory processes showed a mean value of 424 mumol/l and a standard deviation of 70 mumol/l. In 41 synovial fluids from knees affected by chronic degeneration joint disease, the sulphate concentrations were statistically significantly lower, with a mean of 374 mumol/l and a standard deviation of 58 mumol/l. The concentrations of sulphate in the synovial fluids were statistically significantly higher than those in the serum samples used for determination of the reference range. Following the oral application of a subtoxic single dose of acetaminophen (32.5 mg/kg body weight-62.5 mg/kg body weight) to 4 healthy volunteers, there was a significant decrease in the concentration of sulphate in serum with a minimum at 4-5 h after application of the drug. The cumulative concentration decrease of sulphate in serum and the kinetic constant of the sulphate depletion were not correlated with the applied acetaminophen dose normalized for body weight.
