Light and electron microscopy were employed to study the histogenesis of the skeletogenous tissue during stable distraction osteosynthesis according to G. A. Ilizarov. Osteosynthesis proceeded on the basis of the invariably existing fibrillar connective tissue growth plate situated in the medium part of the distraction regenerate. Osteogenesis was continuously accompanied by angiogenesis. Preservation of the connective tissue plate is accounted for by the stimulating influence of distraction on fibrillogenesis. The authors suggest the common character of the histogenesis of the vascular and bone tissues in the connective tissue blastema of the interfragmental distraction regenerate.  相似文献

Polymeric system for dual growth factor delivery.   总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32  
The development of tissues and organs is typically driven by the action of a number of growth factors. However, efforts to regenerate tissues (e.g., bone, blood vessels) typically rely on the delivery of single factors, and this may partially explain the limited clinical utility of many current approaches. One constraint on delivering appropriate combinations of factors is a lack of delivery vehicles that allow for a localized and controlled delivery of more than a single factor. We report a new polymeric system that allows for the tissue-specific delivery of two or more growth factors, with controlled dose and rate of delivery. The utility of this system was investigated in the context of therapeutic angiogenesis. We now demonstrate that dual delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-165 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB, each with distinct kinetics, from a single, structural polymer scaffold results in the rapid formation of a mature vascular network. This is the first report of a vehicle capable of delivery of multiple angiogenic factors with distinct kinetics, and these results clearly indicate the importance of multiple growth factor action in tissue regeneration and engineering.  相似文献

The ability of animals to repair tissue damage is widespread and impressive. Among tissues, the repair and remodeling of bone occurs during growth and in response to injury; however, loss of bone above a threshold amount is not regenerated, resulting in a “critical-size defect” (CSD). The development of therapies to replace or regenerate a CSD is a major focus of research in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Adult urodeles (salamanders) are unique in their ability to regenerate complex tissues perfectly, yet like mammals do not regenerate a CSD. We report on an experimental model for the regeneration of a CSD in the axolotl (the Excisional Regeneration Model) that allows for the identification of signals to induce fibroblast dedifferentiation and skeletal regeneration. This regenerative response is mediated in part by BMP signaling, as is the case in mammals; however, a complete regenerative response requires the induction of a population of undifferentiated, regeneration-competent cells. These cells can be induced by signaling from limb amputation to generate blastema cells that can be grafted to the wound, as well as by signaling from a nerve and a wound epithelium to induce blastema cells from fibroblasts within the wound environment.  相似文献

A paradigm shift is taking place in orthopaedic and reconstructive surgery from using medical devices and tissue grafts to a tissue engineering approach that uses biodegradable scaffolds combined with cells or biological molecules to repair and/or regenerate tissues. One of the potential benefits offered by solid free-form fabrication technology (SFF) is the ability to create scaffolds with highly reproducible architecture and compositional variation across the entire scaffold, due to its tightly controlled computer-driven fabrication. In this review, we define scaffold properties and attempt to provide some broad criteria and constraints for scaffold design in bone engineering.We also discuss the application-specific modifications driven by surgeon's requirements in vitro and/or in vivo. Next, we review the current use of SFF techniques in scaffold fabrication in the context of their clinical use in bone regeneration. Lastly, we comment on future developments in our groups, such as the functionalization of novel composite scaffolds with combinations of growth factors; and more specifically the promising area of heparan sulphate polysaccharide immobilization within the bone tissue engineering arena.  相似文献

We examined the role of angiogenesis and the need for receptor signaling using chemical inhibition of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor in the adult zebrafish tail fin. Using a small-molecule inhibitor, we were able to exert precise control over blood vessel regeneration. An angiogenic limit to tissue regeneration was determined, as avascular tissue containing skin, pigment, neuronal axons and bone precursors could regenerate up to about 1 mm. This indicates that tissues can regenerate without direct interaction with endothelial cells and at a distance from blood supply. We also investigated whether the effects of chemical inhibition could be enhanced in zebrafish vascular mutants. We found that adult zebrafish, heterozygous for a mutation in the critical receptor effector phospholipase Cgamma1, show a greater sensitivity to chemical inhibition. This study illustrates the utility of the adult zebrafish as a new model system for receptor signaling and chemical biology.  相似文献

