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-κB. 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-κB signaling signature. Inhibition of any of several components of the NF-κB 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-κB. 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 µg/ml recombinant Galectin-1 for 24 h. For each donor population, untreated cells were included as control. In total, 10 samples were analyzed.

Project description:Articular cartilage is deprived of blood vessels and nerves, and the only cells residing in this tissue are chondrocytes. The molecular properties of the articular cartilage and the architecture of the extracellular matrix demonstrate a complex structure that differentiates on the depth of tissue. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, affecting the whole joint. It is associated with ageing and affects the joints that have been continually stressed throughout life including the knees, hips, fingers, and lower spine region. OA is a multifactorial condition of joint characterised by articular cartilage loss, subchondral bone sclerosis, and inflammation leading to progressive joint degradation, structural alterations, loss of mobility and pain. Articular cartilage biology is well studied with a focus on musculoskeletal diseases and cartilage development. However, there are relatively few studies focusing on zonal changes in the cartilage during osteoarthritis.

Project description:Osteoarthritis is characterized by degeneration of cartilage and bone in the synovial joints. Recent findings suggest that inflammation may play a role in osteoarthritis, with synovitis being associated with the clinical symptoms of osteoarthritis. Furthermore, we have found that levels of inflammatory complement components are abnormally high in the synovial fluid of individuals with osteoarthritis. To determine whether synovial membranes could be a source of complement and other inflammatory molecules in osteoarthritic joints, we characterized the expression of genes in synovial membranes from patients with early-stage or end-stage osteoarthritis. Samples of synovial membrane were obtained from the suprapatellar pouch of patients with osteoarthritis who were treated at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Specifically, samples were from 10 patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis who were undergoing arthroscopic procedures for degenerative meniscal tears (with documented cartilage degeneration but no full-thickness cartilage loss, Kellgren Lawrence score </=2), and from 9 patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis ( diffuse full thickness cartilage erosion) who were undergoing total knee joint replacement. Raw data from microarray analysis of healthy synovial membranes, which were run on the same platform and array as our osteoarthritic samples, were downloaded from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (accession number GSE12021) and used for comparison. The 19 new Samples of this Series were analyzed (RMA) together with 7 previously submitted healthy individual Samples (GSM175810, GSM175812, GSM176290, GSM176291, GSM176292, GSM176268, GSM176269). The complete RMA data are provided as a supplementary file on the Series record. The GSE12021 reanalyzed data are also provided as a supplementary file on the Series record.

Project description:Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF) has recently been identified as a factor that is significantly upregulated in late-stage osteoarthritic cartilage in which chondrocytes are confronted with terminal differentiation and cell death. Since PEDF is known to induce cell death of endothelial cells, it may also be responsible for terminal differentiation and cell death in cartilage. Using cDNA microarray analysis, we found PEDF among the factors with the strongest differential expression and significant higher levels (118.5-fold) in osteophytic cartilage compared with articular cartilage. This study explored if PEDF interferes with the stable chondrocyte phenotype by promoting terminal differentiation or cell death.

Project description:Cartilage plays a fundamental role in the development of the human skeleton. Early in embryogenesis, mesenchymal cells condense and differentiate to chondrocytes to shape the early skeleton. Subsequently, the cartilage anlagen differentiate to form the growth plates, which are responsible for linear bone growth, and the articular chondrocytes, which facilitate joint function. However, despite the multiplicity of roles of cartilage during human fetal life, surprisingly little is known about its transcriptome. To address this, a whole genome microarray expression profile was generated using RNA isolated from 18-22 week human distal femur fetal cartilage and compared with a database of control normal human tissues aggregated at UCLA, termed CELSIUS. From the wealth of data, 161 cartilage-selective genes were identified, defined as genes significantly expressed in cartilage with low expression and little variation across a panel of 34 non-cartilage tissues. Among these 161 genes were cartilage-specific genes such as collagen genes and 25 genes which have been associated with skeletal phenotypes in humans and/or mice. Many of the other cartilage-selective genes do not have established roles in cartilage or are novel, unannotated genes. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed the unique pattern of gene expression observed by microarray analysis. Defining the gene expression pattern for cartilage has identified new genes that may contribute to human skeletogenesis as well as provided further candidate genes for skeletal dysplasias. The data suggest that fetal cartilage is a complex and transcriptionally active tissue and demonstrate that the set of genes selectively expressed in the tissue has been greatly underestimated. Experiment Overall Design: RNA from 7 normal fetal cartilage samples was isolated. 5 samples were run in duplicate on U133 2.0 arrays, while 2 were run on U133A and U133B subsets. In brief, cartilage selective genes were identified by comparing 5 normal cartilage samples (GSM149638,GSM149639 ,GSM149640,GSM149641 ,GSM149642) to normal tissue expression profiles found on CELCIUS at UCLA. Genes which were found expressed at significantly higher levels were validated for their elevated and specific expression using the three platforms. The 9 validation arrays are: 5 U133 2.0 (GSM149643 ,GSM149644 ,GSM149645 ,GSM149646,GSM149647), 2 U133A (GSM149651, GSM149652), 2 U133B (GSM149653, GSM149654)

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease of the joint characterized by a progressive degradation of articular cartilage and subchondral bone. In healthy tissue, specialized cells called chondrocytes are regulating a balanced cartilage catabolism and anabolism. By contrast osteoarthritic joints are characterized by a dramatic increase of cartilage catabolism, due to changes of gene expression patterns within chondrocytes. To identify potential epigenetic differences regulating this process a genome-wide methylation screening of paired unaffected and osteoarthritic knee cartilage samples was performed. Therefore samples of macroscopic arthritic and non-arthritic cartilage areas of the femoral condyle of five female patients were collected and DNA isolation was performed. For being able to investigate methylation changes on a genome-wide scale using only limited amounts of DNA a specific amplification protocol for mainly methylated DNA has been established, based on combinations of different methylation-sensitive and M-bM-^@M-^Sindependent restriction digestions. The amplified DNA was then labeled and hybridized onto Agilent M-bM-^@M-^\Human Promoter Whole GenomeM-bM-^@M-^] microarrays. A random variance t-test for paired (per patient) samples was performed, identifying 1214 differentially methylated genetic targets between arthritic and non-arthritic samples. The biological relevance of these genes was then further investigated via Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis. DNA isolated of paired arthritic and non-arthritic knee cartilage samples of five different female osteoarthritis patients (10 samples) was methylation-specifically amplified using combinations of methylation-sensitive and -insensitive restriction enzymes. Amplicons were dye labeled (Cy3) and hybridized onto 2x244k Agilent Human Promoter microarrays.
