Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to show that the proliferation of chondrocytes is regulated by SET domain bifurcated 1 (SETDB1) along with the downregulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH)/parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor in Meckel\'s cartilage.
METHODS: Setdb1 was knocked down or overexpressed in a mouse chondrogenic ATDC5 cells, by transfecting the cells with short interfering RNA against Setdb1 or wild-type Setdb1 expression vector, respectively. Cell proliferation was detected by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Setdb1 was conditionally deleted in neural crest cells with Wnt1-Cre (Setdb1 conditional knockout mice). Immunofluorescence staining of paraffin sections of embryonic days 13.5 and 14.5 Setdb1 conditional knockout mice or transfected ATDC5 cells was performed to detect PTH/PTHrP receptor. Protein kinase B (AKT) phosphorylation inhibitor was added to both siRNA-transfected ATDC5 cultures to determine whether AKT activation induces PTH/PTHrP receptor expression after Setdb1 knockdown or vice versa.
RESULTS: Setdb1 knockdown in ATDC5 cells showed increased cell proliferation and parathyroid hormone receptor 1 expression. Contrasting results were observed in the Setdb1-overexpressed wild-type cells. Immunofluorescence staining showed the highly expressed PTH/PTHrP receptor in Setdb1-knocked down ATDC5 cells and in the chondrocytes of Setdb1 conditional knockout embryonic Meckel\'s cartilage, indicating the negative regulation of SETDB1 on PTH/PTHrP receptor. Strong staining of phosphorylated AKT was observed in Setdb1-knocked down ATDC5 cells. However, the inhibition of AKT phosphorylation significantly reduced both the PTH/PTHrP receptor staining and the Setdb1-knockdown-induced increase in ATDC5 cell proliferation.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings contribute new insights on SETDB1 function in relation with AKT and PTH/PTHrP receptor during chondrocyte proliferation.
