Characterization and Expression of Senescence Marker in Prolonged Passages of Rat Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Stem Cells Int 2016; 2016:8487264. [PMID: 27579045 PMCID: PMC4989133 DOI: 10.1155/2016/8487264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2016] [Revised: 05/23/2016] [Accepted: 05/23/2016] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study is aimed at optimizing the in vitro culture protocol for generation of rat bone marrow- (BM-) derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and characterizing the culture-mediated cellular senescence. The initial phase of generation and characterization was conducted using the adherent cells from Sprague Dawley (SD) rat's BM via morphological analysis, growth kinetics, colony forming unit capacity, immunophenotyping, and mesodermal lineage differentiation. Mesenchymal stem cells were successfully generated and characterized as delineated by the expressions of CD90.1, CD44H, CD29, and CD71 and lack of CD11b/c and CD45 markers. Upon induction, rBM-MSCs differentiated into osteocytes and adipocytes and expressed osteocytes and adipocytes genes. However, a decline in cell growth was observed at passage 4 onwards and it was further deciphered through apoptosis, cell cycle, and senescence assays. Despite the enhanced cell viability at later passages (P4-5), the expression of senescence marker, β-galactosidase, was significantly increased at passage 5. Furthermore, the cell cycle analysis has confirmed the in vitro culture-mediated cellular senescence where cells were arrested at the G0/G1 phase of cell cycle. Although the currently optimized protocols had successfully yielded rBM-MSCs, the culture-mediated cellular senescence limits the growth of rBM-MSCs and its potential use in rat-based MSC research.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major component of catechin in green tea, has known effects on cancer, diabetes and obesity. We recently reported that the expression levels of various genes and proteins involved in adipogenesis decreases following EGCG treatment. We also assessed apoptosis in EGCG-exposed cells. Here, we explore the variability in free-radical production in bovine bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) treated with EGCG. Upon adipogenic differentiation, BMSCs were exposed to various EGCG concentrations (0, 0.1, 1, 5, or 10 μM) for 2, 4, or 6 days. We found that EGCG reduced cell viability and arrested the cell cycle at the gap 2/mitosis phase and that EGCG potentially enhanced the production of free radicals, including reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Immunostaining revealed that the expression of genes encoding CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and stearoyl-CoA desaturase were diminished by EGCG treatment. These findings suggest that EGCG alters free-radical production activity during adipogenic differentiation in BMSCs.

Abstract
Capsaicin is a major constituent of hot chili peppers that influences lipid metabolism in animals. In this study, we explored the effects of capsaicin on adipogenic differentiation of bovine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The BMSCs were treated with various concentrations of capsaicin (0, 0.1, 1, 5, and 10 μM) for 2, 4, and 6 days. Capsaicin suppressed fat deposition significantly during adipogenic differentiation. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, cytosine-cytosine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine/enhancer binding protein alpha, fatty acid binding protein 4, and stearoyl-CoA desaturase expression decreased after capsaicin treatment. We showed that the number of apoptotic cells increased in dose- and time-dependent manners. Furthermore, we found that capsaicin increased the expression levels of apoptotic genes, such as B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein and caspase 3. Overall, capsaicin inhibits fat deposition by triggering apoptosis.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major component of tea, has known effects on obesity, fatty liver, and obesity-related cancer. We explored the effects of EGCG on the differentiation of bovine mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs, which are multipotent) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Differentiating BMSCs were exposed to various concentrations of EGCG (0, 10, 50, 100, and 200 µM) for 2, 4, and 6 days. BMSCs were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)/high-glucose medium with adipogenic inducers for 6 days, and the expression levels of various genes involved in adipogenesis were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting. We assessed apoptosis by flow cytometry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining of control and EGCG-exposed cells. We found that EGCG significantly suppressed fat deposition and cell viability (P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein levels of various adipogenic factors were measured. Expression of the genes encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA), fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) were diminished by EGCG during adipogenic differentiation (P < 0.05). We also found that EGCG lowered the expression levels of the adipogenic proteins encoded by these genes (P < 0.05). EGCG induced apoptosis during adipogenic differentiation (P < 0.05). Thus, exposure to EGCG potentially inhibits adipogenesis by triggering apoptosis; the data suggest that EGCG inhibits adipogenic differentiation in BMSCs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and MSC-like multipotent stem/progenitor cells have been widely investigated for regenerative medicine and deemed promising in clinical applications. In order to further improve MSC-based stem cell therapeutics, it is important to understand the cellular kinetics and functional roles of MSCs in the dynamic regenerative processes. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of typical MSC cultures, their native identity and anatomical localization in the body have remained unclear, making it difficult to decipher the existence of distinct cell subsets within the MSC entity. Recent studies have shown that several blood-vessel-derived precursor cell populations, purified by flow cytometry from multiple human organs, give rise to bona fide MSCs, suggesting that the vasculature serves as a systemic reservoir of MSC-like stem/progenitor cells. Using individually purified MSC-like precursor cell subsets, we and other researchers have been able to investigate the differential phenotypes and regenerative capacities of these contributing cellular constituents in the MSC pool. In this review, we will discuss the identification and characterization of perivascular MSC precursors, including pericytes and adventitial cells, and focus on their cellular kinetics: cell adhesion, migration, engraftment, homing, and intercellular cross-talk during tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
The stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue is a rich source of multipotent stem cells. We and others have described three major populations of stem/progenitor cells in this fraction, all closely associated with small blood vessels: endothelial progenitor cells (EPC, CD45-/CD31+/CD34+), pericytes (CD45-/CD31-/CD146+), and supra-adventitial adipose stromal cells (SA-ASC, CD45-/CD31-/CD146-/CD34+). EPC are luminal, pericytes are adventitial, and SA-ASC surround the vessel like a sheath. The multipotency of the pericytes and SA-ASC compartments is strikingly similar to that of CD45-/CD34-/CD73+/CD105+/CD90+ bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC). Here, we determine the extent to which this mesenchymal pattern is expressed on the three adipose stem/progenitor populations. Eight independent adipose tissue samples were analyzed in a single tube (CD105-FITC/CD73-PE/CD146-PETXR/CD14-PECY5/CD33-PECY5/CD235A-PECY5/CD31-PECY7/CD90-APC/CD34-A700/CD45-APCCY7/DAPI). Adipose EPC were highly proliferative with (14.3 ± 2.8)% (mean ± SEM) having >2N DNA. About half (53.1 ± 7.6)% coexpressed CD73 and CD105, and (71.9 ± 7.4)% expressed CD90. Pericytes were less proliferative [(8.2 ± 3.4)% >2N DNA)] with a smaller proportion [(29.6 ± 6.9)% CD73+/CD105+, (60.5 ± 10.2)% CD90+] expressing mesenchymal associated markers. However, the CD34+ subset of CD146+ pericytes were both highly proliferative [(15.1 ± 3.6)% with >2N DNA] and of uniform mesenchymal phenotype [(93.3 ± 3.7)% CD73+/CD105+, (97.8 ± 0.7)% CD90+], suggesting transit amplifying progenitor cells. SA-ASC were the least proliferative [(3.7 ± 0.8)%>2N DNA] but were also highly mesenchymal in phenotype [(94.4 ± 3.2)% CD73+/CD105+, (95.5 ± 1.2)% CD90+]. These data imply a progenitor/progeny relationship between pericytes and SA-ASC, the most mesenchymal of SVF cells. Despite phenotypic and functional similarities to BM-MSC, SA-ASC are distinguished by CD34 expression.

