INTRODUCTION Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are promising for cartilage regeneration because BMSCs can differentiate into cartilage tissue-producing chondrocytes. Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) is crucial for inducing chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs and is known to signal via Activin receptor-Like Kinase (ALK) receptors ALK5 and ALK1. Since the specific role of th...
INTRODUCTION: Transforming growth factorβ1(TGF) has been reported to influence the proliferation of chondrocytes and also stimulate proteoglycan synthesis. However, this chondrocyte’s response to TGF can be achieved through prolonged exposure to TGF. Therefore, a focal application of controlled releasing system remains attractive for enhancing chondrogenesis of tissue engineered constructs. Por...
Matrix remodeling of cells is highly regulated by proteases and their inhibitors. Nevertheless, how would the chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) be affected, when the balance of the matrix remodeling is disturbed by inhibiting matrix proteases, is incompletely known. Using a previously developed collagen microencapsulation platform, we investigated whether exposing chondrogenically...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and biological function of microRNA-92a (miR-92a) in chondrogenesis and cartilage degeneration. Human adipose‑derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) in micromass and chondrocyte‑like ATDC5 cells were induced to chondrogenesis, and primary human/mouse chondrocytes (PHCs/PMCs) and chondrogenic ATDC5 cells were stimulated with interleuk...
Electrical stimulation (ES) is known to guide the development and regeneration of many tissues. However, although preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated superior effects of ES on cartilage repair, the effects of ES on chondrogenesis remain elusive. Since mesenchyme stem cells (MSCs) have high therapeutic potential for cartilage regeneration, we investigated the actions of ES during ...
Endochondral bone formation begins with the development of a cartilage intermediate that is subsequently replaced by calcified bone. The mechanisms occurring during early chondrogenesis that control both mesenchymal cell differentiation into chondrocytes and cell proliferation are not clearly understood in vertebrates. Indian hedgehog (Ihh), one of the hedgehog signaling molecules, is known to ...
This study investigated the effect of mechanical load on human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) differentiation under different exogenous transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta(1)) concentrations (0, 1 or 10 ng/ml).The role of the TGF-beta signalling pathway in this process was also studied. Human MSCs were seeded into fibrin-biodegradable polyurethane scaffolds at a cell density of 5 x 10(6) c...
Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease, is an epidemic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite extensive recent work on the cellular biology of osteoarthritis, the precise mechanisms involved are still poorly understood and there is no effective treatment for this disease. The role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) in promo...
MIA/CD-RAP is a small, secreted protein involved in cartilage differentiation and melanoma progression. We recently revealed that p54(nrb) acts as a mediator of MIA/CD-RAP action to promote chondrogenesis and the progression of malignant melanoma. As the molecular mechanism of MIA/CD-RAP action in cartilage has not been defined in detail until now, we aimed to understand the regulation of p54(n...
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) induced towards chondrogenesis develop a pericellular matrix (PCM), rich in type VI collagen (ColVI) and proteoglycans such as decorin (DCN). Individual PCM protein functions still need to be elucidated to fully understand the mechanobiological role of this matrix. In this study we identified ColVI and DCN as important contributors in the mechanical function...
