Summary: |
Objective: To evaluate the hypothesis that a mechanical stimulus (30-min walk) will produce a change in serum concentrations of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) that is associated with cartilage thickness changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: Serum COMP concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 17 patients (11 females, age: 59.0 ` 9.2 years) with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) at study entry immediately before, immediately after, 3.5 h, and 5.5 h after a 30-min walking activity. Cartilage thickness changes in the medial femur and medial tibia were determined from MR images taken at study entry and at 5-year follow-up. Relationships between changes in cartilage thickness and COMP levels, with post-activity concentrations expressed as a percentage of pre-activity levels, were assessed by the calculation of Pearson correlation coefficients and by multiple linear regression analysis, with adjust- ments for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI).
Results: Changes in COMP levels 3.5 h and 5.5 h post-activity were correlated with changes in cartilage thickness in the medial femur and tibia at the 5-year follow-up. The results were strengthened after analyses were adjusted for age, sex, and BMI. Neither baseline pre-activity COMP levels nor changes in COMP levels immediately post-activity were correlated with cartilage thickness changes. Conclusions: The results of this study support the hypothesis that a change in COMP concentration induced by a mechanical stimulus is associated with cartilage thinning at 5 years. Mechanically-induced changes in mechano-sensitive biomarkers should be further explored in the context of stimuluseresponse models to improve the ability to assess OA progression. |