Regenerating human tooth ex vivo and biological repair of dental caries are hampered by non-viable odontogenic stem cells that can regenerate different tooth components. Odontoma is a developmental dental anomaly that may contain putative post-natal stem cells with the ability to differentiate and regenerate in vivo new dental structures that may include enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissues. We evaluated odontoma tissues from 14 patients and further isolated and characterized human odontoma-derived mesenchymal cells (HODCs) with neural stem cell and hard tissue regenerative properties from a group of complex odontoma tissues from 1 of 14 patients. Complex odontoma was more common (9 of 14) than compound type and females (9 of 14) were more affected than males in our set of patients. HODCs were highly proliferative like dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) but demonstrated stronger neural immunophenotype than both DPSCs and mandible bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) by expressing higher levels of nestin, Sox 2 and βIII-tubulin. When transplanted with hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate into immunocompromised mice, HODCs differentiated and regenerated calcified hard tissues in vivo that were morphologically and quantitatively comparable to those generated by DPSCs and BMSCs. When transplanted with polycaprolactone (biodegradable carrier), HODCs differentiated to form new predentin on the surface of a dentin platform. Newly formed predentin contained numerous distinct dentinal tubules and an apparent dentin–pulp arrangement. HODCs represent unique odontogenic progenitors that readily commit to formation of dental hard tissues.  相似文献

There is significant potential for the use of adult mesenchymal stem cells in regenerating musckuloskeletal tissues. The sources of these stem cells discussed in this review are bone marrow, blood, adipose tissue, synovium, periosteum & cartilage. Adult mesenchymal stem cells of bone marrow origin are the cells which are heavily investigated in many studies and have been shown capable of producing a variety of connective tissues especially cartilage and bone. It has recently been suggested that bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells originate from microvascular pericytes, and, indeed, many of the tissues from which stem cells have been isolated have good vascularisation and they may give a varied source of cells for future treatments. Clinical trials have shown that these cells are able to be successfully used to regenerate tissues with good clinical outcome. Other sources are showing promise, however, is yet to be brought to the clinical level in humans.  相似文献

Mesenchymal stem sells (MSCs) are present in a variety of tissues during human development, and in adults they are prevalent in bone marrow. From that readily available source, MSCs can be isolated, expanded in culture, and stimulated to differentiate into bone, cartilage, muscle, marrow stroma, tendon, fat and a variety of other connective tissues. Because large numbers of MSCs can be generated in culture, tissue-engineered constructs principally composed of these cells could be re-introduced into the in vivo setting. This approach is now being explored to regenerate tissues that the body cannot naturally repair or regenerate when challenged. Moreover, MSCs can be transduced with retroviral and other vectors and are, thus, potential candidates to deliver somatic gene therapies for local or systemic pathologies. Untapped applications include both diagnostic and prognostic uses of MSCs and their descendents in healthcare management. Finally, by understanding the complex, multistep and multifactorial differentiation pathway from MSC to functional tissues, it might be possible to manipulate MSCs directly in vivo to cue the formation of elaborate, composite tissues in situ.  相似文献

Transverse amputations were carried out through one-third fully regenerated jaw segments and through normal tissue of the mandible on the same and opposite sides of the jaw in adults of Notophthalmus viridescens. Collectively the results suggest that, in adult urodeles, the mandible and the dental lamina can be replaced in an identical manner more than one time. Although the major histological events are the same in jaw regeneration and re-regeneration, regrowth is more rapid in re-regeneration. Extensively dedif-ferentiating muscle fibers and skeletal elements contribute to a rapidly forming blastema in re-regeneration. It appears that recently differentiated tissues of the regenerate have a higher capacity for regeneration than normal tissues amputated for the first time. Re-regeneration of the jaw occurs by growth of the original regenerate cartilage which has undergone reorganization. In re-regeneration, the skeletal elements exhibit no polarity and regrowth occurs in both directions, while the dental lamina possesses an anterior-posterior polarity and can regrow in an anterior direction only. Information concerning the mechanisms involved in the regenerative events remain to be determined.  相似文献

