Aiming to increase the content of type 2 collagen in scaffold-free cartilage-like cell sheets prepared using human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, the effect of several kinds of additives in a chondrogenic medium was investigated. Addition of ascorbic acid 2 phosphate (VCP) at a high concentration (250 µg/ml) and type 1 atelocollagen (5 µg/ml) increased the accumulation of type 2 collagen by fourfold and twofold, respectively. On the other hand, an antioxidant, glutathione showed no such effect. The synergistic effect of VCP and type 1 atelocollagen resulted in an eightfold increase in the accumulation level of type 2 collagen. Furthermore, the gene expression level of type 2 collagen increased and that of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) decreased to approximately one-third of the control. The increase in type 2 collagen accumulation in the scaffold-free cartilage-like cell sheet might be due to not only the enhancement of the synthesis but also the suppression of the degradation of type 2 collagen by MMP-13.
