Project description:To date, all of the prior osteoarthritic microarray studies in human tissue have focused on the overlying articular cartilage, meniscus, or synovium but not the underlying subchondral bone. In our previous study, our group developed a methodology for high quality RNA isolation from site-matched cartilage and bone from human knee joints, which allowed us to perform candidate gene expression analysis on the subchohndral bone (published on Osteoarthritis and Cartilage on Dec/5/2012 (doi: 10.1016/j.joca.2012.11.016). To the best of our knowledge, the current study is the first to successfully perform whole-genome microarray profiling analyses of human osteoarthritic subchondral bone. We believe our comprehensive microarray results can improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and could further contribute to the development of new biomarker and therapeutic strategies in osteoarthritis. Following histological assessment of the integrity of overlying cartilage and the severity of bone abnormality by microcomputed tomography, we isolated total RNA from regions of interest from human OA (n=20) and non-OA (n=5) knee lateral and medial tibial plateaus (LT and MT). A whole-genome profiling study was performed on an Agilent microarray platform and analyzed using Agilent GeneSpring GX11.5. Confirmatory quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis was performed on samples from nine OA individuals to confirm differential expression of 85 genes identified by microarray. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used to investigate canonical pathways and immunohistochemical staining was performed to validate protein expression levels in samples.

Project description:Cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis (OA) results from disturbed chondrocyte metabolism. Here, we used microarrays to show that TGF alpha and CCL2 are simultaneously upregulated in a rat model of OA and cooperate to drive cartilage degradation. The goals of the experiments included here were to a) characterize gene expression in knee joint articular chondrocytes at various stages of development of OA (2 and 8 weeks after surgical induction of OA), and b) to establish trends in gene expression among groups of genes related to the TGF alpha-EGFR axis, over time, in OA. The model chosen to study these results has been previously validated (Appleton, CT et al, 2007, Arthritis Rheum) and used to describe similar gene expression results at a different time point (4 weeks) after induction of OA. The rat model of OA involves surgical destabilization of the knee joint, followed by forced low-intensity mobilization over several weeks; a sham surgery is used as the control (representing a healthy non-OA knee joint) wherein a surgical incision is made but not structural (i.e. ligamentous) modification is made to the joint. Altogether, our data indicate that TGF and CCL2 cooperate to drive cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis. A total of 12 samples were analyzed. 3 replicates were used per condition: OA surgery at 2 weeks, OA surgery at 8 weeks, Sham (control) surgery at 2 weeks and Sham surgery at 8 weeks. Expression of OA samples was assessed relaitve to Sham (control) expression levels.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease that leads to joint failure with pain and disability. Gene regulations are implicated in driving an imbalance between the expression of catabolic and anabolic factors, leading eventually to osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration. The different stages of disease progression are described by the complex pattern of transcriptional regulations. The dynamics in pattern alterations were monitored in each individual animal during the time-course of OA progression.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease and this is a major cause of joint pain and disability in the aging population. Its etiology is multifactorial (i.e., age, obesity, joint injury, genetic predisposition), and the pathophysiologic process affects the entirety of the joint (Martel-Pelletier J et al. Osteoarthritis. Nature reviews Disease primers. 2016;2:16072). Although it is not yet clear if it precedes or occurs subsequently to cartilage damage, subchondral bone sclerosis is an important feature in OA pathophysiology (Goldring SR et al. Changes in the osteochondral unit during osteoarthritis: structure, function and cartilage-bone crosstalk. Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2016;12:632-44). It is characterized by local bone resorption and the accumulation of weakly mineralized osteoid substance (Bailey AJ et al. Phenotypic expression of osteoblast collagen in osteoarthritic bone: production of type I homotrimer. Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2002;34:176-82). Subchondral bone sclerosis is suspected to be linked to cartilage degradation, not only by modifying the mechanical stresses transmitted to the cartilage, but also by releasing biochemical factors with an activity on cartilage metabolism (Sanchez C et al. Osteoblasts from the sclerotic subchondral bone downregulate aggrecan but upregulate metalloproteinases expression by chondrocytes. This effect is mimicked by interleukin-6, -1beta and oncostatin M pre-treated non-sclerotic osteoblasts. Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2005;13:979-87; Sanchez C et al. Subchondral bone osteoblasts induce phenotypic changes in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes. Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2005;13:988-97; Westacott CI et al J. Alteration of cartilage metabolism by cells from osteoarthritic bone. Arthritis Rheum. 1997;40:1282-91. We have previously demonstrated that osteoblasts isolated from subchondral OA bone exhibited an altered phenotype. More precisely, we showed that osteoblasts coming from the thickening (called sclerotic, SC) of subchondral bone located just below a cartilage lesion produced higher levels of alkaline phosphatase, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, prostaglandinE2, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1 and type I collagen than osteoblasts coming from the non-thickening neighboring area (called non-sclerotic area, NSC) (Sanchez C et al. Phenotypic characterization of osteoblasts from the sclerotic zones of osteoarthritic subchondral bone. Arthritis Rheum. 2008;58:442-55; Sanchez C et al. Regulation of subchondral bone osteoblast metabolism by cyclic compression. Arthritis Rheum. 2012;64:1193-203.) To compare secretome of cells living in different in vivo conditions is useful, not only to better understand the pathological mechanisms underlying changes in OA subchondral bone, but also to identify soluble biomarkers potentially reflecting these changes. Using our well-characterised human subchondral osteoblast culture model, we compared the secretome of osteoblasts coming from sclerotic and non sclerotic OA subchondral bone. This approach allowed to identify changes in secretome that contribute to explain some subchondral bone abnormalities in OA and to propose osteomodulin and fibulin-3 as potential biomarkers of OA subchondral bone remodelling.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative joint disorder characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, and alterations in subchondral bone, ultimately leading to chronic pain and impaired mobility. This study aimed to identify plasma proteomic alterations in OA patients before and after arthroplasty in order to reveal biomarkers associated with both ongoing disease processes and postoperative recovery.
The study cohort consisted of eighteen individuals: eight OA patients undergoing total knee or hip arthroplasty and ten healthy controls matched for age, sex, and body mass index. Plasma samples were depleted of high-abundance proteins, enzymatically digested, and subsequently analyzed using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to characterize proteomic changes.

