  • Title: Can Extracorporeal Shockwave Promote Osteogenesis of Equine Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells In Vitro?

    Abstract:
    Both bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMDMSCs) and extracorporeal shockwave (ESW) have shown promise for enhancing fracture repair. If exposure of BMDMSCs to ESW enhances osteogenic differentiation, these therapies may be combined in vivo or used as a method for preconditioning BMDMSCs. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of ESW on the osteogenic ability of equine BMDMSCs. We hypothesized that ESW would promote osteogenesis evidenced by increased gene expression, alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) expression, slide morphologic score, and protein expression. BMDMSCs were evaluated from six horses. BMDMSCs were culture expanded to passage 3, dissociated, then placed in conical tubes. Treatment cells ("shocked") were exposed to 500 pulses at 0.16 mJ/mm2 energy. Cells were then reseeded and grown in either growth medium or osteogenic medium. Cellular proliferation and trilineage potential were determined. Cellular morphology was scored and cells were harvested at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days for rtPCR gene expression of osteogenic markers [osteonectin (ONT), osteocalcin (OCN), ALPL, collagen type 3 (COL3), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2)]. Media supernatants were evaluated for secretion of BMP-2, VEGF, TGFβ, and PGE2 and cellular lysates were evaluated for ALPL production. There was no difference between the proliferative ability of shocked cells versus unshocked cells in either growth medium or osteogenic medium. ALPL production was greater in shocked cells maintained in osteogenic medium versus unshocked cells in osteogenic medium at day 3 (P < 0.005). Independent of media type, ESW caused a decrease in VEGF and TGFβ production at day 3. No significant increases in gene expression were identified by rtPCR. Exposure of BMDMSCs to ESW does not result in negative effects. An initial significant increase in ALPL was detected but no persistent osteogenic effect was observed with cell expansion.
