Objective: The prevalence of osteoarthritis (OAs) increases with age and coincides with the accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in articular cartilage, suggesting that accumulation of glycation products may be involved in the development of OA. This study was designed to examine the effects of accumulation of AGEs on the turnover of the extracellular matrix of human articular cartilage.Design: Chondrocyte mediated cartilage degradation (GAG release, colorimetric) was measured in human articular cartilage of donors aged 19-82 years (N=30, 4-day culture). In addition, to mimic the age-related increase in AGE levels in vitro, cartilage was cultured in the absence or presence of glucose, ribose or threose. Cartilage degradation and proteoglycan synthesis ((SO42-)-S-35 incorporation) were measured and related to the degree of cartilage AGE levels (fluorescence at 360/460 nm).Results: Chondrocyte-mediated degradation of articular cartilage (i.e. GAG release) decreased with increasing age of the cartilage donor (r= -0.43, P
