assay. Statistical significance was determined by ANOVA with Duncan's post-hoc comparison. Results: Hypoxia decreased IL-1o~-induced peroxynitrite formation (Fig. 1). SOD inhibited I L-1o~-induced peroxynitrite formation in both 1% 02 and 20% 02 (Fig, 1). In 1% 02, but not in 20% 02, SOD caused significant inhibition of I L-1o~-induced proteoglycan degradation (Fig. 2). IL-1o~decreased both proteoglycan and collagen II synthesis in cartilage explants in 1% 02 and 20% 02, which was not inhibited by SOD. 40

NO reacts with superoxide anion (02-) to form peroxynitrite, which may modulate cartilage degradation. Oxygen tension in arthritic joints may reach below 1% 02, and low oxygen could influence the formation of superoxide anion or peroxynitrite. The aim of this study was to determine whether hypoxia affects interleukin-1-o~-induced peroxynitrite production and articular cartilage matrix metabolism. Methods: Porcine cartilage explants and chondrocytes seeded in alginate were incubated for 72 hours in either 1% 02 or 20% 02 in media supplemented with either 1 ng/mL interleukin-1o~ (IL100, 25 I~M superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic, an antioxidant to scavenge superoxide anion and inhibit peroxynitrite formation, or 1 ng/mL IL-1o~ + 25 I~M SOD mimetic. Peroxynitrite formation was measured by immunoblot with anti-3-nitrotyrosine antibody. Proteoglycan and collagen II synthesis rates were determined by 35S-sulfate and 3H-proline incorporation respectively, and proteoglycan release into the culture media by dimethylmethylene blue

Conclusion: Our findings show that hypoxia modulates IL-1o~ induced peroxynitrite production, which in turn influences I L-1o~induced proteoglycan degradation in the presence of the antioxidant SOD. Oxygen tension may have important implications in the biological actions of superoxide anion, NO, and its derivatives, making these inflammatory mediators potential targets in the pharmacologic treatment of osteoarthritis.
