This experiment investigated the effects of oxidative stress on human chondrocytes by treating immortalized human chondrocytes with tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). The study evaluated mitochondrial membrane depolarization and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production to establish a model of oxidative stress in chondrocytes. This served as a foundation to test whether mitochondrial transfer from MSCs to chondrocytes is increased under oxidative stress conditions, which is relevant for understanding potential therapeutic mechanisms in degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis.
PRIMARY OUTCOME
mitochondrial membrane depolarization and ROS production

Increased oxidative stress markers in treated chondrocytes
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Measurable mitochondrial membrane depolarization and increased ROS production
