Hydrostatic pressure (HP) has a profound effect on cartilage metabolism in normal and pathological conditions, especially in weight-bearing areas of the skeletal system. As an important component of overall load, HP has been shown to affect the synthetic capacity and well-being of chondrocytes, depending on the mode, duration and magnitude of pressure. In this study we examined the effect of continuous HP on the gene expression profile of a chondrocytic cell line (HCS-2/8) using a cDNA array containing 588 well-characterized human genes under tight transcriptional control. A total of 51 affected genes were identified, many of them not previously associated with mechanical stimuli. Among the significantly up-regulated genes were immediate-early genes, and genes involved in heat-shock response (hsp70, hsp40, hsp27), and in growth arrest (GADD45, GADD153, p21(Cip1/Waf1), tob). Markedly down-regulated genes included members of the Id family genes (dominant negative regulators of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors), and cytoplasmic dynein light chain and apoptosis-related gene NIP3. These alterations in the expression profile induce a transient heat-shock gene response and activation of genes involved in growth arrest and cellular adaptation and/or differentiation.
