Consequences of chondrocyte hypertrophy on osteoarthritic cartilage: potential effect on angiogenesis

Abstract: Hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocyte may promote angiogenesis. Our findings established the relation of BSP with OA chondrocyte hypertrophy and suggested that this factor could constitute a potential target to control cartilage neovascularisation in OA.

“…Our findings confirm the notion of chondrocyte phenotype modulation in OA that chondrocytes in diseased cartilage undergo terminal differentiation to hypertrophy. Moreover, some characteristics of OA such as remodeling of extracellular matrix by proteases, vascularization and focal calcification of joint resemble the physiological differentiation process of chondrocyte during skeletal development 4,6,7,12,27 .…”

“…In healthy cartilage, the flow of fluid enables nutrients and oxygen to diffuse in the tissue, and the deep calcified cartilage layer functions as a physical barrier for diffusion and angiogenesis (i.e., invasion of blood vessels) between cartilage and subchondral bone . However, in diseased OA cartilage, fluid permeability increases as a result of angiogenesis in the deep calcified cartilage and contributes to deleterious changes in cartilage mechanical properties . Higher T2 values in the deep cartilage layer are possibly related to increased hydraulic permeability in the cartilage‐subchondral bone unit, which has been associated with OA progression.…”

“…Cartilage in joints and endplate cartilage in the spine are normally avascular. During OA development, angiogenesis may occur from blood vessels in the subchondral bone to the cartilage, but also in the inflamed synovium and osteophytes [43][44][45]. Therefore, 18 F-FPRGD 2 uptake by joints and surrounding structures may be explained by the radiopharmaceutical binding to the integrin a v b 3 of activated endothelial cells thus imaging local angiogenesis [9].…”
