Currently, combining biodegradable polymeric scaffolds with living cells for bone repair has received significant attention. Ideal bone tissue engineering scaffolds should be biocompatible, biodegradable, and mechanically robust and have the ability to regulate cell function. The aim of this study was to fabricate graphene oxide-impregnated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)–gelatin (GO–PLGA–Gel) nanofibrous matrices that stimulate osteoblast proliferation and differentiation for bone regeneration. The GO– PLGA–Gel nanofibrous matrices were comprised of interconnected continuous fibres with threedimensional porous structure that were successfully fabricated via an electrospinning process. The morphology, surface properties, mechanical properties and chemical composition of nanofibrous matrices were characterized by SEM, ATR-FITR, XRD, a materials testing machine and water contact angle measurements. Subsequently, fluorescence staining and an MTT assay were utilized to observe the influence of the Gel and GO on the MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and attachment in vitro. In addition, osteogenic differentiation was determined from the alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), expression of osteogenic marker genes and alizarin red staining. The results demonstrated that the MC3T3-E1 cells attachment and proliferation on GO–PLGA–Gel nanofibrous matrices were much higher than on the pure PLGA nanofibrous matrices. More importantly, GO–PLGA–Gel nanofibrous matrices significantly increased the alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), expression of osteogenesis-related genes and calcium deposition of MC3T3-E1 cells. Our data indicated that blending GO with Gel retained the osteogenesis nature of GO without negatively influencing the proliferation cell effect of the Gel. Therefore, it is concluded that the GO–PLGA–Gel nanofibrous matrices are versatile biocompatible scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
Currently, combining biodegradable polymeric scaffolds with living cells for bone repair has received significant attention.
One of the goals of bone tissue engineering is to mimic native ECM in architecture and function, creating scaffolds with excellent biocompatibility, osteoinductive ability and mechanical properties. The aim of this study was to fabricate nanofibrous matrices by electrospinning a blend of poly (L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), hydroxyapatite (HA), and grapheme oxide (GO) as a favourable platform for bone tissue engineering. The morphology, biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and biological activity of all nanofibrous matrices were compared. The data indicate that the hydrophilicity and protein adsorption rate of the fabricated matrices were significantly increased by blending with a small amount of HA and GO. Furthermore, GO significantly boosted the tensile strength of the nanofibrous matrices, and the PLGA/GO/HA nanofibrous matrices can serve as mechanically stable scaffolds for cell growth. For further test in vitro, MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured on the PLGA/HA/GO nanofbrous matrices to observe various cellular activities and cell mineralization. The results indicated that the PLGA/GO/HA nanofibrous matrices significantly enhanced adhesion, and proliferation in MCET3-E1 cells and functionally promoted alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, the osteogenesis-related gene expression and mineral deposition. Therefore, the PLGA/HA/GO composite nanofibres are excellent and versatile scaffolds for applications in bone tissue regeneration.

Objective To investigate the effect of polydopamine-modified poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and loaded with insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) on the material performance,and proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.Methods The PLGA porous microcarriers were prepared by emulsion-solvent evaporation.The microcarriers were surface-modified with polydopamine and loaded with IGF-1.The surface morphology,surface groups and hydrophilicity of PLGA porous microcarriers were determined by scanning electron microscopy,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and contact angle tester before and after polydopamine modification.Lysozyme was used as the model protein,and BCA method was used to examine the protein adsorption of the material before and after the modification.PLGA microcarriers (PLGA group),polydopamine-modified PLGA microcarriers (PD-PLGA group) and IGF-l-loaded polydopamine-modified PLGA microcarriers (PD-PLGA/IGF-1 group) were co-cultured with MC3T3-E 1 cells,respectively.The effect of polydopamine-modified and IGF-l-loaded PLGA microcarriers on proliferation,adhesion and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells were determined by MTT assay,DIPI staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay.Results Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface of PLGA microcarriers was porous.Infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that polydopamine was successfully adhered to the surface of PLGA microcarriers.The hydrophilicity of PLGA microcarriers modified by polydopamine was greatly improved,and the adsorption capacity of surface protein was increased significantly (both P<0.05).At 7 d after co-culture with MC3T3-E 1 cells,the cell proliferation and ALP activity in the PD-PLGA group and PD-PLGA/IGF-1 group were significantly higher than those in the PLGA group (all P<0.05).At 3 d after co-culture with MC3T3-E1 cells,DIPI staining showed that the number of adherent ceils in the PD-PLGA group and PD-PLGA/IGF-1 group was higher than that in the PLGA group.Conclusion After the surface modification with polydopamine,the biological properties of PLGA porous microcarriers can be significantly improved;and loaded with IGF-1,it can significantly promote cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.