Abstract
The human synovium contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are multipotential non-hematopoietic progenitor cells that can differentiate into a variety of mesenchymal lineages and they may therefore be a candidate cell source for tissue repair. However, the molecular mechanisms by which this can occur are still largely unknown. Mouse primary cell culture enables us to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying various phenomena because it allows for relatively easy gene manipulation, which is indispensable for the molecular analysis. However, mouse synovial mesenchymal cells (SMCs) have not been established, although rabbit, cow, and rat SMCs are available, in addition to human MSCs. The aim of this study was to establish methods to harvest the synovium and to isolate and culture primary SMCs from mice. As the mouse SMCs were not able to be harvested and isolated using the same protocol for human, rat and rabbit SMCs, the protocol for humans was modified for SMCs from the Balb/c mouse knee joint. The mouse SMCs obtained showed superior proliferative potential, growth kinetics and colony formation compared to cells derived from muscle and bone marrow. They expressed PDGFRá and Sca-1 detected by flow cytometry, and showed an osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic potential similar or superior to the cells derived from muscle and bone marrow by demonstrating in vitro osteogenesis, adipogenesis and chondrogenesis. In conclusion, we established a primary mouse synovial cell culture method. The cells derived from the mouse synovium demonstrated both the ability to proliferate and multipotentiality similar or superior to the cells derived from muscle and bone marrow.

Abstract
The hematopoietic and vascular lineages are intimately entwined as they arise together from bipotent hemangioblasts and hemogenic endothelial precursors during human embryonic development. In vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells toward these lineages provides opportunities for elucidating the mechanisms of hematopoietic genesis. We previously demonstrated the stepwise in vitro differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to definitive erythromyelopoiesis through clonogenic bipotent primitive hemangioblasts. This system recapitulates an orderly hematopoiesis similar to human yolk sac development via the generation of mesodermal-hematoendothelial progenitor cells that give rise to endothelium followed by embryonic primitive and definitive hematopoietic cells. Here, we report that under modified feeder-free endothelial culture conditions, multipotent CD34⁺ CD45⁺ hematopoietic progenitors arise in mass quantities from differentiated hESC and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). These hematopoietic progenitors arose directly from adherent endothelial/stromal cell layers in a manner resembling in vivo hematopoiesis from embryonic hemogenic endothelium. Although fibroblast-derived hiPSC lines were previously found inefficient in hemato-endothelial differentiation capacity, our culture system also supported robust hiPSC hemato-vascular differentiation at levels comparable to hESC. We present comparative differentiation results for simultaneously generating hematopoietic and vascular progenitors from both hESC and fibroblast-hiPSC. This defined, optimized, and low-density differentiation system will be ideal for direct single-cell time course studies of the earliest hematopoietic events using time-lapse videography, or bulk kinetics using flow cytometry analyses on emerging hematopoietic progenitors.

