Do Media Extracellular Vesicles and Extracellular Vesicles Bound to the Extracellular Matrix Represent Distinct Types of Vesicles? Biomolecules 2023; 14:42. [PMID: 38254642 PMCID: PMC10813234 DOI: 10.3390/biom14010042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Mineralization-competent cells, including hypertrophic chondrocytes, mature osteoblasts, and osteogenic-differentiated smooth muscle cells secrete media extracellular vesicles (media vesicles) and extracellular vesicles bound to the extracellular matrix (matrix vesicles). Media vesicles are purified directly from the extracellular medium. On the other hand, matrix vesicles are purified after discarding the extracellular medium and subjecting the cells embedded in the extracellular matrix or bone or cartilage tissues to an enzymatic treatment. Several pieces of experimental evidence indicated that matrix vesicles and media vesicles isolated from the same types of mineralizing cells have distinct lipid and protein composition as well as functions. These findings support the view that matrix vesicles and media vesicles released by mineralizing cells have different functions in mineralized tissues due to their location, which is anchored to the extracellular matrix versus free-floating.

Biomimetic approaches in bone tissue engineering: Integrating biological and physicomechanical strategies. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2015; 84:1-29.

Abstract
The development of responsive biomaterials capable of demonstrating modulated function in response to dynamic physiological and mechanical changes in vivo remains an important challenge in bone tissue engineering. To achieve long-term repair and good clinical outcomes, biologically responsive approaches that focus on repair and reconstitution of tissue structure and function through drug release, receptor recognition, environmental responsiveness and tuned biodegradability are required. Traditional orthopedic materials lack biomimicry, and mismatches in tissue morphology, or chemical and mechanical properties ultimately accelerate device failure. Multiple stimuli have been proposed as principal contributors or mediators of cell activity and bone tissue formation, including physical (substrate topography, stiffness, shear stress and electrical forces) and biochemical factors (growth factors, genes or proteins). However, optimal solutions to bone regeneration remain elusive. This review will focus on biological and physicomechanical considerations currently being explored in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In the United States, over 17 million people are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) with its inherent morbidity of delayed bone healing and nonunion. Recent studies demonstrate the utility of pulsed low-intensity ultrasound (LIPUS) to facilitate fracture healing. The current study evaluated the effects of daily application of LIPUS on mid-diaphyseal femoral fracture growth factor expression, cartilage formation, and neovascularization in DM and non-DM BB Wistar rats. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and ELISA assays were used to measure and quantify growth factor expression. Histomorphometry assessed cartilage formation while immunohistochemical staining for PECAM evaluated neovascularization at the fracture site. In accordance with previous studies, LIPUS was shown to increase growth factor expression and cartilage formation. Our study also demonstrated an increase in fracture callus neovascularization with the addition of LIPUS. The DM group showed impaired growth factor expression, cartilage formation, and neovascularization. However, the addition of LIPUS significantly increased all parameters so that the DM group resembled that of the non-DM group. These findings suggest a potential role of LIPUS as an adjunct for DM fracture treatment.

Abstract
The cell response to an implant is regulated by the implant's surface properties including topography and chemistry, but less is known about how the mechanical properties affect cell behavior. The objective of this study was to evaluate how the surface stiffness and chemistry of acrylate-based copolymer networks affect the in vitro response of human MG63 pre-osteoblast cells. Networks comprised of poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA; Mn approximately 750) and diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (DEGDMA) were photopolymerized at different concentrations to produce three compositions with moduli ranging from 850 to 60 MPa. To further decouple chemistry and stiffness, three networks comprised of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2HEMA) and PEGDMA or DEGDMA were also designed that exhibited a range of moduli similar to the PEGDMA-DEGDMA networks. MG63 cells were cultured on each surface and tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS), and the effect of copolymer composition on cell number, osteogenic markers (alkaline phosphatase specific activity and osteocalcin), and local growth factor production (OPG, TGF-beta1, and VEGF-A) were assessed. Cells exhibited a more differentiated phenotype on the PEGDMA-DEGDMA copolymers compared to the 2HEMA-PEGDMA copolymers. On the PEGDMA-DEGDMA system, cells exhibited a more differentiated phenotype on the stiffest surface indicated by elevated osteocalcin compared with TCPS. Conversely, cells on 2HEMA-PEGDMA copolymers became more differentiated on the less stiff 2HEMA surface. Growth factors were regulated in a differential manner. These results indicate that copolymer chemistry is the primary regulator of osteoblast differentiation, and the effect of stiffness is secondary to the surface chemistry.

Abstract
Ion implantation, a common technology in semiconductor processing, has been applied to biomaterials since the 1960s. Using energetic ion bombardment, a general term which includes conventional ion implantation plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) and ion beam assisted thin film deposition, functionalization of surfaces is possible. By varying and adjusting the process parameters, several surface properties can be attuned simultaneously. Extensive research details improvements in the biocompatibility, mainly by reducing corrosion rates and increasing wear resistance after surface modification. Recently, enhanced bioactivity strongly correlated with the surface topography and less with the surface chemistry has been reported, with an increased roughness on the nanometer scale induced by self-organisation processes during ion bombardment leading to faster cellular adhesion processes.

Abstract
Small membrane-bound extracellular organelles known as articular cartilage matrix vesicles (ACVs) participate in pathologic mineralization in osteoarthritic articular cartilage. ACVs are also present in normal cartilage, although they have no known functions other than mineralization. Recently, RNA was identified in extracellular vesicles derived from mast cells, suggesting that such vesicles might carry coding information from cell to cell. We found that ACVs from normal porcine and human articular cartilage and primary chondrocyte conditioned media contained 1 microg RNA/80 microg ACV protein. No DNA could be detected. RT-PCR of ACV RNA demonstrated the presence of full length mRNAs for factor XIIIA, type II transglutaminase, collagen II, aggrecan, ANKH and GAPDH. RNA in intact ACVs was resistant to RNase, despite the fact that ACV preparations contained measurable levels of active RNases. Significantly, radiolabeled RNA in ACVs could be transferred to unlabeled chondrocytes by co-incubation and produced changes in levels of chondrocyte enzymes and proteins. The demonstration that ACVs contain mRNAs suggests that they may function to shuttle genetic information between articular cells and indicate novel functions for these structures in articular cartilage.

Mechanisms regulating increased production of osteoprotegerin by osteoblasts cultured on microstructured titanium surfaces. Biomaterials 2009; 30:3390-6.

