Comparison of the chondrogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow and umbilical cord blood intended for cartilage tissue engineering.

Cartilage tissue engineering/cell therapy offer new insights to cure these articular disorders. Since the first generation of cartilage tissue engineering led to a poor quality cartilage rich in the hyaline cartilage atypical type I collagen, it has been followed with improved generations. One way to improve these strategies was to diversify the cell type used. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are considered as an interesting cell type in order to produce a hyaline cartilage substitute. This study aimed to compare umbilical cord blood (UCB) and bone marrow (BM) derived MSC. BM and UCB MSC were isolated and then amplified in monolayer culture. We characterized MSC by assessing their proliferative and multipotence capacities, and the presence of cluster of differentiation (CD) characteristic of MSC. Then, we compared MSC at their basal state and after a chondrogenic differentiation, which consisted of culture in hypoxia or normoxia in a biomaterial, with chondrogenic factors (BMP-2, TGF-ß1). Criteria used to compare MSC were the mRNA level and protein amount of several osteogenic (osteocalcin/Runx2), hypertrophic (type X collagen) and chondrogenic markers (type II collagen). Furthermore, we analysed the extracellular matrix(ECM) composition/structure by immunochemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