Abstract
Stem cells have recently been isolated from humans and mice but not from rat tendon tissue. This study reports the isolation and characterization of stem cells from rat tendon. Nucleated cells isolated from rat flexor tendon tissues after collagenase digestion were plated at a low cell density to allow the selective proliferation of tendon-derived stem cells. About 1-2% of the cells isolated under this optimized culturing condition showed clonogenicity, high proliferative potential at low seeding density, and osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic multidifferentiation potential. These cells were CD44(+), CD90(+), CD34(-), and CD31(-). Although they shared some common properties with mesenchymal stem cells, they also exhibited their unique characteristics by expressing tenogenic and chondrogenic markers. There was expression of tenogenic markers, including alpha-smooth muscle actin, tenascin C, and tenomodulin, but not collagen type I at passage 0 (P0) and P3. Expression of a chondrogenic marker, aggrecan, was observed at P0 and P3, whereas expression of collagen type II was observed in few cells only at P3. The successful isolation of tendon-derived stem cells under the optimized growth and differentiation conditions was useful for future stem-cell-based tissue regenerative studies as well as studies on their roles in tendon physiology, healing, and disorders using the rat model.

Abstract
Since discovery, significant interest has been generated in the potential application of mesenchymal stem cells or multipotential stromal cells (MSC) for tissue regeneration and repair, due to their proliferative and multipotential capabilities. Although the sheep is often used as a large animal model for translating potential therapies for musculoskeletal injury and repair, the characteristics of MSC from ovine bone marrow have been inadequately described. Histological and gene expression studies have previously shown that ovine MSC share similar properties with human and rodents MSC, including their capacity for clonogenic growth and multiple stromal lineage differentiation. In the present study, ovine bone marrow derived MSCs positively express cell surface markers associated with MSC such as CD29, CD44 and CD166, and lacked expression of CD14, CD31 and CD45. Under serum-deprived conditions, proliferation of MSC occurred in response to EGF, PDGF, FGF-2, IGF-1 and most significantly TGF-alpha. While subcutaneous transplantation of ovine MSC in association with a ceramic HA/TCP carrier into immunocomprimised mice resulted in ectopic osteogenesis, adipogenesis and haematopoietic-support activity, transplantation of these cells within a gelatin sponge displayed partial chondrogenesis. The comprehensive characterisation of ovine MSC described herein provides important information for future translational studies involving ovine MSC.

Abstract
Transdifferentiation of transplanted marrow stromal cells (MSCs) and reactive changes of glial cells in a completely transected rat spinal cord were examined. Marrow stromal cells exhibited 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) at the plasma membrane and this has allowed their identification after transplantation by immunoelectron microscopy. In the control rats, the lesion site showed activated microglia/neural macrophages and some elongated cells, whose cytoplasm was immunoreactive for CNP. Cells designated as CNP1 and apparently host-derived expressed CXCR4. In experimental rats receiving MSCs transplantation, CNP1 cells were increased noticeably. This was coupled with the occurrence of a different subset of CNP cells whose plasma membrane was CNP-immunoreactive and expressed CXCR4. These cells, designated as CNP2, enclosed both myelinated and unmyelinated neurites thus assuming a spatial configuration resembling that of Schwann cells. A remarkable feature was the extensive ramifications of CNP1 cells with long filopodia processes delineating the CNP2 cells and their associated neurites, forming many perineurial-like compartments. Present results have shown that CNP2 cells considered to be MSCs-derived can transform into cells resembling Schwann cells based on their spatial relation with the regenerating nerve fibers, whereas the CNP1 glial cells participate in formation of perineurial compartments, probably serving as conduits to guide the nerve fiber growth. The chemotactic migration of CNP cells either derived from host tissue or MSCs bearing CXCR4 may be attracted by stromal derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) produced locally. The coordinated cellular interaction between transplanted MSCs and local glial cells may promote the growth of nerve fibers through the lesion site.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are increasingly being reported as occurring in a variety of tissues. Although MSCs from human bone marrow are relatively easy to harvest, the isolation of rodent MSCs is more difficult, thereby limiting the number of experiments in vivo. To determine a suitable cell source, we isolated rat MSCs from bone marrow, synovium, periosteum, adipose, and muscle and compared their properties for yield, expansion, and multipotentiality. After two passages, the cells in each population were CD11b (-), CD45 (-), and CD90 (+). The colony number per nucleated cells derived from synovium was 100-fold higher than that for cells derived from bone marrow. With regard to expansion potential, synovium-derived cells were the highest in colony-forming efficiency, fold increase, and growth kinetics. An in vitro chondrogenesis assay demonstrated that the pellets derived from synovium were heavier, because of their greater production of cartilage matrix, than those from other tissues, indicating their superiority in chondrogenesis. Synovium-derived cells retained their chondrogenic potential after a few passages. The Oil Red-O positive colony-rate assay demonstrated higher adipogenic potential in synovium- and adipose-derived cells. Alkaline phosphatase activity was greater in periosteum- and muscle-derived cells during calcification. The yield and proliferation potential of rat MSCs from solid tissues was much better than those from bone marrow. In particular, synovium-derived cells had the greatest potential for both proliferation and chondrogenesis, indicating their usefulness for cartilage study in a rat model.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult pluripotent cells that are considered to be an important resource for human cell-based therapies. Understanding the clinical potential of MSCs may require their use in preclinical large-animal models, such as pigs. The objectives of the present study were 1) to establish porcine MSC (pMSC) cultures; 2) to optimize in vitro pMSC culture conditions, 3) to investigate whether pMSCs are amenable to genetic manipulation, and 4) to determine pMSC reprogramming potential using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). The pMSCs isolated from bone marrow grew, attached to plastic with a fibroblast-like morphology, and expressed the mesenchymal surface marker THY1 but not the hematopoietic marker ITGAM. Furthermore, pMSCs underwent lipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic differentiation when exposed to specific inducing conditions. The pMSCs grew well in a variety of media, and proliferative capacity was enhanced by culture under low oxygen atmosphere. Transient transduction of pMSCs and isogenic skin fibroblasts (SFs) with a human adenovirus carrying the gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP; Ad5-F35eGFP) resulted in more pMSCs expressing GFP compared with SFs. Cell lines with stable genetic modifications and extended expression of transgene were obtained when pMSCs were transfected with a plasmid containing the GFP gene. Infection of pMSC and SF cell lines by an adeno-associated virus resulted in approximately 12% transgenic cells, which formed transgenic clonal lines after propagation as single cells. The pMSCs can be expanded in vitro and used as nuclear donors to produce SCNT embryos. Thus, pMSCs are an attractive cell type for large-animal autologous and allogenic cell therapy models and for SCNT transgenesis.

