Abstract This study was performed to investigate the transduction of a full-length superoxide dismutase SOD protein fused to transactivator of transcription Tat into human chondrocytes and to determine the regulatory function of transduced Tat-SOD in the inflammatory cytokine induced catabolic pathway. The pTat-SOD expression vector was constructed to express the basic domain of HIV-1 Tat as a fusion protein with Cu Zn-SOD. We also purified histidine-tagged SOD without an HIV-1 Tat and Tat-GFP as control proteins. Cartilage samples were obtained from patients with osteoarthritis OA and chondrocytes were cultured in both a monolayer and an explant. For the transduction of fusion proteins cells explants were treated with a variety of concentrations of fusion proteins. The transduced protein was detected by fluorescein labeling western blotting and .
