PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) results from a combination of natural wear and tear associated with aging and/or unnatural mechanical loading on the joint. Patients who suffer a joint injury (e.g., ligament damage) have increased risk for early development of OA. Injury-related post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) often occurs in younger patients. PTOA and OA are both associated with articular cartilage erosion and other joint changes that cause pain and loss in quality of life. The available treatments only provide temporary pain relief. However, alleviation of pain only briefly masks the disease and does not halt or slow its progression. Progression of PTOA/OA to the point where joint replacement becomes necessary is almost inevitable for large joints because there are currently no disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) that can stop progression of or cure the disease. Loss of cartilage associated with OA and PTOA is driven by local upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). We propose that blocking the cartilage-degrading MMPs could stop the progression of PTOA/OA, improve quality of life, and reduce the need for joint replacement in afflicted patients. Pharmaceutical companies have previously tested drugs that can block the activity of MMPs, but these treatments have failed, primarily because their lack of specificity and lack of delivery approaches that localize the drug to the affected joint. We propose to develop intra-articularly injected bioadhesive nanoparticles for locally-retained delivery of short interfering RNA (bioad-si-NPs). The bioad-si-NPs will potently and specifically “knock down” specific MMPs to halt cartilage degradation in joints with OA or at risk of OA development (following injury). The mechanism of siRNA enables these molecules to be selective for specific MMPs, and the bioad-si-NPs are designed to be retained locally at the site of intra-articular delivery; both of these features contribute to our approach having reduced risk of off target side effects. We will test bioad-si-NPs in animal models of both PTOA and spontaneous OA and for inhibition of single or combinations of MMPs. In the setting of spontaneous OA, we will also test the value of initiating treatment at early versus more advanced stages of disease. This project is uniquely accessible through the interdisciplinary team with bioengineering expertise in intracellular biologic drug delivery nanotechnologies and RNA chemistry (Duvall), OA biology and animals models (Hasty), analysis of PTOA/OA animal model joint function/pain (Krug), and clinical care of OA patients (Crofford).

项目概要/摘要 骨关节炎 (OA) 是由与衰老和/或不自然相关的自然磨损和撕裂共同导致的 关节受到机械负荷的患者发生关节损伤（例如韧带损伤）的风险会增加。 损伤相关的创伤后骨关节炎 (PTOA) 的早期发展通常发生在年轻患者中。 PTOA 和 OA 都与关节软骨侵蚀和其他导致疼痛和疼痛的关节变化有关。 生活质量下降。然而，现有的治疗只能暂时缓解疼痛。 仅短暂掩盖疾病，并不能阻止或减缓 PTOA/OA 的进展。 对于大型关节来说，需要更换关节几乎是不可避免的，因为目前还没有 缓解疾病的骨关节炎药物 (DMOAD) 可以阻止疾病的进展或治愈疾病。 与 OA 和 PTOA 相关的软骨损失是由基质金属蛋白酶的局部上调引起的 （MMP）我们建议阻断软骨降解 MMP 可以阻止 PTOA/OA 的进展， 改善生活质量，并减少受影响患者的关节置换需求。 之前已经测试过药物可以阻断 MMP 的活性，但这些治疗方法都失败了，主要是 因为它们缺乏特异性，并且缺乏将药物定位到受影响关节的递送方法。 我们建议开发关节内注射的生物粘附纳米颗粒，用于局部保留短时间的递送 干扰 RNA (bioad-si-NP) bioad-si-NP 将有效且特异性地“击倒”特定 MMP。 阻止患有 OA 或有发生 OA 风险（损伤后）的关节软骨退化。 siRNA 使这些分子能够对特定的 MMP 具有选择性，并且 bioad-si-NP 被设计为 局部保留在关节内分娩部位；这两个特征都有助于我们的方法 我们将在 PTOA 和自发性动物模型中测试 bioad-si-NP。 在自发性 OA 的情况下，我们还将测试单一或组合 MMP 的 OA。 在疾病早期与晚期阶段开始治疗的价值。 该项目是通过具有细胞内生物工程专业知识的跨学科团队独特地实现的 生物药物输送纳米技术和 RNA 化学 (Duvall)、OA 生物学和动物模型 (Hasty)、 PTOA/OA 动物模型关节功能/疼痛分析 (Krug) 以及 OA 患者的临床护理 (Crofford)。
