REDD1 is an endogenous inhibitor of mTOR that regulates cellular stress responses. REDD1 expression is decreased in aged and osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage and it regulates mTOR signaling and autophagy in articular chondrocytes in vitro. The present study investigated the effects of REDD1 deletion in vivo using a mouse model of experimental OA. Severity of OA was histologically assessed in 4-month-old wild-type and in Redd1−/− mice subjected to surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM). Chondrocyte autophagy, apoptosis, mitochondrial content, and expression of mitochondrial biogenesis makers were determined in cartilage and cultured chondrocytes from Redd1+/+ and Redd1−/− mice. REDD1 deficiency increased severity of changes in cartilage, menisci subchondral bone and synovium in the DMM model of OA. Chondrocyte death was increased in the cartilage of Redd1−/− mice and in cultured Redd1−/− chondrocytes under oxidative stress conditions. Expression of key autophagy markers (LC3 and ATG5) was markedly reduced in cartilage from Redd1−/− mice and in cultured human and mouse chondrocytes with REDD1 depletion. Mitochondrial content, ATP levels, and expression of the mitochondrial biogenesis markers PGC1α and TFAM were also decreased in REDD1 deficient chondrocytes. REDD1 was required for AMPK-induced PGC1α transcriptional activation in chondrocytes. Our observations suggest that REDD1 is a key mediator of cartilage homeostasis through regulation of autophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis and that REDD1 deficiency exacerbates the severity of injury-induced OA.