Abstract
Bone marrow contains a population of stem-like cells that can differentiate into neurons or glia. Stromal cells from green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing mice were isolated by initial separation on a density gradient and then cultured as adherent cells on plastic that proliferated in culture to confluency with a typical flattened elongative morphology. The large majority of the isolated stromal cells were GFP expressing and immunopositive for collagen type I, fibronectin, and CD44. Transplantation of these cells by direct microinjection into the demyelinated spinal cord of the immunosuppressed rat resulted in remyelination. The remyelinated axons showed characteristics of both central and peripheral myelination as observed by electron microscopy; conduction velocity of the axons was improved. GFP-positive cells and myelin profiles were observed in the remyelinated spinal cord region, indicating that the donor-isolated stromal cells were responsible for the formation of the new myelin. The GFP-positive cells were colocalized with myelin basic protein-positive and P0-positive cellular elements. These findings indicate that cells contained within the stromal cell fraction of the mononuclear cell layer of bone marrow can form functional myelin during transplantation into demyelinated spinal cord.

Abstract
The bone marrow stroma, consisting of adipocytes, fibroblasts, and osteoblasts, develops from a multipotent mesenchymal progenitor. The recently described nuclear hormone receptors, known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), regulate transcription of genes involved in adipogenesis. Consistent with this is the observation that PPARalpha-null mice exhibit greater extramedullary adipose stores compared with their wild-type controls. To determine if the status of the PPARalpha protein also influenced bone marrow stromal cell differentiation, this study compared the frequency of colony forming units for bone marrow adipocytes (CFU-A), alkaline phosphatase-positive fibroblasts (CFU-F/ALP+), and osteoblasts (CFU-O) between wild-type and PPARalpha-null mice. The CFU frequencies for all lineages were not significantly different in either gender at age 3 weeks, independent of the PPARalpha background. However, histologic analysis showed that the cross-sectional area of the femur in male PPARalpha null mice was significantly greater than that of PPARalpha-null female mice and of both wild-type genders. This was due to an increased marrow cavity space rather than an increased cortical bone area. In addition, while the percentage area of cortical bone occupied by lacunae was equivalent in the PPARalpha and wild-type males, this value was significantly greater in PPARalpha-null female mice compared with wild-type females. At age 3-6 months, no significant difference was observed in the CFU-A frequencies, based on either PPARalpha status or gender. The wild-type male CFU-F/ALP+ frequency was significantly greater than the CFU-F/ALP+ in all other groups. Although the PPARalpha status had no influence on the CFU-O frequency, the number of CFU-O was greater in male than in female mice. Sequential incubation of stromal cells in either adipogenic- or osteoblastic-inducing media did not alter the number of CFU-A or CFU-O. These results indicate that the PPARalpha-null genotype does not influence bone marrow stromal cell numbers.

Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cells isolated from a model of osteogenesis imperfecta (oim) mice, were transduced with a retrovirus (BAG) carrying the LacZ and neor genes after passage 21. The transduced cells retained the ability to express alkaline phosphatase activity in vitro when treated with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein two (rhBMP-2), formed cartilage in vitro in aggregate cultures and formed bone in ceramic cubes after 6 weeks of implantation in nude mice. X-gal staining of ceramic cubes seeded with the transduced cells demonstrated the presence of LacZ-positive cells on the edges of bone and also in the lacunae of the newly formed bone 6 weeks after implantation. After infusion into femurs of oim mice, the transduced cells were detected in the marrow cavity and on the edges of the trabecular bone of the injected and contralateral femurs by X-gal staining and PCR analysis at 4, 10, 20, 30 and 40 days after injection. The LacZ gene was also detected in the lung and liver of the recipient mice at 4 and 10 days after injection but not at later time-periods. The present findings suggest that long-term cultured bone marrow stromal cells from osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) animals have the potential to traffic through the circulatory system, home to bone, form bone and continue to express exogenous genes. These findings open the possibility of using these cells as vehicles to deliver normal genes to bone as an alternative approach for the treatment of some forms of OI and certain other bone acquired and genetic diseases.