Abstract
Osteoblasts grown on microstructured Ti surfaces enhance osteointegration by producing local factors that regulate bone formation as well as bone remodeling, including the RANK ligand decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG). The objective of this study was to explore the mechanism by which surface microstructure and surface energy mediate their stimulatory effects on OPG expression. Titanium disks were manufactured to present different surface morphologies: a smooth pretreatment surface (PT, Ra<0.2microm), microstructured sandblasted/acid etched surface (SLA, Ra=3-4microm), and a microstructured Ti plasma-sprayed surface (TPS, Ra=4microm). Human osteoblast-like MG63 cells were cultured on these substrates and the regulation of OPG production by TGF-beta1, PKC, and alpha2beta1 integrin signaling determined. Osteoblasts produced increased amounts of OPG as well as active and latent TGF-beta1 and had increased PKC activity when grown on SLA and TPS. Exogenous TGF-beta1 increased OPG production in a dose-dependent manner on all surfaces, and this was prevented by adding blocking antibody to the TGF-beta type II receptor or by reducing TGF-beta1 binding to the receptor by adding exogenous soluble type II receptor. The PKC inhibitor chelerythrine inhibited the production of OPG in a dose-dependent manner, but only in cultures on SLA and TPS. shRNA knockdown of alpha2 or a double knockdown of alpha2beta1 also reduced OPG, as well as production of TGF-beta1. These results indicate that substrate-dependent OPG production is regulated by TGF-beta1, PKC, and alpha2beta1 and suggest a mechanism by which alpha2beta1 signaling increases PKC, resulting in TGF-beta1 production and TGF-beta1 then acts on its receptor to increase transcription of OPG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Titanium implants that have been grit-blasted and acid-etched to produce a rough microtopography support more bone integration than do smooth-surfaced implants. In vitro studies have suggested that this is due to a stimulatory effect on osteoblasts. It is not known if grit-blasted and acid-etched Ti6Al4V implants also stimulate osteoblasts and increase bone formation clinically. In this study, we examined the effects of micrometer-scale-structured Ti6Al4V surfaces on cell responses in vitro and on tissue responses in vivo. METHODS Ti6Al4V disks were either machined to produce smooth surfaces with an average roughness (Ra) of 0.2 microm or grit-blasted, resulting in an Ra of 2.0, 3.0, or 3.3 microm. Human osteoblast-like cells were cultured on the disks and on tissue culture polystyrene. The cell number, markers of osteoblast differentiation, and levels of local factors in the conditioned media were determined at confluence. In addition, Ti6Al4V pedicle screws with smooth or rough surfaces were implanted into the L4 and L5 vertebrae of fifteen two-year-old sheep. Osteointegration was evaluated at twelve weeks with histomorphometry and on the basis of removal torque. RESULTS The cell numbers on the Ti6Al4V surfaces were lower than those on the tissue culture polystyrene; the effect was greatest on the roughest surface. The alkaline-phosphatase-specific activity of cell lysates was decreased in a surface-dependent manner, whereas osteocalcin, prostaglandin E(2), transforming growth factor-beta1, and osteoprotegerin levels were higher on the rough surfaces. Bone-implant contact was greater around the rough-surfaced Ti6Al4V screws, and the torque needed to remove the rough screws from the bone was more than twice that required to remove the smooth screws. CONCLUSIONS Increased micrometer-scale surface roughness increases osteoblast differentiation and local factor production in vitro, which may contribute to increased bone formation and osteointegration in vivo. There was a correlation between in vitro and in vivo observations, indicating that the use of screws with rough surfaces will result in better bone-implant contact and implant stability.

Abstract
Osteoblasts are exposed to fluid shear in vivo but the effects are not well understood, particularly how substrate properties or length of exposure modify the response. Short exposure (1 h) to shear reduces the stimulatory effect of micron-scale surface structure on osteoblast differentiation, but the effects of longer term exposures are not known. To test the hypothesis that substrate-dependent responses of osteoblasts to shear depend on the length of exposure to fluid flow, MG63 osteoblasts were grown on tissue culture glass, which has an average roughness (Ra) < 0.2 microm; machined Ti disks (PT, Ra < 0.6 microm); Ti disks with a complex microarchitecture [sand blasted acid etched (SLA), Ra = 4-5 microm); and Ti plasma-sprayed surfaces [Ti via plasma spray (TPS), Ra = 7 microm]. Confluent cultures were exposed to pulsatile flow at shear forces of 0, 1, and 14 dynes/cm(2) for 0, 6, 12, and 24 h. Shear reduced cell number on all surfaces, with greatest effects on TPS. Shear had no effect on alkaline phosphatase on smooth surfaces but increased enzyme activity on SLA and TPS in a time-dependent manner. Its effects on osteocalcin, TGF-beta1, and PGE(2) in the conditioned media were greatest on these surfaces as well. Responses to fluid-induced shear were blocked by the general Cox inhibitor indomethacin and the Cox-2 inhibitor meloxicam, indicating that response to shear is mediated by prostaglandin produced via a Cox-2 dependent mechanism. These results show that the effects of fluid induced shear change with time and are substrate dependent, suggesting that substrate microarchitecture regulates the osteoblast phenotype and effects of shear are determined by the maturation state of the responding population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether platelet-rich plasma is a clinically effective adjunct to osteoinductive agents such as demineralized bone matrix. It contains platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which decreases osteoinduction by human demineralized bone matrix in nude-mouse muscle, suggesting that platelet-rich plasma may also have a negative impact. This study tested the hypothesis that platelet-rich plasma reduces demineralized bone matrix-induced bone formation and that this effect varies with donor-dependent differences in platelet-rich plasma and demineralized bone matrix. METHODS Human platelet-rich plasma was prepared from blood from six men (average age [and standard error of the mean], 29.2 +/- 2.4 years). Platelet numbers were determined, and growth factors were quantified before and after platelet activation. Human demineralized bone matrix from two donors (demineralized bone matrix-1 and demineralized bone matrix-2) was mixed with activated platelet-rich plasma and was implanted bilaterally in the gastrocnemius muscle in eighty male nude mice (eight implants per variable). Fifty-six days after implantation, the hindlimb calf muscles were harvested for histological analysis. Osteoinduction was evaluated with use of a qualitative score and morphometric measurements of ossicle size, new bone formation, and residual demineralized bone matrix. RESULTS Compared with platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma preparations exhibited a fourfold increase in the platelet count, a fifteenfold increase in the amount of transforming growth factor-beta, a sixfold increase in the amount of PDGF-BB, a fivefold increase in the amount of PDGF-AA, and a twofold increase in the amount of PDGF-AB. Demineralized bone matrix-1 was more osteoinductive than demineralized bone matrix-2, as determined on the basis of a greater ossicle area. The effect of platelet-rich plasma was either neutral or inhibitory depending on the demineralized bone matrix batch. When used with demineralized bone matrix-1, platelet-rich plasma did not alter the qualitative score or overall ossicle size, but it decreased the new bone area. When used with demineralized bone matrix-2, platelet-rich plasma reduced the qualitative score, ossicle area, and new bone area and increased the amount of residual demineralized bone matrix. The effects on osteoinduction also varied with the donor of the platelet-rich plasma. CONCLUSIONS Platelet-rich plasma decreased the osteoinductivity of demineralized bone matrix implanted in immunocom-promised mice, and the activities of both demineralized bone matrix and platelet-rich plasma were donor-dependent.

