Secreted frizzled-related protein 3 was genetically and functionally associated with developmental dysplasia of the hip.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common joint disease in child orthopedics. Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 3 (FRZB) plays an important role in joint development. however, no direct association between FRZB and DDH has been demonstrated.

Methods

Analysis of genotype distribution and allele frequency for detected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of FRZB was performed. FRZB expression was assayed in DDH joint tissues. Further experiments to identify the chondrogenic properties of FRZB were conducted. Potential upstream miRNAs for FRZB were assayed in DDH.

Results

Significant difference in genotype distribution for rs3768842 (OR=1.46, P=0.0081) and rs2242040 (OR=0.65, P=0.0067) was found. DDH joint tissues showed significantly higher FRZB expression. FRZB demonstrated chondrogenic and anti-hypertrophic properties in vitro. FRZB modulated cell adhesion pathway and cell spreading by regulating integrins expressions. Upstream miRNAs regulating FRZB expression were identified in DDH synovial fluid. Experiments indicated that downregulated miRNA-454 caused FRZB upregulation in DDH joint.

Conclusion

Dysregulated FRZB and its loci were associated with DDH. As a Wnt antagonist with chondrogenic properties, FRZB modulated cell adhesion pathway and cell spreading by regulating integrins expressions. FRZB in multiple DDH joint tissues might be mediated by the dysregulated miRNA expression profiles in the joint synovial fluid.

Functional variants within the secreted frizzled-related protein 3 gene are associated with hip osteoarthritis in females.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability in Western society with multiple risk factors, including a complex genetic pattern. Identifying loci involved in the heredity of OA might lead to insights into the molecular pathogenesis of this common disorder. A previous genome scan mapped a primary hip OA susceptibility locus to chromosome 2q with a maximum multipoint logarithm of odds score of 1.6 in 378 affected sibling pair families. Here, microsatellite targeting of eight candidate genes in this region from 2q23-2q32 demonstrated significant associations with the tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 6 gene in all probands and the integrin alpha 6 and frizzled motif associated with bone development (FRZB) genes in female probands. However, genotyping showed lack of association for a nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism in tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 6, whereas a single-nucleotide polymorphism in FRZB resulting in an Arg324Gly substitution at the carboxyl terminus was associated with hip OA in the female probands (P = 0.04). This association was confirmed in an independent cohort of female hip cases (n = 338; P = 0.04). In addition, a haplotype coding for substitutions of two highly conserved arginine residues (Arg200Trp and Arg324Gly) in FRZB was a strong risk factor for primary hip OA, with an odds ratio of 4.1 (P = 0.004). FRZB encodes secreted frizzled-related protein 3, which is a soluble antagonist of wingless (wnt) signaling. Variant secreted frizzled-related protein 3 with the Arg324Gly substitution had diminished ability to antagonize wnt signaling in vitro. Hence, functional polymorphisms within FRZB confer susceptibility for hip OA in females and implicate the wnt signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of this disease.

Secreted frizzled-related protein 4: an angiogenesis inhibitor.

Project description:Wnt signaling is involved in developmental processes, cell proliferation, and cell migration. Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (sFRP4) has been demonstrated to be a Wnt antagonist; however, its effects on endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis have not yet been reported. Using various in vitro assays, we show that sFRP4 inhibits endothelial cell migration and the development of sprouts and pseudopodia as well as disrupts the stability of endothelial rings in addition to inhibiting proliferation. sFRP4 interfered with endothelial cell functions by antagonizing the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway and the Wnt/planar cell polarity pathway. Furthermore, sFRP4 blocked the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor on endothelial cells. sFRP4 also selectively induced apoptotic events in endothelial cells by increasing cellular levels of reactive oxygen species. In vivo assays demonstrated a reduction in vascularity after sFRP4 treatment. Most importantly, sFRP4 restricted tumor growth in mice by interfering with endothelial cell function. The data demonstrate sFRP4 to be a potent angiogenesis inhibitor that warrants further investigation as a therapeutic agent in the control of angiogenesis-associated pathology.