Abstract
To understand whether osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) could result from defective differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, we investigated the osteogenic potential of bone marrow stromal cells from a mouse model of human OI (oim). Bone marrow was flushed from the femurs and tibias of oim and normal littermates using a syringe with Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium, and cells were allowed to adhere to flasks. Adherent cells were trypsinized and passaged weekly at a 1:4 split. The established stromal cells were assessed for collagen synthesis, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin production in the presence or absence of rhBMP-2. The stromal cells were also assessed for mineralization by Von-Kossa staining and for exogenous gene transfer using adeno-lacZ and a retroviral vector. The bone marrow stromal cells from oim mice synthesized alpha 1(I) homotrimers as expected, whereas the stromal cells from the normal littermates synthesized alpha 1(I)2 alpha 2(I) heterotrimers. The bone marrow stromal cells exhibited low levels of alkaline phosphatase activity under basal conditions: upon treatment with rhBMP-2, the level of the alkaline phosphatase activity increased approximately 40-fold. Cytochemical staining of the cells confirmed the expression of alkaline phosphatase by the oim stromal cells and its augmentation by rhBMP-2. Osteocalcin production in the stromal cells was also enhanced approximately threefold by rhBMP-2. oim stromal cells grown in the presence of beta-glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid demonstrated Von-Kossa-positive solid deposits after 3 weeks in culture. Ten days after infection with adeno-lacZ, approximately 70% of oim stromal cells expressed the transgene product, and after infection with a retrovirus, approximately 20% of the cells expressed the transgene. These data indicate that bone marrow stromal cells, have osteogenic potential, and also the potential to be transduced with exogenous genes. Under basal conditions, however, the stromal cells from oim mice exhibited significantly lower levels of alkaline phosphatase activity than their normal littermates.

Abstract
The role of glucocorticoids in bone formation presents a problem because although pharmacological doses in vivo give rise to osteoporosis, physiological concentrations are required for osteoblast (OB) differentiation in vitro. To try and rationalize this dichotomy, we investigated the effect of dexamethasone on the recruitment of OB precursors present in bone marrow. Using the CFU-f assay, we can measure (1) total colony formation; (2) the osteoblastic differentiation of the colonies defined as their ability to express alkaline phosphatase, synthesize collagen, and to calcify; and (3) colony expansion as either average colony surface area or average colony number. In control cultures and in the presence of 10(-10)-10(-9) M dexamethasone, colony formation and total cell number was maximal, but the addition of PGE2 had no effect on colony number and very few colonies expressed the OB phenotype. In the presence of 10(-8)-10(-7) M dexamethasone, colony numbers and total cell numbers were reduced but were increased by the addition of PGE2, the average colony cell number and surface area were relatively unchanged and a proportion of the colonies expressed APase, calcified and synthesized collagen. In cultures containing 10(-6)-10(-5) M dexamethasone, colony numbers were further reduced but were stimulated by the addition of PGE2 and some colonies differentiated; however, colony expansion was dramatically reduced by up to 80%. These results suggest that physiological levels of glucocorticoids are necessary for OB differentiation and allow the control of OB recruitment by PGE2. High levels of glucocorticoids drastically reduce proliferation of the OB precursors leading to glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a potent neutrophil chemotactic peptide that elicits pleiotropic biological effects is secreted in large amounts by normal human osteoblastic and bone marrow osteoprogenitor stromal (HBMS) cells in response to IL-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. In the present study we investigated the regulation of IL-8 gene expression by IL-1beta, osteotropic hormones, and protein kinase inhibitors in primary cultures of HBMS cells. The treatment of HBMS cells with IL-1beta increased the steady-state levels of IL-8 mRNA in a dose- and time-dependent fashion and was detectable within 1 h, reached maximal by 4 h, and remained elevated at 24 h, whereas parathyroid hormone (10(-7) and 10(-8) M) had no effect on IL-8 mRNA. Both synthetic and natural glucocorticoids dexamethasone (10(-7)-10(-10) M) and hydrocortisone (10(-6)-10(-8) M) inhibited IL-1beta-stimulated IL-8 mRNA expression. The suppressive effect of dexamethasone on IL-1beta-induced IL-8 mRNA was not observed in the presence of cycloheximide (5 microg/ml), indicating that the dexamethasone-mediated repression of IL-8 gene expression also depends on new protein synthesis. Experiments with actinomycin D demonstrated that IL-8 mRNA is long-lived and that glucocorticoids down-regulate IL-8 gene expression mainly by decreasing the mRNA stability in normal HBMS cells. Furthermore, as determined by nuclear run-on analysis, IL-1beta increased the rate of transcription of IL-8 gene and dexamethasone did not affect the IL-1beta-induced transcription of IL-8. 1-(5-Isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine, HCl (50 microM) and staurosporine (1 microM), potent inhibitors of protein kinase C, and genistein (100 microM), a specific protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor blocked IL-1beta-induced IL-8 gene expression. Because curcumin (20 microM), an inhibitor of c-jun/AP-1 and protein kinases, also blocked IL-1beta-stimulated IL-8 gene expression implicating c-JUN/AP-1 and protein phosphorylation in the induction of IL-8 gene expression by IL-1beta, we conclude that the regulation of IL-8 mRNA by IL-1beta is mediated via protein kinase-dependent signal transduction pathways. Our accumulated results have demonstrated that glucocorticoid suppression of IL-1beta-induced IL-8 mRNA occurs at the levels of post-transcription (mRNA stability) and protein synthesis.

