Multidifferentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells in three-dimensional collagen gel cultures

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a great therapeutic potential resulting from their ability to differentiate into multiple tissues when cultured under specific conditions. However, it has not been clearly demonstrated whether or not MSCs exhibit a multidifferentiation potential in three-dimensional collagen gel cultures. This study was conducted to explore the multidifferentiation potential of MSCs cultured in three-dimensional collagen gels. Human MSCs were cultured in 0.3% collagen gel for 20 days in chondrogenic differentiation medium (CDM), and for 14 days in osteogenic differentiation medium (ODM). Increases in GAG deposits, intensity of toluidine blue staining, and mRNA expressions of chondrogenic markers (type II collagen and type X collagen) were found in human MSCs cultured in the collagen gel maintained in CDM. Positive staining for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red, and increases in mRNA expressions of osteogenic markers (type I collagen, bone sialoprotein and ALP) were noted in the MSCs maintained in ODM. These findings emphasize that human MSCs have an ability to differentiate into both bone and cartilaginous tissues in three-dimensional collagen gel cultures, indicating potential clinical applications of MSC transplant therapy with collagen gel as a scaffold for bone or cartilage regeneration in complicated tissue defects.

The effect of glow discharge plasma surface modification of polymers on the osteogenic differentiation of committed human mesenchymal stem cells

Little is known of the effect of material surfaces on stem cell differentiation. The present study has addressed the hypothesis that the interaction of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with material surfaces modified by glow discharge plasma is a major regulator of osteogenic differentiation. We found that biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) plasma treated in ammonia significantly reduced up-regulation of expression of osteogenic marker genes, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OC). In contrast, ALP expression was up-regulated when cultured on treated Nylon-6 polyamide (Ny-t) but was substantially reduced when cultured on its pristine counterpart (Ny-p) on day 3. On day 7, ALP expression was down-regulated with MSCs cultured on Ny-t although its expression level was up again on day 14. BSP was expressed weakly on day 3, but was up-regulated when cultured on Ny-t and Ny-p. Its expression reached its maximum on day 14 when cultured on a polystyrene control, while it was cyclically up-regulated on Ny-t. Similarly, there was a slight increase in OC expression when MSCs were cultured on Ny-t and Ny-p on day 3, when compared to control. Thus, the nature of the surface can directly influence MSCs differentiation, ultimately affecting the quality of new tissue formation with BOPP-t suppressing osteogenic differentiation.     

microRNA-25-3p suppresses osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in patients with osteoporosis by targeting ITGB3

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of the microRNA (miR)-25–3p/ITGB3 axis on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from patients with osteoporosis (OP). BMSCs isolated from the bone marrow of healthy controls and OP patients were identified by flow cytometry, in which ITGB3 mRNA and miR-25–3p expression was detected by RT-qPCR and ITGB3, Runx2, OPN, ALP, and OSX protein expression by western blot. The binding between ITGB3 and miR-25–3p was assessed by dual-luciferase reporter gene and Ago2-RIP assays. BMSC osteogenic differentiation was observed by alizarin red staining and ALP activity. The differentiation of BMSCs to adipocytes and chondrocytes was measured by oil red O staining and alcian blue staining, respectively. BMSCs were successfully isolated from the bone marrow of healthy controls (normal-BMSCs) and OP patients (OP-BMSCs). ITGB3, Runx2, OPN, ALP, and OSX expression was poorer and miR-25–3p expression was higher in OP-BMSCs than in normal-BMSCs. Mechanistically, ITGB3 was negatively targeted by miR-25–3p. After osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs were successfully induced, adipogenic differentiation increased and osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation decreased in OP-BMSCs compared with normal-BMSCs. Overexpression of ITGB3 facilitated mineralized nodule formation and elevated ALP activity and Runx2, OPN, and ALP expression in OP-BMSCs. miR-25–3p upregulation diminished mineralized nodule formation, ALP activity, and Runx2, OPN, and ALP expression in OP-BMSCs and normal-BMSCs, which was annulled by additional ITGB3 overexpression. miR-25–3p targets ITGB3, thereby suppressing osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs from OP patients.

Chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells on photoreactive polymer-modified surfaces

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured on polystyrene surfaces modified with photoreactive azidophenyl-derivatives of three different chargeable polymers, poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc), polyallylamine (PAAm), and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The MSCs adhered and spread both on a PAAm-modified surface and on PAAc-modified and polystyrene (control) surfaces. However, the cells adhered more easily to the PAAm-modified surface. The MSCs did not attach to the PEG-modified surface and aggregated to form pellets immediately after cell seeding. The cells proliferated on the PAAc-, PAAm-modified and control surfaces with culture time, formed a monolayer, and aggregated to form pellets. The cells in the pellets that formed on the PAAm- and PEG-modified surfaces after 2 weeks culture had a round morphology and the extracellular matrices were positively stained by safranin O and toluidine blue, while those that formed on the PAAc-modified and control surfaces had a spindle, fibroblast-like morphology and were not positively stained by safranin O and toluidine blue. The pellets that formed on the PAAm- and PEG-modified surfaces contained significantly higher levels of sulfated glycosaminoglycans than did those that formed on the PAAc-modified and control surfaces. Type II collagen and cartilage proteoglycan were immunohistologically detected in the pellets that formed on PAAm- and PEG-modified surfaces, but not those that formed on the PAAc-modified and control surfaces. The MSCs cultured on the PAAm- and PEG-modified surfaces expressed a high level of cartilaginous genes encoding type II collagen and aggrecan, while the MSCs cultured on the PAAc-modified and control surfaces did not express these genes. These results suggest that the PAAm-modified surface supported cell adhesion and proliferation and also promoted chondrogenic differentiation of the MSCs. The PAAc-modified and polystyrene surfaces supported cell adhesion and proliferation, but not chondrogenic differentiation. The PEG-modified surfaces did not support cell adhesion, but did promote chondrogenic differentiation. The adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of the MSCs could be controlled by surface chemistry.

A novel nanoparticle-enhanced photoacoustic stimulus for bone tissue engineering

In this study, we introduce a novel nanoparticle-enhanced biophysical stimulus based on the photoacoustic (PA) effect. We demonstrate that the PA effect differentiates bone marrow-derived marrow stromal cells (MSCs) grown on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymer films toward osteoblasts. We further show that the osteodifferentiation of the MSCs due to PA stimulation is significantly enhanced by the presence of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the polymer. MSCs, without the osteogenic culture supplements (0.01?M β-glycerophosphate, 50?mg/L ascorbic acid, 10(-8) M dexamethasone), were seeded onto plain glass slides, glass slides coated with PLGA, or glass slides coated with SWCNT-PLGA films and photoacoustically stimulated by a 527?nm Nd:YLF pulse laser, with a 200?ns pulse duration, and 10?Hz pulse frequency for 10?min a day for 15 consecutive days. The study had four control groups; three baseline controls similar to the three experimental groups but without PA stimulation, and one positive control where MSCs were grown on glass slides without PA stimulation but with osteogenic culture supplements. The osteogenic differentiation of all the groups was evaluated using quantitative assays (alkaline phosphatase, calcium, osteopontin) and qualitative staining (alizarin red). After 15 days, the PA stimulated groups showed up to a 350% increase in calcium content when compared with the non-PA stimulated positive control. Further, within the PA stimulated group, the PLGA-SWCNT group had 130% higher calcium values than the PLGA film without SWCNTs. These results were further corroborated by the analysis of osteopontin secretion, alkaline phosphatase expression, and qualitative alizarin red staining of extracellular matrix calcification. The results indicate that PA stimulation holds promise for bone tissue engineering and that the nanomaterials which enhance the PA effect should allow the development of biophysical rather than biochemical strategies to induce osteoinductive properties into tissue engineering scaffolds.

Electrosprayed Hydroxyapatite on Polymer Nanofibers to Differentiate Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Osteogenesis

