Abstract
Introduction
Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a potent mitogenic and angiogenic agent, and chemoattractant (1) that is involved in tissue repair and stimulates tissue regeneration following injury (2,3). PDGF-BB can be used for wound healing as it enhances the formation of granulation tissue (2). Furthermore, PDGF-BB induces cell migration of preosteoblast cells (4), and increases osteoclast formation and chemotaxis of osteoclast precursor cells (5). Moreover, preosteoclasts secrete PDGF, which leads to enhanced angiogenesis and osteogenesis (6). Recently, it has been shown that PDGF-BB significantly promotes stem cell proliferation and increases stem cell marker expression (7). PDGF-BB has been confirmed to stimulate mesenchymal stem cell recruitment (8), and to significantly increase the migration of adipose tissue-derived stem cells in a dose-dependent manner (9). Moreover, PDGF-BB alters gene targeting related to the differentiation of stem cells (9). Additionally, PDGF-BB facilitates bone-marrow stem-cell-based bone regeneration by enhancing the osteogenic and angiogenic capabilities of stem cells (10). However, PDGF-BB has been shown to suppress adipogenic differentiation in vitro (11).
The use of 3D cultures for assessing the effects of agents is increasing (12,13). 3D cultures can interact well with their surroundings and more accurately simulate in vivo conditions compared with 2D cultures (14). Various methods can be used to produce 3D cultures, including the hanging-drop method and bioreactors (15). The use of silicone elastomer-based concave microwells is suitable for producing spheroids (16).
To the best of our knowledge, there are no previous studies evaluating the effects of PDGF on the cell spheroids composed of bone-marrow-derived stem cells using microwells. In light of the promising findings in previous studies on PDGF-BB, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of PDGF-BB on cellular morphology and cellular viability using 3D cultures of stem cells.
Materials and methods
Generation of cell spheroids using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
The Institutional Review Board of Seoul St Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea reviewed and approved the present study (approval no. KC19SESI0234). Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs; Catholic MASTER cells) were obtained from the Catholic Institute of Cell Therapy (CIC) (17). CIC verified that all samples showed >90% positive CD-73 and CD-90 expression. The Catholic MASTER Cells supplied by CIC were derived from human bone marrow donated by healthy donors who provided informed consent.
Fig. 1 shows an overview of the study design. The cells were plated on a culture dish, and any cells which did not adhere to the dish after 2 days were removed. The culture medium was replaced every 2 or 3 days, and the BMSCs were grown in a humidified incubator with an atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2 at 37˚C. Commercially available concave microwells (cat. no. H389600; StemFIT 3D; MicroFIT) was used to establish the stem cell spheroids. A total of 1x106 cells was added to each well, and 1 ml medium was added to each microwell. The cell spheroids of BMSCs were treated with 0, 10 or 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB, based on previous studies (7,18). Their morphological characteristics were evaluated using an inverted microscope (Leica DM IRM, Leica Microsystems GmbH). The morphology of the spheroids was evaluated on days 1, 3 and 7.
Determination of cellular viability
The stem cell spheroids were cultured in growth medium and a commercially available two-color assay based on plasma membrane integrity and esterase activity (Live/Dead kit assay; Molecular Probes; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used for qualitative analysis of the stem cell spheroids on days 1 and 3 according to the manufacturer's protocol. A Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was also used to assess cell viability according to the manufacturer's protocol (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc.). Absorbance was measured at 450 n using a microplate reader (BioTek Instruments, Inc.).
Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 12 (SPSS, Inc.). Data are presented as the mean ± the standard deviation. A normality and equal variance test was performed. Subsequently, a two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the effects of concentration and time points, with a post hoc test Tukey's to compare the differences amongst groups. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
Results
Morphological characteristics of stem cell spheroids with human bone marrow-derived stem cells
Intact stem cell spheroids were established in concave microwells made of a silicone elastomer on day 1 (Fig. 2). The addition of 10 or 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB did not affect cell spheroid morphology after 3 days (Fig. 2). Following longer periods of incubation of 7 days, the cell spheroids maintained their shape, and no noticeable alterations were observed.
Determination of cellular viability
Figs. 3-5 show the results of qualitative cell spheroid viability analyzed using a live/dead assay on days 1, 3 and 7, respectively. In all cases, the majority of cells in the spheroids presented green fluorescence when analyzed using the live/dead assay, indicating that the majority of cells were alive.
Fig. 6 shows quantitative results of cellular viability on days 1, 3 and 7. On day 1, the CCK-8 assay values for PDGF-BB at 0, 10 and 100 ng/ml were 0.241±0.003, 0.227±0.001 and 0.241±0.004, respectively; on day 3, the CCK-8 assay values for 0, 10 and 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB were 0.233±0.005, 0.278±0.001 and 0.194±0.003, respectively; and on day 7, they were 0.248±0.014, 0.293±0.031 and 0.346±0.034, respectively. On day 3, the 10 ng/ml group showed significantly higher viability compared with the control group (P<0.05), and on day 7 the 100 ng/ml group showed significantly increased viability compared with the control group (P<0.05).
Discussion
The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of PDGF-BB on cellular morphology and cellular viability of stem cell spheroids produced using 3D culturing methods. Treatment with 10 and 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB increased cellular viability.
