Project description:The relationship between cartilage and synovium is a rapidly growing area of osteoarthritis research. However, to the best of our knowledge, the relationships in gene expression between these two tissues have not been explored in mid-stage disease development. The current study compared the transcriptomes of these two tissues in a large animal model one year following posttraumatic osteoarthritis induction and multiple surgical treatment modalities. Thirty-six Yucatan minipigs underwent transection of the anterior cruciate ligament. Subjects were randomized to no further intervention, ligament reconstruction, or ligament repair augmented with an extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold, followed by RNA sequencing of the articular cartilage and synovium at 52 weeks after harvest. Twelve intact contralateral knees served as controls. Across all treatment modalities, the primary difference in the transcriptomes was that the articular cartilage had greater upregulation of genes related to immune activation compared to the synovium-once baseline differences between cartilage and synovium were adjusted for. Oppositely, synovium featured greater upregulation of genes related to Wnt signaling compared to articular cartilage. After adjusting for expression differences between cartilage and synovium seen following ligament reconstruction, ligament repair with an ECM scaffold upregulated pathways related to ion homeostasis, tissue remodeling, and collagen catabolism in cartilage relative to synovium. These findings implicate inflammatory pathways within cartilage in the mid-stage development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis, independent of surgical treatment. Moreover, use of an ECM scaffold may exert a chondroprotective effect over gold-standard reconstruction through preferentially activating ion homeostatic and tissue remodeling pathways within cartilage.

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:The primary goal of this study is to investigate the ultrashort-term responses and molecular mechanisms in both the synovium and cartilage under conditions of excessive mechanical loading, a major contributing factor in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). While cartilage degeneration is a hallmark of OA, the involvement of the synovium in disease progression and pain, particularly in relation to synovitis, has been increasingly recognized. Despite this, the immediate molecular changes in both tissues following mechanical stress, and the interactions between them, remain unclear. To address these gaps, we developed a mouse model that simulates excessive mechanical loading through treadmill exercise combined with weight attachment. We investigated the ultrashort-term gene expression changes in the synovium and cartilage at 1, 4, and 24 hours post-exercise using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Additionally, we examined the effects of repeated overloading by analyzing tissue samples from mice subjected to four consecutive days of overloading. This approach allowed us to capture both the acute and repeated stress responses in these tissues. Through transcriptomic analysis, we aimed to identify key molecular mediators driving both the rapid transcriptional changes in each tissue and the synovium-cartilage interaction.

Project description:36 Yucatan minipigs underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection and were randomly assigned in equal numbers to no further treatment, reconstruction or ligament repair. Peri-meniscal synovium was harvested at 1 and 4 weeks post-operatively and histology and RNA-sequencing performed. The generated data served to identify the molecular pathophysiology present in inflamed synovium during the early development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), as well as differences between surgical treatments.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) induced destruction of knee joints is a common cause of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Under single cell RNA sequencing generated by 10x Genomics, we identified CD142+ synovial fibroblasts as a novel cluster, located at the sublining layer in normal and osteoarthritis knee synovium, but elevated and distributed at the lining layer in RA knee synovium, and infiltrated in multiple RA joint synovia. Intra-articular injection of CD142+ synovial fibroblasts can quickly and drastically damage the meniscus but has a slight effect on cartilage.Long-term follow-up of the RA cohort indicated that enriched CD142+ synovial fibroblasts in the lining layer was a risk factor for severe joint destruction and eventually underwent TKA. Our results demonstrate that CD142+ synovial fibroblasts can be used as an indicator to assess prognosis and a therapeutic target to inhibit meniscal damage, thereby alleviating RA knee joint destruction.

Project description:Objective Animal models of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) recapitulate the pathological changes observed in human PTOA. Here we aimed to compare the cartilage transcriptome responses of a non-surgical, mechanically induced rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) model and the surgical destabilisation of the medial meniscus (DMM) model. Methods Skeletally mature male C57Bl6 mice were subjected to either the non-surgical, mechanical ACL rupture or surgical DMM models and transcriptome profiling performed on micro-dissected cartilage at day 7 and 42 post-procedure, respectively; in general, naïve animals served as controls. MicroRNA profiling was also performed on the ACL rupture model. Expression levels of a miRNA of interest, miR-199-5p, were inhibited in primary human articular chondrocytes (HAC) with RNA-seq and 3’UTR assays used to identify and valid potential target genes. Results The number of differentially expressed genes between the two models were comparable and highly correlative (Spearman R =0.8, P<2.2E-16). Gene ontology enrichment analysis identified similarly enriched pathways, containing anabolic terms including ‘extracellular matrix organisation’ enriched for the upregulated genes. Within the ACL rupture miRNA transcriptome, miR-199-5p family members were amongst the most abundantly, and differentially expressed, which was replicated in the DMM cartilage by qRT-PCR. Inhibition of miR-199-5p in HAC led to a comparable transcriptome response to that observed in both human OA damaged vs intact cartilage and murine DMM cartilage datasets. Several genes, including GIT1, NCEH1, SOS2 and ECE1 were all experimentally verified as targets. Conclusion For the first time, we have characterised both the mRNA and miRNA articular cartilage signature in the ACL rupture model and demonstrated highly correlative responses with the DMM PTOA model. These data support the use of the ACL rupture model as a non-invasive alternative to DMM.
