Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) in chondrocytes contributes to the development of osteoarthritis. The hypothesis of this study was that diet with a low ratio of n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is associated with reduced MMP13 expression in inflammatory chondrocytes in vitro and in vivo. Human chondrocytes were cultured with different ratios of linoleic acid (LA, n-6 PUPA) to alpha-linolenic acid (n-3 PUPA) from 1:1 to 10:1. Proliferation of chondrocytes, MMP13 protein and mRNA levels were detected, respectively. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 30) were fed diets containing different ratios of n-6/n-3 PUPA. Freund's complete adjuvant was injected to make the model of arthritis. Paw swelling rate was measured and all rats were euthanized after 6 weeks of treatment. Serum MMP13 and IL-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Joint histological sections were stained with safranin-O Fast Green to evaluate cartilage damage. Low ratio of LA/alpha-linolenic acid decreased the mRNA and protein levels of MMP13 but did not affect chondrocytes proliferation. Ratios of PUFA such as 1:1 and 2:1 significantly reduced paw swelling rate, and serum MMP13 and IL-1 levels in a rat model. Histological staining showed that ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 PUFA significantly alleviated cartilage damage in adjuvant-induced arthritis. A ratio of n-6/n-3 PUFA of 1:1 showed the strongest inhibitory effect on MMP13. Our results indicate that a low ratio of n-6/n-3 PUFA at 1:1 significantly suppressed MMP13 expression both in vitro and in vivo and reduced adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats could be a means to control and reduce the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
