Cultured endothelial cells isolated from fenestrated capillaries express many properties characteristic of their in vivo differentiated phenotype, including the formation of a limited number of fenestrae. In this study, we have investigated whether physiological factors that control cell differentiation might regulate the surface density of fenestrae in capillary endothelial cells. We have found that treatment of the cultures with retinoic acid (10 microM) induces a more than threefold increase in the surface density of endothelial fenestrae, whereas transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) (2 ng ml-1) causes a sevenfold decrease in the surface density of these structures. These results show that the expression of endothelial fenestrae is susceptible to bidirectional modulation by physiological signals, and suggest that retinoids and TGF beta may participate in the regulation of fenestral density of capillary endothelium in vivo.

Abstract: Recently, platelet rich plasma has been popular and its use has begin on human in developed countries. Platelet rich plasma is defined as autologus blood with concentration of platelets three to five times above baseline level, which contains at least seven growth factors like Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Platelet Derived Angiogenesis Factor (PDAF), Platelet Derived Endothelial Growth Factor (PDEGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF- β), Insulin like Growth Factor (IGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). The golden standard for reconstruction of cranial bone defects demonstrates osteoconduction scaffold, osteoinduction like growth factors, and osteogenesis. Alloplastic biomaterials have revolutionalized craniofacial reconstruction. Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) has been studied for years as implant material due to its similarity with the mineral component of bone. In this study we investigated and compare the effects of PRP and CHA on bone regeneration in rat cranial defects. This was an experimental study with a true experimental design on white male rats (Rattus norvegicus). Cranial deffects of 3 mm diameter were created in rat cranium and grafted with CHA and PRP combination, CHA alone, and control. The relationships among them were analyzed by using Mann Whitney and SPSS Statistics Program Package Version 22.0. The results showed that the experimental group of 2 weeks had no different between inflammatory reaction (P = 0.119), woven bone (P = 0.094) and lamellar bone (P = 0.130). At 4 weeks,a combination of PRP and CHA showed a superior growth of lamellar bone compared to CHA (P = 0.009). Conclusion: A combination of PRP and CHA in bone regeneration showed a histological tendency toward increased bone formation. However, future investigations should be conducted in different period times.Keywords: platelet rich plasma, carbonated hydroxyapatite, cranial defectAbstrak: Plasma kaya trombosit makin banyak digunakan dalam dunia kedokteran. Di negara maju pengunaannya sudah mulai diteliti pada manusia. Plasma kaya trombosit adalah fraksi plasma darah dengan konsentrasi platelet 3-5 kali diatas nilai normal yang mengandung sekurang-kurangnya 7 faktor pertumbuhan, diantaranya Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Platelet Derived Angiogenesis Factor (PDAF), Platelet Derived Endothelial Growth Factor (PDEGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF- β), Insulin like Growth Factor (IGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), dan Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) yang dapat meningkatkan proses osteogenesis. Karbonat hidroksiapatit adalah material pengganti tulang yang dapat mempercepat regenerasi jaringan tulang serta memiliki kandungan kalsium,fosfat dan karbonat yang mirip dengan tulang manusia. Tulang yang tumbuh pada awal berupa tulang muda yang memiliki serat kolagen yang tidak teratur dan banyak osteosit disebut tulang imatur. Tulang imatur kemudian akan diganti oleh tulang matur yang memiliki serabut kolagen yang teratur. Jenis penelitian ini ialah eksperimental pada 36 hewan coba tikus putih wistar (Rattus norvegicus). Defek kalvaria pada tikus dengan diameter 3 mm diisi sesuai perlakuan: plasma kaya trombosit dengan karbonat hidroksiapatit, karbonat apatit tunggal, dan kontrol. Plasma kaya trombosit dibuat dari autologus darah tikus yang diberi perlakuan plasma kaya trombosit serta karbonat hidroksiapatit dan karbonat apatit tunggal. Data dianalisis dengan uji Mann Whitney dan diolah dengan SPSS. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan pada minggu ke-2, tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna reaksi inflamasi (P = 0,119), tulang imatur (P = 0,094), dan tulang matur (P = 0,130) diantara ketiga perlakuan. Pada minggu ke-4, tulang matur yang terbentuk lebih banyak pada perlakuan plasma kaya trombosit dan karbonat hidroksiapatit (P = 0,009). Simpulan: Pemberian plasma kaya trombosit dan karbonat hidroksiapatit dapat meningkatkan proses penutupan defek tulang kepala hewan percobaan tikus.Kata kunci : plasma kaya trombosit, karbonat hidroksiapatit, defek tulang kepala.

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a potent inducer of angiogenesis in vivo, stimulates the production of both urokinase- and tissue-type plasminogen activators (PAs) in cultured bovine capillary endothelial cells. The observed increase in proteolytic activity induced by bFGF was effectively diminished by picogram amounts of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta), but could not be abolished by increasing the amount of TGF beta. However, the inhibition by TGF beta was greatly enhanced if the cells were pretreated with TGF beta before addition of bFGF. After prolonged incubation of cultures treated simultaneously with bFGF and TGF beta, the inhibitory effect of TGF beta diminished and the stimulatory effect of the added bFGF dominated as assayed by PA levels. TGF beta did not alter the receptor binding of labeled bFGF, nor did a 6-h pretreatment with TGF beta reduce the amount of bFGF bound. The major difference between the effects of bFGF and TGF beta was that while bFGF effectively enhanced PA activity expressed by the cells, TGF beta decreased the amounts of both cell-associated and secreted PA activity by decreasing enzyme production. Both bFGF and TGF beta increased the secretion of the endothelial-type plasminogen activator inhibitor.

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a potent inducer of angio-genesis in vivo, stimulates the production of both the cell-associated and the secreted forms of urokinase-and tissue-type plasminogen activators (PA) in cultured bovine capillary endothelial cells. This stimulation was counteracted by picogram amounts of transforming growth factor beta The stimulatory effect of bFGF was not completely abolished by increasing the amount of TGFb However, the inhibition by TGFb was greatly enhanced if the cells were pretreated for 1-3 hours with TGFb before addition of bFGF, and the inhibition was almost total, if the' preincubationtime with TGFb was 6 hours.Sequential chanqes of serum-containing medium prior to addition ofbFGF also blocked the PA stimulatory effect of bFGF. This inhibitory activity of serum was reduced by incubation of the serum with anti-TGFb-IgG. After pro-longed incubation of cultures treated simultaneously with bFGF' and TGFb, the inhibitory effect of the added bFGF dominated as assayed by PAlevels. TGFbdid not alter the receptor binding of labeled bFGF, nor did a 6 hour pretreatment with TGFb reducethe amount of bound bFGF. The major difference between effects by bFGF and TGFb was thatwhile bFGF effectively enhanced PA-activi-ty expressed by the cells, TGF decreased the amounts of both cell-associated and secreted PA activity by decreasing enzyme production and proenzyme activation. Both bFGF and TGFb increased the secretion of the endothelial type 1 plasminogen activatorinhibitor (PAI 1). The highest concentration of TGFb is found in platelets, and it is known to be released during clot formation. The suppression of PA production by theendothelium by the release of TGFb shouldresult in a decrease in the fibrinolytic activity and promote clot maintenance. In addition, the rapid stimulation of high levels of PAI 1 secretion from the surrounding capillarycells by platelet released TGFb may further suppress fibrinolysis'. The reversabil it.y of theTGFb effect and domination of bFGF stimulation may be important in relation to the subsequentonset of clot lysis or angiogenesis leadino to thrombus reorganization and wound healing.
