Nrf2, a redox regulated transcription factor, has recently been shown to play a role in cartilage integrity but the mechanism remains largely unknown. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease in which focal degradation of cartilage occurs. Here, we studied whether Nrf2 exerts chondroprotective effects by suppressing the oxidative stress and apoptosis in IL-1β stimulated human OA chondrocytes. Expression of Nrf2 and its target genes HO-1, NQO1 and SOD2 was significantly high in OA cartilage compared to normal cartilage and was also higher in damaged area compared to smooth area of OA cartilage of the same patient. Human chondrocytes treated with IL-1β resulted in robust Nrf2/ARE reporter activity, which was inhibited by pretreatment with antioxidants indicating that Nrf2 activity was due to IL-1β-induced ROS generation. Ectopic expression of Nrf2 significantly suppressed the IL-1β-induced generation of ROS while Nrf2 knockdown significantly increased the basal as well as IL-1β-induced ROS levels in OA chondrocytes. Further, Nrf2 activation significantly inhibited the IL-1β-induced activation of extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways as determined by inhibition of DNA fragmentation, activation of Caspase-3,-8,-9, cleavage of PARP, release of cytochrome-c, suppression of mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial ROS production in OA chondrocytes. Nrf2 over-expression in OA chondrocytes increased the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins while pro-apoptotic proteins were suppressed. Importantly, Nrf2 over-expression activated ERK1/2 and its downstream targets-ELK1, P70S6K and P90RSK and suppressed the IL-1β-induced apoptosis whereas inhibition of ERK1/2 activation abrogated the protective effects of Nrf2 in OA chondrocytes. Taken together, our data demonstrate that Nrf2 is a stress response protein in OA chondrocytes with anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic function and acts via activation of ERK1/2/ELK1-P70S6K-P90RSK signaling axis. These activities of Nrf2 make it a promising candidate for the development of novel therapies for the management of OA.
