To investigate the roles of hedgehog and Wnt signaling pathways on accumulation of superficial zone protein (SZP) in surface zone articular chondrocytes. Chondrocytes were isolated from surface zone of articular cartilage from calf stifle joints and cultured as monolayers in serum-free chemically defined medium. Accumulation of SZP in the culture medium in response to hedgehog proteins (Sonic hedgehog; Shh and Indian hedgehog; Ihh), Wnt proteins (Wnt-3a, -5a and -11), agonists of Wnt/β-catenin pathway (glycogen synthase kinase-3β; GSK-3β inhibitors), and antagonists of Wnt/β-catenin pathway was investigated. Accumulation of β-catenin after treatment with Wnt-3a and GSK-3β inhibitor was also analyzed by immunoblots. Hedgehog proteins (Shh and Ihh) stimulated SZP accumulation. Activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway by Wnt-3a and GSK-3β inhibitors led to inhibition of SZP accumulation, but Wnt-5a and -11 which can activate β-catenin-independent Wnt pathways had no influence on SZP accumulation. On the other hand, antagonists of Wnt/β-catenin pathway stimulated SZP accumulation. In addition, there were additive effects on SZP accumulation by combined treatment of transforming growth factor-β1 and hedgehog proteins or antagonists of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Sonic and Indian hedgehog signaling pathway has a profound effect on SZP accumulation by surface zone articular chondrocytes. These results provide insights into a better understanding of articular cartilage homeostasis and maintenance.
