Phenotypic alterations in articulating joint cells: Role of mechanically loaded MSC secretome

Improvements in the treatment of cartilage require insights into the secretory profile of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Apart from their differentiation potential, MSCs secrete a multitude of molecules with therapeutic properties that benefit chondrogenesis and immunomodulation. Previously, we empl...

description Improvements in the treatment of cartilage require insights into the secretory profile of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Apart from their differentiation potential, MSCs secrete a multitude of molecules with therapeutic properties that benefit chondrogenesis and immunomodulation. Previously, we employed a small-panel microarray to demonstrate differences within conditioned medium (CM) of MSCs that were mechanically stimulated within a joint-mimicking bioreactor and their unloaded controls.This study analyzed the proteomic content within CM from 4 week mechanically loaded MSCs with a larger protein microarray. We examined the chondrogenic effect of CM by administration to MSC and chondrocyte pellet cultures, as well as functional changes in T cell proliferation.CM from mechanically loaded samples shows a promising push towards chondrogenic phenotypes within both pellet cultures. Inhibition of T cell proliferation was also observed. This in vitro model could enhance our understanding how mechanical load induces changes in MSC secretome benefitting cartilage healing.