Abstract
Cell culture studies have shown that static magnetic fields induce osteoblastic differentiation at an early stage. However, the mechanisms of differentiated effects have not been well described. We postulated that static magnetic fields stimulate osteoblastic differentiation by regulating early local factors released by the cells. To examine our hypothesis, MG63 osteoblast-like cells were exposed continuously to 0.4-T static magnetic fields for 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. The morphologic changes and matrix vesicles release were observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The effects of static magnetic fields on levels of transforming growth factor-beta1, Type I collagen, osteopontin, and alkaline phosphatase were compared between the exposed and unexposed cells. The data suggest MG63 cells treated with static magnetic fields have more differentiated morphologic features. The local regulatory factors produced by static magnetic field-treated cells were greater than those of the control cultures. These findings provide evidence that static magnetic fields affect osteoblastic maturation by up-regulating early local factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Studies showing that osteoblasts exhibit a more differentiated phenotype on rough titanium (Ti) surfaces and osteoclast-resorbed bone surfaces used materials characterized by average peak to valley distance (Ra). Other surface features impacting the cells include distance between peaks, curvature of the valleys, and relative distribution of flat and smooth regions. We used novel Ti surfaces prepared by electrochemical micromachining as models to examine specific contributions of individual design features to osteoblast response. Results show that micron-scale topography modulates cell number, cell morphology and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In the presence of the appropriate microtopography, submicron-scale rugosity modulates differentiation and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) levels. In this study, we examined the role of different types of submicron-scale structures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty micrometer diameter craters on Ti disks were produced by photolithography resulting in an electropolished smooth surface, and arranged so that inside crater area vs. outside flat area was 6 (30/6). Submicron-scale structures were superposed by acid etching and porous anodization. Ra's were 700, 400, 60 nm on acid-etched, porous anodized and smooth 30/6 surfaces, respectively. RESULTS MG63 osteoblast-like cells were sensitive to submicron-scale architecture. Cell morphology on anodized surfaces was similar to morphology on smooth surfaces, whereas on etched surfaces, cells had a more elongated differentiated shape. Cell number was greatest on smooth surfaces > anodized > etched. Osteocalcin and PGE2 were affected in a reverse manner. Active TGF-beta1 was greatest on etched 30/6 surfaces > anodized > smooth; latent TGF-beta1 was elevated on all rough surfaces. CONCLUSIONS These results support our previous observations that submicron-scale structures modulate osteoblastic phenotype and show that the physical properties of the submicron-scale structures are important variables in determining osteoblast response to substrate topography.

Abstract
Microtextured titanium implant surfaces enhance bone formation in vivo and osteoblast phenotypic expression in vitro, but the mechanisms are not understood. To determine the roles of specific microarchitectural features in modulating osteoblast behavior, we used Ti surfaces prepared by electrochemical micromachining as substrates for MG63 osteoblast-like cell culture. Cell response was compared to tissue culture plastic, a sand-blasted with large grit and acid-etched surface with defined mixed microtopography (SLA), polished Ti surfaces, and polished surfaces electrochemically machined through a photoresist pattern to produce cavities with 100, 30 and 10 microm diameters arranged so that the ratio of the microscopic-scale area of the cavities versus the microscopic-scale area of the flat region between the cavities was equal to 1 or 6. Microstructured disks were acid-etched, producing overall sub-micron-scale roughness (Ra=0.7 microm). Cell number, differentiation (alkaline phosphatase; osteocalcin) and local factor levels (TGF-beta1; PGE(2)) varied with microarchitecture. 100 microm cavities favored osteoblast attachment and growth, the sub-micron-scale etch enhanced differentiation and TGF-beta1 production, whereas PGE(2) depended on cavity dimensions but not the sub-micron-scale roughness.

Abstract
A synthetic peptide representing the receptor-binding domain of human thrombin (TP508, also known as Chrysalin) accelerates fracture repair in rats via endochondral ossification and promotes repair of rabbit cartilage defects. To understand how this peptide might stimulate cartilage and bone formation, we employed an established in vitro model of growth plate cartilage regulation. Rat costochondral cartilage resting zone and growth zone chondrocytes were treated with 0, 0.07, 0.7, or 7 microg/ml TP508 or a scrambled peptide, TP508-SP. Proliferation ([3H]-thymidine incorporation) was examined in pre-confluent cultures; effects on cell number, alkaline phosphatase activity, [35S]-sulfate incorporation, and responsiveness to vitamin D metabolites were tested using confluent cultures. TP508 did not affect proliferation of resting zone cells but it caused a dose-dependent increase in cell number and DNA synthesis of growth zone cells. Alkaline phosphatase specific activity of resting zone cells was reduced by TP508, whereas [35S]-sulfate incorporation was increased. Neither parameter was affected in growth zone cell cultures. TP508 treatment for 24 h did not induce resting zone cells to respond to 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, either with respect to alkaline phosphatase activity or proteoglycan production. In contrast, TP508 treatment reduced the stimulatory effect of 24R,25(OH)2D3 on alkaline phosphatase but it did not alter the stimulatory effect of 24R,25(OH)2D3 on [35S]-sulfate incorporation. In cultures treated for 48, 72, or 140 h with TP508, 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 restored alkaline phosphatase activity to control levels but did not stimulate activity over levels observed in untreated control cultures. The stimulatory effect of TP508 on [35S]-sulfate incorporation was evident up to 48 h post-confluence but at later time points, proteoglycan production was comparable to that seen in control cultures, control cultures challenged with 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, and cultures treated with TP508 followed by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. TP508-SP had no effect on any of the parameters tested. These results indicate that TP508 exerts maturation specific effects on chondrocytes in the endochondral lineage, promoting cartilage extracellular matrix synthesis over endochondral differentiation in resting zone cells and proliferation over differentiation of growth zone cells.

