Project description:Short-read NGS technology (SOLIDTM, Life Technologies) was used to establish a comprehensive repertoire of miRNA expressed in either equine cartilage or subchondral bone. Undamaged cartilage and subchondral bone samples from 10-month Anglo-Arabian foals affected by osteochondrosis (OC) were analyzed and compared with samples from healthy foals. Samples were also subjected or not to an experimental mechanical loading to evaluate the role of miRNAs in the regulation of mechano-transduction pathways. Epiphyseal cartilage and subchondral bone miRNome were defined, including about 300 new miRNAs. Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between bone and cartilage from healthy and OC foals, as well as after the experimental mechanical loading, suggesting that miRNAs play a role in equine OC physiopathology and in the cellular response to biomechanical stress in cartilage and bone.

Project description:Objective : To study molecular changes in the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of the tibial plateau from mice deficient in frizzled related protein (Frzb) compared to wild-type mice by transcriptome analysis. Methods : Gene-expression analysis of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of 3 wild-type and 3 Frzb-/- mice was performed by microarray. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes between 3 wild-type and 2 Frzb-/- samples was explored with PANTHER, DAVID and GSEA bioinformatics tools. Activation of the WNT pathway was analyzed using western blot. The effects of Frzb gain and loss of function on chondrogenesis and cell proliferation was examined using ATDC5 micromasses and mouse ribcage chondrocytes. Results : Extracellular matrix-associated integrin and cadherin pathways, as well as WNT pathway genes were upregulated in Frzb-/- samples. Several WNT receptors, target genes, and other antagonists were upregulated, but no difference in active β-catenin was found. Analysis of ATDC5 cell micromasses overexpressing FRZB indicated an upregulation of aggrecan and Col2a1, and downregulation of molecules related to damage and repair in cartilage, Col3a1 and Col5a1. Silencing of Frzb resulted in downregulation of aggrecan and Col2a1. Pathways associated with cell cycle were downregulated. Ribcage chondrocytes derived from Frzb-/- mice showed decreased proliferation compared to wild-type cells. Conclusions : Our analysis provides evidence for tight regulation of WNT signaling, shifts in extracellular matrix components and effects on cell proliferation and differentiation in the articular cartilage - subchondral bone unit in Frzb-/- mice. These data further support an important role for FRZB in joint homeostasis and highlight the complex biology of WNT signaling in the joint.

Project description:To date, all of the prior osteoarthritic microarray studies in human tissue have focused on the overlying articular cartilage, meniscus, or synovium but not the underlying subchondral bone. In our previous study, our group developed a methodology for high quality RNA isolation from site-matched cartilage and bone from human knee joints, which allowed us to perform candidate gene expression analysis on the subchohndral bone (published on Osteoarthritis and Cartilage on Dec/5/2012 (doi: 10.1016/j.joca.2012.11.016). To the best of our knowledge, the current study is the first to successfully perform whole-genome microarray profiling analyses of human osteoarthritic subchondral bone. We believe our comprehensive microarray results can improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and could further contribute to the development of new biomarker and therapeutic strategies in osteoarthritis.

We believe our comprehensive microarray results can improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and could further contribute to the development of new biomarker and therapeutic strategies in osteoarthritis. Following histological assessment of the integrity of overlying cartilage and the severity of bone abnormality by microcomputed tomography, we isolated total RNA from regions of interest from human OA (n=20) and non-OA (n=5) knee lateral and medial tibial plateaus (LT and MT). A whole-genome profiling study was performed on an Agilent microarray platform and analyzed using Agilent GeneSpring GX11.5. Confirmatory quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis was performed on samples from nine OA individuals to confirm differential expression of 85 genes identified by microarray. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used to investigate canonical pathways and immunohistochemical staining was performed to validate protein expression levels in samples.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex degenerative joint disease, which is not only a cartilage but also a bone disease. A better understanding of the early molecular mechanism changes of subchondral bone in vivo may contribute to elucidating the pathogenesis of OA. We used microarray technology to investigate the time-course molecular changes of subchondral bone just beneath damaged cartilage in early stage of experimental osteoarthritis, and found 2,234 differentially expressed (DE) genes at 1 week, 1,944 at 2 weeks and 1,517 at 4 weeks postsurgery.Further analysis of dysregulated genes indicated that subchondral bone remodeling occurred sequentially and in a time-dependent manner at the gene expression level. Some known dysregulated genes suspected roles in influencing bone development or bone remodeling, such as Alp, Igf1, Tgf β1, Postn, Mmp3, Tnfsf11, Acp5, Bmp5, Aspn and Ihh, were confirmed by real-time PCR, and results indicated that our microarray data could accurately reflect gene expression patterns of early OA. Subsequently, to validate the results of our microarray analysis at protein level, immunohistochemistry staining was introduced to investigate the translational level of genes Mmp3 and Aspn in tissue sections, and results showed that the level of Mmp3 protein expression was totally matched the results of microarray and real-time PCR analysis. Nevertheless, the expression of Aspn protein was not observed differentially expressed at any time point.

Project description:Full thickness articular cartilage lesions with penetration into the subchondral bone fill with fibrocartilage-like repair tissue. However, the repair tissue has compromised structural and biomechanical properties relative to normal articular cartilage. The objective of this study was to evaluate transcriptome differences between normal articular cartilage and repair tissue. Bilateral one-cm2 full-thickness lesions were made in the articular surface of the distal femurs of four adult horses followed by subchondral microfracture. Four months postoperatively, repair tissue from the lesion site and grossly normal articular cartilage from each stifle were collected. Total RNA was isolated from tissue samples, linearly amplified, and applied to a 9367-probeset equine-specific cDNA microarray. Eight paired comparisons matched by limb and horse were made with a dye-swap experimental design. Comparisons were validated by histological analysis and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Statistical analysis revealed 3,327 (35.2%) differentially expressed probesets. Biomarkers typically associated with normal articular cartilage and fibrocartilage repair tissue corroborate earlier studies. Other changes in gene expression previously unassociated with cartilage repair were also revealed and validated by qPCR. The magnitude of divergence in transcriptional profiles between normal chondrocytes and the cells that populate repair tissue reveal substantial functional differences between these two cell populations. At the four-month postoperative time point, the relative deficiency within repair tissue of transcripts from genes which typically define articular cartilage indicate that while cells occupying the lesion might be of mesenchymal origin, they have not recapitulated differentiation to the chondrogenic phenotype of normal articular chondrocytes.
