Segmental Bone

Reconstruction of segmental bone defects poses a tremendous challenge for both orthopedic clinicians and scientists, since bone rehabilitation is requisite substantially and may be beyond the capacity of self-healing. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been identified as an optimal progenitor cell source to facilitate bone repair since they have a higher ability for proliferation and are more easily accessible than mature osteoblastic cells. In spite of the potential of BMSCs in regeneration medicine, particularly for bone reconstruction, noteworthy limitations still remain in previous application of BMSCs, including the amount of cells that could be recruited, the compromised bone migration of grafted cells, reduced proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation ability, and likely tumorigenesis. Our current work demonstrates that BMSCs transplanted through the caudal vein can be mobilized by erythropoietin (EPO) to the bone defect area and participate in regeneration of new bone. Based on the histological analysis and micro-CT findings of this study, EPO can dramatically promote the effects on the osteogenesis and angiogenesis efficiency of BMSCs in vivo. Animals that underwent EPO+BMSC administration demonstrated a remarkable increase in new bone formation, tissue structure organization, new vessel density, callus formation, and bone mineral density (BMD) compared with the BMSCs alone and control groups. At the biomechanical level, we demonstrated that combing transplantation of EPO and BMSCs enhances bone defect reconstruction by increasing the strength of the diaphysis, making it less fragile. Therefore, combination therapy using EPO infusion and BMSC transplantation may be a new therapeutic strategy for the reconstruction of segmental bone defect.

Abstract Background One of the greatest challenges for tissue-engineered bone is the low survival rate of locally grafted cells. The cell homing technology can effectively increase the number of these grafted cells, therefore, enhancing the repair of bone defects. Here we explore the effect of fucosylation modification on the directional homing of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and their ability to repair bone defects. Results Glycosylated BMSCs expressed high levels of the Sialyl Lewis-X (sLeX) antigen, which enabled the cells to efficiently bind to E- and P-selectins and to home to bone defect sites in vivo. Micro-CT and histological staining results confirmed that mice injected with FuT7-BMSCs showed an improved repair of bone defects compared to unmodified BMSCs. Conclusions The glycosylation modification of BMSCs has significantly enhanced their directional homing ability to bone defect sites, therefore, promoting bone repair. Our results suggest that glycosylation-modified BMSCs can be used as the source of the cells for the tissue-engineered bone and provide a new approach for the treatment of bone defects.

Segmental Bone

Large-segment bone defect caused by trauma or tumor is one of the most challenging problems in orthopedic clinics. Biomimetic materials for bone tissue engineering have developed dramatically in the past few decades. The organic combination of biomimetic materials and stem cells offers new strategies for tissue repair, and the fate of stem cells is closely related to their extracellular matrix (ECM) properties. In this study, a photocrosslinked biomimetic methacrylated gelatin (Bio-GelMA) hydrogel scaffold was prepared to simulate the physical structure and chemical composition of the natural bone extracellular matrix, providing a three-dimensional (3D) template and extracellular matrix microenvironment. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCS) were encapsulated in Bio-GelMA scaffolds to examine the therapeutic effects of ECM-loaded cells in a 3D environment simulated for segmental bone defects. In vitro results showed that Bio-GelMA had good biocompatibility and sufficient mechanical properties (14.22kPa). A rat segmental bone defect model was constructed in vivo. The GelMA-BMSC suspension was added into the PDMS mold with the size of the bone defect and photocured as a scaffold. BMSC-loaded Bio-GelMA resulted in maximum and robust new bone formation compared with hydrogels alone and stem cell group. In conclusion, the bio-GelMA scaffold can be used as a cell carrier of BMSC to promote the repair of segmental bone defects and has great potential in future clinical applications.
