Downregulation of SOX9 expression in developing entheses adjacent to intramembranous bone. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0301080.

Abstract
Entheses are classified into three types: fibrocartilaginous, fibrous, and periosteal insertions. However, the mechanism behind the development of fibrous entheses and periosteal insertions remains unclear. Since both entheses are part of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), this study analyzes the TMJ entheses. Here, we show that SOX9 expression is negatively regulated during TMJ enthesis development, unlike fibrocartilage entheses which are modularly formed by SCX and SOX9 positive progenitors. The TMJ entheses was adjacent to the intramembranous bone rather than cartilage. SOX9 expression was diminished during TMJ enthesis development. To clarify the functional role of Sox9 in the development of TMJ entheses, we examined these structures in TMJ using Wnt1Cre;Sox9flox/+ reporter mice. Wnt1Cre;Sox9flox/+ mice showed enthesial deformation at the TMJ. Next, we also observed a diminished SOX9 expression area at the enthesis in contact with the clavicle's membranous bone portion, similar to the TMJ entheses. Together, these findings reveal that the timing of SOX9 expression varies with the ossification development mode.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the extracellular matrix of primary cartilage with the secondary cartilage of chicks using immunohistochemical analyses in order to understand the features of chick secondary chondrogenesis. METHODS Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on the extracellular matrix of quadrate (primary), squamosal, surangular, and anterior pterygoid secondary cartilages using various antibodies targeting the extracellular matrix of cartilage and bone. RESULTS The localization of collagen types I, II, and X, versican, aggrecan, hyaluronan, link protein, and tenascin-C was identified in the quadrate cartilage, with variations within and between the regions. Newly formed squamosal and surangular secondary cartilages showed simultaneous immunoreactivity for all molecules investigated. However, collagen type X immunoreactivity was not observed, and there was weak immunoreactivity for versican and aggrecan in the anterior pterygoid secondary cartilage. CONCLUSIONS The immunohistochemical localization of extracellular matrix in the quadrate (primary) cartilage was comparable to that of long bone (primary) cartilage in mammals. The fibrocartilaginous nature and rapid differentiation into hypertrophic chondrocytes, which are known structural features of secondary cartilage, were confirmed in the extracellular matrix of squamosal and surangular secondary cartilages. Furthermore, these tissues appear to undergo developmental processes similar to those in mammals. However, the anterior pterygoid secondary cartilage exhibited unique features that differed from primary and other secondary cartilages, suggesting it is formed through a distinct developmental process.

Abstract
A jaw joint between the squamosal and dentary is a defining feature of mammals and is referred to as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in humans. Driven by changes in dentition and jaw musculature, this new joint evolved early in the mammalian ancestral lineage and permitted the transference of the ancestral jaw joint into the middle ear. The fossil record demonstrates the steps in the cynodont lineage that led to the acquisition of the TMJ, including the expansion of the dentary bone, formation of the coronoid process, and initial contact between the dentary and squamosal. From a developmental perspective, the components of the TMJ form through tissue interactions of muscle and skeletal elements, as well as through interaction between the jaw and the cranial base, with the signals involved in these interactions being both biomechanical and biochemical. In this review, we discuss the development of the TMJ in an evolutionary context. We describe the evolution of the TMJ in the fossil record and the development of the TMJ in embryonic development. We address the formation of key elements of the TMJ and how knowledge from developmental biology can inform our understanding of TMJ evolution.

Abstract
Chondrocyte hypertrophy is a significant factor in cartilage development, yet the molecular mechanism for cell volume expand during the process is remains unclear. In the present study, the relationship between Swell1, a cell volume regulated anion channel, and chondrocyte hypertrophy was explored. The results reveal that the spatiotemporal expression of Swell1 was similar with the development process of hypertrophic chondrocytes in condyles. Through Col10a1 mediated knock out of Swell1 in hypertrophy chondrocytes, we found that there are less obvious boundary between different condylar cartilage layers in which increased hypertrophic chondrocytes were scattered in all three cartilage layers. The cortical bone mass and bone mineral density in the subchondral bone significantly increased. Additionally, knock out of Swell1 could increase the expression of OCN in the femur condyle. Based on the aforementioned findings, a conclusion could be drawn that Swell1 is a significant factor in chondrocyte hypertrophy during the condylar osteochondral development process, and there was some difference between the mandibular and femur condyles, which will provide some new clues for understanding the development of cartilage and related diseases.

