Interleukin 17 induces cartilage collagen breakdown: novel synergistic effects in combination with proinflammatory cytokines. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 nuclear translocation induces myofibroblastic dedifferentiation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. A rat model of fatty liver disease showed that TNF- antibody treatment reduced inflammation and fibrosis, as well as serum TGF- in experimental models.285,288. Some MMPs are associated with the progression of fibrosis, however, some have a protective effect.153,154 TGF- also induces tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPS) that block ECM degradation and regulate MMP activity.1,15,81 MMPs play a key role in regulating a number of processes including ECM remodelling, proliferation, apoptosis and angiogenesis.155 MMPs are also induced by IL-17A, another cytokine with a significant involvement in the development of fibrosis15 (see below). J. Immunol. Now, due to advances in surgical techniques and rehabilitation, most surgeons are instructing their patients to move the joint within hours or days of surgery, and that's lowered the likelihood of arthrofibrosis. Wound Repair Regen. Antioxid. Arthritis Care Res. Arthrofibrosis is a complication of the knee that occurs when the joint becomes stiff losing pain-free range of motion. Nanthakumar, C. B. et al. This forms adhesions within joint capsules and contracts tendons and bursa around the joint,3 causing the loss of joint flexion and/or extension. Antioxid. Blander, J. M., Longman, R. S., Iliev, I. D., Sonnenberg, G. F. & Artis, D. Regulation of inflammation by microbiota interactions with the host. Dennis, D. A. Cell Motil. In addition this review examines currently available medications and developing pharmacological therapies that hold significant promise in the treatment of arthrofibrosis. Myofibroblasts revert to an inactive phenotype during regression of liver fibrosis. Over time the focal adhesions become more complex and further tissue contractions occur, together with extensive collagen cross-linking.108, Myofibroblasts are important in wound healing, however, they are not usually found in healthy tissue.103 They are derived from fibroblasts115,116 and a range of other cells107,113 that have differentiated in response to inflammatory cytokines such as TGF-, IL-1 and IL-6. Arthrofibrosis of the knee is a significant complication after intraarticular injury, including trauma, infection, surgical repair or reconstruction and knee arthroplasty. 103). 2015, 114 (2015). Bone marrow-derived MSCs transform into myofibroblasts in rats293 and organ-resident MSC-like cells have been shown by genetic lineage tracing to transform into myofibroblasts and contribute to fibrosis progression in mice.107 Mice with liver fibrosis treated with bone marrow-derived human MSCs showed that some of the donated cells appeared to differentiate into myofibroblasts in the liver.294,295 It is not known how closely these cells resemble the MSC lineages used in in vitro studies. Physiol. Akdis, M. et al. Likewise, treatments for organ fibrosis are also likely to be useful for treating arthrofibrosis. These diverse stimuli include ROS, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), mitochondrial DNA and proteins released from damaged ECM, such as hyaluronan, heparin sulphate and biglycan.2,120. Arufe, M.

Arthrofibrosis is a condition of the knees that causes pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. During normal wound healing and resolution of inflammation some myofibroblasts become apoptotic, while others revert to the original cell type, however, the processes by which this occurs are not yet understood.90 In fibrosis epigenetic alterations in myofibroblasts increase the activity of inflammatory and pro-fibrotic genes118 (see below in Epigenetic alterations), and appear to serve as a type of memory of the insult.108 Myofibroblasts that have reverted back to fibroblasts are more likely to become re-activated when exposed to further insult.60,90 This has implications for repeated joint surgeries as fibrosis may resolve naturally and unnoticed, but the presence of reverted fibroblasts that serve as a store of pre-fibrotic cells may leave the patient susceptible to arthrofibrosis after subsequent surgeries, as discussed earlier. 32, 531538 (2003).

