Project description:The aim of this study was to compare the gene expression pattern of synovial cells from inflammatory (I) or normal/reactive (N/R) areas of a synovial membrane harvested from the same osteoarthritis (OA) patient. This study is the first to identify different expression pattern between two areas of the synovial membrane in the same patient. These differences concern several key pathways involved in OA pathogenesis (inflammation, cartilage metabolism, Wnt signaling and angiogenesis). This analysis also provides interesting information regarding new potent intermediates as potentiel targets for the future therapeutic. Synovial tissues were obtained from 12 knee OA patients at the time of total knee replacement. The inflammatory status of the synovial membrane was characterized according to macroscopic criteria and sorted as N/R and I. Biopsies were cultured separately for 7 days. Microarray gene expression profiling between N/R and I areas was performed.

Project description:We have compared synovial biopsies from ankylosing spondylitis and undifferentiated spondylitis patients with healthy controls and osteoarthritis patients Objective: In spondylarthropies, whole-genome gene expression profiling studies have been limited to peripheral blood to date. By undertaking a study in knee synovial biopsies from spondylarthropy (SpA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients we aimed to identified joint-specific candidate genes and pathways. These pathways may mediate systemic inflammation driven joint damaging processes and more specifically, the osteoproliferation that is characteristic of these conditions. Methods: RNA was extracted from six seronegative SpA, two AS, three osteoarthritis (OA) and four normal control knee synovial biopsies. Whole genome expression profiling was undertaken using the Illumina DASL system, which assays 24000 cDNA probes. Differentially expressed candidate genes were then validated using quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results: 416 differentially expressed genes were identified that clearly delineated between AS/SpA and control groups. Pathway analysis showed altered gene-expression in oxidoreductase activity, osteoblast activity, B-cell associated, matrix catabolic, and metabolic pathways. The inflammatory mediator, MMP3, was strongly upregulated in AS/SpA samples and the Wnt pathway inhibitors DKK3 and Kremen1 were downregulated. Conclusion: Pathways mediating both systemic inflammation as well as local tissue changes were identified. This suggests initial systemic inflammation in spondylarthropies transfers to and persists in the local joint environment, subsequently mediating changes in genes directly involved in the destructive tissue remodelling. Fifteen knee synovial biopsy tissue samples consisting of six seronegative spondyloarthropy (SpA), two ankylosing spondylitis (AS), three osteoarthritis (OA) and four normal control biopsies were obtained from the Synovial Tissue Bank at the Repatriation General Hospital in Adelaide, South Australia with the appropriate ethical approval (Supplementary Table 1). All patients provided informed written consent.

Project description:In osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), many pathological alterations result from aberrant macrophage hyperactivation in the inflamed synovial membrane, and inhibition of macrophage effector functions is a therapeutic strategy in both diseases. Little is known, about the specific genetic circuits that are differentially deregulated in RA and OA macrophages. microRNA (miR) are short single stranded non-coding RNAs involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Altered expression of miRs has been described under various pathological conditions, including rheumatic and other autoimmune diseases. Here we compared the miR expression profile in macrophages isolated from OA and RA patients miR expression in OA and RA macrophages was analyzed using Exiqon miRCURY microarrays. Three biological replicates (patients) were analyzed. Two samples (RA vs OA) were hybridized per microarray.

Project description:Objectives : Joint pain causes a significant morbidity in osteoarthritis (OA). The synovium as an innervated joint structure might contribute to the peripheral pain in OA. Methods : We used a hypothesis-free next generation RNA sequencing to study protein coding and small non-coding transcriptomes in knee synovial tissues of OA patients (n=10) with high and low knee pain (evaluated by visual analogue scale) followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses and integration of mRNAs and small RNAs data sets. Results : We showed that 33 protein-coding genes and 35 small RNAs were differentially expressed in the knee synovium of patients with high compared to low intensity knee pain, with 30 mRNAs and 14 small RNAs being upregulated and 2 mRNAs and 21 small RNAs being downregulated. Top enriched genes, such as SDIM1 and CPE encode neuronal proteins that share molecular properties with neurotrophic factor BDNF and promote neuronal survival under cellular stress, and OTOF participates in calcium-dependent synaptic exocytosis and modulation of GABAergic activity. TrkB was enriched in several gene networks, suggesting its key role in pain-related transcriptional changes in OA joint. Downregulation of PTX3 in high pain group supports an argument that inflammation and pain are independent processes in symptomatic knee OA. MiR-146a-3p and miR150 appeared as the microRNA candidates in the pathogenesis of OA-related knee pain. Conclusions : Here we uncovered the molecular complexity of pain-related transcriptome changes in the synovium of knee joints in osteoarthritis. We identified new molecular candidates in OA pain setting a firm ground for future mechanistic studies and drug discovery in OA.

Project description:Evidences indicate that mechanical loading plays an important role in osteoarthritis (OA) progression, while the specific pathological changes of the synovium under excessive mechanical loading are unclear. Results showed excessive mechanical loading caused pro-inflammatory of synovial macrophages, which has been confirmed to exists in OA. High Rapgef3 expression level was found in RNA sequencing of RAW246.7 subjected to 0.5Hz-20%-cyclic tensile strain. We verified this in the synovium of OA patients and DMM-OA mice. Interestingly, the Rapgef3 content of chondrocytes was very low. Primary chondrocytes treated with Rapgef3 alone did not show metabolic phenotype, but an OA phenotype appeared when treated with Rapgef3-stimulated macrophage culture supernatant. Mechanically, excessive mechanical loading activated p65-NF-κB pathway through Rapgef3, which promoted the inflammatory of macrophage, resulting in severe articular cartilage injury. Intra-articular Rapgef3 knockout reversed synovitis and cartilage degeneration, which might provide a therapeutic target for osteoarthritis.

