Our purpose was to determine how enamel matrix derivative (EMD) affects the expression of osteogenesis- and chondrogenesis-related transcription factors in undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. C3H10T1/2 cell line, a typical pluripotential mesenchymal cell line, was cultured with or without EMD for up to 7 d. Expression of mRNAs encoding osteogenesis- and chondrogenesis-related transcription factors (Runx2, Osterix, AJ18, Dlx5, Msx2, Sox5, Sox9 and Zfp60) was measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Runx2 and Sox9 protein expression and the presence of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-6-like molecules in EMD were determined by Western blotting. EMD substantially increased mRNA levels of osteogenesis- and chondrogenesis-related transcription factors. EMD also induced Runx2 and Sox9 protein expression. Western blotting analysis of EMD using anti-BMP-6 antibody revealed immunoreactive bands corresponding to about 14 kDa and 60 kDa. These results suggest that EMD stimulates osteogenesis- and chondrogenesis-related transcription factors, and these activities may be mediated, at least in part, by BMP-6 in EMD.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how a chitosan hydrogel loaded with tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) influences the healing process of the tendon-to-bone connection after rotator cuff repair in rabbits.
- - TDSCs were extracted from rabbit rotator cuff tissue and encapsulated in chitosan to form a hydrogel, which was tested for cell proliferation and compatibility before testing on three different groups of rabbits with varying treatments post-surgery.
- - After 4 and 8 weeks, analyses through PCR and histology were conducted to evaluate gene expression related to tendon, cartilage, and bone healing, as well as biomechanical properties to assess the effectiveness of the TDSCs/CS hydrogel in enhancing tendon-to-b

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic degenerative disease which is characterized by the disruption of articular cartilage. Syringic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other effects including promoting osteogenesis. However, the effect of SA on OA has not yet been reported.

Introduction: Periodontal ligament is regenerated in association with hard tissue regeneration. Tenomodulin (Tnmd) expression has been confirmed in periodontal ligament and it reportedly inhibits angiogenesis or is involved in collagen fibril maturation. The introduction of Tnmd by gene transfection in bone tissue regeneration therapy might inhibit topical hard tissue formation and induce the formation of dense fibrous tissue.

WP9QY (W9) is a receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-binding peptide that inhibits osteoclastogenesis by blunting the RANKL-RANK interaction, and also increases osteoblastogenesis via RANKL reverse signaling. W9 has dual effects on osteoclasts and osteoblasts; however, it is unknown whether the peptide has an effect on chondrocytes. Here, we report that W9 induces proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes in vitro and repairs full-thickness articular cartilage defects in vivo.

Stem cell therapy using mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) represents a novel approach to treating severe diseases, including osteoarthritis. However, the therapeutic benefit of MSCs is highly dependent on their differentiation state, which can be regulated by many factors. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) magnetic scaffolds were successfully fabricated by incorporating magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into electrospun gelatin nanofibers.