The participation of skeletal tissue cell precursors in the repairing regeneration of bone tissue was studied. Bone marrow was taken from donor animals--mice of C57Bl/6-TgN(ACTbGFP) 1 Osb line (The Jackson Laboratory Bar Harbor ME USA line). Nucleated cell fraction was isolated by centrifugation on a density percoll gradient. Recipient mice C57Bl/6 line were irradiated by 7.0-7.5 Gr dose. Intravenous infusion of donor cells and osteoclasts of tibia was done after irradiation of recipient mice. Histological preparations of bone regenerate tissues were studied on 15, 30, and 60 days by confocal microscopy. Donor cells were found as skeletal tissue precursors into periost, endost, bone marrow, and as differentiated cells of newborn tissue of regenerate--osteoblasts, osteocytes, chondrocytes. The data obtained indicate that part of donor bone marrow cells are able to progressive differentiation under recipient bone fractures.  相似文献

Some progress has been made in development of methods to regenerate bone from cultured cells, however no method is put to practical use. Here, we developed methods to isolate, purify, and expand mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from mouse compact bone that may be used to regenerate bone in vivo. These cells were maintained in long-term culture and were capable of differentiating along multiple lineages, including chondrocyte, osteocyte, and adipocyte trajectories. We used standard cell isolation and culture methods to establish cell cultures from mouse compact bone and bone marrow. Cultures were grown in four distinct media to determine the optimal composition of culture medium for bone-derived MSCs. Putative MSCs were subjected to flow cytometry, alkaline phosphatase assays, immunohistochemical staining, and several differentiation assays to assess cell identity, protein expression, and developmental potential. Finally, we used an in vivo bone formation assay to determine whether putative MSCs were capable of regenerating bone. We found that compact bone of mice was a better source of MCSs than the bone marrow, that growth in plastic flasks served to purify MSCs from hematopoietic cells, and that MSCs grown in basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-conditioned medium were, based on multiple criteria, superior to those grown in leukemia inhibitory factor-conditioned medium. Moreover, we found that the MSCs isolated from compact bone and grown in bFGF-conditioned medium were capable of supporting bone formation in vivo. The methods and results described here have implications for understanding MSC biology and for clinical purpose.  相似文献

Chemotherapy-induced bone growth arrest and osteoporosis are significant problems in paediatric cancer patients, and yet how chemotherapy affects bone growth remains unclear. This study characterised development and resolution of damage caused by acute chemotherapy with antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in young rats in the growth plate cartilage and metaphyseal bone, two important tissues responsible for bone lengthening. In metaphysis, 5-FU induced apoptosis among osteoblasts and preosteoblasts on days 1-2. In growth plate, chondrocyte apoptosis appeared on days 5-10. Interestingly, Bax was induced prior to apoptosis and Bcl-2 was upregulated during recovery. 5-FU also suppressed cell proliferation on days 1-2. While proliferation returned to normal by day 3 in metaphysis, it recovered partially on day 3, overshot on days 5-7 and normalised by day 10 in growth plate. Histologically, growth plate heights decreased by days 4-5 and returned normal by day 10. In metaphysis, primary spongiosa height was also reduced, mirroring changes in growth plate thickness. In metaphyseal secondary spongiosa, a reduced bone volume was observed on days 7-10 as there were fewer but more separated trabeculae. Starting from day 4, expression of some cartilage/bone matrix proteins and growth factors (TGF-beta1 and IGF-I) was increased. By day 14, cellular activity, histological structure and gene expression had returned normal in both tissues. Therefore, 5-FU chemotherapy affects bone growth directly by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation at growth plate cartilage and metaphyseal bone; after the acute damage, bone growth mechanism can recover, which is associated with upregulated expression of matrix proteins and growth factors.  相似文献