Abstract
Bone grafting materials may enhance tissue regeneration after endodontic, periodontal, or implant surgery. The differences in physical and biological properties between products may result in different osteoblastic responses. This study was designed to determine whether interleukin-1beta and Tgf-beta1 production by primary cultures of rat osteoblasts differed when cells were exposed to three grafting materials: BioOss, OsteoGraf N-300, and PepGen P-15. Cells were exposed to materials for 24, 48, and 72 h and were characterized by mineralized nodule formation. Supernatants were collected for Lowry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to assess cytokine production. All groups produced mineralized nodules after 14 days. Statistical analysis revealed no difference in interleukin-1beta production between groups, but a significant increase in Tgf-beta1 production was noted in the PepGen P-15 group. These results indicate that PepGen P-15 stimulates osteoblasts to express Tgf-beta1, which may accelerate repair of bone defects created during periradicular or dental implant surgeries.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is a physiological regulator of osteoblasts and chondrocytes, suggesting that phosphate may contribute to the biological response of these cells to bioactive glasses like Bioglass 45S5, which is composed of 45% SiO2, 24.5% CaO, 24.5% Na2O, and 6% P2O5. We investigated the effect of varying the Pi content of bioactive glass disks (0%, 3%, 6% and 12% P2O5) using human osteoblast-like MG63 cells as the model. Cell number on 6% Pi disks was comparable to cultures on tissue culture plastic, but was reduced at higher and lower Pi concentrations. Alkaline phosphatase specific activity of isolated cells and cell layer lysates, as well as PGE2, TGF-beta1 and NO levels in conditioned media, were elevated in cultures grown on bioactive glass and varied with the Pi content. The greatest effects were observed in cultures grown on disks with the lowest Pi concentrations. Thus, growth on the bioactive glasses enhances cell function in comparison with tissue culture plastic and lower Pi content favors osteoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Osteocytes are the most abundant cells in bone and there is increasing evidence that they control bone remodeling via direct cell-to-cell contacts and by soluble factors. In the present study, we have used the MLO-Y4 cell line to study the effect of osteocytes on the proliferation, differentiation and bone-forming capacity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Conditioned media (CM) from osteocytic MLO-Y4 and osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell lines were collected and added on mouse bone marrow cultures, in which MSC were induced to osteoblasts. There was a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin expression in the presence of MLO-Y4 CM. No such stimulus could be observed with MC3T3-E1 CM. There was almost 4-fold increase in bone formation and up to 2-fold increase in the proliferation of MSC with MLO-Y4 CM. The highly proliferating bone marrow cells were negative for ALP and OCN, suggesting that they could represent early osteoblast precursors. MLO-Y4 CM did not enhance the viability of mature osteoblasts nor protected them of apoptosis. This is the first study to describe soluble signals between osteocytes and osteoblasts and there most likely are several still unidentified or unknown factors in osteocyte CM. We conclude that osteocytes have an active stimulatory role in controlling bone formation.

Abstract
During endochondral development, elongation of the bone collar occurs coordinately with growth of the underlying cartilaginous growth plate. Transglutaminases (TGases) are upregulated in hypertrophic chondrocytes, and correlative evidence suggests a relationship between these enzymes and mineralization. To examine whether TGases are involved in regulating mineralization/osteogenesis during bone development, we devised a coculture system in which one cellular component (characterized as preosteoblastic) is derived from the nonmineralized region of the bone, and the other cellular component is hypertrophic chondrocytes. In these cocultures, mineralization is extensive, with the preosteoblasts producing the mineralized matrix, and the chondrocytes regulating this process. Secreted regulators are involved, as conditioned medium from chondrocytes induces mineralization in preosteoblasts, but not vice versa. One factor is TGase. In the cocultures, inhibition of TGase reduces mineralization, and addition of the enzyme enhances it. Exogenous TGase also induces markers of osteoblastic differentiation (i.e., bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin) in the preosteoblasts, suggesting their differentiation into osteoblasts. Two possible signaling pathways may be affected by TGase and result in increased mineralization (i.e., TGF-beta and protein kinase A pathways). Addition of exogenous TGF-beta2 to the cocultures increases mineralization; though, when mineralization is induced by TGase, there is no detectible elevation of TGF-beta, suggesting that these two factors stimulate osteogenesis by different pathways. However, an interrelationship seems to exist between TGase and PKA-dependent signaling. When mineralization of the cocultures is stimulated through the addition of TGase, a concomitant reduction (50%) in PKA activity occurs. Consistent with this observation, addition of an activator of PKA (cyclic AMP) to the cultures inhibits matrix mineralization, while known inhibitors of PKA (H-89 and a peptide inhibitor) cause an increase in mineralization. Thus, at least one mechanism of TGase stimulation probably involves inhibition of the PKA-mediated signaling.

Abstract
Stable, large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) have been constructed that model matrix vesicles (MV) in inducing de novo mineral formation when incubated in synthetic cartilage lymph (SCL). Using a dialysis method for incorporation of predetermined pure lipid, electrolyte and protein constituents, the detergent n-octyl beta-D-glucopyranoside enabled formation of stable, impermeable LUV with a diameter ( approximately 300 nm), lipid composition (phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylserine-cholesterol, 7:2:2, molar ratio) and enclosed inorganic phosphate level (25-100 mM) similar to that of native MV. Mineral formation by these LUVs was measured by 45Ca(2+) uptake and FTIR analysis following incubation in SCL. Addition of the ionophore A23187 to SCL enabled 45Ca(2+) uptake comparable to that of native MV. FTIR analysis revealed that crystalline mineral formed in the LUV during incubation in SCL, but not in the absence of ionophore. This mineral had an IR absorption spectrum like that of the acid-phosphate-rich, octacalcium phosphate-like mineral formed by native MV. Perturbing the LUV membrane with either detergents or phospholipase A(2) following prior incubation in SCL enabled egress of mineral crystallites from the vesicle lumen, stimulating further mineral formation. Annexin V, a major protein in native MV with known Ca(2+) channel activity, incorporated into the LUV lumen or added to the external medium, induced only limited 45Ca(2+) uptake. This indicates that additional factors are required for annexin V to form Ca(2+) channels. Nevertheless for the first time, stable LUVs have been constructed with MV-like lipid, electrolyte, and protein composition and size that induce formation of mineral like that formed by native MV.