颈椎病的发病率逐年增高,保守治疗无效的患者多寻求手术治疗。颈椎前路手术因其直接接触椎间盘及后方骨赘对脊髓的压迫,常能达到彻底的减压效果,同时保证椎体良好的骨性融合,维持正常的椎间高度和生理曲度,已经成为治疗颈椎病的最常见手术方式。颈椎前路手术方式分为融合性手术与非融合性手术。融合性手术历来被认为是颈椎前路手术方式的金标准,目前常用类型分为:单纯植骨组,自体髂骨植骨内固定组,钛网钛板内固定组,椎间融合器( Cage)和椎体间零切迹ZERO-P组。非融合性手术是上世纪末出现的一种新方法,目的是保留手术节段运动功能,对年轻患者适用。本文通过对各种颈前路手术技术的对比分析,阐明不同术式的优缺点。
腰腿痛在临床上十分常见,Golub等〔1,2〕提出韧带结构可能是椎间孔内的异常结构,并推断其在腰腿痛中的作用。随后人们逐渐意识到并肯定了椎间孔韧带在腰腿痛中的作用,但也有越来越多的学者认为椎间孔韧带结构是椎间孔内正常结构。为能更好理解椎间孔韧带在腰腿痛中的作用,本文将结合国内外研究资料,对腰椎间孔韧带相关知识作一综述。
The underlying molecular pathogenesis of osteosarcoma remains poorly understood. The transcription factor MEF2D promotes the survival of various types of cells and functions as an oncogene in liver cancer. However, its potential contribution to osteosarcoma has not been explored. In this study, we investigated MEF2D expression and function in osteosarcoma, finding that MEF2D elevation in osteosarcoma clinical specimens was associated with patients' poor prognosis. MEF2D suppression was shown to decrease the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells, while forced expression of MEF2D was able to promote the proliferation of normal bone fibroblast. Notably, MEF2D silencing abolished osteosarcoma tumorigenicity in an animal model. Mechanistic investigations revealed that MEF2D silencing triggered G2–M arrest in osteosarcoma cells by suppressing RPRM and CDKN1A. miR-144 was found to suppress the expression of MEF2D in osteosarcoma cells. Collectively, our results demonstrated that MEF2D is a candidate oncogene for osteosarcoma and a potential molecular target for cancer therapy.
目的:研究中国男性各年龄组的腰椎松质骨微结构、生物力学特征。方法取捐献的新鲜男性L3椎体32个,年龄20~59岁,分成四个年龄组,每组8个椎体。常规操作去除L3周围软组织及附属结构,只保留椎体部分。沿椎体正中矢状面将椎体切成左右两半。将每半制成规则试件,将试件平均分成两部分,行生物力学实验。对切下的试件周围松质骨喷金后,行扫描电镜观测,用 eflim 软件对骨小梁进行形态学分析、测量。结果20~29年龄组到30~39岁年龄组,横向、纵向骨小梁均明显减小(P<0.01)。横向、纵向骨髓腔高均明显增大(P<0.01)。40~49岁年龄组到50~59岁年龄组横向、纵向骨小梁均减小( P>0.05)。横向、纵向骨髓腔高均增大( P>0.05)。20~29年龄组到30~39岁年龄组,板状骨小梁厚明显减小( P<0.01),弹性模量和极限应力均减小( P<0.01)。40~49岁年龄组到50~60岁年龄组,板状骨小梁厚略减小( P>0.05)。极限应力显著减小( P<0.05),弹性模量减小( P>0.05)。结论中国男性20~59岁椎体横向、纵向骨小梁宽和板状骨小梁厚度均逐渐减小,横向和纵向骨髓腔的高逐渐增大,松质骨极限载荷和弹性模量随着年龄的增长均减小。随着年龄的变化,骨微结构、密度和生物力学的改变是引起骨质疏松和骨折危险性增加的根本原因。
Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are the common precursors for both osteoblasts and adipocytes. With aging, BMSC osteoblast differentiation decreases whereas BMSC differentiation into adipocytes increases, resulting in increased adipogenesis and bone loss. In the present study, we investigated the effect of asiatic acid (AA) on adipocytic differentiation of BMSCs. AA inhibited the adipogenic induction of lipid accumulation, activity of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and expression of marker genes in adipogenesis: peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor (PPAR)γ, adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (ap) 2, and adipsin. Further, we found that AA did not alter clonal expansion rate and expression of C/EBPβ, upstream key regulator of PPARγ, and binding activity of C/EBPβ to PPARγ promoter was not affected by AA as well. These findings suggest that AA may modulate differentiation of BMSCs to cause a lineage shift away from the adipocytes, and inhibition of PPARγ by AA is through C/EBPβ-independent mechanisms. Thus, AA could be a potential candidate for a novel drug against osteoporosis.
