摘要: 目的 探究成纤维细胞生长因子受体3(FGFR3)对关节软骨表层细胞(SPZCs)损伤的影响。方法 将小鼠随机分为2组:假手术组(sham组)、手术诱导的内侧半月板不稳定模型组(DMM组)。于术后4周和8周使用臧红固绿染色观察关节软骨组织学形态;免疫组化染色检测细胞凋亡情况及FGFR3蛋白表达情况。提取小鼠原代SPZCs,随机分为对照组和Fgfr3敲降处理组,用RT-qPCR与Western blot检测软骨细胞外基质合成、降解及软骨细胞肥大化相关基因和蛋白质表达。结果 与sham组比较,DMM组术后小鼠膝关节软骨出现SPZCs率先损伤,免疫组化提示软骨细胞凋亡增加、基质金属蛋白酶13(MMP-13)及FGFR3表达降低(P<0.05)。原代SPZCs通过转染小干扰RNA(siRNA)敲降Fgfr3,RT-qPCR结果显示软骨细胞外基质合成相关基因蛋白聚糖(Acan)和Ⅱ型胶原蛋白(Col2) mRNA表达降低,细胞外基质降解相关基因Mmp13、血小板反应蛋白解整合素金属肽酶5(Adamts5) mRNA表达升高(P<0.05)。Western blot与RT-qPCR结果一致,显示MMP-13蛋白表达水平显著升高,而collagen Ⅱ和aggrecan蛋白表达出现显著下降(P<0.05)。结论 Fgfr3敲降可诱导小鼠原代SPZCs出现损伤,导致早期骨关节炎(OA)发生。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) on articular cartilage superficial zone cells (SPZCs). Methods C57 mice were randomly divided into two groups: a sham operated group (sham group) and a group of surgically induced unstable medial meniscus model group (DMM group). The histological morphology of articular cartilage was microscopied by Safranin O/Fast Green-stained in 4 weeks and 8 weeks after surgery. Apoptosis and FGFR3 protein expression were detected by immunohistochemical staining microscopy. Primary SPZCs were separated and randomly divided into control group and Fgfr3 knockdown treatment group. The genes and protein expression related to chondrocyte extra cellular matrix synthesis, degradation and chondrocytehypertrophy were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Results Compared with the sham group, the keen cartilage of mice in DMM group showed a pioneer damage of SPZCs after surgery; Immunohistochemistry results showed an increase in chondrocyte apoptosis and a decrease in expression of MMP-13 and FGFR3(P<0.05). Primary SPZCs were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) to knockdown Fgfr3; RT-qPCR results showed that the mRNA expression of genes related to the synthesis of cartilage extracellular matrix aggrecan and Col2 was reduced; And the mRNA expression of extracellular matrix degradation-related genes Mmp13 and Adamts5 was increased. The mRNA expression of chondrocyte hypertrophy-related genes Col10 and Mmp13 was increased. Western blot and RT-qPCR results were consistent and the expression l of MMP13 protein was significantly increased, while the expression of collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan protein was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions Knockdown of Fgfr3 induces damage to primary SPZCs in mice resulting in early osteoarthritis (OA) development.
