Objective: To study the method of inducing human marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into osteoblasts directionally and to identify osteogenesis characteristics.

Methods: MSCs were isolated from adult marrow using density gradient separation method and were cultured in conditioned medium containing Dex 10(-8) mol/L, beta-GP 10 mmol/L, and AA 50 micrograms/ml. The MSCs attachment formed soon and passage 3 cells were chosen to check osteogenesis characteristics, including alkaline phosphatase assay with modified calcium-cobalt staining method, type I collagen assay with immunohistochemistry, osteopontin and osteonectin assay with in situ hybridization and calcium nodes assay with Von Kossa staining.

Results: Passage 3 MSCs had typical appearance of osteoblasts and could be passaged continuously till passage 10. The rate of ALP expression was 85%. The expressions of collagen type I, osteopontin and osteonectin were positive and calcium nodes were seen by Von Kossa staining.

Conclusion: We have successfully induced human MSCs into osteoblasts; the induced cells have typical osteogenesis characteristics.

Developing a 3D bone model of osteosarcoma to investigate cancer mechanisms and evaluate treatments.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, occurring frequently in children and young adults. Patients are treated with surgery and multi-agent chemotherapy, and despite the introduction of mifamurtide in 2011, there has been little improvement in survival for decades. 3-dimensional models offer the potential to understand the complexity of the osteosarcoma tumor microenvironment and aid in developing new treatment approaches.

This study aimed to find whether oral administration of calf bone marrow hydrolysate liposomes (CBMHL) can improve renal anemia. Calf bone marrow was defatted, papain hydrolyzed, liposomalized and lyophilized. Its hematopoietic ability was proved by the colony formation experiment of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells in vitro.

High Shear Stress Reduces ERG Causing Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol

Department of Pediatrics (T.S., J.-R.M., Y.H.C., J.M.S., J. Kaplan, A.C., L.W., D.G., S.T., S.I., M.D., W.Y., A.L.M., M.R.).

Background: Computational modeling indicated that pathological high shear stress (HSS; 100 dyn/cm) is generated in pulmonary arteries (PAs; 100-500 µm) in congenital heart defects causing PA hypertension (PAH) and in idiopathic PAH with occlusive vascular remodeling. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a feature of PAH. We hypothesize that HSS induces EndMT, contributing to the initiation and progression of PAH.

The analysis of the volatile compounds released by biological samples represents a promising approach for the non-invasive diagnosis of a disease. The present study, focused on a population of dogs infected with canine leishmaniasis, aimed to decipher the volatolomic profile associated with this disease in dogs, which represent the main animal reservoir for Leishmania pathogen transmission to humans. The volatiles emitted by the breath and hair of dogs were analysed employing the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique.
