ABSTRACT PURPOSE: The effect of resveratrol on subchondral bone in osteoarthritis was explored by constructing a mouse model of osteoarthritis and giving resveratrol as intervention. METHODS: The degree of proteoglycan loss in articular cartilage was assessed by safranine fast green staining. The expressions of Lubricin and Aggrecan, COLX, and MMP-13, the co-expression of CD31 and Endomucin, and the expression of angiogenesis-related factors were determined by immunohistochemistry. TRAP stain and immunostaining were used to assess abnormal subchondral bone resorption and bone formation. Angiography was employed to analyze the effect of resveratrol on the proliferation of subchondral bone vessels. RESULTS: Resveratrol inhibited cartilage thickening and the increase of COLX and MMP-13 expression, delayed the loss of proteoglycan, Lubricin, and Aggrecan, and i nhibited osteoclast differentiation by up-regulating osteoprotegerin (OPG) and down-regulating the expression of RANKL. Angiography showed that resveratrol can reduce the abnormally elevated number and volume of blood vessels in the subchondral bone. Immunostaining showed that resveratrol inhibited CD31hiEmcnhi angiogenesis and high expression of VEGFA and Angiopoietin-1. CONCLUSION: Resveratrol inhibits osteoclast differentiation and reduces active bone resorption by regulating the OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway, and inhibits the abnormal proliferation of CD31hiEmcnhi blood vessels by downregulating the expression of VEGFA and Angiopoiein-1, thereby eliminating the pathologic coupling mechanism of osteogenesis and vascularization, and delaying the progression of osteoarthritis.
