Effect of articular chondrocytes combined with sodium alginate hydrogel sphere on rat calvarial defects
To explore the feasibility of sodium alginate hydrogel with articular chondrocytes in the repair of calvarial defects in rats
and compare its therapeutic effects with simple sodium alginate hydrogel.
Methods
2
Chondrocytes were isolated from the knee-joint of Sprague Dawley (SD) rat pups and expanded
in vitro
and then the cells of passage 2 (1×10
6
/mL) were inoculated in sodium alginate and crosslinked to be hydrogel sphere. A total of 12 male rats (2 months old) were randomly divided into control and experiment groups. After a circular defect of 5 mm in diameter was inflicted on one side of rat calvarial bone
the composite of chondrocytes and sodiun alginate hydrogel sphere were implanted into the defect in the rats of the experiment group
while only sodium alginate hydrogel sphere were implanted into the defect of the control group. In 6 weeks after operation
all specimens were assessed with general observation
histological analysis and micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) to evaluate the bone regeneration.
Results
2
In 6 weeks after operation
general observation showed that the defects almost have been repaired completely in the experiment group
with the surface smooth without collapses or segments
and hard and dense texture. But the defects were obvious and irregular in the control group
even with fibrous connective tissue around. The Micro-CT showed good repairs and reconstruction of cranial bone in the experiment group
and quantification analysis of relevant parameters showed bone mineral density
bone volume fraction and number of trabecular bones were greater in the experiment group than the control group (
P
<
0.05). Histological results showed that the defects in the experiment group were repaired with fresh bone tissues and less cartilage or collagen fibers
even blood capillaries were observed at the same time. The defects of group B were almost vacant with fibrous connective tissues and less bone tissues on the edge.
Conclusion
2
The articular chondrocytes combined with sodium alginate hydrogel sphere can reconstruct cranial bone in calvarial defects of SD rats.
