Extracellular Matrix Components and Culture Regimen Selectively Regulate Cartilage Formation by Self-Assembling Human Mesenchyma Ng et al. Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2016) 7:183 DOI 10.1186/s13287-016-0447-4 RESEARCH Open Access Extracellular matrix components and culture regimen selectively regulate cartilage formation by self-assembling human mesenchymal stem cells in vitro and in vivo Johnathan Ng1, Yiyong Wei1, Bin Zhou1,3, Aonnicha Burapachaisri1, Edward Guo1,3 and Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic1,2* Abstract Background: Cartilage formation from self-assembling mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro recapitulate important cellular events during mesenchymal condensation that precedes native cartilage development. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of cartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM) components and culture regimen on cartilage formation by self-assembling human MSCs in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Human bone marrow-derived MSCs (hMSCs) were seeded and compacted in 6.5-mm-diameter transwell inserts with coated (type I, type II collagen) or uncoated (vehicle) membranes, at different densities (0.5 × 106,1.0×106, 1.5 × 106 per insert). Pellets were formed by aggregating hMSCs (0.25 × 106) in round-bottomed wells. All tissues were cultured for up to 6 weeks for in vitro analyses. Discs (cultured for 6, 8 or 10 weeks) and pellets (cultured for 10 weeks) were implanted subcutaneously in immunocompromised mice to evaluate the cartilage stability in vivo. Results: Type I and type II collagen coatings enabled cartilage disc formation from self-assembling hMSCs. Without ECM coating, hMSCs formed dome-shaped tissues resembling the pellets. Type I collagen, expressed in the prechondrogenic mesenchyme, improved early chondrogenesis versus type II collagen. High seeding density improved cartilage tissue properties but resulted in a lower yield of disc formation. Discs and pellets exhibited compositional and organizational differences in vitro and in vivo. Prolonged chondrogenic induction of the discs in vitro expedited endochondral ossification in vivo. Conclusions: The outcomes of cartilage tissues formed from self-assembling MSCs in vitro and in vivo can be modulated by the control of culture parameters. These insights could motivate new directions for engineering cartilage and bone via a cartilage template from self-assembling MSCs. Background complications.

    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.

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2008 A murine delayed-union fracture healing model Wissing, Sandra Abstract: Da das Mäusegenom entschlüsselt wurde, wäre es vorteilhaft, ein Mausmodel zur verzögerten Frakturheilung zu besitzen, um die molekularen Mechanismen und Behandlung dieser noch bestehenden Komplikation der Knochenheilung zu verstehen. 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.

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.
