Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Downregulation of histone deacetylase-4 (HDAC4) contributes to cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis (OA) because it promotes upregulation of runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx-2) and osteoarthritis-related genes. The effect of HDAC4 upregulation on cartilage damage in OA remains unknown. METHODS:Rat chondrocytes were infected with Ad-GFP or Ad-HDAC4-GFP for 48 h, stimulated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β, 10 ng/mL) for 24 h, and then harvested for RT-qPCR. Male Sprague-Dawley rats in 3 groups were given anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) or sham operation, and knee injections with different adenovirus (Ad) vectors at 48 h after surgery and every 3 weeks thereafter: ACLT+Ad-GFP (n = 17); ACLT+Ad-HDAC4-GFP (n = 20); and sham+Ad-GFP (n = 15). Three ACLT-Ad-HDAC4-GFP rats were sacrificed at different times to examine the expression of HDAC4. Two ACLT-Ad-GFP rats and two ACLT-Ad-HDAC4-GFP rats were euthanized at week-2; articular cartilage was harvested and expression of HDAC4 was determined by RT-qPCR. All other rats were euthanized at week-8. Cartilage damage and OA progression was assessed using radiography, fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT), histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA, and RT-qPCR. RESULTS:Overexpression of HDAC4 in chondrocytes stimulated by IL-1β reduced the levels of Runx-2, MMP-13, and Collagen X, but increased the levels of Collagen II and Aggrecan. Upregulation of HDAC4 reduced osteophyte formation and cartilage damage, and increased articular cartilage anabolism. CONCLUSION:HDAC4 attenuated articular cartilage damage by repression of Runx-2, MMP-13, and collagen X and induction of collagen II and ACAN in this rat model of OA. Upregulation of HDAC4 may provide chondroprotection in OA patients.
