Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
At present, autologous platelet-derived therapies such as platelet-rich plasma is widely used in the clinic, but allogeneic and xenogeneic therapies are currently in the research stage, mainly due to their biocompatibility in vivo. Platelet lysates depleted of antigens such as blood cells are a potential solution for allogeneic or xenogeneic applications. Platelet lysates can successfully promote the growth and differentiation of xenogeneic cells in vitro, but in vivo data are not yet available. This study aims to evaluate whether porcine platelet lysate can effectively avoid inflammatory reaction in rabbit knee joint, and then treat cartilage defect and arthritis.
Methods
We developed porcine platelet lysates containing undetectable antigens such as blood cells and complement. For xenogeneic application, platelet lysate was injected into rabbit knee joints to observe joint responses. To examine cartilage repair, osteochondral defects were created in rabbit knee joints. Rabbits were sacrificed three months after treatment with platelet lysate to observe cartilage regeneration and arthritis.
Results
The tissue sections in the rabbit knee joints showed no inflammatory reaction. Furthermore, the injection of platelet lysate was found to effectively inhibit the formation of cartilage arthritis in rabbit knee joints.
Conclusion
Our experimental results show that xenogeneic platelet lysate is a safe and effective method in the treatment of arthritis, which can be used as a research basis for future medical applications. The use of xenogeneic platelet lysate for regenerative therapy in vivo is feasible.
