    Cartilage Development and Maturation In Vitro and In Vivo Johnathan Ng Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2017 © 2017 Johnathan Ng All rights reserved Abstract Cartilage Development and Maturation In Vitro and In Vivo Johnathan Ng The articular cartilage has a limited capacity to regenerate. Cartilage lesions often result in degeneration, leading to osteoarthritis. Current treatments are mostly palliative and reparative, and fail to restore cartilage function in the long term due to the replacement of hyaline cartilage with fibrocartilage. Although a stem-cell based approach towards regenerating the articular cartilage is attractive, cartilage generated from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) often lack the function, organization and stability of the native cartilage. Thus, there is a need to develop effective methods to engineer physiologic cartilage tissues from hMSCs in vitro and assess their outcomes in vivo. This dissertation focused on three coordinated aims: establish a simple in vivo model for studying the maturation of osteochondral tissues by showing that subcutaneous implantation in a mouse recapitulates native endochondral ossification (Aim 1), (ii) develop a robust method for engineering physiologic cartilage discs from self-assembling hMSCs (Aim 2), and (iii) improve the organization and stability of cartilage discs by implementing spatiotemporal control during induction in vitro (Aim 3). First, the usefulness of subcutaneous implantation in mice for studying the development and maintenance of osteochondral tissues in vivo was determined. By studying juvenile bovine osteochondral tissues, similarities in the profiles of endochondral ossification between the native and ectopic processes were observed.

Das Periost spielt im Bezug auf die Blutversorgung des Knochens während der Frakturheilung und als Quelle von Progenitorzellen eine wichtige Rolle. Da- her untersuchten wir in dieser Studie den Einfluss eines standardisierten periostalen Schadens auf die Heilung einer Spaltosteotomie, um zu bestimmen, ob diese Verletzung letztendlich zur Entstehung einer verzögerten Frakturheilung führt. Die Ergebnisse der MikroCT- und der immunohistologischen Auswer- tung zeigten, dass der zugefügte periostale Schaden das Wachstum des Kallus signifikant unterdrückte und eine Verzögerung in der Ausprägung der Geflechtknochenformation sowie in der folgenden Um- bauphase in lamellären Knochen bewirkte. Die radiologische Auswertung gab Hinweise auf eine zeitlich verlängerte Heilung von bis zu zwei Wochen. Ergebnisse der mechanischen Testung bewiesen, dass die Biegesteifigkeit der heilenden Knochen mit periostaler Schädigung deutlich geringer war. In beiden un- tersuchten Gruppen konnte eine Knochenheilung festgestellt werden, die sich allerdings langsamer in der Gruppe mit periostalem Schaden vollzog als in der Kontrollgruppe.

However, more is becoming known about the cellular and paracrine contributions of muscle to the fracture healing process. Research has shown that muscle is capable of supplying osteoprogenitor cells in cases where the periosteum is insufficient, and the muscular osteoprogenitors possess similar osteogenic potential to those derived from the periosteum. Muscle’s secrotome includes proteins capable of inhibiting or enhancing osteogenesis and myogenesis following musculoskeletal injury and can be garnered for ther - apeutic use in patients with traumatic musculoskeletal injuries. In this review, we will highlight the current knowledge on mus - cle-bone interaction in the context of fracture healing as well as concisely present the current models to study such interactions. Keywords: Muscle, Bone, Fracture, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Paracrine Introduction To understand muscle’s potential role in fracture repair, a comprehension of the repair process is necessary.

  • Skeleton Contains Cartilage and Bones
    Biology 325 Fall 2004 BONES AND SKELETAL TISSUES Introduction -skeleton contains cartilage and bones -the emphasis on this section is the structure and function of bone tissue and on the dynamics of its formation and remodeling throughout life. I. Skeletal Cartilage -the fetal skeleton is made of cartilage and fibrous membranes which are eventually replaced by bones. -cartilage not replaced by bones is found in regions where more resilient skeletal tissue is needed; skeletal cartilages can be hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage. A. Hyaline cartilage -provides support with flexibility and resilience. -it is the most abundant type of skeletal cartilage. -locations: -ends of movable joints - articular cartilage. -connecting the ribs to the sternum - costal cartilage. -forming the skeleton of the larynx - laryngeal cartilage. -reinforcing passageways to the respiratory system - tracheal and bronchial cartilages. -supporting the external nose - nasal cartilages. B. Elastic cartilage -able to withstand repeated bending. -found in two skeletal locations: external ear and the epiglottis. C. Fibrocartilage -highly compressible and provides for tensile strength. -found in skeletal locations that are subjected to heavy pressure and stretch. -pad-like cartilages of the knee - menisci. -intervertebral disks. D. Growth of cartilage 1. Appositional growth: growth from the outside. -chondrocytes below surrounding perichondrium secrete a new matrix against the existing cartilage. 2. Interstitial growth: growth from within. -lacunae bound chondrocyte divide and secrete new matrix. II. Functions of Bones: A. Support: provide the framework of the body and cradle organs. B. Protection: provided the skull, ribs, and the vertebral column. C. Movement: muscles attach to the bones and use them as levers to move body parts.

We sought to characterize progenitor cells and their contribution to bone fracture healing. The periosteum is highly enriched with progenitor cells, including Sca1+ cells, fibroblast colony-forming units, and label-retaining cells compared to the endosteum and bone marrow. Using lineage tracing, we demonstrate that alpha smooth muscle actin (aSMA) identifies long-term, slow-cycling, self- renewing osteochondroprogenitors in the adult periosteum that are functionally important for bone formation during fracture healing. In addition, Col2.3CreER-labeled osteoblast cells contribute around 10% of osteoblasts but no chondrocytes in fracture calluses. Most periosteal osteochondroprogenitors following fracture can be targeted by aSMACreER. Previously identified skeletal stem cell populations were common in periosteum but contained high proportions of mature osteoblasts. We have demonstrated that the periosteum is highly enriched with skeletal progenitor cells, and there is heterogeneity in the populations of cells that contribute to mature lineages during periosteal fracture healing. *For correspondence: [email protected] Introduction Bone tissue retains the ability to heal and regenerate throughout life.

Effective therapies for bone regeneration primarily require the coordinated combination of innovative scaffolds, seed cells, and biological factors. However, current techniques in bone tissue engineering have not yet reached valid translation into clinical applications because of several limitations, such as weaker osteogenic differentiation, inadequate vascularization of scaffolds, and inefficient growth factor delivery. Therefore, further standardized protocols and innovative measures are required to overcome these shortcomings and facilitate the clinical application of these techniques to enhance bone regeneration. Given the deficiency of comprehensive studies in the development in BTE, our review systematically introduces the new types of biomimetic and bifunctional scaffolds. We describe the cell sources, biology of seed cells, growth factors, vascular development, and the interactions of relevant molecules. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and perspectives that may propel the direction of future clinical delivery in bone regeneration.
