Calvarial Defects

Marrow stromal cells (MSCs) include stem cells capable of forming all mesenchymal tissues, including bone. However, before MSCs can be successfully used in regeneration procedures, methods must be developed to stimulate their differentiation selectively to osteoblasts. Runx2, a bone-specific transcription factor, is known to stimulate osteoblast differentiation. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that Runx2 gene therapy can be used to heal a critical-sized defect in mouse calvaria. Runx2-engineered MSCs displayed enhanced osteogenic potential and osteoblast-specific gene expression in vitro and in vivo. Runx2-expressing cells also dramatically enhanced the healing of critical-sized calvarial defects and increased both bone volume fraction and bone mineral density. These studies provide a novel route for enhancing osteogenesis that may have future therapeutic applications for craniofacial bone regeneration.

AbstractIn vertebrates, the type 1 parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R) is a critical regulator of skeletal development and homeostasis; however, how it is modulated is incompletely understood. Here we report that deleting Kindlin-2 in osteoblastic cells using the mouse 10-kb Dmp1-Cre largely neutralizes the intermittent PTH-stimulated increasing of bone volume fraction and bone mineral density by impairing both osteoblast and osteoclast formation in murine adult bone. Single-cell profiling reveals that Kindlin-2 loss increases the proportion of osteoblasts, but not mesenchymal stem cells, chondrocytes and fibroblasts, in non-hematopoietic bone marrow cells, with concomitant depletion of osteoblasts on the bone surfaces, especially those stimulated by PTH. Furthermore, haploinsufficiency of Kindlin-2 and Pth1r genes, but not that of either gene, in mice significantly decreases basal and, to a larger extent, PTH-stimulated bone mass, supporting the notion that both factors function in the same genetic pathway. Mechanistically, Kindlin-2 interacts with the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of PTH1R via aa 474–475 and Gsα. Kindlin-2 loss suppresses PTH induction of cAMP production and CREB phosphorylation in cultured osteoblasts and in bone. Interestingly, PTH promotes Kindlin-2 expression in vitro and in vivo, thus creating a positive feedback regulatory loop. Finally, estrogen deficiency induced by ovariectomy drastically decreases expression of Kindlin-2 protein in osteocytes embedded in the bone matrix and Kindlin-2 loss essentially abolishes the PTH anabolic activity in bone in ovariectomized mice. Thus, we demonstrate that Kindlin-2 functions as an intrinsic component of the PTH1R signaling pathway in osteoblastic cells to regulate bone mass accrual and homeostasis.

Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are a valuable resource for skeletal regenerative medicine because of their osteogenic potential. In spite of the very general term “stem cell,” this population of cells is far from homogeneous, and different BMSCs clones have greatly different phenotypic properties and, therefore, potentially different therapeutic potential. Adherence to a culture flask surface is a primary defining characteristic of BMSCs. We hypothesized that based on the adherence time we could obtain an enriched population of cells with a greater therapeutic potential. We characterized two populations of bone marrow-derived cells, those that adhered by three days (R-cells) and those that did not adhere by three days but did by six days (L-cells). Clones derived from L-cells could be induced into adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic differentiationin vitro. L-cells appeared to have greater proliferative capacity, as manifested by larger colony diameter and clones with higher CD146 expression. Only clones from L-cells developed bone marrow stromain vivo. We conclude that the use of late adherence of BMSCs is one parameter that can be used to enrich for cells that will constitute a superior final product for cell therapy in orthopedics.

Background: In the field of bone tissue engineering, there has been an increasing interest in biomedical materials with both high angiogenic ability and osteogenic ability. Among various osteogenesis materials, bioactive borosilicate and borate glass scaffolds possess suitable degradation rate and mechanical strength, thus drawing many scholars’ interests and attention. Objective: In this study, we fabricated bioactive glass scaffolds composed of borosilicate 2B6Sr using the Template-Method and incorporated Dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG), a small-molecule angiogenic drug possessing good angiogenic ability, to improve bone regeneration. Methods: The in-vitro studies showed that porous borosilicate bioactive glass scaffolds released slowly, a steady amount of DMOG and stimulated the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells hBMSCs. Results: In-vivo studies showed that the borosilicate bioactive glass scaffolds could significantly promote new bone formation and neovascularization in rats’ calvarial bone defects. Conclusion: These results indicated that DMOG-incorporated bioactive glass scaffold is a successful compound with excellent angiogenesis-osteogenesis ability, which has favorable clinical prospects.

Adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are considered as the promising seed cells for bone regeneration. However, the lower osteogenic differentiation capacity limits its therapeutic efficacy. Identification of the key molecules governing the differences between ASCs and BMSCs would shed light on manipulation of ASCs towards osteogenic phenotype. In this study, we screened semaphorin family members in ASCs and BMSCs and identified Sema3A as an osteogenic semaphorin that was significantly and predominantly expressed in BMSCs. The analyses in vitro showed that the overexpression of Sema3A in ASCs significantly enhanced the expression of bone-related genes and extracellular matrix calcium deposition, while decreasing the expression of adipose-related genes and thus lipid droplet formation, resembling a BMSCs phenotype. Furthermore, Sema3A modified ASCs were then engrafted into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds to repair the critical-sized calvarial defects in rat model. As expected, Sema3A modified ASCs encapsulation significantly promoted new bone formation with higher bone volume fraction and bone mineral density. Additionally, Sema3A was found to simultaneously increase multiple Wnt related genes and thus activating Wnt pathway. Taken together, our study here identifies Sema3A as a critical gene for osteogenic phenotype and reveals that Sema3A-modified ASCs would serve as a promising candidate for bettering bone defect repair.

