摘要

CXCR2 ligands contribute to chondrocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis, important determinants in cartilage pathophysiology. We unraveled the kinetics of signaling, biochemical, transcriptional, and morphological events triggered by GROalpha in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes kept in three-dimensional culture. p38 MAPK activation was assessed with a highly sensitive ELISA. Effector caspase activation was evaluated by cleavage of a fluorogenic substrate. Gene expression of key markers of hypertrophy (MMP-13, Runx-2) and matrix synthesis (aggrecan), and of cathepsin B isoform CB(-2,3) was evaluated by real time PCR. Occurrence of the morphological markers of apoptosis was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). GROalpha led to p38 MAPK activation in passaged chondrocytes cultured in micromass but not as a high-density monolayer. This caused the downstream triggering of chondrocyte hypertrophy (MMP-13 and Runx-2 upregulation, and calcium deposition) and apoptosis/anoikis following concurrenceof matrix degrading activity, and inhibition of matrix synthesis which also involved the induction of CB(-2,3). These phenomena proved to be dependent on the co-receptor role of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG) and the activation of p38 MAPK, since they were abrogated either by preincubation with soluble chondroitin-4 sulfate or p38 MAPK inhibitors. The co-receptor role of sGAG was further demonstrated by colocalization experiments of these molecules with GROalpha in the stimulated micromasses. These findings suggest that extracellular matrix exerts a regulatory role in chondrocytes differentiation, and that meaningful investigation of the effects of chemokines on chondrocyte biology requires culture conditions respectful of both the differentiated status of the chondrocytes and of their three-dimensional interaction with the extracellular matrix.
