ABSTRACT
Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) commonly develops following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, affecting around 50% of individuals within 10-20 years. Recent studies have highlighted early changes in subchondral bone structure after ACL injury in adolescent or young adult mice, which could contribute to the development of PTOA. However, ACL injuries do not only occur early in life. Middle-aged and older patients also experience ACL injuries and PTOA, but whether the aged subchondral bone also responds rapidly to injury is unknown. This study utilized a noninvasive, single overload mouse injury model to assess subchondral bone microarchitecture, turnover, and material properties in both young adults (5 months) and early old age (22 months) female C57BL/6JN mice at 7 days after injury. Mice underwent either joint injury (i.e., produces ACL tears) or sham injury procedures on both the loaded and contralateral limbs, allowing evaluation of the impacts of injury versus loading. The subchondral bone response to ACL injury is distinct for young adult and aged mice. While 5-month mice show subchondral bone loss and increased bone resorption postinjury, 22-month mice did not show loss of bone structure and had lower bone resorption. Subchondral bone plate modulus increased with age, but not with injury. Both ages of mice showed several bone measures were altered in the contralateral limb, demonstrating the systemic skeletal response to joint injury. These data motivate further investigation to discern how osteochondral tissues differently respond to injury in aging, such that diagnostics and treatments can be refined for these demographics.
