We have evaluated the potential of a three-dimensional (3D) thermoreversible gelation polymer (TGP) matrix in enhancing miRNA 140 expression (a biomarker correlating with homeostasis and cartilage regeneration) during the in vitro expansion of osteoarthritis (OA)-affected human chondrocytes.
OA-chondrocytes were cultured in two-dimensional (2D) monolayer followed by culture in 3D-TGP. miRNA 140 expression levels in cell culture supernatant followed by expression in the cell lysate of both 2D and 3D-TGP cultures were analyzed.
The expression of miRNA 140 in cell culture supernatant from the 3D-TGP group was 0.001 to 0.002% that in 2D culture supernatant while in the cell lysate, miRNA 140 expression in the 3D-TGP was nearly 30-fold higher than that of 2D group.
The 3D-TGP matrix allows enhanced expression of miRNA 140 in OA-affected human chondrocytes in vitro which after necessary validations can be applied in clinical transplantation to significantly improve the outcome.
我们评估了三维(3D)热可逆凝胶聚合物(TGP)基质在体外扩增骨关节炎(OA)患者软骨细胞过程中增强 miRNA 140 表达(与内稳态和软骨再生相关的生物标志物)的潜力。
OA 软骨细胞先在二维(2D)单层中培养,然后在 3D-TGP 中培养。分析细胞培养上清液中 miRNA 140 的表达水平,然后分析 2D 和 3D-TGP 培养物细胞裂解物中的表达。
3D-TGP 组细胞培养上清液中 miRNA 140 的表达水平为 0.001 至 0.002%,而在细胞裂解物中,3D-TGP 中的 miRNA 140 表达水平比 2D 组高近 30 倍。
3D-TGP 基质可增强 OA 患者体外软骨细胞中 miRNA 140 的表达,经过必要的验证后可应用于临床移植,显著改善治疗效果。
