Reconstruction of segmental bone defects poses a tremendous challenge for both orthopedic clinicians and scientists, since bone rehabilitation is requisite substantially and may be beyond the capacity of self-healing. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been identified as an optimal progenitor cell source to facilitate bone repair since they have a higher ability for proliferation and are more easily accessible than mature osteoblastic cells. In spite of the potential of BMSCs in regeneration medicine, particularly for bone reconstruction, noteworthy limitations still remain in previous application of BMSCs, including the amount of cells that could be recruited, the compromised bone migration of grafted cells, reduced proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation ability, and likely tumorigenesis. Our current work demonstrates that BMSCs transplanted through the caudal vein can be mobilized by erythropoietin (EPO) to the bone defect area and participate in regeneration of new bone. Based on the histological analysis and micro-CT findings of this study, EPO can dramatically promote the effects on the osteogenesis and angiogenesis efficiency of BMSCs in vivo. Animals that underwent EPO+BMSC administration demonstrated a remarkable increase in new bone formation, tissue structure organization, new vessel density, callus formation, and bone mineral density (BMD) compared with the BMSCs alone and control groups. At the biomechanical level, we demonstrated that combing transplantation of EPO and BMSCs enhances bone defect reconstruction by increasing the strength of the diaphysis, making it less fragile. Therefore, combination therapy using EPO infusion and BMSC transplantation may be a new therapeutic strategy for the reconstruction of segmental bone defect.

Abstract Background: Dentigerous cyst (DC) is a bone destructive disease and remains a challenge for clinicians. Marsupialization enables bone to regenerate with capsules maintaining, making it a preferred therapeutic means for DC adjacent to vital anatomical structures. Given that capsules of DC derive from odontogenic epithelium remnants at embryonic stage, we investigated whether there were mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) located in DC capsules and the role that they played in the bone regeneration after marsupialization.Methods: Samples obtained before and after marsupialization were used for histological detection and cell culture. The stemness of cells isolated from fresh tissues were analyzed by morphology, surface marker and multi-differentiation assays. Comparison of proliferation ability between Am-DCSCs and Bm-DCSCs were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), fibroblast colony-forming units (CFU-F) and 5’‐ethynyl‐2’‐deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Their osteogenic capacity in vitro was detected by Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red staining (ARS), combined with Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis as well as cranial bone defect model in nude mice were performed to detect their bone regeneration and bone defect repair ability.Results: Bone tissue and strong ALP activity were detected in the capsule of DC after marsupialization. Two types of MSCs were isolated from fibrous capsules of DC both before (Bm-DCSCs) and after (Am-DCSCs) marsupialization. These fibroblast-like, colony forming cells expressed MSC markers (CD44+, CD90+, CD31-, CD34-, CD45-), and they could differentiate into osteoblast-, adipocyte- and chondrocyte-like cells under induction. Notably, Am-DCSCs performed better in cell proliferation and self-renewal. Moreover, Am-DCSCs showed greater osteogenic capacity both in vitro and in vivo compared with Bm-DCSCs. Conclusions: There are MSCs residing in capsules of DC, and the cell viability as well as osteogenic capacity of them are largely enhanced after marsupialization. Our findings suggested that MSCs might play a crucial role in the healing process of DC after marsupialization, thus providing new insight into the treatment for DC by promoting the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs inside capsules.
