Objective: To investigate the effect of adenosine kinase inhibition on interleukin (IL)-1 beta- and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cartilage damage.Design: Articular cartilage was obtained from the metacarpophalangeal joints of 10 young adult horses. Following a stabilization period, weighed cartilage explants were exposed to IL-1 beta (10 ng/ml) or LPS (50 mu g/ml) to induce cartilage degradation. To test the potential protective effects of adenosine, these explants were simultaneously exposed to adenosine (100 mu M), the adenosine kinase inhibitor 5'iodotubercidin (ITU, 1 mu M) or to both adenosine and ITU. After 72 h in culture, conditioned medium was collected for evaluation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG), nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 release.Results: IL-1 beta and LIPS stimulated significant release of GAG, NO, PGE(2) and MMP-3. Incubation with ITU significantly inhibited both IL-1 beta- and LPS-induced GAG release, but did not alter MMP-3 production. Exposure to ITU also reduced IL-1 beta-induced PGE2 release and LPS-induced NO production. Direct adenosine supplementation did not attenuate the effects of IL-1 beta or LPS, and the addition of adenosine or ITU in the absence of IL-1 beta or LPS did not have any detectable effect on cartilage metabolism in this model.Conclusions: The adenosine kinase inhibitor ITU attenuated experimentally induced cartilage damage in an in vitro cartilage explant model. Release of adenosine from chondrocytes may play a role in the cellular response to tissue damage in arthritic conditions and modulation of these pathways in the joint may have potential for treatment of arthropathies.
