  • STUDY ON DIFFERENTIATION OF EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS INTO OSTEOBLAST IN VITRO INDUCING BY 1,25 (OH)2VD3

    Objective To investigate the effect of 1,25(OH)2VD3 on differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into osteoblasts. Methods Osteoblasts were isolated and cultured from calvarium of 2-day-old Kunming white mice, embryoid bodies (EBs) were prepared with modified zur Nieden method. EBs were divided into 4 groups according to different mediums: group A, as the control group, in which EBs medium contained no leukemia inhibitory factor; group B, in which EBs medium contained supplements of Vitamin C (VC, 50 μg/mL) and β-glycerophosphate (β-GP, 50 mmol/L); group C, inwhich EBs medium was the same as that of group B and 5 × 104 osteoblasts of 3rd passage were seeded into each well; group D, in which the medium contained supplements of VC (50 μg/mL), β-GP (50 mmol/L) and 1,25(OH)2VD(4 × 10-9 mol/L), and 5 × 104 osteoblasts of 3rd passage were seeded into each well. The ALP activity was determined by ALP reagent kit every 5 days. The RQ-PCR was performed to measure the mRNA expressions of osteocalcin (OCN). Al izarin red S staining was performed to count the bone nodules. Results The expression of ALP witnessed no obvious change in each group within 5 days after adherence of EBs, but increased gradually after 5 days. The expression of ALP in group D reached the peak at 20 days. Red nodules with clear outl ine and different sizes were evident by microscope. Al izarin red S staining testified the number of bone noudles in groups A, B, C and D was 20 ± 8, 18 ± 5, 31 ± 1 and 50 ± 1, respectively, indicating significant differences between groups C, D and groups A, B (P lt; 0.05), no significant difference between group A and group B (P gt; 0.05), and a significant difference between group C and group D (P lt; 0.05). The result of RQ-PCR showed that the mRNA expressions of OCN in groups A, B, C and D was 10.18 ± 1.17, 20.29 ± 1.03, 18.84 ± 4.07 and 32.15 ± 5.23, respectively, indicating significant differences between groups C, D and groups A, B (P lt; 0.05), no significant difference between group A and group B (P gt; 0.05), and a significant difference between group C and group D (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion The combined action of 1,25(OH)2VD(4 × 10-9 mol/L), VC, and β-GP can effectively promote the differentiation of the ESCs-derived osteoblasts.
