Objective: To determine the content of bradykinin (BK) and markers of cartilage degradation and inflammation in the synovial fluid (SF) of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), and to evaluate correlations with biomarkers or clinical parameters. Methods: SFs were obtained from 30 patients with knee OA. Levels of basal and generated BK, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), interleukin (IL) I, IL-6, IL-8 and matrix metalloprotease (MMP) 1, MMP-3, MMP-13 and sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or colorimetric assays. Results: The mean concentration of basal BK (in the presence of peptidase and protease inhibitors to avoid degradation and de nova formation of BK) was 422 pg/ml (95% confidence interval, CI, 281-563) whereas that of in vitro generated BI( (in the presence of peptidase inhibitors SFs were incubated 60 min at 37 degrees C to measure the potential capability to generate BK) was 3427 pg/ml (2591-4264). The content of MMP-13, IL-1 alpha, and IL-1 beta, was under assay sensitivity. Basal BK levels positively correlated (Spearman's rank correlation) with GAGs (40 ig/ml, 26-54, r = 0.4834, P = 0.0308) and IL-6 (553 pg/ml, 171-935, r = 0.3946, P = 0.0377) similarly to the generated BK (GAGs, r = 0.4563, P = 0.0431; IL-6, r = 0.5605, P = 0.0019). Statistical analysis of basal BK and biomarkers was significant (P = 0.0483). When applying a stepwise logistic regression analysis considering biomarkers together with clinical parameters, results indicated that K/L radiographic OA grade and COMP improved the model (P = 0.0032). Conclusion: The presence of BK in the knee OA SF and its correlations with cartilage degradation and inflammation markers of OA support its participation in OA pathology.
