| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To date, no drugs to delay progression of osteoarthritis have been developed. The current study examined whether SIR1 can prevent progression of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis model was surgically created in mice and SRT1720 was administered systemically for 4-16 weeks. Osteoarthritis progression was examined by histology. Osteoarthritis progression was delayed at 8 and 12 weeks after surgery. Decreased cartilage degrading enzymes, chondrocyte death and synovitis were associated with the delayed osteoarthritis progression in the mice treated with SRT1720. Our observations suggested a potential treatment of osteoarthritis by SIRT1 activators.