Abstract
Combined IGF-I and TGF-beta1 application by a poly-(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) coated interbody cage has proven to promote spine fusion. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a dose-dependent effect of combined IGF-I and TGF-beta1 application on intervertebral bone matrix formation in a sheep cervical spine fusion model. Thirty-two sheep underwent C3/4 discectomy and fusion. Stabilisation was performed using a titanium cage coated with a PDLLA carrier including no growth factors in group 1 ( n=8), 75 micro g IGF-I plus 15 micro g TGF-beta1 in group 2 ( n=8), 150 micro g IGF-I plus 30 micro g TGF-beta1 in group 3 ( n=8) and 300 micro g IGF-I plus 60 micro g TGF-beta1 in group 4 ( n=8). Blood samples, body weight and temperature were analysed. Radiographic scans were performed pre- and postoperatively and after 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. At the same time points, disc space height and intervertebral angle were measured. After 12 weeks, the animals were killed and fusion sites were evaluated using quantitative computed tomographic (CT) scans to assess bone mineral density, bone mineral content and bony callus volume. Biomechanical testing was performed and range of motion, and neutral and elastic zones were determined. Histomorphological and histomorphometrical analysis were carried out and polychrome sequential labelling was used to determine the time frame of new bone formation. In comparison to the group without growth factors (group 1), the medium- and high-dose growth factor groups (groups 3 and 4) demonstrated a significantly higher bony callus volume on CT scans, a higher biomechanical stability, an advanced interbody bone matrix formation in histomorphometrical analysis, and an earlier bone matrix formation on fluorochrome sequence labelling. Additionally, the medium- and high-dose growth factor groups (groups 3 and 4) demonstrated a significantly higher bony callus volume, a higher biomechanical stability in rotation, and an advanced interbody bone matrix formation in comparison to the low-dose growth factor group (group 2). No significant difference could be determined between the medium- and the high-dose growth factor groups (groups 3 and 4, respectively). The local application of IGF-I and TGF-beta1 by a PDLLA-coated cage significantly improved results of interbody bone matrix formation in a dose-dependent manner. The best dose-response relationship was achieved with the medium growth factor dose (150 micro g IGF-I and 30 micro g TGF-beta1). With an increasing dose of these growth factors, no further stimulation of bone matrix formation was observed. Although these results are encouraging, safety issues of combined IGF-I and TGF-beta1 application for spinal fusion still have to be addressed.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) surfaces with rough microtopographies enhance osteogenic differentiation, local factor production, and response to osteogenic agents in vitro and increase pullout strength of dental implants in vivo. Estrogens regulate bone formation, resorption, and remodeling in females and may be important in implant success. Here, we tested the hypothesis that estrogen modulates osteoblast response to implant surface morphology. Primary female human osteoblasts were cultured to confluence on three Ti surfaces (pretreatment, PT - R(a) 0.60 microm; sandblasted and acid-etched, SLA - R(a) 3.97 microm; and Ti plasma-sprayed, TPS - R(a) 5.21 microm) and treated for 24 h with 10(-7) or 10(-8) M 17beta-estradiol (E(2)). Cell number decreased with increasing surface roughness, but was not sensitive to E(2). Alkaline phosphatase specific activity of isolated cells and cell layer lysates was lower on rough surfaces. E(2) increased both parameters on smooth surfaces, whereas on rough surfaces, the stimulatory effect of E(2) on alkaline phosphatase was evident only when measuring cell layer lysates. Osteocalcin levels were higher in the conditioned media of cells grown on rough surfaces; E(2) had no effect in cultures on the plastic surfaces, but increased osteocalcin production on all Ti surfaces. TGF-beta1 and PGE(2) production was increased on rough surfaces, and E(2) augmented this effect in a synergistic manner; on smooth surfaces, there was no change in production with E(2). The response of osteoblasts to surface topography was modulated by E(2). On smooth surfaces, E(2) affected only alkaline phosphatase, but on rough surfaces, E(2) increased levels of osteocalcin, TGF-beta1, and PGE(2). These results show that normal adult human female osteoblasts are sensitive to surface microtopography and that E(2) can alter this response.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that osteoblasts are sensitive to surface roughness. When cultured on Ti, MG63 osteoblast-like cells exhibit decreased proliferation and increased differentiation with increasing surface roughness. In vivo, osteoblasts also are subjected to shear force during osseointegration. To examine how shear force modulates osteoblast response to surface roughness, MG63 cells were cultured on glass disks or Ti disks with three different R(a) values and topographies (PT: R(a) = 0.60 microm; SLA: R(a) = 3.97 microm; TPS: R(a) = 5.21 microm) in a continuous flow device, resulting in shear forces of 0, 1, 5, 14, and 30 dynes/cm(2). Confluent cultures were exposed to fluid flow for 1 h. After an additional 23 h, cell number, alkaline-phosphatase-specific activity, and levels of osteocalcin, TGF-beta1, and PGE2 in the conditioned media were determined. Cell numbers on smooth surfaces (glass and PT) were unaffected by shear force. In contrast, shear force caused a dose-dependent reversal of the decrease in cell numbers seen on rough SLA and TPS surfaces. Alkaline-phosphatase-specific activity was unaffected on glass or PT, but shear force caused a biphasic reduction in the roughness-dependent increase on SLA and TPS that was maximal at 14 dynes/cm(2). There was a similar effect seen with TGF-beta1 levels. Osteocalcin was unaffected on smooth surfaces; shear force caused a dose-dependent reduction in the roughness-stimulated increase seen on SLA and TPS. PGE2 production was increased by shear force on all surfaces. There was a twofold increase in PGE2 levels in the media of MG63 cells cultured on glass and PT in response to 14 dynes/cm(2), but on SLA and TPS, 14 dynes/cm(2) shear force caused a 9-10-fold increase. These results show that osteoblastic response to shear force is modulated by surface topography. The shear-force-mediated decrease in osteoblast differentiation seen in cultures on rough surfaces may be due to increased production of PGE2.

Abstract
We have studied the expression of FGF1 and FGF2 during mouse odontogenesis by immunohistochemistry. FGF1 was detected in differentiated odontoblasts and at the secretory pole of ameloblasts. Localization of FGF2 was mainly observed within the basement membrane interposed between dental epithelium and dental mesenchyme. These findings indicate that FGF1 and FGF2 may participate in the control of odontoblast and ameloblast differentiation. Thereafter, we studied the ability of FGF1 and FGF2, alone or in combination with TGF beta 1, to induce polarization and/or functional differentiation of preodontoblasts. Dental papillae (DP) obtained from first lower molars of 17-day-old mouse embryo were cultured in the presence or the absence of growth factors. DP cultured with FGF1 + TGF beta 1 showed gradients of odontoblast-like cell differentiation, which displayed alkaline phosphatase reactivity. DP treated with FGF2 + TGF beta 1 exhibited pre-odontoblast cell polarization, and the cell bodies displayed long cytoplasm processes. However, following this treatment we did not observe extracellular matrix secretion, and alkaline phosphatase activity was completely inhibited. In summary, our results show that exogenous addition of FGF1 to pre-odontoblasts induces their terminal differentiation, by synergistically acting with TGF beta 1. In contrast, FGF2 may regulate the effect of TGF beta 1, permitting cell polarization but restraining pre-odontoblast functions.

Abstract
Objective To determine the role of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta) in early calcium pyrophosphate formation by measuring its effects on articular chondrocyte matrix vesicle (MV) formation, specific activity of the inorganic pyrophosphate(PPi)-generating enzyme nucleoside triphosphate pyrophospho-hydrolase (NTPPPH) and biomineralization capacity. Methods MV elaborated from mature porcine chondrocyte monolayers+/-TGFbeta were compared for protein content, NTPPPH activity, and ATP-dependent biomineralization. Precipitation of calcium pyrophosphate mineral phases by MV was determined by a radiometric assay and by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results MV from monolayers exposed to TGFbeta were enriched in NTPPPH activity compared to MV from control monolayers (P< 0.01) and precipitated more calcium/mg MV protein than controls (P</= 0.01). FTIR spectra of mineral generated by monolayer-elaborated MV were consistent with poorly crystalline CPPD. Conclusions TGFbeta is capable of increasing the capacity of articular chondrocyte-derived MV to generate PPi via NTPPPH and precipitate calcium in the form of CPPD mineral. These data support the concept that this growth factor plays a key role in cartilage matrix CPPD deposition.

