Altman et al. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders (2015) 16:321 DOI 10.1186/s12891-015-0775-zRESEARCH ARTICLEOpen AccessThe mechanism of action for hyaluronic acid treatment in the osteoarthritic knee: a systematic reviewRD Altman1*, A. Manjoo2, A. Fierlinger3, F. Niazi3 and M. NichollsAbstractBackground: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28151467 of the leading causes of disability within the adult population. Current treatment options for OA of the knee include intra-articular (IA) hyaluronic acid (HA), a molecule found intrinsically within the knee joint that provides viscoelastic properties to the synovial fluid. A variety of mechanisms in which HA is thought to combat knee OA are reported in the current basic literature. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search to identify currently available primary non-clinical basic science articles focussing on the mechanism of action of IA-HA treatment. Included articles were assessed and categorized based on the mechanism of action described within them. The key findings and conclusions from each included article were obtained and analyzed in aggregate with studies of the same categorical assignment. Results: Chondroprotection was the most frequent mechanism reported within the included articles, followed by proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, anti-inflammatory, mechanical, subchondral, and analgesic actions. HA-cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) receptor binding was the most frequently reported biological cause of the mechanisms presented. High molecular weight HA was seen to be superior to lower molecular weight HA products. HA derived through a biological fermentation process is also described as having favorable safety outcomes over avian-derived HA products. Conclusions: The non-clinical basic science literature provides evidence for numerous mechanisms in which HA acts on joint PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27864321 structures and function. These actions provide support for the purported clinical benefit of IA-HA in OA of the knee. Future research should not only focus on the pai.
