Zoledronic acid generates a spatiotemporal effect to attenuate osteoarthritis by inhibiting potential Wnt5a-associated abnormal subchondral bone resorption
This study aimed to determine the effects of zoledronic acid (ZOL) on OA in rats and explored the molecular mechanism of osteoclast activation in early OA. A knee OA rat model was designed by surgically destabilizing the medial meniscus (DMM). Seventy-two male rats were randomly assigned to Sham+pho...

description | This study aimed to determine the effects of zoledronic acid (ZOL) on OA in rats and explored the molecular mechanism of osteoclast activation in early OA. A knee OA rat model was designed by surgically destabilizing the medial meniscus (DMM). Seventy-two male rats were randomly assigned to Sham+phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), DMM+PBS, and DMM+ZOL groups; rats were administered with 100 μg/Kg ZOL or PBS, twice weekly for 4 weeks. After 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks of OA induction, the thickness of the hyaline and calcified cartilage layers was calculated using hematoxylin and eosin staining, degenerated cartilage stained with Safranin O-fast green staining was evaluated and scored, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-stained osteoclasts were counted, changes in subchondral bone using micro-computed tomography were analyzed, and PINP and CTX-I levels were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Using these results, 18 male rats were randomly assigned to three groups. Four weeks after surgery, Wnt5a, RANKL, CXCL12, and NFATc1 protein levels were measured in subchondral bone using western blotting, and mRNA levels of genes related to osteoclastogenesis in subchondral bone were measured using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Bone marrow-derived macrophages were isolated as osteoclast precursors, and cell differentiation, migration, and adhesion were assessed by TRAP staining and Transwell assays, revealing that DMM induced knee OA in rats. Progressive cartilage loss was observed 12 weeks after OA induction. Subchondral bone remodeling was dominated by bone resorption during early OA (within 4 weeks), whereas bone formation was increased 8 weeks later. ZOL suppressed bone resorption by inhibiting Wnt5a signaling in early OA, improved the imbalance of subchondral bone remodeling, reduced cartilage degeneration, and delayed OA progression. Additionally, ZOL delayed OA progression and reduced cartilage degeneration via a spatiotemporal effect in DMM-induced OA. Osteoclast activity in early OA might be associated with Wnt5a signaling, indicating a possible novel strategy for OA treatment. |
