Utilizing Autologous Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and ?-Tricalcium Phosphate Scaffold in Human Bone Defects: A Prospective, Controlled Feasibility Trial.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this prospective controlled study was to compare healing quality following the implantation of ultraporous ?-tricalcium phosphate, containing either expanded autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (trial group, 9 patients) or ?-tricalcium phosphate alone (control group, 9 patients), into femoral defects during revision total hip arthroplasty. Both groups were assessed using the Harris Hip Score, radiography, and DEXA scanning at 6 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. A significant difference in the bone defect healing was observed between both groups of patients (P < 0.05). In the trial group, trabecular remodeling was found in all nine patients and in the control group, in 1 patient only. Whereas, over the 12-month follow-up period, no significant difference was observed between both groups of patients in terms of the resorption of ?-tricalcium phosphate, the significant differences were documented in the presence of radiolucency and bone trabeculation through the defect (P < 0.05). Using autologous mesenchymal stromal cells combined with a ?-tricalcium phosphate scaffold is a feasible, safe, and effective approach for management of bone defects with compromised microenvironment. The clinical trial was registered at the EU Clinical Trials Register before patient recruitment has begun (EudraCT number 2012-005599-33).

Project description:This prospective study sought to evaluate the healing quality of implanted ultraporous ?-tricalcium phosphate sown with expanded autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) into femoral defects during revision hip arthroplasty. A total of 37 osseous defects in 37 patients were treated and evaluated concerning bone regeneration. Nineteen subjects received ?-tricalcium phosphate graft material serving as a carrier of expanded autologous MSCs (the trial group A), nine subjects received ?-tricalcium phosphate graft material only (the study group B) and nine subjects received cancellous allografts only (the control group C). Clinical and radiographic evaluations were scheduled at 6 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months post-operatively, and performed at the most recent visit as well. All observed complications were recorded during follow-up to assess the use of an ultraporous ?-tricalcium phosphate synthetic graft material combined with expanded MSCs in bone defect repair. The resulting data from participants with accomplished follow-up were processed and statistically evaluated with a Freeman-Halton modification of the Fischer's exact test, a P < 0.05 value was considered to be significant. Whereas no significant difference was observed between the trial group A with ?-tricalcium phosphate synthetic graft material serving as a carrier of expanded autologous MSCs and control group C with cancellous impaction allografting in terms of the bone defect healing, significant differences were documented between the study group B with ?-tricalcium phosphate graft material only and control group C. Regarding adverse effects, six serious events were recorded during the clinical trial with no causal relationship to the cell product. ?-tricalcium phosphate synthetic graft material serving as a carrier of expanded autologous MSCs appears safe and promotes the healing of bone defects in a jeopardized and/or impaired microenvironment. This clinical trial was registered at the EU Clinical Trials Register before patient recruitment (Registration number: EudraCT number 2012-005599-33; Date of registration: 2013-02-04).

Project description:BackgroundPosterolateral spinal fusion with autologous bone graft is considered the "gold standard" for lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) when surgical treatment is indicated. The potential role of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to replace the bone graft in this setting has not been fully addressed.ObjectiveTo analyze the safety, feasibility and potential clinical efficacy of the implantation of autologous MSCs embedded with tricalcium phosphate as a therapeutic alternative to bone graft in patients with DDD during posterolateral spine fusion.Study designPhase I/II single-arm prospective clinical trial.MethodsEleven patients with monosegmental DDD at L4-L5 or L5-S1 level were included. Autologous bone marrow-derived MSC were expanded in our Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Facility and implanted during spinal surgery embedded in a tricalcium phosphate carrier. Monitoring of patients included a postoperative period of 12 months with four visits (after the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th month), with clinical and radiological assessment that included the visual analog scale (VAS), the Oswestry disability index (ODI), the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), the vertebral fusion grade observed through a simple Rx, and the evaluation of possible complications or adverse reactions. In addition, all patients were further followed up to 5 years for outcome.ResultsMedian age of patients included was 44 years (range 30-58 years), and male/female ratio was (6/5) L4-L5 and L5-S1 DDD was present five and six patients, respectively. Autologous MSCs were expanded in all cases. There were no adverse effects related to cell implantation. Regarding efficacy, both VAS and ODI scores improved after surgery. Radiologically, 80% of patients achieved lumbar fusion at the end of the follow-up. No adverse effects related to the procedure were recorded.ConclusionsThe use of autologous MSCs for spine fusion in patients with monosegmental degenerative disc disease is feasible, safe, and potentially effective.Trial registrationno.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Use of bioscaffolds to direct osteogenic differentiation of adult multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) without exogenous proteins is a contemporary approach to bone regeneration. Identification of in vivo osteogenic contributions of exogenous MSCs on bioscaffolds after long-term implantation is vital to understanding cell persistence and effect duration. METHODS:This study was designed to quantify in vivo equine MSC osteogenesis on synthetic polymer scaffolds with distinct mineral combinations 9 weeks after implantation in a murine model. Cryopreserved, passage (P)1, equine bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSC) and adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ASC) were culture expanded to P3 and immunophenotyped with flow cytometry. They were then loaded by spinner flask on to scaffolds composed of tricalcium phosphate (TCP)/hydroxyapatite (HA) (40:60; HT), polyethylene glycol (PEG)/poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) (60:40; GA), or PEG/PLLA/TCP/HA (36:24:24:16; GT). Scaffolds with and without cells were maintained in static culture for up to 21 days or implanted subcutaneously in athymic mice that were radiographed every 3 weeks up to 9 weeks. In vitro cell viability and proliferation were determined. Explant composition (double-stranded (ds)DNA, collagen, sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG), protein), equine and murine osteogenic target gene expression, microcomputed tomography (?CT) mineralization, and light microscopic structure were assessed. RESULTS:The ASC and BMSC number increased significantly in HT constructs between 7 and 21 days of culture, and BMSCs increased similarly in GT constructs. Radiographic opacity increased with time in GT-BMSC constructs. Extracellular matrix (ECM) components and dsDNA increased significantly in GT compared to HT constructs. Equine and murine osteogenic gene expression was highest in BMSC constructs with mineral-containing scaffolds. The HT constructs with either cell type had the highest mineral deposition based on ?CT. Regardless of composition, scaffolds with cells had more ECM than those without, and osteoid was apparent in all BMSC constructs. CONCLUSIONS:In this study, both exogenous and host MSCs appear to contribute to in vivo osteogenesis. Addition of mineral to polymer scaffolds enhances equine MSC osteogenesis over polymer alone, but pure mineral scaffold provides superior osteogenic support. These results emphasize the need for bioscaffolds that provide customized osteogenic direction of both exo- and endogenous MSCs for the best regenerative potential.
