Exogenous administration of the histone deacetylation 4 (HDAC4) protein can effectively delay osteoarthritis (OA) progression. However, HDAC4 is unstable and easily degrades into N-terminal (HDAC4-NT) and C-terminal fragments, and the HDAC4-NT can exert biological effects, but little is known about its role in chondrocytes and cartilage. Thus, the roles of HDAC4-NT fragments (1-289aa, 1-326aa and 1-669aa) in chondrocytes and cartilage were evaluated via real-time cell analysis (RTCA), safranin O staining, Sirius Red staining and nanoindentation. Molecular mechanisms were profiled via whole-transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) and verified in vitro and in vivo by a live cell real-time monitoring system, flow cytometry, western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that 1-669aa induced chondrocyte death and cartilage injury significantly, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched mainly in the apoptotic term and p53 signalling pathway. The validation experiments showed that 1-669aa induced chondrocyte apoptosis via the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) pathway, and up-regulated p53 expression was essential for this process. Thus, we concluded that the HDAC4-NT fragment 1-669aa induces chondrocyte apoptosis via the p53-dependent ERS pathway, suggesting that in addition to overexpressing HDAC4, preventing it from degradation may be a new strategy for the treatment of OA.
