| Research Abstract |
Thc destruction of cartilage tissue causes functional disability in osteoarthritis. The repair of cartilage tissue are supposed to be disturbed in this disease. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is an anabolic factor for chondrocytes and is regulated by binding proteins (IGPBPs). We assumed that the effect of IGF-I on chondrocytes are disturbed in osteoarthritis. So we tried to study the IGFBPs produced by human chondrocytes, which may regulate IGE action. Employing Western-ligand blotting (WLB) and immunoprecipitation, immortalized humah chondrocytes were found to secrete IGFBP-2, -3, -4 and -5. Treatment of cells with IGF-I resulted in a dose-dependent increase of IGFBP-5. The IGFBPs associated with cell membrane were examined by affinity cross-linking method, showing the IGFBP-3 and -5 as well as type 1 LGF and type 2 [GE receptor. To clarify the changes of IGFBPs in osteoarthritis, interleukin-1b is added to the culture medium. Unfortunately, there was no difference between them, with /without interleukin-1. We should further study the regulation mechanism of IGEBP production in osteoarthritis by using human cartilage tissue obtained by operated sample.
