OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficiency of gene transduction to human chondrocytes using an adeno associated virus (AAV) vector. METHODS We transduced green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene using AAV vector to primary human chondrocytes as well as human cartilage organ cultures, in which chondrocytes are surrounded by extracellular matrix. Expression of GFP gene was analyzed at various time points after transduction by fluorescence microscopy and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In primary chondrocytes, the percentages of GFP positive cells were 15.9% or 16.0% on Day 1 and 95.0% or 93.7% on Day 7 after gene transduction. In cartilage organ cultures, gene delivery was observed in cells located not only in the superficial layer but also in the deep layer within the cartilage tissue. Up to 45.3+/-7.4% or 46.0+/-3.9% of chondrocytes expressed GFP for at least 28 days. CONCLUSIONS AAV vector could be useful for direct gene delivery to chondrocytes in situ.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D010003 Osteoarthritis A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
