Recent advances and applications of kartogenin in cartilage regeneration and repair / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Cartilage defects due to cartilage lesions such as osteoarthritis are difficult to self-regenerate. How to promote cartilage regeneration and restore smooth wound surface is a hot topic in recent years. OBJECTIVE: To review the general concept, mechanism and effect of Kartogenin as well as the current clinical models, profor the regeneration and repair of damaged cartilage. METHODS: WanFang, CNKI, and PubMed were retrieved for studies on Kartogenin combined with tissue engineering in the regeneration and repair published from January 2010 to January 2020. The keywords were “Kartogenin, cartilage regeneratichondrogenesis, chondroprotection” in English and “Kartogenin, cartilage regeneration and repair, cartilage protection, tissue Chinese. After initial screening by reading titles and abstracts, irrelevant literature was excluded and finally 55 articles were ianalysis according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: As a newly discovered small molecule, Kartogenin has better stability, lower immunogeniciavailability. In addition, Kartogenin plays a synergistic role with growth factors in cartilage regeneration and has great potentiformation and cartilage protection. Through in vitro experiments or animal experiments, it has been proved that Kartogenin prole in promoting cartilage generation, osteoarthritis treatment, repair of tendon and bone injury, and wound healing, and heldegeneration of cartilage and healing of rotator cuff injury. With more basic research and clinical trials on Kartogenin, a breacartilage regeneration and repair will be made in the near future.
