Acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is a member of the extracellular H+-activated cation channel family. Emerging evidence has suggested that ASIC1a plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Specifically, ASIC1a could promote inflammation, synovial hyperplasia, articular cartilage, and bone destruction; these lead to the progression of RA, a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic synovial inflammation and extra-articular lesions. In this review, we provided a brief overview of the molecular properties of ASIC1a, including the basic biological characteristics, tissue and cell distribution, channel blocker, and factors influencing the expression and function, and focused on the potential therapeutic targets of ASIC1a in RA and possible mechanisms of blocking ASIC1a to improve RA symptoms, such as regulation of apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and necroptosis of articular cartilage, and synovial inflammation and invasion of fibroblast-like cells in synovial tissue.

All cells have a membrane potential; this voltage difference arises from the different intracellular and extracellular ion concentrations. In excitable tissue the cell membranes contain ion channels which control the movement of ions and hence control the cell’s membrane potential. Extensive measurements of the electrophysiology of excitable cells has allowed considerable understanding of the ion channels. The Hodgkin-Huxley model [1] was developed from measurements on a squid nerve axon, and it quantifies the changes in membrane conductance due to the opening and closing of specific ion channels. This model has been very successful in describing the electrical behaviour of neurons. Ion channels also exist in non-excitable tissue cells. Patch clamp experiments have demonstrated that ion channels in chondrocytes influence cell’s membrane potential [2]; controls the influx of Ca2+ [3] and may regulate cell proliferation [2]. The objective of this research was to develop a model of ion channel behaviour for connective tissue cells based on the Hodgkin-Huxley model, and to apply this model to reported patch clamp measurements of articular chondrocytes.

Dynamic mechanical loading can enhance the formation of engineered cartilage, potentially through secondary biophysical effects such as changes in interstitial osmolarity. This study examined the effects of daily osmotic loading, as well as direct activation of the osmosensitive ion channel TRPV4, on the biochemical and functional properties of chondrocyte-laden cartilage constructs. Osmotic loading, as well as exposure to the TRPV4-specific agonist GSK1016790A, enhanced extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, and TRPV4 activation enhanced the functional properties of the constructs. This study implicates the Ca ++-permeable TRPV4 ion channel in the metabolic response of articular chondrocytes to osmotic and mechanical loading. Furthermore, these results suggest that targeting TRPV4, either directly with channel agonists, or indirectly via osmotic loading, may provide a novel strategy for enhancing tissue engineered cartilage construct maturation.
