| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritis (OA) development involves a shift of the articular chondrocyte phenotype toward hypertrophic differentiation via still poorly characterized mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to test our hypothesis that the function of BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 is impaired in OA chondrocytes and leads directly to loss of hypertrophic protection of the articular chondrocyte, which is central in the changing chondrocyte phenotype that drives OA. METHODS: Human articular chondrocytes (HACs; from healthy and OA donors) and SW-1353 chondrocytic cells were exposed to bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), tumor necrosis factor, or OA synovial fluid (SF; 20% [volume/volume]). Loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments for BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 were performed. Mouse experimental models of OA were used, and (immuno)histochemistry of tissue sections was performed. Gene and protein expression of BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 and chondrogenic, hypertrophic, and OA-related mediators were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis and immunoblotting. In addition, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and prostaglandin E2 levels were measured. RESULTS: BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 expression correlated negatively with expression of chondrocyte hypertrophic markers (RUNX-2, COL10A1, AP), cartilage-degrading enzymes (matrix metalloproteinase 13, ADAMTS-5), and mediators of inflammation (cyclooxygenase 2, IL-6) in healthy and OA chondrocytes, as well as in OA induced chondrocytes. BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 positivity was diminished in articular chondrocytes in the knee joints of mice with experimental OA. Knockdown of BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 in HACs did not influence the expression of SOX9, COL2A1, or aggrecan, but led to an acute hypertrophic shift in the HAC phenotype. Overexpression of BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 decreased hypertrophic gene expression in HACs. Furthermore, the hypertrophic OA chondrocyte phenotype could be counteracted by overexpression of BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 and by BMP-7 in a BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that BAPX-1/NKX-3.2 is a molecular switch that is involved in controlling the hypertrophic phenotype of the postdevelopmental (OA) articular chondrocyte. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
