The use of genetically modified (GM) mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and preconditioned MSCs (pMSCs) may provide further opportunities to improve the outcome of core decompression (CD) for the treatment of early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). GM interleukin-4 (IL4) over-expressing MSCs (IL4-MSCs), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB over-expressing MSCs (PDGF-BB-MSCs), and IL4-PDGF-BB co-over-expressing MSCs (IL4-PDGF-BB-MSCs) and their respective pMSCs were used in this in vitro study and compared with respect to cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. IL4-MSCs, PDGF-BB-MSCs, IL4-PDGF-BB-MSCs, and each pMSC treatment significantly increased cell proliferation compared to the MSC group alone. The percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the IL4-MSC and IL4-pMSC groups was significantly lower than in the MSC group. However, the percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the PDGF-BB-MSC group was significantly higher than in the MSC and PDGF-BB-pMSC groups. The percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSC was significantly higher than in the IL4-PDGF-BB-MSC group. There were no significant differences in the percentage of Alizarin red-stained area between the MSC and IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSC groups. The use of PDGF-BB-MSCs or IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSCs increased cell proliferation. Furthermore, PDGF-BB-MSCs promoted osteogenic differentiation. The addition of GM MSCs may provide a useful supplementary cell-based therapy to CD for treatment of ONFH.

The topical application of tranexamic acid (TXA) helps to prevent post-operative blood loss in total joint replacements. Despite these findings, the effects on articular and periarticular tissues remain unclear. Therefore, this in vitro study examined the effects of varying exposure times and concentrations of TXA on proliferation rates, gene expression and differentiation capacity of chondrocytes and human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs), which underwent osteogenic differentiation. Chondrocytes and hMSCs were isolated and multiplied in monolayer cell cultures. Osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs was induced for 21 days using a differentiation medium containing specific growth factors. Cell proliferation was analyzed using ATP assays. Effects of TXA on cell morphology were examined via light microscopy and histological staining, while expression levels of tissue-specific genes were measured using semiquantitative RT-PCR. After treatment with 50 mg/mL of TXA, a decrease in cell proliferation rates was observed. Furthermore, treatment with concentrations of 20 mg/mL of TXA for at least 48 h led to a visible detachment of chondrocytes. TXA treatment with 50 mg/mL for at least 24 h led to a decrease in the expression of specific marker genes in chondrocytes and osteogenically differentiated hMSCs. No significant effects were observed for concentrations beyond 20 mg/mL of TXA combined with exposure times of less than 24 h. This might therefore represent a safe limit for topical application in vivo. Further research regarding in vivo conditions and effects on hMSC functionality are necessary to fully determine the effects of TXA on articular and periarticular tissues.

Secretion of 21 cytokines, chemokines and growth factors (LIF, SCF, SDF-1a, SCGF-b, M-CSF, MCP-3, MIF, MIG, TRAIL, GRO-a; IL-1a, IL-2ra, IL-3, IL-12(p40), IL-16, IL-18, HGF, TNF-b, b-NGF, IFN-a2, CTACK) has been studied in vitro in the culture of human adipose-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMMSCs) in conditions of its osteogenic differentiation caused by 14-day contact with calcium phosphate (CP) surface with different roughness. Bilateral X-ray amorphous CP coatings were prepared on the samples of commercially pure titanium in the anodal regime using a micro-arc method. An aqueous solution prepared from 20 wt% phosphoric acid, 6 wt% dissolved hydrohyapatite nanopowder (particle diameter 10-30 nm with single agglomerates up to 100 nm), and 9 wt% dissolved calcium carbonate was used to obtain CP coating. hAMMSCs isolated from lipoaspirate were co-cultured after 4 passages with the CP-coated samples at final concentration of 1.5´105 viable karyocytes per 1.5 mL of standard nutrition medium (without osteogenic stimulators) for 14 days (a determination of [CD45,34,14,20], CD73, CD90 и CD105 cell immunophenotype; an analysis of secretory activity) and 21 days (alizarin red S staining of culture) with medium replacement every 3-4 days. Under conditions of in vitro contact with rough CP coating hAMMSCs differentiated into osteoblasts synthesizing the mineralized bone matrix; this was accompanied by 2-3-fold increasing ratio of [CD45,34,14,20]+ hemopoietic cells. The following humoral factors of hemopoietic niches acted as the signal molecules escalating in vitro the hemopoietic base in 14 days of differentiating three-dimensional culture of hAMMSCs: either leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and stem cell factor (SCF) cytokines under mean index of CP roughness Ra=2.4-2.6 mm or stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1a, CXCL12 chemokine) under Ra=3.1-4.4 mm.

