- Abstract
- Stem cell differentiation is determined by a repertoire of signals from its microenvironment, which includes the extracellular matrix (ECM) and soluble cues. The ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a common precursor for the skeletal system, to differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes in response to their local cues plays an important role in skeletal tissue regeneration and homeostasis. In this study, we investigated whether a bone-specific calcium phosphate (CaP) mineral environment could induce osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs, while inhibiting their adipogenic differentiation, in the presence of adipogenic-inducing medium. We also examined the mechanism through which the mineralized matrix suppresses adipogenesis of hMSCs to promote their osteogenic differentiation. Our results show that hMSCs cultured on mineralized matrices underwent osteogenic differentiation despite being cultured in the presence of adipogenic medium, which indicates the dominance of matrix-based cues of the mineralized matrix in directing osteogenic commitment of stem cells. Furthermore, the mineralized matrix-driven attenuation of adipogenesis was reversed with the inhibition of A2b adenosine receptor (A2bR), implicating a role of adenosine signaling in mineralized environment-mediate
