Sorting of Growth Plate Chondrocytes Allows the Isolation and Characterization of Cells of a Defined Differentiation Status

ABSTRACT: Axial growth of long bones occurs through a coordinated process of growth plate chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. This maturation of chondrocytes is reflected in a zonal change in gene expression and cell morphology from resting to proliferative, prehypertrophic, and hypertrophic chondrocytes of the growth plate followed by ossification. A major experimental limitation in understanding growth plate biology and pathophysiology is the lack of a robust technique to isolate cells from the different zones, particularly from small animals. Here, we report on a new strategy for separating distinct chondrocyte populations from mouse growth plates. By transcriptome profiling of microdissected zones of growth plates, we identified novel, zone-specific cell surface markers and used these for flow cytometry and immunomagnetic cell separation to quantify, enrich, and characterize chondrocytes populations with respect to their differentiation status. This approach provides a novel platform to study cartilage development and characterize mouse growth plate chondrocytes to reveal unique cellular phenotypes of the distinct subpopulations within the growth plate.

Gene Expression Across the Human Growth Plate

Project description:Chondrocytes advance through the long bone growth plate in synchrony, allowing their segregation into one of four zones each corresponding to a different phase of maturation. Beginning from the epiphysis the recognized zones are: reserve, proliferative, prehypertrophic, and hypertrophic. A fifth zone, the perichondrium is located in apposition to the growth plate at its circumferential surface. The progression of chondrocytes through these zones, and hence growth, is regulated by a complex interplay of signaling pathways, defects in which lead to osteochondrodysplasias. At present, there are over 370 recognized skeletal disorders, slightly more than half of which have been explained at the molecular level. Through a combination of laser microdissection, linear mRNA amplification, and GeneChip analysis, our laboratory has acquired the zone specific expression profile of chondrocytes from the distal femoral growth plates of two normal patients. On average, transcripts interrogated by 12,193 or 18,454 GeneChip probe sets (out of a possible 54,000 probe sets) were present in patients 1 and 2, respectively. The homologous inter-array correlations for the log(2) intensities were M-bM-^IM-% 0.91M-BM-10.01. Keywords: Chondrocyte differentiation program. Populations of cells corresponding to the hypertrophic, prehypertrophic, proliferative, reserve, and perichondrium, were separately isolated by laser microdissection from cryostat sections of human growth plates using a Leica AS-LMD microscope. RNA was prepared from the isolated cells, amplified using a T7 linear amplification protocol, and analyzed by hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. The distal femoral growth plate (left or right) was exclusively used for this study. Patient 1 of this study is an 11-10/12 year old Caucasian female and patient 2 is a 13-3/12 year old Caucasian male.

Spatial and Temporal Regulation of Gene Expression in the Mammalian Growth Plate

Project description:To explore the mechanisms responsible for spatial and temporal regulation of the growth plate, we microdissected postnatal rat growth plates into their constituent zones and then used microarray analysis to characterize the changes in gene expression that occur as chondrocytes undergo spatially-associated differentiation and temporally-associated senescence. Microdissection was used to collect individual growth plate zones from proximal tibiae of 1-wk rats and the proliferative and early hypertrophic zones of growth plates from 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-wk rats and gene expression was analyzed using microarray.

Analysis of the IRE1/XBP1 unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway in Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia hypertrophic chondrocyte endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress

Project description:We set out to determine the role of the IRE1/XBP1 pathway, the most ancient and highly conserved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-sensing pathway of the unfolded protein response (UPR), in Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (MCDS). RNA derived from hypertrophic zones microdissected from growth plates of wildtype mice, mice lacking XBP1 activity in chondrocytes (Xbp1Cart?Ex2), mice carrying a COL10A1 pN617K mutation (ColXN617K), and compound mutants (C/X) was analyzed by whole genome microarray analysis. 1633 probes were differentially expressed between ColXN617K and wildtype, 215 probes were differentially expressed between Xbp1Cart?Ex2 and wildtype, and 1337 probes were differentially expressed between C/X and wildtype. 885 probes were differentially expressed between ColXN617K and wildtype but not Xbp1Cart?Ex2 and wildtype or C/X and wildtype, thus representing the XBP1-dependent response to hypertrophic chondrocyte ER stress. 688 probes were differentially expressed between ColXN617K and wildtype and between C/X and wildtype but not Xbp1Cart?Ex2 and wildtype, thus representing the XBP1-independent response to hypertrophic chondrocyte ER stress. Results were validated by qPCR. Entire growth plate hypertrophic zones were microdissected from one tibia from each of three 2-week old wildtype mice, three 2-week old mice carrying a COL10A1 p.N617K mutation (ColXN617K), three 2-week old mice lacking XBP1 activity in chondrocytes (Xbp1Cart?Ex2), and three 2-week old mice resulting from a cross between ColXN617K and Xbp1Cart?Ex2 (C/X).

Phlpp1 alters the murine chondrocyte phospho-proteome during endochondral bone formation

Project description:Appendicular skeletal growth and bone mass acquisition are controlled by a variety of growth factors, hormones, and mechanical forces in a dynamic process called endochondral ossification. In long bones, chondrocytes in the growth plate proliferate and undergo hypertrophy to drive bone lengthening and mineralization. Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and leucine rich repeat phosphatase 1 and 2 (Phlpp1 and Phlpp2) are serine/threonine protein phosphatases that regulate cell proliferation, survival, and maturation via Akt, PKC, Raf1, S6k, and other intracellular signaling cascades. Germline deletion of Phlpp1 suppresses bone lengthening in part through parathyroid hormone receptor-dependent signaling in growth plate chondrocytes. Here, we demonstrate that Phlpp2 does not regulate endochondral ossification, and we define the molecular differences between Phlpp1 and Phlpp2 in chondrocytes. Phlpp2-/- mice are phenotypically indistinguishable from their wildtype (WT) littermates, with similar bone length, bone mass, and growth plate dynamics. Deletion of Phlpp2 had moderate effects on the chondrocyte transcriptome and proteome compared to WT cells. By contrast, Phlpp1/2-/- (double knockout) mice resembled Phlpp1-/- mice phenotypically and chondrocyte phospho-proteomes of Phlpp1-/- and Phlpp1/2-/- chondrocytes were different than WT and Phlpp2-/- chondrocyte phospho-proteomes. Data integration via multiparametric analysis identified alterations in Pdpk1 and Pak1/2 signaling pathways in chondrocytes lacking Phlpp1. In conclusion, these data demonstrate that Phlpp1, but not Phlpp2, regulates endochondral ossification through multiple and complex signaling cascades.

