Osteoarthritis (OA) etiology is multifactorial, and its prevalence is growing globally. The Gut microbiota shapes our immune system and impacts all aspects of health and disease. The idea of utilizing probiotics to treat different conditions prevails. Concerning musculoskeletal illness and health, current data lack the link to understand the interactions between the host and microbiome. We report that (as probiotics), and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) harbour against osteoarthritis in vivo and alleviate IL-1β induced changes in chondrocytes in vitro. We examined the increased GABA concentration in mice's serum and small intestine content followed by bacterial treatment. The treatment inhibited the catabolism of cartilage and rescued mice joints from degradation. Furthermore, the anabolic markers upregulated and decreased inflammatory markers in mice knee joints and chondrocytes. This study is the first to represent GABA's chondrogenic and chondroprotective effects on joints and human chondrocytes. This data provides a foundation for future studies to elucidate the role of GABA in regulating chondrocyte cell proliferation. These findings opened future horizons to understanding the gut-joint axis and OA treatment. Thus, probiotic/GABA therapy shields OA joints in mice and could at least serve as adjuvant therapy to treat osteoarthritis.
骨关节炎(OA)的病因是多因素的,其全球患病率正在上升。肠道微生物群塑造我们的免疫系统,并影响健康和疾病的各个方面。利用益生菌治疗不同病症的想法很普遍。关于肌肉骨骼疾病和健康,目前的数据缺乏理解宿主与微生物组之间相互作用的联系。我们报告称,(作为益生菌)和γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)在体内对骨关节炎具有保护作用,并在体外减轻白细胞介素-1β诱导的软骨细胞变化。我们检测了细菌治疗后小鼠血清和小肠内容物中GABA浓度的增加。该治疗抑制了软骨的分解代谢,并使小鼠关节免于退化。此外,小鼠膝关节和软骨细胞中的合成代谢标志物上调,炎症标志物减少。本研究首次揭示了GABA对关节和人软骨细胞的软骨生成和软骨保护作用。这些数据为未来阐明GABA在调节软骨细胞增殖中的作用的研究奠定了基础。这些发现为理解肠道-关节轴和OA治疗开辟了未来的视野。因此,益生菌/GABA疗法可保护小鼠的OA关节,至少可作为治疗骨关节炎的辅助疗法。
