Abstract
Introduction
Adhesive Capsulitis, also known as Frozen Shoulder (1), pericapsulitis and periarthritis (2) is a common disease of unclear cause and significant morbidity (3). It is characterized by pain and a progressive loss of both active and passive range of motion. These symptoms can last up to 2 years or longer (4,5). Patients who underwent the arthroscopic capsular release procedure experienced significant reductions in pain, improvements in range of motion (6).
It has long been recognized that glucose and lipid metabolism disorders have a close association with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. Although the incidence in the general population is <2% (7,8), the incidence is about 10% in Type I diabetics and up to 29% in Type II diabetics (9–11). Sung et al (12) demonstrated that hypercholesterolemia and inflammatory lipoproteinemias, especially hyper-low-density lipoproteinemia and hyper-non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, may contribute to the development of primary idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. Won et al (13) demonstrates that the anterior-inferior capsular portion is the main pathologic site of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis and reveals significant correlations with metabolic parameters on 18F-FDG PET/CT.
The diagnostic criteria, which still holds true today, was initially described by Codman (14) in 1934 based upon the recognition of selective restriction of passive external rotation with pain. The macroscopic and histological features of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis indicate that it is mediated by an inflammatory process (2,15), fibrotic process (16–21), or inflammatory process with subsequent reactive capsular fibrosis (22). However, the underlying pathological processes and molecular pathogenesis remain poorly understood (23).
Due to the lack of understanding of the causes of this disease, current treatment involves mainly relieving symptoms. We conducted a transcriptional analysis of samples from patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis and compared them with control healthy samples, in order to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the pathogenesis of this disease. Thus, to test this hypothesis and further understand this disease, we conducted a transcriptional analysis.
Materials and methods
To acquire broader and deeper insights into the mechanisms of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis development, we performed RNA-seq on five idiopathic adhesive capsulitis samples (part of shoulder capsule, subacromial bursa and synovial) and two matched adjacent normal tissues (some part of the shoulder capsule, subacromial bursa and synovial from the acromioclavicular dislocation patients).
RNA-seq and quality analysis of raw data
Each subject signed the informed consent form before participating in our study. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University and was conducted in conformity with the guidelines outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki statement. After obtaining the written informed consent, tissue samples for genetic analysis were obtained from the idiopathic adhesive capsulitis patients and control subjects.
The RNA extraction method was followed by the article (24), then the mRNA is enriched using oligo (dT) magnetic beads after incubating total issue samples with DNase I. Then the mRNA was fragmented into short fragments which were then used to synthesize the cDNA by using random hexamer-primer, Buffer, dNTPs, RNase H, and DNA polymerase I. Following cDNA purification, end repair, 3′-end single nucleotide A (adenine) addition, and sequencing adaptors ligation, we performed PCR amplification. RNA sequencing was performed via Illumina HiSeq™ 2000 after the QC step by using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and ABI Step One Plus Real-Time PCR System. Primary sequencing data produced by Illumina HiSeq™ 2000 were subjected to quality control (QC) methods. Before data analysis, we removed the dirty raw reads, which contain adapter sequences, high content of unknown bases, and low quality reads.
Calculation of expression values and identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs)
First, we used Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) (25) and Bowtie software (v2.3.0) (26) to map clean reads to genome reference. Secondly, we used RSEM (27) to quantify gene expression level followed by FPKM (28) method to calculate expression level. We calculated FPKM value for normalization. The Hg19 version of the human genome reference was used in the present study.
Thirdly, we used Noiseq package method (29) to find differentially expressed genes using the following criteria: Fold change ≥2 and diverge probability ≥0.8. Noiseq is available at http://bioinfo.cipf.es/noiseq or Bioconductor.
Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis
Gene Ontology analysis was performed with QuickGO, which is a web-based tool for Gene Ontology annotations. Moreover, we performed the Biological Process (BP), Cell Component (CC) and Molecular Function (MF) enrichment analysis.
QuickGO (30) was used to conduct GO functional annotation and enrichment analysis of DEGs. The enrichment analysis by the hypergeometric test was done to test whether a GO term is statistically enriched for the given set of genes. KEGG (31), the major public pathway-related database, was used to perform pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs.
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis
STRING (Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins) (32) was used to predict protein-protein interactions.
