Abstrakt: Osteoarthritis is a debilitating, progressive joint disease linked to lower quality of life and higher health care costs. This study compared hyaluronic acid-chitosan nanoparticle encapsulation to hyaluronic-acid monotherapy in a rat model of knee osteoarthritis. Four groups of 40 adult male albino rats were designed. Group (Gp) I: control; Gp II (osteoarthritis model): intra-articular injection of monoiodoacetate; Gp III (hyaluronic acid-treated): intra-articular injections of hyaluronic-acid on days 14 and 21 after monoiodoacetate injection; and Gp IV (hyaluronic acid-chitosan nanoparticle-treated): intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid-chitosan nanoparticle on days 14 and 21 after monoiodoacetate injection. After 28 days, knee joints were examined using H&E, Safranin O, and immunohistochemistry for nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13. Quantification for gene expression of collagen-II, aggrecan, and micro-RNA-140; ELISA for interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-8; and western blotting for IKBα and NF-κB was estimated. Osteoarthritis-knee joints showed a severe cartilage damage and synovial inflammation with increased NF-κB, iNOS, and MMP-13 immunostaining, decreased miR-140, collagen II, and aggrecan levels, and increased inflammatory markers' gene expressions. The hyaluronic acid-chitosan nanoparticle significantly improved knee joint structure and reduced inflammatory cytokines compared to hyaluronic acid monotherapy. Intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid-chitosan nanoparticle encapsulation revealed a significant improvement in the knee joint structure compared to hyaluronic-acid in a rat model of osteoarthritis.
