Thiram-induced tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) and vitamin-D deficiency rickets are avian bone disorders of different etiologies characterized by abnormal chondrocyte differentiation, enlarged and unvascularized growth plates, and lameness. Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a proangiogenic factor in mammalian tissues and in tumors; therefore, Hsp90 inhibitors were developed as antiangiogenic factors. In this study, we evaluated the association between Hsp90, hypoxia, and angiogenesis in the chick growth plate. Administration of the Hsp90 inhibitor to TD- and rickets-afflicted chicks at the time of induction resulted in reduction in growth-plate size and, contrary to its antiangiogenic effect in tumors, a major invasion of blood vessels occurred in the growth plates. This was the result of upregulation of the VEGF receptor Flk-1, the major rate-limiting factor of vascularization in TD and rickets. In addition, the abnormal chondrocyte differentiation, as characterized by collagen type II expression and alkaline phosphatase activity, and the changes in hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α) in both disorders were restored. All these changes resulted in prevention of lameness. Inhibition of Hsp90 activity reduced growth-plate size, increased vascularization, and mitigated lameness also in TD chickswith established lesions. In summary, this is the first reported demonstration of involvement of Hsp90 in chondrocyte differentiation and growth-plate vascularization. In contrast to the antiangiogenic effect of Hsp90 inhibitors observed in mammals, inhibition of Hsp90 activity in the unvascularized TD- and rickets-afflicted chicks resulted in activation of the angiogenic switch and reinstated normal growthplate morphology. © 2011 the American Physiological Society.
