The phenotype of chondrocyte is easy to be lost when expanded in vitro by a process defined "dedifferentiation". Traditional growth factors such as transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) are effective in preventing of dedifferentiation, but high costs and loss of activity limited their use. It is of significance to find substitutes which can reduce dedifferentiation and preserve chondrocytes phenotype to ensure sufficient differentiated cells for further study.
