PG - e51-60 LID - 10.1002/term.1539 [doi] AB - Association of the bone-forming osteoblasts (OBs) and vascular endothelial cells (ECs) into a biomaterial composite provides a live bone graft substitute that can repair the bone defect when implanted. An intimate functional relationship exists between these cell types. This communication is crucial to the coordinated cell behaviour necessary for bone development and remodelling. Previous studies have shown that direct co-culture of primary human osteoprogenitors (HOPs) with primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulates HOPs differentiation and induces tubular-like networks. The present work aims to test the use of human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs) co-cultured with human endothelial progenitor cells in order to assess whether progenitor-derived ECs (PDECs) could support osteoblastic differentiation as mature ECs do. Indeed, data generated from the literature by different laboratories considering these co-culture systems appear difficult to compare. Monocultures of HUVECs, HOPs, HBMSCs (in a non-orientated lineage), PDECs (from cord blood) were used as controls and four combinations of co-cultures were undertaken: HBMSCs-PDECs, HBMSCs-HUVECs, HOPs-PDECs, HOPs-HUVECs with ECs (mature or progenitor) for 6 h to 7 days. At the end of the chosen co-culture time, intracellular alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was detected in HOPs and HBMSCs and quantified in cell extracts. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) of ALP was performed over time and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was measured. After 21 days, calcium deposition was observed, comparing mono- and co-cultures. We confirm that ECs induce osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Moreover, HUVECs can be replaced by PDECs, the latter being of great interest in tissue engineering. CI - Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
