Effect of Dy3+on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of mouse primary bone marrow stromal cells and adipocytic trans-differentiation of mouse primary osteoblasts

A series of experimental methods including 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity measurement, mineralized function, Oil Red O stain and measurement were employed to assess the effect of Dy³⁺ on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of mouse primary bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and the adipogenic trans-differentiation of mouse primary osteoblasts (OBs). The results showed that Dy³⁺ had no effect on BMSC proliferation at concentrations of 1×10⁻⁸ and 1×10⁻⁵ mol/L, but inhibited BMSC proliferation at other concentrations. Dy³⁺ had no effect on OB proliferation at concentrations of 1×10⁻¹⁰ and 1×10⁻⁹ mol/L, but inhibited OB proliferation at other concentrations. Dy³⁺ had no effect on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs at concentrations of 1×10⁻⁹ and 1×10⁻⁷ mol/L, and promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs at other concentrations at the 7th day. The osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was inhibited by Dy³⁺ at concentration of 1×10⁻⁵ mol/L at the 14th day, but promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs at concentrations of 1×10⁻⁹, 1×10⁻⁸, 1×10⁻⁷ and 1×10⁻⁶ mol/L with the maximal effect at concentration of 10⁻⁶ mol/L. Dy³⁺ promoted mineralized function of BMSCs at any concentration. Dy³⁺ had no effect on adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs at concentration of 1×10⁻⁷ mol/L, but inhibited adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs at other concentrations. Dy³⁺ inhibited adipocytic trans-differentiation of OBs at any concentration, suggesting that Dy³⁺ had protective effect on bone and the protective effect on bone may be mediated by modulating differentiation of BMSCs away from the adipocyte and inhibiting adipocytic trans-differentiation of OBs which may promote differentiation and mineralization of OBs. These results may be valuable for better understanding the mechanism of the effect of Dy³⁺ on pathogenesis of osteoporosis.

目的:探讨在不使用细胞因子或化学药物的情况下,成骨细胞(Osteoblast,OB)与骨髓基质细胞(Bone Marrow Stromal Cells,BMSCs)混合培养时,成骨细胞提供的成骨微环境能否在体外诱导BMSCs向成骨细胞分化,并复合支架形成成熟的骨组织.研究成骨细胞诱导BMSCs有效成骨的最小比值(指成骨细胞与骨髓基质干细胞数量的比值).方法:SY别培养SD乳鼠的成骨细胞与SD大鼠的BMSCs,将成骨细胞和BMSCs以1:9、2:8、3:7、1:0的不同比例进行混合培养,通过测定第3、6、9天培养液上清中的碱性磷酸酶(ALP)的含量,研究成骨细胞促BMSCs有效成骨的最小比值.将两种细胞以该最小浓度比混匀接种于涂附Ⅰ型胶原壳聚糖材料支架上(直径9 mm,高3mm)作为混合培养组,相同终浓度的单纯成骨细胞和单纯BMSCs分别接种于相同支架作为阳性对照及阴性对照.另设置低比值成骨细胞对照组(仅含有共培养组中相同的成骨细胞数,但不含有共培养组中的BMSCs).全部标本均于体外培养8周后取材,通过大体观察、组织学及免疫组织化学等相关检测对新生骨进行评价.结果:成骨细胞和BMSCs以3:7的比例进行混合培养时已可实现有效成骨.3:7比例的混合培养组及阳性对照组(成骨细胞组)体外培养8周后大体观察和苏木素-伊红染色(HE)、ALP染色基本相同,均表达骨特异性细胞外基质Ⅰ型胶原,形成了较成熟的骨组织.阴性对照组(单纯BMSCs组)和低比值成骨细胞组,原细胞支架复合物变小、变形.低比值成骨细胞组在局部形成了少量的骨组织,阴性对照组(单纯BMSCs组)未能发现骨样组织形成.结论:在不使用细胞因子或化学药物的情况下,成骨细胞提供的成骨微环境能够在体外诱导BMSCs向成骨细胞分化并形成成熟的骨组织.混合细胞中成骨细胞与BMSCs的比例为3:7时是有效成骨的最小比值.     

