The findings from the present study demonstrate that a potent formulation of liquid platelet concentrates could be obtained without use of anti-coagulants.
The findings from the present study demonstrate modifications to centrifugation speed and time with the low-speed concept favor an increase in growth factor release from PRF clots. This, in turn, may directly influence tissue regeneration by increasing fibroblast migration, proliferation, and collagen mRNA levels. Future animal and clinical studies are now necessary.
Background
Bone destruction is one of many severe complications that occurs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and current therapies are unable to cure this manifestation. This study here aims to determine whether GMSC can directly inhibit osteoclast formation and eventually attenuate osteoclastogenesis and bone erosion in an inflammatory milieu.
Method
GMSC were co-cultured with osteoclast precursors with or without CD39 inhibitor, CD73 inhibitor or adenosine receptors inhibitors pretreatment and osteoclast formation were evaluated
in vitro
. 2×10^6 GMSC per mouse were transferred to CIA mice and pathology scores, the frequency of osteoclasts, bone erosion in joints were assessed
in vivo
.
Finding
GMSC but not control cells, markedly suppressed human or mice osteoclastogenesis
in vitro
. GMSC treatment also resulted in a dramatically decreased level of NF-κB p65/p50 in osteoclasts
in vitro
. Infusion of GMSC to CIA significantly attenuated the severity of arthritis, pathology scores, frequency of osteoclasts, particularly bone erosion, as well as a decreased expression of RANKL in synovial tissues
in vivo
. Blockade of CD39/CD73 or adenosine receptors has significantly abrogated the suppressive ability of GMSC
in vitro
and therapeutic effect of GMSC on bone erosion during CIA
in vivo
.
Interpretation
GMSC inhibit osteoclast formation
in vitro
and
in vivo
partially
via
CD39-CD73-adenosine signals. Manipulation of GMSC may have a therapeutic implication on rheumatoid arthritis and other bone erosion related diseases.
