    • Abstract:
      The aim of this study was to explore the effect and mechanism of Sirt6 on DNA damage repair in OA chondrocytes. Cartilage tissues were collected from OA patients with knee arthroplasty and traumatic amputation patients without OA. Besides, 7-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into Control and OA groups; CHON-001 cells of corresponding groups were treated with 10 ng/ml interleukin (IL)-1β, respectively. Subsequently, Sirt6 or siNrf2 was over-expressed in CHON-001 cells to observe the effect of Sirt6 on DNA damage and senescence of chondrocytes by IL-1β through the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway. The expression level of Sirt6 in human and mouse OA cartilage tissues was significantly decreased. However, 24 h of treatment with IL-1β significantly decreased the expression of Sirt6 in chondrocytes, induced DNA damage, and promoted cellular senescence. In addition, over-expression of Sirt6 promoted DNA damage repair and inhibited cellular senescence in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. Moreover, the overexpression of Sirt6 activated the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in chondrocytes, while knockdown of Nrf2 expression inhibited the DNA damage repair and anti-senescence effects of Sirt6 on IL-1β-treated chondrocytes. Sirt6 may reduce DNA damage and cellular senescence in OA chondrocytes induced by IL-1β through activating the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
