Project description:The aim of the current study was to identify molecular markers for articular cartilage that can be used for the quality control of tissue engineered cartilage. Therefore a genom-wide expression analysis was performed using RNA isolated from articular and growth plate cartilage, both extracted from the knee joints of minipigs. Keywords: Native material or primary cells isolated from articular cartilage and growth plate cartilage

Project description:Bones at different anatomical locations vary dramatically in size. The mechanisms responsible for these size differences are poorly understood. Bone elongation occurs at the growth plates and advances rapidly in early life but then progressively slows due to a developmental program termed growth plate senescence. This developmental program includes declines in cell proliferation and hypertrophy, depletion of cells in all growth plate zones, and extensive underlying changes in the expression of growth-regulating genes. Here we use RNA-Seq to compare changes of gene expression with age in the longer bone (tibia, 1- vs 4-wk) with the difference of gene expression between long and short bones (tibia vs phalanx) at 1wk. We found that the developmental program of growth plate senescence is more advanced in the shorter bone and this differential senescence (or aging) underlies the disparities in bone length.

Project description:The aim of the current study was to identify molecular markers for articular cartilage that can be used for the quality control of tissue engineered cartilage. Therefore a genom-wide expression analysis was performed using RNA isolated from articular and growth plate cartilage, both extracted from the knee joints of minipigs. Keywords: Native material or primary cells isolated from articular cartilage and growth plate cartilage Articular and growth plate cartilage were taken for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Furthermore chondrocytes from each type of cartilage were isolated and cell culture was started and terminated at day 10 or day 20. Total RNA from cultivated cells was extracted, and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays was performed.

Project description:Understanding the effects of biomechanical loading on human growth plate cartilage, which are unknown so far, could uncover diagnostic and therapeutic avenues. To address this, we used rare human growth plate biopsies obtained from children undergoing epiphysiodesis. These biopsies were exposed to a precisely controlled mechanical loading application using a microloading device. Subsequently, the biopsies were cultured for 24 hours post-mechanical loading, followed by RNA-sequencing analyses to decipher the molecular responses.

Project description:Kinase activity of cGMP-dependant, type II, protein kinase (PRKG2) is required for the proliferative to hypertrophic growth transition of growth plate chondrocytes during endochondral ossification. Loss of PRKG2 function in rodent and bovine models results in dwarfism. We compared growth plate cartilage gene expression profiles of PRKG2R678X/R678X, dwarf and PRKG2R678X/+, unaffected Angus cattle using microarray technology to discover pathways regulated by PRKG2. Calves used in this analysis were produced by the mating between a dwarf carrier sire and two dams- a mother (carrier) and daughter (dwarf) pair. Each dam produced three calves by embryo transfer, which were born in two calving groups. Growth plate cartilage was harvested from the tibia of each animal at approximately 215 days of age. Total RNA was extracted by a modified Trizol protocol. The bovine cDNA microarray (GEO Accession: GPL8813) was used for this analysis. Samples were labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 and hybridized by dye swapping the dwarf (4 dwarf animals- 2 per dam/calving group) and unaffected individuals (2 unaffected animals- 1 per dam/ calving group) such that each dwarf was compared to the unaffected full-sib produced in the same calving group. Each cDNA array was analyzed at three different PMT levels (PMT70,80 and 90), resulting in 12 total image files for statistical analysis.

Project description:Ollier disease is a rare, non-hereditary disorder which is characterized by the presence of multiple enchondromas (EC), benign cartilaginous neoplasms arising within the medulla of the bone, with an asymmetric distribution. The risk of malignant transformation towards central chondrosarcoma (CS) is increased up to 35%. The etiology of Ollier disease is unknown. We therefore undertook genome-wide expression profiling using Illumina Beadarray v3.0 for 7 enchondromas of 6 patients and compared them with controls in order to find differentially expressed genes in these benign tumors. The goal of this study was to find differentially expressed genes between enchondromas, a benign cartilage forming tumor occuring in the metaphyses of bone, and controls. We have used samples of normal growth plate and articular cartilage as the controls. Seven enchondromas were compared to two growth plate and four cartilage samples.

Project description:Cartilage originates from mesenchymal cell condensations that differentiate into chondrocytes of transient growth plate cartilage or permanent cartilage of the articular joint surface and trachea. MicroRNAs fine-tune the activation of entire signaling networks and thereby modulate complex cellular responses, but so far only limited data are available on miRNAs that regulate cartilage development. Here we characterize an miRNA which promotes the biosynthesis of a key component in the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway in cartilage. Specifically, by transcriptome profiling we identified miR-322 to be upregulated during chondrocyte differentiation. Among the various miR-322 target genes in the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, only Mek1 was identified as a regulated target in chondrocytes. Surprisingly, an increased concentration of miR-322 stabilizes Mek1-mRNA to arise protein levels and dampen ERK1/2 phosphorylation, while cartilage-specific inactivation in mice linked the loss of miR-322 to decreased MEK1 levels and increased RAF/MEK/ERK pathway activation. Such mice died perinatally due to tracheal growth restriction and respiratory failure. Hence, a single miRNA can stimulate the production of an inhibitory component of a central signaling pathway to impair cartilage development.

Project description:Affymetrix Chicken Gene 1.0 ST Array (ChiGene-1_1-st) profiles were generated from growth plate cartilage derived from the distal femur and proximal tibia of embryonic chickens at three developmental stages (day 12, 13 and 15) corresponding to stages prior to and immediately after the acqusition of mechano-responsive cartilage growth in the femur but not tibia (which does not respond to mechanical stimuli until later stages). Additionally, array profiles were generated from growth plate cartilage from the distal femur and proximal tibia of E15 chicks which were pharmacologically immobilized by decamethonium bromide treatment, which reduces longitudinal growth of the femur only at this stage.

Project description:Stimulatory heterotrimeric G protein (Gs) transduces signals from various cell-surface receptors to adenylyl cyclases, which generate cAMP. The alpha subunit of Gs (Gsalpha) is encoded by GNAS (Gnas in mice), and heterozygous Gsalpha inactivating mutations lead to Albright hereditary osteodystrophy. The in vivo role of Gsalpha in skeletogenesis is largely unknown, because of early embryonic lethality of mice with disruption of Gnas exon 2 (Gnas(E2-/E2-)) and the absence of easily detectable phenotypes in growth plate chondrocytes of heterozygous mutant mice (Gnas(+/E2-)). We generated chimeric mice containing wild-type cells and either Gnas(E2-/E2-) or Gnas(+/E2-) cells. Gnas(E2-/E2-) chondrocytes phenocopied PTH/PTHrP receptor (PPR)(-/-) cells by prematurely undergoing hypertrophy. Introduction of a transgene expressing Gsalpha, one of several gene products that include Gnas exon 2, into Gnas(E2-/E2-) cells prevented premature hypertrophy. Gsalpha mRNA expression detected by real-time RT-PCR analysis was reduced to approximately half that of the wild-type in both paternal and maternal Gnas(+/E2-) growth plate chondrocytes, indicating biallelic expression of Gsalpha in these cells. Hypertrophy of Gnas(+/E2-) chondrocytes was modestly but significantly premature in chimeric growth plates of mice containing wild-type and Gnas(+/E2-) cells. These data suggest that Gsalpha is the primary mediator of the actions of PPR in growth plate chondrocytes and that there is haploinsufficiency of Gsalpha signaling in Gnas(+/E2-) chondrocytes.
