Local delivery of HMGB1 in gelatin sponge scaffolds combined with mesenchymal stem cell sheets to accelerate fracture healing.

ABSTRACT: Fracture nonunion and delayed union continue to pose challenges for orthopedic surgeons. In the present study, we combined HMGB1 gelatin sponges with MSC sheets to promote bone healing after surgical treatment of rat tibial fractures. The HMGB1 gelatin sponge scaffolds supported the expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and promoted the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and MSC sheets. Lentiviral vectors were then used to overexpress HMGB1 in MSCs. The results indicated that HMGB1 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs through the STAT3 pathway. Both siRNA and a STAT3 inhibitor downregulated STAT3, further confirming that HMGB1 induces the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs partly via the STAT3 signal pathway. In a rat tibial osteotomy model, we demonstrated the ability of HMGB1 gelatin sponge scaffolds to increase bone formation. The addition of MSC sheets further enhanced fracture healing. These findings support the use of HMGB1-loaded gelatin sponge scaffolds combined with MSC sheets to enhance fracture healing after surgical intervention.

Project description:BackgroundAt present, bone union delay or failure remains challenging for clinicians. It has been reported that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) offer a promising way to promote bone fracture healing. In recent years, nanomaterials have been applied in regenerative medicine. This study aimed to investigate whether ADMSCs combined with platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) could further improve fracture healing on the basis of ADMSCs.MethodsADMSCs were co-cultured with PtNPs in vitro to investigate the effect of PtNPs on the differentiation of ADMSCs. Twenty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups (with five rats in each group). The left tibias of all rats were fractured. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), PtNPs, ADMSC, and ADMSC mixed with PtNPs were then injected into the fracture sites based on the group classifications. The fracture was monitored by X-ray immediately after the fracture and on days 14 and 28 post-fracture. The tibias of the rats were subsequently harvested after the last X-ray and evaluated by micro computed tomography (micro-CT), histological analysis, and immunohistochemical detection.ResultsPtNPs significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of ADMSCs in vitro. On days 14 and 28 post-fracture, the radiographic score of the ADMSC + PtNPs group was higher than that of the ADMSC group, the score of the ADMSC group was higher than that of the PtNPs and control groups, and there was no significant difference between the PtNPs and control groups. Micro-CT confirmed that combined ADMSCs with PtNPs were more effective than using ADMSCs alone in promoting fracture healing. The histological and immunohistochemical results further supported this conclusion.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that PtNPs could promote osteogenic differentiation of ADMSC in vitro. ADMSCs combined with PtNPs could accelerate fracture healing further in vivo and are a promising a potential method for the treatment of fracture healing.

Project description:BackgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising targets for therapeutic use in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. In the previous study, we have found that MSCs could be reverted to a primitive stem cell population after in vitro induction of osteogenic and de-osteogenic differentiation (de-osteogenic differentiated MSCs, De-Os-MSCs). De-Os-MSCs showed improved cell survival and osteogenic potential. However, the underlying mechanism and its potential effect on fracture healing has not been explored.MethodsMSCs were isolated from the rat bone marrow. MicroRNAs were cloned into lentiviral vectors and transduced into MSCs to observe the effects on osteogenesis. The expression levels of marker genes were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR. Ectopic bone formation model was used to evaluate the bone regeneration ability of mir-92b transduced MSCs in vivo. An open femur fracture model was established, and MSCs or De-Os-MSCs were administrated to the fracture sites. Histological, biomechanical and microCT analysis were used to evaluate the quality of bone.ResultsIn the present study, we found that mir-92b was significantly increased in the secretions of De-Os-MSCs. And mir-92b could promote the osteogenic differentiation potential of MSCs by activating pERK and JNK signaling pathways. The ectopic bone formation assay showed that MSCs overexpressing mir-92b formed more bone like tissues in vivo. Most importantly, we found local administration of De-Os-MSCs could accelerate fracture healing using an open femur fracture model in rats. The quality of bone property was much better as shown by microCT and biomechanical testing.ConclusionTaken together, our study demonstrated that mir-92b promoted osteogenesis of MSCs, which was partially accounted for the enhanced osteogenic differentiation potential of De-Os-MSCs. And De-Os-MSCs had shown better regenerative capacity in accelerating fracture healing when they were locally given.The translational potential of this articleDe-Os-MSCs could be used to accelerate fracture healing, and reduce the occurrence of delayed unions and non-unions.
