To develop a clinically effective bone regeneration strategy, we compared bone regeneration using allogeneic cancellous bone granule scaffolds loaded with autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) with or without autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Critical-sized segmental bone defects were made at the mid-shaft of both radiuses in 41 New Zealand White rabbits. Small-sized allogeneic cancellous bone granules (300-700 μm in diameter) loaded with BM-MSC were implanted on one side, and PRP was added. On the other side, autologous BM-MSC loaded onto allogeneic cancellous granules were grafted as a control. Bone regeneration was assessed by radiographic evaluation at 4, 8, and 16 weeks postimplantation and by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological evaluation of the retrieved specimens at 8 and 16 weeks. The experimental group did not show significantly higher bone quantity indices than the control group at any time point. Micro-CT analysis revealed that both groups had similar mean total volumes, surface areas, and other parameters at 8 and 16 weeks. Histological evaluation of 8- and 16-week specimens also showed a similar progression of new bone formation and maturation. In this experiment using a contralateral control group in the same individual, an initial single addition of PRP in allogeneic cancellous bone granules loaded with BM-MSC for critical-sized bone defects in the weight-bearing area did not induce a consequent difference in bone healing. Further research into the optimal preparation and application of PRP is necessary. Furthermore, studies involving a greater number of subjects and larger experimental animals could determine the clinical relevance of PRP treatment.

<span style="color: #1f497d;">Introduction: Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is known as standard chondrogenic differentiation agent, even though it comes with undesirable side effects such as early hypertrophic maturation, mineralization, and secretion of inflammatory/angiogenic factors. On the other hand, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is found to have a chondrogenic impact on mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and differentiation, with no considerable side effects. Therefore, we compared chondrogenic impact of TGF-β and PRP on adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), to see if PRP could be introduced as an alternative to TGF-β. <br /> <span style="color: #1f497d;">Methods: Differentiation of ADSCs was monitored using a couple of methods including glycosaminoglycan production, miRNAs expression, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) secretion, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and calcium content assays.<br /> <span style="color: #1f497d;">Results: Accordingly, the treatment of differentiating cells with 5% (v/v) PRP resulted in higher glycosaminoglycan production, enhanced SOX9 transcription, and lowered TNFα and VEGF secretion compared to the control and TGF-β groups. Besides, the application of PRP to the media up-regulated miR-146a and miR-199a in early and late stages of chondrogenesis, respectively. <span style="color: #1f497d;">Conclusion: PRP induces in vitro chondrogenesis, as well as TGF-β with lesser inflammatory and hypertrophic side effects.

The primary aim of this study was to assess the therapeutic effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma and fibrin scaffolds combined with autologous adipose stem cells (ASCs) for critical-size defects in the pig mandible. Fibrin scaffolds supplemented with calcium hydrogen phosphate and platelet-derived growth factors were hypothesized to accelerate healing in porcine mandible bone compared to ASC-only injections and untreated controls. Three treatments included the use of autologous ASCs from liposuction with the addition of platelet-rich plasma, fibrin scaffolds, or as cell-only controls. All three treatments using ASCs were determined to increase bone mineral density and bone volume fraction compared to untreated controls. In general, the addition of both platelet-rich plasma and fibrin scaffolds to autologous ASCs from liposuction improved bone healing of critical-size defects.
