| Abstract | Small proteoglycans (PGs) are supposed to play great roles in the assembly of cartilage matrix but the influence of cytokines and growth factors on their synthesis by articular chondrocytes is largely unknown. We investigated whether EL-1 and TGFβ1 influence the production of small leucine-rich proteoglycans by chondrocytes cultured in a three-dimensional gel, as compared to the common monolayer system.Rabbit articular chondrocytes were cultured in alginate beads for 14 days or as monolayers for 7 days. The effect of 2 ng/ml IIL-1β or TGFβ1 during the last two days in culture was determined, after [$^{35}$S]methionine labeling over the last 24 h. Cell-associated and further-removed matrix compartments were separated by centrifugation after sodium citrate/EDTA treatment of alginate beads whereas medium and cell-layer fractions were isolated from monolayer cultures. Total newly synthesized PGs were first isolated by anion-exchange chromatography and the small PGs were further separated from aggrecans by gel-filtration (Sepharose CL-4B) and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).Addition of TGFβ1 resulted in an overall rise in neosynthesized small PG content in both culture systems. However, TGFβ1 significantly increased to the same extent the percentage of small PGs laid down in the cell-associated and the further-removed matrix compartments of the beacls culture (+00%) whereas it auirnted the content of small PGs in the medium (+40%) and reduced that of the cell fraction (+35%) in the monolayer culture. By adding IL-1, the amount of total newly synthesized small PGs was decreased in monolayers while it increased in alginate beads. IL-1 was also shown to change the relative distribution of these molecules in the monolayer system in contrast to the alginate beads culture where the proportions were not significantly altered. Electrophoretic analyes of the $^{35}$S-labeled small PGs-containing fractions confirmed these effects at the level of the 45-50 kDa-related core proteins.This study demonstrates that TGFβ and IL-1 differently influence small PG synthesis of rabbit articular chondrocytes depending on whether they are cultured in alginate beads or in monolayers. Moreover, the regulation of small PG expression appears to be different from that of high-molecular weight aggrecans. As these small molecules are playing major roles in matrix assembly and growth factor regulation, the data may have great relevance to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and repair of articular cartilage lesions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
