Sumario:Abstract The need for an autologous cell source for bone tissue engineering and medical applications has led researchers to explore multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), which show stem cell plasticity, in various human tissues. However, MSC with different tissue origins vary in their biological properties and their capability for osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, MSC-based therapies require large-scale ex vivo expansion, accompanied by cell type-specific replicative senescence, which affects osteogenic differentiation. To elucidate cell type-specific differences in the osteogenic differentiation potential and replicative senescence, we analysed the impact of BMP and TGF-β signaling in adipose-derived stromal cells (ASC), fibroblasts (FB), and dental pulp stromal cells (DSC). We used inhibitors of BMP and TGF-β signaling, such as SB431542, dorsomorphin and/or a supplemental addition of BMP-2. The expression of high-affinity binding receptors for BMP-2 and calcium deposition with alizarin red S were evaluated to assess osteogenic differentiation potential. Our study demonstrated that TGF-β signaling inhibits osteogenic differentiation of ASC, DSC and FB in the early cell culture passages. Moreover, DSC had the best osteogenic differentiation potential and an activation of BMP signaling with BMP-2 could further enhance this capacity. This phenomenon is likely due to an increased expression of activin receptor-like kinase-3 and -6. However, in DSC with replicative senescence (in cell culture passage 10), osteogenic differentiation sharply decreased, and the simultaneous use of BMP-2 and SB431542 did not result in further improvement of this process. In comparison, ASC retain a similar osteogenic differentiation potential regardless of whether they were in the early (cell culture passage 3) or later (cell culture passage 10) stages. Our study elucidated that ASC, DSC, and FB vary functionally in their osteogenic differentiation, depending on their tissue origin and replicative senescence. Therefore, our study provides important insights for cell-based therapies to optimize prospective bone tissue engineering strategies.
