Abstract

Purpose

This study examined effects of intermittent hydrostatic pressure (IHP) and a chondrogenic growth factor, bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (BMP‐2), on anabolic, catabolic, and other metabolic markers in human osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes in vitro.

Methods

Articular chondrocytes, isolated from femoral OA cartilage and maintained in high‐density monolayer culture, were examined for effects of BMP‐2 and IHP on gene expression of matrix‐associated proteins (aggrecan, type II collagen, and SOX9) and catabolic matrix metalloproteinases (MMP‐2 and MMP‐3) and culture medium levels of the metabolic markers MMP‐2, nitric oxide (NO), and glycosaminoglycan (GAG). The results were analyzed using a mixed linear regression model to investigate the effects of load and growth factor concentration.

Results

IHP and BMP‐2 modulated OA chondrocyte metabolism in accordance with growth factor concentration independently, without evidence of synergism or antagonism. Each type of stimulus acted independently on anabolic matrix gene expression. Type II collagen and SOX9 gene expression were stimulated by both IHP and BMP‐2 whereas aggrecan was increased only by BMP‐2. IHP exhibited a trend to decrease MMP‐2 gene expression as a catabolic marker whereas BMP‐2 did not. NO production was increased by addition of BMP‐2 and IHP exhibited a trend for increased levels. GAG production was increased by BMP‐2.

Conclusions

This study confirmed the hypothesis that human OA chondrocytes respond to a specific type of mechanical load, IHP, through enhanced articular cartilage macromolecule gene expression and that IHP, in combination with a chondrogenic growth factor BMP‐2, additively enhanced matrix gene expression without interactive effects. © 2010 Orthopaedic Research Society.

## Abstract Hydrostatic pressure (HP) is thought to increase within cartilage extracellular matrix as a consequence of fluid flow inhibition. The biosynthetic response of human articular chondrocytes to HP in vitro varies with the load magnitude, load frequency, as well as duration of loading. We f
