The chondrocyte response to IGF-1 is reduced with aging and in OA. IGF-1 signals through the PI-3 kinase/Akt pathway. TRB3, a tribbles homolog, has been shown to inhibit IGF-1 activation of Akt in HEK293 cells. In this study, we determined if TRB3 is expressed in chondrocytes and if TRB3 reduces the chondrocyte response to IGF-1. Normal human articular cartilage obtained from tissue donors and OA tissue obtained from knee replacement surgery were used to measure TRB3 by RT-PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry. Overexpression of TRB3 by transient transfection was used to determine the effects of TRB3 on cell survival and proteoglycan synthesis. TRB3 RNA was detected in normal human chondrocytes. TRB3 protein levels were low in cells from normal cartilage but significantly increased in OA cells. Incubation with two agents that induce endoplasmic reticulum stress, tunicamycin and thapsigargin, increased TRB3 levels in normal cells. Overexpression of TRB3 inhibited Akt phosphorylation and reduced chondrocyte survival and proteoglycan synthesis. These results are the first to demonstrate that TRB3 is present in human chondrocytes and its level is increased in OA cartilage and isolated OA chondrocytes. Because it is an inhibitor of Akt activation, increased levels of TRB3 could play a role in the increased cell death as well as the reduced response to IGF-1 seen in OA cartilage.
