Growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein 45? (GADD45?) is expressed in normal and early osteoarthritic articular cartilage. We recently reported that GADD45? enhances CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ? (C/EBP?) activation in vitro. This study was undertaken in order to determine whether GADD45? is expressed with C/EBP? in aging articular cartilage. We also investigated whether the synergistic expression of GADD45? and C/EBP? may be involved in the mechanism of chondrocyte senescence. Senescence-accelerated mice (SAMP1) were used as a model of aging. GADD45?, C/EBP?, and p21 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. A luciferase reporter assay using ATDC5 cells was performed in order to examine p21 as a target gene of the GADD45?/C/EBP? cascade. GADD45? exhibited increased expression in the aging articular cartilage of SAMP1 mice compared to that in control mice. The co-localization of GADD45? and C/EBP? was confirmed by double immunostaining. The synergistic mechanisms of GADD45? and C/EBP? on the gene regulation of p21, a molecule related to cellular senescence, were verified by a p21-luciferase reporter assay. Co-expression of C/EBP? and p21 was confirmed. These observations suggest that the synergism between GADD45? and C/EBP? may play an important role in cellular senescence in the aging articular cartilage.
