Biological Properties and Pathological Stages of Chondrocyte Colony-Like Clusters in Human Osteoarthritic Cartilage Tissue
View through CrossRef
Abstract
During the development of knee osteoarthritis(OA), chondrocyte colony-like clusters occur in cartilage tissue. However, the significance of chondrocyte colony-like cluster formation in cartilage tissue remains unclear. In these studies,we investigated the timing and location of chondrocyte colony-like clusters in cartilage tissue during the development of human knee OA,and explored the biological properties of chondrocytes in colony-like clusters and their significance for degenerative cartilage tissue. The resulte showed that chondrocyte colony-like clusters mainly formed in the OARSI grades 3 and 4 cartilage tissue,which could divide into four stages according to the quantity and biological properties of the chondrocytes inside the cluster.The chondrocyte colony-like clusters in cartilage tissue could cause the cartilage tissue to become looser and more porous, with more severe cartilage degeneration. To understand this, we further clarified the development of this disease and provided a new direction for the treatment of knee OA.
