Abstract: BACKGROUND:Collagen receptors are characterized by binding to and being activated by collagens. We know little about the molecular mechanism by which the integrins and discoidin domains (DDRs) recognize collagen. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of two main collagen receptor subfamilies, integrins and DDRs, during osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenehymal stem cells (hMSCs). METHODS:Using qRT-PCR, Western blots and FACS, the levels of DDR1, DDR2, integrin subunits β1, α1, α2, α10 and α11 receptors on hMSCs, were assessed upon activation by collagen type I, as well as during osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. RESULTS:The expression of DDR2 and integrin α11β1 was altered compared with other receptors when the cells were cultured under undifferentiated conditions. During osteogenic and chondrogenetic differentiation, DDR2 and α11 were up-regulated during early stages (6 day) of osteogenesis and chondrogenesis, respectively. The expression and activation of DDR2 was concomitant with another receptor integrin subunit β1 during osteogenetic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS:The results suggested that DDR2 was more specific for osteogenesis than chondrogenesis, while integrin α11β1 was more specific in chondrogenesis. DDR2 and α11 may play a role in the regulation of osteogenesis and chondrogenesis based on the differential expression of these receptors during lineage-dependent changes.
