To determine if supplemental intra-articular alpha-2 macroglobulin (A2M) has a chondroprotective effect in a rat OA model. A2M was identified as a potential therapeutic agent by comparing A2M concentrations in serum, synovial fluid (SF), and cartilage from normal and osteoarthritic (OA) patients by Western blotting, mass spectrometry, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The effects of A2M on IL-1-induced cartilage catabolic enzymes were evaluated by Luminex and ELISA in cultured chondrocytes. In vivo effects on cartilage degeneration and MMP-13 concentration were evaluated in male rats (N=120) randomized to four treatments: (1) CLT+saline, (2) ACLT+A2M (1IU/kg), (3) ACLT+A2M (2IU/kg) or (4) sham surgery+saline. Intra-articular injections were given for 6 weeks. The concentration of MMP-13 in SF lavages was measured using ELISA. OA-related gene expression was quantified by RT-qPCR. Histology was performed to grade OA. In both normal and OA patients, the levels of A2M were lower in SF compared to serum, and MMP-13 was higher in SF than serum of OA patients. In vitro, A2M inhibited the induction of MMP-13 by IL-1 in a dose-dependent manner in human chondrocytes. In the rat ACLT OA model, supplemental intra-articular injection of A2M reduced the concentration of MMP-13 in SF, had a favorable effect on OA-related gene expression, and attenuated OA progression. A2M is a plasma protease inhibitor that is not present in sufficient concentrations to inactivate the high concentrations of catabolic factors found in OA SF. Our findings suggest that supplemental intra-articular A2M provides chondral protection for post traumatic OA.
