Effect of chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid on gene expression in a three-dimensional culture of chondrocytes.

چکیده
The effect of glycosaminoglycan addition on a three-dimensional (3D) culture of porcine chondrocyte cells was investigated with a view to use in cartilage regenerative medicine. Chondroitin sulfate C increased the mRNA expression of type 2 collagen, while chondroitin sulfate A did not. Hyaluronic acid of high molecular weight markedly decreased the mRNA expression of both aggrecan and type 2 collagen, although hyaluronic acid of low molecular weight showed no apparent effect.

Effect of vanadate on cartilage-matrix proteoglycan synthesis in rabbit costal chondrocyte cultures
The effect of vanadate on proteoglycan synthesis by cultured rabbit costal chondrocytes was examined. Rabbit chondrocytes were seeded at low densities and grown to confluency in medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, and then the serum concentration was reduced to 0.3%. At the low serum concentration, chondrocytes adopted a fibroblastic morphology. Addition of 4 microM vanadate to the...
متن کاملPKCa Agonists Enhance the Protective Effect of Hyaluronic Acid on Nitric Oxide-Induced Apoptosis of Articular Chondrocytes in Vitro
Objective(s): Protein kinase C (PKCα) is involved in modulating articular chondrocytes apoptosis induced by nitric oxide (NO). Hyaluronic acid (HA) inhibits nitric oxide-induced apoptosis of articular chondrocytes by protecting PKCα, but the mechanism remains unclear. The present study was performed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of PKCα regulate protective effect of hya...
متن کاملCostal Versus Articular Chondrocytes in Alginate Three-Dimensional Cultures
Given the difficulties in accessing articular cartilage as a source of chondrocytes to be used in fabricating cartilage constructs, alternative sources are required. The present study examined chondrocytes from costal cartilage for their suitability in cartilage tissue engineering. Chondrocytes isolated from rat knee and rib hyaline cartilage were separately mixed with alginate and placed in a ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Rosmarinic Acid in Neural Differentiation of Wartons Jelly-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Two Dimensional and Three Dimensional Cultures using Chitosan-based Hydrogel
Numerous studies have shown the positive effects of rosmarinic acid on the nervous system. Rosmarinic acid as a herbal compound with anti-inflammatory effects can prevent the destructive effect of inflammation on the nervous system. Furthermore, various studies have emphasized the advantages of three dimensional (3D) culture over the two dimensional (2D) culture of cells. In this study, thermos...
متن کاملCellular transformation and differentiation. Effect of Rous sarcoma virus transformation on sulfated proteoglycan synthesis by chicken chondrocytes.
Incorporation of sulfate into sulfated proteoglycans by isolated chicken chondrocytes was inhibited up to 74% by transformation with the Rous sarcoma virus, and a similar inhibitory effect was observed on acetate incorporation into chondroitin sulfate. Slower sedimenting sulfated proteoglycans appear after the viral transformation. The ratio of chondroitin 4-sulfate to chondroitin 6-sulfate in ...
