During osteoarthritis (OA), articular chondrocytes undergo phenotypic changes that resemble developmental patterns characteristic of growth plate chondrocytes. These phenotypic alterations lead to a hypertrophy-like phenotype characterized by altered production of extracellular matrix constituents and increased collagenase activity, which in turn results in cartilage destruction in OA disease. Recent studies have shown that the phenotypic instability and dysregulated gene expression in OA are associated with changes in DNA methylation patterns. Subsequent efforts have aimed to identify changes in DNA methylation with functional impact in OA disease, to potentially uncover therapeutic targets. Here, we paired an in vitro 3D/pellet culture system that mimics chondrocyte hypertrophy with RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and enhanced reduced representation of bisulfite sequencing (ERRBS) to identify transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in murine primary articular chondrocytes undergoing hypertrophy-like differentiation. We identified hypertrophy-associated changes in DNA methylation patterns in vitro. Integration of RNA-Seq and ERRBS datasets identified associations between changes in methylation and gene expression. Our integrative analyses showed that hypertrophic differentiation of articular chondrocytes is accompanied by transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in vitro. We believe that our integrative approaches have the potential to uncover new targets for therapeutic intervention. The phenotypic instability and dysregulated gene expression of articular chondrocytes in osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with changes in DNA methylation patterns. Here, we (A) used 3D/pellet culture systems to (B) induce hypertrophy in vitro and (C) perform RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and enhanced reduced representation of bisulfite sequencing (ERRBS) paired with (D) integrative bioinformatic analyses comparing non-hypertrophic and hypertrophic cells to identify and interpret transcriptomic and epigenomic changes associated with the hypertrophy-like differentiation of murine primary articular chondrocytes.
