Mechanical stimulation of chondrocytes regulates HIF-1α under hypoxic conditions

We investigated the effects of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α on articular cartilage under mechanical stimulation and the associated mechanisms. Chondrocytes, isolated from articular cartilage from the knee, hip, and shoulder joints of Wistar rats, were subjected to 20 % tensile stress under hypoxic (5% O2) conditions for 24 h. HIF-1α and aggrecan expression was significantly enhanced with mechanical stimulation under hypoxia but not significantly altered with mechanical stimulation under normoxia. The nuclear translocation of HIF-1α was enhanced by mechanical stress under hypoxia. Under both normoxia and hypoxia, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAM-TS) 5 expression was significantly reduced with mechanical stimulation compared to that in the group without mechanical stimulation. However, HIF-1α knockdown mitigated changes in aggrecan and ADAM-TS5 expression mediated by mechanical stimulation under hypoxia. The effects of treadmill running on HIF-1α production in the articular cartilage of rat knee joints were also analyzed. HIF-1α production increased in the moderate running group and decreased to the same levels as those in the control group in the excessive running group. This suggests that HIF-1α regulates aggrecan and ADAM-TS5 expression in response to mechanical stimulation under hypoxia and general mechanical stimulation in articular cartilage under hypoxia, while controlling cartilage homeostasis.
