AB  - Osteoarthritis represents a leading cause of disability with limited treatment options. Furthermore, it is frequently accompanied by cardiovascular and cognitive disorders, which can be exacerbated by osteoarthritis or drugs used for its treatment. Here, we examined the behavioral and cardiac effects of the novel antidepressant vortioxetine in an osteoarthritis model, and compared them to duloxetine (an established osteoarthritis treatment). Osteoarthritis was induced in male and female rats with an intraarticular sodium-monoiodoacetate injection. Antidepressants were orally administered for 28 days following induction. During this period the acetone, burrowing and novel-object-recognition tests (NORT) were used to assess the effects of antidepressants on pain hypersensitivity (cold allodynia), animal well-being and cognitive performance, respectively. Following behavioral experiments, heart muscles were collected for assessment of redox status/histology. Antidepressant treatment dose-dependently reduced cold allodynia in rats with osteoarthritis. Duloxetine (but not vortioxetine) depressed burrowing behavior in osteoarthritic rats in a dose-related manner. Osteoarthritis induction reduced cognitive performance in NORT, which was dose-dependently alleviated by vortioxetine (duloxetine improved performance only in female rats). Furthermore, duloxetine (but not vortioxetine) increased oxidative stress parameters in the heart muscles of female (but not male) rats and induced histological changes in cardiomyocytes indicative of oxidative damage. Vortioxetine displayed comparable efficacy to duloxetine in reducing pain hypersensitivity. Furthermore, vortioxetine (unlike duloxetine) dose-dependently improved cognitive performance and had no adverse effect on burrowing behavior (animal surrogate of well-being) and cardiac redox status/histology. Our results indicate that vortioxetine could be a potential osteoarthritis treatment (with better characteristics compared to duloxetine).

AB  - Osteoarthritis is the most common rheumatic degenerative condition, with chronic
joint pain being the major source of disability. Currently, available treatment options for
alleviating pain are often ineffective and/or associated with unfavorable safety profiles (1).
Vortioxetine is a novel multimodal antidepressant, an inhibitor of serotonin reuptake, but
also an agonist, partial agonist, or antagonist of several serotonin (5-HT) receptors subtypes
involved in pain modulation (2). The study aimed to examine the efficacy of vortioxetine
compared to duloxetine, an antidepressant recommended for the treatment of osteoarthritis,
in the rat model of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis was induced by intra-articular injection of
monosodium iodoacetate (MIA; 2 mg/25 μL) in the right knee of male Wistar rats.
Vortioxetine/duloxetine was administered orally for 28 days following MIA injection. The
antinociceptive effect of vortioxetine/duloxetine was assessed using von Frey, acetone, and
weight-bearing test. The influence of treatments on animals’ well-being and motor
performance was examined in the burrowing and rotarod test, respectively. Vortioxetine (2
and 10 mg/kg) and duloxetine (15 and 25 mg/kg) significantly reduced mechanical and cold
allodynia, and improved weight borne on the ipsilateral hind paw in von Frey, acetone, and
weight-bearing test, respectively. Vortioxetine had no significant effect on burrowing
behavior, whereas duloxetine significantly reduced this inherent rodent activity. The rotarod
test did not demonstrate a significant effect of treatment on motor performance/sedation.
This study suggests comparable antinociceptive efficacy of vortioxetine with duloxetine, a
referent drug, as well as a better impact on the animals’ well-being of vortioxetine.
AB  - Osteoartritis predstavlja najčešće reumatsko degenerativno oboljenje, praćeno
hroničnim bolom, glavnim uzrokom onesposobljenosti pacijenata. Postojeće terapijske opcije
za otklanjanje bola su neretko nedovoljno efikasne i/ili udružene sa brojnim neželjenim
efektima (1). Vortioksetin je noviji antidepresiv multimodalnog mehanizma dejstva; inhibira

ovog rada je bio ispitati efikasnost vortioksetina u poređenju sa duloksetinom,
antidepresivom preporučenim za lečenje osteoartritisa, u modelu osteoartritisa kod pacova.
Osteoartritis je indukovan intraartikularnom injekcijom natrijum-monojodacetata (MIA; 2
mg/25 μL) u desno koleno mužjaka pacova Wistar soja. Vortioksetin/duloksetin je
primenjivan oralno svakodnevno tokom 28 dana nakon injekcije MIA. Procena
antinociceptivne efikasnosti vortioksetina/duloksetina ispitivana je korišćenjem von Frey,
aceton testa i testa raspodele težine (eng. weight‐bearing). Uticaj tretmana na dobrobit
životinja (eng. well‐being), kao i motornu spretnost ispitivan je u testu kopanja i rotarod
testu, redom. Vortioksetin (2 i 10 mg/kg) i duloksetin (15 i 25 mg/kg) su značajno smanjili
mehaničku i hladnu alodiniju, i poboljšali oslanjanje životinja na ipsilateralnu šapu u von
Frey, aceton i testu raspodele težine, redom. Vortioksetin nije imao značajan uticaj na
aktivnost životinja u testu kopanja, dok je duloksetin značajno smanjio ovu inherentnu
aktivnost glodara. U rotarod testu nije pokazan značajan uticaj tretmana na motorne
performanse/sedaciju životinja. Ova studija je pokazala da su antinociceptivni efekti
vortioksetina i referentnog leka duloksetina uporedivi, kao i povoljniji uticaj vortioksetina
na opštu dobrobit životinja.