Cytoscape analysis
Cytoscape is a software for visualizing complex networks and integrating these with any type of attribute data. STRING (Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins) provides protein-protein interactions data and cytoscape visualization.
Results
Identification of DEGs
Our previous clinical work found that patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis have a huge number of thick fibrous adhesive bands generated by the proliferation of fibrous connective tissue formed in the shoulder joint capsule (Fig. 1A left, the yellow arrows show the adhesive band being ablated by radio frequency). After arthroscopic release and debridement of these adhesive bands (Fig. 1A right), symptoms of limited mobility and shoulder pain has significantly improved. Our previous clinical work found that patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis show increased areas of bright red synovium. The synovium, which is rich in blood vessels, is more fragile and bleeds easier when touched than normal synovium (Fig. 1B left). After arthroscopic debridement of the synovium with blood vessels (Fig. 1B right), the symptoms of shoulder pain are significantly relieved.
We generated an average of 12,899,579 clean reads, and 88.17% of the reads mapped to the human genome (Table I). After a series of analyses (see Materials and methods), 188 genes were identified as differentially expressed gene (DEG) compared to control sample according to our criteria (P>0.7, abs (log2 (case/control))>=1) (Table II).
Gene ontology analysis
We analyzed gene ontology using up to 10 significantly enriched terms in BP, CC, and MF categories, respectively. The cut-off of P-value was set to 0.05, and terms under the same category were ordered by P-values. The terms on the left side are more significant. Information on the percentage and number of involved genes/proteins in a term are shown on the left and right y-axis (Fig. 2). There are 1,802 biological processes (BPs) that are statistically significant among the whole enriched dataset of 3,309 BPs (Fig. 3). There are 318 cell components (CCs) enriched for this dataset and 120 of those are statistically significant (Fig. 4). There are 443 molecular functions (MFs) were enriched for this dataset and among that, 178 are statistically significant (Fig. 5).
Pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs
The 188 differentially expressed genes were found to be involved in 143 KEGG terms, such as PPAR signaling pathway, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoclast differentiation, regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes, p53 signaling pathway, and so on (Table III).
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis
Protein-protein interaction analysis by STRING database and cytoscape web application provided 4 levels of functional analysis: Fold change of gene/protein, protein-protein interaction, KEGG pathway enrichment, and biological process enrichment (Fig. 6).
Discussion
Idiopathic adhesive capsulitis is a common disease of unclear cause and significant morbidity, which can last up to 2 years and longer. The diagnosis is still based upon the recognition of the characteristic features initially described by Codman (14) in 1934. The macroscopic and histological features of the idiopathic adhesive capsulitis have been described, but the underlying pathological processes and molecular pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Therefore, the identification and functional analysis of specific expression genes involved in idiopathic adhesive capsulitis are necessary to elucidate the disease molecular pathogenesis and the strategies of precision medicine in idiopathic adhesive capsulitis.
The use of RNA-seq to assess the level of gene expression of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis is novel in the field of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis research. Cohen et al (33) observed that the synovium/capsule samples from the patients with adhesive capsulitis had significantly higher TNC and FN1 expression than those from the controls. They targeted the following proteins; TGFβ1, TGFβR1, LOX, PLOD1, PLOD2, COMP, FN1, TNC, TNXB, B2 M and HPRT1 (34). We did not find these genes elevated or changed in our RNA-seq study.
In the present study, we identified a total of 188 genes to be differentially expressed. These code for proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family (MMP-9, MMP19, ADAMTS), serum amyloid A1 (SAA1), glutathione S-transferase θ 1 (GSTT1), myosin heavy chain family (MYH1, MYH2), amphiregulin (AREG), major histocompatibility complex (HLA-DRB4), interleukin 6 (IL6), and CD248 molecules.
Matrix turnover is a dynamic equilibrium between synthesis and degradation and controlled by Matrix metalloproteinases and other related proteins. Disruption of this equilibrium may lead to fibrosis (35). The using of MMP inhibitors in clinical trials, reported to be associated with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis, rapidly resolved after cessation of therapy (36). Johnston et al (37) found that the level of MMP19 in the Dupuytren's nodule is increased compared to cord, while the level of ADAMTS is decreased. The dynamic equilibrium turnover of extracellular matrix can be catalyzed by matrix metalloproteinases and other related enzymes at neutral pH (38). A previous study showed that the levels of MMP-8 and −9 in the systemic circulation are representative of the levels of these enzymes in the inflamed joint, and suggested that MMP-9 and MMP-1 may be involved in degradation of the joint collagen (39).
