RNA-Seq Reveals the mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs Expression Profile of Knee Joint Synovial Tissue in Osteoarthritis Patients. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12041449. [PMID: 36835984 PMCID: PMC9968173 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12041449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease common in the elderly population and imposes significant health and economic burden. Total joint replacement is the only currently available treatment but does not prevent cartilage degeneration. The molecular mechanism of OA, especially the role of inflammation in disease progression, is incompletely understood. We collected knee joint synovial tissue samples of eight OA patients and two patients with popliteal cysts (controls), measured the expression levels of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in these tissues by RNA-seq, and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and key pathways. In the OA group, 343 mRNAs, 270 lncRNAs, and 247 miRNAs were significantly upregulated, and 232 mRNAs, 109 lncRNAs, and 157 miRNAs were significantly downregulated. mRNAs potentially targeted by lncRNAs were predicted. Nineteen overlapped miRNAs were screened based on our sample data and GSE 143514 data. Pathway enrichment and functional annotation analyses showed that the inflammation-related transcripts CHST11, ALDH1A2, TREM1, IL-1β, IL-8, CCL5, LIF, miR-146a-5p, miR-335-5p, lncRNA GAS5, LINC02288, and LOC101928134 were differentially expressed. In this study, inflammation-related DEGs and non-coding RNAs were identified in synovial samples, suggesting that competing endogenous RNAs have a role in OA. TREM1, LIF, miR146-5a, and GAS5 were identified to be OA-related genes and potential regulatory pathways. This research helps elucidate the pathogenesis of OA and identify novel therapeutic targets for this disorder.

Abstract
Even though the diagnostics of rheumatic joint diseases are mostly based on clinical, immunoserological and imaging criteria, histopathology can also make a significant contribution. This is particularly true for clinically unclear monoarticular and periarticular diseases. The contribution of histopathology to the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases is manifold since the histopathological differential diagnosis includes the complete spectrum of synovial diseases. This heterogeneous pathogenetic spectrum is described in the joint pathology algorithm, which includes inflammatory and non-inflammatory diseases. To the latter group belong certain benign tumors such as the diffuse variant of the tenosynovial giant cell tumor, lipoma, hemangioma, vascular malformations and synovial chondromatosis. Additionally, the rare group of storage diseases should be kept in mind. Inflammatory diseases can be discriminated into crystal-induced arthropathies mainly such as gout and pseudogout, into granulomatous diseases such as tuberculosis and foreign-body inoculations, and finally into the large group of non-granulomatous, non-infectious synovitis. This large group is by far the most common, and it often causes difficulties in assigning the histopathological findings to a concrete rheumatologic diagnosis. In this context the synovitis score should be applied as a diagnostic device in these cases, leading to the diagnosis of a low-grade synovitis (which is associated with degenerative arthropathies) or of a high-grade synovitis (associated with rheumatic diseases). Identification of crystals and crystal-like deposits should be carried out with the application of the joint particle algorithm which addresses the identification of endogenous and non-endogenous particle deposits in the synovial tissues. Additionally, the synovitis-score may be used for evaluation of arthritis-progresssion and for the evaluation of inflammation-regression as a consequence of therapy with biologicals.

CD15 focus score: Infection diagnosis and stratification into low-virulence and high-virulence microbial pathogens in periprosthetic joint infection. Pathol Res Pract 2017; 213:541-547. [PMID: 28343870 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2017.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2016] [Revised: 01/02/2017] [Accepted: 01/02/2017] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the work was to validate the CD15 focus score for the infection pathology of periprosthetic joint infection in a large group and to clarify whether a stratification into low-virulence and high-virulence microbial pathogens is possible by means of the CD15 focus score (quantification of CD15 positive granulocytes). METHODS The histopathology of 275 synovial tissue samples taken intraoperatively during revision operations (n=127 hip, n=141 knee, n=2 shoulder, n=5 ankle) was evaluated according to the SLIM consensus classification (SLIM=synovial-like interface membrane). Neutrophilic granulocytes (NG) were quantified by the CD15 focus score on the basis of the principle of focal maximum infiltration (focus) with evaluation of one field of vision (about 0.3mm2). The quantification values were compared with the microbiological diagnoses taking into consideration the virulence groups of low-virulence and high-virulence microbial pathogens and mixed infection. RESULTS The patients with positive microbiological findings (n=160) had significantly (p<0.001, Mann-Whitney U test) higher CD15 focus score values than patients with negative microbiological findings (n=115), the cut-off value being 39 cells per high power field (HPF). The CD15 focus score values of low-virulence microbial pathogens (n=94) were significantly lower (p<0.001, Mann-Whitney U test) than the values of high-virulence microbial pathogens (n=55), the cut-off value being 106 cells per HPF. Based on the microbiological diagnosis the sensitivity with respect to a microbial infection is 0.91, the specificity 0.92 (PPV=0.94; NPV=0.88; accuracy: 0.92; AUC=0.95). Based on the differentiation of the CD15 focus score values between low-virulence and high-virulence microbes the sensitivity is 0.70 and the specificity 0.77 (PPV=0.63; NPV=0.81; accuracy=0.74; AUC=0.74). CONCLUSION As a result of the high sensitivity and specificity, the easy to use CD15 focus score is a diagnostically valid score for microbial periprosthetic infection. A differentiation between low-virulence and high-virulence microorganism of sufficiently high diagnostic quality is additionally possible as a result of the defined quantification of CD15 positive granulocytes (the CD15 focus score) histopathological diagnosis of microbial infections is possible, which on the one hand supports the microbiological diagnosis and on the other hand by the stratification into low-virulence and high-virulence microbial pathogens could represent an additional basis for a pathogen-specific antibiotic treatment in the event of unclear constellations of findings.

