Patients with Osteoarthritis and Kashin-Beck Disease Display Distinct CpG Methylation Profiles in the DIO2, GPX3, and TXRND1 Promoter Regions.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to analyze deoxycytidine-deoxyguanosine dinucleotide (CpGs) methylation profiles in DIO2, GPX3, and TXNRD1 promoter regions in osteoarthritis (OA) and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) patients.

Methods

Blood samples were collected from 16 primary OA patients and corresponding 16 healthy individuals and analyzed for methylations in the CpGs of DIO2, GPX3, and TXNRD1 promoter regions using MALDI-TOF-MS. The methylation profiles of these regions were then compared between OA and KBD patients.

Results

DIO2-1_CpG_2 and DIO2-1_CpG_3 methylations were significantly lower in OA than KBD patients (P < 0.05). A similar trend was observed for GPX3-1_CpG_4, GPX3-1_CpG_7, GPX3-1_CpG_8.9.10, GPX3-1_CpG_13.14.15 and GPX3-1_CpG_16 (P < 0.05) as well as TXNRD1-1_CpG_1 and TXNRD1-1_CpG_2 methylation between OA and KBD patients (P < 0.05). However, there was no difference in methylation levels of other CpGs between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusion

OA and KBD patients display distinct methylation profiles in the CpG sites of DIO2, GPX3, and TXNRD1 promoter regions. These findings provide a strong background and new perspective for future studies on mechanisms underlying epigenetic regulation of selenoprotein genes associated with OA and KBD diseases.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the differences in gene expression between children and adults with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD).Methods12 children with KBD and 12 healthy children were selected and divided into 4 KBD vs. control pairs matched according to age and gender, with each pair having 3 KBD children and 3 healthy children. Additionally, 15 adults with KBD and 15 healthy adults were selected and divided into 5 KBD vs. control pairs matched according to age and gender, with each pair having 3 KBD adults and 3 healthy adults. Total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) respectively. A total of 367 target genes were selected based on previous genome-wide gene expression profile analysis. Expression levels of the 367 genes were evaluated by customized oligonucleotide microarray and the differentially expressed genes were identified. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was conducted to validate the microarray data.ResultsA total of 95 (25.9%) genes in KBD children and 158 (43.1%) genes in KBD adults were found to exhibit more than two-fold change in gene expression level relative to healthy controls. By comparing differentially expressed genes identified in KBD children to those of KBD adults, 42 genes were found to be differentially expressed only in KBD children. And 105 genes were found to be differentially expressed only in KBD adults. Further, 16 differentially expressed genes common to both KBD children and adults were found to be asynchronously expressed in KBD children compared to KBD adults.ConclusionSignificant differences in gene expression pattern were identified between KBD children and KBD adults, indicating different molecular mechanisms underlying cartilage lesions of KBD children and KBD adults. In addition, bone development-related genes GDF5 (expression ratio = 2.14±0.02) and DIO2 (expression ratio = 0.11±0.05) may contribute to the development of KBD in children rather than in adults.
