Effects of bromelain on cellular characteristics and expression of selected genes in canine in vitro chondrocyte culture

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of bromelain treatment on canine articular chondrocytes in vitro. This research evaluated cell viability, levels of apoptotis and mitotis, proteoglycan concentrations and the expression of certain genes. Chondrocytes were exposed to 50 μg/ml bromelain for 4, 16 and 32 h. The rate of apoptotis in the treatment groups was significantly lower than in the control groups that were incubated with media only (P < 0.05); and the mitotic rate in treatment g… Show more

“…An enzymatic treatment was used to isolate cells for culture (Siengdee et al, 2010). Briefly, cartilage discs were washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 109 of a routine antibiotic dose of 2000 U/mL of penicillin, 2000 lg/mL of streptomycin, and 200 lg/mL of gentamicin.…”

“…The enzyme MMP-3 can cleave collagen, aggrecan, and link protein, while TIMPs inhibit the activity of MMPs. This study evaluates the expression of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 because these two genes are related, as previously described [36,37] . An increase in the level of the enzyme MMP-3 in comparison with TIMP-1 in the cartilage and the synovial membrane would explain the decrease in proteoglycan.…”

“…An ABI Prism 7000 sequence detection system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) was used for quantitative analysis using SYBR Green JumpStart Taq ReadyMix (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), incorporating dsDNA-specific fluorescent detection dye. Quantitative analyses of all transcriptions were performed in comparison with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ( GAPDH) as an endogenous control and were run in separate wells [5]. PCR was performed using 2  μ L of each sample of cDNA and specific amplification primers.…”

“…After the end of the last cycle, a dissociation curve was generated by starting the fluorescence acquisition at 60°C and taking measurements at 7 s intervals until the temperature reached 95°C. Final quantitative analysis was done using the relative standard curve method, as in previous reports [5, 6]. Results were reported as the relative expression level compared to the calibrator cDNA after normalization of the transcript amount to the endogenous control.…”