Abstract Background Bone reconstruction in congenital craniofacial differences, which affect about 2–3% of newborns, has long been the focus of intensive research in the field of bone tissue engineering. The possibility of using mesenchymal stromal cells in regenerative medicine protocols has opened a new field of investigation aimed at finding optimal sources of multipotent cells that can be isolated via non-invasive procedures. In this study, we analyzed whether levator veli palatini muscle fragments, which can be readily obtained in non-invasive manner during palatoplasty in cleft palate patients, represent a novel source of MSCs with osteogenic potential. Methods We obtained levator veli palatini muscle fragments (3–5 mm3), during surgical repair of cleft palate in 5 unrelated patients. Mesenchymal stromal cells were isolated from the muscle using a pre-plating technique and other standard practices. The multipotent nature of the isolated stromal cells was demonstrated via flow cytometry analysis and by induction along osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation pathways. To demonstrate the osteogenic potential of these cells in vivo, they were used to reconstruct a critical-sized full-thickness calvarial defect model in immunocompetent rats. Results Flow cytometry analysis showed that the isolated stromal cells were positive for mesenchymal stem cell antigens (CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD105) and negative for hematopoietic (CD34 and CD45) or endothelial cell markers (CD31). The cells successfully underwent osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic cell differentiation under appropriate cell culture conditions. Calvarial defects treated with CellCeram™ scaffolds seeded with the isolated levator veli palatini muscle cells showed greater bone healing compared to defects treated with acellular scaffolds. Conclusion Cells derived from levator veli palatini muscle have phenotypic characteristics similar to other mesenchymal stromal cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings suggest that these cells may have clinical relevance in the surgical rehabilitation of patients with cleft palate and other craniofacial anomalies characterized by significant bone deficit.

The present study aimed to enhance the anti-osteoporotic performance of bioactive glass (46S6) through its association with bisphosphonate such as risedronate with amounts of 8, 12, and 20%. Obtained composites have been called 46S6-8RIS, 46S6-12RIS, and 46S6-20RIS, respectively. In vitro and in vivo explorations have been carried out. Bioactive glass and risedronate association has been performed by adsorption process. Structure analyses have been carried out to evaluate and to understand their chemical interactions. Solid Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been employed to study the structural properties of obtained biocomposite. The spectra deconvolution showed the appearance of a species (Q4) in the biocomposites 46S6-8RIS, 46S6-12RIS, and 46S6-20RIS indicating their successful chemical association. In vitro experiments showed the enhancement of the chemical reactivity of the composites 46S6-xRIS compared to the pure bioactive glass. In fact, the silicon liberation after 30 days of immersion was 50 ppm for pure bioactive glass 46S6, and 41, 64, and 62 from 46S6-8RIS, 46S6-12RIS, and 46S6-20RIS, respectively. Based on the in vitro results, 46S6-8RIS was implanted in the femoral condyle of an ovariectomized rat and compared with implanted pure glass in the goal to highlight its anti-osteoporotic performance. After 60 days, implanted group with 46S6-8RIS showed the increase in bone mineral density (BMD with 10%) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV with 80%) and the decrease in trabecular separation (Tb/Sp with 74%) when compared to that of 46S6 group. These results are confirmed by the histopathological analyses, which showed the bone trabeculae reconnection after the 46S6-8RIS implantation. Chemical analyses showed the reduction in silicon (Si) and sodium (Na) ion concentrations, and the rise in calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) ion levels, which was explained by the dissolution of biocomposite matrix and the deposition of hydroxyapatite layer. Histomorphometric results highlighted the risedronate effect on the antiosteoporotic phenomenon. Obtained results showed good behavior with only 8% of introduced risedronate in the glass matrix.

Abstract The interaction between multiple myeloma (MM) cells and the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment plays a crucial role not only in proliferation and survival of MM cells, but also in osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we examined diverse potential of novel p38MAPK inhibitor LSN2322600 (LSN) for MM therapy in vitro and in vivo. The cytotoxic activity of LSN against MM cell lines was modest; however, LSN significantly enhances the cytotoxicity of Bortezomib by down-regulating Bortezomib-induced heat shock protein (HSP) 27 phosphorylation. We next examined the effects of LSN on cytokine secretion in MM cells, bone marrow stromal cells and osteoclast precursor cells. LSN inhibited IL-6 secretion from long-term cultured-bone marrow stromal cells (LT-BMSCs) and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) from MM patients in remission. LSN also inhibited MIP-1 α secretion by fresh tumor cells, BMMNCs and CD14 positive cells. Since these cytokines mediate osteoclastogenesis, we further examined whether LSN could inhibit osteoclastogenesis. Importantly, LSN inhibited in vitro osteoclastogenesis induced by macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor- κ B ligand (sRANKL), as well as osteoclastogenesis in the severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-Hu mouse model of human MM. These results suggest that LSN represents a promising novel targeted strategy to reduce skeletal complications as well as to sensitize or overcome resistance to Bortezomib.
