Background Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) used in stem-cell tissue engineering can help elucidate their biological principles. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of low-intensity EMFs on cell proliferation, differentiation, and cycle in mouse bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and the in vivo effects of EMFs on BMSC. Methods Harvested BMSCs were cultured for 3 generations and divided into 4 groups. The methylthiotetrazole (MTT) assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase activity was measured via a colorimetric assay on the 3rd, 7th, and 10th days. Changes in cell cycle also were analyzed on the 7th day, and bone nodule formation was analyzed on the 12th day. Additionally, the expression of the collagen I gene was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on the 10th day. The BMSCs of the irradiated group and the control group were transplanted into cortical bone of different mice femurs separately, with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) serving as a scaffold. After 4 and 8 weeks, bone the bone specimens of mice were sliced and stained by hematoxylin and eosin separately. Results The results showed that EMFs (0.5 mT, 50 Hz) accelerated cellular proliferation, enhanced cellular differentiation, and increased the percentage of cells in the G2/M+S (postsynthetic gap 2 period/mitotic phase + S phase) of the stimulation. The EMF-exposed groups had significantly higher collagen I messenger RNA levels than the control group. The EMF + osteogenic medium–treated group readily formed bone nodules. Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed a clear flaking of bone tissue in the irradiated group. Conclusion Irradiation of BMSCs with low-intensity EMFs (0.5 mT, 50 Hz) increased cell proliferation and induced cell differentiation. The results of this study did not establish a stricter animal model for studying osteogenesis, and only short-term results were investigated. Further study of the mechanism of EMF is needed.

Studies have been directed towards the production of new titanium alloys, aiming for the replacement of Ti-6 Aluminium-4 Vanadium (TiAlV) alloy in the future. Many mechanisms related to biocompatibility and chemical characteristics have been studied in the field of implantology, but enzymatic defenses against oxidative stress remain underexplored. Bone marrow stromal cells have been explored as source of cells, which have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts and therefore could be used as cells-based therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in porous scaffolds of Ti-6 Aluminium-4 Vanadium (TiAlV), Ti-35 Niobium (TiNb), and Ti-35 Niobium-7 Zirconium-5 Tantalum (TiNbZrTa) on mouse bone marrow stromal cells. Porous titanium alloy scaffolds were prepared by powder metallurgy. After 24 hours, cells plated on the scaffolds were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antioxidant enzyme activity was measured 72 hours after cell plating. Quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed after 3, 7, and 14 days, and Runx2 (Runt-related transcription factor2) expression was evaluated. The SEM images showed the presence of interconnected pores and growth, adhesion, and cell spreading in the 3 scaffolds. Although differences were noted for SOD and CAT activity for all scaffolds analyzed, no statistical differences were observed (p>0.05). The osteogenic gene Runx2 presented high expression levels for TiNbZrTa at day 7, compared to the control group (TiAlV day 3). At day 14, all scaffolds had more than 2-fold induction for Runx2 mRNA levels, with statistically significant differences compared to the control group. Even though we were not able to confirm statistically significant differences to justify the replacement of TiAlV regarding antioxidant enzymes, TiNbZrTa was able to induce faster bone formation at early time points, making it a good choice for biomedical and tissue bioengineering applications.

