In this study we investigated the role and mechanism of cardamonin on IL-1β induced injury in OA. CHON-001 cells were treated with cardamonin and IL-1β and transfected with silencing nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (siNrf2). Cell viability was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometer assay was utilized for cell apoptosis assessment. IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and Nrf2 mRNA expression was tested by qRT-PCR. Western blot was employed to evaluate MMP-3, MMP-13, Collagen II, Nrf2, NQO-1, NLRP3, Caspase 1 and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-1 recruitment domain (ASC) protein levels. In CHON-001 cells, IL-1β suppressed cell viability and Collagen II level while promoting cell apoptosis and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α), MMPs (MMP-3, MMP-13), NQO-1, and NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3, Caspase 1 and ASC), with no significant influence on Nrf2. Cardamonin reversed the effect of IL-1β on cell viability, cell apoptosis, pro-inflammatory cytokines, MMPs, Collagen II, and NLRP3 inflammasome levels. In addition, cardamonin advanced Nrf2 and NQO-1 expression of CHON-001 cells. SiNrf2 reversed the function of cardamonin on IL-1β-induced cell apoptosis and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, Nrf2, NQO-1, and NLRP3 inflammasome in chondrocytes. Taken together Cardamonin inhibited IL-1β induced injury by inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome via activating Nrf2/NQO1 signaling pathway in chondrocyte.
