Matrix metalloproteinase 13–deficient mice are resistant to osteoarthritic cartilage erosion but not chondrocyte hypertrophy or osteophyte development
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP‐13; collagenase 3) in osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: OA was surgically induced in the knees of MMP‐13–knockout mice and wild‐type mice, and mice were compared. Histologic scoring of femoral and tibial cartilage aggrecan loss (0–3 scale), erosion (0–7 scale), and chondrocyte hypertrophy (0–1 scale), as well as osteophyte size (0–3 scale) and maturity (0–3 scale) was performed. Serial sections were stained for type X collagen and the MMP‐generated aggrecan neoepitope DIPEN. Results: Following surgery, aggrecan loss and cartilage erosion were more severe in the tibia than femur ( P < 0.01) and tibial cartilage erosion increased with time ( P < 0.05) in wild‐type mice. Cartilaginous osteophytes were present at 4 weeks and underwent ossification, with size and maturity increasing by 8 weeks ( P < 0.01). There was no difference between genotypes in aggrecan loss or cartilage erosion at 4 weeks. There was less tibial cartilage erosion in knockout mice than in wild‐type mice at 8 weeks ( P < 0.02). Cartilaginous osteophytes were larger in knockout mice at 4 weeks ( P < 0.01), but by 8 weeks osteophyte maturity and size were no different from those in wild‐type mice. Articular chondrocyte hypertrophy with positive type X collagen and DIPEN staining occurred in both wild‐type and knockout mouse joints. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that structural cartilage damage in a mouse model of OA is dependent on MMP‐13 activity. Chondrocyte hypertrophy is not regulated by MMP‐13 activity in this model and does not in itself lead to cartilage erosion. MMP‐13 deficiency can inhibit cartilage erosion in the presence of aggrecan depletion, supporting the potential for therapeutic intervention in established OA with MMP‐13 inhibitors.

“In the early phases of OA, MMP-13 is predominantly expressed in the lower intermediate and deep layers of human and mouse cartilage, whereas aggrecanases are expressed in the superficial cartilage [25,26].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
