摘要

Cartilage tissue is one of the few avascular tissues in humans. This fact suggests that healthy cartilage is capable to prevent the influence of angiogenesis driven by environmental stimuli such as low oxygen partial pressure and changes in pH. The aim of this work was to demonstrate and to quantify the anti-angiogenic potential of normal human chondrocytes in comparison to de-differentiated human chondrocytes and chondrosarcoma cells. We found that conditioned medium of primary human chondrocytes exhibits strong anti-angiogenic properties (inhibition of human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation and sprouting). The effect was specific to differentiated chondrocytes, whereas it was absent in conditioned medium from de-differentiated chondrocytes. Furthermore, we revealed that the effect was specifically anti-angiogenic but not generally anti-proliferative, when we compared the effect of the above mentioned conditioned media on proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell versus smooth muscle cell. In addition, we found that the inhibition of HUVEC proliferation caused by conditioned medium of differentiated chondrocyte was even stronger than the anti-proliferative effect of Rapamycin treatment. In contrast, we could demonstrate that conditioned medium of chondrosarcoma cells SW1353 exhibits pro- angiogenic effects. The results from vascular endothelial growth factor ELISA revealed that the inhibition of HUVEC proliferation and sprouting caused by conditioned medium of chondrocytes was not a result of a decreased amount of secreted VEGF. In contrast to our expectations, the results demonstrated that these anti-proliferative effects of conditioned medium of differentiated chondrocytes were present despite of a very high content of VEGF together with other bioactive substances secreted by differentiated chondrocytes. This fact indicates that there might exist potential anti-angiogenic substances secreted by differentiated chondrocytes that are able to overcome the pro-angiogenic effect of VEGF. Such factors might be a very beneficial source as natural anti-angiogeniccompounds bearing minimal side effects.
