Effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide on osteoblast differentiation in an osteoblast and endothelial cell co-culture system

We have investigated the in vitro effects and regulatory mechanism of CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) on the differentiation of OB (osteoblasts) in co-culture with HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells). Primary human MOB (mandibular OB) and OB-like cells (MG-63) were either cultured directly or indirectly co-cultured with HUVEC at a 1:1 ratio. Expression of OC (osteocalcin) was measured by ELISA, and expression of ALP (alkaline phosphatase) and collagen mRNA was measured by quantitative fluorescent PCR. For mineralization nodus, OB were stained with Alizarin Red-S. When co-cultured with HUVEC, expression of OC and ALP mRNA were increased in MG-63 (P<0.01), and the expression of OC, ALP and collagen mRNA were increased in MOB (P<0.01 or 0.05). When treated with CGRP, OC and ALP mRNA and mineralization nodus numbers were increased in the MG-63 co-culture system (P<0.01 or 0.05); OC, ALP and collagen mRNA, and mineralization nodus numbers were increased in the MOB co-culture system (P<0.01 or 0.05). The effect of CGRP regulation on the differentiation of OB is not only direct but also indirect, via its effect on HUVEC and stimulation of OB.     

Safrole oxide is a useful tool for investigating the effect of apoptosis in vascular endothelial cells on neural stem cell survival and differentiation in vitro

Previously, we found safrole oxide could promote VEC apoptosis, however, it is not known whether it can induce NSC apoptosis. It is reported that neural stem cells (NSCs) are localized in a vascular niche. But the effects of apoptosis in vascular endothelial cells (VEC) on NSC growth and differentiation are not clear. To answer these questions, in this study, we co-cultured NSCs with VECs in order to imitate the situation in vivo, in which NSCs are associated with the endothelium, and treated the single-cultured NSCs and the co-cultured NSCs with safrole oxide. The results showed that safrole oxide (10-100 microg/mL) had no effects on NSC growth. Based on these results, we treated the co-culture system with this small molecule. The results showed that the NSCs differentiation, into neurons and gliacytes was induced by VECs untreated with safrole oxide. But in the co-culture system treated with safrole oxide, the NSCs underwent apoptosis. The data suggested that when VEC apoptosis occurred in the co-culture system, the NSC survival and differentiation could not be maintained, and NSCs died by apoptosis. Our finding provided a useful tool for investigating the effect of apoptosis in vascular endothelial cells on neural stem cell survival and differentiation in vitro.

Differentiation of Rabbit Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Endothelial Cells In Vitro and Promotion of Defective Bone Regeneration In Vivo

Tissue engineering strategies often fail to regenerate bones because of inadequate vascularization, especially in the reconstruction of large segmental bone defects. Large volumes of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) that functionally interact with osteoblasts during osteogenesis are difficult to obtain. In this study, we simulated bone healing by co-culturing differentiated ECs and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) either on a culture plate or on a polylactide glycolic acid (PLGA) scaffold in vitro. We also evaluated the effect of osteogenesis in repairing rabbit mandible defects in vivo. In this study, MSCs were separated from rabbit as the seed cells. After passage, the MSCs were cultured in an EC-conditioned medium to differentiate into ECs. Immunohistochemical staining analysis with CD34 showed that the induced cells had the characteristics of ECs and MSC. The induced ECs were co-cultured in vitro, and the induction of MSCs to osteoblast served as the control. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red (AZR) staining experiments were performed, and the Coomassie brilliant blue total protein and ALP activity were measured. The MSCs proliferated and differentiated into osteoblast-like cells through direct contact between the derived ECs and MSCs. The co-cultured cells were seeded on PLGA scaffold to repair 1 cm mandible defects in the rabbit. The effectiveness of the repairs was assessed through soft X-ray and histological analyses. The main findings indicated that MSCs survived well on the scaffold and that the scaffold is biocompatible and noncytotoxic. The results demonstrated that the co-cultured MSC-derived ECs improved MSC osteogenesis and promoted new bone formation. This study may serve as a basis for the use of in vitro co-culturing techniques as an improvisation to bone tissue engineering for the repair of large bone defects.     

Co-culture with cardiomyocytes enhanced the myogenic conversion of mesenchymal stromal cells in a dose-dependent manner

To increase the accessibility of myogenic cells for cell therapy in the infarcted heart, we identified conditions to improve the reproducible conversion of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) into myogenic cells. Such cells may permit functional regeneration following a myocardial infarction. BMSCs derived from green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic rats were co-cultured with neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (1:1, 1:10, 1:20, and 1:40 ratios) for 7 days. Some BMSCs contracted synchronously with the neonatal cardiomyocytes, and exhibited action potentials that were confirmed with current clamp recordings. The myogenic phenotype of the BMSCs was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining and flow cytometry (antibodies against cardiac specific α-sarcomeric actinin, Troponin I, MEF-2C). An increase in the number of BMSCs expressing cardiac markers correlated with increasing numbers of neonatal cardiomyocytes in the culture. When BMSCs were co-cultured with DiI-labeled neonatal cardiomyocytes, a small percentage of GFP/DiI/Troponin I triple-positive cells were observed after 7 days. This type of myogenic conversion increased nearly twofold when BMSCs were co-cultured with apoptotic (TNF-α-treated) cardiomyocytes. BMSCs co-cultured with cardiomyocytes acquired a functional myogenic phenotype in a dose-dependent manner. Myogenic conversion increased when the BMSCs were cultured with apoptotic cells.     

Functional and structural interactions between osteoblastic and preosteoclastic cells in vitro

Osteoblasts are involved in the bone resorption process by regulating osteoclast maturation and activity. In order to elucidate the mechanisms underlying osteoblast/preosteoclast cell interactions, we developed an in vitro model of co-cultured human clonal cell lines of osteoclast precursors (FLG 29.1) and osteoblastic cells (Saos-2), and evaluated the migratory, adhesive, cytochemical, morphological, and biochemical properties of the co-cultured cells. In Boyden chemotactic chambers, FLG 29.1 cells exhibited a marked migratory response toward the Saos-2 cells. Moreover, they preferentially adhered to the osteoblastic monolayer. Direct co-culture of the two cell types induced: (1) positive staining for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in FLG 29.1 cells; (2) a decrease of the alkaline phosphatase activity expressed by Saos-2 cells; (3) the appearance of typical ultrastructural features of mature osteoclasts in FLG 29.1 cells; (4) the release into the culture medium of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor. The addition of parathyroid hormone to the co-culture further potentiated the differentiation of the preosteoclasts, the cells tending to fuse into large multinucleated elements. These in vitro interactions between osteoblasts and osteoclast precursors offer a new model for studying the mechanisms that control osteoclastogenesis in bone tissue.
