Resumo

The secretome present in the conditioned medium (CM) of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a promising tool to be used in therapies to promote bone regeneration. Considering the high osteogenic potential of the bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP-9), we hypothesized that the secretome of MSCs overexpressing BMP-9 (MSCsBMP-9) enhances the osteoblast differentiation of MSCs and the bone formation in calvarial defects. CM of either MSCsBMP-9 (CM-MSCsBMP-9) or MSCs without BMP-9 overexpression (CM-MSCsVPR) were obtained at different periods. As the CM-MSCsBMP-9 generated after 1 h presented the highest BMP-9 concentration, CM-MSCsBMP-9 and CM-MSCsVPR were collected at this time point and used to culture MSCs and to be injected into mouse calvarial defects. The CM-MSCsBMP-9 enhanced the osteoblast differentiation of MSC by upregulating RUNX2, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteopontin protein expression, and ALP activity, compared with CM-MSCsVPR. The CM-MSCsBMP-9 also enhanced the bone repair of mouse calvarial defects, increasing bone volume, bone volume/total volume, bone surface, and trabecular number compared with untreated defects and defects treated with CM-MSCsVPR or even with MSCsBMP-9 themselves. In conclusion, the potential of the MSCBMP-9-secretome to induce osteoblast differentiation and bone formation shed lights on novel cell-free-based therapies to promote bone regeneration of challenging defects.