Abstract
Dental papillae (DP) isolated from first lower molars of 17-day-old mouse embryos were cultured in the presence of combinations of the following growth factors: FGF1, FGF2, and TGFbeta1. After 6 days in culture, only the DP treated with FGF1+TGFbeta1 contained differentiated odontoblast-like cells at the periphery of the explants, and these cells secreted extracellular matrix similar to predentin. Surprisingly, treatments with FGF2+TGFbeta1 induced cell polarization at the surface of the explants but no matrix secretion was observed. Electron microscopy and histochemical analysis of odontoblast markers showed that differentiated cells induced by FGF1+TGFbeta1 exhibited cytological features of functional odontoblasts with matrix vesicle secretion and mineral formation, positive alkaline-phosphatase activity, and type-I collagen production. DP cultured in the presence of FGF2+TGFbeta1 showed cell polarization and long and thin cell processes containing matrix vesicles; however, type-I collagen secretion was not detected and alkaline-phosphatase activity was completely inhibited. Our results indicate that, in our culture system, exogenous combinations of FGF1, FGF2, and TGFbeta1 interact with preodontoblasts and induce cell polarization or differentiation, which can be studied separately in vitro. Thus, FGF1 and TGFbeta1 do have a synergic effect to promote morphological and functional features of differentiated odontoblasts whereas FGF2 seems to modulate TGFbeta1 action, causing morphological polarization of preodontoblasts but limiting the functional activity of these cells in terms of type-I collagen secretion and alkaline-phosphatase activity.

Abstract
Pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation has been used to promote the healing of chronic nonunions and fractures with delayed healing, but relatively little is known about its effects on osteogenic cells or the mechanisms involved. The purpose of this study was to examine the response of osteoblast-like cells to a pulsed electromagnetic field signal used clinically and to determine if the signal modulates the production of autocrine factors associated with differentiation. Confluent cultures of MG63 human osteoblast-like cells were placed between Helmholtz coils and exposed to a pulsed electromagnetic signal consisting of a burst of 20 pulses repeating at 15 Hz for 8 hours per day for 1, 2, or 4 days. Controls were cultured under identical conditions, but no signal was applied. Treated and control cultures were alternated between two comparable incubators and, therefore, between active coils; measurement of the temperature of the incubators and the culture medium indicated that application of the signal did not generate heat above the level found in the control incubator or culture medium. The pulsed electromagnetic signal caused a reduction in cell proliferation on the basis of cell number and [3H]thymidine incorporation. Cellular alkaline phosphatase-specific activity increased in the cultures exposed to the signal, with maximum effects at day 1. In contrast, enzyme activity in the cell-layer lysates, which included alkaline phosphatase-enriched extracellular matrix vesicles, continued to increase with the time of exposure to the signal. After 1 and 2 days of exposure, collagen synthesis and osteocalcin production were greater than in the control cultures. Prostaglandin E2 in the treated cultures was significantly reduced at 1 and 2 days, whereas transforming growth factor-beta1 was increased; at 4 days of treatment, however, the levels of both local factors were similar to those in the controls. The results indicate enhanced differentiation as the net effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields on osteoblasts, as evidenced by decreased proliferation and increased alkaline phosphatase-specific activity, osteocalcin synthesis, and collagen production. Pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation appears to promote the production of matrix vesicles on the basis of higher levels of alkaline phosphatase at 4 days in the cell layers than in the isolated cells, commensurate with osteogenic differentiation in response to transforming growth factor-beta1. The results indicate that osteoblasts are sensitive to pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation, which alters cell activity through changes in local factor production.

Abstract
This paper reviews the role of surface roughness in the osteogenic response to implant materials. Cells in the osteoblast lineage respond to roughness in cell-maturation-specific ways, exhibiting surface-dependent morphologies and growth characteristics. MG63 cells, a human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cell line, respond to increasing surface roughness with decreased proliferation and increased osteoblastic differentiation. Alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin production are increased. Local factor production is also affected; production of both TGF-beta 1 and PGE2 is increased. On rougher surfaces, MG63 cells exhibit enhanced responsiveness to 1,25-(OH)2D3. Prostaglandins mediate the effects of surface roughness, since indomethacin prevents the increased expression of differentiation markers in these cells.

Abstract
Small particles of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene stimulate formation of foreign-body granulomas and bone resorption. Bone formation may also be affected by wear debris. To determine if wear debris directly affects osteoblasts, we characterized a commercial preparation of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (GUR4150) particles and examined their effect on MG63 osteoblast-like cells. In aliquots of the culture medium containing ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, 79% of the particles were less than 1 microm in diameter, indicating that the cells were exposed to particles of less than 1 microm. MG63 cell response to the particles was measured by assaying cell number, [3H]thymidine incorporation, alkaline phosphatase specific activity, osteocalcin production, [35S]sulfate incorporation, and production of prostaglandin E2 and transforming growth factor-beta. Cell number and [3H]thymidine incorporation were increased in a dose-dependent manner. Alkaline phosphatase specific activity, a marker of cell differentiation for the cultures, was significantly decreased, but osteocalcin production was not affected. [35S]sulfate incorporation, a measure of extracellular matrix production, was reduced. Prostaglandin E2 release was increased, but transforming growth factor-beta production was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. This shows that ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene particles affect MG63 proliferation, differentiation, extracellular matrix synthesis, and local factor production. These effects were direct and dose dependent. The findings suggest that ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene wear debris particles with an average size of approximately 1 microm may inhibit bone formation by inhibiting cell differentiation and reducing transforming growth factor-beta production and matrix synthesis. In addition, increases in prostaglandin E2 production may not only affect osteoblasts by an autocrine pathway but may also stimulate the proliferation and activation of cells in the monocytic lineage. These changes favor decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption as occur in osteolysis.

