To determine the effects of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP)-2 and -7, and serum, on extracellular matrix production by human septal chondrocytes in alginate.
Human nasal septal chondrocytes were expanded, suspended in alginate, and cultured in BMP-2 or 7, with and without serum. The optimal concentration of each growth factor was determined based on matrix production. Next, the synergistic effects of BMP-2 and -7 at optimal concentrations were determined on separate beads, based on matrix quantity and histology.
Matrix content was highest with concentrations of BMP-2 and -7 of 100 ng/ml and 20 ng/ml, respectively, with serum. Adding both BMP-2 and -7, with serum, increased matrix content by factors of 5.1 versus serum-only cultures, 2.7 versus only BMP-2 with serum, and 2.4 versus only BMP-7 with serum. All comparisons were statistically significant.
BMP-2 and -7 significantly increase production of extracellular matrix by septal chondrocytes suspended in alginate. The presence of serum improves matrix production.
BMP-2 and -7 have great potential for use in cartilage tissue engineering.
确定骨形态发生蛋白(BMP)-2和-7以及血清对藻酸盐中人类鼻中隔软骨细胞产生细胞外基质的影响。
将人类鼻中隔软骨细胞进行扩增,悬浮于藻酸盐中,并在添加或不添加血清的情况下,用BMP-2或BMP-7进行培养。根据基质产生情况确定每种生长因子的最佳浓度。接下来,基于基质数量和组织学,在单独的珠子上确定最佳浓度的BMP-2和BMP-7的协同作用。
在添加血清的情况下,BMP-2浓度为100 ng/ml、BMP-7浓度为20 ng/ml时,基质含量最高。同时添加BMP-2和BMP-7并添加血清时,与仅添加血清的培养物相比,基质含量增加了5.1倍;与仅添加BMP-2并添加血清的培养物相比,增加了2.7倍;与仅添加BMP-7并添加血清的培养物相比,增加了2.4倍。所有比较均具有统计学意义。
BMP-2和BMP-7可显著增加悬浮于藻酸盐中的鼻中隔软骨细胞的细胞外基质产生。血清的存在可改善基质产生。
BMP-2和BMP-7在软骨组织工程中具有巨大的应用潜力。
