  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON A NEW BONE TISSUE ENGINEERED SCAFFOLD BIOMATERIALS COMBINED WITH CULTURED MARROW STROMAL STEM CELLS IN VITRO

    Objective To explore the biocompatibility of poly(lacticacid/glycolic acid/asparagic acid-co-polyethylene glycol) biomaterials (PLGA-ASP-PEG) and biological behaviors of cultured marrow stroml stem cells (MSCs) combined with this new type of scaffold in tissue engineering. Methods The PLGA-ASP-PEG tri-block copolymers were obtained through bulk ringopening copolymerization method.MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of 4 week old New Zealand rabbits. The 3rdgeneration MSCs were cultured combining with PLGA-ASP-PEG in vitro, while cells cultured in PLGA as control group. The cell adhesion rate and the adhesivepower were examined by conventional precipitation method and micropipette aspiration technique respectively. The morphological features were studied by scanning electron microscope. The proliferation behavior of the cells was analyzed by MTT assay. The cell cycle, proliferation index, DNA index and apoptosis of the cells were detected by flow cytometry. The synthesis of protein and collagen were examined by Coomassie Brilliant Blue dyes and 3H-Proline incorporation test. Results The MSCs adhered and grew well on the surface of the biomaterial PLGA-ASP-PEG. The powers of cell adhesion, proliferation and protein and collagen synthesis of the cells were all significantly higher than those of PLGA group (P<0.05), but the apoptosis rate was significantly lower than that of PLGA group (P<0.05). The DNA indexes showed the cells of both PLGA-ASP-PEG group and PLGAgroup were normal diploid cells. Conclusion PLGA-ASP-PEG showedgood biocompatibilityand the biological properties improved greatly compared with the PLGA scaffold materials. These results demonstrated that the promise of PLGAASPPEG canbe used as an ideal scaffold material for construction of tissue engineered bone to restore bone defects in bone tissue engineering.

  • OSTEOGENIC POTENTIAL OF PLATELETRICH PLASMA COMBINED WITH CELLS ANDARTIFICIAL BONE

    Objective To investigate the ability of plateletrich plasma(PRP) combined with cells and artificial bone in accelerating the repair of bone defect. Methods The marrow stromal stem cells (MSCs) of rabbit were cultured and induced into the osteoblast-like cells in vitro. PRP was produced with low-density twice centrifugations. Forty-eight New Zealand rabbits were made 1.2 cm bilateral radius defect models and divided into 4 groups averagely at random: group A(left:PRP/MSCs/β-tricalcium phosphate(β-TCP), right: MSCs/β-TCP), group B (left:autoradius, right: PRP/MSCs/β-TCP); group C (left:autoradius,right: MSCs/β-TCP), and group D(left:PRP/β-TCP; right:β-TCP). At 2, 6 and 12 weeks after operation, the repair of bone defect was evaluated by the generalobservation, histology, biomechanics and histomorphology. Results There was a stable platelet concentration in PRP and it was about 5.45±0.23 times of whole blood. In the aspect of bone bridge and conture of the defects, at 2 and 6 weeks, PRP/MSCs/β-TCP and MSCs/β-TCP displayed asimilar outcome and were less than auto in general sample and X-ray;at12 weeks,PRP/MSCs/β-TCP was similar to autoradius and better than MSCs/β-TCP.in the aspect of quantity and quality of bone formation,histology showed that PRP/MSCs/β-TCP and autoradius were better than MSCs/β-TCP(P<0.05),and there was nosignificantdifference between PRP/MSCs/β-TCP and autoradius(P>0.05). At 2 and 6 weeks,there was no significant difference between PRP/β-TCP and β-TCP(P>0.05)。At 12 weeks,PRP/β-TCP was better than β-TCP(P<0.05). In the aspect of intensity f bone formation,at 6 and 12 weeks,PRP/MSCs/β-TCP and autoradiuswere better than MSCs/β-TCP(P<0.05). At 6 weeks,autoradius was better than PRP/MSCs/β-TCP(P<0.05). At 12 weeks,there was no significant difference between PRP/MSCs/β-TCP and auto(P>0.05). PRP/TCP and β-TCP had no significant difference at 12 weeks(P>0.05). Conclusion PRP/MSCs/β-TCP demonstrated excellent ability of forming bone in experiment. PRP was most likely to accelerate the repair of bone defect through increasing the activity of proliferation and differentiationof MSCs and osteoblasts.

