This study was undertaken to determine the effects of IL-1 and TGF-1 on the expression of differentiation-associated genes in chondrocytes in vitro. Rat costal chondrocytes were exposed to different concentrations of IL-1 and TGF-1 for 48 h and tested for gene expression. IL-1 increased the expression of aggrecanase-1 and aggrecanase-2 and decreased the content of aggrecan and collagen II. Low concentration of TGF-1 decreased the expression of aggrecan and collagen II and increased the expression of aggrecanase-2. However, the level of aggrecanase-1 was significantly elevated in the presence of high concentration of TGF-1. IL-1 and TGF-1 show the ability to modulate the production of aggrecan and collagen II in chondrocytes in vitro.
本研究旨在确定 IL-1 和 TGF-1 对体外软骨细胞分化相关基因表达的影响。将大鼠肋软骨细胞暴露于不同浓度的 IL-1 和 TGF-1 中 48 小时,然后检测基因表达情况。结果表明,IL-1 增加了软骨素酶-1 和软骨素酶-2 的表达,降低了软骨素和 II 型胶原的含量。低浓度的 TGF-1 降低了软骨素和 II 型胶原的表达,增加了软骨素酶-2 的表达。然而,高浓度 TGF-1 存在时,软骨素酶-1 的水平显著升高。IL-1 和 TGF-1 表现出调节体外软骨细胞中软骨素和 II 型胶原产生的能力。
