Project description:The biological characteristics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc involve complex changes in cell identity and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition to modulate jaw function during postnatal growth and aging. To better understand this process, we profiled and analyzed 39111 single-cell transcriptomes of TMJ disc cells from mice at different postnatal stages. Our data showed that TMJ disc cells are composed of 9 distinct clusters that can be divided into 4 principal cell types: fibroblasts (FBs), which were the most abundant, endothelial cells (ECs), macrophages (MPhs) and mural cells (MCs). FBs were found to exhibit heterogeneity in terms of biological processes related to ECM secretion and metabolic functions. The ECs and MPhs mainly clustered together in the junction of the anterior disc band and anterior attachment, indicating the potential importance of the inflammatory response in this region in the pathological process of disc diseases. Notably, we found for the first time that resident MCs are the source of the progenitor niche in TMJ discs. The pseudotime trajectory showed that MCs have 2 lineage fates: self-renewal or multidirectional differentiation toward functional cells. In MCs, the NOTCH3 and THY1 signaling pathways were ubiquitously active at all stages, coupled with specific gene expression of Notch3 and Thy1 in MCs, indicating the critical role of these molecules in MC characteristics. As an example, THY1+ cells in TMJ discs showed markedly stronger stem cell characteristics than THY1- disc cells in vitro and ex vivo. In addition, lineage tracing in vivo showed that the Myh11-CreER+ MC lineage proliferated and migrated to coordinate angiogenesis during disc injury but gradually lost its progenitor characteristics and ultimately became a functional cell for disc repair. Overall, we reveal multiple insights into the coordinated and temporal development of TMJ disc cells at different postnatal stages and are the first to describe the resident MC progenitor cell niche during TMJ disc growth and injury.

Project description:We conducted a genetic analysis of the developing temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ), a highly specialized synovial joint that permits movement and function of the mammalian jaw. First, we used laser capture microdissection to perform a genome-wide expression analysis of each of its developing components. The expression patterns of genes identified in this screen were examined in the TMJ and compared to other synovial joints including the shoulder joint and the hip joint. Striking differences were noted, indicating that the TMJ forms via a distinct molecular program. Several components of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway are among the genes identified in the screen, including Gli2, which is expressed specifically in the condyle and in the disk of the developing TMJ. We found that mice deficient in Gli2 display aberrant TMJ development such that the condyle loses its growth plate-like cellular organization and no disk is formed. In addition, we utilized a conditional strategy to remove activity of the Hh co-receptor encoded by Smo from chondrocyte progenitors. This cell autonomous loss of Hh signaling allows for disk formation, but the resulting structure fails to separate from the condyle. Thus, these experiments establish that Hh signaling acts at two distinct steps in disk morphogenesis, condyle initiation and disk-condyle separation, and provide a molecular framework for future studies of the TMJ.

Project description:Abstract Background Chronic constipation is prevalent and involves both colon sensitivity and various changes in intestinal bacteria, particularly mucosa-associated microflora. Here we examined regulatory mechanisms of TRPV4 expression by co-culturing colon epithelial cell lines with intestinal bacteria and their derivatives. We also investigated TRPV4 expression in colon epithelium from patients with constipation. Methods Colon epithelial cell lines were co-cultured with various enterobacteria (bacterial components and supernatant), folate, LPS, or short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). TRPV4 expression levels and promoter DNA methylation were assessed using pyrosequencing, and microarray network analysis. For human samples, correlation coefficients were calculated and multiple regression analyses were used to examine the association between clinical background, rectal TRPV4 expression level and mucosa-associated microbiota. Results Co-culture of CCD841 cells with P. acnes, C. perfringens, or S. aureus transiently decreased TRPV4 expression but did not induce methylation. Co-culture with clinical isolates and standard strains of K. oxytoca, E. faecalis, or E. coli increased TRPV4 expression in CCD841 cells, and TRPV4 and TNF-alpha expression were increased by E. coli culture supernatants but not bacterial components. Although folate, LPS, IL-6, TNF-alpha, or SCFAs alone did not alter TRPV4 expression, TRPV4 expression following exposure to E. coli culture supernatants was inhibited by butyric acid or TNF-alphaR1 inhibitor and increased by p38 inhibitor. Microarray network analysis showed activation of TNF-alpha, cytokines, and NOD signaling. TRPV4 expression was higher in constipated patients from the terminal ileum to the colorectum, and multiple regression analyses showed that low stool frequency, frequency of defecation aids, and duration were associated with TRPV4 expression. Meanwhile, incomplete defecation, time required to defecate, and number of defecation failures per 24 hours were associated with increased E. faecalis frequency. Conclusions Colon epithelium cells had increased TRPV4 expression upon co-culture with K. oxytoca, E. faecalis, or E. coli supernatants, as well as TNFα-stimulated TNFαR1 expression via a pathway other than p38. Butyrate treatment suppressed this increase. Epithelial TRPV4 expression was increased in constipated patients, suggesting that TRPV4 together with increased frequency of E. faecalis may be involved in the pathogenesis of various constipation symptoms.

