Project description:As the unique cell type in articular cartilage, chondrocyte senescence is a crucial cellular event contributing to osteoarthritis development. Here we show that clathrin-mediated endocytosis and activation of Notch signaling promotes chondrocyte senescence and osteoarthritis development, which is negatively regulated by myosin light chain 3. Myosin light chain 3 (MYL3) protein levels decline sharply in senescent chondrocytes of cartilages from model mice and osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Conditional deletion of Myl3 in chondrocytes significantly promoted, whereas intra-articular injection of adeno-associated virus overexpressing MYL3 delayed, OA progression in male mice. MYL3 deficiency led to enhanced clathrin-mediated endocytosis by promoting the interaction between myosin VI and clathrin, further inducing the internalization of Notch and resulting in activation of Notch signaling in chondrocytes. Pharmacologic blockade of clathrin-mediated endocytosis-Notch signaling prevented MYL3 loss-induced chondrocyte senescence and alleviated OA progression in mice. Our results establish a previously unknown mechanism essential for cellular senescence and provide a potential therapeutic direction for OA.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that involves destruction of articular cartilage and eventually leads to disability. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reside in healthy and diseased cartilage, and through their chondrogenic potential may provide a strategy for cartilage repair. To this end, we performed an image-based, high throughput screen and identified the small molecule, kartogenin, that promotes selective MSC differentiation into chondrocytes (EC50=100nM), shows chondroprotective effects in vitro, and is efficacious in two OA animal models. Kartogenin binds filamin A and induces chondrogenesis by regulating the CBFbeta-RUNX1 transcriptional program. This work provides new insights into the control of chondrogenesis that may ultimately lead to an effective stem-cell based therapy for osteoarthritis. one compound, three doses, two time points, a vehicle control

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:The severity of osteoarthritis (OA) and cartilage degeneration are highly correlated with the development of synovitis, which is mediated by the activity of inflammatory macrophages. A better understanding of intercellular communication between inflammatory macrophages and chondrocytes should aid in the discovery of novel therapeutic targets. Here, we explored the pathological role of inflammatory macrophage-extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cartilage degeneration. Macrophages were stimulated by treatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharides to mimic the state of inflammatory macrophages and the resulting EVs (M-LPS EVs) were harvested for chondrocyte stimulation and intraarticular injection in a mouse model. This stimulation resulted in increased catabolism of chondrocytes and cartilage degeneration. Consistently, RNA-seq analyses of stimulated chondrocytes indicated that upregulated genes are mainly categorized into apoptotic process and TNF-signaling pathway which suggests the induction of apoptotic process. These chondrocytes exhibited a significant elevation in the expression of pyroptosis-related molecules that were correlated with the expression of chondrocyte catabolic factors. The disruption of caspase-11 significantly alleviated pyroptotic and catabolic processes in stimulated chondrocytes and the pathological changes in collagenase-induced OA model. Our results provide a new insight into the pathological mechanisms of OA and suggest that non-canonical pyroptosis signaling in chondrocytes represents an attractive therapeutic target for future treatment.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease and is the leading cause of chronic disability among older people. Chondrocyte death was involved in OA pathogenesis. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death associated with peroxidation of lipids. Expression of GPX4 in the OA cartilage from OA patients were significantly lower than normal cartilage.In order to analyze the mechanism of GPX4, we conducted RNA-sequencing in mouse chondrocytes with or without GPX4 knockdown.Our results showed that Gpx4 downregulation could increase the sensitivity of chondrocytes to oxidative stress and aggravate ECM degradation in chondrocytes.

Project description:Objectives: Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cartilage degeneration and regeneration is helpful for improving therapeutic strategies for treating osteoarthritis (OA). We report transcripts and pathways differentially expressed in chondrocytes obtained from genotypically and phenotypically distinct mouse strains. Methods: We performed RNA-sequencing and computational analysis on chondrocytes derived from LG/J (large, healer, n=16) and SM/J (small, non-healer, n=16) mouse strains. We validated the expression of candidate genes using real-time PCR and immunostaining. Results: Of those nearly 6,000 differentially expressed genes between LG/J and SM/J, 138 genes (99 protein-coding) were up-regulated and 145 (103 protein-coding) were down-regulated with log2 fold changes of 2 or more. Interestingly, we found the top up-regulated gene ontology biological pathways in the chondrocytes from the LG/J mice were related to chondrocyte development, cartilage condensation, and regulation of chondrocyte differentiation. In contrast, the top upregulated pathways in the SM/J mice were mostly inflammation related. Real-time PCR confirmed the expression pattern of a number of differentially expressed genes. Immunostaining of two candidate genes revealed that Tnfrsf23 and Car2 were respectively increased in LG/J and SM/J strains. Conclusions: The enrichment of genes and pathways related chondrocyte differentiation, cartilage development and cartilage condensation in LG/J appear to be responsible for their superior healing potential. The enrichment of pathways related to cytokine production, immune cell activation and inflammation in SM/J suggests a compromised chondrocyte proliferation and/or survival ability and a higher sensitivity to inflammation and OA. Tnfrsf23 and Car2 warrant further investigation to discern their specific role(s) in chondrocyte function and OA.

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.
