Anti-inflammatory effects of continuous passive motion on meniscal fibrocartilage. 23, 174184 (2017). 25, 532537 (2017). TNF- has pleiotropic effects, and its role in organ fibrosis remains controversial.285,286 In addition, it may have different effects in different organs.285 The importance of TNF- in established fibrosis remains to be clarified, and further research is required to understand the effectiveness of TNF- antibodies as a therapeutic agent for treating fibrosis. 26, 266274 (2010). Villegas, M. R. et al. 1). Cancer Cell. Mast cells initiate and maintain inflammation.111 They may play an important part in the development of fibrosis125 and appear to be able to maintain a pro-fibrotic response, producing and storing many of the cytokines that promote fibrosis14,111 (see below under Cytokines), including TNF-, IL-17 and TGF-.125,126 Mast cells numbers are increased in fibrotic organs including the lung,127 heart and kidneys. Arthrogryposis is typically discovered in utero or at birth. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a key player in sterile inflammation, and is associated with a range of auto-inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.2 Tissue damage and the accumulation of damaged mitochondria increases mitochondrial ROS production, which, along with other signals activates NLRP3 and stimulates processing of IL-1 pre-cursers into the biologically active form.2,136,137 NLRP3 also regulates ROS production by mitochondria.138 The activation of capase-1 by NLRP3 activates IL-1 and IL-18 precursors,2,137 and also causes the secretion of IL-1 and fibroblast growth factor 22. J. Arthroplast. Ansel, J. C., Brown, J. R., Payan, D. G. & Brown, M. A. Biol. Metformin reduces intrahepatic fibrosis and intrapulmonary shunts in biliary cirrhotic rats. Indeed, under these conditions it is thought that persistent synthesis of substance P, a known pain sensitiser and activator of mast cells and fibroblasts, occurs, and creates a positive feedback loop.14 In support of this, an increased ratio of sensory nerves (expressing substance P) to sympathetic nerves was found in tissue from arthrofibrotic knees.57 Also of note is the fact that chronic low grade inflammation frequently does not have obvious physical signs or markers in the blood,56 but can nonetheless play a role in active arthrofibrosis. In addition, halofuginone inhibits the development of Th17 cells,44 decreasing Th17 cell numbers and inflammatory cytokines via AMP-activated protein kinase-mediated NF-B p65 inactivation.275 Halofuginone has undergone clinical trials to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy and several forms of cancer using an oral encapsulated form to prevent gastric bleeding. 47, 13031309 (1995). Arthrofibrosis is a fibrotic joint disease that causes restricted joint motion and pain due to excessive collagen production and adhesions. We now know that resolution is an active biochemical process mediated by these specialised pro-resolving LMs (SPMs), which act as a stop signal for inflammation and a return to homoeostasis.109 Specific SPMs have distinct anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and pro-resolving effects.183,184 SPMs are derived from essential fatty acids, particularly omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (-3 PUFA) found in fish oils and some plants, and are necessary in the human diet.185 SPMs have synergistic effects on immune function,186 downregulating the production of TNF- and IL-1,184 reducing pain, inhibiting neutrophil migration and protecting against uncontrolled inflammatory responses.185,187, Oral supplements of -3 PUFA result in biologically active levels of SPMs in serum including the important subtypes RVD1 and RVD2,188 and in synovial fluid, where SPM levels were negatively correlated with pain.189 These and other SPMs are able to switch macrophage phenotypes from pro-inflammatory to pro-resolving (ref.183 and references within), and reduce the expression of inflammasomes.184 SPM profiles in patients correlate with outcomes, with a lack of them linked to delayed resolution of inflammation.184.

When you go to the healthcare provider with symptoms of arthrofibrosis, they will generally give you a physical examination and ask about your history of injury or surgery. 208, 417420 (2011).

The lack of well controlled studies makes it difficult to draw conclusions. 13, 242265 (2014). Surgical lysis of fibrotic material is the standard treatment for arthrofibrosis, however, surgery stimulates wound healing processes, including ECM proliferation, and is associated with increased inflammation.58 In addition, immune system memory and/or feedback processes that may be occurring in a patient with active arthrofibrosis may be further stimulated by surgery.

ECM promotes survival of myofibroblasts and the deposition of collagen, and once mature is resistant to degradation.117 This likely explains why some patients that have surgical lysis and removal of ECM recover.

In knees the suprapatellar pouch, anterior interval, intercondylar notch, medial and lateral gutters, posterior capsule and infrapatellar fat pad (IFP or Hoffas fat pad), may all be affected,6 with symptoms varying depending on the location and extent of the ECM and adhesions, but typically involving loss of flexion and/or extension (see above). Am. The development of a minimally invasive diagnostic tool kit that assesses the levels of cytokines, collagen fragments and other mediators of fibrosis in serum and synovial fluid may help to predict which patients are at greatest risk of post-operative arthrofibrosis. Traumatol. PLoS ONE 11, e0168572 (2016). The IFP may become fibrotic and impinge in the joint when the knee is flexed, creating further inflammation and fibrosis, loss of flexion and pain.24 The IFP is a store of immune cells that secrete inflammatory cytokines under stressful conditions25 (see Risk assessment), and can fill with ECM when adipose cells transform into fibrous tissue.26, a Sagittal fast spin echo intermediate-weighted image of a 33-year-old woman with clinical stiffness following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, showing scarring of the synovium around the ACL reconstruction (long arrow) as well as the central portion of the deep infrapatellar fat pad (short arrow) and the lining of the suprapatellar recess (oval). 14, 143 (2014).

ACL tears have been demonstrated to increase the levels of IL-1 and TNF- in synovial fluid, with levels increasing with the degree of damage and with time since injury.82 It has been suggested that higher levels of these cytokines are responsible for the later development of OA.82 TGF- is also upregulated in the IFP at 2 weeks post-ACL reconstruction surgery,58 potentially contributing to the high rates of arthrofibrosis after this type of surgery.

Halofuginone directly inhibits Smad3 signalling by TGF-.15,114 Smad3 upregulates the production of pro-fibrotic proteins and miRNAs,147 and is considered essential in the fibrotic process.144 Halofuginone reduces collagen type I, suppresses myofibroblast proliferation and has been shown to resolve and reverse established fibrosis in animals models.15,273 The reduction in collagen type I synthesis appears to be the result of inhibited gene expression15,274 and only occurs in soft tissues, not in bone.15.
