Background/Aims: This study investigated the effect of silencing TOB1 (Transducer of ERBB2, 1) expression in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on MSC-facilitated tendon-bone healing in a rat supraspinatus repair model. Methods: Rat MSCs were transduced with a recombinant lentivirus encoding short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against TOB1. MSC cell proliferation was analyzed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. The effect of MSCs with TOB1 deficiency on tendon-bone healing in a rat rotator cuff repair model was evaluated by biomechanical testing, histological analysis and collagen type I and II gene expression. An upstream regulator (miR-218) of TOB1 was determined in MSCs. Results: We found that knockdown of TOB1 significantly increased the proliferative activity of rat MSCs in vitro. When MSCs with TOB1 deficiency were injected into injured rat supraspinatus tendon-bone junctions, the effect on tendon-bone healing was enhanced compared to treatment with control MSCs with normal TOB1 expression, as evidenced by elevated levels of ultimate load to failure and stiffness, increased amount of fibrocartilage and augmented expression of collagen type I and type II genes. In addition, we found that the TOB1 3′ untranslated region is a direct target of miR-218. Similar to the effect of TOB1 deficiency, overexpression of miR-218 effectively promoted tendon-bone healing in rat. Conclusion: These results suggest that TOB1 may play a negative role in the effect of MSCs on tendon-bone healing, and imply that expression of TOB1 may be regulated by miR-218.

The present study focused on the isolation, cultivation and characterization of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from adipose tissue and on their differentiation into chondrocytes through the NH ChondroDiff medium. The main aim was to investigate some markers of biomechanical quality of cartilage, such as lubricin, and collagen type I and II. Little is known, in fact, about the ability of chondrocytes from human MSCs of adipose tissue to generate lubricin in three-dimensional (3D) culture. Lubricin, a 227.5-kDa mucinous glycoprotein, is known to play an important role in articular joint physiology, and the loss of accumulation of lubricin is thought to play a role in the pathology of osteoarthritis. Adipose tissue is an alternative source for the isolation of multipotent MSCs, which allows them to be obtained by a less invasive method and in larger quantities than from other sources. These cells can be isolated from cosmetic liposuctions in large numbers and easily grown under standard tissue culture conditions. 3D chondrocytes were assessed by histology (hematoxylin and eosin) and histochemistry (Alcian blue and Safranin-O/fast green staining). Collagen type I, II and lubricin expression was determined through immunohistochemistry and Western blot. The results showed that, compared with control cartilage and monolayer chondrocytes showing just collagen type I, chondrocytes from MSCs (CD44-, CD90- and CD105- positive; CD45-, CD14- and CD34-negative) of adipose tissue grown in nodules were able to express lubricin, and collagen type I and II, indicative of hyaline cartilage formation. Based on the function of lubricin in the joint cavity and disease and as a potential therapeutic agent, our results suggest that MSCs from adipose tissue are a promising cell source for tissue engineering of cartilage. Our results suggest that chondrocyte nodules producing lubricin could be a novel biotherapeutic approach for the treatment of cartilage abnormalities.

Differentiation Potential

Cell-based therapies using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising tool in bone tissue engineering. Bone regeneration with MSCs involves a series of molecular processes leading to the activation of the osteoinductive cascade supported by bioactive factors, including fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). In this study, we examined the biological characteristics and osteogenic differentiation potential of sheep bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) treated with 20 ng/mL of FGF-2 and 100 ng/mL BMP-2 in vitro. The biological properties of osteogenic-induced BM-MSCs were investigated by assessing their morphology, proliferation, phenotype, and cytokine secretory profile. The osteogenic differentiation was characterized by Alizarin Red S staining, immunofluorescent staining of osteocalcin and collagen type I, and expression levels of genetic markers of osteogenesis. The results demonstrated that BM-MSCs treated with FGF-2 and BMP-2 maintained their primary MSC properties and improved their osteogenic differentiation capacity, as confirmed by increased expression of osteocalcin and collagen type I and upregulation of osteogenic-related gene markers BMP-2, Runx2, osterix, collagen type I, osteocalcin, and osteopontin. Furthermore, sheep BM-MSCs produced a variety of bioactive factors involved in osteogenesis, and supplementation of the culture medium with FGF-2 and BMP-2 affected the secretome profile of the cells. The results suggest that sheep osteogenic-induced BM-MSCs may be used as a cellular therapy to study bone repair in the preclinical large animal model.

