This study evaluated the effect of an antioxidant, Vitamin E, on cultured chondrocytes against H2O2-induced damage in vitro.Rat chondrocytes isolated from articular cartilage.Chondrocytes were pretreated with either 50 or 100 mu M Vitamin E or serum-free medium for 24 h followed by their exposure to 200 mu M H2O2 for 3 h. Chondrocytes without exposure to H2O2 served as control group.The effect of Vitamin E pretreatment was evaluated by examining proteoglycan contents, nitrite levels, viability, apoptosis, and senescence of cultured chondrocytes.Proteoglycan contents increased in groups treated with Vitamin E. Semi-quantitative real-time PCR data also correlated with these results and demonstrated that Vitamin E up-regulated expression of Agc1, Col2a1, and PCNA genes along with down-regulation in the expression of Col1a1 and Casp3 genes. The differentiation index improved after Vitamin E pretreatment. Nitrite levels were reduced with a corresponding increase in cell viability. Reduction in apoptosis and senescence was also observed after Vitamin E pretreatment. Moreover, a dose-dependent effect of Vitamin E was seen. In contrast to 50 mu M Vitamin E, 100 mu M was more potent in inducing protection of chondrocytes from H2O2-induced oxidative damage.Vitamin E reversed the oxidant-induced alterations in chondrocytes and may be a good option to pretreat chondrocytes before transplantation.
