Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of wogonin on activating chondrocyte autophagy by regulating the PTEN induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin signaling pathway, and elucidate its intervention effect on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) cartilage injury under mechanical stress. Methods A mouse KOA model was established through the destruction of medial meniscus surgery, and randomly divided into sham group, model group, wogonin (40, 80 mg/kg) group, and wogonin (80 mg/kg) + Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 (5 mg/kg) group. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and safranin O-green staining were used to evaluate the morphological changes of cartilage tissue; ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum; Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of collagen II, matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13), Piezo1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-I/II (LC3-I/II), p62, Beclin-1, PINK1 and Parkin in cartilage tissue. A stress injury cell model was established by treating mouse chondrocytes with stress loading. Control group, model group, wogonin (25, 50, 100 μmol/L) group, and wogonin (100 μmol/L) + Yoda1 (2.5 μmol/L) group were set up. CCK-8 method was used to detect cell viability; DHE and TUNEL staining were used to detect levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell apoptosis; ELISA was used to detect the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α; Immunostaining was used to detect Piezo1 expression; Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of collagen II, MMP13, Piezo1, LC3-I/II, p62, Beclin-1, PINK1 and Parkin; Mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results Compared with sham group, mice in model group showed severe cartilage damage, with significantly reduced protein and mRNA expressions of collagen II, LC3-II/I, Beclin-1, PINK1 and Parkin in cartilage tissue (P < 0.01), and significantly increased protein and mRNA expressions of MMP13, p62 and Piezo1 (P < 0.01); Compared with model group, the cartilage morphology of wogonin in each dose group was significantly improved, the protein and mRNA expressions of collagen II, LC3-II/I, Beclin-1, PINK1 and Parkin in cartilage tissue were significantly increased (P < 0.01), while the protein and mRNA expressions of MMP13, p62 and Piezo1 were significantly decreased (P < 0.01); Compared with wogonin high-dose group, wogonin + Yoda1 group showed significantly reduced protein and mRNA expressions of collagen II, LC3-II/I, Beclin-1, PINK1 and Parkin in cartilage tissue (P < 0.05, 0.01), while significantly increased protein and mRNA expressions of MMP13, p62, and Piezo1 (P < 0.01). The cell experiment results showed that compared with control group, the cell viability of model group was significantly reduced (P < 0.01), the levels of ROS, apoptosis, IL-1β, TNF-α, MMP13, p62, Piezo1 protein and mRNA expressions were significantly increased (P < 0.01), the protein and mRNA expressions of collagen II, LC3-II/I, Beclin-1, PINK1 and Parkin were significantly reduced (P < 0.01); Compared with model group, wogonin increased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.01), promoted autophagy, and up-regulated the protein and mRNA expression levels of collagen II, LC3-II/I, Beclin-1, PINK1 and Parkin (P < 0.01); Compared with wogonin group, wogonin + Yoda1 group showed a significant decrease in cartilage damage and autophagy related indicators (P < 0.01). Conclusion Wogonin exerts a protective effect on KOA cartilage injury under mechanical stress intervention by regulating PINK1/Parkin pathway, activating cellular autophagy program and reducing mitochondrial damage.
