Expression data of osteoarthritic and healthy human labrum cells

ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritic cartilage has largely been investigated, however supporting structures as the acetabular labrum are less investigated. In this studies we aimed to identify differences in gene expression between healthy and osteoarthritic labrum cells we used the microarray as a discovery tool to identify possible new targets in hip osteoarthritis pathology We isolated labrum cells by enzymatic digestion of the acetabular labrum and cultures the cells in for 7 days in a 3D alginate culture systems which gives rise to a stable phenotype.

<h4>Objective</h4>Articular cartilage is well studied in osteoarthritis (OA). However, the role of supporting structures, such as the acetabular labrum, a sealing structure surrounding the hip joint, has been investigated much less. We recently showed that fibrochondrocytic labrum cells are metabolically active. This study was undertaken to investigate hip OA–associated changes in human acetabular labrum cells.<h4>Methods</h4>Microarray analysis was performed to compare OA labrum cells to health ...[more]

Project description:Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that ranks among the leading causes of pain, adult disability, shortening of working life, and socioeconomic costs worldwide. The mechanisms underlying osteoarthritis pathogenesis are yet to be fully elucidated, thus limiting current disease management and treatment. Galectin-1 is an endogenous carbohydrate-binding protein central to adhesion via glycan-bridging, glycoconjugate-mediated signaling, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cancers, and host-pathogen interactions. The chondrocyte glycophenotype, which can act as a system of counter-receptors for galectin binding, is compromised in osteoarthritis. We here investigated Galectin-1 and associated gene network's role in human osteoarthritis pathogenesis. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that Galectin-1 associates with osteoarthritic cartilage and subchondral bone histopathology and severity (p<0.0001, n=29 patients). Glycan-dependent Galectin-1 binding to osteoarthritic chondrocytes' cell surface led to marked upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases and activation of NF-ÎºB. Biochemical, molecular and genome-wide analyses showed that Galectin-1 strongly activates a large inflammatory gene network (p<10-16). Bioinformatic analyses of gene promoters up-regulated by Galectin-1 unveiled an overwhelming NF-ÎºB signaling signature. Inhibition of any of several components of the NF-ÎºB pathway using dedicated inhibitors led to dose-dependent impairment of Galectin-1-mediated transcriptional activation. This study identifies for the first time Galectin-1 as an activator of clinically relevant inflammatory-response genes co-regulated by NF-ÎºB. Since inflammation is critical to cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis, this report is also first to put glycobiology at the center-stage of osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration. Finally, this is the first report to uncover a Galectin-1 gene signature and associated gene network in any biological setting or species. For microarray experiments, osteoarthritic chondrocytes were isolated from five male patients (47-78 years). Following starvation, cells were incubated in the presence of 50 Âµg/ml recombinant Galectin-1 for 24 h. For each donor population, untreated cells were included as control. In total, 10 samples were analyzed.
