Abstract

Studies comparing the osteogenic differentiation capacity of human bone marrow-derived stem cells (hBMSCs) and human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium have been inconclusive. Apart from chemical stimuli, mechanical stimuli have also been shown to be important in bone tissue engineering, which is referred to as functional bone tissue engineering. hBMSCs and hASCs have been shown to be sensitive to both chemical and mechanical stimuli. In an attempt to find a better seed cell in functional bone tissue engineering, we tried to quantify the osteogenic differentiation capacity of hBMSCs and hASCs under both mechanical and chemical stimuli. In this study, hBMSCs and hASCs were isolated from the same volunteers. Cells were cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium with and without exposure to cyclic tensile stretch (CTS). Quantitative measurement of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity revealed that the osteogenic differentiation capacity of hBMSCs was similar to that of hASCs in the early phase of differentiation in the CTS-stimulated groups. Quantitative measurement of mineralization showed that the late-phase osteogenic differentiation capacity of the hBMSCs was superior to that of hASCs in the CTS-stimulated groups. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed 5 and 10 days after cell culture. The results of the RT-PCR revealed that the osteogenic differentiation capacity of hASCs was inferior to that of hBMSCs both in the CTS-stimulated and unstimulated groups. All the results showed that both hBMSCs and hASCs were sensitive to CTS during the osteogenic differentiation process. This study compared the osteogenic differentiation capacity of hBMSCs and hASCs in response to mechanical stimulations and has important implications for the use of stem cells in functional bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
