    Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic inflammatory disease accompanied by joint pain, bone degradation, and synovial inflammation. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β play key roles in chronic inflammation, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)3 is the first enzyme released by chondrocytes and synovial cells that promotes MMPs’ degrading cartilage matrix (including collage II and aggrecan) function. Using an anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) rat model, Lactobacillus plantarum GKD7 has shown anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The present investigation examined the chondroprotective effects of several dosages and formulas of GKD7 on rats in an ACLT-induced OA model. The findings indicate that oral treatment with both live-GKD7 (GKD7-L) and dead-GKD7 (GKD7-D), along with celecoxib (positive control), all reduce post-ACLT pain and inflammation in OA joints. Subsequently, the immunohistochemical staining results demonstrate that following GKD7-L and GKD7-D treatment, there was a reversal of the degradation of collagen II and aggrecan, as well as a decrease in the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α on the synovial tissue and MMP3 on the cartilage. Accordingly, our findings imply that the treatment of both GKD7-L and GKD7-D has chondroprotective and analgesic effects on the OA rat model, and that celecoxib and GKD7-L at dosages (100 mg/kg) have comparable therapeutic benefits. As a result, we propose that both GKD7-L and GKD7-D are helpful supplements for OA management.