Abstract
Increasing classes of joint implants and the combination of materials results in increased and wear-associated pathologies. According to the revised consensus classification, the following types can be recognized at conventional histological examination: Type I, particle-induced type; Type II, infection type; Type III, combination type; Type IV, indifferent type; Type V arthrofibrotic type; Type VI, allergic/immunological/toxic adverse reactions and Type VII, bone pathologies. Wear particles are histopathologically characterized according to the Krenn particle algorithm which focuses on a descriptive identification of wear particles and the differentiation of other nonwear-related particles. Type VII is considered histologically when there is evidence of a perivascular/interstitial lymphocytic CD20- and CD3-positive infiltrate, presence of mast cells and eosinophils, and tissue necrosis/infarction associated with implant wear material. Since wear particle-induced toxicity cannot be differentiated with certainty from hypersensitivity/allergic reaction on histological examination, immunological-allergological and clinical data should be used as supplementary criteria for the differential diagnosis. Tissue sampling should be performed from periprosthetic soft tissue with location mapping and when feasible also from bone tissue. Additional information regarding the type of implant and clinical, radiological, immunological, and microbiology data should be available to the pathologist. Further immunohistochemical studies are recommended in the following settings: infection (CD15, CD20, CD68); prosthesis-associated arthrofibrosis (β‑catenin); allergic/immunologic/toxic adverse reactions (CD20, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD117 and for T‑cell characterization T‑bet, GATA-3, and FOXP3).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histopathological differences in synovia and synovial-like interface membrane (SLIM) patterns can be used to differentiate periprosthetic particle-induced reactions, bacterial infections (bacterial synovitis and osteomyelitis), mechanical-induced tissue alterations, adverse reactions to implant material, and arthrofibrosis (SLIM consensus classification). AIM Because of differences in treatment the diagnosis of a bacterial implant infection is very important. Histopathological tests and scoring systems are important diagnostic tools in identifying deep implant infections in patients with unclear clinical history as well as radiographic and laboratory studies. RESULTS Modern enzyme PCR-based methods, histochemical- and immune-histopathological techniques (CD3,CD15, CD68) are useful in identifying specific and nonspecific infections, as well as differentiating postsurgical changes from recurrent infections in patients with a spacer. In all histopathological scoring systems for bacterial infection, quantifying the number of neutrophil granulocytes in a defined number of high power fields is crucial. DISCUSSION Neutrophil granulocytes can be detected through histochemical methods and more specifically by immune-histopathological techniques and by various quantification systems (histopathological scores) leading to the diagnosis of bacterial peri-implant infection. One important function of histopathology, apart from diagnosing infection, is to rule out other mechanisms of implant failure, such as tumor infiltrations, particle-induced reactions, and adverse reactions to implant materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment and diagnosis of osteomyelitis are still a challenging problem for surgeons, microbiologists and histopathologists. A direct microbiological detection of bacteria in tissues is still gold standard, but it is not always successful for example in chronic osteomyelitis and/or when an antibiotic treatment has already been started or in cases of low virulent bacteria. The goal of this study was to define diagnostic criteria of osteomyelitis, the inflammatory regression of osteomyelitis ("osteomyelitis score") under specific therapy by the correlation of histopathological and microbiological and clinical standard tests. METHODS In this retrospective analysis patients with medical history and clinically clear signs of bacterial infection and osteomyelitis underwent surgery between 01.01.2013 and 31.12.2012. Their formal consent was given. Tissue samples were taken during surgery according to defined criteria including surgical interventions. Histopathological diagnosis was carried out by conventional techniques based on defined criteria of bacterial infection in connective tissue, peri-implant membrane and bone. These results were carried out in tables by numbers representing the histopathological criteria of acute osteomyelitis (A1 to A3) as well as the chronic criteria (C1 and C2) in a semiquantitative way (scale 0 to 3). On the other hand a notational, graduated histopathological report was performed. Preoperative clinical diagnosis, perioperative macroscopic diagnosis, histopathological and microbiological findings were correlated. RESULTS Histopathological samples of 52 surgical interventions based on the preoperative diagnosis "osteomyelitis" (AOM, ECOM or COM) were included. 37 times preoperatively signs of a chronic osteomyelitis (COM), 10 times preoperatively acute osteomyelitis (AOM) was diagnosed. Another 5 patients were preoperatively diagnosed as acute exacerbated osteomyelitis (ECOM). The correlation of the histopathological infection including the inflammatory activity and microbiological detection of bacteria was 57%. The correlation between preoperative diagnosis and histopathological findings was 68%. CONCLUSION The relatively small 68% correlation between clinical preoperative and histopathological diagnosis and 57% correlation between preoperative clinical diagnosis and microbiological findings indicates: Clinical findings are not sufficient for the diagnosis "osteomyelitis".Clinical findings are not sufficient for the differentiation between AOM, ECOM and COM.Histopathological analysis is the critical factor for the diagnosis ("osteomyelitis") and differential diagnosis (AOM vs. COM).Histopathological analysis represents the basis for further treatment.HOES facilitates the classification of the histopathological findings.HOES is a sufficient tool for the treating physician in order to define the further treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE The accurate diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) relies on clinical investigation, laboratory parameters, radiological methods, sterile joint aspiration for synovial fluid leucocyte count and microbiological analysis and tissue sampling for histopathology. Due to the limits in specificity and sensitivity of these methods, molecular techniques and new biomarkers were introduced into the diagnostic procedure. Histological examination is related to the amount of neutrophils in the periprosthetic tissue in frozen sections and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded material (FFPE). However, the threshold of neutrophils per defined area of tissue among various studies is very inconsistent. METHODS We have applied matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) to a total of 32 periprosthetic tissue samples of patients with PJI to detect peptides associated with areas of neutrophil infiltration. RESULTS Specific peaks associated with a high amount of neutrophils were detected. Of these m/z peaks, four could be assigned to predictive neutrophil molecules. These peptides include annexin A1, calgizzarin (S100A11), calgranulin C (S100A12) and histone H2A. By MALDI IMS, these peptides could be shown to be co-localised with the infiltration of neutrophils in the immediate vicinity of the periprosthetic interface, whereas more distant areas did not show neutrophil invasion or infection-related peptides. CONCLUSIONS MALDI IMS is a new method allowing identification of neutrophil peptides in periprosthetic tissues and may be a surrogate for counting neutrophils as an objective parameter for PJI.

