Proteomic analysis profile of engineered articular cartilage with chondrogenic differentiated adipose tissue-derived stem cells loaded polyglycolic acid mesh for weight-bearing area defect repair.

ABSTRACT: The present study was designed to investigate the possibility of full-thickness defects repair in porcine articular cartilage (AC) weight-bearing area using chondrogenic differentiated autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) with a follow-up of 3 and 6 months, which is successive to our previous study on nonweight-bearing area. The isolated ASCs were seeded onto the phosphoglycerate/polylactic acid (PGA/PLA) with chondrogenic induction in vitro for 2 weeks as the experimental group prior to implantation in porcine AC defects (8?mm in diameter, deep to subchondral bone), with PGA/PLA only as control. With follow-up time being 3 and 6 months, both neo-cartilages of postimplantation integrated well with the neighboring normal cartilage and subchondral bone histologically in experimental group, whereas only fibrous tissue in control group. Immunohistochemical and toluidine blue staining confirmed similar distribution of COL II and glycosaminoglycan in the regenerated cartilage to the native one. A vivid remolding process with repair time was also witnessed in the neo-cartilage as the compressive modulus significantly increased from 70% of the normal cartilage at 3 months to nearly 90% at 6 months, which is similar to our former research. Nevertheless, differences of the regenerated cartilages still could be detected from the native one. Meanwhile, the exact mechanism involved in chondrogenic differentiation from ASCs seeded on PGA/PLA is still unknown. Therefore, proteome is resorted leading to 43 proteins differentially identified from 20 chosen two-dimensional spots, which do help us further our research on some committed factors. In conclusion, the comparison via proteome provided a thorough understanding of mechanisms implicating ASC differentiation toward chondrocytes, which is further substantiated by the present study as a perfect supplement to the former one in nonweight-bearing area.

Project description:Symptomatic osteoarthritic lesions span large regions of joint surfaces and the ability to engineer cartilage constructs at clinically relevant sizes would be highly desirable. We previously demonstrated that nutrient transport limitations can be mitigated by the introduction of channels in 10 mm diameter cartilage constructs. In this study, we scaled up our previous system to cast and cultivate 40 mm diameter constructs (2.3 mm overall thickness); 4 mm diameter and channeled 10 mm diameter constructs were studied for comparison. Furthermore, to assess whether prior results using primary bovine cells are applicable for passaged cells-a more clinically realistic scenario-we cast constructs of each size with primary or twice-passaged cells. Constructs were assessed mechanically for equilibrium compressive Young's modulus (EY), dynamic modulus at 0.01 Hz (G*), and friction coefficient (μ); they were also assessed biochemically, histologically, and immunohistochemically for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and collagen contents. By maintaining open channels, we successfully cultured robust constructs the size of entire human articular cartilage layers (growing to ∼52 mm in diameter, 4 mm thick, mass of 8 g by day 56), representing a 100-fold increase in scale over our 4 mm diameter constructs, without compromising their functional properties. Large constructs reached EY of up to 623 kPa and GAG contents up to 8.9%/ww (% of wet weight), both within native cartilage ranges, had G* >2 MPa, and up to 3.5%/ww collagen. Constructs also exhibited some of the lowest μ reported for engineered cartilage (0.06-0.11). Passaged cells produced tissue of lower quality, but still exhibited native EY and GAG content, similar to their smaller controls. The constructs produced in this study are, to our knowledge, the largest engineered cartilage constructs to date which possess native EY and GAG, and are a testament to the effectiveness of nutrient channels in overcoming transport limitations in cartilage tissue engineering.

Project description:BackgroundCartilage defects result in joint inflammation. The presence of proinflammatory factors has been described to negatively affect cartilage formation.PurposeTo evaluate the effect and timing of administration of triamcinolone acetonide (TAA), an anti-inflammatory drug, on cartilage repair using a mouse model.Study designControlled laboratory study.MethodsA full-thickness cartilage defect was created in the trochlear groove of 10-week-old male DBA/1 mice (N = 80). Mice received an intra-articular injection of TAA or saline on day 1 or 7 after induction of the defect. Mice were euthanized on days 10 and 28 for histological evaluation of cartilage defect repair, synovial inflammation, and synovial membrane thickness.ResultsMice injected with TAA had significantly less synovial inflammation at day 10 than saline-injected mice independent of the time of administration. At day 28, the levels of synovitis dropped toward healthy levels; nevertheless, the synovial membrane was thinner in TAA- than in saline-injected mice, reaching statistical significance in animals injected on day 1 (70.1 ± 31.9 µm vs 111.9 ± 30.9 µm, respectively; P = .01) but not in animals injected on day 7 (68.2 ± 21.86 µm vs 90.2 ± 21.29 µm, respectively; P = .26). A thinner synovial membrane was moderately associated with less filling of the defect after 10 and 28 days (r = 0.42, P = .02; r = 0.47, P = .01, respectively). Whereas 10 days after surgery there was no difference in the area of the defect filled and the cell density in the defect area between saline- and TAA-injected knees, filling of the defect at day 28 was lower in TAA- than in saline-injected knees for both injection time points (day 1 injection, P = .04; day 7 injection, P = .01). Moreover, there was less collagen type 2 staining in the filled defect area in TAA- than in saline-injected knees after 28 days, reaching statistical significance in day 1-injected knees (2.6% vs 18.5%, respectively; P = .01) but not in day 7-injected knees (7.4% vs 15.8%, respectively; P = .27).ConclusionIntra-articular injection of TAA reduced synovial inflammation but negatively affected cartilage repair. This implies that inhibition of inflammation may inhibit cartilage repair or that TAA has a direct negative effect on cartilage formation.Clinical relevanceOur findings show that TAA can inhibit cartilage defect repair. Therefore, we suggest not using TAA to reduce inflammation in a cartilage repair setting.
