Abstract

Purpose

Our aim was to study the effect of three-dimensional (3D) environment and overexpression of human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) on meniscal fibrochondrocytes in vitro.

Methods

Human meniscal fibrochondrocytes were transfected with expression plasmid vectors carrying the Photinus pyralis luciferase gene, the Escherichia coli β-galactosidase gene or a human FGF-2 cDNA. Modified fibrochondrocytes were cultivated in 3D alginate hydrogel or cell pellets or in 2D monolayer culture.

Results

The levels of luciferase activity showed a peak at day two and returned to baseline levels by day 11, regardless of the type of cultivation. Both 3D environments supported the secretion of human FGF-2 protein upon FGF-2 transfection. Overexpression of human FGF-2 by genetically modified human meniscal fibrochondrocytes stimulated proliferation but not glycosaminoglycan synthesis only in 3D culture. Culture in alginate spheres resulted in a larger difference in cell numbers compared with pellet cultures.

Conclusions

Three-dimensional alginate spheres are well suited for the culture of genetically modified human meniscal fibrochondrocytes. These data are of value for cell-based approaches to meniscal repair using genetically modified human meniscal fibrochondrocytes overexpressing human FGF-2.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Arthroskopie kann Knieprothese nicht hinauszögern