Project description:Aging or injury to the joints can lead to cartilage degeneration osteoarthritis (OA), for which there are limited effective treatments. We found that expression of the gerozyme 15-Prostaglandin Dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) was increased in the articular cartilage of aged or injured mice. Both systemic and local inhibition of 15-PGDH with a small molecule inhibitor (PGDHi) led to regeneration of articular cartilage and reduction in OA-associated pain. We used single cell RNA-sequencing and multiplexed immunofluorescence imaging of cartilage), to identify the major chondrocyte subpopulationsInhibition of 15-PGDH decreased hypertrophic-like chondrocytes expressing 15-PGDH and fibro-chondrocytes towards hyaline matrix-synthesizing articular chondrocytes. Regeneration of joint cartilage appears to occur through changes in pre-existing chondrocytes, not stem or progenitor cell proliferation.Gerozyme inhibition could be a potential identifying a disease-modifying and regenerative approach with potential utility for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Project description:Articular cartilage is deprived of blood vessels and nerves, and the only cells residing in this tissue are chondrocytes. The molecular properties of the articular cartilage and the architecture of the extracellular matrix demonstrate a complex structure that differentiates on the depth of tissue. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, affecting the whole joint. It is associated with ageing and affects the joints that have been continually stressed throughout life including the knees, hips, fingers, and lower spine region. OA is a multifactorial condition of joint characterised by articular cartilage loss, subchondral bone sclerosis, and inflammation leading to progressive joint degradation, structural alterations, loss of mobility and pain. Articular cartilage biology is well studied with a focus on musculoskeletal diseases and cartilage development. However, there are relatively few studies focusing on zonal changes in the cartilage during osteoarthritis.

Project description:Articular cartilage degeneration, which may lead to osteoarthritis (OA), is a normal component of the aging process, but its underlying mechanism remains unknown. We found that chondrocytes exhibited an energy metabolism shift from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) during aging. Reprogrammed cartilage metabolism by parkin ablation decreased OXPHOS and increased glycolysis, with ameliorated aging-related OA. Metabolomics analysis indicated that lauroyl-L-carnitine (LLC) was decreased in aged cartilage, but increased in parkin-deficient cartilage. In vitro, LLC improved the cartilage matrix synthesis of OA chondrocytes. In vivo, intraarticular injection of LLC in mice with anterior cruciate ligament transaction (ACLT) ameliorated OA. These results suggest that metabolic changes are regulated by parkin-impaired cartilage during aging, and targeting the metabolomic changes by supplementation with LLC is a promising treatment strategy for ameliorating OA.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious degenerative joint disease with high morbidity and is currently incurable because of its poorly defined underlying molecular basis. Here, we demonstrated that Tiki2, a membrane-tethered proteolytic Wnt inhibitor, is highly expressed in the articular chondrocytes of hyaline cartilage and that its expression negatively correlates with osteoarthritis. Tiki2 haploinsufficiency in mice causes spontaneous articular cartilage degeneration. Tiki2 deletion in chondrocytes accelerates instability-induced knee joint osteoarthritis progression in mice. Mechanistically, Tiki2 antagonizes Wnt signaling in chondrocytes and maintains chondrocyte anabolic gene expression. Moreover, intra-articular administration of a TIKI2-expressing adeno-associated virus significantly alleviated OA progression in mice, and expressing TIKI2 promoted chondrogenesis and chondrocyte redifferentiation and inhibited hypertrophic differentiation in vitro. Our results reveal the function of Tiki2 in articular cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis and suggest that Tiki2 is a potential target for osteoarthritis therapy.
