The osteoblast behaviors on the biomaterial substrates are recognized to play a fundamental role in osteoconduction process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro behaviors of osteoblasts cultured on electrically polarized hydroxyapatite (HA), having the enhanced osteobonding abilities. Osteoblasts derived from mouse bone marrow were seeded onto the polarized HA and investigated the proliferation and differentiation. The polarization had effects on the proliferation of osteoblast precursor cells based on the MTT assay. The acceleration was emerged as the early achievement to the confluence on the N-HA and P-HA. The quantitative analysis of the results of ALP and AR-S staining, the charges induced on the HA surface accelerated the differentiation from the osteoblast precursor cells to mature osteoblasts.

Dual Administration

ABSTRACTIn this study, we aimed to establish anin vitrobacterium/bone cell coculture model system and to use this model for dose dependence studies of dual administration of antibiotics and growth factorsin vitro. We examined the effect of single or dual administration of the antibiotic vancomycin (VAN) at 0 to 16 μg/ml and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) at 0 or 100 ng/ml on both methicillin-sensitiveStaphylococcus aureusand mouse bone marrow stromal cells (W-20-17) under both mono- and coculture conditions. Cell metabolic activity, Live/Dead staining, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) amounts, and alkaline phosphatase activity were measured to assess cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation. An interleukin-6 (IL-6) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to test the bone cell inflammation response in the presence of bacteria. Our results suggest that, when delivered together in coculture, VAN and BMP-2 maintain their primary functions as an antibiotic and a growth factor, respectively. Most interestingly, this dual-delivery type of approach has shown itself to be effective at lower concentrations of VAN than those required for an approach relying strictly on the antibiotic. It may be that BMP-2 enhances cell proliferation and differentiation before the cells become infected. In coculture, a dosage of VAN higher than that used for treatment in monoculture may be necessary to effectively inhibit growth ofStaphylococcus aureus. This could mean that the coculture environment may be limiting the efficacy of VAN, possibly by way of bacterial invasion of the bone cells. This report of a coculture study demonstrates a potential beneficial effect of the coadministration of antibiotics and growth factors compared to treatment with antibiotic alone.

Abstract Megakaryocytes and their precursor cells were sustained in mouse bone marrow suspension cultures for over 4–6 wk. Megakaryocyte precursor cells were detected by their capacity to form colonies of megakaryocytes in semisolid agar cultures. Colony formation was dependent on the presence of medium conditioned by a myelomonocytic leukemic cell line (WEHI-3CM). Megakaryocytes from the liquid and semisolid cultures were identified by cytoplasmic acetylcholine esterase and by ultrastructural analysis. The suspension medium from the bone marrow liquid cultures which sustained megakaryopoiesis was not directly acitive in stimulating megakaryocyte colony formation in the semisolid agar cultures, but potentiated the number of colonies detected when WEHI-3CM was present. Bone marrow-conditioned medium increased the sensitivity of megakaryocyte progenitor cells to the stimulus in WEHI-3CM. Addition of the activities present in the two sources produced a quantitative assay for the detection of mouse megakaryocyte progenitor cells. These studies showed: (1) that no inductive regulator of in vitro clones of megakaryocytes was present in the supernatants from the long-term marrow cultures and, (2) that at least two factors were necessary for the induction of megakaryocyte progenitors to proliferate and differentiate in semisolid cultures in vitro.

The bone marrow precursor cells seeding the thymus have been difficult to investigate using fresh bone marrow and in vivo thymus reconstitution assays. We have therefore designed a short-term bone marrow culture system allowing the study of thymus-repopulating cells in the marrow microenvironment. Low-density rat bone marrow cells were grown on pre-established mouse bone marrow stromal cell layers. Cocultured cells were maintained either under steroid-free conditions (Whitlock/Witte-type culture) or in the presence of 10(−7) M hydrocortisone (Dexter-type culture). After 3 days in vitro, the unanchored cell fractions were tested for their ability to colonize and repopulate fetal mouse thymic lobes in vitro. Both fresh low-density cells and Whitlock/Witte-type cultures, but not Dexter-type cultures, gave rise intrathymically to significant numbers of rat donor-type Thy-1.1high CD2+ CD5low CD43+ cells accounting for 50% to 90% of the organ-cultured cells at day 14. Repopulation of fetal mouse thymic lobes by rat Thy-1.1high cells could be used as a readout assay for initiation of thymopoiesis from bone marrow precursor cells, since 90% of the cells were CD3-/low and TCR alpha beta-/low and 15% of the cells co-expressed CD4 and CD8. Dose-response analysis showed that thymus repopulating cells were at least maintained, if not amplified during the 3-day culture period, leading to at least a 10-fold enrichment as compared to unfractionated bone marrow. Unlike fresh low-density cells before culture, short-term Whitlock/Witte-type cultures were depleted in myeloid-restricted precursor cells. In culture, the thymus-repopulating activity was predominantly associated with a 10% lymphoid cell subset which did not express the B-lineage-associated antigens revealed by HIS24 (the rat B220 equivalent) and HIS50 mAbs. We propose that unanchored thymus-repopulating cells enriched in Whitlock/Witte-type cultures may represent lymphoid-restricted, T-cell precursors of the bone marrow capable of emigrating and colonizing the thymus.

