Pregnane X receptor knockout mice display aging-dependent wearing of articular cartilage

ABSTRACT: Steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) and its murine ortholog pregnane X receptor (PXR) are nuclear receptors that are expressed mainly in the liver and the intestine. They function as xenobiotic sensors by inducing genes involved in detoxification and drug excretion. Recent evidence showed that SXR and PXR are also expressed in bone tissue where they mediate bone metabolism. Here we report that systemic deletion of PXR results in aging-dependent wearing of articular cartilage of knee joints. Histomorphometrical analysis showed remarkable reduction of width and an enlarged gap between femoral and tibial articular cartilage in PXR knockout mice. We hypothesized that genes induced by SXR in chondrocytes have a protective effect on articular cartilage and identified Fam20a (family with sequence similarity 20a) as an SXR-dependent gene induced by the known SXR ligands, rifampicin and vitamin K2. Lastly, we demonstrated the biological significance of Fam20a expression in chondrocytes by evaluating osteoarthritis-related gene expression of primary articular chondrocytes. Consistent with epidemiological findings, our findings indicate that SXR/PXR protects against aging-dependent wearing of articular cartilage and that ligands for SXR/PXR have potential role in preventing osteoarthritis caused by aging.

ADC5 cells were infected with adeno-SXR or adeno-DsRed and cultured in phenol red-free DMEM with charcoal/dextran-treated FCS (5%) containing rifampicin (10 μM), vitamin K2 (10 μM), or ethanol. Total RNA was extracted from the cells using the ToTALLY RNA Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). Profiling of mRNA was performed on Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, USA) according to the Gene Chip labeling assay manual version 4.

Matrix stiffening promotes chondrocyte senescence and the osteoarthritis development through downregulating HDAC3

Project description:Cartilage aging is a quintessential feature of knee osteoarthritis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening is a typical feature of cartilage aging. However, the mechanism of ECM stiffening to influence chondrocytes and downstream molecules is still poorly understood. Here, we mimicked the physiological and pathological stiffness of human cartilage by using polydimethylsiloxane-based substrates. We show that the epigenetic regulation of Parkin by histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) represents a new mechanosensitive mechanism by which the stiff matrix affects the physiology of chondrocytes. We found that ECM stiffening could accelerate the senescence of cultured chondrocytes in vitro, and also found that stiff ECM downregulated HDAC3, drove Parkin acetylation to activate excessive mitophagy, and accelerated chondrocyte senescence and osteoarthritis in mice. In contrast, intra-articular injection of adeno-associated virus expressing HDAC3 restored the young phenotype of aged chondrocytes stimulated by ECM stiffening and alleviated osteoarthritis in mice. Our findings indicate that changes in the mechanical properties of ECM initiate pathogenic mechanotransduction signals, promote the acetylation of Parkin and hyperactivate mitophagy, and damage the health of chondrocytes. These findings may provide new insights into how the mechanical properties of ECM regulate chondrocytes.

Targeting parkin-regulated metabolomic change in cartilage in the treatment of osteoarthritis

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.

Contributions of chondrocyte senescence and menopause to the increased incidence of osteoarthritis in older women

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Aging is one of the major risk factors for OA, with the disease prevalence dramatically increasing after age 50. While OA is strongly associated with aging, the specific mechanisms underlying this connection remain unclear. In this pilot study, we performed bulk RNA sequencing on human knee articular chondrocytes to identify transcriptomic changes underlying OA development in the context of aging. We compared the gene expression profiles of chondrocytes isolated from osteoarthritic cartilage of older individuals (age 70-80 years) to those of chondrocytes from the healthy cartilage of a young adult (age 26 years). To model aging in vitro, chondrocytes were serially passaged until they reached the replicative senescence.

Identification of Sik3-targeting compound, pterosin B, for treatment of osteoarthritis

Project description:Osteoarthritis is a common joint disorder that causes debilitating conditions among the elderly. Risk factors of osteoarthritis include age, which is often associated with the thinning of articular cartilage. We generated conditional knockout mice that lack salt-inducible kinase 3 (Sik3) specifically in chondrocytes after birth by tamoxifen administration. Deletion of Sik3 at 2 or 8 weeks after birth increased the thickness of articular cartilage by increasing the chondrocyte population. Additionally, Sik3 deletion protected cartilage against osteoarthritis development. We identified the edible Pteridium aquilinum ingredient, pterosin B, as a compound that inhibits the Sik3 pathway. Intraarticular injection of pterosin B protected cartilage against osteoarthritis development. Sik3 deletion or pterosin B treatment inhibited activation of the hypertrophic program through the histone deacetylase 4 (Hdac4) pathway, increased Prg4 expression in chondrocytes, and protected cartilage against osteoarthritic attack. Collectively, our results suggest Sik3 is a regulator that regulates homeostasis of articular cartilage thickness and a target for treatment of osteoarthritis, and that pterosin B can be the lead compound for relevant drugs.

Comparison between articular chondrocytes and mesenchymal stromal cells for the production of articular chondrocyte implants

Project description:Focal lesions of articular cartilage give rise to pain and reduced joint function and may, if left untreated, lead to osteoarthritis. Implantation of in vitro generated, scaffold-free autologous cartilage discs may represent the best treatment option. Here we compare articular chondrocytes (ACs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for their ability to make scaffold-free cartilage discs.

Synovial Cell Cross-talk with Cartilage Plays a Major Role in the Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis

Project description:We elucidated the molecular cross-talk between knee articular cartilage and paired synovium in n=3 individuals with knee osteoarthritis using the powerful tool of single-cell RNA-sequencing. Multiple cell types were identified based on profiling of 10,640 synoviocytes and 26,192 chondrocytes (11,579 chondrocytes from the diseased medial vs 14,613 chondrocytes from the relatively non-diseased lateral tibial plateau): 12 distinct synovial cell types and 7 distinct articular chondrocyte phenotypes from matched tissues. Intact cartilage was enriched for homeostatic and hypertrophic chondrocytes, while damaged cartilage was enriched for prefibro- and fibro-, regulatory, reparative and prehypertrophic chondrocytes. A total of 61 cytokines and growth factors were predicted to regulate the 7 chondrocyte cell phenotypes. Based on production by >1% of cells, 55% of the cytokines were produced by synovial cells (39% exclusive to synoviocytes and not expressed by chondrocytes) and their presence in osteoarthritic synovial fluid confirmed. The synoviocytes producing IL-1beta (a classic pathogenic cytokine in osteoarthritis), mainly inflammatory macrophages and dendritic cells, were characterized by co-expression of surface proteins corresponding to HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQA2, OLR1 or TLR2. Strategies to deplete these pathogenic intra-articular cell subpopulations could be a therapeutic option for human osteoarthritis.
