Low power laser irradiation and human adipose-derived stem cell treatments promote bone regeneration in critical-sized calvarial defects in rats.

ABSTRACT: Both stem cell therapy and physical treatments have been shown to be beneficial in accelerating bone healing. However, the efficacy of combined treatment with stem cells and physical stimuli for large bone defects remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone regeneration effects of low-power laser irradiation (LPLI) and human adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) treatments during fracture repair using a comparative rat calvarial defect model. We evaluated the viability of human ADSCs, which were cultured on a porous PLGA scaffold using an MTS assay. The critical-sized calvarial bone defect rats were divided into 4 groups: control group, LPLI group, ADSC group, and ADSC+LPLI group. Bone formation was evaluated using micro-CT. New bone formation areas and osteogenic factor expression levels were then examined by histomorphological analysis and immunohistochemical staining. Our data showed that PLGA had no cytotoxic effect on human ADSCs. Micro-CT analyses revealed that both the LPLI and ADSC groups showed improved calvarial bone defect healing compared to the control group. In addition, the ADSC+LPLI group showed significantly increased bone volume at 16 weeks after surgery. The area of new bone formation ranked as follows: control group < LPLI group < ADSC group < ADSC+LPLI group. There were significant differences between the groups. In addition, both ADSC and ADSC+LPLI groups showed strong signals of vWF expression. ADSC and LPLI treatments improved fracture repair in critical-sized calvarial defects in rats. Importantly, the combined treatment of ADSCs and LPLI further enhances the bone healing process.

Project description: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:BACKGROUND:Studies have demonstrated that human adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) are able to repair acute calvarial injuries. The more clinically relevant repair of an established skeletal defect, however, has not been addressed. The authors sought to determine whether human ASCs could heal chronic (established) calvarial defects. METHODS:Critical-sized (4 mm) mouse parietal defects were created. Human ASCs were engrafted either immediately postoperatively (acute defect) or 8 weeks following defect creation (established defect). Methods of analysis included microcomputer tomography scans, histology, and in situ hybridization. Finally, human ASCs were treated in vitro with platelet-rich plasma to simulate an acute wound environment; proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were assessed (alkaline phosphatase, alizarin red, and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction). RESULTS:Nearly complete osseous healing was observed when calvarial defects were immediately engrafted with human ASCs. In contrast, when human ASCs were engrafted into established defects, little bone formation occurred. Histological analysis affirmed findings by microcomputer tomography, showing more robust staining for alkaline phosphatase and picrosirius red in an acute than in an established human ASC-engrafted defect. In situ hybridization and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction showed an increase in bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) expression (BMP-2, BMP-4, and BMP-7) acutely following calvarial defect creation. Finally, in vitro treatment of human ASCs with platelet-rich plasma enhanced osteogenic differentiation and increased BMP-2 expression. CONCLUSIONS:Although human ASCs can be utilized to heal an acute mouse calvarial defect, they do not enhance healing of an established (or chronic) defect. Endogenous BMP signaling activated after injury may explain these differences in healing. Platelet-rich plasma enhances osteogenic differentiation of human ASCs in vitro and may prove a promising therapy for future skeletal tissue engineering efforts.
