Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease, affecting over 300 million people world-wide. Accumulating evidence attests to the important roles of immune system in OA pathogenesis. Understanding the role of various immune cells in joint degeneration or joint repair after injury is helpful for improving therapeutic strategies for treating OA. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) develops in ~50% of individuals who have experienced an articular trauma like an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. Here, using highly sensitive single-cell RNA sequencing technology, we delineated the temporal dynamics of immune cell accumulation in the mouse knee joint after ACL rupture.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) affects 9.5% of the population. T1DM is characterized by severe insulin deficiency that causes hyperglycemia and leads to several systemic effects. T1DM has been suggested as a risk factor for articular cartilage damage and loss, which could expedite the development of osteoarthritis (OA). OA represents a major public health challenge by affecting 300 million people globally, yet very little is known about the correlation between T1DM and OA. In this study we aimed to understand the role of T1DM in OA by evaluating whether pre-existing T1DM exacerbates the development of knee post traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).

Project description:Despite ample evidence demonstrating that anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus tears are associated with the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA), the contributing factors remain unknown. Synovial inflammation has recently been recognized as a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of OA. However, there is a lack of data on synovial profiles after ACL or meniscus injuries, which may contribute to posttraumatic OA (PTOA). We performed RNA-seq of 3 inflamed synovial biopsy samples vs 3 normal synovial biopsy samples following ACL and/or meniscus injuries. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, and protein–protein interaction (PPI) analyses were performed to investigate mRNAs with significant differences between the inflamed and normal groups.Next, competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were constructed based on bioinformatics analyses and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) results. The association of the identified DEGs with the levels of infiltrating immune cells was explored using Pearson correlation analysis in R software. We aimed to provide greater insights into molecular mechanisms and biologic pathways in synovitis that could regulate post-trauma osteoarthritis progression.

Project description:36 Yucatan minipigs underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection and were randomly assigned in equal numbers to no further treatment, reconstruction or ligament repair. Cartilage was harvested at 1 and 4 weeks post-operatively and histology and RNA-sequencing performed. The generated data served to identify the molecular pathophysiology present in early post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), as well as differences between surgical treatments.

Project description:36 Yucatan minipigs underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection and were randomly assigned in equal numbers to no further treatment, reconstruction or ligament repair. Peri-meniscal synovium was harvested at 1 and 4 weeks post-operatively and histology and RNA-sequencing performed. The generated data served to identify the molecular pathophysiology present in inflamed synovium during the early development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), as well as differences between surgical treatments.

Project description:Objective Animal models of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) recapitulate the pathological changes observed in human PTOA. Here we aimed to compare the cartilage transcriptome responses of a non-surgical, mechanically induced rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) model and the surgical destabilisation of the medial meniscus (DMM) model. Methods Skeletally mature male C57Bl6 mice were subjected to either the non-surgical, mechanical ACL rupture or surgical DMM models and transcriptome profiling performed on micro-dissected cartilage at day 7 and 42 post-procedure, respectively; in general, naïve animals served as controls. MicroRNA profiling was also performed on the ACL rupture model. Expression levels of a miRNA of interest, miR-199-5p, were inhibited in primary human articular chondrocytes (HAC) with RNA-seq and 3’UTR assays used to identify and valid potential target genes. Results The number of differentially expressed genes between the two models were comparable and highly correlative (Spearman R =0.8, P<2.2E-16). Gene ontology enrichment analysis identified similarly enriched pathways, containing anabolic terms including ‘extracellular matrix organisation’ enriched for the upregulated genes. Within the ACL rupture miRNA transcriptome, miR-199-5p family members were amongst the most abundantly, and differentially expressed, which was replicated in the DMM cartilage by qRT-PCR. Inhibition of miR-199-5p in HAC led to a comparable transcriptome response to that observed in both human OA damaged vs intact cartilage and murine DMM cartilage datasets. Several genes, including GIT1, NCEH1, SOS2 and ECE1 were all experimentally verified as targets. Conclusion For the first time, we have characterised both the mRNA and miRNA articular cartilage signature in the ACL rupture model and demonstrated highly correlative responses with the DMM PTOA model. These data support the use of the ACL rupture model as a non-invasive alternative to DMM.

Project description:Background: Musculoskeletal disorders contribute to a substantial proportion of disability among people worldwide. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most frequent knee injuries, and a majority of patients will go on to develop knee osteoarthritis within 10 years. Traditional rehabilitation following injury has limited success restoring muscle strength and mitigating the onset of posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis. Growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), or myostatin, is a myokine that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal degeneration following ACL injury. This study investigated GDF8 levels in injured human skeletal muscle and serum and compared the efficacy of a humanized monoclonal GDF8 antibody against a placebo in a mouse model of injury-induced osteoarthritis (surgically induced ACL tear). Muscle GDF8 peaks rapidly following ACL injury, and early induction of GDF8 in skeletal muscle was predictive of atrophy, weakness and periarticular bone loss in patients six months following surgical ACL reconstruction. GDF8 antibody administration at the time of injury substantially reduced muscle atrophy, weakness and fibrosis in the mouse ACL injury model. GDF8 antibody treatment rescued the skeletal muscle and articular cartilage transcriptomic response to ACL injury and attenuated the severity of injury-induced knee osteoarthritis. Subcutaneous treatment with GDF8 antibody also diminished loss of periarticular bone microarchitecture. Genetic deletion of GDF8 neutralized musculoskeletal deficits in response to ACL injury. Our findings support an opportunity for rapid targeting of GDF8 to enhance functional musculoskeletal injury recovery and mitigate the development posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis, which could substantially reduce the disability burden associated with this injury.
