In consideration of improving the interface problems of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that hindered biomedical use, surface coatings have been explored as an appealing strategy in establishing a multi-functional coating for osteogenesis. Though the layer-by-layer (LBL) coating developed, a few studies have applied double-crosslinked hydrogels in this technique. In this research, we established a bilayer coating with double-crosslinked hydrogels [alginate–gelatin methacrylate (GelMA)] containing bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-2 [alginate-GelMA/hydroxyapatite (HA)/BMP-2], which displayed great biocompatibility and osteogenesis. The characterization of the coating showed improved properties and enhanced wettability of the native PLLA. To evaluate the biosafety and inductive ability of osteogenesis, the behavior (viability, adherence, and proliferation) and morphology of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) on the bilayer coatings were tested by multiple exams. The satisfactory function of osteogenesis was verified in bilayer coatings. We found the best ratios between GelMA and alginate for biological applications. The Alg70-Gel30 and Alg50-Gel50 groups facilitated the osteogenic transformation of hBMSCs. In brief, alginate-GelMA/HA/BMP-2 could increase the hBMSCs’ early transformation of osteoblast lineage and promote the osteogenesis of bone defect, especially the outer hydrogel layer such as Alg70-Gel30 and Alg50-Gel50.

Aims Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel type of non-coding RNA that plays major roles in the development of diverse diseases including osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Here, we explored the impact of hsa_circ_0066523 derived from forkhead box P1 (FOXP1) (also called circFOXP1) on bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which is important for ONFH development. Methods RNA or protein expression in BMSCs was analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot, respectively. Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8) and 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) were used to analyze cell proliferation. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining, and Alizarin Red S staining were employed to evaluate the osteoblastic differentiation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), luciferase reporter, RNA pull down, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were combined for exploring molecular associations. Results Circ_0066523 was upregulated in osteogenic induction process of BMSCs. Silencing circ_0066523 restrained the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Mechanistically, circ_0066523 activated phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase / AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (PI3K/AKT) pathway via recruiting lysine demethylase 5B (KDM5B) to epigenetically repress the transcription of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). Functionally, AKT signalling pathway agonist or PTEN knockdown counteracted the effects of silenced circ_0066523 on BMSC proliferation and differentiation. Conclusion Circ_0066523 promotes the proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs by epigenetically repressing PTEN and therefore activating AKT pathway. This finding might open new avenues for the identification of therapeutic targets for osteoblast differentiation related diseases such as ONFH. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2021;10(8):526–535.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have the potential to differentiate into different types of mesodermal tissues. In vitro proliferation and differentiation of hMSCs are necessary for bone regeneration in tissue engineering. The present study aimed to design and develop a fluid flow mechanically-assisted cartridge device to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. We used the fluorescence-activated cell-sorting method to analyze the multipotent properties of hMSCs and found that the cultured cells retained their stemness potential. We also evaluated the cell viabilities of the cultured cells via water-soluble tetrazolium salt 1 (WST-1) assay under different rates of flow (0.035, 0.21, and 0.35 mL/min) and static conditions and found that the cell growth rate was approximately 12% higher in the 0.035 mL/min flow condition than the other conditions. Moreover, the cultured cells were healthy and adhered properly to the culture substrate. Enhanced mineralization and alkaline phosphatase activity were also observed under different perfusion conditions compared to the static conditions, indicating that the applied conditions play important roles in the proliferation and differentiation of hMSCs. Furthermore, we determined the expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes, including the runt-related protein 2 (Runx2), collagen type I (Col1), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN), under various perfusion vis-à-vis static conditions and found that they were significantly affected by the applied conditions. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensities of OCN and OPN osteogenic gene markers were found to be enhanced in the 0.035 mL/min flow condition compared to the control, indicating that it was a suitable condition for osteogenic differentiation. Taken together, the findings of this study reveal that the developed cartridge device promotes the proliferation and differentiation of hMSCs and can potentially be used in the field of tissue engineering.
