Bone Cell Cultures

Bone adapts to mechanical stress, and bone cell cultures from animal origin have been shown to be highly sensitive to mechanical stress in vitro. In this study, we tested whether bone cell cultures from human bone biopsies respond to stress in a similar manner as animal bone cells and whether bone cells from osteoporotic patients respond similarly to nonosteoporotic donors. Bone cell cultures were obtained as outgrowth from collagenase-stripped trabecular bone fragments from 17 nonosteoporotic donors between 7 and 77 yr of age and from 6 osteoporotic donors between 42 and 72 yr of age. After passage, the cells were mechanically stressed by treatment with pulsating fluid flow (PFF; 0.7 ± 0.03 Pa at 5 Hz for 1 h) to mimic the stress-driven flow of interstitial fluid through the bone canaliculi, which is likely the stimulus for mechanosensation in bone in vivo. Similar to earlier studies in rodent and chicken bone cells, the bone cells from nonosteoporotic donors responded to PFF with enhanced release of prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and nitric oxide as well as a reduced release of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). The upregulation of PGE2 but not the other responses continued for 24 h after 1 h of PFF treatment. The bone cells from osteoporotic donors responded in a similar manner as the nonosteoporotic donors except for the long-term PGE2 release. The PFF-mediated upregulation of PGE2 release during 24 h of postincubation after 1 h of PFF was significantly reduced in osteoporotic patients compared with six age-matched controls as well as with the whole nonosteoporotic group. These results indicate that enhanced release of PGE2 and nitric oxide, as well as reduced release of TGF-β, is a characteristic response of human bone cells to fluid shear stress, similar to animal bone cells. The results also suggest that bone cells from osteoporotic patients may be impaired in their long-term response to mechanical stress.

To directly compare the patterns of collagen promoter expression in cells and tissues, the activity of COL1A1 fusion genes in calvariae of neonatal transgenic mice and in primary bone cell cultures derived by sequential digestion of transgenic calvariae was measured. ColCAT3.6 contains 3.6 kb (positions -3521 to +115) of the rat COL1A1 gene ligated to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene. ColCAT2.3 and ColCAT1.7 are 5' deletion mutants which contain 2,296 and 1,672 bp, respectively, of COL1A1 DNA upstream from the transcription start site. ColCAT3.6 activity was 4- to 6-fold lower in primary bone cell cultures than in intact calvariae, while ColCAT2.3 activity was at least 100-fold lower in primary bone cells than in calvariae. These changes were accompanied by a threefold decrease in collagen synthesis and COL1A1 mRNA levels in primary bone cells compared with collagen synthesis and COL1A1 mRNA levels in freshly isolated calvariae. ColCAT3.6 and ColCAT2.3 activity was maintained in calvariae cultured in the presence or absence of serum for 4 to 7 days. Thus, when bone cells are removed from their normal microenvironment, there is parallel downregulation of collagen synthesis, collagen mRNA levels, and ColCAT3.6 activity, with a much greater decrease in ColCAT2.3. These data suggest that a 624-bp region of the COL1A1 promoter between positions -2296 and -1672 is active in intact and cultured bone but inactive in cultured cells derived from the bone. We suggest that the downregulation of COL1A1 activity in primary bone cells may be due to the loss of cell shape or to alterations in cell-cell and/or cell-matrix interactions that normally occur in intact bone.

Both Low Intensity Pulsed UltraSound (LIPUS) and low level heat have separately been shown to improve mineralization in bone cell cultures (Unsworth et al 2007, Leon et al 1993). This study examines the effect of concurrent LIPUS and low level heat on MC3T3-E1 bone cell cultures. The treatment groups were: LIPUS, heat, LIPUS + heat, and control. The LIPUS intensity was ISATA=10 mW/cm2 at f=1.5 MHz, and heat was applied at 40ºC for 40 minutes each day over 15 days. The LIPUS + heat group received the treatments concurrently. The groups were compared using Alizarin Red staining to measure the degree of cell mineralization. All treatment groups showed statistically significantly improved mineralization over the control; however, there was no statistical difference between the LIPUS and the LIPUS + heat groups. Early results suggest that concurrent heat and LIPUS on MC3T3-E1 bone cells has no additive effect on mineralization.

Bone Microenvironment

New biomaterials and scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (BTE) applications require to be tested in a bone microenvironment reliable model. On this assumption, the in vitro laboratory protocols with bone cells represent worthy experimental systems improving our knowledge about bone homeostasis, reducing the costs of experimentation. To this day, several models of the bone microenvironment are reported in the literature, but few delineate a protocol for testing new biomaterials using bone cells. Herein we propose a clear protocol to set up an indirect co-culture system of human-derived osteoblasts and osteoclast precursors, providing well-defined criteria such as the cell seeding density, cell:cell ratio, the culture medium, and the proofs of differentiation. The material to be tested may be easily introduced in the system and the cell response analyzed. The physical separation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts allows distinguishing the effects of the material onto the two cell types and to evaluate the correlation between material and cell behavior, cell morphology, and adhesion. The whole protocol requires about 4 to 6 weeks with an intermediate level of expertise. The system is an in vitro model of the bone remodeling system useful in testing innovative materials for bone regeneration, and potentially exploitable in different application fields. The use of human primary cells represents a close replica of the bone cell cooperation in vivo and may be employed as a feasible system to test materials and scaffolds for bone substitution and regeneration.
