An Overview of the in vitro Osteoblast DifferentiationAssay Procedure5.1 Briefly, progenitor stem cells are seeded in monolayeron treated tissue cultu

The cells are cultured for upto 28 days in total with medium changes bi-weekly or everyother day. Cells will undergo apoptosis during in vitro miner-alization (4)

24、.5.2 To assess the extent of differentiation of the progenitorcells after the osteoblast differentiation assay, the calciumdeposits can be quantified using the non-destructive fluorescentimage analysis as described in Practice F2997 or terminatedand measured directly by conducting a total calcium co

25、ntentanalysis using one of the many commercial colorimetric kitsavailable for this purpose. Calcium deposition alone shouldnever be used as a measurement of osteogeneic potential.5.3 Quantifying the expression of osteogenic genes orproteins is another important measurement to use in conjunc-tion wit

29、 between species, with human cells typically moreresistant to differentiation, while rodent are more reproducible.Outcomes also differ between human and rodent cells, withrodent cells more likely to form discrete calcified nodulesparticularly when harvested from neonatal tissues by enzy-matic digest

30、ion.6.2 Media for Osteoblast Differentiation Assays:6.2.1 Proliferation Phase Cell Culture MediumDulbeccos Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), including lowglucose DMEM, or DMEM F-12 supplemented with 10% FetalBovine Serum (FBS) is commonly used for the proliferation orexpansion phase of the osteoblast di

31、fferentiation assay. Somecells may have been propagated or expanded in alpha-MEMand should therefore remain in that medium for the prolifera-tion phase, even although it contains ascorbate which canpromote osteoblast differentiation.6.2.2 Differentiation Phase Cell Culture MediumFor os-teogenic diff

32、erentiation cultures, -MEM is commonly usedduring the differentiation phase, although, as mentioned, it canbe used for proliferation as well. Low glucose DMEM withadditional osteogenic supplements has also been used forhuman mesenchymal stem cell osteogenic differentiation.6.3 Fetal Bovine Serum (FB

33、S):6.3.1 Fetal bovine serum (FBS), previously called fetal calfserum (FCS), is typically used at 10% of the medium volumeduring osteoblast differentiation assays in both the proliferationmedium and the differentiation medium. Serum compositionvaries by lot and as such it is important to screen vario

34、us lotsto ensure osteogenic potential. Some lots of FBS are moreefficient at promoting cell proliferation while others are betterfor promoting mineralization; thus, sera suitable for differen-tiation may not be the same as sera suitable for proliferation.Several companies offer serum qualified for h

35、uman mesenchy-mal stem cells to support either their proliferation or differen-tiation. This testing can also be performed “in house” wherebyserum batches can be compared to current stocks. Any serumtesting should include information about the cell type used forscreening, and serum source and lot nu

36、mber. Use of a standardcell line could be incorporated to compare results across serumlots. Heat inactivation of the serum is not necessary before usein an osteoblast differentiation assay, but may be required whengrowth factor supplements are being tested in this assay inorder to avoid a high backg

37、round.6.4 Osteogenic Supplements:F3106 1426.4.1 Ascorbic AcidIn osteogenic cell cultures, ascorbicacid is necessary to promote extracellular matrix proteinproduction. It has been shown to act as a co-factor in thehydroxylation of proline and lysine residues in collagen (5).There are two forms of thi

38、s supplement that are typically usedin the differentiation medium. The first is ascorbic acid whichis typically used at a concentration of 50 g/mL. Due to its fastdegradation, it is necessary to add this supplement to thecultures daily. The other form of ascorbic acid is the morestable ascorbic acid

39、-2-phosphate (AA2P) which is added to theculture media typically at a final concentration of 50 M (6).Ifthis form is chosen, daily addition is not necessary and can bereplenished at the same time as media change (every 2-4 days).A range of AA2P can be used; however, when used at 500 M,there may be c

40、ellular damage that reduces proliferation ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells (7). AA2P at 1 mM or highercauses cell death of human mesenchymal stem cells (6).6.4.2 Beta-glycerolphosphate-glycerolphosphate (-GP)is a phosphate source required for in vitro mineral depositionand is added to the differentiat

41、ion medium at a range of 2-10mM during osteoblast differentiation assays. There are con-cerns that high concentrations of -GP, such as 10 mM orhigher, lead to dystrophic mineralization because of the abilityof alkaline phosphatase produced by osteogenic cells to cleavephosphate groups from -GP and c

42、ause calcium phosphatedeposits not deposited directly by a mature osteoblast (8). Thisconfounds the accuracy of calcium measurements to assessosteoblast differentiation status. To avoid dystrophic or non-osteoblast mediated mineralization concentrations of 2.5-4 mMare recommended for this supplement

43、. Dystrophic calciumphosphate deposition within the cultures appears to promoteosteogenic differentiation of the cells and thus 10 mM -GPcontinues to be commonly used. When -GP is used at 10 mM,calcium content measurements alone may not adequate todistinguish if osteogenic differentiation has occurr

44、ed.6.4.3 DexamethasoneDexamethasone is a glucocorticoidwhich can act in both a stimulatory and inhibitory manner onosteogenic differentiation depending on dose, duration, stage ofcell differentiation, and species of responding cell (6). Gluco-corticoids have been shown to be involved in the boneform

45、ation/remodeling axis (9). Some studies have providedevidence for the necessity of dexamethasone in in vitro mineralformation, particularly in rat marrow-stromal derived cells(10), and human mesenchymal stem cells (6). In general,dexamethasone is used at a concentration range from 1-100nM. 100 nM ca

46、n be used during the first three weeks, but ifused longer inhibits mineralization, therefore 10 nM dexam-ethasone is preferred throughout the culture time period (11).The use of dexamethasone with human cells is a matter ofdebate with regards to osteocalcin expression, which has beenshown to decreas

47、e in osteoblastic cells after dexamethasoneexposure (12).6.4.4 Vitamin D31,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (vD3) isknown to accentuate osteoblast gene expression when added tothe differentiation media if cells have already begun to differ-entiate to the pre-osteoblast phase (13) in particular osteocal-cin. I

48、t may be added to later stage cultures, for example after2 weeks, at a dose of 10 nM. It will also stimulate mineraldeposition.6.4.5 Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2)BMP-2may be used to stimulate in vitro osteogenic differentiation ofMSCs when the combination of ascorbic acid, -GP, anddexamethaso

49、me are not sufficient (14).6.4.6 Non-Essential Amino Acids and GlutamineNon-essential amino acids (NEAA) and L-glutamine are twosupplements commonly used in proliferation medium to sup-port progenitor cell expansion. They are not known to influ-ence osteoblast mineralization.6.4.7 Antibiotics or FungicidesThe addition of antibioticsor fungicides to prevent bacterial and fungi growth does notaffect the mineralization or osteogenic potential of cultures.The mostly commonly used antibiotics are penicillin andstreptomycin.6.5 Seeding Density:6.5.1 Cell seeding den
