Abstract (original English)

Injectable thermoresponsive hydrogels have the advantages of effective cell delivery and minimal invasion for tissue engineering applications. In this study, we investigated the chondroinductive potential of newly developed hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (HA-PNIPAAm-CL) hydrogels on enhancing rabbit ADSC (rADSC) chondrogenesis in vitro and in the synovial cavity of rabbit. The HA-mixed PNIPAAm (HA-PNIPAAm-CP) and HA-cross-linked PNIPAAm (HA-PNIPAAm-CL) were fabricated using physical interaction and chemical cross-linking methods, respectively. The in vitro results showed that, compared to unmodified PNIPAAm, both HA-modified hydrogels significantly increased cell viability, chondrogenic marker gene (aggrecan and type II collagen) expression and sulfide glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) formation in embedded rADSCs. However, HA-PNIPAAm-CL showed the highest rADSC viability and chondrogenesis. The chondrogenic effects of HA-modified hydrogels on rADSCs were confirmed in vivo by the intraarticular injection of hydrogel-embedded rADSC constructs into rabbit synovial cavities for 3 weeks and tracing with CM-DiI labeling. Neocartilage formation in the hydrogels was determined by histomorphological staining of GAG and type II collagen. In vivo injected rADSC/HA-PNIPAAm-CL constructs showed more hyaline cartilage formation than that of rADSC/HA-PNIPAA
