Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti‑inflammatory effects of citrulline (Cit), glucosamine (GlcN) and N‑acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) on synovial cells, which are primarily involved in inflammatory joint diseases. The combined effect of Cit, GlcN and GlcNAc on synovial cell inflammation was assessed by measuring IL‑1β‑induced IL‑6 production. GlcN and GlcNAc (0.5 mM each) alone did not suppress IL‑6 production, whereas Cit (0.5 mM) did significantly suppress IL‑6 production. Furthermore, the combined effect of Cit, GlcNAc and GlcN was examined; Cit + GlcN and Cit + GlcNAc significantly suppressed not only IL‑6 production, but also phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Similarly, combination of GlcN + GlcNAc significantly suppressed IL‑6 production and phosphorylation of ERK1/2. These observations suggest that among Cit, GlcNAc and GlcN, the combination of Cit with GlcN or GlcNAc exerts a synergistic anti‑inflammatory effect on synovial cells, thereby possibly exhibiting chondroprotective effects and alleviating inflammatory joint diseases.
