Optimization of chondrocyte isolation from human articular cartilage to preserve the chondrocyte transcriptome [run54]

ABSTRACT: The isolation of chondrocytes from human articular cartilage for single-cell RNA sequencing requires extensive and prolonged tissue digestion at 37 °C. Modulations of the transcriptional activity likely take place during this period such that the transcriptomes of isolated human chondrocytes no longer match their original status in vivo. Here, we optimized the human chondrocyte isolation procedure to maximally preserve the in vivo transcriptome.

DNA methyltransferase 3b regulates articular cartilage homeostasis by altering chondrocyte metabolism

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.

Comparison between articular chondrocytes and mesenchymal stromal cells for the production of articular chondrocyte implants

Project description:Focal lesions of articular cartilage give rise to pain and reduced joint function and may, if left untreated, lead to osteoarthritis. Implantation of in vitro generated, scaffold-free autologous cartilage discs may represent the best treatment option. Here we compare articular chondrocytes (ACs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for their ability to make scaffold-free cartilage discs.

Involvement of ERK, Wnt and BMP2 signaling in human articular chondrocyte dedifferentiation in monolayer culture

Project description:Objective: When primary chondrocytes are cultured in monolayer, they undergo dedifferentiation during which they lose their phenotype and their capacity to form cartilage. Dedifferentiation is an obstacle for cell therapy for cartilage degeneration. In this study, we aimed to systemically evaluate the changes in gene expression during dedifferentiation of human articular chondrocytes to identify underlying mechanisms. Methods: RNA was isolated from monolayer-cultured primary human articular chondrocytes at serial passages. Gene expression was analyzed by microarray. Based on the microarray analysis, relevant genes and pathways were identified. Their functions in chondrocyte dedifferentiation were further investigated in detail. Results: In vitro expanded human chondrocytes showed progressive changes in gene expression during dedifferentiation. Strikingly, an overall decrease in total gene expression was detected. Genes in the Wnt and BMP pathways exhibited significant changes in expression. The non-canonical rather than the canonical Wnt pathway was found to be involved in the loss of collagen II synthesis. BMP2 was able to decelerate the dedifferentiation and reinforce the maintenance of chondrocyte phenotype in monolayer culture. DNA methylation was in part responsible for the expression downregulation of a set of genes. Conclusion: Our study revealed the roles of ERK, Wnt and BMP pathways as well as DNA methylation in chondrocyte dedifferentiation in monolayer culture. RNA human chondrocytes were allowed to dedifferentiate for 8 passages. RNA was isolated at week 0, 2 ,4, 6 and 8, which was subjected to whole genome gene expression analysis.

Identification of chondrocyte subsets during human development

Project description:Joint injury and osteoarthritis affect millions of people worldwide, but attempts to generate articular cartilage using adult stem/progenitor cells have been unsuccessful. We hypothesized that recapitulation of the human developmental chondrogenic program using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) may represent a superior approach for cartilage restoration. Using laser capture microdissection followed by microarray analysis, we first defined a surface phenotype (CD146low/negCD166low/negCD73+CD44lowBMPR1B+) distinguishing the earliest cartilage committed cells (pre-chondrocytes) at 5-6 weeks of development; pellet assays confirmed these cells as functional, chondrocyte-restricted progenitors. Flow cytometry, qPCR and immunohistochemistry at 17 weeks revealed that the superficial layer of peri-articular chondrocytes was enriched in cells with this surface phenotype. Isolation of cells with a similar immunophenotype from differentiating human PSCs revealed a population of CD166negBMPR1B+ putative pre-chondrocytes. Functional characterization confirmed these cells as cartilage-committed, chondrocyte progenitors. The identification of a specific molecular signature for primary cartilagecommitted progenitors may provide essential knowledge for the generation of purified, clinically relevant cartilage cells from PSCs. A total of 15 samples were analyzed. In the first comparison, there were 6 biological replicates for both the chondrogenic condensations and total limb cells. In the second comparison, three biological replicates of chondrocytes from the articular region were compared to the 6 replicates of the condensations.

Gene expression profiling of articular and growth plate cartilages

Project description:To identify genes that maintain the homeostasis of the articular cartilage, we compared gene expression profiles of adult articular cartilage chondrocytes with that of growth plate cartilage chondrocytes in adult (10-week-old) Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Furthermore, to identify genes that have a potency to regenerate the articular cartilage, we compared gene expression profiles of superficial layer chondrocytes of infant epiphyseal cartilage which form articular cartilage with that of the deep layer chondrocytes which form growth plate cartilage in infant (6-day-old) SD rats.
