Abstract: Objective To investigate the role of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)in the differentiation of primary mouse chondrocytes(PMCs)and the underlying mechanism. Methods The expressions of chondrocyte differentiation markers, including extracellular matrix collagen type Ⅱ(Col Ⅱ)and collagen type Ⅹ(Col Ⅹ), and matrix metalloproteinase 3(MMP3)and matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP13)were detected on both mRNA and protein levels with qRT-PCR, Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. The changes of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNFα)were detected in TSH stimulated group and control group with qRT-PCR and ELISA. The differentially expressed genes of PMCs treated with TSH were screened with high-throughput RNA-Seq. PMCs were transfected with C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3(CTRP3)overexpression plasmid o explore the mechanism of TSH regulating PMCs differentiation. Results TSH upregulated the expressions of MMP3(P=0.016, P<0.001), MMP13(P<0.001), IL-1β(P=0.007, P=0.002), IL-6(P<0.001)and TNFα(P=0.006, P<0.001). The differentially expressed gene CTRP3 was screened out with RNA-seq. After CTRP3 overexpression, the expression of Col Ⅱ in PMCs was increased(F=76.062, F=77.085, F=190.115, P<0.001), while the expression of Col Ⅹ was decreased(F=33.494, F=38.424, F=43.351). Compared with simple TSH stimulation, after CTRP3 overexpression, the expressions of MMP3 (F=88.607, F=214.145, F=135.60), MMP13(F=116.561, F=138.674, F=86.865), IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα were significantly decreased(P<0.001). Conclusion CTRP3 has a protective effect on TSH-induced differentiation of PMCs, and it may become a promising anti-inflammatory therapeutic target for joint injury in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism(SCH).
