It has been demonstrated that bone marrow (BM)-derived pluripotent stem cells can be incorporated into muscle, bone, nerve, lung, stomach, intestine, and skin. Fibrin-based biodegradable microbeads (FMB) were developed for culturing, in suspension, a high density of cells, mostly of mesenchymal origin. In the current study, FMB were used to isolate and expand mesenchymal progenitor cells from BM of mice and rats. Cells from BM isolated on FMB (FMB-BM cells) were visualized by fluorescent confocal microscopy and quantified by a modified MTS colorimetric assay. Downloading the BM cells from FMB onto plastic induced their differentiation into islets of cells with osteogenic phenotype that secreted mineralized extracellular matrix. This was augmented by inducers of osteogenesis, such as ascorbic acid, beta-glycerophosphate, and dexamethasone, or osteoblast-growth peptides (OGP). Implanting FMB-BM cells under the kidney capsule in mouse tested the osteogenic potential of these cells in vivo. Thirty days after implantation, bone structures with typical BM elements were seen in 8/53 kidneys in 6-Gy-irradiated mice and in 1/10 kidneys in nonirradiated recipients; bone formation was verified by soft x-ray imaging and elemental analysis that showed elevated Ca and Fe in the implant region. FMB-BM cells-downloaded onto plastic flasks, cultured for 2 weeks, mechanically harvested and then implanted-induced 100% bone formation in both irradiated (6/6) and nonirradiated (3/3) mice. Histology revealed well-organized bone structures under the kidney capsule, including osteoblasts and typical elements of BM. Our findings demonstrate that FMB are capable of isolating and expanding progenitor cells from BM for osteogenesis and possibly for regenerating other mesenchymal tissues.