Genetic variant of WIF1 gene is functionally associated with developmental dysplasia of the hip in Han Chinese population.

Project description:Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common skeletal disorder. Studies have demonstrated a significant role of WIF1 gene in skeletal development. The present study was conducted to reveal the association between DDH and gene WIF1. A two-stage case-control candidate gene association study was conducted in total 1573 samples (586 DDH patients and 987 healthy controls) in this study. Polymorphism rs3782499 was genotyped in all samples. Difference of WIF1 expression in hip joint tissue was compared between the patients and the controls. WIF1 expression was compared among different genotypes in DDH patients. The SNP rs3782499 was found significantly associated with DDH in the two-stage study with 585 patients and 987 controls. There was a significant difference in allele frequency (p?=?4.37 * 10-5) and genotype distribution in a recessive model (AG?+?GG vs. AA). DDH patients were found to have significantly higher WIF1 expression than controls. Moreover, Patients with rs3782499 genotype AA have a significantly increased expression of WIF1 than those with GG. To conclude, polymorphism rs3782499 of WIF1 gene is a functional variant regulating the expression of WIF1 in DDH in Chinese Han population, which might be a potential biomarker for the early diagnosis of DDH.

Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 promotes brown adipocyte differentiation.

Project description:Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) is a member of the SFRP family that contains a cysteine-rich domain homologous to the putative Wnt-binding site of frizzled proteins. In the present report, the effects of SFRP4 on murine brown adipocyte differentiation were evaluated, which exhibited an intrinsic capacity to differentiate with high efficiency. Brown preadipocytes were isolated from the scapular region of brown adipose tissue, which showed that the overexpression of recombinant active SFRP4 protein at three concentrations (1, 10 and 100 ng/ml) significantly increased the expression of adipocyte differentiation-associated genes (C/EBPα, C/EBPβ, UCP-1, PRDM16, PGC1α and GLUT4) in a dose-dependent manner compared with the control group. Secondly, adiponectin protein expression was significantly inhibited in a dose-independent manner, while leptin was increased in brown adipocytes by incubation with the high concentration (100 ng/ml) of SFRP4. Thirdly, the role of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) was investigated in brown adipocytes and discovered that IL-1β cannot induce SFRP4 mRNA expression in brown adipocytes, similar to human islet cells. These data suggested that SFRP4-treated brown adipocytes represent a valuable in vitro model for the study of adipogenesis and indicated that SFRP4 served various functions during brown adipocyte differentiation.

Total hip arthroplasty for developmental hip dysplasia.

Project description:We reviewed 38 hip replacements in 33 female patients (mean age 55.3 years) with developmental hip dysplasia. One patient had died and the remaining 32 patients (36 hips) had a mean follow-up of 12.2 years (range 8-19 years). All hips were replaced using the Müller cemented implant, and in 32 hips bulk femoral head autograft was used. In 33 hips the socket was reconstructed at the level of the true acetabulum. Complications included one intra-operative femoral fracture and two early dislocations. Correction of leg length discrepancy was possible in 30 patients. The post-operative mean modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel scores for pain, movement and walking were 5.9, 5, and 5.3 respectively. One cup was revised due to aseptic loosening at ten years. All grafts united, but minor graft resorption was noticed in 24 hips, moderate in 2 hips and major in 1 hip.

Secreted frizzled-related protein 3 regulates activity-dependent adult hippocampal neurogenesis.

