Osteoarthritis biomarkers and uses thereof
a biomarker and osteoarthritis technology, applied in the field of identification and selection of novel biomarkers, can solve the problems of chondrocytes having a very limited ability to up-regulate their anabolic activity, affecting the efficiency of treatment regimens, and affecting the quality of life of chondrocytes, so as to improve the effect of treatment regimens, prevent, treat, manage and/or ameliorate osteoarthritis

Microarray Construction
[0566] An array according to one aspect of the invention was constructed as follows.
[0567] PCR products (˜40 ul) of cDNA clones from OA cartilage cDNA libraries, in the same 96-well tubes used for amplification, are precipitated with 4 ul (1 / 10 volume) of 3M sodium acetate (pH 5.2) and 100 ul (2.5 volumes) of ethanol and stored overnight at −20° C. They are then centrifuged at 3,300 rpm at 4° C. for 1 hour. The obtained pellets were washed with 50 ul ice-cold 70% ethanol and centrifuged again for 30 minutes. The pellets are then air-dried and resuspended well in 50% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or 20 ul 3×SSC overnight. The samples are then deposited either singly or in duplicate onto Gamma Amino Propyl Silane (Corning CMT-GAPS or CMT-GAP2, Catalog No. 40003, 40004) or polylysine-coated slides (Sigma Cat. No. P0425) using a robotic GMS 417 or 427 arrayer (Affymetrix, CA). The boundaries of the DNA spots on the microarray are marked with a diamond scriber. The i...

RNA Isolation
from Whole Blood
[0569] 100 ul whole blood is obtained in a microcentrifuge tube and spun at 2,000 rpm (800 g) for 5 min at 4° C. and the supernatant removed. Pelleted cells are homogenized using TRIzol® (GIBCO / BRL) in a ratio of approximately 6 μl of TRIzol® for every 10 μl of the original blood sample and vortexed well. Samples are left for 5 minutes at room temperature. RNA is extracted using 12 μl of chloroform per 10 μl of TRIzol®. Sample is centrifuged at 12,000×g for 5 minutes at 4° C. and upper layer is collected. To upper layer, isopropanol is added in ratio of 5 μl per 10 μl of TRIzol®. Sample is left overnight at −20° C. or for one hour at −20° C. RNA is pelleted in accordance with known methods, RNA pellet air dried, and pellet resuspended in DEPC treated ddH2O. RNA samples can also be stored in 75% ethanol where the samples are stable at room temperature for transportation.

Target Nucleic Acid Preparation and Hybridization
Preparation of Fluorescent DNA Probe from mRNA
[0572] Fluorescently labeled target nucleic acid samples of RNA are prepared for analysis with an array of the invention.
[0573] 1 μg Oligo-dT primers are annealed to 10 ug of total RNA isolated from blood from patient diagnosed with osteoarthritis or suspected of having osteoarthritis in a total volume of 10 ul, by heating to 70° C. for 10 min, and cooled on ice. The mRNA is reverse transcribed by incubating the sample at 42° C. for 40 min in a 25 μl volume containing a final concentration of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3), 75 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 25 mM DTT, 25 mM unlabeled dNTPs, 400 units of Superscript II (200 U / uL, Gibco BRL), and 15 mM of Cy3 or Cy5 (Amersham). The reaction is stopped by the addition of 2.5 μl of 55500 mM EDTA and5 μl of 1M NaOH, and incubation at 65° C. for 10 min. The reaction mixture is neutralized by addition of 12.5 μl of 1M TrisHCl (pH7.6).
