Abstract
Chondrocyte hypertrophic differentiation is a main event leading to articular cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis. It is associated with matrix remodeling and mineralization, the dynamics of which is not well characterized during chondrocyte hypertrophic differentiation in articular cartilage. Based on an in vitro model of progressive differentiation of immature murine articular chondrocytes (iMACs) into prehypertrophic (Prehyp) and hypertrophic (Hyp) chondrocytes, we performed kinetics of chondrocyte differentiation from Prehyp to Hyp to follow matrix mineralization and remodeling by immunofluorescence, biochemical, molecular, and physicochemical approaches, including atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy associated with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), attenuated total reflection infrared analyses, and X-ray diffraction. Chondrocyte apoptosis was determined by TUNEL assay. The results show the formation of a mineral phase 7 days after Hyp induction, which spreads within the matrices to form poorly crystalline carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite after 14 days, then the proportions of crystalline relative to amorphous content increases over time. Hyp differentiation also induced a matrix turnover that occurs over the first 7 days, characterized by a decrease in type II collagen and aggrecan and the concomitant appearance of type X collagen. This is accompanied by an increase in the enzymatic activity of MMP-13, the main collagenase in cartilage. The number of apoptotic chondrocytes slightly increased with Hyp differentiation and SEM-EDS analyses detected phosphorus-rich structures that could correspond to apoptotic bodies. Our findings highlight the mechanisms of matrix remodeling events leading to the mineralization of articular cartilage that may occur in osteoarthritis.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e14120. [PMID: 36915568 PMCID: PMC10006742 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e14120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives To image knee osteochondral specimens using magnetic resonance (MR) ultrashort echo time imaging with pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition combined fat suppression (PETRA-FS) sequence to determine whether it can reveal non-calcified cartilage, including the deep radial layer, and to assess its effectiveness in cartilage damage diagnosis. Materials and methods PETRA-FS imaging was performed on 58 osteochondral specimens of the lower femur and upper tibia to observe depth of cartilage damage, combined with histological results to observe signal intensity composition. Sensitivity, specificity, and reliability of PETRA-FS sequence for diagnosing cartilage damage were evaluated using histological results as the gold standard. Diagnostic efficacy was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results MR ultrashort echo time imaging PETRA-FS sequence showed non-calcified cartilage, including tangential, transitional, and radial layers, which showed a high signal. PETRA-FS sequence showed 37 cases of cartilage damage and 21 cases of no damage among 58 specimens, kappa value of 0.75. Histological analysis of the 58 osteochondral specimens revealed 38 cases of cartilage injury and 20 cases of undamaged cartilage. Using histological results as the gold standard, PETRA-FS sequence had a sensitivity of 87.00%, specificity of 80.00%, kappa value of 0.81, and an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.83 for cartilage injury diagnosis. Conclusion MR ultrashort echo time imaging PETRA-FS sequence can show non-calcified cartilage, including the deep radial layer (which cannot be shown by conventional MR), by exhibiting a high signal in knee osteo-chondral specimens. Thus, PETRA-FS sequences may have important diagnostic value for cartilage injury diagnosis.

Gremlin-1 and BMP-4 Overexpressed in Osteoarthritis Drive an Osteochondral-Remodeling Program in Osteoblasts and Hypertrophic Chondrocytes. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042084. [PMID: 35216203 PMCID: PMC8874623 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23042084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a whole joint disease characterized by an important remodeling of the osteochondral junction. It includes cartilage mineralization due to chondrocyte hypertrophic differentiation and bone sclerosis. Here, we investigated whether gremlin-1 (Grem-1) and its BMP partners could be involved in the remodeling events of the osteochondral junction in OA. We found that Grem-1, BMP-2, and BMP-4 immunostaining was detected in chondrocytes from the deep layer of cartilage and in subchondral bone of knee OA patients, and was positively correlated with cartilage damage. ELISA assays showed that bone released more Grem-1 and BMP-4 than cartilage, which released more BMP-2. In vitro experiments evidenced that compression stimulated the expression and the release of Grem-1 and BMP-4 by osteoblasts. Grem-1 was also overexpressed during the prehypertrophic to hypertrophic differentiation of murine articular chondrocytes. Recombinant Grem-1 stimulated Mmp-3 and Mmp-13 expression in murine chondrocytes and osteoblasts, whereas recombinant BMP-4 stimulated the expression of genes associated with angiogenesis (Angptl4 and osteoclastogenesis (Rankl and Ccl2). In conclusion, Grem-1 and BMP-4, whose expression at the osteochondral junction increased with OA progression, may favor the pathological remodeling of the osteochondral junction by inducing a catabolic and tissue remodeling program in hypertrophic chondrocytes and osteoblasts.

Increased serum interleukin-34 levels as a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in patients with acute ischemic stroke. J Neuroimmunol 2021; 358:577652.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent data reveal that interleukin-34 (IL-34) can drive inflammatory response, thereby participating in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. However, the potential effect of IL-34 in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the levels of serum IL-34 were correlated with clinical severity or prognosis in AIS patients. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, serum IL-34 levels were detected in 150 healthy controls and 155 AIS patients. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to investigate the effect of IL-34 on the diagnosis and prognosis of AIS. ROC curve was utilized to evaluate predictive values for IL-34. RESULTS Serum IL-34 levels at admission were significantly higher in AIS patients than those in the healthy controls. Univariate and multivariate logistics regression analysis showed that IL-34 was an independent predictor of occurrence and functional outcome of AIS. The ROC curve demonstrated that IL-34 had a good predictive effect on the diagnosis and prognosis of AIS. CONCLUSIONS IL-34 can be used as a novel and independent diagnostic and predicting prognostic biomarker in AIS.
