ABSTRACT
Aim To compare the effects of BoneCeramic and Bio-Oss on the proliferation, adhesion and osteogenic differentiation of dog bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (DBMSCs) in vitro. Methods DBM-SCs were isolated and cultured in vitro and identified for osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. CCK-8 was used to detect the effects of BoneCeramic and Bio-Oss bone meal extracts on the vitality of DBMSCs. SEM was used to observe the adhesion of DBMSCs on the surface of bone meal. ALP was used to quantitatively detect the osteogenic differentiation of DBMSCs on the surface of bone meal, and the relative expressions of OPN, OCN, RUNX-2, and ALP genes were detected by RT-PCR. Results The cells isolated and cultured from dog bone marrow conformed to the characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells. CCK-8 results showed that the stock solutions of Bio-Oss and Bone Ceramic had no obvious cytotoxic effect on DBMSCs. SEM showed that DBMSCs were distributed more widely on the surface of BoneCeramic than that of Bio-Oss. ALP quantitative detection showed that DBMSCs on the BoneCeramic surface were more conducive to its osteogenic differentiation than Bio-Oss, and it also increased the expression of OPN, OCN, RUNX-2 and ALP genes. Conclusions In vitro studies show that both Bio-Oss and BoneCeramic have good biocompatibility. Compared with Bio-Oss bone meal, BoneCeramic is more conducive to the osteogenic differentiation of DBMSCs.
