ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility that transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) -loaded fibrin sealant (FS) promotes bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to create tissue engineering cartilage in vivo.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The BMSCs were isolated from healthy human and amplified in vitro, and then induced by defined medium containing TGF-beta1 and dexamethasone. After 7 days the induced BMSCs were collected and mixed with TGF-beta1-loaded FS or FS as BMSCs+ FS-TGF-beta1 group and BMSCs+ FS experimental group. Then the mixture was injected by a needle into the dorsum of nude mice. In control group, only FS or BMSCs were injected. The tissue engineering specimens were harvested from nude mice 12 weeks later. Gross observation, average wet weight measurement, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) quantification, histology and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate the results.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The BMSCs have possessed the shape and functional characters of chondrocyte when transferred to a defined medium. After injection of the mixture, the cartilage-like tissue were formed in two experimental groups. Compared with BMSC+ FS group, the specimens of BMSCs +FS-TGF-beta1 group were larger and firmer. Alcian staining showed better metachromatic matrix formation. The GAG contents were significantly higher. Immunohistochemical staining of collagen type II was stronger. However, no cartilage-like tissue was formed in two control groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>TGF-beta1-loaded FS can promote BMSCs to contract injectable tissue engineering cartilage in vivo.</p>
