Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the cytotoxic and metabolic effects of iohexol on cultured bovine chondrocytes in clinical dose. Chondrocytes were exposed to 50%, 25% and 12.5% iohexol and 50% mannitol for 2 hours. Cell proliferation, apoptosis and necrosis were analyzed. Real time PCR was performed for aggrecan, collagen type I and II gene expression. Cells in alginate beads stimulated by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were analyzed for cytotoxicity. MTT assay showed that 50% iohexol inhibited the proliferation of cells at 2 hours culture period. Propidium iodide results showed significantly higher dead cells at 50% iohexol compared to control, however PCR results revealed that chondrogenic gene were not affected. Cells in alginate beads stimulated with IL-1β showed significantly higher percentage of dead cells at 50% iohexol exposure (p<0.05). These results suggested that iohexol has a cytotoxicity on chondrocytes and this cytotoxic effect possibly increased in inflammatory joint diseases.
