Popis: Autologous chondrocytes are generally evaluated by mechanical, histological, and biochemical methods. However, the analyzed data are from discontinuous measurements at an end point, during which living chondrocytes are destroyed and stained. To solve the problem, we developed a label-free and noninvasive method of estimating extracellular matrix (ECM) production that results from chondrocyte metabolic activities using a cultured-chondrocyte-based gate ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) in this study. Using the cultured-chondrocyte-based gate ISFET sensor, we found that the change in electrical signal (ΔVout), which indicated the change in interfacial pH at the chondrocyte/gate nanogap (ΔpHint), gradually increased over 3 weeks upon adding a biologically active substance, l-ascorbic acid phosphate magnesium salt n-hydrate (APM), which was attributable to chondrocyte metabolic activities. The increase in ΔVout (ΔpHint) caused by the chondrocyte metabolic activities was also confirmed by the obser...
