Preventive Effect of Hyaluronic Acid on the Suppression of Attachment and Migration Abilities of Bovine Chondrocytes by IL-1α in vitro

摘要

References(26) Cited-By(4) Attachment and migration of bovine chondrocytes cultured in vitro were significantly suppressed by the addition of interleukin (IL)-1α at the concentration of 1 ng/ml or more (p<0.05). The application of hyaluronic acid (HA) at the concentration of 10 μg/m l or more significantly recovered the attachment of chondrocytes (p<0.05) and the application of HA at 100 μg/ml concentration recovered the migration of chondrocytes suppressed by IL-1α. These results suggest that the application of HA for inflammatory arthropathies or chondrocyte transplantation might be helpful to preserve the properties of chondrocytes and its extracellular matrix against inflammatory conditions.
