Project description:Ectopic endochondral ossification in the tendon/ligament is caused by repetitive mechanical overload or inflammation. Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) contribute to tissue repair and lubrication by producing proteoglycan 4 (Prg4). However, the mechanisms of ectopic ossification and association of TSPCs are not yet known. Here, we investigated the characteristics of Prg4-positive (+) cells and identified that R-spondin 2 (RSPO2), a WNT activator, is specifically expressed in a distinct Prg4+ TSPC cluster. The Rspo2+ cluster was characterized as mostly undifferentiated, and RSPO2 overexpression suppressed ectopic ossification in a mouse Achilles tendon puncture model via chondrogenic differentiation suppression. RSPO2 expression levels in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament were lower than those in spondylosis patients, and RSPO2 protein suppressed chondrogenic differentiation of human ligament cells. RSPO2 was induced by inflammatory stimulation and mechanical loading via nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). Rspo2+ cells may contribute to tendon/ligament homeostasis by suppressing chondrogenic differentiation.

Project description:Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the spine is characterized by progressive ectopic bone formation in the spinal ligament. To identify the genes related to ectopic ossification of human spinal ligament affected by mechanical stress, analyses using cDNA microarray were carried out using cultured human spinal ligament cells that had been subjected to uniaxial cyclic stretching. cDNA microarrays revealed that ranges of distribution of both up- and down-regulated genes evoked by cyclic stretching were significantly wider in cells from than in non-OPLL cells. Keywords: mechanical-stress response

Project description:Degenerative spinal stenosis is a chronic disease that affects the spinal ligaments and associated bones, resulting in back pain and disorders of the limbs among the elderly population. There are few preventive strategies for such ligament degeneration. We here aimed to establish a comprehensive transcriptomic atlas of ligament tissues to identify high-priority targets for pharmaceutical treatment of ligament degeneration. Here, single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on six degenerative ligaments and three traumatic ligaments to understand tissue heterogeneity.

Project description:This study describes the discovery of the gene responsible for differentiation of stem cells into ligament tissue. This important finding may lead to the development of treatments for gonarthrosis, rupture of the cruciate ligament and periodontal ligament, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. This study describes the discovery of the gene (A) responsible for differentiation of stem cells into ligament tissue. The transfection of this gene into mouse mesenchymal stem cells resulted in the formation of ligament-like connective tissue composed of parallel fibres. We performed microarray analysis of four samples: stem cells (sample1), ligament-like tissue from stem cells transfected with A (sample 4), ligament tissue from A-transgenic mice (sample 2) , and ligament tissue from wild type mice (sample 3).

Project description:Chondrocyte differentiation is regulated at a transcriptional level and by various hormonal stimuli. Since chondrocyte differentiation is important for normal skeletal growth, inadequate amounts of differentiation can lead to pathological conditions such as osteoarthritis. Transcriptional regulation can be tightly orchestrated by epigenetic regulators. Among these, ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1 (Uhrf1) is reported to have diverse epigenetic functions, including regulation of DNA methylation. However, the physiological functions of Uhrf1 in skeletal tissues remain unclear. Here we show that limb mesenchymal cell-specific Uhrf1 conditional knockout mice (Uhrf1ΔLimb/ΔLimb) exhibit shortened long bones that have morphological deformities due to impaired chondrocyte differentiation and proliferation. RNA-seq performed on primary cultured chondrocytes obtained from control and Uhrf1ΔLimb/ΔLimb mice revealed that expression levels of proliferative chondrocyte marker genes were downregulated, whereas hypertrophic chondrocyte marker genes were upregulated. In addition, gene ontology analyses and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) suggested that limb growth retardation due to compromised chondrocyte differentiation might be caused by increased activity of the focal adhesion signaling pathway. These results indicated that Uhrf1 has a crucial role in normal skeletal maturation by coordinating transcriptional regulatory networks during chondrocyte differentiation.

Project description:Primary micromass cultures derived from 11.5 day old mouse embryo limb buds were cultured for 15 days in differentiating conditions (beta-glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid). Total RNA from differentiating chondrocytes was isolated every three days i.e. days 3,6,9,12 and 15 and hybridized to MOE430A chips. Objective: Gain a view of the temporal gene expression changes occuring during chondrocyte differentiation.
