Osteoarthritis (OA) is primarily characterized by progressive degeneration and destruction of articular cartilage. Currently, there is no effective method to treat OA. The metabolic disturbance of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) and oxidative stress are critical to promote OA progression. Galangin (Gal) is a small molecule compound that pertains to flavonoids. To determine the protective effect and mechanism of Gal against OA progression, various experiments were performed in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, Gal promoted ECM production and attenuated ECM degradation in human OA chondrocytes. The expression of ECM components from human OA cartilage explants was also stimulated by Gal treatment. As demonstrated from the in vivo study, the intra-articular injection of Gal delayed OA progression in rat models. Moreover, RNA sequencing analysis showed that proline/arginine-rich end leucine repeat protein (PRELP) was a molecular target of Gal activity. Gal inhibited oxidative stress and attenuated ECM degradation by activating PRELP expression. The study demonstrated that Gal could attenuate ECM degradation and ameliorate OA progression, and PRELP may be a potential candidate drug of Gal for treating OA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010003 Osteoarthritis A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.

D005109 Extracellular Matrix A meshwork-like substance found within the extracellular space and in association with the basement membrane of the cell surface. It promotes cellular proliferation and provides a supporting structure to which cells or cell lysates in culture dishes adhere. Matrix, Extracellular,Extracellular Matrices,Matrices, Extracellular

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D016326 Extracellular Matrix Proteins Macromolecular organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and usually, sulfur. These macromolecules (proteins) form an intricate meshwork in which cells are embedded to construct tissues. Variations in the relative types of macromolecules and their organization determine the type of extracellular matrix, each adapted to the functional requirements of the tissue. The two main classes of macromolecules that form the extracellular matrix are: glycosaminoglycans, usually linked to proteins (proteoglycans), and fibrous proteins (e.g., COLLAGEN; ELASTIN; FIBRONECTINS; and LAMININ).
