Recovery of function in osteoarthritic chondrocytes induced by p16INK4a-specific siRNA in vitro
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the roles of p16(INK4a) in the senescence of human chondrocytes and the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed to examine p16(INK4a) expression in fetal, normal age-matched and OA cartilage, and Western blot was used in primary cultured chondrocytes from different origins. To explore a functional p16(INK4a) knockdown in OA chondrocytes, the primary cultured cells were treated with p16(INK4a)-specific small interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs). Expression of p16(INK4a), p14(ARF) and p53 was observed by Western blot and RT-PCR. The phosphorylation status of pRb, senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-gal), cell G1/S transition and cell proliferation were studied by Western blot, histological staining, 3H-thymidine incorporation and cell counts respectively. Expression of the collagen I, collagen II and aggrecan genes was measured by semiquantitative RT-PCR. To establish the response of chondrocytes to cytokines, cells were treated with transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) or interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) and examined for incorporation of 3H-thymidine, 3H-proline and 35S-sulphate respectively. RESULTS: A significant increase of p16(INK4a) was detected in OA chondrocytes compared with normal age-matched and fetal chondrocytes (P<0.01) in vivo and in vitro. Treated with p16(INK4a)-specific siRNAs, OA chondrocytes displayed a significant decrease in p16(INK4a) expression with an increase of phosphorylated pRb, but no alteration of p14(ARF) and p53 expression, followed by decreases of senescent features and increases in the expression of some chondrocyte-specific genes and overall repair capacity. CONCLUSIONS: p16(INK4a) is instrumental in the senescence of human articular chondrocytes or OA. The reduction of p16(INK4a) by RNA interference (RNAi) contributed to the recovery of osteoarthritic chondrocytes, suggesting that p16(INK4a) may be a viable future therapeutic candidate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
