Context Matters: Distinct Disease Outcomes as a Result of Crebbp Hemizygosity in Different Mouse Bone Marrow Compartments.

ABSTRACT: Perturbations in CREB binding protein (CREBBP) are associated with hematopoietic malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Mice hemizygous for Crebbp develop myelodysplasia with proliferative features, reminiscent of human MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm-unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-U), and a proportion goes on to develop acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We have also shown that the Crebbp+/- non-hematopoietic bone marrow microenvironment induces excessive myeloproliferation of wild-type cells. We now report that transplantation of unfractionated Crebbp+/- bone marrow into wild-type recipients resulted in either early-onset AML or late-onset MDS and MDS/MPN-U. In contrast, purified Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit++ cells primarily gave rise to MDS with occasional transformation to AML. Furthermore, Crebbp+/- common myeloid progenitors and granulocyte/macrophage progenitors could trigger skewed myelopoiesis, myelodysplasia and late-onset AML. Surprisingly, the phenotypically abnormal cells were all of wild-type origin. MDS, MPN and AML can thus all be transferred from Crebbp+/- BM to wild-type hosts but fractionated bone marrow does not recapitulate the full disease spectrum of whole bone marrow, indicating that not only mutational status but also cellular context contribute to disease outcome. This has important consequences for structuring and interpreting future investigations into the underlying mechanisms of myeloid malignancies as well as for their treatment.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Osteoclasts have been strongly implicated in osteoarthritic cartilage degradation, at least indirectly via bone resorption, and have been shown to degrade cartilage in vitro. The osteoclast resorption processes required to degrade subchondral bone and cartilage-the remodeling of which is important in the osteoarthritic disease process-have not been previously described, although cathepsin K has been indicated to participate. In this study we profile osteoclast-mediated degradation of bovine knee joint compartments in a novel in vitro model using biomarkers of extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation to assess the potential of osteoclast-derived resorption processes to degrade different knee joint compartments. METHODS:Mature human osteoclasts were cultured on ECMs isolated from bovine knees-articular cartilage, cortical bone, and osteochondral junction ECM (a subchondral bone-calcified cartilage mixture)-in the presence of inhibitors: the cystein protease inhibitor E-64, the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor GM6001, or the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) inhibitor diphyllin. Biomarkers of bone (calcium and C-terminal type I collagen (CTX-I)) and cartilage (C2M) degradation were measured in the culture supernatants. Cultures without osteoclasts were used as background samples. Background-subtracted biomarker levels were normalized to the vehicle condition and were analyzed using analysis of variance with Tukey or Dunnett's T3 post hoc test, as applicable. RESULTS:Osteochondral CTX-I release was inhibited by E-64 (19% of vehicle, p = 0.0008), GM6001 (51% of vehicle, p = 0.013), and E-64/GM6001 combined (4% of vehicle, p = 0.0007)-similarly to bone CTX-I release. Diphyllin also inhibited osteochondral CTX-I release (48% of vehicle, p = 0.014), albeit less than on bone (4% of vehicle, p <?0.0001). Osteochondral C2M release was only inhibited by E-64 (49% of vehicle, p = 0.07) and GM6001 (14% of vehicle, p = 0.006), with complete abrogation when combined (0% of vehicle, p = 0.004). Cartilage C2M release was non-significantly inhibited by E-64 (69% of vehicle, p = 0.98) and was completely abrogated by GM6001 (0% of vehicle, p = 0.16). CONCLUSIONS:Our study supports that osteoclasts can resorb non-calcified and calcified cartilage independently of acidification. We demonstrated both MMP-mediated and cysteine protease-mediated resorption of calcified cartilage. Osteoclast functionality was highly dependent on the resorbed substrate, as different ECMs required different osteoclast processes for degradation. Our novel culture system has potential to facilitate drug and biomarker development aimed at rheumatic diseases, e.g. osteoarthritis, where pathological osteoclast processes in specific joint compartments may contribute to the disease process.

Project description:Kidney fibrosis is a common manifestation and hallmark of a wide variety of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that appears in different morphological patterns, suggesting distinct pathogenic causes. Broad macroscopically visible scars are the sequelae of severe focal injury and complete parenchymal destruction, reflecting a wound healing response as a consequence of infarction. In the kidney, chronic glomerular injury leads to atrophy of the corresponding tubule, degeneration of this specific nephron, and finally interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA). Compared to this glomerulus-induced focal replacement scar, diffuse fibrosis independent of tubular atrophy appears to be a different pathogenic process. Kidney fibrosis appears to develop in a compartment-specific manner, but whether focal and diffuse fibrosis has distinct characteristics associated with other glomerular or tubulointerstitial lesions remains elusive. In the present study, we aimed to analyze renal fibrotic patterns related to renal lesions, which directly contribute to renal fibrogenesis, to unravel fibrotic patterns and manifestations upon damage to distinct renal compartments. Patterns of kidney fibrosis were analyzed in experimental models of CKD and various renal pathologies in correlation with histopathological and ultrastructural findings. After the induction of isolated crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN) in nephrotoxic serum-nephritis (NTN), chronic glomerular damage resulted in predominantly focal fibrosis adjacent to atrophic tubules. By contrast, using unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) as a model of primary injury to the tubulointerstitial compartment revealed diffuse fibrosis as the predominant pattern of chronic lesions. Finally, folic acid-induced nephropathy (FAN) as a model of primary tubular injury with consecutive tubular atrophy independent of chronic glomerular damage equally induced predominant focal IF/TA. By analyzing several renal pathologies, our data also suggest that focal and diffuse fibrosis appear to contribute as chronic lesions in the majority of human renal disease, mainly being present in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated GN, lupus nephritis, and IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Focal IF/TA correlated with glomerular damage and irreversible injury to nephrons, whereas diffuse fibrosis in ANCA GN was associated explicitly with interstitial inflammation independent of glomerular damage and nephron loss. Ultrastructural analysis of focal IF/TA versus diffuse fibrosis revealed distinct matrix compositions, further supported by different collagen signatures in transcriptome datasets. With regard to long-term renal outcome, only the extent of focal IF/TA correlated with the development of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in ANCA GN. In contrast, diffuse kidney fibrosis did not associate with the long-term renal outcome. In conclusion, we here provide evidence that a focal pattern of kidney fibrosis seems to be associated with nephron loss and replacement scarring. In contrast, a diffuse pattern of kidney fibrosis appears to result from primary interstitial inflammation and injury.
