Quantitative Analysis of the Proliferation and Differentiation of Rat Articular Chondrocytes in Alginate 3D Culture
Background: While articular chondrocytes are among those appropriate candidates for cartilage regeneration, the cell dedifferentiation during monolayer culture has limited their application. Several investigations have indicated the usefulness of alginate, but the topic of proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes in alginate culture has still remained controversial. Methods: Rat articu...
متن کاملStudy of Differentiation Potential of the Dedifferentiated Chondrocytes From Rat Articular Cartilage into Skeletal Cell Lineages
Purpose: Dedifferentiation of the chondrocyte from rat articular cartilage with multiple subcultures and study of the redifferentiation potential of the cells into bone, cartilage and fat cell lineages. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, chondrocytes from rat articular cartilage were isolated and expanded through several successive subcultures during which the expression levels ...
متن کاملEfficient, Low-Cost Nucleofection of Passaged Chondrocytes
Nucleofection of chondrocytes has been shown to be an adequate method of transfection. Using Amaxa's nucleofection system, transfection efficiencies up to 89% were achievable for vector (pmaxGFP) and 98% for siRNA (siGLO) into passaged chondrocytes. However, such methods rely on costly commercial kits with proprietary reagents limiting its use in basic science labs and in clinical translation. ...
متن کاملCD147 (Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer-EMMPRIN) Expression by Human Articular Chondrocytes
Background: Integrins are a family of transmembrane proteins that allow communication between the extracellular matrix and the interior of cells. Chondrocytes, cells of articular cartilage, express integrins and these molecules appear to have a variety of roles including mechanotransduction. Integrins are known to associate with a number of accessory molecules such as CD147 that may act to regu...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix Microenvironment in Glioma Progression
Malignant gliomas are primary brain tumors, which are highly invasive but not known to metastasize outside the central nervous system (CNS). The median survival time of patients with glioma is only 6 months to 2 years depending on various patient, tumor and treatment parameters (Louis et al. 2007). The highly aggressive character of gliomas with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) being the most aggr...
