MiR-322-5p is involved in regulating chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation in offspring's growth plate of maternal gestational diabetes. Sci Rep 2024; 14:20136.

Abstract
Pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) has an impact on fetal bone formation, but the underlying mechanism is still obscure. Although miRNAs have been extensively investigated throughout bone formation, their effects on fetal bone development caused by PGDM still need clarification. This study intends to examine the mechanism by which hyperglycemia impairs the bone formation of offspring via miR-322-5p (miR-322). In this study, miR-322 was selected by systemically screening utilizing bioinformatics and subsequent validation experiments. Using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice and ATDC5 cell lines, we found that miR-322 was abundantly expressed in the proliferative and hypertrophic zones of the growth plate, and its expression pattern was disturbed in the presence of hyperglycemia, suggesting that miR-322 is involved in the chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation in absence/presence of hyperglycemia. This observation was proved by manipulating miR-322 expression in ATDC5 cells by transfecting mimic and inhibitor of miR-322. Furthermore, Adamts5, Col12a1, and Cbx6 were identified as the potential target genes of miR-322, verified by the co-transfection of miR-322 inhibitor and the siRNAs, respectively. The evaluation criteria are the chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation and their relevant key gene expressions (proliferation: Sox9 and PthIh; differentiation: Runx2 and Col10a1) after manipulating the gene expressions in ATDC5 cells. This study revealed the regulative role miR-322 on chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation of growth plate by targeting Adamts5, Col12a1, and Cbx6 in hyperglycemia during pregnancy. This translational potential represents a promising avenue for advancing our understanding of bone-related complications in diabetic pregnancy and mitigating bone deficiencies in diabetic pregnant individuals, improving maternal and fetal outcomes.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex assembly of proteins that constitutes the scaffold organizing cells, tissues, and organs. Over the past decade, mass-spectrometry-based proteomics has become the method of choice to profile the composition of the ECM, or the matrisome, of tissues. To assist non-specialists with the reuse of ECM proteomic datasets, we released MatrisomeDB (https://matrisomedb.org) in 2020. Here, we report the expansion of the database to include 25 new curated studies on the ECM of 24 new tissues in addition to datasets on tissues previously included, more than doubling the size of the original database and achieving near-complete coverage of the in-silico predicted matrisome. We further enhanced data visualization by maps of peptides and post-translational-modifications detected onto domain-based representations and 3D structures of ECM proteins. We also referenced external resources to facilitate the design of targeted mass spectrometry assays. Last, we implemented an abstract-mining tool that generates an enrichment word cloud from abstracts of studies in which a queried protein is found with higher confidence and higher abundance relative to other studies in MatrisomeDB.

[PMID: 35650319 PMCID: PMC9160244 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-13231-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) post-transcriptionally regulate cartilage and bone development and function, however, only few miRNAs have been described to play a role for cartilage to bone transition in vivo. Previously, we showed that cartilage-specific deletion of the Mirc24 cluster in newborn male mice leads to impaired growth plate cartilage development due to increased RAF/MEK/ERK signaling and affects the stability of the cartilage extracellular matrix on account of decreased SOX6 and SOX9 and increased MMP13 levels. Here, we studied how Mirc24 cluster inactivation in cartilage and osteoblasts leads to an increased bone density associated with defects in collagen remodeling in trabecular bone. No changes in osteoblast distribution were observed, whereas the number of osteoclasts was reduced and TRAP activity in osteoclasts decreased. Surprisingly, an increased level of cluster-encoded miR-322 or miR-503 raises Rankl gene expression and inactivation of the cluster in chondrocytes reduces Rankl expression. These results suggest that the Mirc24 cluster regulates Rankl expression in chondrocytes at the chondro-osseous border, where the cluster is mainly expressed to modulate osteoclast formation, bone remodeling and bone integrity.

Whole Transcriptome Mapping Identifies an Immune- and Metabolism-Related Non-coding RNA Landscape Remodeled by Mechanical Stress in IL-1β-Induced Rat OA-like Chondrocytes. Front Genet 2022; 13:821508. [PMID: 35309149 PMCID: PMC8927047 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.821508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease. The aims of this study are to explore the effects of mechanical stress on whole transcriptome landscape and to identify a non-coding transcriptome signature of mechanical stress. Methods: Next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on IL-1β-induced OA-like chondrocytes stimulated by mechanical stress. Integrated bioinformatics analysis was performed and further verified by experimental validations. Results: A total of 5,022 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs), 88 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMIs), 1,259 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), and 393 differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) were identified as the transcriptome response to mechanical stress. The functional annotation of the DEMs revealed the effects of mechanical stress on chondrocyte biology, ranging from cell fate, metabolism, and motility to endocrine, immune response, and signaling transduction. Among the DELs, ∼92.6% were identified as the novel lncRNAs. According to the co-expressing DEMs potentially regulated by the responsive DELs, we found that these DELs were involved in the modification of immune and metabolism. Moreover, immune- and metabolism-relevant DELs exhibited a notable involvement in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulation networks. Silencing lncRNA TCONS_00029778 attenuated cellular senescence induced by mechanical stress. Moreover, the expression of Cd80 was elevated by mechanical stress, which was rescued by silencing TCONS_00029778. Conclusion: The transcriptome landscape of IL-1β-induced OA-like chondrocytes was remarkably remodeled by mechanical stress. This study identified an immune- and metabolism-related ncRNA transcriptome signature responsive to mechanical stress and provides an insight of ncRNAs into chondrocyte biology and OA.

Abstract
Energy metabolism and extracellular matrix (ECM) function together orchestrate and maintain tissue organization, but crosstalk between these processes is poorly understood. Here, we used single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) analysis to uncover the importance of the mitochondrial respiratory chain for ECM homeostasis in mature cartilage. This tissue produces large amounts of a specialized ECM to promote skeletal growth during development and maintain mobility throughout life. A combined approach of high-resolution scRNA-Seq, mass spectrometry/matrisome analysis, and atomic force microscopy was applied to mutant mice with cartilage-specific inactivation of respiratory chain function. This genetic inhibition in cartilage results in the expansion of a central area of 1-month-old mouse femur head cartilage, showing disorganized chondrocytes and increased deposition of ECM material. scRNA-Seq analysis identified a cell cluster-specific decrease in mitochondrial DNA-encoded respiratory chain genes and a unique regulation of ECM-related genes in nonarticular chondrocytes. These changes were associated with alterations in ECM composition, a shift in collagen/noncollagen protein content, and an increase of collagen crosslinking and ECM stiffness. These results demonstrate that mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction is a key factor that can promote ECM integrity and mechanostability in cartilage and presumably also in many other tissues.
