Background: Mechanical stresses are known to play important role on articular cartilage functions in vivo and also on cartilage explants and chondrocytes monolayer culture. This study examined the differential effect of cyclic and static pressures on chondrocytes cultured in alginate matrix, which is physiologically closer to the in vivo environment of cells in cartilage.
Methods: Goat knee joint articular cartilage chondrocytes cultured in alginate beads were exposed to 1.

Binding of proteoglycans to type I collagen in vitro was assessed using radiolabeled decorin, biglycan, and large proteoglycans and acid-extracted bovine tendon collagen. Decorin, biglycan, and large proteoglycans were all bound to collagen fibrils in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 3 mM sodium phosphate. Only decorin was bound when the phosphate concentration in PBS was increased to 30 mM.
