Poster Topic: Cartilage Repair Abstract number: 26765 CHONDROCYTE GENE EXPRESSION IS AFFECTED BY VSOP-LABELING IN LONG-TERM IN VITRO MRI TRACKING Casper FOLDAGER, Michael PEDERSEN, Steffen RINGGAARD, Cody BÜNGER, Martin LIND Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus (DENMARK) INTRODUCTION: Autologous chondrocyte transplantation is an essential part of many treatment procedures for cartilage repair. The aim was to investigate the effect and dose-response of very-small iron oxide particle (VSOP) labeling of human chondrocytes for long-term in vitro MRI tracking. METHODS: Chondrocytes were isolated from cartilage biopsies from four patients. The cells for the dose-response study were labeled with 25, 50 or 100 µg/mL VSOP. Quantitative gene expression and cellular proliferation were compared to unlabeled controls at day 1, 3, and 7. The cells suited for MRI tracking were labeled with 50 µg/mL VSOP and embedded in alginate beads, followed by MRI (using T2-weighted sequences) at day 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and histology was performed at each time-point. RESULTS Histology revealed that VSOP particles were intracellularly confined at all time-points, whereas no extracellular VSOP’s were observed. A mean reduction in T2-value of 25.1 ms (±SD 3.5 ms) was found on T2-maps. The chondrocyte-specific genes aggrecan, collagen type 2, and sox9 were all affected by labeling, the two latter in a dosedependent manner. VSOP’s had no effect on proliferation. CONCLUSION: VSOPlabeling of chondrocytes affected gene expression but not proliferation. The labeled chondrocytes could be recognized by MRI for 4 weeks without significant changes in the T2 relaxation time. 200

Cartilage autologous implantation system (CAIS) is a surgical method in which<br />

hyaline cartilage fragments from a non-weight bearing area in the knee joint are<br />

collected and then precipitated onto an absorbable filter that is subsequently placed<br />

in the focal chondral defect. The clinical outcome of CAIS was compared with<br />

microfracture (MFX) in a pilot study. In an IRB approved protocol patients (n=29)<br />

were screened with the intention to treat, randomized (2:1, CAIS:MFX) and followed<br />

over a 24 month period. To be included in the study the patient may have up to 2<br />

contained focal, unipolar lesions (ICRS grade 3d and ICRS Grade IVa OCD lesions<br />

of femoral condyles and trochlea with a size between 1 and 10 cm2. We report 24<br />

month patient-reported outcome (PRO) data using the KOOS-scale. We noted that<br />

at 12 months after the intervention CAIS differentiated itself from MFX in that the<br />

changes in Sport & Recreation subscale were different (p