Abstract

Electrospraying of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles onto the surface of polymer nanofibers provides a potentially novel substrate for the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into bone tissue regeneration. HA nanoparticles (4%) were electrosprayed on the surface of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers (420 ± 15 nm) for bone tissue engineering. PCL/HA nanofibers were comparatively characterized with PCL/Collagen (275 ± 56 nm) nanofibers by FT-IR analysis to confirm the presence of HA. Fabricated PCL/HA and PCL/Collagen nanofibers and TCP (control) were used for the differentiation of equine MSC into osteogenic lineages in the presence of DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with β-glycerophosphate, ascorbic acid and dexamethasone. Cell proliferation and differentiation into an osteogenic lineage was evaluated by MTS assay, SEM observation, ALP activity, ARS staining, quantification of mineral deposition and expression of osteocalcin. Proliferation of MSCs increased significantly (P ? 0.05) up to 12% in PCL/Collagen (day 15) compared to PCL/HA nanofibrous substrate. ALP activity was increased 20% in PCL/HA by day 10 confirming the direction of osteogenic lineage from MSCs differentiation. PCL/HA stimulated an increased mineral secretion up to 26% by day 15 on ARS staining compared to PCL/Collagen nanofibers and showing cuboidal morphology by expressing osteocalcin. These results confirmed that the specifically fabricated PCL/HA composite nanofibrous substrate enhanced the differentiation of MSCs into osteogenesis.     

Biofabricated marine hydrozoan: a bioactive crystalline material promoting ossification of mesenchymal stem cells

This study introduces a novel three-dimensional biomatrix obtained from the marine hydrocoral Millepora dichotoma as a scaffold for hard tissue engineering. Millepora dichotoma was biofabricated under field and laboratory conditions. Three-dimensional biomatrices were made in order to convert mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to exemplify osteoblastic phenotype. We investigated the effect of the biomatrices on MSCs proliferation and differentiation at 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, and 42 days. Different analyses were made: light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), calcium incorporation to newly formed tissue (alizarin red), bone nodule formation (von Kossa), fat aggregate formation (oil red O), collagen type I immunofluorescence, DNA concentrations, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and osteocalcin concentrations. MSCs seeded on Millepora dichotoma biomatrices showed higher levels of calcium and phosphate incorporation and higher type I collagen levels than did control Porites lutea biomatrices. ALP activity revealed that MSCs seeded on M. dichotoma biomatrices are highly osteogenic compared to those on control biomatrices. The osteocalcin content of MSCs seeded on M. dichotoma remained constant up to 2 weeks before rising to surpass that of seeded P. lutea biomatrices after 28 days. Our study thus showed that M. dichotoma biomatrices enhance the differentiation of MSCs into osteoblast and hence have excellent potential as bioscaffold for hard tissue engineering.     

Stimulation of human mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts activities in vitro on silicon-releasable scaffolds

Cellular activities of human osteoblasts (HOBs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on a silicon-releasable scaffold, siloxane-doped poly(lactic acid) and vaterite composite coated with hydroxycarbonate apatite (SPV-H), were estimated using a medium with or without organic factors, such as dexamethasone (Dex) and beta-glycerophosphate (beta-GP), for inducing mineralization or differentiation. As a control, a composite film containing no silicon (denoted by PV-H) was prepared using poly(lactic acid) and vaterite. HOBs cultured on SPV-H formed some agglomerates, bone nodules, after a 21-day culture in a medium without the organic factors, whereas no agglomerate was observed on PV-H. Laser Raman spectra implied that calcium phosphate precipitated in HOBs on the SPV-H. The silicon species in SPV-H stimulated HOBs to mineralization. The culture tests using MSCs show that the level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in the cells cultured on SPV-H increased during the 21-day culture in a medium without Dex and beta-GP. The level was unchanged in MSCs cultured on PV-H. In the case of supplementing Dex and beta-GP to the medium, the level of ALP activity in MSCs cultured on SPV-H was higher than that on PV-H at all time points during the 21-day culture. The silicon species in SPV-H were regarded to induce and enhance the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.     

Modulation of mesenchymal stem cells behaviors by chitosan/gelatin/pectin network films

In this article, the chitosan/gelatin/pectin (CGP) network films were prepared to build appropriate physicochemical and mechanical microenvironment for attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Results suggested that the hydrophilicity and mechanical character of CGP composites films could be modulated via adjusting the pectin content in the composites. The investigations of attachment and proliferation behaviors of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the CGP films were carried out. The morphology of cells was observed with hematoxylin/eosin staining (HE) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was investigated via ALP and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results suggested that the CGP films have excellent biocompatibility. MSCs seeded on CGP (0.1) film show higher proliferation capacity compared with other samples. Moreover, osteogenic differentiation of MSCs also depends on the properties of the substrate. The MSCs seeded on CGP (0.5) expressed the highest ALP activity, osteogenic gene expression and mineral formation capacity. These results suggest that the composition of the CGP network films could effectively modulate their physicochemical and mechanical properties and further regulate the cell behaviors of MSCs.
