Anti-hypertrophic effect of synovium-derived stromal cells on costal chondrocytes promotes cartilage repairs

Background: Costal chondrocytes (CCs), as a promising donor cell source for cell-based therapy for cartilage repair, have strong tendency of hypertrophy and calcification, which limited CCs from further application in cartilage regenerative medicine. Synovium-derived stromal cells (SDSCs), have show...

Synovium-derived stromal cells (SDSCs), have shown their beneficial effect for chondrocytes to maintain phenotype. This study aims to investigate whether SDSCs could help CCs to maintain chondrogenic phenotype and suppress hypertrophic differentiation in cartilage repairs. Methods: CCs were directly cocultured with SDSCs in pellet or indirectly cocultured using a conditioned medium in vitro for 3 weeks. Cartilage matrix formation and hypertrophic differentiation of CCs were analyzed by RT-PCR, biochemical assays, and histological staining. Cocultured pellets were implanted into the osteochondral defects made on the femoral groove of the rats. Then, macroscopic and histological evaluations were performed. Results: Pellets formed by CCs alone and CCs cocultured with SDSCs reveal equal cartilage matrix deposition. However, the gene expression of type X collagen was significantly downregulated in cocultured pellets. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed suppressed expression of type X collagen in cocultured pellets, indicating SDSCs may suppress hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes. Further in indirect coculture experiment, SDSCs suppressed type X collagen expression as well and promoted the proliferation of CCs, indicating SDSCs may influence CCs by paracrine mechanism. The pellets implanted in the osteochondral defects showed good restoration effects, whereas the grafts constructed with CCs and SDSCs showed lower type X expression levels. Conclusion: These results suggest that SDSCs may maintain the phenotype of CCs and prevent the hypertrophic differentiation of CCs in cartilage repair.The Translational Potential of this Article: CCs is a promising donor cell source for cell-based therapy for cartilage repair. Based on our study, cocultured with SDSCs weakened the tendency of hypertrophy and calcification of CCs, which provide a potential usage of SDSCs in CCs-based cartilage repair therapy to suppress newly formed cartilage calcification and improve clinical outcomes.Yiyang MaKaiwen ZhengYidan PangFuzhou XiangJunjie GaoChangqing ZhangDajiang DuElsevierarticleCostal chondrocyteSynovium-derived mesenchymal stromal cellHypertrophic differentiationDiseases of the musculoskeletal systemRC925-935ENJournal of Orthopaedic Translation, Vol 32, Iss , Pp 59-68 (2022)
