Project description:To identify DOT1L targets, associated signaling pathways and networks in chondrocytes, we used genome-wide gene expression microarray analysis in human articular chondrocytes of 5 different donors (without known or documented joint disease) treated with EPZ-5676 or vehicle for 4 days. It is known that DOT1L inhibitors require longer time of treatment in order to show effect and influence the expression of MLL target genes in leukemia cells, but we opted for this relatively short inhibition time to be able to identify early changes induced by DOT1L inhibition. Human articular chondrocytes were obtained from 5 non-OA hip fracture patients. The cells were treated with 3 μM EPZ-5676 or vehicle (DMSO) for 4 days.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide. It is a complex disease affecting the whole joint but is generally characterized by progressive degradation of articular cartilage. Recent genome-wide association screens have implicated distinct DNA methylation signatures in OA patients. We show that the de novo DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt) 3b, but not Dnmt3a, is present in healthy murine and human articular chondrocytes and expression decreases in OA mouse models and in chondrocytes from human OA patients. Targeted deletion of Dnmt3b in murine articular chondrocytes results in an early onset and progressive post-natal OA-like pathology. RNA-seq and MethylC-seq analyses of Dnmt3b loss-of-function chondrocytes shows that cellular metabolic processes are affected. Specifically, TCA metabolites and mitochondrial respiration are elevated. Importantly, a chondroprotective effect was found following Dnmt3b gain-of-function in murine articular chondrocytes in vitro and in vivo. This study shows that Dnmt3b plays a significant role in regulating post-natal articular cartilage homeostasis. Cellular pathways regulated by Dnmt3b in chondrocytes may provide novel targets for therapeutic approaches to treat OA.

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterise the genome-wide DNA methylation profile of osteoathritis (OA) chondrocytes from both knee and hip cartilage, providing the first comparison of DNA methylation between OA and non-OA hip cartilage, and between OA hip and OA knee cartilage. The study was performed using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array. Genome-wide methylation was assesed in chondrocyte DNA extracted from 23 OA hip, 73 OA knee and 21 healthy hip controls (NOF - neck of femure samples). Keywords: Methylation profiling by array

Project description:Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the significant risk factors for hip osteoarthritis. In order to investigate the factors that induce early articular cartilage degeneration of the hip joints that are exposed to reduced dynamic loads arising from hip dislocation , we created rodent models of hip dislocation by swaddling. Notably, expression of periostin (Postn) was increased in the acetabular articular cartilage of the DDH models; Postn was a candidate gene associated with early articular cartilage degeneration. We showed that early articular cartilage degeneration was suppressed in Postn-/- DDH mice. Furthermore, a microgravity environment induced the expression of Postn in chondrocytes through STAT3 signaling. Postn induced catabolic factors, interleukin-6 and matrix metalloproteinase 3, in articular chondrocytes through integrin-nuclear factor κB signaling. Additionally, interleukin-6 stimulated Postn expression through STAT3 signaling. Thus, Postn plays a critical role in early articular cartilage degeneration associated with hip dislocation.

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:To reveal the organisation of the cartilage cell chondrocyte genome and identify changes that occur within this organisation during development and due to osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Assay for Transposase -Accessible Chromatin using Sequencing (ATAC-seq) was performed on chondrocytes isolated from 16 patients undergoing total hip replacement because of OA (n=7) or due to a neck of femur fracture (NOF, n=9). ATAC-seq was similarly performed on bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) and differentiated chondrocytes of two donors. DNA sequence reads (av. 50 million/sample) were aligned to human genome Hg38. Peaks were called using MACS2 and differential accessibility identified by DiffBind. Interexperiment comparisons and intersection with published gene expression changes, chondrogenesis ChIP-seq, knee ATAC-seq and human tissue scATAC-seq were performed in Galaxy and R. OA GWAS signal regions were overlapped with our defined chondrocyte ATAC-seq peaks. Results In BM-MSC and derived chondrocytes we mapped 138005 open chromatin regions, of which 20979 and 50699 significantly increased and decreased respectively during cell differentiation. In hip chondrocytes we identified 115295 open chromatin regions, 1383 and 573 were more or less differentially accessible respectively when comparing OA with NOF samples. In both data sets ‘newly accessible regions were enriched at enhancer regions (defined by ChIP-seq). Comparing the data with the ATAC-seq from the single cell ATLAS we identified 11866 open regions exclusive to chondrocytes. Genes associated with these regions were significantly enriched for cartilage-related gene ontology terms. Taking the 420 OA GWAS signals present in the GWAS catalogue, 313 of the OA regions (defined as lead SNP + proxy SNPs with r2 ≥ 0.8) overlapped with a chondrocyte ATAC-seq region. Conclusions Here we have mapped chromatin accessible region changes during chondrogenesis, showing that newly accessible regions are enriched at enhancer regions and positively correlate with gene expression. Open chromatin region changes between OA and NOF cartilage were fewer, and peak differences were subtle. Overall, we have associated OA GWAS loci with accessible regions and defined regions of the genome specific to cartilage and chondrogenesis.

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).
