Embryonic stem cells form articular cartilage, not teratomas, in osteochondral defects of rat joints

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are considered to be a potential tool for repairing articular cartilage defects, but so far it has been impossible to cause these cells to differentiate into chondrocytes exclusively, either in vivo or in vitro. To explore a potential new cell source of cell transplantation for articular cartilage defects, we transplanted ES cells into articular cartilage defects in immunosuppressed rats. ES cells (AB2.2 or CCE cells) were transplanted into articular cartilage defects in the patellar groove of immunosuppressed rats treated with cyclosporine. The cells were histologically observed until 8 weeks after transplantation. To determine whether the repair tissue in the defect in the AB2.2-transplanted group was derived from the transplanted cells, the neomycin-resistant gene, which had been transfected into AB2.2 cells but does not exist in rat cells, was used for detection. The cells produced cartilage, resulting in repair of the defects from 4 weeks until 8 weeks after the transplantation without forming any teratomas. The neomycin-resistant gene was detected in every sample, demonstrating that the repair tissue in the AB2.2-transplanted group was derived from the transplanted AB2.2 cells. The environment of osteochondral defects is chondrogenic for ES cells. ES cells may thus be a potential tool for repairing articular cartilage defects.

Repair of chondral defects with allogenous chondrocyte-seeded hyaluronan/collagen II microspheres in a rabbit model

Using a recently established method to prepare hyaluronan/collagen II (HA/Col II) microspheres for a novel biomaterial to couple with living cells/tissues, this animal model study evaluated the effects on a 4-week healing process of chondral defects by the implantation of allogenous chondrocyte-seeded HA/Col II microspheres that had been cultured in vitro for 7 days prior to implantation compared with unseeded HA/Col II microspheres or an untreated wound. Four weeks postsurgery, the untreated group's defect was filled with translucent soft tissue. At the same time, the edges and demarcation lines of the healing defects that were implanted with either HA/Col II microspheres or chondrocyte-seeded HA/Col II microspheres were infused yet recognizable. Furthermore, the new tissues were well integrated into the surrounding articular cartilage. Less glycosaminoglycan (GAG) staining was observed in the defects implanted with HA/Col II microspheres, which indicated that most of the repair tissues were derived from fibrocartilage formation. Conversely, more GAG staining appeared in the defect implanted with chondrocyte-seeded HA/Col II microspheres, which demonstrated a higher level of hyaline cartilage regeneration. Due to the short healing period assigned to this study, the repaired cartilage showed limited incorporation into the surrounding host cartilage and some loose connection to the subchondral bone.

Repair of articular defects by perichondrial grafts. Experiments in the rabbit

A defect was created in the articular cartilage of the rabbit knee leaving the subchondral bone intact. The lesion was repaired by an autologous graft of costal perichondrium and fixed with fibrin glue. The result was compared with a nontreated defect in the contralateral knee. In 26 out of 30 knees, graft fixation proved to be adequate. In the grafted group the perichondrium developed macroscopically and histologically into normal hyaline cartilage. The nongrafted defects showed only limited repair.

Rabbit articular cartilage defects treated by allogenic chondrocyte transplantation

Articular cartilage defects have a poor capacity for repair. Most of the current treatment options result in the formation of fibro-cartilage, which is functionally inferior to normal hyaline articular cartilage. We studied the effectiveness of allogenic chondrocyte transplantation for focal articular cartilage defects in rabbits. Chondrocytes were cultured in vitro from cartilage harvested from the knee joints of a New Zealand White rabbit. A 3 mm defect was created in the articular cartilage of both knees in other rabbits. The cultured allogenic chondrocytes were transplanted into the defect in the right knees and closed with a periosteal flap, while the defects in the left knees served as controls and were closed with a periosteal flap alone, without chondrocytes. Healing of the defects was assessed at 12 weeks by histological studies. Allogenic chondrocyte transplantation significantly increased the amount of newly formed repair tissue (P=0.04) compared with that found in the control knees. The histological quality score of the repair tissue was significantly better (P=0.05), with more hyaline characteristics in the knees treated with allogenic chondrocytes than in the control knees. Articular cartilage defects treated with allogenic chondrocyte transplantation result in better repair tissue formation with hyaline characteristics than those in control knees.     

Spontaneous repair of full-thickness defects of articular cartilage in a goat model. A preliminary study

BACKGROUND: Full-thickness defects measuring 3 mm in diameter have been commonly used in studies of rabbits to evaluate new procedures designed to improve the quality of articular cartilage repair. These defects initially heal spontaneously. However, little information is available on the characteristics of repair of larger defects. The objective of the present study was to define the characteristics of repair of 6-mm full-thickness osteochondral defects in the adult Spanish goat. METHODS: Full-thickness osteochondral defects measuring 6 x 6 mm were created in the medial femoral condyle of the knee joint of adult female Spanish goats. The untreated defects were allowed to heal spontaneously. The knee joints were removed, and the defects were examined at ten time-intervals, ranging from time zero (immediately after creation of the defect) to one year postoperatively. The defects were examined grossly, microradiographically, histologically, and with magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. RESULTS: The 6-mm osteochondral defects did not heal. Moreover, heretofore undescribed progressive, deleterious changes occurred in the osseous walls of the defect and the articular cartilage surrounding the defect. These changes resulted in a progressive increase in the size of the defect, the formation of a large cavitary lesion, and the collapse of both the surrounding subchondral bone and the articular cartilage into the periphery of the defect. Resorption of the osseous walls of the defect was first noted by one week, and it was associated with extensive osteoclastic activity in the trabecular bone of the walls of the defect. Flattening and deformation of the articular cartilage at the edges of the defect was also observed at this time. By twelve weeks, bone resorption had transformed the surgically created defect into a larger cavitary lesion, and the articular cartilage and subchondral bone surrounding the defect had collapsed into the periphery of the defect. By twenty-six weeks, bone resorption had ceased and the osseous walls of the lesion had become sclerotic. The cavitary lesion did not become filled in with fibrocartilage. Instead, a cystic lesion was found in the center of most of the cavitary lesions. Only a thin layer of fibrocartilage was present on the sclerotic osseous walls of the defect. Specimens examined at one year postoperatively showed similar characteristics. CONCLUSIONS: Full-thickness osteochondral defects, measuring 6 mm in both diameter and depth, that are created in the medial femoral condyle of the knee joint of adult Spanish goats do not heal spontaneously. Instead, they undergo progressive changes resulting in resorption of the osseous walls of the defect, the formation of a large cavitary lesion, and the collapse of the surrounding articular cartilage and subchondral bone. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: As surgeons apply new reparative procedures to larger areas of full-thickness articular cartilage loss, we believe that it is important to consider the potential deleterious effects of a "zone of influence" secondary to the creation of a large defect in the subchondral bone. When biologic and synthetic matrices with or without cells or bioactive factors are placed into surgically created osseous defects, the osseous walls serve as shoulders to protect and stabilize the preliminary repair process. It is important to protect the repair process until biologic incorporation occurs and the chondrogenic switch turns the cells on to synthesize an articular-cartilage-like matrix. It takes a varying period of time to fill a large, surgically created bone defect underlying a chondral surface. The repair of such a defect requires bone synthesis and the reestablishment of a subchondral plate with a tidemark transition to the new overlying articular surface. The prevention of secondary changes in the surrounding bone and articular cartilage and the durability of the new reparative tissue making up the articulating surface are issues that must be addressed in future studies.
