Gender disparities in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are well documented despite the lack of any known major RA susceptibility genes mapped to sex chromosomes. Murine chromosome 15 carries the sex-affected Pgia8 locus that mediates proteoglycan-induced arthritis (PGIA); homologous human loci are associated with RA. This study uses a Pgia8 congenic strain to identify genes/mechanisms implicated in gender disparities in arthritis. Gene expression analysis was performed using RNA isolated from paws of congenic males and females with collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA). Data were corroborated with RT-PCR and also studied in mice prior to disease onset. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis of the expression patterns and gene functions were used to discover locus-specific and sex-affected signature transcripts. We found that the Pgia8 locus regulates antibody-mediated inflammatory arthritis differently in males and females. In Pgia8 congenic males, arthritis severity was 30% less (p < 0.005) than in wild-type males, but the anti-inflammatory effect was similar in wild type and congenic females. Transcriptome analysis indicated that twelve genes within the locus were significantly deregulated in arthritic joints of congenic mice; expression of these genes was also gender specific. The genes that correlated the most with arthritis severity include collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (Cthrc1), metalloproteinase Adamts12, R-spondyn (Rspo2) and Syndecan (Sdc2) (r=0.87–0.91). The level of Cthrc1 message also correlated with that of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6. Gender-specific disparities in RA are linked to transcriptional regulation of genes involved in cartilage degradation (Adamts12) and canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling (Cthrc1, Rspo2, Sdc2).