生物力学作用对骨髓间充质干细胞增殖和成骨分化影响研究进展

骨髓间充质干细胞在体内所处的力学环境比较复杂,为了探索生物力学与骨髓间充质干细胞增殖分化之间的关系,对近年来生物力学微环境对骨髓间充质干细胞增殖分化影响的研究现状和最新进展进行了综述。认为牵张力与流体剪切力对骨髓间充质干细胞产生的刺激大部分会使其向成骨方向分化,而较大的压缩力和静水压力对骨髓间充质干细胞产生的刺激大部分会使其偏向软骨方向分化,小部分向成骨方向分化,每种分化方向都有其最适的分化条件。通过综述生物力学对骨髓间充质干细胞增殖及成骨分化的影响,为骨髓间充质干细胞的骨组织工程与再生医学研究及更好地应用于临床治疗提供思路和参考依据。     

大鼠骨髓基质细胞体外定向诱导成骨

将大鼠骨髓单细胞悬液静置培养36h，利用骨髓基质细胞贴壁能力强的特点对其进行纯化和扩增培养。采用爬片培养、HE染色、组化染色以及碱性磷酸酶活性和钙含量测定等手段研究培养骨髓基质细胞的形态、分化和分泌基质情况。结果表明，非诱导培养条件下骨髓基质细胞呈梭形，部分传代细胞中可观察到脂肪细胞和肌细胞。经成骨性诱导培养后，骨髓基质细胞发生明显的形态学变化，碱性磷酸酶活性上升，钙含量增加，最终形成典型的矿化结节。提示培养大鼠骨髓基质细胞具有分化成脂肪细胞和肌细胞的能力，但其分化成骨的潜能最为强大。本实验诱导骨髓基质细胞分化为成骨细胞的模式有可能适用于骨组织工程研究。

碱性成纤维细胞生长因子对骨髓基质细胞的生物学效应

目的探讨碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(bFGF)对骨髓基质细胞(BMSC)粘附、增殖和分化等生物学效应的影响.方法利用体视学计数、MTT法及ALP试剂盒分别测定不同浓度bFGF诱导一定时间后BMSG的粘附特性、增殖和分化情况的变化.结果10n/mLbFGF明显促进BMSG的粘附,但是200ng/mLbFGF反而不利于细胞粘附;在细胞增殖和分化测定中,100ng/mLbFGF明显促进细胞增殖,但细胞碱性磷酸酶含量也最低.结论碱性成纤维细胞生长因子对骨髓基质细胞的生物效应是复杂和多方面的,可以作用于骨髓基质细胞的粘附、增殖和分化等多个环节,这种影响与碱性成纤维细胞生长因子的剂量有关.

Establishment and characterization of murine bone marrow stromal macrophage line

The authors established a murine bone marrow stromal cell line QXMSC1 by discarding the suspensible hematopoietic cells and passaging the adherent stromal cells many times in long-term bone marrow culture. QXMSC1 cells have been passaged 65 times for 15 months and immortalized. The mean number of QXMSC1 chromosomes is 66 ± 4. The appearance of the cells is elliptical. There are many pseudopods and mononuclei under the optical microscope. Many lisosomes and phagosomes in cytoplasm exist under the transmission electron microscope. There are no desmosome junction between the cells, no lipid drops, no intermediate filament. Vimentin is positive and keratin is negative by stain of immunocytochemistry. Nonspecific lipase staining is positive. These results indicate that QXMSC1 cells are murine bone marrow macrophages.     

Notch signaling stimulates osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Notch signaling is one of the most important pathways mediating cell determination and differentiation.In this study, the roles of Notch signal in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were investigated. The expression of Notch1, Jaggedl and DTXI detected by reverse transcrip-tion polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) suggested that Notch signal might exhibit a physiological regulatory role in the differentiation of MSCs. Constitutive expression of the intracellular domain of Notchl (ICN), the active form of Notchl protein, can activate Notch signal in cells without ligands‘ binding, hMSCs were isolated, expanded, and infected with retrovirus carrying green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene or ICN. Overexpression of ICN in hMSCs resulted in enhanced osteogenic differentiation induced by dexamethasone (Dex), which was characterized by an increase of cellular alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium deposition. These results indicate that Notch stimulates differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts.     

