This study investigated the combined effects of traumatic overloading and IL-1 beta challenge on the metabolic activities of chondrocytes, revealing the collaborative impact of mechanical damage to cartilage and inflammatory cytokines. The new click chemistry-based methods provided convenient and sensitive assays for measuring cellular metabolic activities in native three-dimensional environments.
During traumatic joint injuries, impact overloading can cause mechanical damage to the cartilage. In the following inflammation phase, excessive inflammatory cytokines (e.g., interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta)) can act on chondrocytes, causing over-proliferation, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation that can lead to osteoarthritis. This study investigated the combined effects of traumatic overloading and IL-1 beta challenge on the metabolic activities of chondrocytes. Bovine cartilage explants underwent impact overloading followed by IL-1 beta exposure at a physiologically relevant dosage (1 ng/mL). New click chemistry-based methods were developed to visualize and quantify the proliferation of in situ chondrocytes in a nondestructive manner without the involvement of histological sectioning or antibodies. Click chemistry-based methods were also employed to measure the ECM synthesis and degradation in cartilage explants. As the click reactions are copper-free and bio-orthogonal, i.e., with negligible cellular toxicity, cartilage ECM was cultured and studied for 6 weeks. Traumatic overloading induced significant cell death, mainly in the superficial zone. The high number of dead cells reduced the overall proliferation of chondrocytes as well as the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and collagen contents, but overloading alone had no effects on ECM degradation. IL-1 beta challenge had little effect on cell viability, proliferation, or protein synthesis but induced over 40% GAG loss in 10 days and 61% collagen loss in 6 weeks. For the overloaded samples, IL-1 beta induced greater degrees of degradation, with 68% GAG loss in 10 days and 80% collagen loss in 6 weeks. The results imply a necessary immediate ease of inflammation after joint injuries when trauma damage on cartilage is present. The new click chemistry methods could benefit many cellular and tissue engineering studies, providing convenient and sensitive assays of metabolic activities of cells in native three-dimensional (3D) environments.