Abstract
Mechanical load-related effects on bone marrow stromal cells in vitro have been investigated. A dose response of a cyclical load of 1 Hz between 350 ustrain and 2500 ustrain applied to 10-day-old cultures resulted in elevated alkaline phosphatase levels and the number of cells expressing this protein after 2 days. No significant changes in the number of cells expressing or the production of collagen type 1 was observed. A critical stage of development of the cultures must be reached before load-related elevation in alkaline phosphatase expression could be measured independent of the stage at which loading was applied. Using a prostaglandin inhibitor at concentrations previously used in vivo, the load response was abolished. We have demonstrated that bone marrow stromal cells are load responsive in culture and have made preliminary studies into determining the involvement of prostaglandins in this process.

Abstract
We recently reported that picomolar doses of norethindrone (NET), a synthetic analog of 19-nortestosterone, significantly stimulated human TE85 osteosarcoma cell proliferation, differentiation, and activity in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the possibility that NET interacts with another osteogenic agent, i.e., fluoride, to stimulate human TE85 osteosarcoma cell proliferation, differentiation, and activities. Bone cell proliferation was measured by the stimulation in [3H]thymidine incorporation. Differentiation was monitored by the increase in alkaline phosphatase-specific activity. Osteoblastic activity was assessed by the stimulations in collagen synthesis and in osteocalcin secretion (in the presence of 1 nM 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3). When the human TE85 cells were incubated with mitogenic doses of NET and fluoride concurrently, the stimulatory effects of the two agents on these parameters exhibited no significant interaction. The enhancing effect of NET on the osteogenic effect of fluoride was not due to a shift of the fluoride dose response curve. Pretreatment with NET for 24 h followed by a treatment with a mitogenic dose (i.e., 100 microM) of fluoride for an additional 24 h significantly and synergistically potentiated the effects of fluoride on the [3H]thymidine incorporation, alkaline phosphatase-specific activity, collagen synthesis, and osteocalcin secretion, compared with those with the subsequent vehicle (0.05% ethanol) treatments. In contrast, pretreatment with fluoride for 24 h before the addition of NET for 24 h did not produce significant synergistic stimulations in the test parameters. Pretreatment of TE85 cells with the same doses of dihydrotestosterone or progesterone prior to treatment with fluoride under the same conditions did not induce synergistic potentiation of fluoride in [3H]thymidine incorporation, suggesting that the synergistic interaction with fluoride is probably not a common property of anabolic sex steroids. In summary, we found that: (1) the osteogenic effects of fluoride and NET were additive when cells were treated with both agents concurrently; (2) a 24-h pretreatment with picomolar doses of NET potentiated the osteogenic actions of fluoride in human TE85 osteosarcoma cells; and (3) pretreatment with NET produced a subsequent fluoride response that was synergistic. In conclusion, these findings led us to speculate that the osteogenic actions of NET and fluoride act through different mechanisms, and that NET at low doses has a permissive effect on the osteogenic effects of fluoride, and as such NET may be used in concert with fluoride to increase osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and activity.

Abstract
The fibroblast-like cells in the marrow stromal system were separated from endothelial cells and macrophages by negative selection of magnetic beads. Immunocytochemistry confirmed that these fibroblast-like cells expressed fibronectin and collagen Type III, but not Factor VIII and epithelial membrane antigen (endothelial cell markers) or Mac I (macrophage marker). The fibroblast-like stromal cells (FSC) synthesized the insulin-like growth factors (IGF)-I and -II in amounts equivalent to that produced by unfractionated marrow stromal cells (UMSC); in both, the concentration of IGF-II was 10 times higher than that of IGF-I. Northern analysis revealed that FSC and UMSC expressed identical patterns of mRNAs for IGF-I and transforming growth factor (TGF) -beta 2, for osteopontin, and for procollagen Types I and III (Type I > Type III). Type II procollagen mRNA was not expressed in both cell populations. The TGF-beta 2 gene mRNA was expressed at a lower level by the FSC than UMSC. The pattern of gene expression in these cells is consistent with an osteoprogenitor phenotype. Both FSCs and UMSCs express parathyroid hormone (PTH) and estrogen receptor genes (rtPCR technique). The study provides additional evidence that fibroblast-like marrow stromal cells have an osteoblast signature, and that they are largely responsible for the osteogenic performance of cells in unfractionated marrow.

Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cells comprise a heterogeneous population including fibroblastic, adipocytic, hemopoietic, and osteogenic cells. Although the conditions under which different lineages are regulated have not been fully elucidated, dexamethasone clearly stimulates osteogenic expression in stromal cultures. The purpose of this study was to begin to elucidate and quantify some of the subpopulations present when rat bone marrow stromal cells are grown with or without dexamethasone under conditions favoring bone formation. Bone marrow stromal cells from young adult rats were cultured with ascorbic acid, beta-glycerophosphate, and with or without dexamethasone for various periods of time. Culture dishes were then analyzed for cell counts, or stained with either histochemical or immunohistochemical stains, and colony types were quantitated, or cells were processed for flow cytometry. Dexamethasone significantly increased the number of alkaline phosphatase (AP) positive colonies, von Kossa positive bone nodules, alpha-naphthylbutyrate esterase positive colonies, and ED2 positive (macrophage) colonies. The number of adipocytic foci was largely unaffected in these experiments. Flow cytometry confirmed colony counts and showed stimulation by dexamethasone of AP positive cells and macrophages, and in addition, the reduction of hemopoietic cells expressing leukocyte common antigen. These data show conclusively that when rat bone marrow stromal populations are grown under conditions stimulating osteoprogenitor differentiation and bone formation, the stromal subpopulation make-up, including expression of hemopoietic lineages, is markedly altered.

