Identification of synovial fibroblasts subsets associated with pain and progression of knee osteoarthritis

ABSTRACT: Background: Synovial inflammation is associated with pain severity in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The aim here was to determine in a population with knee OA, whether synovial tissue from areas associated with pain exhibited different synovial fibroblast transcriptomes, compared to synovial tissue from sites not associated with pain. A further aim was to compare differences between early and end-stage disease synovial fibroblasts. Methods: Patients with early knee OA (n=29) and end-stage knee OA (n=22) were recruited. Patient reported pain was recorded by questionnaire and using an anatomical knee pain map. Proton density fat suppressed MRI axial and sagittal sequences were analysed and scored for synovitis. Synovial tissue was obtained from the medial and lateral parapatellar and suprapatellar sites. RNA sequencing was performed using Illumina’s NextSeq 500 and analysed with Galaxy web platform, usegalaxy.org, and Qlucore software. Transcriptomes were functionally characterised using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Findings: Parapatellar synovitis was significantly associated with increased OA pain perception. Functional pathway analysis revealed that early OA painful sites mediate immune cell recruitment and promote the formation and development of neurites. Conclusion: OA disease progression and the presence of pain in early OA is associated with different synovial pathotypes. Further interrogation of these pathotypes will increase our understanding of the role of synovitis in OA joint pain and provide a rationale for the therapeutic targeting to alleviate pain in patients.

Identification of distinct synovial fibroblast subsets associated with pain and progression of knee osteoarthritis using single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:Synovial inflammation is associated with pain severity in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The aim here was to determine in a population with knee OA, whether synovial tissue from areas associated with pain exhibited different synovial fibroblast subsets, compared to synovial tissue from sites not associated with pain. A further aim was to compare differences between early and end-stage disease synovial fibroblast subsets. Parapatellar synovitis was significantly associated with the pattern of patient-reported pain in knee OA patients. Synovial tissue from sites of patient-reported pain exhibited a differential transcriptomic phenotype, with distinct synovial fibroblast subsets in early OA and end-stage OA. Functional pathway analysis revealed that synovial tissue and fibroblast subsets from painful sites promoted fibrosis, inflammation and the growth and activity of neurons. The secretome of fibroblasts from early OA painful sites induced neurite outgrowth in dorsal root ganglion neurons. Sites of patient-reported pain in knee OA is associated with a different synovial tissue phenotype and distinct synovial fibroblast subsets. Further interrogation of these fibroblast pathotypes will increase our understanding of the role of synovitis in OA joint pain and provide a rationale for the therapeutic targeting of fibroblast subsets to alleviate pain in patients.

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.

Pain-driven transcriptome changes in synovium of knee osteoarthritis patients

Project description:Objectives : Joint pain causes a significant morbidity in osteoarthritis (OA). The synovium as an innervated joint structure might contribute to the peripheral pain in OA. Methods : We used a hypothesis-free next generation RNA sequencing to study protein coding and small non-coding transcriptomes in knee synovial tissues of OA patients (n=10) with high and low knee pain (evaluated by visual analogue scale) followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses and integration of mRNAs and small RNAs data sets. Results : We showed that 33 protein-coding genes and 35 small RNAs were differentially expressed in the knee synovium of patients with high compared to low intensity knee pain, with 30 mRNAs and 14 small RNAs being upregulated and 2 mRNAs and 21 small RNAs being downregulated. Top enriched genes, such as SDIM1 and CPE encode neuronal proteins that share molecular properties with neurotrophic factor BDNF and promote neuronal survival under cellular stress, and OTOF participates in calcium-dependent synaptic exocytosis and modulation of GABAergic activity. TrkB was enriched in several gene networks, suggesting its key role in pain-related transcriptional changes in OA joint. Downregulation of PTX3 in high pain group supports an argument that inflammation and pain are independent processes in symptomatic knee OA. MiR-146a-3p and miR150 appeared as the microRNA candidates in the pathogenesis of OA-related knee pain. Conclusions : Here we uncovered the molecular complexity of pain-related transcriptome changes in the synovium of knee joints in osteoarthritis. We identified new molecular candidates in OA pain setting a firm ground for future mechanistic studies and drug discovery in OA.

