Abstract

The acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a), which is activated by extracellular acid, contributes to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. However, it remains unclear whether ASIC1a mediates acid-induced matrix metabolism in rat articular chondrocytes via activation of the MAPK signaling pathway. In the current study, we found that extracellular acidification (pH 6.0) inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of articular chondrocytes in a dose-dependent manner, while the expression of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and P38 MAPK increased, but, this effect was blocked by the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM and the ASIC1a-specific blocker PcTx-1. In addition, extracellular acidification increased the expression of c-fos, GAG, HYP, and TIM1/2. These effects were inhibited by the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM, ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059, and ASIC1a-specific blocker PcTx-1, but not the P38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580. Finally, extracellular acidification increased the expression of c-jun and MMP-2/9, and these effects were blocked by the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM, P38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580, and ASIC1a-specific blocker PcTx-1, but not the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059. In conclusion, ASIC1a inhibits the expression of MMP-2/9, GAG, HYP, and TIMP-1/2 by the Ca2+-de...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
