    AnnotationMaterials on the basis of cycloolefin copolymers (COC) are suitable for subchondral defect repairs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of surface modification of COC and COC/LLDPE blends on the viability and gene expression of chondrocytes. Human chondrocytes were incubated on the surface of the studied materials. Half of the materials were plasmatically modified with a subsequent type II collagen application. The gene expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1,-3,-13), pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, TNF-alpha) and apoptotic molecules (BAX, Bcl-2) was evaluated using quantitative Taq-Man PCR after 48 h incubation. Chondrocyte viability was evaluated by the MTT test after 2, 4 and 8 days of incubation. The synthesis of MMPs was measured by ELISA assay in cell culture medium after 48 h of incubation.
