چکیده

INTRODUCTION: We recently suggested that chondrocytes that are metabolically most active may make the tissue in which they reside more susceptible to undergo proteoglycan (PG)-depletion following exposure to cytokines and related factors [1]. Using chondrocytes maintained in alginate gel, we also have observed that the metabolically active cell-associated matrix (CM) is more susceptible to interleukin-1 (IL-1)-induced PG depletion than the more voluminous but less metabolically active further removed matrix (FRM) [2]. Articular cartilage exposed to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) molecules present on the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, undergoes rapid depletion of proteoglycans (PGs), both in vitro [3] and in vivo [4]. LPS is one of the major factors playing a role in the pathogenesis of septic arthritis and lyme arthritis [5]. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether these effects upon the metabolism of chondrocytes also apply when hyperactive chondrocytes are exposed to LPS.

Protective Effects of Interleukin-4 on Tissue Destruction and Morphological Changes of Bovine Nasal Chondrocytes in vitro

Background: Previous studies have shown that some cytokines have protective effects on cartilage in joint diseases. In the current study, effects of IL-4 against morphological changes and tissue degradation induced by IL-1α on bovine nasal cartilage (BNC) explants were investigated. Methods: Fresh BNC samples were prepared from a slaughterhouse under sterile conditions. BNC explants culture was...

Study of Chondrogenic Effects of Chondrocytes Cocultured With Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Purpose: Co-culture systems of marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs) with mature chondrocytes have theoretically been considered as a putative way of MSCs chondrogenic differentiation. MSCs differentiated in this system could be used for transplantation purpose without of any need to their purification since the cells with which MSCs are co cultured are native cartilage cells. Despite o...

High Quality of Infant Chondrocytes in Comparison with Adult Chondrocytes for Cartilage Tissue Engineering

BACKGROUND Tissue engineering is used for the treatment of many diseases, and the ideal cell source for cartilage tissue engineering is chondrocytes. The main limitation of chondrocyte is the low number of cells in cartilage tissue engineering. This study investigated a suitable cell source with high proliferation rate to obtain a large number of chondrocytes. METHODS Adult cartilage t...

Combination Effects of Prednisolone and Interleukin-4 Protect Bovine Nasal Cartilage Explants from Interleukin-1α Induced Degradation

Background: Current treatments for joint diseases are moderately successful, but unfortunately are associated with significant side effects. This study was undertaken to investigate the combination effects of IL-4 and prednisolone on tissue characteristics and production of matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1) in IL-lα-treated bovine nasal cartilage (BNC) explants. Methods: BNC explants were cultu...
