Objective: Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous membrane components that play a functional role in maintaining chondrocyte homeostasis. We investigated the potential role of gangliosides, one of the major components of GSLs, in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Design: Both age-associated and instability-induced OA models were generated using GM3 synthase knockout (GM3.5(-/-)) mice. A cartilage degradation model and transiently GM3S-transfected chondrocytes were analyzed to evaluate the function of gangliosides in OA development. The amount of each series of GSLs in chondrocytes after IL-1 alpha stimulation was profiled using mass spectrometry (MS). Results: OA changes in GM3.5(-/-) mice were dramatically enhanced with aging compared to those in wildtype (WT) mice. GM3.5(-/-) mice showed more severe instability-induced pathologic OA in vivo. Ganglioside deficiency also led to the induction of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 and ADAMTS-5 secretion and chondrocyte apoptosis in vitro. In contrast, transientGM3.5(-/-) transfection of chondrocytes suppressed MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 expression after interleukin (IL)-1 alpha stimulation. GSL profiling revealed the presence of abundant gangliosides in chondrocytes after IL-1 alpha stimulation. Conclusion: Gangliosides play a critical role in OA pathogenesis by regulating the expression of MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 and chondrocyte apoptosis. Based on the obtained results, we propose that gangliosides are potential target molecules for the development of novel OA treatments. (C) 2013 Osteoarthritis Research Society International.
