Skeletal dysplasia-causing TRPV4 mutations suppress the hypertrophic differentiation of human iPSC-derived chondrocytes
Figures

Differences in TRPV4 electrophysiological properties of wildtype (WT) and mutant human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived chondrocytes.
(A) Whole-cell currents were higher, on average, in mutant hiPSC-derived chondrocytes than WT at 70 and −70 mV. TRPV4 inhibition with 20 µM GSK205 reduced mutant currents to similar levels as WT. Mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). n = 20–40 cells from 4 differentiations. Kruskal-Wallis test with multiple comparisons comparing cell lines at 70 and -70 mV. No significance. (B) The difference between the current (I) through TRPV4 without GSK205 from the average current through inhibited channels was significantly higher in V620I. There was no difference between no drugs and GSK205 in WT. Mean ± SEM. n = 27–40 from 4 differentiations. Kruskal–Wallis test with multiple comparisons comparing cell lines at 70 and −70 mV. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.001. (C) Inside-out excised patches of WT had a higher current in response to 10 nM GSK101 (indicated by *) than mutants. The addition of 10 nM GSK101 + 20 µM GSK205 (indicated by arrow head) decreased the current and continued to block the channel when GSK101 alone was re-introduced (*). Representative plots with average unitary current and current in response to GSK101. Mean ± SEM. N = 5, 9, and 8 for WT, V620I, and T89I, respectively, from 2 differentiations. (D) Mutant TRPV4 decreased the channels’ sensitivity to activation with GSK101 (indicated by arrow) as shown with confocal imaging of ratiometric fluorescence indicating Ca2+ signaling. GSK205 attenuated GSK101-mediated signaling. Mean ± 95% CI. n = 3 experiments with a total of 158–819 cells per line. (E) Quantification of the area under the curve of (D). Mean ± SEM. n = 158–819 cells from 3 experiments. Ordinary two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey’s post hoc test. Interaction, cell line, and treatment p < 0.0001. Different letters are significantly different, p < 0.05, from each other. (F) Time of initial response of each responding cell (≥25% of frames for that cell are responding) measured from the addition of stimulus. Mutant TRPV4 responded faster to GSK101, but the response was significantly slowed by GSK205. Responding frames were considered to have a fluorescence greater than the mean plus three times the standard deviation. Mean ± SEM. n = 21–360 responding cells from 3 experiments. Ordinary two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. Interaction, cell line, and treatment p < 0.0001.Different letters are significantly different, p < 0.05, from each other.

Mutant TRPV4 had little effect on chondrogenic matrix production.

Scale bar = 500 µm. Representative images from 3 to 4 differentiations. (E) The sGAG/DNA ratio increased in all three lines from day 14 to 28 of chondrogenesis. There were no differences between lines at each time point. Mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). n = 11–16 from 3 to 4 independent differentiation experiments. ****p < 0.0001 Statistical significance determined by an ordinary two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey’s post hoc test. (F) There were no differences in the elastic modulus of the matrix at day 28. Mean ± SEM. n = 11–14 from 3 experiments. Statistical significance determined by an ordinary two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test.

Minor differences in V620I matrix were observed at day 42 of chondrogenesis.
(A) The sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG)/DNA ratio increased in all three lines from day 14 to 28 of chondrogenesis. V620I also had an increase in the sGAG/DNA ratio from day 28 to 42. There were no differences between lines at each time point. Mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). n = 11–16 from 3 to 4 differentiation experiments. ****p < 0.0001, #p < 0.05 to day-28 V620I. Statistical significance determined by an ordinary two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey’s post hoc test. (B) There were no differences in the elastic modulus of the matrix at day 28. Day-42 V620I had a significantly lower elastic modulus than wildtype (WT) and T89I. Mean ± SEM. n = 11–14 from 3 experiments. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 Statistical significance determined by an ordinary two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test.

Wildtype (WT) chondrocytes are more sensitive to BMP4 treatment.

(B) Cell diameter was significantly increased in the WT with BMP4 treatment compared to all other groups indicating a hypertrophic phenotype. Mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). n = 249–304 cells from 2 pellets. Different letters indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05) between groups as determined by Kruskal–Wallis test with multiple comparisons since data was not normally distributed. (C) Western blot shows that WT had a stronger increased production of ALPL, COL10A1, IHH, RUNX2, and RUNX2-9 in response to BMP4 treatment than the mutants. (D) Principle component analysis (PCA) of bulk RNA-seq reveals an increased sensitivity to BMP4 (and TGFβ3 + BMP4) treatment in WT human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived chondrocytes compared to V620I and T89I. n = 3–4 samples.
