It also suggests that Hox genes could be involved in human chondrodysplasias and other cartilage disorders.
1, BALB/c mice immunized with human cartilage proteoglycan started to develop arthritis after the third injection and the incidence of arthritis reached 100% at day 72 following the third immunization, whereas BALB/c mice immunized with ovalbumin or C57BL/6 mice immunized with proteoglycan were completely resistant to PGIA.
Our group previously observed spatially uniform recovery of explants following trypsin-induced GAG depletion using dGEMRIC, with the increases in [GAG] occurring most rapidly during the first week and slowing considerably after 3 weeks [ 14 ] . Williams et al . [ 15 ] used the same method to monitor GAG accumulation in tissue engineered cartilage over 6 weeks, and observed relatively steady GAG accumulation over the entire period, with the bulk of the accumulation occurring at the periphery of the explant.
Proteoglycan-induced arthritis (PGIA) is a novel autoimmune murine model that is induced by systemic immunization of BALB/c mice with cartilage proteoglycans [ 12 13 ] . The development of PGIA is based on the cross-reactive immune response between immunizing human and mouse (self) cartilage proteoglycans in genetically susceptible BALB/c mice [ 12 13 ] . Several lines of evidence indicate T-cell involvement in the pathogenesis of PGIA.
The cartilage is structurally insufficient and weak, contains fewer hypertrophic chondrocytes, displays much reduced staining for sulfated proteoglycans, and consists predominantly of immature chondrocytes, with a high fraction of proliferating cells.
