摘要: The ultimate aim of this study was to assess the feasibility using human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) supplement meniscus for tissue engineering and regeneration. Human menisci were harvested from three patients undergoing total knee replacements. Meniscus released after collagenase treatment. BMSCs iliac crest expanded in culture until passage 2. Primary co-cultured vitro three-dimensional (3D) pellet at different cell–cell ratios 3 weeks under normal (21% O2) or low (3% oxygen tension presence serum-free chondrogenic medium. Pure pure cell pellets served as control groups. generated assessed biochemically, histochemically by quantitative RT–PCR. Co-cultures primary resulted with increased (1.3–1.7-fold) deposition proteoglycan (GAG) extracellular matrix (ECM) relative tissues derived alone 21% O2. GAG formation also enhanced (1.3–1.6-fold) 3% O2 conditions. Alcian blue staining confirmed GAG-rich matrix. mRNA expression type I collagen (COL1A2), II (COL2A1) aggrecan upregulated pellets. However, SOX9 HIF-1α not significantly modulated co-culture. Co-culture ECM formation. Co-delivery can, principle, be used regenerative medicine strategies repair defects.
