چکیده

OBJECTIVE Cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein 1 (CDMP1), which is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, is an essential molecule for the aggregation of mesenchymal cells and acceleration of chondrocyte differentiation. In this study, we investigated whether CDMP1-transfected autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells (BMMCs) enhance in vivo cartilage repair in a rabbit model. METHODS BMMCs, which had a fibroblastic morphology and pluripotency for differentiation, were isolated from bone marrow of the tibia of rabbits, grown in monolayer culture, and transfected with the CDMP1 gene or a control gene (GFP) by the lipofection method. The autologous cells were then implanted into full-thickness articular cartilage defects in the knee joints of each rabbit. RESULTS During in vivo repair of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, cartilage regeneration was enhanced by the implantation of CDMP1-transfected autologous BMMCs. The defects were filled by hyaline cartilage and the deeper zone showed remodelling to subchondral bone over time. The repair and reconstitution of zones of hyaline articular cartilage was superior to simple BMMC implantation. The histological score of the CDMP1-transfected BMMC group was significantly better than those of the control BMMC group and the empty control group. CONCLUSION Modulation of BMMCs by factors such as CDMP1 allows enhanced repair and remodelling compatible with hyaline articular cartilage.

Effects of cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein 1 (CDMP1) transgenic mesenchymal stem cell sheets in repairing rabbit cartilage defects.

The aim of this study was to investigate the abilities of cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein 1 (CDMP1) transgenic cell sheets in repairing rabbit cartilage defects. Rabbit CDMP1 transgenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) sheets (CDMP1-BMSCs) were cultured on temperature-sensitive culture dishes, and CDMP1 expression and type II collagen protein in the cell sheets were detected. Ti...

Repair of large full-thickness articular cartilage defects in the rabbit: the effects of joint distraction and autologous bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal cell transplantation.

We produced large full-thickness articular cartilage defects in 33 rabbits in order to evaluate the effect of joint distraction and autologous culture-expanded bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal cell transplantation (ACBMT) at 12 weeks. After fixing the knee on a hinged external fixator, we resected the entire surface of the tibial plateau. We studied three groups: 1) with and without joint distra...
