Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the degeneration of affected joints leading to pain and reduced mobility. Periostin appears as a potential candidate in transducing mechanical signals to stimulate chondrocyte proliferation. 15 rats (E-group) underwent both medial meniscectomy and medial collateral ligament (MCL) transaction, while the other 15 rats (S-group) underwent sham surgery. Animals were killed at 1, 2, and 4 weeks postsurgery, and 5 animals were put into use per-time point in each treatment group. Cartilage was harvested from tibial plateau and femoral condyle. We examined the level of Postn expression in cartilage of the experimental OA, using real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis. The expression of Postn was about 2-fold higher at 1 week (P=0.08<0.05), 4-fold higher at 2 weeks (P=0.003<0.05) and 4-fold higher at 4 weeks (P=0.034<0.05) post-surgery in E-group compared to S-group. Postn protein expression levels were markedly increased in the E-Group compared with the S-Group at 1, 2 and 4 weeks post-surgery. This study will be of benefit to those subsequent studies using the OA model to evaluate the outcomes of Postn epxpression in mechanism of OA. Postn may play prominent roles in pathogenic mechanisms of OA.
