Project description:Meniscus injuries are common and while surgical strategies have improved, there is a need for alternative therapeutics to improve long-term outcomes and prevent post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Current research efforts in regenerative therapies and tissue engineering are hindered by a lack of understanding of meniscus cell biology and a poorly defined meniscus cell phenotype. This study utilized bulk RNA-sequencing to identify unique and overlapping transcriptomic profiles in cartilage, inner and outer zone meniscus tissue, and passaged inner and outer zone meniscus cells. The greatest transcriptomic differences were identified when comparing meniscus tissue to monolayer cultured cells (> 4,600 differentially expressed genes (DEGs)) and meniscus tissue to cartilage (> 3,100 DEGs). While zonal differences exist within the meniscus tissue (205 DEGs between inner and outer zone meniscus tissue), meniscus resident cells are more similar to each other than to either cartilage or monolayer meniscus cells. Additionally, we identified and validated LUM and PRRX1 as potential markers for meniscus tissue and ACTA2, FSTL1, SFRP2, and TAGLN as novel markers for meniscus cell dedifferentiation. Our data contribute significantly to the current characterization of meniscus cells and provide an important foundation for future work in meniscus cell biology, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering.

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:Meniscus injuries are highly prevalent and are linked to the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). The inflammatory cytokine IL-1 is elevated in synovial fluid following knee injuries, causes degradation of meniscus tissue, and inhibits meniscus repair. Dynamic mechanical compression of meniscus tissue has been shown to improve integrative repair in the presence of IL-1; however, there remains a dearth of knowledge on global effects of loading on meniscus cell phenotype and transcriptomic profiles. In this study, we performed mRNA-Seq on meniscus tissue explants from inner and outer zone regions of porcine menisci subjected to dynamic compression in the presence and absence of IL-1 to identify cellular responses to mechanical load, identify differences in response to load based on zonal characteristics, and identify IL-1 induced inflammatory responses modulated by load.

Project description:Meniscus injuries are highly prevalent and are linked to the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). The inflammatory cytokine IL-1 is elevated in synovial fluid following knee injuries, causes degradation of meniscus tissue, and inhibits meniscus repair. Cyclic tensile stretch has been shown to modulate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and degradative enzymes induced by IL-1; however, there remains a dearth of knowledge on global effects of loading on meniscus cell phenotype and transcriptomic profiles. In this study, we performed mRNA-Seq on meniscus cells isolated from inner and outer zone regions of porcine menisci subjected to cyclic tensile strain in the presence and absence of IL-1 to identify cellular responses to mechanical load, identify differences in response to load based on zonal characteristics, and identify IL-1 induced inflammatory responses modulated by load.

Project description:Analysis of gene expression in E16 mouse meniscus, articular cartilage, and cruciate ligaments Limbs were dissected from E16 CD-1 mice. Samples were frozen in OCT and cryosectioned. Meniscus, articular carilage, and cruciate ligament were isolated using laser capture microdissection. Total RNA was isolated from these tissues, amplified, and gene expression was analyzed using microarrays. Three biological replicates were analyzed for each tissue type. Total RNA extracted from E16 mouse meniscus, articular cartilage, and cruciate ligaments

Project description:Discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) is more prone to injury than a normally shaped meniscus. Our previous study successfully identified the different cell types and their corresponding marker genes in meniscus tissues, but there was no study comparing the gene expression and cell heterogenicity of discoid meniscus with normal meniscus.

Project description:We identified seven clusters in healthy human meniscus, including five empirically-defined populations and two novel populations. Pseudotime analysis showed EC and FCP existed at the pseudospace trajectory start. MCAM (CD146) was highly expressed in two clusters. CD146+ meniscus cells differentiated into osteoblasts and adipocytes and formed colonies. We identified changes in the proportions of degenerated meniscus cell clusters and found a cluster specific to degenerative meniscus with progenitor cell characteristics. The reconstruction of four progenitor cell clusters indicated that FCP differentiation into DegP was an aberrant process. Interleukin-1β stimulation in healthy human meniscus cells decreased CD146+ cells and increased CD318+ cells, while TGFβ1 attenuated the increase in CD318+ cells in degenerated meniscus cells.

Project description:In this study, we have tested the variation in gene expression signatures in human injured meniscus with age and degree of chondrosis in the knee. We found several genes that were differentially regulated with each of these factors and they represent important biological pathways in osteoarthritis research. Total RNA obtained from isolated injured meniscus tissues from patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.

Project description:There is a need to clarify the role of the meniscus in knee OA which may be aided by the identification of biomarkers that reflect the molecular events involved in the tissue degradation. This is of particular importance in the early stages of the degenerative processes, a crucial phase when it might still be possible to interfere with disease progression before tearing and critical loss of meniscal function occurs. One way to achieve this goal is exploratory proteomics by mass spectrometry (MS), which has the potential to analyse the proteome of complex samples. Thus, our aim was to gain new knowledge about the molecular processes within the human meniscus by comparing the proteomic profiles of both the lateral and medial meniscus from healthy controls, subjects with mild signs of joint degeneration, and patients with end-stage knee OA, using a non-targeted MS approach operating in data-independent acquisition (DIA) mode. For the research purpose six groups were established: medial and lateral menisci from control donors (n=12), medial and lateral menisci from donors with mild signs of joint degeneration (n=13) and medial and lateral menisci from end-stage knee OA patients (n=12).
