Effects of oxygen‐free radicals on proliferation kinetics of cultured rabbit articular chondrocytes

Abstract: It can be postulated that among the factors implicated in cartilaginous lesions, oxygen-derived free radicals seem to have a prominent part. To investigate this hypothesis, rabbit articular chondrocyte cultures have been exposed to oxygen-derived reactive species generated by the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxydase system. We observed a dose-dependent decrease of cellular growth. In order to explain this result, cell cycle progression and binucleate cell fractions have been studied. A greater number of binucleate ce… Show more

“…In this work, we have focused on regulation ofexpression oftwo ofthese genes, histone and thymidine kinase (TK), in SV4OT-T2 cells exposed to hyperoxia. These genes are of particular interest as they are induced at the GI /S boundary, and several investigators have reported that inhibition of cell proliferation by reactive°2 species is characterized by arrest of cells late in the cell cycle ( 13,14). For this study, results were compared with a similarly produced SV40T lung fibroblast (SV40T-FIB) cell line and to primary lung FIB.…”

“…In a previous work, we have demonstrated modifications in the levels of several mitochondrial transcripts in rat liver carcinomas which were associated with mtDNA alterations (Corral et al, 1989a,b). Hence, a possible role of oxygen free radicals and mitochondrial damage in transformed cells cannot be excluded.In normal chondrocytes, we demonstrated that oxygen free radicals generated by the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system (HX-XO) induced proliferation kinetics perturbations (Vincent et al, 1989) which are associated with a decrease of c-myc and c-Ha-ras mR-NAs levels (Vincent et al, 1991). According to these results and because energy generated by mitochondria is essential for the survival and proliferation of eukaryotic cells (Ernster and Schatz, 1981; Fillingame 19801, we compared mitochondrial RNA levels in pseudosynchronized chondrocytes and in chondrocytes submitted to increased oxygen radical concentrations.…”

“…A few reports have shown evidence indicating that different cell types exposed to hydrogen peroxide display a reduced rate of proliferation, an increased multinucleation, expanded cell size, higher protein content pointing to cellular hypertrophy, premature senescence, as well as a higher prevalence of apoptosis [37, 38, 39]. Additional studies have shown the existence of a dose-related effect.…”
