Intraperitoneally administered chondroitin sulfate E inhibited the development of antibody-induced arthritis, a model of rheumatoid arthritis, while chondroitin 4-sulfate showed no effects. Chondroitin sulfate E inhibited in vitro differentiation of osteoclasts, which play key roles in the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis. One of the targets of chondroitin sulfate E is midkine, a heparin-binding growth factor or cytokine. Indeed, a chimeric-type siRNA for midkine inhibited the development of antibody-induced arthritis and adhesion of the omentum to the injured abdominal wall. These results indicate the significance of midkine as a molecular target to treat or prevent rheumatoid arthritis and adhesion after surgery, and the utility of chondroitin sulfate E to inhibit midkine in vivo.
