Project description:Purpose: RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analyses of articular cartilage obtained after DMM surgery in Oscar-/- and WT mice. The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate how the deficiency of Oscar gene affects downstream signal transduction in articular cartilage. Methods: Articular cartilage mRNA profiles of 10-weeks-old wild-type (WT) and Oscar knockout (Oscar−/−) mice were performed for the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) and each cartilage tissue sample was harvested from two time-points (2- and 4-weeks after surgery). Sequencing libraries were prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions (TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit; Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Paired-end sequencing of 101-mer read length was performed using a HISEQ 2500 sequencing system (Illumina). The sequencing quality of raw FASTQ files was assessed using FastQC (https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/). Low-quality reads and adapter sequences in reads were eliminated using BBDuk (http://jgi.doe.gov/data-and-tools/bb-tools/). Results: Usinig RNA-Seq data in articular cartilage tissues from WT and Oscar–/– mice subjected to sham or DMM surgery and each cartilage sample obtained from 2- and 4-week time points after surgery, respectively. And we found that significantly enriched pathways in the 1270 common genes. Conclusions: Our study represents the Oscar gene deficiency analysis of articular cartilage transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA content within a cell or tissue. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.

Project description:Using a conditional inactivation approach in the mouse, we examined the importance of SOX9 in adult growth plate and articular cartilage. We specifically investigated the roles of SOX9 in the expression of the pancartilaginous, growth-plate and articular programs and in maintaining the chondrocyte lineage fate.

Project description:Osteoarthritis is a common joint disorder that causes debilitating conditions among the elderly. Risk factors of osteoarthritis include age, which is often associated with the thinning of articular cartilage. We generated conditional knockout mice that lack salt-inducible kinase 3 (Sik3) specifically in chondrocytes after birth by tamoxifen administration. Deletion of Sik3 at 2 or 8 weeks after birth increased the thickness of articular cartilage by increasing the chondrocyte population. Additionally, Sik3 deletion protected cartilage against osteoarthritis development. We identified the edible Pteridium aquilinum ingredient, pterosin B, as a compound that inhibits the Sik3 pathway. Intraarticular injection of pterosin B protected cartilage against osteoarthritis development. Sik3 deletion or pterosin B treatment inhibited activation of the hypertrophic program through the histone deacetylase 4 (Hdac4) pathway, increased Prg4 expression in chondrocytes, and protected cartilage against osteoarthritic attack. Collectively, our results suggest Sik3 is a regulator that regulates homeostasis of articular cartilage thickness and a target for treatment of osteoarthritis, and that pterosin B can be the lead compound for relevant drugs.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.
