Evidence of reactive oxygen species generation in synovial fluid from patients with temporomandibular disease by electron spin resonance spectroscopy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of temporomandibular disorders. In the present study, we provide the first evidence of ROS generation in the synovial fluid from human temporomandibular disorder patients, as shown by electron spin resonance (ESR) and spin trapping. Three distinct ESR spectra of DMPO spin adducts were observed in the synovial fluid. They corresponded to three free radical species: hydroxyl radical (HO(*)), hydrogen radical (H(*)), and carbon-center radical (R(*)). Among them, the 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO)-OH spectrum was the most prominent, suggesting that HO(*) was dominantly generated in the synovial fluid from temporomandibular disorder patients. Desferrioxamine (DFO), an iron chelator, strongly depressed the DMPO-OH signal intensity in the synovial fluid from patients with temporomandibular disorders. We successfully demonstrated ROS-induced oxidative stress in the synovial fluid from temporomandibular disorder patients. ROS generation in the temporomandibular joint could lead to exacerbation of inflammation and activation of cartilage matrix degrading enzymes that proceed to degenerative change of the temporomandibular joint. Thus, iron-dependent generation of HO( *) might have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of temporomandibular disorders.
