Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Transforming growth factor beta 1 can mediate cartilage synthesis and inhibit decomposition of collagen and protein polysaccharide, which has a most important effect on induction of cartilage differentiation in vitro and maintenance of cartilage phenotype, realizing the functional repair of cartilage defects.
OBJECTIVE: Based on the biological characteristics, applications in biotechnology, gene polymorphism, signaling pathways and microRNA, to introduce research progress of transforming growth factor beta 1 influence on cartilage tissue metabolism.
METHODS: The first author searched CNKI and SPRINGERLINK databases (2007/2012) to retrieve articles related to transforming growth factor beta 1 influence on cartilage tissue metabolism using the key words of “transforming growth factor beta 1, cartilage differentiation, cartilage matrix” in Chinese and English, respectively. A total of 130 articles were retrieved, and finally 54 were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Transforming growth factor beta 1 can induce chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, promote cartilage-specific matrix synthesis, protect the cartilage matrix against proteolysis, enhance self-renew ability of cartilage tissues, and realize repair of cartilage injury. In the field of cartilage repair, transforming growth factor beta 1 demonstrates a great potential value.
