Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E2 is not only involved in the body’s inflammatory response as an inflammatory mediator, but also plays a very important role in the process of bone formation and remodeling. In addition, prostaglandin E2 also regulates the proliferation and differentiation of other stem cells, such as neural stem cells and embryonic stem cells.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of prostaglandin E2 on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and to confirm the best concentration of prostaglandin E2, then to screen differentially expressed genes by gene chip technology, and to study the mechanism of prostaglandin E2 in the osteoinductive process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured from Sprague-Dawley rats, and prostaglandin E2 was prepared to different concentrations of solutions: 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, 10-5 and 10-6 g/L. Then, passage 3 cells were cultured in prostaglandin E2 solutions, and low-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. MTT colorimetric assay and quantitative detection of alkaline phosphatase were used to confirm the best concentration of prostaglandin E2 promoting proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. After 14 days, the gene-chip technique was used to detect the differentially expressed genes.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The experimental data were statistically analyzed, we found that the best concentration of prostaglandin E2 for the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was 1×10-4 g/L, and the best concentration of prostaglandin E2 for the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was 1×10-5 g/L. According to the gene chip, Cxcl13, Cd55 gene and PPAR, MAPK signaling pathways might be the key genes and pathways in the osteogenic differentiation process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
