Bone marrow cell extract promotes the regeneration of irradiated bone.

ABSTRACT: Mandibular osteoradionecrosis is a severe side effect of radiotherapy after the treatment of squamous cell carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract. As an alternative to its treatment by micro-anastomosed free-flaps, preclinical tissular engineering studies have been developed. Total bone marrow (TBM) associated with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) significantly enhanced bone formation in irradiated bone. One mechanism, explaining how bone marrow cells can help regenerate tissues like this, is the paracrine effect. The bone marrow cell extract (BMCE) makes use of this paracrine mechanism by keeping only the soluble factors such as growth factors and cytokines. It has provided significant results in repairing various tissues, but has not yet been studied in irradiated bone reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of BMCE via an intraosseous or intravenous delivery, with a calcium phosphate scaffold, in irradiated bone reconstruction. Twenty rats were irradiated on their hind limbs with a single 80-Gy dose. Three weeks later, surgery was performed to create osseous defects. The intraosseous group (n = 12) studied the effect of BMCE in situ, with six combinations (empty defect, BCP, TBM, BCP-TBM, lysate only, BCP-lysate). After four different combinations of implantation (empty defect, BCP, TBM, BCP-TBM), the intravenous group (n = 8) received four intravenous injections of BMCE for 2 weeks. Five weeks after implantation, samples were explanted for histological and scanning electron microscopy analysis. Lysate immunogenicity was studied with various mixed lymphocyte reactions. Intravenous injections of BMCE led to a significant new bone formation compared to the intraosseous group. The BCP-TBM mixture remained the most effective in the intraosseous group. However, intravenous injections were more effective, with TBM placed in the defect, with or without biomaterials. Histologically, highly cellularized bone marrow was observed in the defects after intravenous injections, and not after an in situ use of the lysate. The mixed lymphocyte reactions did not show any proliferation after 3, 5, or 7 days of lysate incubation with lymphocytes from another species. This study evaluated the role of BMCE in irradiated bone reconstruction. There were significant results arguing in favor of BMCE intravenous injections. This could open new perspectives to irradiated bone reconstruction.

Project description:Bone marrow concentrate (BMC), which is enriched in mononuclear cells (MNCs) and platelets, has recently attracted the attention of clinicians as a new optional means for bone engineering. We previously reported that the osteoinductive effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) could be enhanced synergistically by co-transplantation of peripheral blood (PB)-derived platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This study aims to investigate whether BMC can effectively promote bone formation induced by low-dose BMP-2, thereby reducing the undesirable side-effects of BMP-2, compared to PRP. Human BMC was obtained from bone marrow aspirates using an automated blood separator. The BMC was then seeded onto β-TCP granules pre-adsorbed with a suboptimal-dose (minimum concentration to induce bone formation at 2 weeks in mice) of recombinant human (rh) BMP-2. These specimens were transplanted subcutaneously to the dorsal skin of immunodeficient-mice and the induction of ectopic bone formation was assessed 2 and 4 weeks post-transplantation. Transplantations of five other groups [PB, PRP, platelet-poor plasma (PPP), bone marrow aspirate (BM), and BM-PPP] were employed as experimental controls. Then, to clarify the effects on vertical bone augmentation, specimens from the six groups were transplanted for on-lay placement on the craniums of mice. The results indicated that BMC, which contained an approximately 2.5-fold increase in the number of MNCs compared to PRP, could accelerate ectopic bone formation until 2 weeks post-transplantation. On the cranium, the BMC group promoted bone augmentation with a suboptimal-dose of rhBMP-2 compared to other groups. Particularly in the BMC specimens harvested at 4 weeks, we observed newly formed bone surrounding the TCP granules at sites far from the calvarial bone. In conclusion, the addition of BMC could reduce the amount of rhBMP-2 by one-half via its synergistic effect on early-phase osteoinduction. We propose here that BMC transplantation facilitates the clinical use of rhBMP-2 as an alternative strategy for bone engineering.

Project description:Background: Irradiation disrupts the vascular niche where hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside, causing delayed hematopoietic reconstruction. The subsequent recovery of sinusoidal vessels is key to vascular niche regeneration and a prerequisite for hematopoietic reconstruction. We hypothesize that resident bone marrow macrophages (BM-Mφs) are responsible for repairing the HSC niche upon irradiation injury. Methods: We examined the survival and activation of BM-Mφs in C57BL/6 mice upon total body irradiation. After BM-Mφ depletion via injected clodronate-containing liposomes and irradiation injury, hematopoietic reconstruction and sinusoidal vascular regeneration were assessed with immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Then enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry were performed to analyze the contribution of VEGF-A released by BM-Mφs to the vascular restructuring of the HSC niche. VEGF-A-mediated signal transduction was assessed with transcriptome sequencing, flow cytometry, and pharmacology (agonists and antagonists) to determine the molecular mechanisms of Piezo1-mediated responses to structural changes in the HSC niche. Results: The depletion of BM-Mφs aggravated the post-irradiation injury, delaying the recovery of sinusoidal endothelial cells and HSCs. A fraction of the BM-Mφ population persisted after irradiation, with residual BM-Mφ exhibiting an activated M2-like phenotype. The expression of VEGF-A, which is essential for sinusoidal regeneration, was upregulated in BM-Mφs post-irradiation, especially CD206+ BM-Mφs. The expression of mechanosensory ion channel Piezo1, a response to mechanical environmental changes induced by bone marrow ablation, was upregulated in BM-Mφs, especially CD206+ BM-Mφs. Piezo1 upregulation was mediated by the effects of irradiation, the activation of Piezo1 itself, and the M2-like polarization induced by the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Piezo1 activation was associated with increased expression of VEGF-A and increased accumulation of NFATC1, NFATC2, and HIF-1α. The Piezo1-mediated upregulation in VEGF-A was suppressed by inhibiting the calcineurin/NFAT/HIF-1α signaling pathway. Conclusion: These findings reveal that BM-Mφs play a critical role in promoting vascular niche regeneration by sensing and responding to structural changes after irradiation injury, offering a potential target for therapeutic efforts to enhance hematopoietic reconstruction.
