Osteochondral Regeneration

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major joint disease that promotes locomotor deficiency during the middle- to old-age, with the associated disability potentially decreasing quality of life. Recently, surgical strategies to reconstruct both articular cartilage and subchondral bone for OA have been diligently investigated for restoring joint structure and function. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs), which maintain pluripotency and self-proliferation ability, have recently received attention as a useful tool to regenerate osteocartilage for OA. In this review, several studies were described related to AT-MSC spheroids, with scaffold and scaffold-free three-dimensional (3D) constructs produced using “mold” or “Kenzan” methods for osteochondral regeneration. First, several examples of articular cartilage regeneration using AT-MSCs were introduced. Second, studies of osteochondral regeneration (not only cartilage but also subchondral bone) using AT-MSCs were described. Third, examples were presented wherein spheroids were produced using AT-MSCs for cartilage regeneration. Fourth, osteochondral regeneration following autologous implantation of AT-MSC scaffold-free 3D constructs, fabricated using the “mold” or “Kenzan” method, was considered. Finally, prospects of osteochondral regeneration by scaffold-free 3D constructs using AT-MSC spheroids were discussed.

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.

Abstract To research the paracrine role of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) in promoting angiogenesis under the three-dimensional culture conditions consisting of a functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel. ADMSCs were isolated, extracted, and then identified. Three kinds of peptides (RADAI-16, RGD, and KLT) were prepared, and a functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel was produced by mixing RADAI-16, RGD, and KLT in a volume ratio 2:1:1. AFM was used to observe RADAI-16, RGD, KLT, and the functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel. Then, ADMSCs were cultured under three-dimensional conditions consisting of the peptide nanofiber hydrogel, and AFM was used to observe cell migration. The ADMSCs in the common culture group (37°C, 5% CO2 cell culture box) and hypoxic culture group (37°C, 10% CO2, and 1% O2 hypoxic culture box) acted as controls. ADMSCs were three-dimensionally cultured in situ for 1 day, and then the concentrations of HGF and VEGF in the supernatant were determined by ELISA. Cells were extracted from the peptide nanofiber hydrogel, and HO-1 expression was detected by western blotting. ADMSCs have high expression levels of CD29, CD90, and CDl05 and low expression levels of CD34 and CD45. In addition, they can differentiate into adipocytes and osteocytes. The diameters of the fibers of RADAI-16, RGD, KLT, and the functionalized self-assembling peptide hydrogel are 17.34 ± 1.82, 15.50 ± 1.41, 13.77 ± 1.18, and 20.26 ± 1.25 nm, respectively. AFM indicated that cells in the functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel migrated farther than those in RADAI-16. The concentrations of HGF under common, hypoxic, and three-dimensional culture conditions were 47.31 ± 6.75, 247.86 ± 17.59, and 297.25 ± 17.95 pg/mL, respectively, while the concentrations of VEGF were 218.30 ± 3.03, 267.13 ± 4.27, and 289.14 ± 3.11 pg/mL, respectively. Both HGF and VEGF were expressed more in the presence of the functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel than in its absence (P < 0.05). Using western blotting, ADMSCs cultured under hypoxic and three-dimensional conditions were found to have high expression levels of HO-1. Culturing ADMSCs under three-dimensional conditions consisting of functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogels can promote their paracrine role in angiogenesis, such as HGF and VEGF, and hypoxia is one of the important elements.

Osteochondral Regeneration

Allogeneic bone grafts are a promising material for bone implantation due to reduced operative trauma, reduced blood loss, and no donor-site morbidity. Although human decellularized allogeneic bone (hDCB) can be used to fill bone defects, the research of revitalizing hDCB blocks with human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) for osteochondral regeneration is missing. The hMSCs derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and Wharton’s jelly (BMMSCs, ADMSCs, and UMSCs, respectively) are potential candidates for bone regeneration. This study characterized the potential of hDCB as a scaffold for osteogenesis and chondrogenesis of BMMSCs, ADMSCs, and UMSCs. The pore sizes and mechanical strength of hDCB were characterized. Cell survival and adhesion of hMSCs were investigated using MTT assay and F-actin staining. Alizarin Red S and Safranin O staining were conducted to demonstrate calcium deposition and proteoglycan production of hMSCs after osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation, respectively. A RT-qPCR was performed to analyze the expression levels of osteogenic and chondrogenic markers in hMSCs. Results indicated that BMMSCs and ADMSCs exhibited higher osteogenic potential than UMSCs. Furthermore, ADMSCs and UMSCs had higher chondrogenic potential than BMMSCs. This study demonstrated that chondrogenic ADMSCs- or UMSCs-seeded hDCB might be potential osteochondral constructs for osteochondral regeneration.

AbstractCurrently used synthetic vascular grafts bear a high infection risk due to insufficient microvascularization of the graft wall disabling the infiltration of immune cells. Tissue-engineered grafts with a functional pre-vascularization thus would be desirable. However, autologous tissue sources for capillary forming cells need to be evaluated. Here, peripheral blood outgrowth endothelial cells (PB-OEC) from 17 healthy donors and pericyte-like mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ASC) of 17 patients scheduled for visceral surgery were characterized and investigated regarding their ability to form capillary-like networks in plasma-derived fibrin gels. To obtain proliferating PB-OEC with endothelial cell-specific properties (CD31-, VE-cadherin-expression, ac-LDL uptake and three-dimensional (3D)-tube formation in fibrin gels) both enrichment of CD34
