Transcription profiling of hind limbs from annexin A5 and A6 knock-out mice


ABSTRACT: Initiation of mineralisation during endochondral ossification is a multistep process and was assumed to correlate with specific interactions of annexins and collagens. Annexins A5 and A6 are postulated to represent the essential annexins promoting cartilage mineralisation. However, skeletal development appears to be normal in annexin A5 or A6 deficient mice. The highly conserved structures of annexins led to the assumption that annexins A5 and A6 may fulfill redundant functions. We now generated mice deficient for both proteins, annexins A5 and A6. Mice were viable, fertile and showed no obvious abnormalities. Assessment of skeletal elements using histological, ultrastructural and peripheral quantitative computed tomography methods revealed that mineralisation and development of the skeleton was not significantly affected in mutant mice. In respect of the lack of an obvious phenotype we now applied microarray analysis to the growth plate to define changes in the transcriptome of juvenile murine growth plates from mutant mice. Global gene expression analysis revealed subtle phenotypes at the transcriptome level of genes involved in cell growth and intermediate metabolism in mutant mice. These data demonstrate that both annexins are dispensable for proper cartilage mineralisation but may affect cell proliferation processes at the transcriptomic level.