The IL6 gene encodes a cytokine that acts as a mediator in inflammatory and immune responses. The SAA1 gene encodes a member of the serum amyloid family of apolipoproteins. These differentially expressed genes are reported to be associated with chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, which suggest that idiopathic adhesive capsulitis is an inflammatory condition. These findings are similar to those of Kabbabe et al (40) and Asleh et al (41).
The GO enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs are enriched for a total of 3309 BP terms, 318 CC terms, and 443 MF terms. Among these, 1802 BPs, 120 CCs, and 178 MFs are statistically significant. The top 10 BPs mainly referred to various processes including those related to to the muscular system and actin-mediated cell contraction. The top 10 CCs are mostly located in the extracellular region. The top 10 MFs mainly are related to protein binding, cytokine activity, and oxygen transporter activity.
The KEGG signaling pathway analysis showed that the DEGs are possibly involved in 179 pathways including pathways related PPAR signaling, regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes, circadian rhythm, Phagosomes, p53 signaling, malaria, bladder cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, African trypanosomiasis, and osteoclast differentiation.
PPAR signaling pathway plays an important role not only in the regulation of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism but also in many signaling pathways (immunity, inflammation, apoptosis and cell differentiation) (42,43). Many studies have found that PPAR signaling pathway is involved in many diseases related to prolonged nutrient excess such as type II diabetes, hyperlipoproteinemia, and hyperalphalipoproteinemia (44). Growing evidence suggests that idiopathic adhesive capsulitis is associated with glucose and lipid metabolic diseases, but not much is known beyond this correlation. Our study found that PPAR signaling pathway and fatty acid degradation might play a significant role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis.
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption. NFATC2, FOSB, FOSL2, FOSL1, and FCGR3B are expressed at higher levels in disease samples than in control samples. This suggests that bone resorption is enhanced in idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. This is consistent with some studies (45–47) looking at bone mineral density of the shoulder joint in idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. Waldburger et al (48) obtained satisfactory results after treatment with calcitonin to increase bone mass.
We also performed protein-protein interaction analysis with PPAR signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoclast differentiation (Fig. 5) and found that MMP-9 seems to be a node that directly or indirectly connects these pathways. The down regulation of MMP-9, which is a protein involved in the degradation of extracellular matrix collagen, leads to degeneration of collagen accumulation, which can facilitate development of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. Further investigations are necessary to validate the molecular mechanism (s) underlying the development of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis and its link to glucose or lipid metabolism disorders.
Meanwhile, in the present study, the differentially expressed genes were found to be involved in the regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes. Currently, some articles reported that idiopathic adhesive capsulitis is significantly correlated with diabetes mellitus (49) and hyperlipidaemia (50). A nationwide population-based cohort study (49) found that hyperlipidemia is an independent risk factor for idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. In addition, hyperlipidemia can have cumulative detrimental effects to tendon properties. For example, some studies have revealed that the risk of rotator cuff disease is increased in patients with hypercholesterolemia (51) and can eventually lead to secondary idiopathic adhesive capsulitis (52). Moreover, patients taking hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors have an increased risk of shoulder stiffness (53) that may predispose these patients to idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. Proteins such as adiponectin, leptin, resistin, and adipokines, which are normally involved in metabolism, have recently been implicated in the development of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis, as reviewed by Gómez et al (54) and Schäffler et al (55). Leptin has been shown to have proinflammatory and catabolic roles in OA (54,56,57). Thus, idiopathic adhesive capsulitis may correlate with the metabolism in adipose tissue. Adiponectin in human synovial fibroblasts appear to act as a mediator of arthritis pathophysiology. Based on these observations, we presume that proliferation of synovium and fibrosis of shoulder capsule is because of the metabolic abnormalities in lipids.
In conclusion, this is a novel study investigating the transcriptome of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. The data have provided important insights into the transcriptional regulation of gene expression. We found 24 genes to be downregulated and 147 genes to be up-regulated in disease tissues vs. controls, and this finding may be used to identify therapeutic targets. However, it is still necessary to validate the DEGs identified in this study in large patient populations and elucidate their specific functions in the pathogenesis of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis.
