Abstract

Background

In this study, we used immune repertoire (IR) sequencing technology to profile the diversity of peripheral blood T cell receptors and used transcriptomics to profile the gene expression of peripheral blood neutrophil mRNA in patients with mild-moderate knee osteoarthritis (KOA) before and after electroacupuncture (EA) treatment.

Methods

An 8-week intervention with EA was performed on 3 subjects with KOA. IR sequencing of complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) was performed using RNA extracted from peripheral blood T cells of KOA subjects prior to and at the end of the intervention, as well as healthy volunteers (controls) who matched the subjects in sex and age. Neutrophils were extracted from the plasma of healthy individuals, pretreatment patients, and posttreatment patients for further transcriptome sequencing.

Results

The D50, diversity index (DI), and Shannon entropy values of circulatory T-cells were significantly lower in pretreatment KOA patients compared to healthy controls. Posttreatment KOA samples displayed significant decreases in serum proinflammatory factors, IL-8 and IL-18 ( < 0.01), as well as a substantial reduction in serum matrix MMP-3 and MMP-13 ( < 0.01, < 0.05). Transcriptome analysis revealed that the expression of CXCL2, IRF8, and PEAR1 ( < 0.05) was significantly higher in patients before the treatment than in the healthy population and was significantly down-regulated after the treatment. In contrast, the expression of SMPD3 ( < 0.05) showed the opposite trend.

Conclusion

EA may alleviate KOA by rebalancing T-cell homeostasis and improving systemic inflammation. At the same time, EA treatment can significantly enhance TCR diversity, reduce levels of proinflammatory factors, and increase levels of anti-inflammatory factors, thereby achieving therapeutic effects.
