Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Tetracycline hydrochloride not only promotes the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), but also has a strong bone activity. Studies on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs induced by tetracycline hydrochloride will provide a new cell source for bone tissue engineering.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the induction and differentiation activity of BMSCs into osteoblasts cultured by tetracycline hydrochloride in vitro.
METHODS: BMSCs were separated and expanded by whole bone marrow adherent method and identified by cell morphology and BMSCs cell markers CD34, CD45, CD90, CD29. Passage 3 BMSCs were collected and cultured with tetracycline hydrochloride (experimental group) or cultured in L-DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (control group). Osteogenic induction and differentiation activity of BMSCs cultured by tetracycline hydrochloride were detected by alkaline phosphatase activity detection, collagen I and osteocalcin immunohistochemistry staining, alizarin red staining of mineralized calcium nodules, and detection of collagen I and osteocalcin gene expression by RT-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Tetracycline hydrochloride continuously promoted alkaline phosphatase activity in the BMSCs, significantly different from that in the control group. After 21 days of culture, positive expression of collagen I and osteocalcin proteins, red calcium nodules shown by alizarin red staining, and mRNA expression of collagen I and osteocalcin were observed in the experimental group, while the negative expression was found in the control group. In conclusion, tetracycline hydrochloride has a significant role to promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.
