Adult rabbit chondrocytes were cultured in the alginate beads with the presence of 3%&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;or 3% PPP. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis was quantified using dimethylmethylene blue assay. To confirm the anabolic effect of&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;in vivo, cartilage matrix gene expression was examined after intraarticular administration of&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;contained in gelatin hydrogel microspheres. The&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;contained in gelatin hydrogel microspheres was administered into the rabbit&nbsp;knee joint&nbsp;twice with an interval of 3 weeks, beginning 4 weeks after anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). Ten weeks after ACLT, gross morphological and histological examinations were performed.<\/p>\n<h4>RESULTS:<\/h4>\n<p>PRP&nbsp;significantly stimulated chondrocyte GAG synthesis in vitro. In the&nbsp;knee joint, expression of proteoglycan core protein mRNA in the articular cartilage increased after administration of&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;contained in microspheres. Intraarticular injections of&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;in gelatin hydrogel microspheres significantly suppressed progression of&nbsp;OA&nbsp;in the ACLT rabbit model morphologically and histologically.<\/p>\n<h4>CONCLUSION:<\/h4>\n<p>The present findings indicate that sustained release of growth factors contained in&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;has preventive effects against&nbsp;OA&nbsp;progression. These preventive effects appear to be due to stimulation of cartilage matrix metabolism, caused by the growth factors contained in&nbsp;PRP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2009 Mar-Apr;27(2):201-7 Intraarticular administration of platelet-rich plasma with biodegradable gelatin hydrogel microspheres prevents osteoarthritis progression in the rabbit knee Abstract OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic potential of administration of gelatin hydrogel microspheres containing platelet-rich plasma (PRP), by examining its effects on progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in a rabbit model.