Although adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) have been a major focus as an alternative to autologous bone graft in orthopedic surgery, bone formation potential of ADSCs is not well known and cytokines as osteogenic inducers on ADSCs are being investigated. This study aimed at isolating ADSCs from ovine adipose tissue (AT) and optimizing osteogenic differentiation of ovine ADSCs (oADSC) by culture medium and growth factors. Four AT samples were harvested from two female ovine (Texel/Gotland breed), and oADSCs were isolated and analyzed by flow cytometry for surface markers CD29, CD44, CD31, and CD45. Osteogenic differentiation was made in vitro by seeding oADSCs in osteogenic induction medium (OIM) containing fibroblast growth factor basic (FGFb), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), or NEL-like molecule 1 (NELL1) in 4 different dosages (1, 10, 50, and 100 ng/ml, respectively). Basic medium (DMEM) was used as control. Analysis was made after 14 days by Alizarin red staining (ARS) and quantification. This study successfully harvested AT from ovine and verified isolated cells for minimal criteria for adipose stromal cells which suggests a feasible method for isolation of oADSCs. OIM showed significantly higher ARS to basic medium, and FGFb 10 ng/ml revealed significantly higher ARS to OIM alone after 14 days.

Abstract Abstract 3816 Poster Board III-752 Introduction Recent studies in patients with MDS have clearly demonstrated the clinical efficacy of lenalidomide. However, its exact mechanisms of action have not been elucidated yet. Myelosuppression is the most common adverse event and seems to be dependent on dose as well MDS subtype, being rather infrequent in patients other than del5q. The aim of this study was to investigate whether lenalidomide affects the bone marrow microenvironment. Therefore, we analyzed in-vitro characteristics of isolated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from MDS patients and from healthy controls. Methods Bone marrow samples were collected from healthy donors (n=5) and patients with MDS (del5q MDS n=3, RA n=2, RAEB1/2 n=3). MSCs were isolated according to the standard adhesion protocol and cultured in the presence or absence of lenalidomide. Results Lenalidomide treatment of MSCs caused no morphological changes but proliferation was slightly increased. Typical surface molecules as CD73, CD90, CD105 and CD166 were expressed in MSCs from MDS patients at comparable levels to healthy controls. Lenalidomide treatment caused an upregulation of CD29 by 17.8 ± 4.4% and of CD73 by 24 ± 5.7% (mean fluorescence intensity). Investigating the cytokine production, we found lower IL-8 mRNA and protein levels in MSCs from MDS patients (mean in MDS MSC: 138.1 pg/ml vs. mean in healthy MSC: 1177 pg/ml). Interestingly, the IL-8 production can be increased by approximately 40% under lenalidomide treatment. MDS MSCs retained the capacity for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation as well as their supportive function towards hematopoietic cells in long term culture-initiating assays (LTC-IC). However, the LTC-IC frequency was lower on MSC which had been preincubated with lenalidomide compared to controls. Lenalidomide also slightly accelerated osteogenic differentiation because mineralization started as early as on day 5 with lenalidomide whereas in the control cells first calcium deposits were visible after 7 days. Other samples showed augmented lipid vacuoles after adipogenic differentiation under lenalidomide treatment. Conclusion In conclusion, lenalidomide modulates the phenotype of MSC and leads to an increase of their IL-8 secretion by a yet unknown mechanism. Whether these in-vitro effects are associated with the clinical efficacy of this compound in patients with MDS remains to be investigated.

Background/Aims: Human dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hDPSCs) are promising seed cells for tissue engineering due to their easy accessibility and multi-lineage differentiation. Pannexin3 (Panx3) plays crucial roles during bone development and differentiation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Panx3 on osteogenesis of hDPSCs and the underlying mechanism. Methods: Utilizing qRT-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry, we explored the change of Panx3 during osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. Next, hDPSCs with loss (Panx3 knockdown) and gain (Panx3 overexpression) of Panx3 function were developed to investigate the effects of Panx3 on osteogenic differentiation of hDPSC and the underlying mechanism. Finally, a commercial β-TCP scaffold carrying Panx3-modified hDPSCs was utilized to evaluate bone defect repair. Results: Panx3 was upregulated during osteogenic differentiation in a time-dependent manner. Panx3 overexpression promoted osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs, whereas depletion of Panx3 resulted in a decline of differentiation, evidenced by upregulated expression of mineralization-related markers, increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and enhanced ALP and Alizarin red staining. Panx3 was found to interact with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, forming a negative feedback loop. However, Wnt/β-catenin did not contribute to enhancement of osteogenic differentiation as observed in Panx3 overexpression. Moreover, Panx3 promoted osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs via increasing ERK signaling pathway. Micro-CT and histological staining results showed that Panx3-modified hDPSCs significantly improved ossification of critical-sized bone defects. Conclusion: These findings suggest that Panx3 is a crucial modulator of hDPSCs differentiation.
