LIPID INHIBITION IN HIGH GLUCOSE CONDITION CONTRIBUTES OSTEOARTHRITIS DERIVED PROGENITOR CELLS CHONDROGENESIS

The European Orthopaedic Research Society (EORS) 31st Annual Meeting, Porto, Portugal, 27–29 September 2023. Part 1 of 2.



Abstract

More and more evidences showed that cartilage harbored local progenitor cells that could differentiate toward osteoblast, chondrocyte, and adipocyte. However, our previous results showed that osteoarthritis derived chondroprogenitor cells (OA-CPC) exhibited strong osteogenic potential even in chondrogenic condition. How to promote their chondrogenic potential is the key for cartilage repair and regeneration in osteoarthritis. Recently, lipid availability was proved to determine skeletal progenitor fate. Therefore, we aim to determine whether lipid inhibition under 3D culture condition could enhance OA-CPC chondrogenesis. Moreover, glucose concentration was also evaluated for chondrogenic capacity. Although there are many researches showed that lower glucose promotes chondrogenesis, in our results, we found that OA-CPC in high concentration of glucose (4.5g/L) with lipid inhibitor (GW1100) showed strongest chondrogenic potential, which could form largest cell pellet with strong proteoglycan staining, COL II expression and no COL I expression. Besides, COL2A1 was increased and COL10A1 was decreased significantly by GW1100 under high glucose condition in 2D culture. Interestingly, although the expression level of MMP13 was not changed by GW1100 at RNA and protein level, less MMP13 protein secreted out of cell nuclear. In summary, we estimated that higher glucose and lower lipid supplies benefit OA-CPC chondrogenesis and cartilage repair.
