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.

This study is to explore the osteogenesis potential of the human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) induced by naringin in vitro and in vitro. The results confirmed that 1 μM naringin performs the best effect and a collection of bone-related genes (RUNX2,COL1A2, OPN, and OCN) had significantly higher expression levels compared to the control group. Furthermore, a typical trabecular structure was observed in vivo, surrounded by a large amount of osteoblasts. These results demonstrated that naringin, at a concentration of 1 μM, can efficiently promote the proliferation and differentiation of hPDLSCs both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract The combination of biomaterials and stem cells for clinical applications constitute a great challenge in bone tissue engineering. Hence, cellular networks derived from cells-biomaterials crosstalk have a profound influence on cell behaviour and communication, preceding proliferation and differentiation. The purpose of this study was to investigate in vitro cellular networks derived from human gingival mesenchymal stem cells (hGMSCs) and calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramic interaction. Biological performance of CaP bioceramic and hGMSCs interaction was evaluated through cell adhesion and distribution, cellular proliferation, and potential osteogenic differentiation, at three different times: 5 h, 1 week and 4 weeks. Results confirmed that hGMSCs met the required MSCs criteria while displaying osteogenic differentiaton capacities. We found a significant increase of cellular numbers and proliferation levels. Also, protein and mRNA OPN expression were upregulated in cells cultured with CaP bioceramic by day 21, suggesting an osteoinductible effect of the CaP bioceramic on hGMSCs. Remarkably, CaP bioceramic aggregations were obtained through hGMSCs bridges, suggesting the in vitro potential of macrostructures formation. We conclude that hGMSCs and CaP bioceramics with micro and macropores support hGMSC adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Our results suggest that investigations focused on the interface cells-biomaterials are essential for bone tissue regenerative therapies.

DNA methylation regulated gene expression is important for osteoblast proliferation and differentiation during bone remodeling and its deregulation leads to the development of osteoporosis. DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is an important regulator of DNA methylation. To explore the effect and mechanism of differential expression of DNMT1 in osteoblast precursor cells, DNMT1 siRNAs were designed and synthesized to interfere with DNMT1 expression in the osteoblast precursor cells, MC3T3E1 (Clone 24; MC3T3E1-24). The expression of the target gene, DNMT1, and osteogenic differentiation indicators osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting (WB). MTT assay was used to detect the effect on cell proliferation. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red staining were used to detect the effect of DNMT1 on osteogenic differentiation. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was used to detect the morphological changes in MC3T3E1-24 cells. Twenty-four hours following the transfection of MC3T3E1-24 cells with DNMT1 siRNA using cationic liposomes, DNMT1 mRNA and protein levels decreased significantly (P <0.001 for both). The reduced expression of DNMT1 promoted the OPG mRNA and protein expression (P <0.05), increased the ratio of OPG to RANKL (P <0.05), inhibited the expression of RANKL (P <0.01) without affecting the RANKL gene expression (not significant, P >0.05). The reduced expression of DNMT1 also promoted the proliferation of osteoblast precursor cells. In addition, ALP activity test and alizarin red staining showed that reduced expression of DNMT1 resulted in an increase in OPG/RANKL ratio and promoted the differentiation of the precursor cells. The cultured cells were found to have fibroblast-like appearance, and calcium nodules were observed after 7 days of conventional culture. In addition, to improve the efficiency of RNA extraction and save time, a type of silica nanomagnetic beads was used in the early stage of this study to extract RNA and assist qPCR detection of the target genes. The results showed that the magnetic beads could effectively extract RNA from the cells. In conclusion, low expression of DNMT1 affects proliferation and maturation of osteoblasts by upregulating OPG and OPG/RANKL ratio.

Polypyrrole (PPy) is a promising conducting polymer in bone regeneration; however, due to the biological inertia of the PPy surface, it has poor cell affinity and bioactivity. Based on the excellent adhesion capacity, biocompatibility, and bioactivity of polydopamine (PDA), the PDA is used as a functional coating in tissue repair and regeneration. Herein, we used a two-step method to construct a functional conductive coating of polypyrrole/polydopamine (PPy/PDA) nanocomposite for bone regeneration. PPy nanowires (NWs) are used as the morphologic support layer, and a layer of highly bioactive PDA is introduced on the surface of PPy NWs by solution oxidation. By controlling the depositing time of PDA within 5 h, the damage of nano morphology and conductivity of the PPy NWs caused by the coverage of PDA deposition layer can be effectively avoided, and the thin PDA layer also significantly improve the hydrophilicity, adhesion, and biological activity of PPy NWs coating. The PPy/PDA NWs coating performs better biocombaitibility and bioactivity than pure PPy NWs and PDA, and has benefits for the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on the surface. In addition, PPy/PDA NWs can significantly promote the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 in combination with micro galvanostatic electrical stimulation (ES).

Activation of Protein Kinase AMP-Activated Catalytic Subunit Alpha (AMPKα) is an important regulatory pathway for osteogenic differentiation. STAT4 acts as a transcriptional activity factor to regulate the transcription of many genes and is potentially a regulatory factor for AMPKα transcription activity. To confirm the regulatory effect of STAT4 on AMPKα and the effect of STAT4 on osteogenic differentiation, the promoter sequence of AMPKα was analyzed via bioinformatics, the STAT4 overexpression vector was constructed and transfected into human osteoblast-like cells MG-63 by cationic liposome, fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blotting technologies were used to detect the effect of STAT4 on the expression of AMPKα. MTT and ALP activity assays were also used to verify the effect of STAT4 on the proliferation and maturation of osteoblasts by regulating AMPKα expression. Our results showed that STAT4 was a co-transcriptional regulator of AMPKα1 and AMPKα2, which combined the enrichment region of CpG on the promoter sequence of AMPKα1/2. Overexpression of STAT4 significantly increased the expression of AMPKα1 and AMPKα2, which promoted the proliferation and maturation of osteoblasts. We concluded that STAT4 was a transcriptional activator of AMPKα and promoting STAT4 expression enhances the proliferation and differentiation activity of AMPKα in osteoblasts.