Abstract
Acute septic arthritis is a surgical emergency because rapid septic destruction of articular cartilage can lead to impairment or even loss of joint function. Diagnosis consists of patient history, clinical examination, laboratory results, (sonography- guided) joint aspiration and radiography. Emergency therapy is based on arthroscopic or open joint debridement and lavage combined with systemic antibiotic therapy. No data are available for the recommendation of local antibiotics but antiseptic solutions are not recommended because of cartilage damage. New trends in diagnostics are positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), urine sticks for analysis of joint fluid and molecular pathology. Chronic joint empyema is more diagnostically demanding and is difficult to treat. In cases of necrotic and infected articular cartilage, joint resection has to be performed for quiescence of infection. Options following successful treatment of empyema are arthroplasty, arthrodesis or permanent resection.

Abstract
Even in recent traumatology and orthopedic surgery infectious diseases of the bone (i.e. osteomyelitis) and it's surrounding tissues remain serious complications. The therapy is demanding and oftenly does not lead to a complete restitutio ad integrum. In order to create the optimal treatment one has to have a profound knowledge about the "state of the art" therapy of bone infections and the basic phases: Reassurance of the local infection (bone and surrounding tissues) and reconstruction of the bone and surrounding tissues. The local infection treatment is based on the consequent surgical eradication of infected tissue. In addition (as a supportive therapy) antibiotics have to be applied according to the local and systemic response of the patient to the infection. Also further supportive methods like hyperbaric oxygenation may be taken into consideration. The following paper provides an overview of diagnostic features and the different surgical procedures as well as the current literature in order to reach the above mentioned goals.

Abstract
The role of a standardized histopathological examination of tissue biopsies and of different tissue compartments (synovia, vascular tissue, bone) is discussed in order to stratify the therapy of different forms of arthritis and other rheumatological diseases. Furthermore the diagnostic steps for the histopathological diagnosis of metabolic osteopathic diseases are highlighted. The synovitis-score is described as a diagnostic device leading to the diagnosis of a low-grade synovitis, which is associated with degenerative and posttraumatic arthropathies, or of a high-grade synovitis which is associated with rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
Bacterial infection of the bone is a severe disease with complications, potentially including long-term physical disability. The diagnosis and therapy of osteomyelitis include several elements: histopathology, microbiology, radiologic imagining, as well as antibiotic and surgical therapy. Histopathologists differentiate between acute osteomyelitis (infiltration of cancellous bone with neutrophil granulocytes); specific osteomyelitis (epithelioid-like granulomatous inflammation, tuberculosis, mycotic infections); primary/secondary chronic osteomyelitis (lymphocytic infiltration); and special forms of chronic osteomyelitis (varying histomorphology, Brodie abscess, SAPHO syndrome). Another important task in the histopathological diagnosis of inflammatory bone diseases is to differentiate osteomyelitis from malignant entities (sarcoma, lymphoma). Therefore, biopsy samples should be of sufficient size for safe diagnosis. Clinical information and imaging as well as interdisciplinary teamwork between radiologists, microbiologists, orthopedic surgeons and pathologists is mandatory to verify these diagnoses.