Abstract
Effects of dexamethasone and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] were studied in cultures of adult human marrow stromal cells. In primary culture, dexamethasone (10(-8) M) increased the number of fibroblast colonies formed but decreased their average size. The number of colonies expressing alkaline phosphatase activity was increased, consistent with the enhancement of osteogenic differentiation by this glucocorticoid. In secondary culture, osteogenic differentiation was assessed by measurement of the steady-state levels of particular mRNAs that are characteristic of cells of the osteoblast lineage. The mRNAs for alpha 1(I)-procollagen, alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin and bone sialoprotein were expressed under all culture conditions used. In contrast, osteocalcin mRNA expression was detectable only in cultures treated with 1,25(OH)2D3 (10(-8) M). Addition of 1,25(OH)2D3 to control increased the expression of the mRNAs for alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin but had no significant effect on bone sialoprotein expression. The highest levels of expression of the mRNAs for alkaline phosphatase, bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin were observed in dexamethasone-treated cultures to which 1,25(OH)2D3 had been added. These results demonstrate that, as earlier found in other species, dexamethasone and 1,25(OH)2D3 promote the osteogenic differentiation of human marrow stromal cells as measured by expression of these osteogenic markers.

Abstract
In order to examine the mechanism of the anabolic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone formation, human PTH(1-34) [hPTH(1-34)] (30 micrograms/kg) was injected subcutaneously to 9-week-old rats 5 times a week for 1 or 3 weeks. Trabecular bone volume (BV/TV) in the tibial metaphysis was not significantly different between the PTH- and vehicle-treated groups, but the parameters related to bone formation, including osteoid surface (OS/BS), mineralizing surface (MS/BS), mineral apposition rate (MAR), and bone formation rate (BFR/BS), were significantly increased as early as 1 week after PTH treatment. And the parameters related to bone resorption including eroded surface (ES/BS) and osteoclast number (N.Oc/BS) were also significantly increased as early as 1 week after PTH treatment. Treatment with PTH for 1 week induced no significant increase in bone mineral density at the femoral metaphysis, whereas the same treatment for 3 weeks induced a significant increase. When bone marrow cells isolated from femora and tibiae of either PTH- or vehicle-treated rats were cultured at a high density (2 x 10(7) cells/one well of 24-multiwell plate), cellular alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was significantly increased in the cells isolated from PTH-treated rats compared with vehicle-treated rats. When bone marrow cells were cultured at a low density (4 x 10(6) cells/a one well of 6-multiwell plate) to generate colonies (colony forming unit-fibroblastic, CFU-F), PTH induced apparent increases in both the total number of CFU-F and the number of ALP-positive CFU-F.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have investigated both constitutive- and cytokine-induced secretion of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and its regulation by dexamethasone and 17 beta-estradiol in normal human bone marrow stromal (HBMS), osteoblast-like cells (hOB), and osteosarcoma MG-63 cells. Although HBMS cells secrete low levels of IL-8 constitutively, treatment with IL-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induced IL-8 secretion. Their effects were synergistic but IL-8 production was not affected by 17 beta-estradiol. Human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells also secreted low levels of IL-8 constitutively; the production was induced by IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha and was also not affected by 17 beta-estradiol. The magnitude of the response to cytokine stimulation of IL-8 in MG-63 cells was much lower than that of HBMS and hOB cells, indicating differences in response in normal and osteoblastic osteosarcoma cells. Dexamethasone (10(-7) M) significantly inhibited IL-1 beta plus TNF-alpha stimulated IL-8 production in HBMS, MG-63, and hOB cells. The accumulated results demonstrate that IL-8 is secreted by HBMS, MG-63, and hOB cells, suggesting that IL-8 may play a role in the regulation of bone cell function. These data also emphasize the importance of glucocorticoids in controlling cytokine secretion in HBMS, hOB, and MG-63 cells.

Abstract
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) may affect bone metabolism in a variety of ways. These may include potential indirect effects such as on gastrointestinal hormone secretion, liver function, especially cytochrome P450 isoenzymes, metabolic biorhythms where established, and the continuous compared with the intermittent supply of nutrients. More substantial evidence exists for the reduction of bone formation, parathyroid hormone secretion, and calcitriol production in TPN patients along with high urinary calcium excretion. This review considers both aluminum loading and vitamin D sensitivity as etiologic factors and suggests that aluminum may have played a primary role in the pathogenesis of these abnormalities in bone and mineral metabolism, but that vitamin D may have potentiated the deleterious actions of aluminum. While the sources of aluminum contamination of TPN solutions have been identified and efforts are under way to reduce its contamination of TPN solutions, the persistence of low bone mass measurement in TPN patients is a problem that has been identified repeatedly, does not have a current explanation, and requires further study.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) loading is associated with reduced bone formation and osteomalacia in human and certain animal models. However, uncertainty exists as to the cellular effect(s) of Al as both inhibition and stimulation of osteoblast proliferation have been reported. Furthermore, the extent to which Al affects osteoprogenitor cell populations is unknown. To determine the cellular effects of Al in the rat, an animal model in which Al bone disease has been produced, we compared the in vitro effect of 10-50 microns Al on the proliferation and hydroxyproline collagen formation of marrow osteoprogenitor stromal cell populations and perinatal rat calvarial osteoblasts. In subconfluent cultures, Al suppressed proliferation of both marrow fibroblast-like stromal cells and calvarial osteoblasts. In confluent cultures, however, Al selectively stimulated periosteal fibroblast and osteoblast DNA synthesis and collagen (hydroxyproline) production, both in the presence or absence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Osteocalcin was not detected in osteoblast-conditioned media or extracellular matrix. These observations suggest that the bone formation defect associated with Al toxicity in growing rats may be a function of impaired patterns of osteoprogenitor/osteoblast proliferation. Furthermore, the Al-stimulated increase in collagen formation is consistent with the development of osteomalacia in Al-toxic humans and animals. The mechanism by which Al stimulated DNA synthesis and collagen production in more mature cultures awaits further study.

