Lgr5 and Col22a1 mark progenitor cells in the lineage toward juvenile articular chondrocytes

ABSTRACT: The synovial joint forms from a pool of progenitor cells in the interzone region of the future joint. Expression of Gdf5 and Wnt9a has been used to mark the earliest cellular processes in the formation of the interzone and the progenitor cells. However, progression and lineage specification toward the different tissues of the joint is not well understood. Here, by lineage tracing studies we identify a population of Lgr5+ interzone cells that contribute to the formation of cruciate ligaments, synovial membrane and articular chondrocytes of the joint. This is supported by single cell transcriptome analyses. Furthermore, we showed that Col22a1, a marker of early articular chondrocytes, co-expresses with Lgr5+ cells prior to cavitation as an important lineage marker specifying the progression towards articular chondrocytes. Lgr5+ cells contribute to the repair of a joint defect with the re-establishment of Col22a1 containing superficial layer.

Expression data of e13.5 Sox-GFP forming digit, e14.5 Lgr5-GFP+ interzone and e14.5 GFP- surrounding tissues in digit

Project description:Lgr5 is a novel marker expressing in the interzone from around e14.5 of developing synovial joint. By comparing the expression profiles of e14.5 Lgr5+ interzone cells, surrounding Lgr5- non-interzone cells and also e13.5 digit, we have identified some differential expressing genes in the interzone. We have generated bulk RNAseq data of e14.5 Lgr5+ interzone cells, surrounding non-interzone cells and e13.5 Sox9+ chondrocytes cells in digit.

Gene expression of the intermediate and outer interzone of murine embryos at 15.5 days of gestation

Project description:Nascent embryonic joints, interzones, contain a distinct cohort of progenitor cells responsible for the formation of the majority of articular tissues. However, to date the interzone has largely been studied using in situ analysis for candidate genes in the context of the embryo rather than using an unbiased genome wide expression analysis on isolated interzone cells, leaving significant controversy regarding the exact role of the intermediate and outer interzone layers in joint formation. Therefore, in this study, using laser capture microdissection (three biological replicates), we selectively harvested the intermediate and outer interzones of mouse embryos at gestational age 15.5 days, just prior to cavitation, when the differences between the layers should be most profound. Microarray analysis (Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarrays) was performed and the differential gene expression between the intermediate interzone cells and outer interzone cells was examined by performing a 2-sided paired student t-test and pathway analysis. 197 genes were differentially expressed (M-bM-^IM-% 2-fold) between the intermediate interzone and the outer interzone with a p-value M-bM-^IM-$ 0.01. Of these, 91 genes showed higher expression levels in the intermediate interzone and 106 were expressed higher in the outer interzone. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes suggests an important role for inflammatory processes in the interzone layers, especially in the intermediate interzone, and hence in joint and articular cartilage development. The high representation of genes relevant to chondrocyte hypertrophy and endochondral ossification in the outer interzone suggests that it undergoes endochondral ossification. 2 study groups (intermediate and outer interzone) with three biological replicates (1 biological replicate = 1 embryo)

A single cell transcriptional atlas of early synovial joint development

Project description:Synovial joint development begins with the formation of the interzone, a region of condensed mesenchymal cells at the site of the prospective joint. Recently, lineage tracing strategies have revealed that Gdf5-lineage cells native to and from outside the interzone contribute to most, if not all, of the major joint components. However, there is limited knowledge of the specific transcriptional and signaling programs that regulate interzone formation and fate diversification of synovial joint constituents. To address this, we have performed single cell RNA-Seq analysis of 7,329 synovial joint progenitor cells from the developing murine knee joint from E12.5 to E15.5. By using a combination of computational analytics, in situ hybridization, and in vitro characterization of prospectively isolated populations, we have identified the transcriptional profiles of the major developmental paths for joint progenitors. Our freely available single cell transcriptional atlas will serve as a resource for the community to uncover transcriptional programs and cell interactions that regulate synovial joint development.

Suppression of apoptosis impairs phalangeal joint formation in the pathogenesis of brachydactyly type A1

Project description:Brachydactyly type A1 (BDA1), due to mutations in IHH, is characterized with shortened and/or missing middle phalangeal bones. These mutations alter the capacity and range of IHH signaling, reducing mesenchymal cells recruiting into the cartilage anlagen of a growing digit, result in a shorter middle phalange. However, reason for a missing middle phalange is unclear. Here, in IhhE95K BDA1 mouse, we showed a link to impaired apoptosis normally needed for interzone cavitation, thus a joint is not formed and the middle phalange is deemed absence. Hedgehog interacting partners (PTCH, CDON, GAS1and HHIP) are expressed in the interzone. Our data support a model for interzone cavitation, where CDON/GAS1 function as dependency receptors. Normally, IHH level is low at the center of the interzone, and the “ligand-free” CDON/GAS1 activate cell death for cavitation. In BDA1 joint, this is suppressed due to excess IHH. Our findings provided new insights into the role of IHH and CDON in joint formation, with relevance to hedgehog signaling in developmental biology.

