موجز عن البحث:

Since the 1980s, titanium (Ti) implants have been routinely used
to replace missing teeth. This success is mainly due to the good
biocompatibility of Ti and the phenomenon of osseointegration, with very
early events at implant placement being important in determining good osseointegration.
However, enhancing implant performance with coatings such as hydroxyapatite
(HA) and calcium phosphate has proved largely unsuccessful. Human mesenchymal
stem cells (hMSCs) are the first osteogenic cells to colonise implant
surfaces and offer a target for enhancing osseointegration. We previously
reported that small doses of bisphosphonate (BP) may play an integral role in
enhancing hMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. The aim of this
study is to investigate whether small doses of bisphosphonates enhance
proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs on Ti surfaces, to
enhance bone osseointegration and to accelerate wound healing around the
implant surface. Our data suggests that treating cells with small doses of BP
(100 nM & 10 nM) induces significant hMSC stimulation of
osteogenic markers including calcium, collagen type I and ALP compared to
control group on titanium surfaces (P < 0.05). In addition, cell
proliferation and migration were significantly enhanced on titanium surfaces
(P < 0.05).

Stem Cell Behaviour Following a Single Dose of
Bisphosphonate Treatment”

ملخص المشاركة:

Background:

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are analogues of
pyrophosphate. They have been used to treat bone diseases characterized by
excessive bone resorption such as osteoporosis and malignant bone diseases.
It is well known that bisphosphonates inhibit bone resorption by interfering
with osteoclasts activity (1). We have previously shown that a small dose of
BPs may enhance hMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation(2). In
this study we have investigated the long-term effect of a single low dose of
BPs on hMSCs proliferative and osteogenic behaviour.

Methods:

In this study we investigated the single
dose effect of two types BPs (alendronate and pamidronate) on hMSCs behavior.
hMSCs were plated at a density of 5 × 105 cells/75cm2 flasks containing MSC
growth media with 10% FCS, 2 mmol L-glutamine and 100U/ml each of
penicillin/streptomycin and incubated at 37ºC in humidified 5% CO2. The
following day the medium was changed with growth media containing two
concentrations of BPs 100nM and 10nM and incubated for 24h. The cells were
then washed and trypsinized and sub-cultured again in medium without BPs and
incubated for the desired time of the experiment. We assayed for cell
proliferation using alamar blue assay and for the osteogenic differentiation
using Von Kossa staining assay and calcium assay over a 2 weeks.

Results:

The data suggests that treating cells with
a low single dose of drugs (100nM & 10nM) can change the cell behaviour
and significantly up regulate hMSCs osteogenic differentiation and
proliferation.

In vitro Small Dose Effect of
Bisphosphonates on hMSCs osteogenic response to Titanium surface

ملخص المشاركة:

Introduction:

In the last decades, titanium implant has
been successfully used to replace the missing teeth. This success is mainly
depending on their osseointegration; coating dental implant with deferent
types of bone induced material has showed a positive effect. These materials
include, bone stimulating factors, hydroxyapatite (HA) and calcium phosphate,
and titanium/titanium nitride. However, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs)
shows regenerative properties and able to differentiate to different types of
human cells such as osteoblasts. We previously reported that small dose of
bisphosphonate may play an integral role of enhancing hMSCs proliferation and
osteogenic differentiation. The aim of this study is to investigate wither
the small dose of bisphosphonates may induce proliferation and osteogenic
differentiation of hMSCs on Ti surface. 
This will enhance bone quality around the implant. Also, to achieve a
better osseointegration and to accelerate wound healing around the implant
surface.

Materials & Methods:

In this study we investigated the small
dose effect of two types of BPs (alendronate and pamidronate) on hMSCs
osteogenic response to Ti surface. hMSCs were plated at a density of 1 × 104
cells/well in 1.9-cm2 wells containing MSC growth media with 10% FCS, 2 mmol
L-glutamine and 100U/ml each of penicillin/streptomycin and incubated at 37ºC
in humidified 5% CO2. Next day medium were changed with osteogenic media or
growth media containing two different concentrations (100nM & 10nM) of
the drugs. We assayed for cell proliferation using alamar blue assay and for
the cells mineralisation using calcium assay and alkaline phosphates (ALP)
activity. The total ECM collagen formed by cells was measured using sirocel
collagen assay kit (biocolor®) according to the manufacture’s instruction.

Results:

The data suggests that treating cells with
small dose (100nM & 10nM) of the drugs induce a significant stimulation
of hMSCs osteogenic differentiation and cell proliferation on smooth titanium
surface.

Discussion:

These experiments show that lower
concentration of drugs may play an integral role of enhancing hMSCs
osteogenic differentiation on titanium surface. This is due to a
bisphosphonate may have a direct stimuli on osteoblasts mineralisation or
bisphosphonate may enhance the wettability of titanium surface.

Single Low dose Bisphosphonate Treatment has Long
Term Effects on, and Enhances Osteogenesis in hMSCs

ملخص المشاركة:

Background:

Bisphosphonates
(BPs) are analogues of pyrophosphate. They have been used to treat bone
diseases characterized by excessive bone resorption such as osteoporosis and
malignant bone diseases. It is well known that bisphosphonates inhibit bone
resorption by interfering with osteoclasts activity.  In this study we have investigated the
extended effect of a single low dose of BPs on hMSCs proliferative and
osteogenic behaviour.

Methods:

In
this study the effects of a single low dose of two types BPs (alendronate and
pamidronate) on hMSCs behavior were investigated. hMSCs were plated at a
density of 5 × 105 cells/75cm2 flasks containing MSC growth media with 10%
FCS, 2 mmol L-glutamine and 100U/ml each of penicillin/streptomycin and
incubated at 37ºC in humidified 5% CO2, after 24h the medium was changed with
growth media containing BPs at either 100nM and 10nM and incubated for
further 24h. Then, cells were then washed and trypsinized and sub-cultured
again without further exposure to BPs. The cell cultures were assayed for
proliferation and osteogenic differentiation using alamar blue, Von Kossa and
calcium assays.

Results:

The
data suggests that treating cells with a single low dose of drugs (100nM
& 10nM) permanently changes the osteogenic behaviour of the hMSCs even
after passaging the cells. 

Conclusions:

The
enhancement of osteogenesis might point to the use of low dose BPs as an
adjunct to implant placement in patients. The permanent nature of the changes
suggests a possible epigenetic mechanism operating.
