We investigated the feasibility of the intra-articular injection of resveratrol for preventing the progression of existing cartilage degeneration in a mouse model of osteoarthritis (OA). The effects of resveratrol on the expression of silent information regulator 2 type 1 (SIRT1), hypoxia-inducible factor-2 (HIF-2) and catabolic factors in OA cartilage was explored. OA was induced in the mouse knee via destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM). Resveratrol was injected weekly into the operated knee beginning 4 weeks after surgery. The OA phenotype was evaluated via histological and immunohistochemical analyses at 8 weeks after DMM. Western blot analysis was performed to identify whether resveratrol modulated the interleukin (IL)-1-induced expression of HIF-2 in human chondrocytes. Histologically, resveratrol treatment preserved the structural homeostasis of the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone. Following resveratrol injection, the expression of collagen type II was retained, but the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and matrix metalloproteinase-13 was reduced in OA cartilage. Moreover, the administration of resveratrol significantly induced the activation of SIRT1 and the inhibition of HIF-2 expression in mouse OA cartilage and in IL-1-treated human chondrocytes. These findings indicate that the intra-articular injection of resveratrol significantly prevents the destruction of OA cartilage by activating SIRT1 and thereby suppressing the expression of HIF-2 and catabolic factors.
