Article Abstract
Background: Spermidine (SPD) is a natural polyamine that shows beneficial effects on osteoarthritis (OA). However, the effect of SPD on cartilage inflammation remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the protective effect of SPD against OA-induced articular cartilage degradation.
Method: SW1353 human chondrocytes were treated with hydrogen peroxide and lipopolysaccharide to induce models of inflammation and oxidative stress, followed by different dose of SPD intervention. Moreover, mice that underwent anterior cruciate ligament transection were bred and treated with SPD. The effects of SPD were observed using a CCK-8 kit, real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunoblotting, and immunofluorescent assays.
Result: SPD significantly increased the expression of antioxidant proteins, chondrogenic genes, and inflammatory factors both in vivo and in vitro. And injury of the mouse cartilage was also reduced by SPD. Moreover, SPD activated the Nrf2/KEAP1 pathway and inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation. BRG1 expression was decreased in osteoarthritic mouse cartilage, whereas SPD treatment caused an upregulation. However, when BRG1 was specifically inhibited by an adeno-associated virus and small interfering RNA, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of SPD were significantly diminished both in vitro and in vivo.
Conclusion: We found that SPD ameliorated cartilage damage in OA by activating the BRG1-mediated Nrf2/KEAP1 pathway. SPD and BRG1 may provide new therapeutic options or targets for the treatment of OA.

Background: This study investigated poor prognostic factors for the relapse of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) after remission induction therapy.
Methods: We enrolled patients diagnosed with MPA complicated by ILD according to the Chapel Hill Consensus definition from 2001 to 2023 in multiple institutions in the REVEAL cohort. All patients who were treated with immunosuppressive therapy were followed up, and those who relapsed with ILD were extracted in this study.

Background: Biomarkers that change in response to nintedanib in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) would be valuable. We investigated the effects of nintedanib on circulating biomarkers in subjects with IPF in the INMARK trial.
Methods: Subjects with IPF were randomised 1:2 to receive nintedanib 150 mg twice daily or placebo for 12 weeks, after which all patients received open-label nintedanib for 40 weeks.