Role of Notch expression in premature senescence of murine bone marrow stromal cells

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the Notch signaling pathway in premature senescence of murine bone marrow stromal cells in vitro. The intracellular domain of Notch 1 (ICN) was transfected into cultured murine bone marrow stromal cells by lipofectamine transfection. After three days, the proliferation of transfected cells was measured by MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. Senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-gal) was measured, and the percentage of positive cells was evaluated by assessing 1000 cells in random fields of view. The expressions of p53 and p21Cip1/Waf1 were analyzed by both RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The results showed that activation of Notch signaling inhibited proliferation of murine bone marrow stromal cells with induction of G1 arrest, increased the percentage of SA-beta-gal positive cells, and upregulated p53 and p21Cip1/Waf1 mRNA and protein expression levels. Thus, the activated Notch signaling could induce premature senescence of bone marrow stromal cells through the p53-p21Cip1/Waf1 pathway.

A microenvironment,rather than chemical,initiates the cardiomyogenic differentiation of marrow stromal cells

To investigate the potential of cardiomyogenic differentiation of rat hone marrow stromal cells (MSCs), they were exposed to 5-azacytidine treatments (single/repeat) at varying concentrations (3, 5, 10μmol/L) and the fates of the cells were analyzed by immunocytochemistry, Western blot and the reporter gene of enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP) under the control of ventricular myosin light chain 2 (MLC2v) promoter. MSCs were also cocultured with cardiomyocytes for periods up to 16 days, and the expression of cardiac myosin heavy chain(MHC) and troponin Ⅰ (Tn I) proteins was analyzed. After the induction with 5-azacytidine, neither spontaneously beating ceils nor myotubes were found; MHC and Tn I proteins were also undetectable and no ECFP-positive MSCs were detected. But when cocultured with cardiomyocytes, spontaneously contracting MSCs were observed and cardiac specific proteins could be detected. The results proved that the novel effects of 5-azacytldine on the cardiomyogenic differentiation of MSCs should be questioned and a direct intercellular communication with cardiomyocytes is necessary for MSCs to differentiate into cardiomyocytes.     

Soluble Jagged 1/Fc chimera protein induces the differentiation and maturation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells

A soluble Jagged 1/Fc chimera protein （Jagged 1/Fc） was directly used to induce differentiation and maturation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells （DCs） in mice in vitro. A model of inducing and amplifying DCs in vitrowas established. The effect of Jagged 1/Fc on morphology of DCs induced by both rmGM-CSF and rmlL-4 was observed under a confocal microscope. A fluorescein-labeled monoclonal antibody staining combined with flow cytometry was applied to detect the effect of Jagged 1/Fc on the expression of CD11c, MHC-Ⅱ, CD86, CD80 and CD40 molecules on the surface of DCs. The results showed that Jagged 1/Fc did not affect the morphological properties of DC differentiation induced by both rmGM-CSF and rmlL-4. But it could promote the differentiation and maturation of DCs induced by both. The effect of it was strikingly different in the expression profile of co-stimulating molecules and the morphologic properties of DCs from lipopolysaccharide （LPS）. The levels of MHC-Ⅱ and CD40 molecule expression on the surface of DCs stimulated by Jagged 1/Fc were significantly lower than those stimulated by LPS, and the level of CD80 expression on the surface of DCs induced by Jagged 1/Fc was near to that induced by LPS. Jagged 1/Fc had no influence on the expression of CD86 molecule on the surface of DCs. Jagged 1/Fc when used alone could not maintain the growth, differentiation and maturation of DCs. All the findings indicate that Jagged 1/Fc influences the differentiation and maturation of DCs, which is not markedly similar to LPS, providing important evidence for its development and application as a novel immunosuppressant.     

Effects of lanthanum and gadolinium on proliferation and differentiation of primary osteoblasts

The effects of La3 and Gd3 on the proliferation, differentiation and adipogenic transdifferentiation of rat calvarial osteoblast-like cells (ROB cells) were evaluated by MTT method, measuring the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Oil red O measurement. Both of La3 and Gd3 inhibited the proliferation of ROB cells at all concentrations (1×10-5, 1×10-6, 1×10-7, 1×10-8, 1×10-9 mol·L-1). La3 at concentration of 1×10-5mol·L-1 significantly increased the alkaline phosphatase activity of ROB cells up to 3 folds (P<0.01). However, the effects reversed to inhibit at other concentrations. Gd played a negative role in the alkaline phosphatase activity. La3 inhibited the adipogenic transdifferentiation of ROB cells at all concentrations in a dose-dependent way. However, Gd promoted the adipogenic transdifferentiation of ROB cells at 1×10 and 1×10 mol·L . These findings suggested that the effects of rare earth elements on the proliferation, differentiation and adipogenic transdifferentiation of ROB cells were dependent on their concentrations and species.
