Abstract
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) has a role in the regulation of the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In this study, TUDCA was demonstrated to increase osteogenic differentiation at a low concentration (25 μM) and chondrogenic differentiation at a high concentration (2500 μM). We investigated the regeneration of osteochondral defects in a rat model using a bilayer plug loaded with two different concentration of TUDCA-PLGA microspheres (TUDCA-MS bilayer plug). The TUDCA-MS bilayer plug successfully regenerated cartilage and subchondral bone layer. Therefore, we suggest that the TUDCA-MS bilayer plug as a new treatment method for simultaneous regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone layer.
