Project description:The aim of this study was to compare gene expression between two pathological groups of human synovial fibroblasts (SF) from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) synovial tissues with normal SF from healthy individuals (HSF). We used microarray expression profiling in SF cultured from OA, RA and normal synovial tissues. We found larger numbers of transcripts with differential expression in OASF compared to the other groups than in RASF compared to HSF. This data demonstrate that cultured OASF display a more robust transcriptomic profile than RASF when compared to HSF. Synovial fibroblasts were obtained from 9 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RASF), 11 sex and age matched adult healthy donors (HSF) and 11 sex and age matched patients with OA (OASF). SF were collected under similar subconfluent conditions 24h after serum addition. 31 microarray data were used for determine the statistical significance (p value) of the differences in gene expression.

Project description:Inflammatory tissues are characterized by low oxigen concentrations (hypoxia). These conditions are very different from that usually present in tissue cultures where transcriptomic profiles of human fibroblasts from inflammatory tissues have been previously analysed. The aim of this study was to characterize the changes on gene expression induced by hypoxia in human synovial fibroblasts. We used microarray expression profiling in paired normoxic and hypoxic cultures of healthy and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fibroblasts (HSF and RASF). Hypoxia induces significant changes on the expression of large groups of genes in both HSF and RASF. The hypoxic and normoxic profiles are also different between both groups. These data demonstrate that hypoxia induces significant changes on gene expression in HSF and RASF and identify differences between RASF and HSF. Synovial fibroblasts obtained from 6 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RASF) and 6 sex and age matched adult healthy donors (HSF) were used. SF cultures were incubated for 22 hours under normoxic or hypoxic (0.5% O2) conditions. Nine experiments per group were performed, single experiments with three SF lines, and duplicated in other three lines per group. All 18 normoxia-hypoxia experiments (36 microarray data) were used for paired analysis of the changes induced by hypoxia in HSF or RASF.

Project description:Despite osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) being typically age-related, their underlying etiologies are markedly different. We used 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to identify differences in metabolite profiles in low volumes of OA and RA synovial fluid (SF). SF was aspirated from knee joints of 10 OA and 14 RA patients. 100 μL SF was analyzed using a 700 MHz Avance IIIHD Bruker NMR spectrometer with a TCI cryoprobe. Spectra were analyzed by Chenomx, Bruker TopSpin and AMIX software. Statistical analysis was undertaken using Metaboanalyst. 50 metabolites were annotated, including amino acids, saccharides, nucleotides and soluble lipids. Discriminant analysis identified group separation between OA and RA cohorts, with 32 metabolites significantly different between OA and RA SF (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05). Metabolites of glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle were lower in RA compared to OA; these results concur with higher levels of inflammation, synovial proliferation and hypoxia found in RA compared to OA. Elevated taurine in OA may indicate increased subchondral bone sclerosis. We demonstrate that quantifiable differences in metabolite abundance can be measured in low volumes of SF by 1H NMR spectroscopy, which may be clinically useful to aid diagnosis and improve understanding of disease pathogenesis.

Project description:Synovial fibroblasts in persistent inflammatory arthritis have been suggested to have parallels with cancer growth and wound healing, both of which involve a stereotypical serum response program. We tested the hypothesis that a serum response program can be used to classify diseased tissues, and investigated the serum response program in fibroblasts from multiple anatomical sites and two diseases. To test our hypothesis we utilized a bioinformatics approach to explore a publicly available microarray dataset including RA, OA and normal synovial tissue, then extended those findings in a new microarray dataset representing matched synovial, bone marrow and skin fibroblasts cultured from RA and OA patients undergoing arthroplasty. The classical fibroblast serum response program discretely classified RA, OA and normal synovial tissues. Analysis of low and high serum treated fibroblast microarray data revealed a hierarchy of control, with anatomical site the most powerful classifier followed by response to serum and then disease. In contrast to skin and bone marrow fibroblasts, exposure of synovial fibroblasts to serum led to convergence of RA and OA expression profiles. Pathway analysis revealed three inter-linked gene networks characterising OA synovial fibroblasts: Cell remodelling through insulin-like growth factors, differentiation and angiogenesis through β3 integrin, and regulation of apoptosis through CD44. We have demonstrated that Fibroblast serum response signatures define disease at the tissue level, and that an OA specific, serum dependent repression of genes involved in cell adhesion, extracellular matrix remodelling and apoptosis is a critical discriminator between cultured OA and RA synovial fibroblasts.

Project description:We have studied the expression profile of 3D cultured human chondrocytes that were stimulated with supernatant of synovial fibroblasts derived from a RA patient (RASF=HSE cell line) and from a normal donor (NDSF=K4IM cell line), respectively. For this purpose, passage 2 human chondrocytes were cultured for 14 days in alginate beads and subsequently stimulated for 48 hours with supernatant of RASF and NDSF. Baseline expression was determined of unstimulated chondrocytes. Differential genome-wide microarray analysis of RASF and NDSF stimulated chondrocytes disclosed a distinct expression profile related to cartilage destruction involving marker genes of inflammation (COX-2), NF-kappa B signaling pathway (TLR2), cytokines/chemokines and receptors (CXCL1-3, CCL20, CXCL8, CXCR4, IL-6, IL-1beta), matrix degradation (MMP-10, MMP-12) and suppressed matrix synthesis (COMP). Thus, transcriptome profiling of RASF and NDSF stimulated chondrocytes revealed a disturbed catabolic-anabolic homeostasis of chondrocyte function. This study provides a comprehensive insight into the molecular regulatory processes induced in human chondrocytes during RA-related cartilage destruction. Experiment Overall Design: To reveal the RA-related chondrocyte gene expression profile, genome-wide microarray analysis of RASF stimulated human chondrocytes compared to NDSF stimulation was performed. Unstimulated chondrocytes were analyzed for baseline gene expression. For microarray analysis of RASF and NDSF stimulated and unstimulated chondrocytes, respectively, two RNA pools were analyzed, each pool consisting of equal amounts of RNA from three different donors.

Project description:Various forms of chronic arthritis like osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are major causes of disability and represent a global burden on health care systems. Inter- and intraindividual differences in the phenotype of arthritis often prevent early diagnosis and effective treatment. Previously, we suggested that site-specific differences in the joint stroma influence the development and the outcome of arthritis and showed that the long non-coding RNA HOTAIR is expressed exclusively in synovial fibroblasts (SF) of lower joints. Here, we further analysed the function of HOTAIR in SF and in arthritis development. We show that joint-specific HOTAIR expression in SF is stronlgy imprinted in the chromatin landscape of SF by epigenetic mechanisms. Nevertheless, HOTAIR expression in knee SF was downregulated by inflammatory cytokines. Accordingly, HOTAIR was more expressed in OA tissues than in RA tissues. Downregulation of HOTAIR regulated relevant arthritis pathways by epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms and modified the migratory function of SF, decreased SF mediated osteoclastogenesis, and increased the attraction of B cells by SF. We propose that HOTAIR downregulation in inflammation epigenetically regulates important pathways and functions in SF, and thus modulates the phenotype of arthritis in lower extremity joints.