Systematic Analysis of Transcriptomic Profile of Chondrocytes in Osteoarthritis Using Next-Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics

Project description:The phenotypic change of chondrocytes and the interplay between cartilage and subchondral bone in osteoarthritis (OA) has received much attention. Structural changes with nerve ingrowth and vascular penetration within OA cartilage may contribute to arthritic joint pain. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes and potential miRNA regulations in OA knee chondrocytes through next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Results suggested the involvement of SMAD family member 3 (SMAD3) and Wnt family member 5A (WNT5A) in the growth of blood vessels and cell aggregation, representing features of cartilage damage in OA. Additionally, 26 dysregulated genes with potential miRNA⁻mRNA interactions were identified in OA knee chondrocytes. Myristoylated alanine rich protein kinase C substrate (MARCKS), epiregulin (EREG), leucine rich repeat containing 15 (LRRC15), and phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) expression patterns were similar among related OA cartilage, subchondral bone and synovial tissue arrays in Gene Expression Omnibus database. The Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified MARCKS to be associated with the outgrowth of neurite, and novel miRNA regulations were proposed to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of the altered OA knee joint microenvironment. The current findings suggest new perspectives in studying novel genes potentially contributing to arthritic joint pain in knee OA, which may assist in finding new targets for OA treatment.

Arthritis_RA_OA_VNS

Project description:Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) represents a rare group of lesions with morphological features suggesting an inflammatory as well as a neoplastic nature. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by a chronic inflammation of the synovial tissue and a tumor-like proliferation (TLP) of synovial stroma cells. Osteoarthritis (OA) shows modest inflammatory infiltrates and no TLP. All three diseases result in a progressive destruction of affected joints and remain a diagnostic difficulty because of nonspecific symptoms. This study aimed to identify molecular markers and genes correlated with the development of RA, OA, and PVNS using human whole genome cDNA microarrays and tissue samples obtained from knee surgery.

Proteomics profiling of human synovial fluid suggests global increased protein interplay in early-osteoarthritis (OA) and lost in late-stage OA

Project description:The underlying molecular mechanisms in osteoarthritis (OA) development are largely unknown. This study explores the proteome and the pairwise interplay of proteins on a global level in synovial fluid from patients with late-stage knee OA (arthroplasty), early knee OA (arthroscopy due to degenerative meniscal tear) and from deceased controls without knee OA. Synovial fluid samples were analyzed using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry with data-independent acquisition. The differential expression of the proteins detected was clustered and evaluated with data mining strategies and a multilevel model. Group-specific slopes of associations were estimated between expressions of each pair of identified proteins to assess the co-expression (i.e. interplay) between the proteins in each group. More proteins were increased in early-OA vs controls than late-stage OA vs controls. For most of these proteins, the fold changes between late-stage OA vs controls and early stage OA vs controls were remarkably similar suggesting potential involvement in the OA process. Further, for the first time this study illustrated distinct patterns in protein co-expression suggesting that the global interplay between the protein machinery is increased in early-OA and lost in late-stage OA. Further efforts should probably focus on earlier stages of the disease than previously considered.

RNA-sequencing from inflamed and normal synovial membrane after anterior cruciate ligament and/or meniscus injuries

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.

Extracellular vesicles derived from synovial inflammatory macrophages induce the onset of osteoarthritis in a FMRP-selectively sorted manner

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is an aging-related degenerative joint disease without effective therapeutic. In the early stage of OA, mild synovitis has been proven to induce normal cartilage lesions. However, the mechanism is poorly defined. Here, we identified that the extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from synovial inflammatory macrophages regulate the autophagy function of chondrocytes, acting as the dominant inducer of the onset of cartilage degeneration in normal and OA joints. Mechanistically, the active transfer of miR-155-5p via EVs from synovial inflammatory macrophages to chondrocytes accelerates cartilage degeneration by suppressing GSK 3β/mTORC1 axis-mediated autophagy function during OA progression.

Infrapatellar fat pad adipose tissue-derived macrophages displays a predominant CD11c+CD206+ phenotype and expresses genotypes attributable to key features of OA pathogenesis

Project description:In knee osteoarthritis (OA), macrophages are the most predominant immune cells that infiltrate synovial tissues and IPFPs. Both M1 and M2 macrophages have been described, but their role in OA have not been fully investigated. Therefore, we investigated macrophage subpopulations in IPFPs and synovial tissues of knee OA patients and their correlation with disease severity, examined their transcriptomics and tested for factors that influenced their polarization.

Gene expression pattern of synovial cells from inflammatory and normal areas of osteoarthritis synovial membrane

Project description:The aim of this study was to compare the gene expression pattern of synovial cells from inflammatory (I) or normal/reactive (N/R) areas of a synovial membrane harvested from the same osteoarthritis (OA) patient. This study is the first to identify different expression pattern between two areas of the synovial membrane in the same patient. These differences concern several key pathways involved in OA pathogenesis (inflammation, cartilage metabolism, Wnt signaling and angiogenesis). This analysis also provides interesting information regarding new potent intermediates as potentiel targets for the future therapeutic. Synovial tissues were obtained from 12 knee OA patients at the time of total knee replacement. The inflammatory status of the synovial membrane was characterized according to macroscopic criteria and sorted as N/R and I. Biopsies were cultured separately for 7 days. Microarray gene expression profiling between N/R and I areas was performed.
