Popis: | There is a little information about the effects of iron overload on cartilage metabolism. In the present study, we examined the effects of excess iron on the differentiation and mineralization of cultured chondrocytes, ATDC5 cells. We used ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) as a ferric ion donor and desferrioxamine (DFO) as a ferric ion chelator. Neither chemical affected the production of proteoglycan, a marker of an early stage of ATDC5 differentiation. In contrast, FAC inhibited the deposition of calcium, a late-stage event in chondrocyte differentiation, by ATDC5 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and DFO accelerated it. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy/scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that the levels of iron and calcium in cells treated with FAC were increased and decreased, respectively. Furthermore, FAC inhibited the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13 mRNA, another marker of late-stage chondrocyte differentiation. In addition, we found that the heavy and light chains of ferritin were expressed specifically at a late stage of ATDC5 differentiation, and the levels of both proteins were enhanced by the addition of iron. These results suggest that iron overload might give rise to osteopenia and arthritis by inhibiting chondrocyte differentiation and mineralization. |
