Background/Aims: Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is the focus and difficulty of orthopedic diseases. Recently, tissue engineering bone for this disease has shown a good therapeutic effect. The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) as cytokines transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in constructing tissue-engineered bone for avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Methods: The FGF-2 gene overexpressed lentivirus-transfected rBMSCs with xenogeneic antigen-extracted cancellous bone (XACB) to construct tissue engineered bone, and the model of early avascular necrosis of the femoral head was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) combined with hormone. The models were randomly divided into five groups: A (control), B (XACB), C (XACB+rBMSCs), D (XACB+rBMSCs+Lv-GFP), and E (XACB+rBMSCs+Lv-FGF-2/GFP) groups. The therapeutic effect of the tissue engineered bone for the avascular necrosis of the femoral head was evaluated by gross anatomy, X-ray examination, immunohistochemistry and H&E staining. Results: The FGF-2 gene was transfected into rBMSCs (Multiplicity of infection [MOI] = 100) by lentivirus, and its efficiency was above 95%. The rBMSCs were successfully transfected overexpressing FGF-2 by qPCR and western blot. After tissue engineering bone implantation, X-ray examination and gross specimen observation revealed that the repair area in the E group was > 80% at six weeks, the defect was completely repaired at 12 weeks, and osteogenesis was stronger, when compared with the other groups. For the X-ray score, vascular area density and new bone formation area were higher, when compared with the other groups, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: FGF-2 gene overexpression lentivirus transfection BMSCs combined with XACB to construct tissue engineered bone can effectively promote vascular regeneration, and improve the repair effect of avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

We investigated the effects of Shenfu Injection (SFI) on HCN4 activity in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The sample of BMSCs was divided into six groups: a control group, a high-dose SFI group (0.25 ml/ml), a middle-dose SFI group (0.1 ml/ml), a low-dose SFI group (0.05 ml/ml), an adenovirus-encoded control vector group, and an adenovirus-encoded HCN4 group. Cell ultrastructure was observed using a transmission electron microscope. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to detect HCN4 expression, and HCN4 activity was detected using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to detect cAMP content. Application of flow cytometry confirmed that the isolated cells showed BMSC-like phenotypes. Differentiation of BMSCs in both the SFI and the adenovirus-encoding HCN4 groups occurred according to the cellular ultrastructure. Application of the whole-cell patch clamp technique revealed that SFI could activate the inward pacing current of BMSCs in a concentration-dependent manner. The RT-qPCR results showed that HCN4 expression was significantly higher in the high-dose SFI group than in the medium- and low-dose groups, whereas the cAMP content in the overexpressed HCN4 group decreased significantly; this content in the high-dose SFI group increased significantly. In conclusion, SFI promotes HCN4 activity in BMSCs, which could explain its treatment effect when administered to patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are used in cardiac tissue engineering for the regeneration of diseased hearts. We examined the differentiation of rat BMMSCs into cardiomyocyte-like cells when induced with a combined low dose treatment of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and 5-azacytidine (5-AZA). Results showed that cell proliferation in the combined low dose treatment group of TGF-β1 and 5-AZA was increased compared with the TGF-β1 group or the 5-AZA group. The cell apoptosis was relieved by combined TGF-β1 and 5-AZA treatment compared to 5-AZA treatment alone. The number of cells positive for myosin heavy chain, connexin-43,α-actin, and troponin I in the combined treatment group was higher than those observed in the TGF-β1 group or the 5-AZA group. Moreover, the combined low dose treatment group of TGF-β1 and 5-AZA reveals the strongest expression of troponin I,α-actin, and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (p-ErK1/2) among the treatment groups. These results suggest that the combined low dose treatment of TGF-β1 and 5-AZA can improve the differentiation potential of rat BMMSCs into cardiomyocyte-like cells and alleviate cell damage effectsin vitro. The mechanism that is involved in influencing differentiation may be associated with p-ErK1/2.

Background: This study investigated the effect of using adenovirus-mediated expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Ad-BMP-2) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in combination with a demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to repair osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in Beagle dogs. Methods: A total of 30 Beagle dogs were selected for the isolation of BMSCs, which were cultured and transfected with the recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-BMP2-bFGF-GFP (carrying BMP-2 and bFGF) or a control adenovirus plasmid (encoding green fluorescent protein (Ad-GFP)). The expression of the transfected BMP-2 and bFGF proteins was detected by Western blotting. After transfection, the BMSCs were induced to undergo osteoblastic differentiation. The DBM was prepared to construct a DBM/BMSC complex. Beagle models of canine femoral head defects and necrosis were established and divided into control, DBM, DBM/BMSC, vector Ad-BMP2-bFGF-GFP and Ad-GFP groups. The composite graft was then implanted, and new bone morphology was visualized via X-ray at 3, 6 and 12 weeks after the operation. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Masson’s trichrome staining were used to identify new bone formation. Immunohistochemistry was performed to calculate the density of new blood vessels. The compressive and bending strength of the BMSCs was evaluated at 12 weeks after the operation. Results: BMSCs were successfully isolated. The protein expression of BMP-2 and bFGF was significantly higher in the Ad-BMP-2/bFGF group than the normal and Ad-GFP groups. Compared with the control group, at 12 weeks after the operation, the DBM, DBM/BMSC, vector Ad-BMP2-bFGF-GFP and Ad-GFP groups showed a larger area of new bone, higher X-ray scores, greater neovascularization density, and increased compressive and bending strength. The most significant modifications occurred in thevector Ad-BMP2-bFGF-GFP group. Conclusion: The results indicate that the use of Ad-BMP-2/bFGF-modified BMSCs in conjunction with DBM could successfully repair ONFH in a dog model by promoting bone formation and angiogenesis.
