Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Akermanite belongs to silicate bioactive ceramics, with degradation in vivo, and its ionic products can induce osteogenic differentiation, which is a good choice for bone tissue engineering scaffold.

OBJECTIVE: By studying the different concentrations of akermanite extracts on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of pluripotent stem cells, to determine the optimum concentration of akermanite extract to inducing the osteogenic differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.
METHODS: MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation of pluripotent stem cells cultured in different concentrations of akermanite extracts (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32). After cultured with the extracts for 7, 14, 21 days, the culture supernatants were collected to detect the levels of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, type I collagen.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The MTT assay showed that the proliferation of pluripotent stem cells was increased in a concentration-dependent manner after induction with akermanite extracts. The pluripotent stem cells proliferated obviously at 3 days after induction, and then weaken at 7 days, but there was no difference at 3 and 5 days after induction. At 7 days after induction, the 1/4 extract had the best effect on promoting osteogenic differentiation of pluripotent stem cells; the levels of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin were increased with time, especially after induction with the 1/4 extract; but there was no expression of type I collagen. At 14 and 21 days after induction, the levels of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, type I collagen were highest in the 1/4 extract group. These findings indicate that the 1/4 akermanite extract (Ca 2.37 mmol/L, Mg 1.12 mmol/L, Si 1.05 mmol/L) is the optimum to promote the osteogenic differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.
