Objectives: This study aimed to determine the collagen type II (COL2) and SOX9 expression in interleukin growth factor (IGF-1)-induced Wharton's Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) and the level of chondrogenic markers in co-culture IGF1-WJMSCs and IL1β-CHON002 as osteoarthritis (OA) cells model.
Materials And Methods: WJMSCs were induced with IGF1 (75, 150, and 300 ng/ml) to enhance their chondrogenesis capability. The gene expression of SOX9 and COL2 was evaluated with quantitative RT-PCR. Furthermore, IGF1-WJMSCs were co-cultured with IL1β-CHON002 cells in varied ratios (1:2, 1:1, 2:1). Chondrogenic markers ADAMTS1, ADAMTS5, MMP3, MMP1, and RANKL were measured with ELISA.
Results: The IGF1-WJMSCs had an increased expression of COL2 and SOX9. ADAMTS1, ADAMTS5, MMP1, MMP3, and RANKL levels were decreased in the co-culture IGF1-WJMSCs and IL1β-CHON002.
Conclusion: The IGF1-induced WJMSCs were capable to enhance chondrogenesis, indicated by increased expression of SOX9 and COL2 and decreased expression of ADAMTS1, ADAMTS5, MMP3, MMP1, and RANKL. These findings can be further used in the osteoarthritis treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Scleral hypoxia is linked to myopia by causing changes in the sclera, and understanding this involves identifying key molecules.
- Researchers developed a hypoxia model and used RNA sequencing to find that Adamts1 and Adamts5 genes are upregulated in hypoxic scleral fibroblasts, which correlates with decreased COLLAGEN I levels.
- Experiments in both cell models and mice showed that knocking down Adamts1 or Adamts5 increases COLLAGEN I, indicating these proteins play a role in scleral remodeling and myopia development.
Combined genetic-pharmacologic inactivation of tightly linked ADAMTS proteases in temporally specific windows uncovers distinct roles for versican proteolysis and glypican-6 in cardiac development.

Extracellular matrix remodeling mechanisms are understudied in cardiac development and congenital heart defects. We show that matrix-degrading metalloproteases ADAMTS1 and ADAMTS5, are extensively co-expressed during mouse cardiac development. The mouse mutants of each gene have mild cardiac anomalies, however, their combined genetic inactivation to elicit cooperative roles is precluded by tight gene linkage.

Article Synopsis
- Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective chemotherapy drug but can cause harmful heart issues, leading to cardiomyopathy, which limits its use.
- The study focused on how DOX affects the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) and found that it down-regulates key ECM-related genes and alters the fibroblast proteome.
- Additionally, DOX treatment increases collagen production in cardiac fibroblasts but does not significantly change collagen organization or glycoprotein levels.

A disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motifs (ADAMTS1) is a protease involved in fertilization, cancer, cardiovascular development, and thoracic aneurysms. Proteoglycans such as versican and aggrecan have been identified as ADAMTS1 substrates, and Adamts1 ablation in mice typically results in versican accumulation; however, previous qualitative studies have suggested that ADAMTS1 proteoglycanase activity is weaker than that of other family members such as ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5. Here, we investigated the functional determinants of ADAMTS1 proteoglycanase activity.

Article Synopsis
- Increased mechanical forces on developing cardiac valves influence the formation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is crucial for tissue integrity and cellular signaling.
- The study focused on the pulmonary valve (PV) during a key developmental period from birth to postnatal day 7, analyzing the impact of blood flow on mechanical loading.
- Findings demonstrated that in mice lacking the proteoglycan protease ADAMTS5, the PV showed temporary phenotypic improvement and changes in proteoglycan localization, suggesting that increased blood flow activates ECM proteases that help organize ECM layers essential for cardiac valve maturation.
