Objective: To assess the cross-sectional association between serum levels of Coll2-1 and Coll2-1NO2, two cartilage degradation biomarkers; the burden of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and clinical outcomes; and to evaluate the predictive value of these biomarkers on progression. Design: A total of 121 subjects with knee osteoarthritis (OA) were followed during 1 year with pain, function, and MRI assessment (PRODIGE study). Type II collagen-specific biomarker Coll2-1 and its nitrated form Coll2-1NO2 were directly measured in serum using immunoassays at baseline and after 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up. Results: Serum Coll2-1 and Coll2-1NO2 were correlated with several baseline knee features quantified with Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS). Coll2-1 was significantly correlated with periarticular cysts/bursitis (ρ = 0.29, P < 0.01), subarticular bone attrition (ρ = 0.25, P = 0.01), subarticular cysts (ρ = 0.24, P = 0.02), and articular cartilage integrity (ρ = 0.23, P = 0.03) WORMS subscores for the whole joint as well as with the medial femorotibial joint sum score (ρ = 0.26, P = 0.01) and medial femorotibial joint cartilage (ρ = 0.23, P = 0.02). Coll2-1NO2 correlated with WORMS total score (ρ = 0.23, P = 0.02), WORMS scores in the patellofemoral (ρ = 0.23, P = 0.02) and medial femorotibial compartments (ρ = 0.21, P = 0.03), with osteophytes scores (ρ = 0.27, P < 0.01), subarticular cysts (ρ = 0.24, P = 0.019), and intraarticular loose bodies (ρ = 0.27, P = 0.007). Baseline Coll2-1NO2 was higher in subjects with a pain worsening (426.4 pg/mL [278.04-566.95]) as compared to non-progressors (306.84 pg/mL [200.37-427.84]) over 1 year (AUC = 0.655, P = 0.015). Conclusion: Serum cartilage biomarkers Coll2-1 and Coll2-1NO2 are associated with several knee OA features quantified with WORMS. Our study also shows that the baseline value of Coll2-1NO2 is positively associated with pain worsening.
Objectives This work studied if and how current clinical practice agrees with European Viscosupplementation Consensus Group (EUROVISCO) recommendations and how this agreement might be different according to physician’s specialization. In addition, this work aimed to identify key decision factors that practitioners consider in their decision to retreat or not a patient with hyaluronic acid viscosupplementation. Methods Practitioners have been invited by e-mail to participate in an online exercise on viscosupplementation retreatment. They received a fictional patient case at random among a set of predefined fictional cases. The platform asked the practitioner if he/she would retreat the patient with viscosupplementation or not. To take a decision, the practitioner could select questions among a list of predefined questions. Among them, some were related to criteria used in the EUROVISCO decision tree and others served as confounding factors. Results A total of 506 practitioners participated to the exercise, of which 399 gave their decision about the case assigned to them by the platform. The observed agreement between practitioner decisions and EUROVISCO recommendations was 58.89 ± 4.95% (95% confidence interval [CI]). Overall, the decision to retreat was taken in 47.87% of the cases, while the EUROVISCO guidelines follow-up would have led to 55.89% retreatment for the same cases ( P = 0.03). Conclusions In current practice, physicians tended to reinject their patients less than recommended, although EUROVISCO guidelines for viscosupplementation retreatment consider decision criteria that clearly correspond to those of practitioners in real life. These include the patients’ willingness to be treated or the patients’ perception of the effectiveness of the treatment.
Background:Coll2-1 is a peptide of 9 amino acid located in the triple helix of type II collagen molecule reflecting cartilage degradation (1). Coll2-1NO2 is the nitrated form of Coll2-1 and considered as a biomarker of the inflammatory-related cartilage degradation (2). This peptide is involved in osteoarthritis physiopathology since it was demonstrated that Coll2-1 induced synovitis in rat.Objectives:To identify if biochemical markers s-Coll2-1 and s-Coll2-1NO2 are associated to knee osteoarthritis (OA), focusing on pain, function as well as structural features assessed by MRI in various knee compartments and to assess their ability at predicting knee OA worsening.Methods:116 subjects with knee OA were followed during one year with pain, function and MRI evaluation (PRODIGE study,NCT02070224). Type II collagen-specific biomarker Coll2-1 and its nitrated form Coll2-1NO2 were directly measured in serum using immunoassays at baseline and after three, six and twelve months follow-up.Results:sColl2-1 and sColl2-1NO2 were associated to several baseline knee features quantified with Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS). S-Coll2-1 was significantly correlated with bursitis (r=0.29, P<0.01), bone attrition (r=0.25, P=0.01), cysts (r=0.24, P=0.02) and cartilage (r=0.23, P=0.03) WORMS sub-scores for the whole joint as well as with the medial femorotibial joint sum score (r=0.26, P=0.01) and medial femorotibial joint cartilage (r=0.23, P=0.02). s-Coll2-1NO2 was correlated with WORMS total score (r=0.23, P=0.02), WORMS scores in the patellofemoral (r=0.23, P=0.02) and medial femorotibial compartments (r=0.21, P=0.03) and with osteophytes scores (r=0.27, P<0.01). Baseline s-Coll2-1NO2 was higher in subjects with a pain worsening (426.4 pg/mL [278.04-566.95]) as compared to non-progressors (306.84 [200.37-427.84]) over one year (AUC=0.655, P=0.015).Conclusion:Cartilage biomarkers s-Coll2-1 and s-Coll2-1NO2 are associated to several knee OA features quantified with WORMS scoring system on MRI. Serum values of Coll2-1NO2 are also associated to a worsening of target knee pain over one year. Coll2-1 and Coll2-1NO2, in association with other structural features, pain and function, could help at identifying OA phenotypes and patients at risk of OA worsening.References:[1]Mobasheri A, Lambert C, Henrotin Y.
