Conditioned media from mesenchymal stem cells enhanced bone regeneration in rat calvarial bone defects.

ABSTRACT: Tissue engineering has recently become available as a treatment procedure for bone augmentation. However, this procedure has several problems, such as high capital investment and expensive cell culture, complicated safety and quality management issues regarding cell handling, and patient problems with the invasive procedure of cell collection. Moreover, it was reported that stem cells secrete many growth factors and chemokines during their cultivation, which could affect cellular characteristics and behavior. This study investigated the effect of stem-cell-cultured conditioned media on bone regeneration. Cultured conditioned media from human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-CM) enhanced the migration, proliferation, and expression of osteogenic marker genes, such as osteocalcin and Runx2, of rat MSCs (rMSCs) in vitro. MSC-CM includes cytokines such as insulin-like growth factor-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor. In vivo, a prepared bone defect of a rat calvarial model was implanted in five different rat groups using one of the following graft materials: human MSCs/agarose (MSCs), MSC-CM/agarose (MSC-CM), Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium without serum [DMEM(-)]/agarose [DMEM(-)], PBS/agarose (PBS), and defect only (Defect). After 4 and 8 weeks, implant sections were evaluated using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis. Micro-CT analysis indicated that the MSC-CM group had a greater area of newly regenerated bone compared with the other groups (p<0.05) and histological analysis at 8 weeks indicated that the newly regenerated bone bridge almost covered the defect. Interestingly, the effects of MSC-CM were stronger than those of the MSC group. In vivo imaging and immunohistochemical staining of transgenic rats expressing green fluorescent protein also showed that migration of rMSCs to the bone defect in the MSC-CM group was greater than in the other groups. These results demonstrated that MSC-CM can regenerate bone through mobilization of endogenous stem cells. The use of stem-cell-cultured conditioned media for bone regeneration is a unique concept that utilizes paracrine factors of stem cells without cell transplantation.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells sheets have been verified as a promising non-scaffold strategy for bone regeneration. Alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, derived from neural crest, have the character of easily obtained and strong multi-differential potential. However, the bone regenerative features of alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells sheets in the craniofacial region remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to compare the osteogenic differentiation and bone defect repairment characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells sheets derived from alveolar bone (alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) and iliac bone (Lon-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) in vitro and in vivo. Histology character, osteogenic differentiation, and osteogenic gene expression of human alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Lon-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were compared in vitro. The cell sheets were implanted in rabbit calvarial defects to evaluate tissue regeneration characteristics. Integrated bioinformatics analysis was used to reveal the specific gene and pathways expression profile of alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Our results showed that alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells had higher osteogenic differentiation than Lon-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Although no obvious differences were found in the histological structure, fibronectin and integrin ?1 expression between them, alveolar-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells sheet exhibited higher mineral deposition and expression levels of osteogenic marker genes. After being transplanted in the rabbit calvarial defects area, the results showed that greater bone volume and trabecular thickness regeneration were found in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells sheet group compared to Lon-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group at both 4?weeks and 8?weeks. Finally, datasets of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells versus Lon-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (another neural crest derived mesenchymal stem cells) versus umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were analyzed. Total 71 differential genes were identified by overlap between the 2 datasets. Homeobox genes, such as LHX8, MKX, PAX9, MSX, and HOX, were identified as the most significantly changed and would be potential specific genes in neural crest mesenchymal stem cells. In conclusion, the Al-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells sheet-based tissue regeneration appears to be a promising strategy for craniofacial defect repair in future clinical applications.

Project description:IntroductionThree-dimensional (3D) clumps of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)/extracellular matrix (ECM) complexes, composed with cells and self-produced intact ECM, can be grafted into defect areas without artificial scaffold to induce successful bone regeneration. Moreover, C-MSCs pretreated with IFN-γ (C-MSCsγ) increased the immunomodulatory enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression and thereby inhibited T cell activity. Xenotransplantation of human C-MSCsγ suppressed host T cell immune rejection and induced bone regeneration in mice. Besides, we have also reported that C-MSCs retain the 3D structure and bone regenerative property even after cryopreservation. To develop the "off-the-shelf" cell preparation for bone regenerative therapy that is promptly provided when needed, we investigated whether C-MSCsγ can retain the immunosuppressive and osteogenic properties after cryopreservation.MethodsConfluent human MSCs that had formed on the cellular sheet were scratched using a micropipette tip and then torn off. The sheet was rolled to make a round clump of cells. The round cell clumps were incubated with a growth medium for 3 days, and then C-MSCs were obtained. To generate C-MSCsγ, after 2 days' culture, C-MSCs were stimulated with 50 ng/ml of IFN-γ. Both C-MSCs and C-MSCsγ were cryopreserved for 2 days and then thawed to obtain Cryo-C-MSCs and Cryo-C-MSCsγ, respectively. The biological properties of those cell clumps were assessed in vitro. In addition, to test whether human Cryo-C-MSCsγ attenuates immune rejection to induce bone regeneration, a xenograft study using a rat calvarial defect was performed.ResultsBoth IFN-γ pretreatment and cryopreservation process did not affect the 3D structure and cell viability in all human cell clumps. Interestingly, Cryo-C-MSCsγ showed significantly increased IDO mRNA expression equivalent to C-MSCsγ. More importantly, xenotransplantation of human C-MSCsγ and Cryo-C-MSCsγ induced rat calvarial bone regeneration by suppressing rat T cells infiltration and the grafted human cells reduction in the grafted area. Finally, there were no human donor cells in the newly formed bone, implying that the bone reconstruction by C-MSCsγ and Cryo-C-MSCsγ can be due to indirect host osteogenesis.ConclusionThese findings implied that Cryo-C-MSCsγ can be a promising bone regenerative allograft therapy that can be certainly and promptly supplied on demand.