In addition, TGF- induces epigenetic modifications147 (see Epigenetic alterations below) and upregulates matricellular proteins, which interact with cell surface receptors and the ECM.1 However, the specific DNA sequences that are upregulated by TGF- signalling is dependent on cell-specific DNA-binding co-factors.94. Sci. J. Pharmacol. J. Exp. 18, 165175 (2007). Trautwein, C., Friedman, S. L., Schuppan, D. & Pinzani, M. Hepatic fibrosis: concept to treatment. Most cases of arthrofibrosis are due to a previous injury or surgery and having the body form significant scar tissue. Commonly used histological stains are easily applied and readily visualise fibrotic tissue and ECM,218 permitting patient diagnosis and visualisation of treatment efficacy in animal models. In addition to proteins the ground substance of the ECM is comprised of proteoglycans, and these bind and inhibit or enhance a range of growth factors, proteases, protease inhibitors and TGF- (for review see ref. Women have been reported to be more likely to develop arthrofibrosis than men,21,63 with studies citing rates 2.52.8 times higher,29,64 although others have not found a gender difference.33,38 It has been suggested that the higher rates of arthrofibrosis in women may be due to psychological differences between the genders and that women may be less active post-operatively, may not perform rehabilitation as well as men, may seek more medical interventions, and have different pain tolerance than men.29 But Hemsley65 found no differences in pain perception or pain reflex between patients at 6 weeks post-ACL reconstruction surgery, almost half of whom did not recover full ROM.

Cytokines and growth factors in wound drainage fluid from patients undergoing incisional hernia repair. Neutralisation of TGF- may be a powerful therapy that interrupts the positive-feedback loop between this cytokine and myofibroblasts,94 and could potentially lead to the resolution of active arthrofibrosis.

M. Interleukin (IL)-6 modulates transforming growth factor-beta receptor I and II (TGF-betaRI and II) function in epidermal keratinocytes. Because fibrosis is caused by an imbalance in cytokine production activated by high levels of TNF-, IL-1,139 TGF- and other mediators an effective therapeutic approach may involve regulating cytokines and mediators to favour resolution. J. Immunol. This approach could be used to prevent the return of arthrofibrosis at the time of surgery to lyse adhesions and remove ECM. 32, 603611 (2011).

Matrix metalloproteases in aberrant fibrotic tissue remodeling. Sci. MMPs and TIMPS have an important role in fibrosis by controlling matrix degradation.104,117 They are produced by macrophages and can have pro- or anti-fibrotic properties depending on the microenvironment and cytokine expression.116,117 MMP1, MMP8 and MMP13 appear to be important in the context of fibrosis due to their ability to cleave collagens 1, 11 and 111.104 Mature ECM with extensive cross-linking is resistant to degradation, and appears to promote the survival of myofibroblasts and further collagen deposition.117 Fibrotic tissue also has reduced vascularisation, and cells within fibrotic tissue express a hypoxia-specific gene and proteins that indicate oxidative stress (see above).13,101, Substance P is an immunomodulatory neuropeptide released by a variety of cells immediately following injury.

However, M2 macrophages secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-10 and IL-13, and are important in the resolution of inflammation.120, Recent research shows that distinct macrophage populations may control the initiation, maintenance and resolution of fibrosis.81 Macrophages are an important source of the pro-fibrosis mediators TGF-, IL-1 and PDGF.46 PDGF promotes the migration, proliferation and survival of myofibroblasts,121,122 and upregulates TGF- synthesis by fibroblasts.123 In addition, the production of IL-1 by macrophages can stimulate inflammasomes in the lung.46 Macrophages may be able to regulate ECM synthesis independently of TGF-,119,124 however, macrophages are also involved in the resolution of fibrosis via multiple mechanisms, including the clearing of excess collagen from damaged tissues and the secretion of collagenases that degrade ECM components.81. After 5 and half months the arthrofibrosis resolved, and the knee became fully functional without pain and with stable active flexion of about 110. Am. & Henderson, N. C.

Long-term valproic acid treatment also reduced ROS, TNF-, IL-6, IL-1 and NF-B activity and expression in diseased rat hearts.280 Other epigenetic compounds are reviewed by Nebbioso et al.217 and van Beneden et al.218, Dietary phytochemicals may also be useful, with many, including polyphenols, curcumin, quercetin, soy isoflavones, lycopene and resveratrol shown to reverse epigenetic modifications, often acting on more than one class of epigenetic modification.281, A number of TGF- neutralising antibodies have been developed and tested in a range of conditions including OA. Brown, C. A., Toth, A. P. & Magnussen, B. J. Chem. For example, a young female patient with minimal loss of ROM but considerable pain underwent three surgeries to lyse ECM and adhesions, however, each surgery appeared to worsen the pain and inflammation despite a focus on decreasing inflammation.