Project description:Changes in the mechanical homeostasis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to the initiation and progression of degenerative arthropathies such as osteoarthritis (OA). Cells sense and engage with their mechanical microenvironment through interactions with the extracellular matrix. In the mandibular condylar cartilage, the pericellular microenvironment is composed of type VI collagen. NG2/CSPG4 is a transmembrane proteoglycan that binds with type VI collagen, and has been implicated in the cell stress response through mechanical loading-sensitive signaling networks including ERK 1/2. The objective of this study is to define the role of NG2/CSPG4 in the initiation and progression of TMJ OA and to determine if NG2/CSPG4 engages ERK 1/2 in a mechanical loading dependent manner. In vivo, we induced TMJ OA in control and NG2/CSPG4 knockout mice using a surgical destabilization approach. In control mice, NG2/CSPG4 is depleted during the early stages of TMJ OA and NG2/CSPG4 knockout mice have more severe cartilage degeneration, elevated expression of key OA proteases, and suppression of OA matrix synthesis genes. In vitro, we characterized the transcriptome and protein from control and NG2/CSPG4 knockout cells and found significant dysregulation of the ERK 1/2 signaling axis. To characterize the mechanobiological response of NG2/CSPG4, we applied mechanical loads on cell-agarose-collagen scaffolds using a compression bioreactor and illustrate that NG2/CSPG4 knockout cells fail to mechanically activate ERK 1/2 and are associated with changes in the expression of the same key OA biomarkers measured in vivo. Together, these findings implicate NG2/CSPG4 in the mechanical homeostasis of TMJ cartilage and in the progression of degenerative arthropathies including OA.

Project description:The discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR-1) deficient mice exhibit a high incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) already at early age. Young DDR-1 knock-out mice show typical histological signs of OA, like, surface fissures, loss of proteoglycans, cluster formation of the chondrocytes, altered collagen types as well as atypical arrangement of the collagen fibrils. The isolated chondrocytes from the TMJ exhibit an osteoarthritic character with high amounts of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (runx-2) and collagen type I compared to low levels of SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 9 (sox-9) and aggrecan. Especially, the amount of discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) is increased, which is key player of OA in this model. The gene expression as well as the proteins of the DDR-1-deficient chondrocytes from the TMJ could be influenced by a three dimensional matrix, combined with a knockdown of runx-2 or the stimulation with components of the extracellular matrix, for example nidogen-2. These manipulations caused the osteoarthritic chondrocytes of DDR-1-deficient mice to change their gene expression towards a signature of more physiological cartilage and will open new possibilities for future regenerative treatment options of temporomandibular disorders like OA of the TMJ.

Project description:Temporomandibular joint degenerative disease (TMJ-DD) is a chronic form of TMJ disorder that specifically afflicts people over the age of 40 and targets women at a higher rate than men. Prevalence of TMJ-DD in this population suggests that estrogen loss plays a role in the disease pathogenesis. Thus, the goal of the present study was to determine the role of estrogen on chondrogenesis and homeostasis via estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) during growth and maturity of the joint. Young and mature WT and ERαKO female mice were subjected to ovariectomy procedures and then given placebo or estradiol treatment. The effect of estrogen via ERα on fibrocartilage morphology, matrix production, and protease activity was assessed. In the young mice, estrogen via ERα promoted mandibular condylar fibrocartilage chondrogenesis partly by inhibiting the canonical Wnt signaling pathway through upregulation of sclerostin (Sost). In the mature mice, protease activity was partly inhibited with estrogen treatment via the upregulation and activity of protease inhibitor 15 (Pi15) and alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2m). The results from this work provide a mechanistic understanding of estradiol on TMJ growth and homeostasis and can be utilized for development of therapeutic targets to promote regeneration and inhibit degeneration of the mandibular condylar fibrocartilage.
