PPP1R3A inhibits osteogenesis and negatively regulates intracellular calcium levels in calcific tendinopathy

Summary: Calcific tendinopathy (CT) is defined by the progressive accumulation of calcium crystals in tendonic regions that results in severe pain in patients. The etiology of CT is not fully elucidated. In this study, we elucidate the role of PPP1R3A in CT. A significant decrease in PPP1R3A express...

description Summary: Calcific tendinopathy (CT) is defined by the progressive accumulation of calcium crystals in tendonic regions that results in severe pain in patients. The etiology of CT is not fully elucidated. In this study, we elucidate the role of PPP1R3A in CT. A significant decrease in PPP1R3A expression was observed in CT patient tissues, which was further confirmed in tissues from a CT-induced rat model. Overexpression of PPP1R3A ex vivo reduced the expression of osteo/chondrogenic markers OCN and Sox9, improved tendon tissue architecture, and reduced intracellular Ca2+ levels. Overexpression of SERCA2 and knockdown of Piezo1 decreased expression of osteo/chondrogenic markers and intracellular calcium in PPP1R3A-knockdown tendon cells. Lastly, PPP1R3A expression was regulated at the posttranscriptional level by binding of HuR. Collectively, the present study indicates that PPP1R3A plays an important role in regulating calcium homeostasis in tendon cells via Piezo1/SERCA2, rendering it a promising target for therapeutic interventions of CT.
