Characterisation of osteoarthritis in a small animal model of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: ObjectivesOur objective in this article is to test the hypothesis that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a factor in the onset and progression of osteoarthritis, and to characterise the quality of the articular cartilage in an appropriate rat model.MethodsT2DM rats were obtained from the UC Davis group and compared with control Lewis rats. The diabetic rats were sacrificed at ages from six to 12 months, while control rats were sacrificed at six months only. Osteoarthritis severity was determined via histology… Show more

“…Recently, the association between T2D and increased severity of OA has been partly explained by the degradative effect of high hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia on cartilage in cellular and animal studies. 10–13 However, the effect has not been validated in human cartilage yet. In this study, we found a higher histological OARSI score on medial tibial plateau in diabetes group compared to non-diabetic group, which is consistent with previous findings.…”

“…As articular cartilage degradation has long been regarded as the primary characteristic of knee OA, recently the catabolic effect of high concentrations of glucose and insulin on cartilage through molecular and cellular mechanisms was the major explanation for the relationship between T2D and knee OA. 10–13 But most of these data were obtained from cellular or animal models, and the relationship has not been validated in humans yet.…”

“…75 The macroanatomy of cartilage tissue during prolonged metabolic stress and oxidative stress exhibits early changes in the gliding zone, with a thinning of the proteoglycan and collagen layers as well as disorganization of collagen fibre orientation. 64,76 These changes are followed by more extensive degenerative changes in the deeper transitional and radial zones. Microanatomically, a loss of matrix proteins and chondrocytes is observed in all these zones.…”
