Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are considered the "golden standard" of seeding cell for cartilage or bone tissue engineering, but there are inconsistent reports regarding the use and concentration of serum on chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. We aim to investigate the effect of serum on chondrogenic differentiation and proliferation of BMSCs in 2D culture. Microscopic observation and counting of the effects of different serum concentrations (0 %, 0.5 %, 1 %, 2 %, and 5 %) on the cell aggregation of BMSCs induced for different durations (7 d, 14 d, and 21 d) revealed that an appropriate concentration of serum (1–5 %) facilitated the formation of cell aggregates during BMSCs chondrogenic differentiation in 2D culture; CCK-8 revealed that serum on cell proliferation was not significantly different, but live/dead staining showed that serum offered cells a favorable living environment resulting a good activity for BMSCs chondrogenic differentiation; Histological examination found no significant difference in different serum concentrations on BMSCs chondrogenic differentiation, suggesting that serum may not be a decisive factor in chondrogenic differentiation. In conclusion, serum can significantly promote cell microsphere formation and growth, which is beneficial to the automatic transformation from 2D to 3D due to offering cells a favorable living environment. It has important guiding significance for the large-scale formation of cell microspheres, which is recognized to contribute to the repair of osteochondral injury.
