title: Preventive effect of hyaluronic acid on the suppression of attachment and migration abilities of bovine chondrocytes by IL-1alpha in vitro.
abstract: Attachment and migration of bovine chondrocytes cultured in vitro were significantly suppressed by the addition of interleukin (IL)-1alpha at the concentration of 1 ng/ml or more (p<0.05). The application of hyaluronic acid (HA) at the concentration of 10 micro g/m l or more significantly recovered the attachment of chondrocytes (p<0.05) and the application of HA at 100 micro g/ml concentration recovered the migration of chondrocytes suppressed by IL-1alpha. These results suggest that the application of HA for inflammatory arthropathies or chondrocyte transplantation might be helpful to preserve the properties of chondrocytes and its extracellular matrix against inflammatory conditions.
