Abstract

Purpose

The aim was to analyse the biological characteristics of chondrocytes from the two biopsy sites notch vs. trochlea of human knee joints. The question was whether tissue engineering-relevant characteristics such as viability and mRNA expression profile would be comparable ex vivo and after monolayer expansion, as these are parts of routine autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI).

Methods

Biopsies from the intercondylar notch and the lateral aspect of the trochlea from 20 patients with ICRS grades 3 and 4 cartilage defects were harvested during arthroscopy. Collagen types 1, 2, and 10 mRNA were quantified by polymerase chain reaction.

Results

Compared with notch chondrocytes, ex vivo trochlea chondrocytes had comparable cell numbers, vitality and aggrecan, collagen types 1, −2 and −10 mRNA expression. After monolayer expansion both notch and trochlea chondrocyte characteristics were comparably altered, regardless of their biopsy origin, and no significant differences in viability and mRNA expression were noted.

Conclusions

Collectively, these findings suggest that tissue engineering-relevant characteristics of notch and trochlea chondrocytes are comparable ex vivo and after monolayer expansion. Thus, trochlea chondrocytes promise clinical potential and chondrocytes for ACI could potentially be generated from both notch and trochlea biopsy sites.