Hormones are known to influence bone metabolism and cellular mechanisms of fracture healing. Recent technologies in molecular biology offer recombinant production of hormones, which makes them applicable for pharmacological use. To investigate the effect of systemic growth hormone (GH) application experiments were performed in micropig animal models. Systemic daily subcutaneous injection of species-specific recombinant GH was investigated in Yucatan micropigs to evaluate the effect on secondary fracture healing in a standardized gap model (1 cm) and on intramembranous bone formation in distraction osteogenesis (DO). Quantitative computed tomography (qCT), biomechanical testing, measurement of systemic insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels as well as histomorphometric analyses were performed to investigate differences in regenerate formation. Systemic GH administration significantly increased the torsional stability of the regenerate in comparison to the contralateral side in both experiments. qCT showed accelerated fracture bridging in the GH-treated animals in bone defect healing, while in DO histomorphometry elicited larger callus areas in the case of GH application. Systemic IGF-1 levels were significantly increased in both GH-treated groups. These experiments show that the systemic administration of recombinant GH accelerates fracture healing in standardized animal models. Clinical studies have now been initiated in order to prove the safety and the effectiveness of this therapeutical option.  相似文献

The present study was performed (1) to explore the mechanism of skeletal healing following distraction osteogenesis of the mandible and to evaluate whether the same process is involved following acute mandibular resection and rigid external fixation, and (2) to examine the role of the periosteum in skeletal healing in both models. The study was performed using 16 mongrel dogs divided into two equal groups. In the first group, distraction of 20 mm was performed at a rate of 1 mm/day. In the second group, bone resection of 20 mm was performed, followed by rigid external fixation. The buccal periosteum was stripped in four dogs from each group, and the periosteum was left intact in the remaining four dogs. Dogs were euthanized after a survival period of either 2 or 3 months, and the new bone regenerate was evaluated. Analysis consisted of three-dimensional computed tomography scanning, histometric analysis, and immunostaining. Analysis of bone mineral content in the residual gap was conducted. Bone mineral content was increased in 3- versus 2-month survival for all groups (p < 0.05). The distracted groups had greater bone mineral content than their acutely resected counterparts, with the difference achieving statistical significance by 3-month survival (p < 0.05). Although periosteal preservation resulted in increased bone mineral content over time for all groups (p = 0.044), periosteal preservation had no significant effect on bone mineral content in the distracted groups. After periosteal stripping, however, bone mineral content was significantly increased in dogs that underwent distraction rather than acute resection and rigid external fixation (p = 0.022). Regarding histometric analysis, analysis of fibrous tissue content in the bone regenerate demonstrated that by 3 months the distracted groups had significantly less fibrous tissue in the new bone regenerate than did the acutely resected groups (p < 0.001). Regarding immunostaining, diffuse localization of transforming growth factor-beta1 was observed in all groups at 2 months, returning to nearly baseline levels by 3 months. These data demonstrate that significant bone formation in a segmental gap can be achieved after acute mandibular resection and rigid external fixation if the periosteum is preserved. However, after periosteal injury or stripping, significant bone formation can only be achieved by distraction osteogenesis. In both processes, bone formation is preceded by up-regulation of transforming growth factor-beta1.  相似文献

The urothelium is constantly rebuilt by normal urothelial cells to regenerate damaged tissues caused by stimuli in urine. However, the urothelial carcinoma cells expand the territory by aberrant growth of tumor cells, which migrate and occupy the damaged tissues to spread outside and disrupt the normal cells and organized tissues and form a tumor. Therefore, the interaction between normal urothelial cells and urothelial carcinoma cells affect the initiation and progression of urothelial tumors if normal urothelial cells fail to migrate and adhere to the damages sites to regenerate the tissues. Here, comparing normal murine urothelial cells with murine urothelial carcinoma cells (MBT-2), we found that normal cells had less migration ability than carcinoma cells. And in our co-culture system we found that carcinoma cells had propensity migrating toward normal urothelial cells and carcinoma cells had more advantages to adhere than normal cells. To reverse this condition, we used anabolic androgen, dihyrotestosterone (DHT) to treat normal cells and found that DHT treatment increased the migration ability of normal urothelial cells toward carcinoma cells and the adhesion capacity in competition with carcinoma cells. This study provides the base of a novel therapeutic approach by using anabolic hormone-enforced normal urothelial cells to regenerate the damage urothelium and defend against the occupancy of carcinoma cells to thwart cancer development and recurrence.  相似文献

