摘要

We have investigated the role of c-Fos in chondrocyte differentiation in vitro using both constitutive and inducible overexpression approaches in ATDC5 chondrogenic cells, which undergo a well-defined sequence of differentiation from chondroprogenitors to fully differentiated hypertrophic chondrocytes. Initially, we constitutively overexpressed exogenous c-fos in ATDC5 cells. Several stable clones expressing high levels of exogenous c-fos were isolated and those also expressing the cartilage marker type II collagen showed a marked decrease in cartilage nodule formation. To investigate further whether c-Fos directly regulates cartilage differentiation independently of potential clonal variation, we generated additional clones in which exogenous c-fos expression was tightly controlled by a tetracycline-regulatable promoter. Two clones, DT7.1 and DT12.4 were capable of nodule formation in the absence of c-fos, However, upon induction of exogenous c-fos, differentiation was markedly reduced in DT7.1 cells and was virtually abolished in clone DT12.4. Pulse experiments indicated that induction of c-fos only at early stages of proliferation/differentiation inhibited nodule formation, and limiting dilution studies suggested that overexpression of c-fos decreased the frequency of chondroprogenitor cells within the clonal population. Interestingly, rates of proliferation and apoptosis were unaffected by c-fos overexpression under standard conditions, suggesting that these processes do not contribute to the observed inhibition of differentiation. Finally, gene expression analyses demonstrated that the expression of the cartilage markers type II collagen and PTH/PTHrP receptor were downregulated in the presence of exogenous c-Fos and correlated well with the differentiation status. Moreover, induction of c-fos resulted in the concomitant increase in the expression of fra-1 and c-jun, further highlighting the importance of AP-1 transcription factors in chondrocyte differentiation. These data demonstrate: that c-fos overexpression directly inhibits chondrocyte differentiation in vitro, and therefore these cell lines provide very useful tools for identifying novel c-Fos-responsive genes that regulate the differentiation and activity of chondrocytes.