Abstract
The human fetal sphenoid is reported to have a cartilaginous connecting apparatus known as the alar process (AP), which connects the ala temporalis (AT) (angle of the greater wing of the sphenoid) to the basisphenoid (anlage of the sphenoid body). However, how the AP develops in humans is unclear. In addition, although the AP is a common structure of the mammalian chondrocranium, little is known about whether it is really a fundamental feature in mammals. This study examined the histological sections of 20 human embryos and fetuses from 6 to 14 weeks of development, of 20 mouse embryos from embryonic days 12-18, and of 4 rats embryos form embryonic days 17 and 20. In addition, we reconsidered the definition of the AP by comparing humans and rats with mice. In humans, the AP was continuous with the basisphenoid but was separated from the AT by a thick perichondrium. Then, the AP-AT connection had a key-and-keyhole structure. Unlike a joint, no cavitation developed in this connection. In mice, there was no boundary between the AT and the basisphenoid, indicating the absence of the AP in the mouse chondrocranium. In rats, the AP was, however, separated from the AT by a thick perichondrium. Therefore, the AP can be defined as follows: the AP is temporally separated from the AT by a thick perichondrium or a key-and-keyhole structure during the fetal period. This is the first study that confirms the absence of the alar process in the mice skull, and its presence in other mammals skull should be further investigated.

Abstract
Endogenous homeostasis and peripheral tissue metabolism are disrupted by irregular fluctuations in activation, movement, feeding and temperature, which can accelerate negative biological processes and lead to immune reactions, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). This review summarizes abnormal phenotypes in articular joint components such as cartilage, bone and the synovium, attributed to the deletion or overexpression of clock genes in cartilage or chondrocytes. Understanding the functional mechanisms of different genes, the differentiation of mouse phenotypes and the prevention of joint ageing and disease will facilitate future research.

Abstract
Auriculocondylar syndrome (ARCND) is an autosomal monogenic disorder characterised by external ear abnormalities and micrognathia due to hypoplasia of the mandibular rami, condyle and coronoid process. Genetically, three subtypes of ARCND (ARCND1, ARCND2 and ARCND3) have been reported. To date, five pathogenic variants of GNAI3 have been reported in ARCND1 patients. Here, we report a novel variant of GNAI3 (NM_006496:c.807C>A:p.(Asn269Lys)) in a Japanese girl with micrognathia using trio-based whole exome sequencing analysis. The GNAI3 gene encodes a heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein. The novel variant locates the guanine nucleotide-binding site, and the substitution was predicted to interfere with guanine nucleotide-binding by in silico structural analysis. Three-dimensional computer tomography scan, or cephalogram, displayed severely hypoplastic mandibular rami and fusion to the medial and lateral pterygoid plates, which have been recognised in other ARCND1 patients, but have not been described in ARCND2 and ARCND3, suggesting that these may be distinguishable features in ARCND1.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) supports chewing, talking or other daily oral activities. So far, it still remains a great challenge to treat the defected TMJ condyle cartilage through tissue engineering technology. Herein, a bilayered scaffold is designed to fully reconstruct the different cartilage matrices of TMJ condyle under same induction condition. The bilayered scaffold with segregated hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity in top and bottom layer is prepared from a low and high content of polyethylene glycol (PEG) crosslinked poly (L-glutamic acid)-g-polycaprolactone (PLGA-g-PCL). The hydrophobic aggregates in top layer support the adhesion and spread of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), thus inducing the differentation towards fibrocartilage; while aggregates (spheroids) are formed on the hydrophlic bottom layer, showing a preferable hyaline differentiation pathway under same chondrogenic induction in vitro. After 14 d in vitro induction, the scaffold/BMSCs construct is implanted in goat TMJ condyle defects. The post-operative outcome after 2 months demonstrates that the defects are fully covered by neo-cartilage. And the regenerated hierarchical TMJ condyle cartilage perfectly consist of ordered fibrocartilage and hyaline cartilage, which is same as natural condyle cartilage. These results corroborate that this bilayered scaffold with segregated hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity carrying induced BMSCs is a promising for treatment of TMJ condyle cartilage defects.