Single-cell sequencing of murine articular cartilage

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage loss, bone remodeling, synovial inflammation, and significant joint pain, often resulting in disability. Injury to the synovial joint such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the major cause of OA in young adults. Currently, there are no approved therapies available to prevent joint degeneration or rebuild articular cartilage destroyed by OA, primarily because our understanding of the cellular and molecular changes that contribute to joint damage is very limited. The synovial joint is a complex structure composed of several tissues including articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovium, synovial fluid, and tensile tissues including tendons and ligaments. In the present study, using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we examined the cellular heterogeneity in articular cartilage from mouse knee joints and determined the knee joint injury-induced early molecular changes in the chondrocytes that could contribute to OA.

Creb5 coordinates synovial joint formation with the genesis of articular cartilage

Project description:While prior work has established that articular cartilage arises from Prg4-expressing perichondrial cells, it is not clear how this process is specifically restricted to the perichondrium of synovial joints. We document that the transcription factor Creb5 is necessary to initiate the expression of signaling molecules that both direct the formation of synovial joints and guide perichondrial tissue to form articular cartilage instead of bone. Creb5 promotes the generation of articular chondrocytes from perichondrial precursors in part by inducing expression of Wif1, which blocks a Wnt5a autoregulatory loop in the perichondrium. Postnatal deletion of Creb5 in the articular cartilage leads to loss of both flat superficial zone articular chondrocytes coupled with a loss of both Prg4 and Wif1 expression; and a non-cell autonomous up-regulation of Ctgf. Our findings indicate that Creb5 promotes both joint formation and the subsequent development of articular chondrocytes by disrupting a Wnt5a positive-feedback loop in the perichondrium.

Chromatin architecture and cis-regulatory landscape of the DACT2-SMOC2 locus in the developing synovial joint.

Project description:We report the 3D chromatin organization of the 3.4Mb DACT2-SMOC2 locus generated for interphalangeal interzone and phalange, tissues collected during synovial joint formation. The interzone and phalange samples have been dissected from developing hindlimb digits of the chicken embryo at Hamilton Hamburger stage 32 (HH32). Collected material has been processed using the Targeted Chromatin Capture protocol optimized for the 1mln cell. Generation of the T2C-interaction maps has revealed the 3D chromatin architecture of the DACT2-SMOC2 locus in the interzone and phalange tissues as well as identified potential candidate enhancers located in spatial proximity of DACT2 and SMOC2 gene promoters. We report the ChIPseq derived Candidate Enhancer (CE) atlas generated for interphalangeal interzone and phalange, tissues collected during synovial joint formation. Three replicates for interzone and three replicated for phalange were immunoprecipitated (IP) with the H3K27ac antibodies. Also, two replicates for interzone and two replicates for phalange were immunoprecipitated with H3K4me1 antibodies. The IP samples for both histone marks were sequenced and used for annotation of CEs. Further, the CEs were functionally annotated. In parallel, the total RNA for three interzone and three phalange replicates was isolated and mRNA sequencing libraries were constructed. Next the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and integrative analysis of DEGs and CEs was performed.

Synovial Cell Cross-talk with Cartilage Plays a Major Role in the Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis

Project description:We elucidated the molecular cross-talk between knee articular cartilage and paired synovium in n=3 individuals with knee osteoarthritis using the powerful tool of single-cell RNA-sequencing. Multiple cell types were identified based on profiling of 10,640 synoviocytes and 26,192 chondrocytes (11,579 chondrocytes from the diseased medial vs 14,613 chondrocytes from the relatively non-diseased lateral tibial plateau): 12 distinct synovial cell types and 7 distinct articular chondrocyte phenotypes from matched tissues. Intact cartilage was enriched for homeostatic and hypertrophic chondrocytes, while damaged cartilage was enriched for prefibro- and fibro-, regulatory, reparative and prehypertrophic chondrocytes. A total of 61 cytokines and growth factors were predicted to regulate the 7 chondrocyte cell phenotypes. Based on production by >1% of cells, 55% of the cytokines were produced by synovial cells (39% exclusive to synoviocytes and not expressed by chondrocytes) and their presence in osteoarthritic synovial fluid confirmed. The synoviocytes producing IL-1beta (a classic pathogenic cytokine in osteoarthritis), mainly inflammatory macrophages and dendritic cells, were characterized by co-expression of surface proteins corresponding to HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQA2, OLR1 or TLR2. Strategies to deplete these pathogenic intra-articular cell subpopulations could be a therapeutic option for human osteoarthritis.
