摘要

We have determined the sensitivity and detection limit of a new fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based optoelectronic micro-indenter for biomechanical testing of cartilage and compared the results to indentation-type atomic force microscopy (IT-AFM) and histological staining. As test samples, we used bovine articular cartilage, which was enzymatically degraded ex vivo for five minutes using different concentrations of collagenase (5, 50, 100 and 500 µg/mL) to mimic moderate extracellular matrix deterioration seen in early-stage osteoarthritis (OA). Picrosirius Red staining and polarization microscopy demonstrated gradual, concentration-dependent disorganization of the collagen fibrillar network in the superficial zone of the explants. Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) grading of histopathological changes did not discriminate between undigested and enzymatically degraded explants. IT-AFM was the most sensitive method for detecting minute changes in cartilage biomechanics induced by the lowest collagenase concentration, however, it did not distinguish different levels of cartilage degeneration for collagenase concentrations higher than 5 µg/mL. The FBG micro-indenter provided a better and more precise assessment of the level of cartilage degeneration than the OARSI histological grading system but it was less sensitive at detecting mechanical changes than IT-AFM. The FBG-sensor allowed us to observe differences in cartilage biomechanics for collagenase concentrations of 100 and 500 µg/mL. Our results confirm that the FBG sensor is capable of detecting small changes in articular cartilage stiffness, which may be associated with initial cartilage degeneration caused by early OA.
