Resumen: Background. β-Ecdysone has been reported to perform a protective effect to prevent interleukin 1β (IL-1β)-induced apoptosis and inflammatory response in chondrocytes. In our study, the chondroprotective effects of β-Ecdysone were explored in a mouse model of collagenase-induced osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. Injection of collagenase in the left knee was implemented to establish a mouse model of OA. The histomorphological analysis was detected using safranine O staining. Serum pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA assays. Protein expression in the femur and chondrocytes was analyzed using western blot. Chondrocyte apoptosis was evaluated by terminaldeoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Results. Treatment of OA mice with β-Ecdysone supplementation significantly inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Histologic examination exhibited that the degradation of proteoglycans and the loss of trabecular bone were observed in collagenaseinjected mice. However, OA-like changes were attenuated by β-Ecdysone administration in collagenaseinjected mice. Both in vivo and in vitro models, nuclear forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) protein expression was significantly reduced in the femur of collagenase-treated mice and IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes. However, βEcdysone treatment was able to rescue FOXO1 protein expression in the nucleus to inhibit the transcription and translation of a disintegrin-like and metallopeptidase (reprolysin type) with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5. Conclusion. The findings suggested that β-Ecdysone functioned as a FOXO1 activator to protect collagenaseinduced cartilage damage. FOXO1 might be a potential molecular target of β-Ecdysone for the effective prevention and treatment of OA.
