Project description:Cartilage tissue is comprised of extracellular matrix and chondrocytes, a cell type with very low cellular turnover in adults, providing limited capacity for regeneration. However, in development a significant number of chondrocytes actively proliferate and remodel the surrounding matrix. Uncoupling the microenvironmental influences that determine the balance between clonogenic potential and terminal differentiation of these cells is essential for the development of novel approaches for cartilage regeneration. Unfortunately, most of the existing methods are not applicable for the analysis of functional properties of chondrocytes at a single cell resolution. Here we demonstrate that a novel 3D culture method provides a long-term and permissive in vitro niche that selects for highly clonogenic, colony-forming chondrocytes which maintain cartilage-specific matrix production, thus recapitulating the in vivo niche. As a proof of concept, clonogenicity of Sox9IRES-EGFP mouse chondrocytes is almost exclusively found in the highest GFP+ fraction known to be enriched for chondrocyte progenitor cells. Although clonogenic chondrocytes are very rare in adult cartilage, we have optimized this system to support large, single cell-derived chondrogenic organoids with complex zonal architecture and robust chondrogenic phenotype from adult pig and human articular chondrocytes. Moreover, we have demonstrated that growth trajectory and matrix biosynthesis in these organoids respond to a pro-inflammatory environment. This culture method offers a robust, defined and controllable system that can be further used to interrogate the effects of various microenvironmental signals on chondrocytes, providing a high throughput platform to assess genetic and environmental factors in development and disease.

Project description:Atelocollagen gel is often used for three-dimensional culture of articular cartilage-derived cells, but further knowledge is needed about the effect of atelocollagen gel on cells. We performed a microarray analysis using human articular cartilage-derived cells cultured in three different methods (2D culture, 3D culture with atelocollagen gel, and 3D culture without atelocollagen gel).

Project description:An organoid culture system can better recapitulate the cellular structure, function, and interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) than the traditional two-dimensional (2D) culture system. We here constructed a condylar cartilage organoid and utilized it to explore the regulatory role of primary cilia at the organoid level. RNA sequencing unveiled the differences of transcriptomics between the condylar cartilage organoid and 2D culture chondrocytes.

Project description:To investigate the paracrine effects of stromal elements on cancer cells, we developed a “stromal” culture system, which incorporates structural and diffusible stroma-derived elements into homotypic cultures amenable to functional genomics and metabolomics. We show that microenvironmental cues co-regulate cancer metabolism and gene expression. Stromal inputs broadly influence histone acetylation in the cancer epigenome, coinciding with induction of genes implicated in anabolic metabolism and inflammation. The gene expression and metabolic changes induced by stromal factors overlap with those previously identified following oncogenic Kras, suggesting functional complementarity between cell-autonomous and microenvironmental pathways. We implicate the BET family of epigenetic readers as key transducers of stromal inputs to drive alterations in gene expression and suggest paracrine epigenome regulation as a conduit through which stromal signals drive metabolic and immune adaptation to a challenging tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Joint diseases are often characterized by inflammatory processes resulting in pathological changes in joint tissues, including cartilage degradation and release of components to the synovial fluid. The complement system plays a central role in promoting the inflammation. Since several cartilage proteins are known to interact with complement, causing either activation or inhibition of the system, we aimed to investigate these interactions comprehensively. Bovine cartilage explants were cultured with interleukin-1alpha (IL-1a) to induce cartilage degradation, followed by incubation with human serum to allow interactions with complement. Label-free selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mass spectrometry (MS) was then used to specifically quantify complement proteins interacting with the cartilage explant. In parallel, the time-dependent degradation of cartilage was detected using tandem MS (MS/MS). Complement proteins resulting from activation of the classical and alternative pathway as well as the terminal pathway were detected on IL-1a stimulated cartilage at time points when clear alterations in the extracellular matrix composition had occurred. To confirm SRM results indicating complement activation, increased levels of the complement activation product C4d were detected by ELISA in serum after incubation with IL-1a stimulated cartilage. Further, typical activated (cleaved) C3 fragments were detected by western blotting of urea extracts of IL-1a stimulated cartilage. No complement activation was triggered by cartilage cultured in the absence of IL-1a. Components released from IL-1a stimulated cartilage during culture had an inhibitory effect on complement activation. These were released after a longer incubation period with IL-1a and may represent a feedback reaction to cartilage-triggered complement activation observed after a shorter incubation period.