Introduction: As a part of our drug discovery program for anti-tubercular agents, dihydroartemisinin (DHA-1) was screened against Mtb H37Rv, which showed moderate anti-tubercular activity (>25.0 µg/mL). These results prompted us to carry out the chemical transformation of DHA-1 into various derivatives and study their antitubercular potential. Materials and Methods: DHA-1 was semi-synthetically converted into four new acyl derivatives (DHA-1A – DHA-1D) and in-vitro evaluated for their anti-tubercular potential against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv virulent strain. The derivatives, DHA-1C (12-O-(4-nitro) benzoyl; MIC 12.5 µg/mL) and DHA-1D (12-O-chloro acetyl; MIC 3.12µg/mL) showed significant activity against the pathogen. Results: In silico studies of the most active derivative (DHA-1D) showed interaction with ARG448 inhibiting the mycobacterium enzymes. Additionally, it showed no cytotoxicity towards the Vero C1008 cells and Mouse bone marrow derived macrophages. Conclusion: DHA-1D killed 62% intracellular M. tuberculosis in Mouse bone marrow macrophage infection model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first-ever report on the antitubercular potential of dihydroartemisinin and its derivatives. Since dihydroartemisinin is widely used as an antimalarial drug; these results may be of great help in anti-tubercular drug development from a very common, inexpensive, and non-toxic natural product.

Bone Marrow Chimeras

Spleen cells of bone marrow chimeras (B cells) and of irradiated mice injected with thymus cells and heterologous erythrocytes (educated T cells) were mixed and cultured together (17). The number of PFC developing in these cultures was dependent both on the concentration of the B cells and of the educated T cells. In excess of T cells the number of developing PFC is linearly dependent on the number of B cells. At high concentrations of T cells more PFC developed; the increase in the number of PFC was greatest between the 3rd and 4th day of culture. Increased numbers of educated T cells also assisted the development of PFC directed against the erythrocytes. It is concluded that the T cells not only play a role during the triggering of the precursor cells but also during the time of proliferation of the B cells; close contact between B and T cells seems to be needed to allow the positive activity of the T cells.

AbstractDiallyl sulphide (DAS), the pungent component of garlic, is known to have several medicinal properties and has recently been shown to have radiomitigative properties. The present study was performed to better understand its mode of action in rendering radiomitigation. Evaluation of the colonogenic ability of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) on methocult media, proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and transplantation of stem cells were performed. The supporting tissue of HSCs was also evaluated by examining the histology of bone marrow and in vitro colony-forming unit–fibroblast (CFU-F) count. Alterations in the levels of IL-5, IL-6 and COX-2 were studied as a function of radiation or DAS treatment. It was observed that an increase in proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells occurred by postirradiation DAS administration. It also resulted in increased circulating and bone marrow homing of transplanted stem cells. Enhancement in bone marrow cellularity, CFU-F count, and cytokine IL-5 level were also evident. All those actions of DAS that could possibly add to its radiomitigative potential and can be attributed to its HDAC inhibitory properties, as was observed by the reversal radiation induced increase in histone acetylation.

Multiple replication-defective retrovirus vectors were tested for their ability to transfer and express human adenosine deaminase in vitro and in vivo in a mouse bone marrow transplantation model. High-titer virus production was obtained from vectors by using both a retrovirus long terminal repeat promoter and internal transcriptional units with human c-fos and herpes virus thymidine kinase promoters. After infection of primary murine bone marrow with one of these vectors, human adenosine deaminase was detected in 60 to 85% of spleen colony-forming units and in the blood of 14 of 14 syngeneic marrow transplant recipients. This system offers the opportunity to assess methods for increasing efficiency of gene transfer, for regulation of expression of foreign genes in hematopoietic progenitors, and for long-term measurement of the stability of expression in these cells.