Growth And Survival

Abstract Abstract 4987 The Bone marrow (BM) microenvironment plays crucial role in pathogenesis of Multiple myeloma(MM). Myeloma cells contacts with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), which secrete factors/cytokines, promoting tumor cell growth and survival. Paracrine secretion of cytokines(i. e., interleukin-6 (IL-6) insulin-like growth factor-1, inflammatory protein-1a) in BM stromal cells promotes multiple myeloma cell proliferation and protects against drug-induced cytotoxicity. These cytokines provide stimulatory signals for multiple myeloma growth and survival. Bone involvement is a common feature in MM patient, solid and hematologic cancers. MM localizes to the bone in nearly all patients ranges between 40% and 75%. Disease-related skeletal complications result in significant morbidity due to pain, pathologic fractures and spinal cord compression. The bone microenvironment creates a supportive niche for tumor growth. Osteoclasts and bone marrow stromal cells, along with extracellular matrix and cytokines stimulate tumor cell proliferation and confer chemoresistance. Therefore, the reciprocal interactions between tumor cells, osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and bone marrow stromal cells present an important. In current study, monocyte can directly promote mesenchymal stem cells osteogenic differentiation through cell contact interactions, thus resulting in the production of osteogenic factors by the monocytes. This mechanism is mediated by the activation of STAT3 signaling pathway in the mesechymal stem cells that leads to the upregulation of Osteoblasts-associated genes such as Runx2 and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and the down-regulation of inhibitors such as DKK1 to drive the differentiation of mesechymal stem cells into osteoblasts. In this study, we examined the role of monocyte, component of BM cells, as a potential niche component that supports myeloma cells. We investigated the proliferation of MM cell lines cultured alone or co-cultured with BM stromal cells, monocytes, or a combination of BM stromal cells and monocytes. Consistently, we observed increased proliferation of MM cell lines in the presence of either BM stromal cells or monocytes compared to cell line-only control. Furthermore, the co-culture of BM stromal cells plus monocytes induced the greatest degree of proliferation of myeloma cells. In addition to increased proliferation, BMSCs and monocytes decreased the rate of apoptosis of myeloma cells. Our results therefore suggest that highlights the role of monocyte as an important component of the BM microenvironment. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract The bone marrow niche is a heterogeneous tissue comprised of multiple cell types that collectively regulate hematopoiesis. It is thought to be a critical stress sensor, integrating information at the level of the organism down to signals at the level of the single cell. In so doing, the niche orchestrates hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) responses to organismal stress. However, most studies of the niche have depended on genetic marker or deletion studies that inherently limit analysis to the selected indicator genes or cells. While this has greatly enhanced our understanding of bone marrow function, it does not permit systems level evaluation of subgroups of cells and their relative response to a particular challenge. We therefore sought a less biased strategy to study bone marrow stromal cells and the cytokines they elaborate under homeostatic and stress conditions. We used Mass-Cytometry (CyTOF) to resolve protein levels at single cell resolution in mouse bone marrow. We established a panel of 36 antibodies: 20 surface and intracellular phenotypic markers, 12 cytokines regulating hematopoiesis, 1 marker of proliferation, 1 marker for DNA damage, 1 viability marker and 1 nucleated cell marker. We intentionally selected antibodies that recognize antigens already defined by others as bone marrow stromal markers. Freshly isolated non-hematopoietic cells from long bones and pelvis were analyzed and clustered into subgroups based on their protein expression signature. We applied k-means clustering using common markers to group bone marrow stromal cells into phenotypical subtypes. At steady state, analysis of over 20.000 mouse bone marrow stromal single-cells negative for the hematopoietic markers CD45 and Ter119 revealed 4 large clusters: an endothelial population expressing CD31, Sca1 and CD105, a mesenchymal stromal cell population expressing Sca1, CD140a, Nestin and LeptinR, a bone marrow stromal progenitor population expressing CD105, CD271 and Runx2 and a mature bone cell population expressing Osteocalcin and CD140a. Within these clusters, sub-populations were evident by adding CD106, CD90, CD73, Embigin, CD29, CD200, c-Kit and CD51. In total, 28 distinct populations of bone marrow stromal cells were identified based on their phenotypic signature. Only one cluster of cells was negative for all the markers we selected. Therefore, the complex heterogeneity of the bone marrow niche cells can be resolved to 28 subpopulations by single-cell protein analysis. Assessing the response of these groups to systemic challenges of medical relevance, we evaluated cells prior to whole body lethal irradiation (9.5Gy), one hour and one day later (the time of transplantation) and 3 days after irradiation (2d post transplantation) with and without transplanted cells. Notably, LeptinR+CD106+Sca1+ cells putatively essential for hematopoiesis and stem cell support were highly sensitive to and largely killed by irradiation. In contrast, endothelial cells and osteoblastic cells were resistant to irradiation. In particular, osteoblastic cells expressing osteocalcin (GFP+), embigin, NGFR and CD73 increased their expression of multiple hematopoietic cytokines including SDF-1, kit ligand, IL-6, G-CSF and TGF-b one day after irradiation. These data indicate that LeptinR+CD106+Sca1 stromal cells are unlikely to participate in HSPC engraftment post-irradiation while a subset of osteoblastic cells are. Unbiased single cell analysis can resolve subsets of bone marrow cells that respond differently to organismal stress. This method enables comprehensively quantifying subpopulation changes with specific challenges to begin defining the systems biology of the bone marrow niche.