  • CONSTRUCTION OF RECOMBINANT ADENOVIRUS BEARING HUMAN TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR β1 AND BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 7 GENES AND ITS DIRECTIONAL INDUCEMENT EFFECT ON MARROW STROMAL STEM CELLS

    Objective To construct the recombinant adenovirus bearing human transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1) and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) genes, and investigate its co-expression in the marrow stromalstemcells (MSCs) and bioactivity effect. Methods Using the replication defective adenovirus AdEasy as a carrier, MSCs were infected by the high-titer-level recombinant adenovirus taking TGF-β1 and BMP-7 genes. Immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization,reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and hexuronic acid level test were used to detect the coexpression of the exogenous genes and to analyze their effect transfection on directive differentiation of MSCs. Results The immunocytochemistry staining showed that the brown coarse grains were situated in the cytoplasm of the most MSCs 72 h after infection. Procollagen ⅡmRNA in the cells was detected by the in situ hybridization, and the content of hexuronic acid in the culture mediumwas significantly increased 10 days after infection compared with the level before infecton (Plt;0.01). Conclusion The recombinant adenovirus bearing human TGF-β1 and BMP-7 genes can be constructed, and the exogenous gene can be coexpressed in MSCs, which may offer a novel approach to thelocal combination gene therapy for repairing joint cartilage defects.

  • EFFECTS OF OSTEOBLASTS AND INDUCTOR ON PROLIFERATION AND OSTEODIFFE RENTIATION OF MARROW STROMAL STEM CELLS

    Objective To find a new culture system to induce proliferation and osteodifferentiation of marrow stromal cells (MSCs) in vitro for bone tissueeng ineering. Methods There were four groups in this experiment to study effects of Passage 3 osteoblasts derived from the rat cranium and the osteogenic inductor (1 nmol/L dexamethasone,10 mmol/L beta-glycero-phosphate,50 μg/ml retin oic acid) on growth of MSCs isolated from the rat femur and the tibia. MSCs were cultured in the DMEM medium (the c ontrol group) and in the osteoinductive culture medium (the inductor group);fur thermore, MSCs were co-cultured with the osteoblasts in the DMEM medium (the osteoblast group) and in the osteoinductive culture medium (the combined treatment group).The cells in the four groups were counted every 2 days for 8 days and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of MSCs at 10 days of cultivation was measured.The MRNA expression of osteocalcin (OC) of MSCs at 2 weeks was assayed with the reverse transcript polymase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results There were more cells in the osteoblast group than in the control group(31.73±3.31×104 V S. 24.33±3.04×104, Plt;0.05), but there were fewer cells in the inductor gro up(16.23±2.44×104, Plt;0.05). There was no significant difference in th e cell number between the combined treatment group (21.54±2.29×104) and th e control group(Pgt;0.05).The ALP activity was higher in the combined trea tment group (2.01±0.56 U)than in the control group (1.27±0.43 U), in the inductor group(1.27±0.43 U), and in the osteoblast group (0.77±0.19 U).The osteocalcin mRNA was expressed in the three treat ment groups but was not expressed in the control group. The significantly higher leve l of the osteocalcin mRNA was expressed in the inductor group(0.783±0.094)and in the combined treatment group(0.814±0.071)than in the osteoblast group(0.302±0.026) (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The combined use of t he osteoblast and the inductor can induce marrow stromal cells. Their combined u se does not affect the normal proliferation but can obviously promote the osteodifferentiation of marrow stromal cells. This combined use can become a new culture system of the seed cells for bone tissue engineering.

  • STUDY ON THE DIFFERENTIATION OF MARROW STROMAL STEM CELLS INTO NEURAL CELLS IN VITRO

    Objective To investigate the neural markers’ expression in the differentiation of marrow stromal stem cells(MSCs) into neural cells. Methods Rats MSCs were expanded as undifferentiated cells in vitro for 5 to7 generations and cultured in a modified neuronal medium(MNM) after 24 hours of all-trans retinoidacid(ATRA) pretreatment. Immunocytochemistry was used to detect the expression of nestin、neuron-specific nuclear protein(NeuN)、microtubule-associated protein2 (MAP-2) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) at different timepoints. Results After ATRA and MNM treatment, MSCs progressively assumed neuronal morphological characteristics. Nestin occurred first after 24 hours of ATRA treatment; then NeuN expressed after 2 hours of MNM treatment; the last one was MAP-2 and it was detected after 9 hours of MNM treatment. Other markers continuously expressed except that the expression of nestin peaked after 18 hours of MNM induction and remarkably decreased after 36 hours. Conclusion ATRA and MNM could promote the differentiation of MSCs into neural cells and the expression of neural-specific markers was consistent with current knowledge regarding the timepoints of markers expression in the neuronal development which provides a good model in vitro for neuronal development research.
