The aim of this study was to investigate whether treating developing tissue\u2010engineered cartilage constructs with modulators of intracellular Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> or Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> could increase collagen concentration and construct tensile properties.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Inhibitors of Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> ion transporters and stimulators of intracellular Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> were investigated for their ability to affect articular cartilage development in a scaffoldless, 3\u2010dimensional chondrocyte culture. Using a systematic approach, we applied ouabain (Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\/K<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\u2010ATPase inhibitor), bumetanide (Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\/K<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\/2Cl<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup> tritransporter inhibitor), histamine (cAMP activator), and ionomycin (a Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> ionophore) to tissue\u2010engineered constructs for 1 hour daily on days 10\u201314 of culture and examined the constructs at 2 weeks or 4 weeks. The gross morphology, biochemical content, and compressive and tensile mechanical properties of the constructs were assayed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of these experiments showed that 20 \u03bc<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic> ouabain, 0.3 \u03bc<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic> ionomycin, or their combination increased the tensile modulus by 40\u201395% compared with untreated controls and resulted in an increased amount of collagen normalized to construct wet weight. In constructs exposed to ouabain, the increased percentage of collagen per construct wet weight was secondary to decreased glycosaminoglycan production on a per\u2010cell basis. Treatment with 20 \u03bc<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic> ouabain also increased the ultimate tensile strength of neo\u2010tissue by 56\u201386% at 4 weeks. Other construct properties, such as construct growth and type I collagen production, were affected differently by Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> modulation with ouabain versus Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> modulation with ionomycin.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These data are the first to show that treatments known to alter intracellular ion concentrations are a viable method for increasing the mechanical properties of engineered articular cartilage and identifying potentially important relationships to hydrostatic pressure mechanotransduction. Ouabain and ionomycin may be useful pharmacologic agents for increasing tensile integrity and directing construct