PDGF-BB is applied with bone matrix for the clinical treatment of intraosseous periodontal defects (19). PDGF-BB applied with an osteoconductive bone matrix exhibits similar or superior efficacy to autogenous bone grafts in terms of bone regeneration (20). Histological analysis has shown that the addition of recombinant human PDGF-BB (rhPDGF-BB) to bone marrow stem cells and β-tricalcium phosphate yields superior performance when compared with a β-tricalcium phosphate group (18). When PDGF-BB was delivered to tooth-supporting osseous defects, an increased release of pyridinoline cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (a biomarker of bone turnover) was observed. This increase promoted periodontal regeneration (21). Furthermore, rhPDGF-BB can be applied to ridge augmentation, which is necessary for implant installation (22). The effects of PDGF-BB, a potent osteoinductive factor, are modulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines (23). PDGF-BB enhances the chemotaxis of osteoclast precursor cells and the formation of osteoclasts (5).
The effects of different concentrations of PDGF-BB have been evaluated in previous studies (7,18,24-26). rhPDGF-BB concentrations of 0, 10, and 50 ng/ml were evaluated for stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and it was shown that 50 ng/ml increased osteogenic differentiation, as exhibited by increased alkaline phosphatase activity and elevated mRNA expression levels of osteogenic genes (18). Similarly, PDGF-BB stimulated the proliferation of human periodontal ligament cells with maximal effects observed with 50 ng/ml (7). In the present study, 10 and 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB increased cellular viability. Moreover, 100 ng/ml appeared to be more effective when cells were incubated for a longer period of 7 days. However, it should be noted that this was based on qualitative evaluation of trends in the data rather than a statistically significant difference in the effects of the two concentrations. Moreover, the use of only two concentrations of 10 and 100 ng/ml may be considered a limitation of the present study. In a previous study, application of PDGF-BB at the physiologically relevant concentration of 20 ng/ml promoted osteogenic differentiation and vascular network stability (24). In an in vivo experiment, mice were treated with 0.25 or 1 mg/ml/day PDGF-BB, and PDGF-BB treatment yielded a range of favorable results (25). A meta-analysis found that 0.3 mg/ml PDGF-BB exhibited greater capacity for clinical periodontal regeneration than other concentrations (26). However, when using 3D cultures, several considerations should be taken into account. The cells in the center of a spheroid may receive insufficient oxygen and nutrients and it is difficult to evaluate the actual conditions of the cells in the central area (27,28). Discrepancies in cellular viability between groups and times may result from culture conditions, interactions between the cells and the distribution of nutrients and waste (29,30).
Several studies have explored the molecular mechanisms modulated by PDGF-BB (20,23,31-33), and PDGF-BB is known to initiate the repair and regeneration of bone and surrounding soft tissue (20). The effects of PDGF-BB on mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells may be explained by notch signaling, the PI3K pathway, ERK pathway and the protein kinase B pathway (10,32,33). PDGF-BB was also involved in multiple signaling pathways which strongly stimulate migration and reduce sensitivity to inhibitory signals (31). PDGF-BB accelerates the maturation of collagen chains through increased lysyl oxidase activity and expression of secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine (7). PDGF-BB also stimulates cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells through the ERK pathway (34). PDGF-BB-induced ERK signaling, which has been reported to be involved in parallel stimulatory and inhibitory pathways, promotes Smad1/5/8 signaling (35).
A steady-rate of growth factor release (without burst release) is required to achieve stable results (36,37). Various scaffolds, including composite scaffolds, have been applied for clinically relevant sustained release of PDGF-BB (4). Using a partition-type tubular scaffold resulted in a steady cumulative release of 52% of PDGF-BB for 4 weeks (37). In a previous report, PDGF-BB was loaded in chitosan nanoparticles incorporated into electrospun nanofibers; this led to increased fibroblast migration, showing possible applications for wound dressing (38). Polycaprolactone electrospun fibers containing PDGF-BB-loaded chitosan nanoparticles enhanced the chemotaxic effects of PDGF-BB (38). PDGF-BB-encapsulated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres showed increased responses in terms of cell attachment, cell viability and release of osteogenic differentiation markers (39). Dual delivery of PDGF-BB and vascular endothelial growth factor was achieved by electrospinning chitosan and poly(ethylene oxide) into nanofibrous meshes, which led to short-term release of vascular endothelial growth factor and sustained release of PDGF-BB (40). Dual delivery of PDGF-BB and fibroblast growth factor-2 showed synergistic effects on cell proliferation, migration and secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor by endothelial progenitor cells (41).
Another means of achieving sustained growth factor release is gene therapy (42). Sustained PDGF nonviral gene delivery was attained through a gene-activated matrix delivering polyplexes of polyethylenimine-plasmid DNA encoding PDGF (42). PDGF-BB gene-modified stem cells through lentiviral delivery resulted in enhanced dentin-pulp tissue regeneration (1). Dual delivery of PDGF-BB and stem-cell-expressing bone morphogenetic protein-2 resulted in enhanced bone formation in critical-sized defects with a higher-quality od regenerated bone (43). Similarly, co-expression of PDGF-BB and vascular endothelial growth factor led to increased angiogenesis (44), as well as stable angiogenesis with long-term safety outcomes (45).
Nonetheless, some opposing results have been reported regarding the effects of PDGF-BB (7,46,47). In one study, PDGF-BB enhanced osteogenesis in adipose-derived stem cells, but not in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (46). Conversely, PDGF-BB was found to inhibit the production of collagen, but to accelerate the maturation of collagen chains (7). Additional studies are also required before PDGF-BB can be applied confidently in socket augmentation (47).
In conclusion, the present study showed that application of 10 and 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB increased cellular viability, highlighting its potential for use in cell therapy. Further studies are required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which PDGF-BB exerts its beneficial effects.