Abstract
Osteoblasts produce a 100 kDa soluble form of latent transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) as well as a 290 kDa form containing latent TGF-beta binding protein-1 (LTBP1), which targets the latent complex to the matrix for storage. The nature of the soluble and stored forms of latent TGF-beta in chondrocytes, however, is not known. In the present study, resting zone and growth zone chondrocytes from rat costochondral cartilage were cultured to fourth passage and then examined for the presence of mRNA coding for LTBP1 protein. In addition, the matrix and media were examined for LTBP1 protein and latent TGF-beta. Northern blots, RT-PCR, and in situ hybridization showed that growth zone cells expressed higher levels of LTBP1 mRNA in vitro than resting zone cells. Immunohistochemical staining for LTBP1 revealed fine fibrillar structures around the cells and in the cell matrix. When the extracellular matrix of these cultures was digested with plasmin, LTBP1 was released, as determined by immunoprecipitation. Both active and latent TGF-beta1 were found in these digests by TGF-beta1 ELISA and Western blotting. Immunoprecipitation demonstrated that the cells also secrete LTBP1 which is not associated with latent TGF-beta, in addition to LTBP1 that is associated with the 100 kDa latent TGF-beta complex. These studies show for the first time that latent TGF-beta is present in the matrix of costochondral chondrocytes and that LTBP1 is responsible for storage of this complex in the matrix. The data suggest that chondrocytes are able to regulate both the temporal and spatial activation of latent TGF-beta, even at sites distant from the cell, in a relatively avascular environment.

Abstract
To determine if transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) can induce the differentiation of resting zone (RC) chondrocytes, confluent, fourth passage cultures of these cells were pretreated for 24, 36, 48, 72, and 120 h with TGF-beta 1. At the end of pretreatment, the media were replaced with new media containing 10(-10)-10(-8) mol/L 1,25-(OH)2D3 and the cells incubated for an additional 24 h. This second treatment was chosen because prior studies had shown that only the more mature growth zone (GC) chondrocytes respond to this vitamin D3 metabolite. The effect of TGF-beta pretreatment on cell maturation was assessed by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALPase)-specific activity. In addition, changes in matrix protein synthesis were assessed by measuring collagen synthesis, as well as 35SO4 incorporation into proteoglycans. When RC cells were pretreated for 120 h with TGF-beta 1, treatment with 1,25-(OH)2D3 caused a dose-dependent increase in ALPase-specific activity and collagen synthesis, with no effect on proteoglycan production. RC cells pretreated with 1,25(OH)2D3 responded like RC cells that had not received any pretreatment. RC cells normally respond to 24,25-(OH)2D3; however, RC cultures pretreated for 120 h with TGF-beta 1 lost their responsiveness to 24,25-(OH)2D3. These results indicate that TGF-beta 1 directly regulates the maturation of RC chondrocytes into GC chondrocytes and support the hypothesis that this growth factor may play a significant role in regulating chondrocyte maturation during endochondral ossification.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta), as well as the vitamin D3 metabolites 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25) and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25), regulate chondrocyte differentiation and maturation during endochondral bone formation. Both the growth factor and secosteroids also affect protein kinase C (PKC) activity, although each has its own unique time course of enzyme activation. Vitamin D3 metabolite effects are detected soon after addition to the media, whereas TGFbeta effects occur over a longer term. The present study examines the interrelation between the effects of 1,25, 24,25, and TGFbeta on chondrocyte differentiation, matrix production, and proliferation. We also examined whether the effect is hormone-specific and maturation-dependent and whether the effect of combining hormone and growth factor is mediated by PKC. This study used a chondrocyte culture model developed in our laboratory that allows comparison of chondrocytes at two stages of differentiation: the more mature growth zone (GC) cells and the less mature resting zone chondrocyte (RC) cells. Only the addition of 24,25 with TGFbeta showed synergistic effects on RC alkaline phosphatase-specific activity (ALPase). No similar effect was found when 24,25 plus TGFbeta was added to GC cells or when 1,25 plus TGFbeta were added to GC or RC cells. The addition of 1,25 plus TGFbeta and 24,25 plus TGFbeta to GC and RC cells, respectively, produced a synergistic increase in [35S]sulfate incorporation and had an additive effect on [3H]thymidine incorporation. To examine the signal transduction pathway involved in producing the synergistic effect of 24,25 and TGFbeta on RC cells, the level of PKC activity was examined. Addition of 24,25 and TGFbeta for 12 h produced a synergistic increase in PKC activity. Moreover, a similar effect was found when 24,25 was added for only the last 90 min of a 12-h incubation. However, a synergistic effect could not be found when 24,25 was added for the last 9 min or the first 90 min of incubation. To further understand how 24,25 and TGFbeta may mediate the observed synergistic increase in PKC activity, the pathways potentially leading to activation of PKC were examined. It was found that 24,25 affects PKC activity through production of diacylglycerol, not through activation of G protein, whereas TGFbeta only affected PKC activity through G protein. The results of the present study indicate that vitamin D metabolites and TGFbeta produced a synergistic effect that is maturation-dependent and hormone-specific. Moreover, the synergistic effect between 24,25 and TGFbeta was mediated by activation of PKC through two parallel pathways: 24,25 through diacylglycerol production and TGFbeta through G protein activation.

Abstract
The surface of an implant determines its ultimate ability to integrate into the surrounding tissue. The composite effect of surface energy, composition, roughness, and topography plays a major role during the initial phases of the biological response to the implant, such as protein adsorption and cellular adherence, as well as during the later and more chronic phases of the response. For bone, the successful incorporation (and hence rigid fixation) of an alloplastic material within the surrounding bony bed is called osteointegration. The exact surface characteristics necessary for optimal osteointegration, however, remain to be elucidated. This review will focus on how surface characteristics, such as composition and roughness, affect cellular response to an implant material. Data from two different culture systems suggest that these characteristics play a significant role in the recruitment and maturation of cells along relevant differentiation pathways. In the case of osteointegration, if the implant surface is inappropriate or less than optimal, cells will be unable to produce the appropriate complement of autocrine and paracrine factors required for adequate stimulation of osteogenesis at the implant site. In contrast, if the surface is appropriate, cells at the implant surface will stimulate interactions between cells at the surface and those in distal tissues. This, in turn, will initiate a timely sequence of events which include cell proliferation, differentiation, matrix synthesis, and local factor production, thereby resulting in the successful incorporation of the implant into the surrounding bony tissue.

Abstract
Prior studies have shown that vitamin D regulation of protein kinase C activity (PKC) in the cell layer of chondrocyte cultures is cell maturation-dependent. In the present study, we examined the membrane distribution of PKC and whether 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 and 24R,25-(OH)2D3 can directly regulate enzyme activity in isolated plasma membranes and extracellular matrix vesicles. Matrix vesicle PKC was activated by bryostatin-1 and inhibited by a PKC-specific pseudosubstrate inhibitor peptide. Depletion of membrane PKC activity using isoform-specific anti-PKC antibodies suggested that PKC alpha is the major isoform in cell layer lysates as well as in plasma membranes isolated from both cell types; PKC zeta is the predominant form in matrix vesicles. This was confirmed in Western blots of immunoprecipitates as well as in studies using control peptides to block binding of the isoform specific antibody to the enzyme and using a PKC zeta-specific pseudosubstrate inhibitor peptide. The presence of PKC zeta in matrix vesicles was further verified by immunoelectron microscopy. Enzyme activity in the matrix vesicle was insensitive to exogenous lipid, whereas that in the plasma membrane required lipid for full activity. 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3 inhibited matrix vesicle PKC, but stimulated plasma membrane PKC when added directly to the isolated membrane fractions. PKC activity in the matrix vesicle was calcium-independent, whereas that in the plasma membrane required calcium. Moreover, the vitamin D-sensitive PKC in matrix vesicles was not dependent on calcium, whereas the vitamin D-sensitive enzyme in plasma membranes was calcium-dependent. It is concluded that PKC isoforms are differentially distributed between matrix vesicles and plasma membranes and that enzyme activity is regulated in a membrane-specific manner. This suggests the existence of a nongenomic mechanism whereby the effects of 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3 may be mediated via PKC. Further, PKC zeta may be important in nongenomic, autocrine signal transduction at sites distal from the cell.

