PLCγ1 deficiency in chondrocytes accelerates the age-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral bone.


ABSTRACT: Ageing is the most prominent risk for osteoarthritis (OA) development. This study aimed to investigate the role of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ) 1, previously linked to OA progression, in regulating age-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral bone. d-galactose (d-Gal) was employed to treat chondrocytes from rats and mice or injected intraperitoneally into C57BL/6 mice. RTCA, qPCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation, matrix synthesis, senescence genes and senescence-associated secretory phenotype, along with PLCγ1 expression. Subchondral bone morphology was assessed through micro-CT. In mice with chondrocyte-specific Plcg1 deficiency (Plcg1flox/flox; Col2a1-CreERT), articular cartilage and subchondral bone were examined over different survival periods. Our results showed that d-Gal induced chondrocyte senescence, expedited articular cartilage ageing and caused subchondral bone abnormalities. In d-Gal-induced chondrocytes, diminished PLCγ1 expression was observed, and its further inhibition by U73122 exacerbated chondrocyte senescence. Plcg1flox/flox; Col2a1-CreERT mice exhibited more pronounced age-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral bone compared to Plcg1flox/flox mice. Therefore, not only does d-Gal induce senescence in chondrocytes and age-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral bone, as well as diminished PLCγ1 expression, but PLCγ1 deficiency in chondrocytes may also accelerate age-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral bone. PLCγ1 may be a promising therapeutic target for mitigating age-related changes in joint tissue.
