Purpose: In the present study the effect of BMP-6 was investigated on chondrogenesis of adiposederived stem cells. Materials and Methods: Mesenchymal stem cells derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue were cultured on alginate scaffold to induce chondrogenesis in experimental group, with chondrogenic medium having BMP-6 growth factor for 3 weeks. In control group medium without BMP-6 was applied. The harvested constructs were examined with immunohistochemical and RT-PCR methods for assessment of cartilage-specific characteristics. Results: The results of immunohistochemical method revealed the presence of typical cartilage extracellular matrix components such as type II collagen and aggrecan in constructs induced by BMP-6 growth factor on alginate scaffold. In addition evaluation of the results of RT-PCR analysis confirmed the expression of cartilage- specific genes, such as type II collagen and aggrecan, in the differentiated cells under the influence of growth factor BMP-6. Conclusion: It can be concluded that BMP-6 promotes chondrogenesis of ADSC in 3-D and adipose-derived stem cells could be used for cartilage tissue engineering.
