ObjectivesSubstance P (SP) modulates NK1 and has various functions such as pain, bone metabolism and angiogenesis, which are recognized as important factors in the osteoarthritis (OA). We aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of targeting SP on OA progression.MethodsSP expression patterns were analyzed histologically in articular cartilage and subchondral bone of human knees from OA patients and autopsy donors as non-OA samples, and in mice articular cartilage. Moreover, to examine the effect of SP on the progression of OA, we administered drugs to mice following surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus: PBS, septide (NK1 receptor agonist), or aprepitant (NK1 receptor antagonist). Histological analysis and bone morphologic analysis using microCT was performed.ResultsIn human analysis, the expression of SP in mild OA samples was significantly higher than that in severe OA, and that in healthy cartilage was significantly higher than that in OA. In mouse analysis, OARSI scores in the septide group were significantly lower than that in the control group. CT analysis showed that the subchondral bone's epiphysis in the control group had sclerotic change not present in the septide group.ConclusionsThe administration of septide ameliorates OA progression through preventing subchondral bone sclerosis.
