Abstract Meniscal tears are a common cause of stifle lameness in dogs. Use of autologous
synoviocytes from the affected stifle is an attractive cell source for tissue engineering
replacement fibrocartilage. However, the diseased state of these cells may impede
in vitro fibrocartilage formation. Synoviocytes from 12 osteoarthritic (“oaTSB”) and
6 normal joints (“nTSB”) were cultured as tensioned bioscaffolds and compared for
their ability to synthesize fibrocartilage sheets. Gene expression of collagens type
I and II were higher and expression of interleukin-6 was lower in oaTSB versus
nTSB. Compared with nTSB, oaTSB had more glycosaminoglycan and alpha smooth
muscle staining and less collagen I and II staining on histologic analysis, whereas
collagen and glycosaminoglycan quantities were similar. In conclusion, osteoarthritic
joint—origin synoviocytes can produce extracellular matrix components of meniscal
fibrocartilage at similar levels to normal joint—origin synoviocytes, which makes
them a potential cell source for canine meniscal tissue engineering.
