Abstract Age is a primary risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). The mechanisms that contribute to OA are poorly understood and disease modifying treatments have not been identified. A critical shortcoming in developing therapies is the limited number of translational models available to identify the causes of naturally occurring OA. Our goal is to use the common marmoset as a non-human primate (NHP) model of age-related OA. NHP are the closest evolutionary relative to humans and share many characteristics of human aging. The marmoset has advantages over other NHP for aging research because of their relatively short maximal lifespan and small size. Micro-computed tomography (uCT) was performed on whole-knee joints obtained from young (10 yrs, n=3) marmosets at necropsy. OA was evaluated using a clinical uCT scoring system and quantitative assessments of subchondral bone structure and ossified meniscal volume. Advancing age was positively correlated to increased uCT OA score (p<0.05, r=0.59 ), mainly through increased number and size of osteophytes and progressive subchondral bone sclerosis from the medial to both medial and lateral compartments. For marmosets displaying meniscal ossification, older marmosets had greater (p<0.05) ossified meniscal volume than middle-aged and younger marmosets, respectively. Trabecular (p=0.05) and cortical bone thickness (p<0.05) were also lower in older marmosets. These data are the first to indicate that the marmoset develops naturally occurring, age-related OA and support the pursuit of additional studies using the marmoset to identify OA mechanisms and test potential interventions.

Anterior Cruciate

As posttraumatic osteoarthritis (OA) progresses, the mechanical and morphometrical properties of the subchondral bone change and may be linked to damage of the articular cartilage. Potentially to slow that progression, doxycycline was administered orally twice daily (4 mg·kg−1·day−1) in skeletally mature canines after anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLX). To test if doxycycline significantly altered the structure and function of OA bone, we tested cancellous bone mechanical properties, measured bone mineral content, and analyzed bone structure by microcomputed tomography. Our investigation focused on subchondral trabecular bone changes in the medial femoral condyle at 36 and 72 wk after ACLX. Significant mechanical changes discovered at 36 wk post-ACLX were less obvious at 72 wk in both treated and ACLX groups. Doxycycline treatment conserved bone strain energy density at 72 wk. Doxycycline had little effect on the degradation of superficial osseous tissue at 36 wk post-ACLX; by 72 wk, doxycycline in an ACLX model limited subchondral bone loss within the first 3 mm of periarticular bone with established OA. Significant bone loss occurred in the deeper trabecular bone for all groups. Substantial architectural adaptation within deeper trabecular bone accompanied changes in mechanics in early and established OA.

AbstractObjectiveOsteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease of the joints characterized by articular cartilage degradation. While there are clear sex differences in OA development in humans, most pre-clinical research has been conducted solely in male animals thus limiting the ability of these findings to be generalized to both sexes in the context of this disease. The objective of this study was to determine if sex impacts the progression and severity of OA in the rat medial meniscal tear (MMT) preclinical animal model used to surgically induce OA. It was hypothesized that differences would be observed between males and females following MMT surgery.DesignA MMT model was employed in male and female Lewis rats to induce OA. Animals were euthanized 3 weeks post-surgery and EPIC-μCT was used to quantitatively evaluate articular cartilage structure and composition, osteophyte volumes and subchondral bone structure.ResultsQuantitative analysis of the medial 1/3 articular cartilage via EPIC-μCT showed increased cartilage thickness and proteoglycan loss in the MMT of both sexes, when compared to sham. Additionally, both male and female animals in the MMT group had increased subchondral bone mineral density and larger total osteophyte volumes due to MMT.ConclusionThese data demonstrate that OA can be induced in both sexes using the rat MMT model. Moving forward, adding sex as a factor in preclinical OA studies should be standard practice in pre-clinical studies in order to elucidate more inclusive and translatable results into the clinic.
