Project description:A tissue survey of gene expression was conducted using microarray-based transcriptional profiling to compare equine articular cartilage to 10 other normal adult horse tissues. The ten comparative tissues were bladder, cerebellum, kidney, liver, lung, lymph node, muscle, placental villous, spleen, and testis. Messenger RNA transcriptome comparisons were conducted between equine articular cartilage and ten other body tissues using a 9413 element equine-specific cDNA microarray and a two-color dye-swap experimental design. After scanning, the median intensities adjusted for background were entire chip Lowess-normalized for each individual slide. Quantile regression was used to estimate the conditional quantile of the M and A log ratios given the observed average log intensity. Briefly, a nonparametric approach was used to reveal the relationship between percentiles of M and A, where M is log2 (R/G) and A is 0.5 log2 (RG) with R representing expression in articular cartilage and G representing expression in the comparative tissue. The quantile regression was fit using a B-spline with 5 fixed nodes. The 1st, 5th, 10th, 20th, 50th, 80th, 90th, 95th, and 99th conditional quantiles were estimated. For each observed gene intensity in a given tissue comparison, the normal quantile was used as the cartilage-specificity in place of the corresponding estimated regression quantile.

Project description:Horse-specific genes are not readily identified from available equine EST/cDNA resources due to relatively limited coverage. In addition, equine gene sets predicted in silico by Ensembl and NCBI will not identify horse specific genes since they rely on homology-based projection of gene structure annotation from other species. In this study, RNA-seq of 8 equine RNA samples representing 6 distinct tissues was performed and used to improve and refine equine gene structure annotation. The samples and RNA were collected as part of the related study E-GEOD-21925 and are described in Coleman et al 2010. Anim Genet 41 Suppl 2: 121-30 (PMID: 21070285). The RNA from these samples was re-sequenced in this experiment. The tissues were i). the articular cartilage and synovial membrane samples from a 3-year-old male pony. The left carpal joints received four LPS injections (0.5 ng) over 8 days, while the right carpal joints received control injections of PBS. ii) A cerebellum sample was collected from a 2-year-old female thoroughbred. iii) A testis sample from a 4-year-old thoroughbred. iv) A placental villous sample collected immediately post-partum from a full-term female thoroughbred foal. v) A whole embryo sample was obtained from a 34-day-old male thoroughbred conceptus. The embryo, cerebellum, testis and placental samples were of apparent normal gross morphology.

Project description:Full thickness articular cartilage lesions with penetration into the subchondral bone fill with fibrocartilage-like repair tissue. However, the repair tissue has compromised structural and biomechanical properties relative to normal articular cartilage. The objective of this study was to evaluate transcriptome differences between normal articular cartilage and repair tissue. Bilateral one-cm2 full-thickness lesions were made in the articular surface of the distal femurs of four adult horses followed by subchondral microfracture. Four months postoperatively, repair tissue from the lesion site and grossly normal articular cartilage from each stifle were collected. Total RNA was isolated from tissue samples, linearly amplified, and applied to a 9367-probeset equine-specific cDNA microarray. Eight paired comparisons matched by limb and horse were made with a dye-swap experimental design. Comparisons were validated by histological analysis and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Statistical analysis revealed 3,327 (35.2%) differentially expressed probesets. Biomarkers typically associated with normal articular cartilage and fibrocartilage repair tissue corroborate earlier studies. Other changes in gene expression previously unassociated with cartilage repair were also revealed and validated by qPCR. The magnitude of divergence in transcriptional profiles between normal chondrocytes and the cells that populate repair tissue reveal substantial functional differences between these two cell populations. At the four-month postoperative time point, the relative deficiency within repair tissue of transcripts from genes which typically define articular cartilage indicate that while cells occupying the lesion might be of mesenchymal origin, they have not recapitulated differentiation to the chondrogenic phenotype of normal articular chondrocytes.

Project description:Chondrocyte gene expression was analyzed to study mechanisms involved in the structural and functional adaptation of articular cartilage during postnatal maturation. Transcriptional profiling was used to compare articular chondrocytes between four neonatal and four adult horses. Expressional differences featured matrix proteins and matrix-modifying enzymes reflecting the transition from cartilage growth to cartilage homeostasis.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage loss, bone remodeling, synovial inflammation, and significant joint pain, often resulting in disability. Injury to the synovial joint such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the major cause of OA in young adults. Currently, there are no approved therapies available to prevent joint degeneration or rebuild articular cartilage destroyed by OA, primarily because our understanding of the cellular and molecular changes that contribute to joint damage is very limited. The synovial joint is a complex structure composed of several tissues including articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovium, synovial fluid, and tensile tissues including tendons and ligaments. In the present study, using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we examined the cellular heterogeneity in articular cartilage from mouse knee joints and determined the knee joint injury-induced early molecular changes in the chondrocytes that could contribute to OA.

Project description:Monolayer cultures of primary chondrocytes undergo morphological changes that have been broadly characterized as de-differentiation. Transcriptional profiling was used to evaluate changes in gene expression during this process. Articular cartilage was harvested from a single Standardbred horse; the chondrocytes were isolated and then maintained in monolayer culture for up to 14 days. Chondrocytes were collected on Day 1 and Day 14 of culture and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was isolated, subjected to one round of linear RNA amplification, and then applied to an equine-specific cDNA microarray composed of 9322 elements. Three biological replicates were analyzed at each time point using a dye-swap experimental design. One hundred six transcripts were present at levels greater than or equal to five-fold higher in Day 1 chondrocytes relative to the cells collected at Day 14. Conversely, 68 transcripts were present at levels greater than or equal to five-fold higher in Day 14 chondrocytes. Northern blot hybridization validated the microarray data by confirming the down-regulation of steady state mRNA levels for type II procollagen and aggrecan core protein and the up-regulation of type I procollagen. Gene-by-gene and cluster analyses will be used to compare the process of “de-differentiation” in primary culture to the developmental stages of normal chondrocyte differentiation and to the fibrocartilage repair tissue that forms in osteoarthritic lesions. Keywords: articular cartilage, de-differentiation, horse, cDNA microarray This is a direct comparison between one and fourteen day cultured chondrocyte transcriptomes. Three sets of technical replicates were compared. For each comparison and its dye-swap, one Day 1 technical replicate was randomly compared to one Day 14 technical replicate.