Abstract
Previous in vitro studies have shown that the effect of fluoride to increase avian osteoblast-like cell proliferation was dependent on the phosphate concentration. In vitro studies have further revealed that fluoride could also have direct effects on osteoblast-like cells to increase phosphate uptake and transiently increase cytosolic calcium. The current studies were intended to determine whether fluoride could increase net 45Ca uptake by human osteosarcoma (SaOS-2) cells and, if so, whether those effects would also be phosphate dependent. The results of these studies indicate that fluoride increased net 45Ca uptake by SaOS-2 cells, with biphasic dose and time dependencies. After 30 minutes of exposure, net 45Ca uptake was increased to a greater extent by 50 microM fluoride (217 +/- 16% of control, P < 0.001) than by 200 microM fluoride; and the stimulatory effect of 100 microM fluoride on net 45Ca uptake was greater after 20 minutes (187 +/- 22% of control, P < 0.001) than after 60 minutes (122 +/- 7% of control, P < 0.05). These effects of fluoride to increase net 45Ca uptake were dependent on the phosphate concentration in the medium. Fluoride had no effect on net 45Ca uptake in medium containing 0.4 mM phosphate, but increased net 45Ca uptake in medium containing 1.2 or 2.0 mM phosphate (P < 0.005). As the phosphate concentration was increased, the biphasic fluoride dose-response curve was shifted to a lower range of fluoride concentrations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The localization of estrogen receptors (ERs) in bone marrow cells was studied immunoelectron microscopically in the femurs of estrogen-treated male Japanese quail. The electron-dense reaction product showing ER localization was not detected in the bone marrow cells of the male quail. After 48 h of estrogen treatment, nuclear reaction product was observed in many mononuclear cells in the bone marrow. Most were located in the marrow stroma, and they were divided into undifferentiated and differentiated type cells, characterized by poorly and well-developed cytoplasm, respectively. Some ER-positive cells were situated in the hematopoietic tissue and had moderately developed cytoplasm. Thus, estrogen target cells may be present in the stroma and hematopoietic tissue of bone marrow.

Abstract
During continuous culture with serial passage, the human osteosarcoma cell line SaOS-2 showed a time-dependent decrease in skeletal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Because this was indicative of heterogeneity, subpopulations of SaOS-2 cells were isolated from replicate low-density cultures. The subpopulations were less heterogeneous and more stable (with respect to ALP) than the parent population. ALP specific activity in the subpopulations ranged from 0.05 to 2.3 U/mg protein, and cytochemical analyses indicated multiple steady-state levels of ALP activity per cell. The amount of ALP activity in SaOS-2 subpopulations was proportional to collagen production ([3H]proline incorporation into collagenase-digestible protein; r = .84, P less than .005), and to parathyroid hormone (PTH)-linked synthesis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) (r = .88, P less than .01). From these data, we inferred that ALP activity in SaOS-2 cells can provide a useful index of the osteoblastic phenotype, and that ALP activity, collagen production, and PTH-linked adenylate cyclase were coordinately regulated in these osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells (ie, selection of subpopulations for ALP activity coselected for collagen synthesis and PTH-linked synthesis of cAMP). Further comparative studies showed that micromolar fluoride concentrations stimulated cell proliferation ([3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA) in low-ALP SaOS-2 subpopulations, but not in high-ALP cells (P less than .001), and that this differential sensitivity to fluoride was associated with an inverse correlation between fluoride-sensitive acid phosphatase and ALP activities (r = -.91, P less than .001).

Abstract
Fibroblast-like marrow stromal cells are believed to play a role in the maintenance of osteoblast populations at the marrow-bone interface. We now report that this interaction may be very specific. Stromal cell conditioned medium (SC-CM) stimulated DNA synthesis and proliferation in culture of neonatal rat calvarial osteoblasts at low concentrations (1.25-5%), but was inhibitory at 10%. At growth promoting effective concentrations, the activity of osteoblast alkaline phosphatase was decreased. This action was selective since SC-CM failed to promote the growth of rat calvarial fibroblasts. Characterization of the SC-CM indicated the cells produced IGF-I and -II and a wide range of molecular weight fractions with putative stimulatory action (FPLC analysis using Superose 12 and 6 gel permeation columns). HPAE-PAD analysis showed that some elements were glycosylated, and the composition suggested the presence of N- and O-linked oligosaccharide chains. Because rat marrow stromal fibroblast-like cells produce a number of osteotropic factors which affect calvarial osteoblast growth, these interactions may be important to considerations about the etiology of the osteoporoses.
