Functional alterations of peripheral blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells in erosive hand osteoarthritis: modulation by resveratrol

Clin Exp RheumatolPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

PB-MSCs from EHOA patients exhibit functional alterations consistent with reduced regenerative potential. RSV preconditioning partially improved MSC viability and chondrogenic properties.

Study context

Population
Patients with erosive hand OA and age- and sex-matched healthy donors
Comparison
PB-MSCs from erosive hand osteoarthritis (EHOA) vs age- and sex-matched healthy donors; effects of resveratrol preconditioning
Methodological detailsin vitro, age- and sex-matched healthy donors
  • In vitro
  • Age- and sex-matched healthy donors

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • EHOA MSC-derived chondrocytes: increased apoptosis, reduced chondrogenic potential markers, hypertrophic features and decreased extracellular matrix vs healthy donors
  • Alterations in autophagy-related markers
  • Resveratrol (RSV) pretreatment significantly improved cell survival, enhanced chondrogenic marker expression and increased extracellular matrix in vitro
  • Serum β-catenin significantly higher in EHOA, correlated with clinical and imaging indicators of disease severity