Abstract
The strains of inbred laboratory mice are isogenic and homogeneous for over 98.6% of their genomes. However, geometric morphometric studies have demonstrated clear differences among the skull shapes of various mice strains. The question now arises: why are skull shapes different among the mice strains? Epigenetic processes, such as morphological interaction between the muscles and bones, may cause differences in the skull shapes among various mice strains. To test these predictions, the objective of this study is to examine the morphological association between a specific part of the skull and its adjacent muscle. We examined C57BL6J, BALB/cA, and ICR mice on embryonic days (E) 12.5 and 16.5 as well as on postnatal days (P) 0, 10, and 90. As a result, we found morphological differences between C57BL6J and BALB/cA mice with respect to the inferior spine of the hypophyseal cartilage or basisphenoid (SP) and the tensor veli palatini muscle (TVP) during the prenatal and postnatal periods. There was a morphological correlation between the SP and the TVP in the C57BL6J, BALB/cA, and ICR mice during E15 and P0. However, there were not correlation between the TVP and the SP during P10. After discectomy, bone deformation was associated with a change in the shape of the adjacent muscle. Therefore, epigenetic modifications linked to the interaction between the muscles and bones might occur easily during the prenatal period, and inflammation seems to allow epigenetic modifications between the two to occur.

Abstract
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in RUNX2. Affected individuals exhibit delayed maturation or hypoplasia in various bones, mainly including those formed by intramembranous ossification. Although several reports described deformation of the sphenoid bone in CCD patients, details of the associated changes have not been well documented. Most parts of the sphenoid bone are formed by endochondral ossification; however, the medial pterygoid process is formed by intramembranous ossification associated with secondary cartilage. We first investigated histological changes in the medial pterygoid process during different developmental stages in Runx2+/+ and Runx2+/- mice, finding that mesenchymal cell condensation of the anlage of this structure was delayed in Runx2+/- mice as compared with that in Runx2+/+ mice. Additionally, in Runx2+/+ mice, Osterix-positive osteoblastic cells appeared at the upper region of the anlage of the medial pterygoid process, and bone trabeculae appeared to associate with subsequent secondary cartilage formation. By contrast, few Osterix-positive osteoblastic cells appeared at the upper region of the anlage of the medial pterygoid process, and no bone trabeculae appeared thereafter in Runx2+/- mice. At more advanced embryonic stages, endochondral ossification occurred at the lower part of the medial pterygoid process in both Runx2+/+ and Runx2+/- mice. After birth, well-developed bone trabeculae occupied two-thirds of the cranial side of the medial pterygoid process, and cartilage appeared beneath these bones in Runx2+/+ mice, whereas thin trabecular bone appeared at the center of the cartilage of the medial pterygoid process in Runx2+/- mice. In adult mice, the body and medial pterygoid processes of the sphenoid bone comprised mature bones in both Runx2+/+ and Runx2+/- mice, although the axial length of the medial pterygoid processes was apparently lower in Runx2+/-mice as compared with that in Runx2+/+mice based on histological and micro-computed tomography (CT) examinations. Moreover, medical-CT examination revealed that in CCD patients, the medial pterygoid process of sphenoid bone was significantly shorter relative to that in healthy young adults. These results demonstrated that the medial pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone specifically exhibited hypoplasia in CCD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to elucidate the local effects of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in on mandibular condylar growth in growing rats. DESIGN Growing Sprague-Dawley rats received intra-temporomandibular joint injections of phosphate buffer solution (PBS), adenovirus-mediated green fluorescent protein (Ad-GFP) or adenovirus-mediated fibroblast growth factor 23 (Ad-FGF23), which were marked as groups A, B, and C, respectively. In vitro, we treated rat mandibular cartilage chondrocytes with PBS, Ad-GFP, and Ad-FGF23. RESULTS The mandibular condyles in group C grew smaller sizes than those in the other control groups due to significant differences among the experimental and control groups with the value of C-D, Q-R (P ≤ 0.05), accompanied by diminished bone mass of sub-cartilage condyles via micro CT analysis. Histologically, the length of the hypertrophic zone was diminished and was associated with decreasing chondrocyte proliferation in group C. Quantitative real-time PCR indicated significant decreases in the expression of chondrogenesis marker genes, including Type X collagen (Col X) and SRY-type box 9 (Sox 9). Moreover, elevated Ad-FGF23 suppressed chondrocyte proliferation and the expression of the chondrogenic differentiation markers Col X and Sox 9 of in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Local injection of FGF23 suppressed the development and decreased the bone mass of condyles through the decreasing the formation of condylar cartilage, specifically by regulating condylar cartilage cell viability and chondrogenesis expression.
