摘要

OBJECTIVE: In human articular cartilage, tenascin-C (TN-C) expression decreases during maturation of chondrocytes, and almost disappears in adults; however, it reappears in damaged cartilage. To examine the effects of TN-C on cartilage degeneration and repair, we compared articular cartilage degeneration between wild-type (WT) and tenascin-C knockout mouse (TNKO) mice using a spontaneous osteoarthritis (OA) in aged joints and surgical OA model. In addition, we made full-thickness cartilage defects and compared the cartilage repair process between the two groups. METHODS: The surgical procedure to create degenerative OA model was performed by transecting the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament. Full-thickness defects were created in the center of the femoral trochlea to evaluate cartilage repair. Sections of cartilage were stained with hematoxylin and eosin or safranin-O, and immunostaining for TN-C. The degrees of degeneration and repair were graded. RESULTS: In the WT surgical OA model, the articular cartilage was almost normal at 2 weeks, but safranin-O decreased staining at 4 weeks. In TNKO mice, safranin-O decreased staining at 2 weeks, and cartilage was injured intensely at 4 weeks. In the cartilage repair model, TN-C was expressed after 1 week, was strongly expressed in the upper layer of regenerated tissue after 3 weeks, and disappeared after 6 weeks. The defects were restored until 6 weeks in WT mice; however, defects in TNKO mice were filled with fibrous tissue with no cartilage-like tissue. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that cartilage repair in TNKO mice was significantly slower than that in WT mice and that the deficiency of TN-C progressed during cartilage degeneration.
