Hydrostatic pressure (HP) has a profound effect on cartilage metabolism in normal and pathological conditions, especially in weight-bearing areas of the skeletal system. As an important component of overall load, HP has been shown to affect the synthetic capacity and well-being of chondrocytes, depending on the mode, duration and magnitude of pressure. In this study we examined the effect of continuous...
The present study investigated the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in a human chondrocyte-like cell line (HCS-2/8). The cells were exposed to hydrostatic pressure (1, 5, 10, or 50 MPa) by a special apparatus. Total RNA was extracted, and was analyzed by a polymerase chain reaction method for IL-8 mRNA. IL-8 concentrations in a culture medium were assessed...
