Project description:To unravel the relative abundance and distribution of PGRN, TNFR2, and 14-3-3ε mRNA transcripts in different chondrocyte subpopulations, we performed single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) in chondrocytes isolated from human OA and normal cartilage.

Project description:Genome wide gene expression was determined in paired samples of OA affected and preserved cartilage of the same joint using microarray analysis for 33 patients of the RAAK-study. Among the 1717 genes that were significantly different expressed between OA affected and preserved cartilage we found significant enrichment for genes involved in skeletal development (e.g. TNFRSF11B and FRZB). Also several inflammatory genes such as CD55, PTGES and TNFAIP6, previously identified in within-joint analyses as well as in analyses comparing preserved cartilage from OA affected joints versus healthy cartilage were among the top genes. A notable new gene was NGF, highly up-regulated in OA cartilage. To identify gene expression profiles associated with OA processes in articular cartilage and determine pathways responsive to the disease process gene expression profiles of paired preserved and OA affected cartilage samples of the same joint were determined.

Project description:Objective: Fibronectin is a matrix protein that is fragmented during cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis (OA). Treatment of chondrocytes with fibronectin fragments (FN-f) has been used to model OA in vitro, but the system has not been fully characterized. This study sought to define the transcriptional response of chondrocytes to FN-f, and directly compare it to responses traditionally observed in OA. Design: Normal human femoral chondrocytes isolated from tissue donors were treated with either FN-f or PBS (control) for 3, 6, or 18 hours. RNA-seq libraries were compared between time-matched FN-f and control samples in order to identify changes in gene expression over time. Differentially expressed genes were compared to a published OA gene set and used for pathway, transcription factor motif, and kinome analysis. Results: FN-f treatment resulted in 3,914 differentially expressed genes over the time course. Genes that are up- or downregulated in OA were significantly up- (p < 0.00001) or downregulated (p < 0.0004) in response to FN-f. Early response genes were involved in proinflammatory pathways, whereas many late response genes were involved in ferroptosis. The promoters of upregulated genes were enriched for NF-?B, AP-1, and IRF motifs. Highly upregulated kinases included CAMK1G, IRAK2, and the uncharacterized kinase DYRK3, while growth factor receptors TGFBR2 and FGFR2 were downregulated. Conclusions: FN-f treatment of normal human articular chondrocytes recapitulated many key aspects of the OA chondrocyte phenotype. This in vitro model is promising for future OA studies, especially considering its compatibility with genomics and genome-editing techniques.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic joint disease and the precise genetic mechanisms are yet to be fully elucidated. The aim of this study is to evaluate, for the first time, the differences in gene expression profiles of healthy and leptin-induced cartilage in rat. To investigate the underlying pathogenic factors in OA, alterations in gene expression between leptin-induced articular cartilage rat models and healthy control rat models were investigated using the Whole Rat Genome Oligo Microarray. In the present study, 1857 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; 1197 up-regulated and 660 down-regulated) were identified. Expression of some OA-related known genes is known to be associated with leptin induction, including matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), inflammatory factors, growth factors and genes involved in cell death, apoptosis and osteoclast differentiation. However, some new candidate genes that had never been reported to be related with OA, such as BCL2L11, were consistently observed to be up-regulated, suggesting they might be involved in OA progression. Our findings indicate that leptin plays an important role in the progression of OA by mediating expression change in multiple genes, although the molecular mechanisms need to be further clarified. Further study of these leptin-induced genes may provide new insights into understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying OA. To identify genes with changed expression in response to leptin, genome wide expression profiles were generated for leptin-affected cartilage (L group) and healthy controls (H group) in rats. 24 rats were divided into two groups: control animals (H group, n = 12) and leptin-induced animals (L group, n = 12). H group included two replicates, sample1 and sample2. L group also included two replicates, sample3 and sample4.