Abstract
The effect of different vanadium compounds on proliferation and differentiation was examined in osteoblast-like UMR106 cells. Vanadate increased the cell growth in a biphasic manner, the higher doses inhibiting cell progression. Vanadyl stimulated cell proliferation in a dose-responsive manner. Similar to vanadate, pervanadate increased osteoblast-like cell proliferation in a biphasic manner but no inhibition of growth was observed. Vanadyl and pervanadate were stronger stimulators of cell growth than vanadate. Only vanadate was able to regulate the cell differentiation as measured by cell alkaline phosphatase activity. These results suggest that vanadium derivatives behave like growth factors on osteoblast-like cells and are potential pharmacological tools in the control of cell growth.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a polypeptide with multiple physiological functions. Isoforms of this growth factor have important roles in control of the cell cycle, in regulation of cell-cell interactions and in growth and development. Malignant transformation has been shown to be associated with increased expression of TGF-beta. Since bone is the largest storage site and producer of TGF-beta, we speculated on the existence of an autocrine mechanism in osteosarcoma, a malignant bone tumor. Expression of TGF-beta cell surface receptors, effects on growth of TGF-beta and TGF-beta antibodies and production of 2 TGF-beta isoforms were studied in a panel of 7 osteosarcoma cell lines. In contrast to most previous reports on the effects of TGF-beta on osteosarcoma cell growth, we found a mitogenic effect of TGF-beta 1 in 4 of 7 osteosarcoma cell lines. Receptor profiles for TGF-beta were aberrant in 5 of the 7 cell lines tested, and production of TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 varied among cell lines. Addition of anti-TGF-beta antagonized the effects of endogenous TGF-beta. Our results suggest a potential role of TGF-beta in autocrine growth control of osteosarcoma cells.

Abstract
Matrix vesicles, media vesicles, and plasma membranes from three well-characterized, osteoblast-like cells (ROS 17/2.8, MG-63, and MC-3T3-E1) were evaluated for their content of enzymes capable of processing the extracellular matrix. Matrix vesicles were enriched in alkaline phosphatase specific activity over the plasma membrane and contained fully active neutral, but not acid, metalloproteinases capable of digesting proteoglycans, potential inhibitors of matrix calcification. Matrix vesicle enrichment in neutral metalloproteinase varied with the cell line, whereas collagenase, lysozyme, hyaluronidase, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) were not found in any of the membrane fractions examined. MC-3T3-E1 cells were cultured for 32 days in the presence of ascorbic acid (100 micrograms/ml), beta-glycerophosphate (5 mM), or a combination of the two, to assess changes in matrix vesicle enzymes during calcification. Ascorbate or beta-glycerophosphate alone had no effect, but in combination produced significant increases in both active and total neutral metalloproteinase in matrix vesicles and plasma membranes, with the change seen in matrix vesicles being the most dramatic. This correlated with an increase in the formation of von Kossa-positive nodules. The results of the present study indicate that osteoblast-like cells produce matrix vesicles enriched in proteoglycan-degrading metalloproteinases. In addition, the observation that matrix vesicles contain significantly increased metalloproteinases under conditions favorable for mineralization in vitro lends support to the hypothesis that matrix vesicles play an important role in extracellular matrix processing and calcification in bone.

Abstract
This study examined effects of bone bonding and nonbonding implants on parameters associated with matrix vesicle-mediated primary bone formation, matrix vesicle alkaline phosphatase and phospholipase A2 specific activities, and phosphatidylserine content. Tibia marrow ablation followed by implantation of KG-Cera, Mina 13 (bonding), KGy-213, or M 8/1 (nonbonding) was used as the experimental model. Postsurgery, matrix vesicle-enriched microsomes (MVEM) were isolated from implanted and contralateral limbs. MVEM alkaline phosphatase and phospholipase A2 were stimulated adjacent to bonding implants with similar, though reduced, effects contralaterally. Alkaline phosphatase exhibited slight stimulation in nonbonding tissue; phospholipase A2 was inhibited or unchanged in treated and contralateral limbs. Phosphatidylserine content of MVEM was differentially affected by the implant materials. Thus, MVEM are modulated by implant materials locally and systemically. The data demonstrate that the model is a biologically relevant diagnostic for assessing the tissue/implant interface, primary calcification is affected by implant materials, and implant-specific effects are detected in the contralateral unimplanted limb.

Abstract
After demonstrating the presence of matrix vesicles in three osteosarcoma cell lines, MG-63, ROS 17/2.8 and MC-3T3-E1, we sought to determine whether two major enzymes localized to matrix vesicles, alkaline phosphatase and phospholipase A2, could be regulated by 1,25(OH)2D3 and/or TGF beta. Intravesicular calcification is probably dependent on these two enzymes. Alkaline phosphatase is essential for hydrolysis of phosphate-containing substrates and phospholipase A2 hydrolyzes diacylphosphatides in a calcium-mediated manner at lipid-aqueous interfaces leading to changes in membrane fluidity and possibly breakdown of the matrix vesicle. The 1,25(OH)2D3 induced increase of alkaline phosphatase in bone cells is localized to the matrix vesicle. TGF beta also increased alkaline phosphatase activity in two of the cell lines, MG-63 and ROS 17/2.8 but to a greater degree than 1,25(OH)2D3. Matrix vesicle alkaline phosphatase activity exhibited a greater response than that in the plasma membrane. TGF beta increased phospholipase A2 activity in both matrix vesicles and plasma membranes, therefore, no targeting was observed with respect to this enzyme. When TGF beta was combined with 1,25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2D3 had no effect on phospholipase A2 and did not interfere with TGF beta stimulation of phospholipase A2 activity. When 1,25(OH)2D3 and TGF beta were combined, a tremendous synergy was observed in alkaline phosphatase specific activity in both plasma membranes and matrix vesicles with targeting to matrix vesicles. Therefore, TGF beta not only plays an important role in matrix formation and differentiation, but works in conjunction with 1,25(OH)2D3 to greatly potentiate the effects seen with 1,25(OH)2D3 alone.
