Abstract Estrogens cause growth plate closure in both males and females, by decreasing proliferation and inducing apoptosis of postproliferative growth plate chondrocytes. In vitro studies using 17β-estradiol (E2) conjugated to bovine serum albumin (E2-BSA) show that rat costochondral growth plate resting zone chondrocytes also respond to E2. Moreover, they are regulated by E2-BSA via a protein kinase C and ERK MAPK signaling pathway that is functional only in female cells. To better understand how E2 regulates apoptosis of growth plate chondrocytes, rat resting zone chondrocytes cells were treated with E2 or E2-BSA. E2 caused apoptosis in male and female resting zone and growth zone chondrocytes in a dose-dependent manner, based on elevated DNA fragmentation, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining and caspase-3 activation. E2 also up-regulated p53 and Bax protein (Bcl-2-associated X protein) levels and induced release of cytochrome C from the mitochondria, indicating a mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. The apoptotic effect of E2 did not involve elevated nitric oxide production or MAPKs. It was reduced by ICI 182780, which is an estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist and blocked by antibodies to Erα36, a membrane-associated ER. E2-BSA reduced cell viability and increased caspase-3 activity; ICI 182780 had no effect, but anti-ERα36 antibodies blocked the effect. The results indicate that estrogen is able to directly affect the cell population kinetics of growth plate chondrocytes by regulating apoptosis, as well as proliferation and differentiation in both resting zone and growth zone cells. They also have provided further information about the physiological functions of estrogen on longitudinal bone growth.

Regulation of the physiological processes of endochondral bone formation during long bone growth is controlled by various factors including the hormones estrogen and leptin. The effects of estrogen are mediated not only through the direct activity of estrogen receptors (ERs) but also through cross talk with other signaling systems implicated in chondrogenesis. The receptors of both estrogen and leptin (OBR (LEPR)) are detectable in growth plate chondrocytes of all zones. In this study, the expression of mRNA and protein of OBR in chondrogenic ATDC5 cells and the effect of 17β-estradiol (E2) stimulation were assessed using quantitative PCR and western blotting. We have found that the mRNA of Obr was dynamically expressed during the differentiation of ATDC5 cells over 21 days. Application of E2 (10−7 M) at day 14 for 48 h significantly upregulated OBR mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05). The upregulation of Obr mRNA by E2 was shown to take place in a concentration-dependent manner, with a concentration of 10−7 M E2 having the greatest effect. Furthermore, we have confirmed that E2 affected the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (MAPK1/MAPK3) in a time-dependent manner where a maximal fourfold change was observed at 10 min following application of E2. Finally, pretreatment of the cells with either U0126 (ERK1/2 inhibitor) or ICI 182 780 (ER antagonist) blocked the upregulation of OBR by E2 and prevented the E2-induced phosphorylation of ERK. These data demonstrate, for the first time, the existence of cross talk between estrogen and OBR in the regulation of bone growth whereby estrogen regulates the expression of Obr in growth plate chondrocytes via ERs and the activation of ERK1/2 signaling pathways.

With the use of the whole cell arrangement of the patch-clamp technique, an outward-directed time-dependent potassium current was identified in cultured chicken growth plate chondrocytes. This delayed rectifier potassium current (IK) activated with a sigmoidal time course during voltage steps to potentials positive to -40 mV. The half-maximal voltage required for current activation was determined to be -8 mV. The reversal potential (Erev) for IK, measured using deactivating tail currents, was -72 mV in the presence of 140 mM internal and 5 mM external [K+] solutions. Changes in external [K+] caused Erev to shift in a manner expected for a potassium-selective channel. In addition, increasing external [K+] from 5 to 50 mM caused the slope conductance of the tail currents to increase twofold. The chondrocyte IK was inhibited by the potassium-channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) at concentrations of 0.5-4 mM and by the scorpion venom toxin charybdotoxin (CTX; 10 nM) but was unaffected by 10 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA). Addition of 20 microM ZnCl2 reduced IK in a voltage-dependent manner with the greatest inhibition found to occur at potentials near the threshold for current activation. Reduction of IK by ZnCl2 was accompanied by a slowing in the kinetics of IK activation. On the basis of the gating and pharmacological properties of this current, it is suggested that the chondrocyte channel belongs to a superfamily of K+ channels found in bone and immune system cells. The chondrocyte K+ channel may contribute to the unusually high [K+] found in the extracellular fluid of growth plate cartilage.

Cartilaginous Tumors

Abstract Background Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1/2) gene mutations are the most frequently observed mutations in cartilaginous tumors. The mutant IDH causes elevation in the levels of R-enantiomer of 2-hydroxylglutarate (R-2HG). Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are reasonable precursor cell candidates of cartilaginous tumors. This study aimed to investigate the effect of oncometabolite R-2HG on MSCs. Methods Human bone marrow MSCs treated with or without R-2HG at concentrations 0.1 to 1.5 mM were used for experiments. Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to detect the proliferation of MSCs. To determine the effects of R-2HG on MSC differentiation, cells were cultured in osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic medium. Specific staining approaches were performed and differentiation-related genes were quantified. Furthermore, DNA methylation status was explored by Illumina array-based arrays. Real-time PCR was applied to examine the signaling component mRNAs involved in. Results R-2HG showed no influence on the proliferation of human MSCs. R-2HG blocked osteogenic differentiation, whereas promoted adipogenic differentiation of MSCs in a dose-dependent manner. R-2HG inhibited chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs, but increased the expression of genes related to chondrocyte hypertrophy in a lower concentration (1.0 mM). Moreover, R-2HG induced a pronounced DNA hypermethylation state of MSC. R-2HG also improved promotor methylation of lineage-specific genes during osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. In addition, R-2HG induced hypermethylation and decreased the mRNA levels of SHH, GLI1and GLI2, indicating Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling inhibition. Conclusions The oncometabolite R-2HG dysregulated the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs possibly via induction of DNA hypermethylation, improving the role of R-2HG in cartilaginous tumor development.