Tissue damages or loss of organs often result in structural and metabolic changes that can cause serious complications. The therapeutic objective of tissue engineering (TE) is to recreate, regenerate or restore function of damaged tissue. TE is based on the coalescence of three components: a scaffold or matrix from natural or synthetic origin biodegradable or not, reparative cells and signals (hypoxia, mechanical stress, morphogens…). Articular cartilage, bone and blood vessels are tissues for which TE has progressed significantly, from basic research to clinical trials. If biomaterials must exhibit different properties depending on the tissue to regenerate, the cellular component of TE is mostly represented by stem cells notably adult mesenchymal stem cells harvested from bone marrow or adipose tissue. In recent years, progress has been made in our understanding of the biological mechanisms that govern stem cell differentiation and in the development of materials with controlled physicochemical and biological properties. However, many technological barriers and regulations concerns have to be overcome before tissue engineering enters into the therapeutic arsenal of regenerative medicine. This review aims at highlighting the progress in the use of stem cells for engineering osteoarticular and vascular tissues.  相似文献

Cells from the gingival lamina propria, bone-derived granular tissues and periodontal ligament (PDL) were isolated after periodontal surgery and subsequently cultured in vitro. The resulting cells were defined as gingival cells, bone cells and PDL cells, respectively. Under a phase contrast microscope, the cultured cells exhibited a spindle and/or a polyhedral shape. On the basis of their appearance under an electron microscope, spindle-shaped cells and polyhedral-shaped cells were identified as fibroblasts and osteoblasts, respectively. Bone cells, a homogeneous population of osteoblasts, had a more rapid growth ability than PDL cells, which were a heterogeneous population of fibroblasts and osteoblasts. Of particular interest was that only bone cells produced bone matrix in the multilayers in vitro. These results support the hypothesis that the phenotype expressed by cells from the alveolar bone establishes a new concept for progenitor cells in the formation of cementum.  相似文献

Bone and cartilage consist of different organic matrices, which can both be mineralized by the deposition of nano-sized calcium phosphate particles. We have studied these mineral particles in the mineralized cartilage layer between bone and different types of cartilage (bone/articular cartilage, bone/intervertebral disk, and bone/growth cartilage) of individuals aged 54 years, 12 years, and 6 months. Quantitative backscattered electron imaging and scanning small-angle X-ray scattering at a synchrotron radiation source were combined with light microscopy to determine calcium content, mineral particle size and alignment, and collagen orientation, respectively. Mineralized cartilage revealed a higher calcium content than the adjacent bone (p<0.05 for all samples), whereas the highest values were found in growth cartilage. Surprisingly, we found the mineral platelet width similar for bone and mineralized cartilage, with the exception of the growth cartilage sample. The most striking result, however, was the abrupt change of mineral particle orientation at the interface between the two tissues. While the particles were aligned perpendicular to the interface in cartilage, they were oriented parallel to it in bone, reflecting the morphology of the underlying organic matrices. The tight bonding of mineralized cartilage to bone suggests a mechanical role for the interface of the two elastically different tissues, bone and cartilage.  相似文献

The salamander limb regenerate develops from a mesenchymatousbud of cells called the blastema. This review briefly considersthe local origin and major features of blastemal cells and thendiscusses their role in the histogenesis of the regenerate.The capacity of blastemal cells to form the various cell typesof the regenerate is first considered in general terms, withthe discussion focusing on three major alternatives: blastemalcells form (a) cartilage only, (b) connective tissues only,or (c) essentially all internal tissues of the regenerate. Thedifferentiative properties of blastemal cells originating fromknown cell types are then considered in detail. Cartilage isof particular interest in this regard, because it has been utilizedas a pure cell type. Results from the study of mixed tissues,including muscle and connective tissue of the fin, are alsopresented. Information gained from the study of known cell typesparticipating in regeneration is discussed in terms of the mechanismsresponsible for the stability of cellular differentiation andin terms of the flow of cells from stump tissues into the regenerate.  相似文献