Project description:Rheumatoid synoviocytes, which consist of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and synovial macrophages (SM), are crucial for the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Particularly, FLS of RA patients (RA-FLS) exhibit invasive characteristics reminiscent of cancer cells, destroying cartilage and bone, although it remains unresolved how RA-FLS exhibit invasive phenotype. RA-FLS and SM originate differently from mesenchymal and myeloid cells, respectively, but share many pathologic functions. However, the molecular signatures and biological networks representing the distinct and shared features of the two cell types are unknown. Presently, we performed global transcriptome profiling of FLS and SM obtained from RA and osteoarthritis patients. By comparing the transcriptomes, we identified distinct molecular signatures and cellular processes defining invasiveness of RA-FLS and pro-inflammatory properties of RA synovial macrophages (RA-SM), respectively. Interestingly, under interleukin1β-stimulated condition, RA-FLS newly acquired pro-inflammatory signature mimicking RA-SM without losing invasive properties. We next reconstructed a network model that delineates the shared, RA-FLS-dominant (invasive), and RA-SM-dominant (inflammatory) processes. From the network model, we selected 13 genes, including POSTN and TWIST1, as novel regulator candidates responsible for FLS invasiveness. Of note, POSTN and TWIST1 expressions were elevated in independent RA-FLS and were further instigated by interleukin1β. In vitro functional assays demonstrated the requirement of POSTN and TWIST1 for migration and invasion of RA-FLS stimulated with interleukin1β. Taken together, our systems approach to rheumatoid synovitis provides a basis for identifying novel regulators responsible for pathological features of RA-FLS and RA-SM, demonstrating how a certain type of cells acquires functional redundancy under chronic inflammatory conditions. To identify molecular signatures of FLS and MLS in RA joints, we isolated FLS from synovial tissues of RA and osteoarthritis (OA) patients, obtained synovial macrophages from synovial fluid of RA patients, and differentiated control macrophages from peripheral blood of healthy subjects. Also, we stimulated FLS with IL1β, and then analyzed gene expression profiles of both IL1β-stimulated RA-FLS and OA-FLS

Project description:The study presents: - an optimized synovium dissociation protocol for single cell RNA-sequencing studies of the human synovium. The protocol enables the isolation of high yield of viable synovial cells from prospectively collected fresh synovial biopsies from patients with inflammatory arthritis with a minimal sample droupout. The protocol is derived from the method for dissociation of cryopreserved synovia published by Donlin and colleagues (Arthritis Res. Ther. 2019). - a reference single-cell atlas of fresh human synovium in inflammatory arthritis, comprising more than 100´000 unsorted synovial scRNA-seq profiles from 27 freshly dissociated synovia of patients with different types of inflammatory arthritis. The synovial cells segregate into ten lymphoid, 14 myeloid and 17 stromal synovial cell populations and subpopulations, including synovial neutrophils, representing broadly representing the cellular heterogeneity and composition of the human synovium in inflammatory arthritis.

Project description:Objective: To quantify gene expression changes in the synovium of osteoarthritis-affected joints in an equine metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) chip model specifically designed to recapitulate early post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Design: Synovial samples were collected arthroscopically from the MCPJ of 11 adult horses before (pre-OA) and after (OA) surgical induction of osteoarthritis and from sham-operated joints. Briefly, in this model, an osteochondral fragment is created in one randomly chosen MCPJ at the proximal dorsomedial aspect of the first phalanx. The fragment is replaced in the fragment bed after creation so that subchondral bone is not exposed to the opposing cartilage surface. The opposite MCPJ is sham-operated. After a two week recover period, the horses are treadmill-exercised for 14 weeks and then the osteochondral fragment is removed (16 weeks after creation). Synovial tissue samples were collected arthroscopically from the MCPJ of eleven adult horses before (pre-OA) and 16 weeks after (OA) experimental induction of OA as well as from the sham-operated joints (sham). After sequencing of synovial RNA, Salmon was used to quasi-map reads to the reference genome and quantify transcript abundances. Differential expression analysis was performed with the limma-treat method using a fold-change cutoff of 1.1. Functional annotation was performed with PANTHER and Reactome at FDR < 0.05. Results: RNA was successfully extracted from 28 samples (6 pre-OA, 11 OA, 11 sham). Sequencing yielded 15.7-29.4 million paired-end reads per sample. “Sham” and “pre-OA” were not different and were grouped. 321 genes were upregulated and 351 genes were downregulated in OA synovium compared to unaffected. Gene ontology (GO) terms related to extracellular matrix (ECM) organization and growth factor binding were overrepresented among differentially expressed genes. There were 20 significantly enriched pathways; these included pathways involved in ECM turnover, O-glycosylation of TSR domain-containing proteins, and growth factor signaling. Conclusions: Most enriched pathways and overrepresented GO terms reflect a state of high metabolic activity and tissue turnover in OA-affected tissue, suggesting efforts at healing and restoring homeostasis. Limitations of this study include a small sample size and capture of a single point post-injury. Differentially expressed genes falling within key pathways may represent potential diagnostic markers or therapeutic targets for PTOA.
