Objective: To explore the role of WNT family member 1 (WNT1) in the development of dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and the molecular mechanism involved in this process.  Methods : Si-WNT1, pcDNA3.1-WNT1 or corresponding negative controls were transfected into human osteoblast hFOB1.19 and human chondrocyte C28/I2, respectively. The proliferation of cells was measured by EdU assay. The relative expressions of human noggin gene (NOG), growth differentiating factor 5 (GDF5), WNT1, and WNT1-inducible-signaling pathway protein 2 (WISP2) were determined by immunofluorescence analysis. The protein expressions of RNA-binding protein of multiple splice forms 2 (RBPMS2), NOG, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), BMP4, WNT1 and WISP2 were determined by western blot. Animal experiment was also performed and the morphological development of hip joint was observed.  Results : Overexpression of WNT1 promoted osteoblast proliferation and inhibited chondrocyte proliferation, while knockdown of WNT1 inhibited osteoblast proliferation. In chondrocytes, knockdown of WNT1 upregulated NOG expression, while overexpression of WNT1 downregulated its expression. In osteoblasts and chondrocytes, overexpression of WNT1 increased BMP2, BMP4, WNT1, and WISP2 expression. RBPMS2 and NOG were slightly expressed in each group.  Conclusion : Overexpression of WNT1 promoted osteoblast proliferation, inhibited chondrocyte proliferation, and increased the expressions of BMP2, BMP4, WNT1, and WISP2. Therefore, WNT1 may be a new therapeutic target for DDH.

WNT1 expression influences the development of dysplasia of the hip via regulating RBPMS2/NOG-BMP2/4-GDF5- WISP2 pathway
