: Osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by the degeneration and destruction of articular cartilage, is one of the most significant public health issues around the world. In the course of OA, inflammatory response is an important factor leading to cartilage destruction and exacerbation of symptoms. The low immunogenicity, multi-directional differentiation and high portability properties make bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) ideal seed cells for OA. Here, we review recent literature relating to the application of BMSCs for OA cell therapy and consider the following aspects: migration and homing of BMSCs, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of BMSCs, anti-fibrotic effects of BMSCs, the application of biological scaffolds in cartilage regeneration by BMSCs and chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Injecting BMSCs into joints with an inflammatory environment may increase the risk of osteoproliferation and ectopic calcification in patients. Further evidence and studies are needed to ensure the improvement and maintenance of the intraarticular environment for cartilage repair and regeneration.

The present study was performed to examine the effect of intra- articular injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and chondrogenic differentiated mesenchymal stem cells (CD- MSCs) on the repair of articular cartilage defects in rabbits. Twenty-five adult female baladi rabbits were used in this work. 5 rabbits were used for preparation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and their left knees were not subjected for the surgical procedure and used as normal control group. The remaining twenty rabbits were subjected for surgically induced cartilage defects in their left knees through a small medial parapatellar incision using bone curette. In the next day, the rabbits were divided into four groups: group I was not injected intraarticularly, group II injected intra-articularly by a single dose of saline, group III injected intra-articularly by a single dose of BM-MSCs and group IV injected intra-articularly by a single dose of CD-MSCs. After 8 weeks from the time of intra-articular injection. On time the rabbits were sacrificed and the entire knee joints were excised and examined. Groups I and II showed marked degenerative changes in their articular cartilage. The articular surface healed by fibrocartilage in group III, while in group IV the articular surface healed by hyaline cartilage. Treatment by CD-MSCs promotes a better healing effect on the articular cartilage defects of injured knee joints in rabbit’s model and has a remarkable superiority of repair than BM-MSCs. This can prevent the progress of cartilage defect into osteoarthritis which was a harmful disease.

Tracheal stenosis is one of major challenging issues in clinical medicine because of the poor intrinsic ability of tracheal cartilage for repair. Tissue engineering provides an alternative method for the treatment of tracheal defects by generating replacement tracheal structures. In this study, we fabricated coaxial electrospun fibers using poly(L-lactic acid-co-caprolactone) and collagen solution as shell fluid and kartogenin solution as core fluid. Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope images demonstrated that nanofibers had uniform and smooth structure. The kartogenin released from the scaffolds in a sustained and stable manner for about 2 months. The bioactivity of released kartogenin was evaluated by its effect on maintain the synthesis of type II collagen and glycosaminoglycans by chondrocytes. The proliferation and morphology analyses of mesenchymal stems cells derived from bone marrow of rabbits indicated the good biocompatibility of the fabricated nanofibrous scaffold. Meanwhile, the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured on core-shell nanofibrous scaffold was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results suggested that the core-shell nanofibrous scaffold with kartogenin could promote the chondrogenic differentiation ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Overall, the core-shell nanofibrous scaffold could be an effective delivery system for kartogenin and served as a promising tissue engineered scaffold for tracheal cartilage regeneration.