AB  - Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common rheumatic disease, affecting over 300 million
people worldwide. It causes chronic pain, disability and is commonly associated with
comorbid diseases (CMD) that cause worse health outcomes, more complex management,
and increased healthcare costs. Current treatments (typical/atypical analgesics) have limited
efficacy and/or tolerability and usually do not affect or can even worse CMD. In era of longer
life expectancy, extended professional life and reduced pension funds in Serbia and Europe,
there is a compelling need for maintaining functionality and working capability of older
population. Our aim is to search for novel treatments that could concomitantly treat chronic
pain and its major CMD: depression, cognitive impairment and/or cardiovascular disease
(CVD). It was planned to test the effects of vortioxetine, a novel antidepressant with
multimodal mechanism of action, on pain, depressive and cognitive-impairment behaviour
and CV status in rat model of knee OA. Its effects will be compared to the effects of
duloxetine, the only antidepressant used for pain relief in OA. Next, we will test the effects of
2-component combinations of vortioxetine/duloxetine with adjuvant treatments (regular
exercise/metformin/nicotinamide), that showed the potential to alleviate pain, depression,
reduced cognition and/or CVD in preclinical/clinical research. If proved effective and well
tolerated, new treatment(s) could be implemented in clinical practice much faster and with
significantly less investment, than those required to develop brand new drug, as they consist
of drugs already approved for human use and safe, widely available and inexpensive non-
pharmacologic measures.
AB  - Osteoartritis (OA) je najčešć a reumatska bolest, koja pogađa preko 300 miliona ljudi
širom sveta. Prouzrokuje hronični bol, invaliditet i obično je povezan sa komorbiditetima koji
dovode do lošijih zdravstvenih ishoda, složenijeg lečenja i povećanja troškova zdravstvene
zaštite. Trenutno dostupne terapijske opcije (tipični/atipični analgetici) imaju ograničenu
efikasnost i/ili lošu podnošljivost, i obično ne utiču ili čak mogu pogoršati komorbiditete. U
vremenu kada su ljudski i radni vek produženi, a penzioni fondovi u Srbiji i Evropi smanjeni,
postoji velika potreba za održavanjem funkcionalnosti i radne sposobnosti starije populacije.
Naš cilj je da pronađemo nove terapijske opcije koje bi istovremeno mogle da leče hronični
bol i njegove glavne komorbiditete: depresiju, kognitivno oštećenje i/ili kardiovaskularne
bolesti (KVB). Planirano je ispitivanje efekata vortioksetina, novog antidepresiva sa
multimodalnim mehanizmom delovanja, na bol, depresivno ponašanje, kognitivno ošteć enje i
kardiovaskularni status pacova u modelu OA kolena. Efekti vortioksetina biće poređeni sa
efektima duloksetina, jedinog antidepresiva koji se koristi za ublažavanje bola kod OA. Zatim
će biti ispitani efekti dvokomponentnih kombinacija vortioksetina/duloksetina sa
adjuvantnim tretmanima (redovna fizička aktivnost/metformin/nikotinamid), koji su
pokazali efikasnost u ublažavanju bola, depresije, narušene kognicije i/ili KVB u
pretkliničkim/kliničkim istraživanjima. Ukoliko se pokaže da su efikasne i da se dobro
tolerišu, nove terapijske opcije bi se mogle implementirati u kliničku praksu mnogo brže i sa
znatno manje finansijskih ulaganja u poređenju sa vremenom i ulaganjima koja su potrebna
za razvoj novog leka, jer se sastoje od lekova koji su već odobreni za ljudsku upotrebu i
bezbednih, široko dostupnih i ekonomski povoljnih nefarmakoloških mera.

efektima duloksetina, jedinog antidepresiva koji se koristi za ublažavanje bola kod OA. Zatim
će biti ispitani efekti dvokomponentnih kombinacija vortioksetina/duloksetina sa
adjuvantnim tretmanima (redovna fizička aktivnost/metformin/nikotinamid), koji su
pokazali efikasnost u ublažavanju bola, depresije, narušene kognicije i/ili KVB u
pretkliničkim/kliničkim istraživanjima. Ukoliko se pokaže da su efikasne i da se dobro
tolerišu, nove terapijske opcije bi se mogle implementirati u kliničku praksu mnogo brže i sa
znatno manje finansijskih ulaganja u poređenju sa vremenom i ulaganjima koja su potrebna
za razvoj novog leka, jer se sastoje od lekova koji su već odobreni za ljudsku upotrebu i
bezbednih, široko dostupnih i ekonomski povoljnih nefarmakoloških mera.",
