Project description:Objective: To evalute the role of Ezh2 in chondrocyte differentiation. Method: Ezh2 was inactivated in chondrocytes using the Col2a1-Cre driver in vivo. Immature mouse chondrocytes (IMC) were isolated from wildtype and Ezh2 deficient mice, and plated in micromass culture. Chondrocytes were differentiated and RNA was isolated at days 3, 7, and 14 of culture. Isolated RNA was subjected to RNA sequencing analysis. Results: Ezh2 deficient chondrocytes exhibit enhanced expression of osteogenic genes compared to wildtype cells.

Project description:Objective: When primary chondrocytes are cultured in monolayer, they undergo dedifferentiation during which they lose their phenotype and their capacity to form cartilage. Dedifferentiation is an obstacle for cell therapy for cartilage degeneration. In this study, we aimed to systemically evaluate the changes in gene expression during dedifferentiation of human articular chondrocytes to identify underlying mechanisms. Methods: RNA was isolated from monolayer-cultured primary human articular chondrocytes at serial passages. Gene expression was analyzed by microarray. Based on the microarray analysis, relevant genes and pathways were identified. Their functions in chondrocyte dedifferentiation were further investigated in detail. Results: In vitro expanded human chondrocytes showed progressive changes in gene expression during dedifferentiation. Strikingly, an overall decrease in total gene expression was detected. Genes in the Wnt and BMP pathways exhibited significant changes in expression. The non-canonical rather than the canonical Wnt pathway was found to be involved in the loss of collagen II synthesis. BMP2 was able to decelerate the dedifferentiation and reinforce the maintenance of chondrocyte phenotype in monolayer culture. DNA methylation was in part responsible for the expression downregulation of a set of genes. Conclusion: Our study revealed the roles of ERK, Wnt and BMP pathways as well as DNA methylation in chondrocyte dedifferentiation in monolayer culture. RNA human chondrocytes were allowed to dedifferentiate for 8 passages. RNA was isolated at week 0, 2 ,4, 6 and 8, which was subjected to whole genome gene expression analysis.

Project description:Previous studies have demonstrated relative deficiencies of repair tissue within articular lesions when compared to articular cartilage. While cells occupying the lesions might be of mesenchymal origin, they do not recapitulate differentiation to the chondrogenic phenotype of normal articular chondrocytes. Nevertheless, attributes of repair tissue appear similar to chondrocytes and their precursors at various other different states. We hypothesized that analyses of gene expression profiles for these other cell phenotypes would elucidate the identity of repair tissue cells. Total RNA was isolated from repair tissue samples, neonatal articular cartilage, primary articular chondrocytes maintained in monolayer culture and passaged weekly over 28 days, and bone marrow stromal cells expanded to 80% confluence in monolayer culture. Total RNA was linearly amplified and applied to a 9413-probe set equine-specific cDNA microarray. Four repair tissue samples were compared with a dye-swap experimental design to four samples from each of the three other cell populations for a total of twelve comparisons, or twenty-four slides. Differential expression of genes of interest was validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis revealed that a total of 934 (9.9%), 1839 (19.5%), and 940 (10.0%) probe sets were differentially expressed for the bone marrow stromal cells versus repair tissue, de-differentiated chondrocytes versus repair tissue, and neonatal articular chondrocytes versus repair tissue comparisons, respectively. Transcriptional and translational machinery gene ontological categories were over-represented in transcripts demonstrating stable expression amongst the three comparisons. Biomarkers typically associated with normal articular cartilage and fibrocartilage repair tissue comprised much of the genes with the greatest levels of differential expression amongst the three comparisons. Overall, the profiles indicated that repair cells were more chondrogenic than bone marrow stromal cells and de-differentiated chondrocytes. However, transcript levels of key biomarkers and growth factors for repair tissue cells four months post-operatively fell far short of those of neonatal articular chondrocytes destined to undergo normal cartilage maturation.

Project description:As the unique cell type in articular cartilage, chondrocyte senescence is a crucial cellular event contributing to osteoarthritis development. Here we show that clathrin-mediated endocytosis and activation of Notch signaling promotes chondrocyte senescence and osteoarthritis development, which is negatively regulated by myosin light chain 3. Myosin light chain 3 (MYL3) protein levels decline sharply in senescent chondrocytes of cartilages from model mice and osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Conditional deletion of Myl3 in chondrocytes significantly promoted, whereas intra-articular injection of adeno-associated virus overexpressing MYL3 delayed, OA progression in male mice. MYL3 deficiency led to enhanced clathrin-mediated endocytosis by promoting the interaction between myosin VI and clathrin, further inducing the internalization of Notch and resulting in activation of Notch signaling in chondrocytes. Pharmacologic blockade of clathrin-mediated endocytosis-Notch signaling prevented MYL3 loss-induced chondrocyte senescence and alleviated OA progression in mice. Our results establish a previously unknown mechanism essential for cellular senescence and provide a potential therapeutic direction for OA.

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).
