To examine the effects of TGF-β1 on joint pathology, we used adenovirus-mediated intra-articular gene delivery to confer sustained intra-articular TGF-β1 expression in both naïve and arthritic rabbit knee joints.
Twenty-four hours after induction of AIA, adenoviral particles encoding either the human TGF-β1 or luciferase were suspended in 0.2 ml Gey's saline and injected into the joint space of the knee through the patellar tendon.
In addition, TGF-β1 expression in the adenovirally infected synovial lining also resulted in induction of chondrogenesis in the synovium.
Although TGF-β1 may have certain anti-inflammatory properties, it is unable to stimulate repair of damaged cartilage, and even stimulates cartilage degradation.
It has been speculated that intra-articular delivery of TGF-β1 would result in enhanced synthesis of new matrix [ 9 ] . Indeed, we have reported previously that the TGF-β1 gene is more effective than insulin-like growth factor type 1 and bone morphogenetic protein type 2 genes in stimulating new matrix synthesis from rabbit chondrocytes in culture.
