摘要
Mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes are an important source of the cells for cartilage tissue engineering. Therefore, the culture and expansion methods of these cells need to be improved to overcome the aging of chondrocytes and induced chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. The aim of this study was to expand the cells for cartilage tissue engineering by combining the advantages of growing cells in co-culture and under a mechanically-stimulated environment. Rabbit chondrocytes and co-cultured cells (bone mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes) were subjected to cyclic sinusoidal dynamic tensile mechanical stimulationusing the FX-4000 tension system. Chondrocyte proliferation was assayed by flow cytometry and CFSE labeling. The cell cartilage phenotype was determined by detecting GAG, collagen II and TGF-β1 protein expression by ELISA and the Col2α1, TGF-β1 and Sox9 gene expression by RT-PCR. The results show that the co-culture improved both the proliferation ability of chondrocytes and the cartilage phenotype of co-cultured cells. A proper cyclic sinusoidal dynamic tensile mechanical stimulation improved the proliferation ability and cartilage phenotype of chondrocytes and co-cultured cells. These results suggest that the co-culture of mesenchymal stem cells with chondrocytes and proper mechanical stimulation may be an appropriate way to rapidly expand the cells that have an improved cartilage phenotype for cartilage tissue engineering.