AP-1 family members act at DNA targets in conjunction with Sox9 to promote chondrocyte hypertrophy

Project description:A comprehensive analysis of Sox9 binding profiles in developing chondrocytes identified marked enrichment of an AP-1-like motif (Ohba et al. 2015). Here, we have explored the functional interplay between Sox9 and AP-1 in mammalian chondrocyte development. Among AP-1 family members, Jun and Fosl2 were highly expressed within prehypertrophic and early hypertrophic chondrocytes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) showed a striking overlap in Jun- and Sox9-bound regions throughout the chondrocyte genome, a reflection of direct binding of each factor to target motifs in shared enhancers, and physical interactions of AP-1 with Sox9. In vitro expression analysis indicates that direct co-binding of Sox9 and AP-1 at target motifs enhanced target gene expression, while protein-protein interactions suppressed AP-1- and Sox9-driven transcription. Analysis of prehypertrophic chondrocyte removal of Sox9 demonstrated Sox9 was essential for hypertrophic chondrocyte development, while in vitro and ex vivo analyses showed AP-1 promotes chondrocyte hypertrophy. Sox9 and Jun co-bound and co-activated a Col10a1 enhancer in Sox9 and AP-1 motif-dependent manners consistent with their combined action promoting hypertrophic gene expression. Together, the data support a model where AP-1-family members promote Sox9-action in the transition of chondrocytes to a terminal hypertrophic program. Intersection of ChIP-seq data from Sox9 and AP-1 factor Jun, RNA-seq data from developing rib chondrocytes and Col10a1mCherry positive hypertrophic chondrocytes in neonatal mice to uncover regulation of Sox9 by AP-1 factors during chondrocyte hypertrophy.

Transcriptional profiling of growth plate chondrocyte differentiation yields insight into endochondral ossification

Project description:A variety of cell cultures models and in vivo approaches have been used to study gene expression during chondrocyte differentiation. The extent to which the in vitro models reflect bona fide gene regulation in the growth plate has not been quantified. In addition, studies that evaluate global gene expression changes among different growth plate zones are limited. To address these issues, we completed a microarray screen of three growth plate zones derived from manually segmented embryonic mouse tibiae. Classification of genes differentially expressed between each respective growth plate zone, functional categorization as well as characterization of gene expression patterns, cytogenetic loci, signaling pathways and functional motifs confirmed documented data and pointed to novel aspects of chondrocyte differentiation. Parallel comparisons of the microdissected tibiae data set to our previously completed micromass culture screen further corroborated the suitability of micromass cultures for modeling gene expression in chondrocyte development. The micromass culture system demonstrated striking similarities to the in vivo microdissected tibiae screen; however, the micromass system was unable to accurately distinguish gene expression differences in the hypertrophic and mineralized zones of the growth plate. These studies will allow us to better understand zone-specific gene expression patterns in the growth plate. Ultimately, this work will help define both the genomic context in which genes are expressed in the long bones and the extent to which the micromass culture system is able to recapitulate chondrocyte development in endochondral ossification.

Gene expression analysis of ER-stressed growth plate chondrocytes in two mouse models of Schmid chondrodysplasia

Project description:We set out to generate transcriptional maps of chondrocyte UPR gene networks in vivo using two mouse models (Schmid and Cog) of Schmid chondrodysplasia, in order to define the consequences of UPR activation for the adaptation, differentiation, and survival of chondrocytes experiencing ER stress during hypertrophy, thus providing insights into ER stress signaling and its impact on cartilage pathophysiology. Our data demonstrate that both models displayed similar unfolded protein responses (UPRs), involving activation of ER stress sensors Ire1 and Atf6 and upregulation of their downstream targets, including molecular chaperones, foldases, and ER-associated degradation machinery. Also upregulated were the emerging UPR regulators Wfs1 and Syvn1, recently identified UPR components including Armet and Creld2, and genes not previously implicated in ER stress such as Steap1 and Fgf21. Moreover, we transcriptionally profiled the expression of wildtype growth plate zone gene signatures in the mutant hypertrophic zones, in order to define the differentiation status of ER-stressed chondrocytes in the mutant hypertrophic zones. Hypertrophic zone gene upregulation and proliferative zone gene downregulation were both inhibited in Schmid hypertrophic zones, resulting in the persistence of a proliferative chondrocyte-like expression profile in ER-stressed Schmid chondrocytes.

Chondrocyte Gene Expression in Proliferative and Hypertrophic Chondrocytes of Chick

Project description:Longitudinal bone growth depends upon the execution of an intricate series of cellular activities by epiphyseal growth plate chondrocytes. In order to better understand these coordinated events, microarray analysis was used to compare gene expression in chondrocytes isolated from the proliferative and hypertrophic zones of the avian growth plate. In this experiment we compared pooled samples of proliferative and hypertrophic chondrocytes isolated from the chick growth plate. The expression of 745 genes was found to differ 3-fold or greater at the 0.05 level of probability.
