Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of type Ⅱ collagen, aggrecan, VEGF-A and PEDF mRNAs in the human chondrocytes derived from the articular cartilage of the femoral heads with avacular necrosis (AVN).
Materials and Methods: We cultured human chondrocytes that were primarily derived from the articular cartilage of femoral heads with AVN. We evaluated the mRNA expression of type Ⅱ collagen, aggrecan, VEGF-A and PEDF.
Results: The chondrocytes of the AVN group showed decreased expressions of type Ⅱ collagen mRNA and aggrecan mRNA (p<0.05). The expression of VEGF-A mRNA and PEDF mRNA in the AVN group was the same as that of the normal group (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The cartilage matrix’s formation ability was found to be decreased in the chondrocytes of the femoral heads affected by AVN.
