Abstract (original English)

To investigate the effects of the misshapen auricular chondrocytes from microtia in inducing. Human ADSCs at passage 3 and misshapen chondrogenesis of human adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro. auricular chondrocytes at passage 2 were harvested and mixed at a ratio of 7:3 as experimental group (group A, 1.0 x 10(6) mixed cells). Misshapen auricular chondrocytes or ADSCs at the same cell number served as control groups (groups B and C, respectively). All samples were incubated in the centrifuge tubes. At 28 days after incubation, the morphological examination was done and the wet weight was measured; the content of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) was detected by Alcian blue colorimetry; the expressions of collagen type II and Aggrecan were determined with RT-PCR; and HE staining, toluidine blue staining, Safranin O staining of GAG, and collagen type II immunohistochemical staining were used for histological and immunohistochemical observations. At 28 days after incubation, all specimens formed disc tissue that was translucent and white with smooth surface and good elasticity in groups A and B; the specimens shrank into yellow spherical tissue without elasticity in group C. The wet weight and GAG content of specimens in groups A and B were significantly higher than those in group C (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was found between groups A and B in the wet weight (t = 1
