Determination of Mechanical Properties of Chondrocytes in Articular Cartilage Using Atomic Force Microscopy

Abstract: Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) based nanoindentation is a widely used technique for measuring mechanical properties of living cells, providing information for understanding their mechanobiological behavior. However, very local properties of cell surfaces have not been characterized earlier. The goal of this study was to develop an AFM-based technique to determine local elastic properties of bovine articular chondrocytes. The Youngs modulus of chondrocytes was 19.3 ± 5.6 kPa for spread cells and 10 ± 4.1 kPa for… Show more

“…The chondrocytes considered for the experimental tests were primary cells and they were isolated from human and animal cartilage. The main method used for cell harvesting appears to be the enzymatic digestion of cartilage with pronase [41], collagenases [34,38,[44][45][46]50] or with both enzymes [35,36,39,41,42,49,[51][52][53][54]. More details are reported in Section 5.1.…”

However, although both techniques were developed to characterize cell mechanical behavior, significant differences in the underlying deformational mechanisms cast doubts on the equivalence of numerical results obtained by both techniques.…”