Antioxidant Proteins

Oxidative stress from high levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been linked to various bone diseases. Previous studies indicate that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) secrete bioactive factors (conditioned medium (MSC-CM)) that have antioxidant effects. However, the antioxidant role of MSC-CM on osteogenesis has not been fully studied. We aimed to identify antioxidant proteins in MSC-CM using mass spectrometry-based proteomics and to explore their effects on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSC) exposed to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Our analysis revealed that MSC-CM is comprised of antioxidant proteins that are involved in several biological processes, including negative regulation of apoptosis and positive regulation of cell proliferation. Then, hBMSC exposed to H2O2 were treated with MSC-CM, and the effects on their osteogenic differentiation were evaluated. MSC-CM restored H2O2-induced damage to hBMSC by increasing the antioxidant enzyme-SOD production and the mRNA expression level of the anti-apoptotic BCL-2. A decrease in ROS production and cellular apoptosis was also shown. MSC-CM also modulated mRNA expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes, runt-related transcription factor 2, collagen type I, bone morphogenic protein 2, and osteopontin. Furthermore, collagen type I protein secretion, alkaline phosphatase activity, and in vitro mineralization were increased. These results indicate that MSC-CM contains several proteins with antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties that restored the impaired hBMSC osteogenic differentiation associated with oxidative stress.

Tenogenic Differentiation

Category: Basic Sciences/Biologics Introduction/Purpose: Human palatine tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells (T-MSCs) are known to be a new source of progenitor cells. Using waste tissue after tonsillectomy as a cell provider can be the biggest benefit of T-MSCs, compared with other stem cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate tenogenic differentiation of T-MSCs and to access the differential effects of TGF-ß3 on the tenogenesis of T-MSCs. Methods: Human tonsil was obtained after tonsillectomy.Using a cytometric analysis, we were able to find that the T-MSCs had typical mesenchymal stem cell markers: positive for CD73, CD90 and CD105, and negative for CD14, CD34 and CD45. Using a Transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF-ß3), the expressions of tenocyte-specific genes and proteins, such as Collagen type I (COL1), Tenomodulin (TNMD), and Scleraxis (SCX), were measured by a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, immunofluorescence staining, immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. Results: Quantitative PCR assay showed that TGF-ß3 significantly increased the expressions of tenocyte lineage marker genes, including Collagen type I (COL1), Tenomodulin (TNMD), and Scleraxis (SCX), at a 3-day treatment, compared with control. However, these increases were not found at long-term exposures (7 or 10 days), except that TNMD expression was maintained at 50 ng/ml at 7-day exposure to TGF-ß3 (Fig). Like genes, the protein expression levels of COL1, TNMD, and SCX were also induced in TGF-ß3-treated T-MSCsin 3-day treatments. Moreover, the protein levels were maintained for 10 days, as evidenced by immunofluorescence staining, immunohistochemistry and Western blot analyses. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that T-MSCs in tenogenic stimulation with TGF-ß3 have high tenogenic differentiation potential.

Anterior Cruciate

After an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, surgical reconstructions are necessary in most cases, either with autografts, allografts, or artificial ligaments. Potential tissue-engineered ligaments would circumvent the disadvantages apparent in these methods. While seeding of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and fascia wrap could potentially improve tissue regeneration and mechanical properties, their exact roles were evaluated in the current study. Knitted biodegradable scaffolds of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and poly-glycolic-lactic acid (PGLA) yarns were used to reconstruct ACL in 48 rabbits. These were divided into four equal groups: only knitted scaffolds were used in group I; knitted scaffolds and mesenchymal stem cells were used in group II; knitted scaffolds, MSCs, and fascia lata were used in group III; knitted scaffolds and fascia lata were used in group IV. Carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFDA)-labeled MSCs were used to trace the fate of seeded cells in groups II and III. Histology, Western blot analysis, and mechanical properties of reconstructed ACL were analyzed after 20 weeks. Fibroblast ingrowths were seen in all four groups while CFDA-labeled MSCs could be found after 8 weeks of implantation in groups II and III. Both the amount of collagen type I and collagen type III in groups III and IV were significantly higher than in group II, which was much higher than in group I. Both maximal tensile loads and stiffness of the reconstructed ACLs in groups I, II, III, and IV were significantly lower than normal controls after 20 weeks of implantation. It is concluded that MSCs could promote synthesis of collagen type I and collagen type III in tissue-engineered ligaments, while fascia wraps have stronger effects. Both MSC seeding and fascia wrap could not enhance ultimate tensile load and stiffness.
