Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) promoted production of extracellular matrix of articular cartilage chondrocytes in vitro
Ying Denga, Xing-Sun Linb, Zhong Zhenga, Jin-Guang Denga, Jin-Chun Chena, Hui Mab, Guo-Qiang Chena,* a Department of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China b Department of Physics, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China Received 25 November 2002; accepted 13 May 2003

Abstract The present investigation describes the production of extracellular matrix of rabbit articular cartilage chondrocytes grown on scaffolds of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) blended with poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) for up to 7 days. The mRNA level of type II collagen of chondrocytes seeded on all scaffolds consisting of PHBHHx were obviously higher than that of PHB-only scaffold throughout the culture period, suggesting the positive effect of PHBHHx on extracellular matrix production. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) imaging technique, combined with confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) revealed that PHBHHx in PHB scaffold provided better surface properties for anchoring type II collagen filaments and their penetration into internal layers of the scaffolds. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a major composition of extracellular matrix, showed a sharp increase in construct of 1:2 PHB/PHBHHx scaffold after 7 day cultivation, while only a small increase was observed in all other tested scaffolds. At the same time, total collagen contents in all scaffolds containing PHBHHx increased with time, with the maximum collagen production of 742.1799.2 mg/g dry weight observed in construct of 1:2 PHB/PHBHHx scaffold inoculated for 7 days, this was almost 4-fold higher than that in scaffold of PHB only. It appears that the presence of right proportion of PHBHHx in the composite system of PHB/PHBHHx highly favored the production of extracellular matrix of articular

    The process involves the re-growth of granulation tissue made from extracellular matrix and collagen. It is imperative during this phase that the wounded area receives enough nutrients and oxygen from the blood vessels. Actin microfilaments allow epidermal cells to migrate over and around the damaged site. A particularly important cell, the keratinocyte, helps restore the vascular network and close the wound. Once the exterior layer is sealed, plasmin is released to break down the previously formed clots. The epithelial cells are allowed to reform linkages with the surrounding area. The process of epithelialization is improved if the wounded area is kept moist and hydrated. Collagen production is critical for forming necessary cross-links and interactions with fibronectin. Angiogenesis or the production of new blood vessels is a major contributor to the success of wound healing. If the new vessels become unnecessary after the healing process is complete, they are removed through apoptosis. The process of proliferation also includes the contraction of tissue in order to close and seal the wound site. This is largely dependent on myofibroblast…

    The skeletal system is made up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues, that is, they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells, the gelatin the support material for matrix, and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances, we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight or softer like cartilage which can be used as a cushioning material.…

    A response to long term exercise is a change that happens to your body over a long period of time due to exercise. It is also known as chronic exercise. Unlike the short-term effects, these changes do not happen immediately, they take time and effort to achieve. Once these responses take place it will allow an athlete to work at a higher intensity for longer. These changes mainly occur in the heart, lungs and muscles. This table shows the changes that occur in our body after long term exercise.…
