More Details: Objective: To identify factors contributing to sex-differences in OA risk by evaluating the short-term effect of high-fat (HF) diet on sex-specific changes in cartilage cell proliferation, ribosomal biogenesis, and targeted extra-cellular and cellular protein abundance. Materials and methods: Knee cartilage was harvested to the subchondral bone from 20-week-old female and male C57BL/6J mice fed a low-fat or HF diet for 4 weeks and labeled with deuterium oxide for 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, or 21 days. Deuterium enrichment was quantified in isolated DNA and RNA to measure cell proliferation and ribosomal biogenesis, respectively. Protein concentration was measured using targeted high resolution accurate mass spectrometry. Results: HF diet increased the maximal deuterium incorporation into DNA from approximately 40 to 50%, albeit at a slower rate. These findings, which were magnified in female versus male mice, indicate a greater number of proliferating cells with longer half-lives under HF diet conditions. HF diet caused distinct sex-dependent effects on deuterium incorporation into RNA, increasing the fraction of ribosomes undergoing biogenesis in male mice and doubling the rate of ribosome biogenesis in female mice. HF diet altered cartilage protein abundance similarly in both sexes, except for matrilin-3, which was more abundant in HF versus LF conditions in female mice only. Overall, HF diet treatment had a stronger effect than sex on cartilage protein abundance, with most changes involving extracellular matrix and matrix-associated proteins. Conclusions: Short-term HF diet broadly altered cartilage matrix protein abundance, while sex-dependent effects primarily involved differences in cell proliferation and ribosomal biogenesis.