Project description:Autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) is a routine technique to regenerate focal cartilage lesions. However, patients with osteoarthritis (OA) are lacking an appropriate long-lasting treatment alternative, partly since it is not known if chondrocytes from OA patients have the same chondrogenic differentiation potential as chondrocytes from donors not affected by OA. Articular chondrocytes from patients with OA undergoing total knee replacement (Mankin Score >3, Ahlbäck Score >2) and from patients undergoing ACT, here referred to as normal donors (ND), were isolated applying protocols used for ACT. Their chondrogenic differentiation potential was evaluated both in high-density pellet and scaffold (Hyaff-11) cultures by histological proteoglycan assessment (Bern Score) and immunohistochemistry for collagen types I and II. Chondrocytes cultured in monolayer and scaffolds were subjected to gene expression profiling using genome-wide oligonucleotide microarrays. Expression data were verified by using quantitative RT-PCR. Chondrocytes from ND and OA donors demonstrated accumulation of comparable amounts of cartilage matrix components, including sulphated proteoglycans and collagen types I and II. The mRNA expression of cartilage markers (COL2A1, COMP, aggrecan, CRTL1, SOX9) and genes involved in matrix synthesis (biglycan, COL9A2, COL11A1, TIMP4, CILP2) was highly induced in 3D cultures of chondrocytes from both donor groups. Genes associated with hypertrophic or OA cartilage (COL10A1, RUNX2, periostin, ALP, PTHR1, MMP13, COL1A1, COL3A1) were not significantly regulated between the two groups of donors. The expression of 661 genes, including COMP, FN1, and SOX9, were differentially regulated between OA and ND chondrocytes cultured in monolayer. During scaffold culture, the differences diminished between the OA and ND chondrocytes, and only 184 genes were differentially regulated. Only few genes were differentially expressed between OA and ND chondrocytes in Hyaff-11 culture. The risk of differentiation into hypertrophic cartilage does not seem to be increased for OA chondrocytes. Our findings suggest that the chondrogenic capacity is not significantly affected by OA and OA chondrocytes fulfill the requirements for matrix-associated ACT. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression profiles of monolayer cultures (ML; passage 2) and Hyaff-11 scaffold cultures (3D; 14 days in vitro) of chondrocytes from 3 normal donors (ND; underwent ACT treatment) and 3 donors suffering from Osteoarthritis (OA; underwent knee replacement surgery) were determined. Comparative analyses between 3D and ML cultures (3D vs. ML) were performed to assess differentiation capacity of ND and OA chondrocytes. Furthermore, OA-related differences were determined comparing OA and ND monolayers as well as scaffold cultures (each OA vs. ND).

Project description:Background: Meniscus tears are the most common injury in the knee and are associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA). The molecular profile of knees with meniscus tears is not well-studied. Therefore, to advance our understanding of the early response of the knee to injury, we compared the gene expression profile of meniscus and articular cartilage within the same knees following meniscus injury. Hypothesis/Purpose: To identify differences between the molecular signatures of meniscus and articular cartilage from knees with intact articular cartilage undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study Methods: Patients (n=12) with a known isolated medial meniscus tear without any knee chondrosis or radiographic OA were consented prior to surgery. During arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, a sample of their injured meniscus and a sample of their articular cartilage off the medial femoral condyle were procured. The transcriptome signatures, as measured through Affymetrix microarray, were compared between the two tissues and underlying biological processes were explored computationally. Results: 3566 gene transcripts were differentially expressed between meniscus and articular cartilage. Gene transcripts down-regulated in articular cartilage were associated with extracellular matrix organization, wound healing, cell adhesion, and chemotaxis. Gene transcripts up-regulated in articular cartilage were associated with blood vessels morphogenesis and angiogenesis. Examples of individual genes with significant differences in expression between the two tissues include IBSP (23.76 fold; P < 0.001), upregulated in meniscus, and TREM1 (3.23 fold; P = 0.006), upregulated in meniscus. Conclusion: The meniscus and articular cartilage have distinct gene expression profiles in knees with meniscus tears and intact articular cartilage. Total RNA obtained from injured meniscus and normal articular cartilage from patients undergoing partial meniscectomy.

Project description:Articular cartilage degeneration, which may lead to osteoarthritis (OA), is a normal component of the aging process, but its underlying mechanism remains unknown. We found that chondrocytes exhibited an energy metabolism shift from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) during aging. Reprogrammed cartilage metabolism by parkin ablation decreased OXPHOS and increased glycolysis, with ameliorated aging-related OA. Metabolomics analysis indicated that lauroyl-L-carnitine (LLC) was decreased in aged cartilage, but increased in parkin-deficient cartilage. In vitro, LLC improved the cartilage matrix synthesis of OA chondrocytes. In vivo, intraarticular injection of LLC in mice with anterior cruciate ligament transaction (ACLT) ameliorated OA. These results suggest that metabolic changes are regulated by parkin-impaired cartilage during aging, and targeting the metabolomic changes by supplementation with LLC is a promising treatment strategy for ameliorating OA.
