The current study aims to evaluate the in vitro effects of ACS on cartilage proteoglycan PG metabolism its composition and the effects on synovial fluid SF cytokine levels following intraarticular ACS administration. Methods The effect of conditioned serum on PG metabolism of cultured OA cartilage explants was compared to unconditioned serum. The effect of serum conditioning on levels of interleukin-1beta IL-1P IL-4 IL-6 IL-10 IL-13 interferon gamma IFN-y tumor necrosis factor alpha TNF-a osteoprotegerin OPG oncostatin M OSM interleukin-1 receptor IL-1ra and transforming growth factor beta TGF-P were measured by multiplex ELISA. As TNF-a levels were found to be increased in conditioned serum the effect of TNF-a inhibition by etanercept on PG metabolism was studied in cartilage explants cultured in the presence of conditioned serum. Furthermore cytokine levels in SF were measured three days after intraarticular ACS injection in OA patients to verify their retention time in the joint space. Results PG metabolism was not different in the presence of conditioned serum compared to unconditioned serum. Levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-1ra TGF-p IL-10 as well as of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 p IL-6 TNF-a and OSM were increased. IL-4 IL-13 and IFN-Y levels remained similar while OPG levels decreased. TNF-a inhibition did not influence PG metabolism in cartilage explant culture in the presence of condtioned serum. Although
