Introduction and aim: Joint bleeding results in blood-induced arthropathy. We investigate whether a joint bleed alters protease-activated receptor (PAR) expression, and whether treatment with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeted against PAR1-4 attenuates synovitis and cartilage damage. Methods: Protease-activated receptor expression was evaluated upon a joint bleed in haemophilic mice and in humans. In addition, mice with a joint bleed were randomized between treatment with PAR1-4 siRNA or control and evaluated for the presence of synovitis and cartilage damage. Also, human cartilage was transfected with PAR1-4 siRNA or control, and evaluated for plasmin-induced cartilage damage. Results: Following a joint bleed, we observed an increase in synovial PAR1, -2 and -4 expression, and an increase in chondrocyte PAR2 and -3 expression in mice (all P < 0.05). Also an increase in synovial PAR1 and chondrocyte PAR4 expression in patients was observed (both P < 0.05). Treatment of a joint bleed in haemophilic mice with PAR1-4 siRNA attenuates synovitis and cartilage damage (both P < 0.01). Treatment of human cartilage tissue explants with PAR1-4 siRNA reduced plasmin-induced cartilage damage (P < 0.01). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that synovial and chondrocyte PAR expression is altered upon a joint bleed, and that treatment with PAR1-4 siRNA attenuates synovitis and plasmin-induced cartilage damage.