Project description:Adult neurogenesis, the process of generating mature neurons from adult neural stem cells, proceeds concurrently with ongoing neuronal circuit activity and is modulated by various physiological and pathological stimuli. The niche mechanism underlying the activity-dependent regulation of the sequential steps of adult neurogenesis remains largely unknown. Here, we report that neuronal activity decreases the expression of secreted frizzled-related protein 3 (sFRP3), a naturally secreted Wnt inhibitor highly expressed by adult dentate gyrus granule neurons. Sfrp3 deletion activates quiescent radial neural stem cells and promotes newborn neuron maturation, dendritic growth, and dendritic spine formation in the adult mouse hippocampus. Furthermore, sfrp3 reduction is essential for activity-induced adult neural progenitor proliferation and the acceleration of new neuron development. Our study identifies sFRP3 as an inhibitory niche factor from local mature dentate granule neurons that regulates multiple phases of adult hippocampal neurogenesis and suggests an interesting activity-dependent mechanism governing adult neurogenesis via the acute release of tonic inhibition.

Increased expression of secreted frizzled-related protein 4 in polycystic kidneys.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common hereditary disease associated with progressive renal failure. Although cyst growth and compression of surrounding tissue may account for some loss of renal tissue, the other factors contributing to the progressive renal failure in patients with ADPKD are incompletely understood. Here, we report that secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (sFRP4) is upregulated in human ADPKD and in four different animal models of PKD, suggesting that sFRP4 expression is triggered by a common mechanism that underlies cyst formation. Cyst fluid from ADPKD kidneys activated the sFRP4 promoter and induced production of sFRP4 protein in renal tubular epithelial cell lines. Antagonism of the vasopressin 2 receptor blocked both promoter activity and tubular sFRP4 expression. In addition, sFRP4 selectively influenced members of the canonical Wnt signaling cascade and promoted cystogenesis of the zebrafish pronephros. sFRP4 was detected in the urine of both patients and animals with PKD, suggesting that sFRP4 may be a potential biomarker for monitoring the progression of ADPKD. Taken together, these observations suggest a potential role for SFRP4 in the pathogenesis of ADPKD.

Nitric oxide suppression by secreted frizzled-related protein 2 drives retinoblastoma.

Project description:Retinoblastoma is a cancer of the infant retina primarily driven by loss of the Rb tumor suppressor gene, which is undruggable. Here, we report an autocrine signaling, mediated by secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (SFRP2), which suppresses nitric oxide and enables retinoblastoma growth. We show that coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CXADR) is the cell-surface receptor for SFRP2 in retinoblastoma cells; that CXADR functions as a "dependence receptor," transmitting a growth-inhibitory signal in the absence of SFRP2; and that the balance between SFRP2 and CXADR determines nitric oxide production. Accordingly, high SFRP2 RNA expression correlates with high-risk histopathologic features in retinoblastoma. Targeting SFRP2 signaling by SFRP2-binding peptides or by a pharmacological inhibitor rapidly induces nitric oxide and profoundly inhibits retinoblastoma growth in orthotopic xenograft models. These results reveal a cytokine signaling pathway that regulates nitric oxide production and retinoblastoma cell proliferation and is amenable to therapeutic intervention.

Secreted-frizzled-related protein 5 modulates calcium handling in human iPSC-cardiomyocytes

Project description:End-stage heart failure caused by myocardial injury is a leading cause of death in the developed world, with high prevalence and poor prognosis. Current therapies focus on attenuating cardiac remodeling after a cardiovascular event such as myocardial infarction or pressure overload, but no therapy is currently available to halt or reverse disease progression. Recent studies have suggested a cardioprotective function of the Wnt5a inhibitor secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) in preventing adverse cardiac remodeling. However, until now, the underlying molecular mechanisms of SFRP5 treatment in the human heart are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanistic and functional consequences of SFRP5 by establishing knockout and overexpression models in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Transcriptome profiling and deep pathway analysis revealed an involvement of SFRP5 in the regulation of calcium handling, cardiac contraction, and apoptosis. Functional analysis of iPSC-cardiomyocytes by live-cell calcium imaging confirmed the regulatory role of SFRP5 on calcium homeostasis. Our study uncovered a novel role of SFRP5 as a modulator of calcium handling, providing a deeper molecular understanding of the cardioprotective role of SFRP5 in the human heart.
