Effect of C-dECMs on chondrocyte/stem cell chondrogenic differentiation.

dECM origin Seeded cell type Treatment Results Reference
calf chondrocyte rabbit BMSC seeded on dECM-PCL scaffolds and cultured in a medium with the addition of TGF-β1 supported chondrogenic differentiation 243
bovine chondrocyte and rabbit MSC rabbit BMSC cultured on physically prepared dECM/PCL scaffolds in chondrogenic medium with or without TGF-β3 cocultures of chondrocytes and BMSCs on PCL scaffold coated with cartilage-like ECM supported chondrogenic differentiation 244
human BMSC human BMSC seeded on physically prepared dECM with chondrogenic induction ECM scaffold mimicking early stage chondrogenesis promoted more chondrogenic differentiation than that of the ECM scaffold mimicking late stage chondrogenesis 29
human BMSC human BMSC seeded on physically prepared dECM fabricated by human BMSC sheets cultured with TGF-β1 in the media or with TGF-β1-loaded microspheres enhanced in vitro chondrogenesis 30
human BMSC human IPFSC seeded on physically prepared dECM from porcine ECM (Native), human engineered sheets (Eng) and from human engineered sheets with microspheres (Eng-MS) followed by chondrogenic induction supported chondrogenesis of IPFSCs; higher chondrogenesis within native ECM scaffolds compared to engineered ECM scaffolds 28
human BMSC human BMSC expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction enhanced expanded stem cell chondrogenic potential 95
human BMSC (fetal and adult) human adult BMSC cultured on dECMs followed by 3D spheroid culture with chondrogenic induction fetal dECMs enhanced chondrogenic potential of late-passage BMSCs 101
human BMSC human chondrocyte (OA and healthy) cultured on dECM-PCL scaffolds in chondrogenic medium; dECMs were deposited by BMSCs that were grown in chondrogenic medium (CM) or basic medium (BM) BM-derived scaffolds had superior effect on chondrogenic differentiation of healthy chondrocytes compared to CM; no significant influence of dECMs on chondrogenic differentiation of OA chondrocytes 64
human BMSC and chondrocyte human BMSC grown on dECMs that were first coated on PLGA mesh discs followed by removal of PLGA and cultured in chondrogenic induction medium for 4 weeks promoted chondrogenic differentiation; dECMs from BMSCs were better than from chondrocytes 63
human BMSC and USC human BMSC expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction dECMs from repeated passage BMSCs decreased chondrogenic rejuvenation ability; dECMs from USCs strengthened repeated passage BMSC chondrogenic potential 106
human chondrocyte human PDMSC mixed with dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction (BMP-6, TGF-β3) enhanced chondrogenic differentiation 104
human IPFSC human IPFSC expanded on dECMs that were fabricated using various doses and durations of AA followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction promoted chondrogenic potential 65
human SDSC human SDSC expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction under hypoxia or normoxia promoted chondrogenic potential and further enhanced by low oxygen (5%) during pellet culture 245
human SDSC human SDSC expanded on dECMs and followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction promoted chondrogenic potential and further enhanced after treatment with H2O2 in both proliferation and chondrogenic phases 237
human SDSC (fetal and adult) human adult SDSC expanded on dECMs deposited by SDSCs from fetal and adult donors followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction enhanced chondrogenic potential; fetal dECM was superior to adult dECMs 69
human SDSC human SDSC expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction promoted SDSC chondrogenic potential 140
human SDSC human SDSC expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction; treatment of sb203580 either in proliferation or differentiation phases dECMs enhanced chondrogenic potential which was further enhanced by sb203580 preconditioning; sb203580 preconditioning promoted dECM rejuvenated SDSCs’ ability against inflammation during chondrogenic induction 238
porcine chondrocyte human BMSC seeded on dECM-type I collagen microspheres and cultured in the medium without chondrogenic induction supported chondrogenic differentiation 102
porcine chondrocyte rabbit BMSC seeded on dECM pellets with chondrogenic induction but no TGF-β addition followed by implantation in nude mice supported in vitro chondrogenic differentiation; maintained longer chondrogenic phenotypes in vivo compared to PGA scaffolds 1
porcine chondrocyte rabbit chondrocyte seeded on physically prepared dECM in a culture medium promoted cartilage formation in vitro 240
porcine chondrocyte rabbit chondrocyte seeded on physically prepared dECM and implanted in rabbit osteochondral defects supported chondrogenesis in vitro, repaired the osteochondral defects in vivo 241
porcine chondrocyte rabbit chondrocyte seeded onto physically prepared dECM followed by implantation into the nude mouse produced a hyaline-like cartilage tissue in vivo 246
porcine SDSC porcine chondrocyte expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction delayed dedifferentiation, retained redifferentiation capacity and enhanced redifferentiation 99
porcine SDSC porcine NPC grown on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction enhanced and restored redifferentiation capacity 98
porcine SDSC porcine SDSC grown on dECM-coated TCPS followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction enhanced chondrogenic potential and prevented hypertrophic differentiation 31
porcine SDSC porcine SDSC expanded on dECMs in hypoxia or normoxia with or without FGF2, followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction promoted chondrogenic potential and enhanced when combined with hypoxia and FGF2; downregulated hypertrophic differentiation 242
porcine SDSC porcine SDSC expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction in vitro, or injected into pig knees with cartilage defects enhanced chondrogenic potential in vitro and enhanced SDSCs in vivo cartilage regeneration 217
porcine SDSC and chondrocyte porcine SDSC and chondrocyte expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction enhanced cell chondrogenic potential, particularly for cells expanded on dECM deposited by SDSCs 92
porcine SDSC and IPFSC porcine IPFSC expanded on dECMs followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction (TGF-β3 alone or combined with BMP-6) enhanced chondrogenic capacity and decreased hypertrophic differentiation; combined with BMP-6 further enhanced chondrogenic capacity 91
porcine SDSC and/or NPC porcine SDSC/NPC expanded on dECMs that were fabricated under normoxia or hypoxia followed by a pellet culture with chondrogenic induction enhanced chondrogenic potential 94
