Objective To study the effect of rat osteoblast conditioned culture medium on the BMSCs differentiation of allogeneic rat and to find a new approach to provide seed cells for bone tissue engineering. Methods BMSCs and osteoblasts were harvested from 10 healthy one-week-old SD rats (male and female, weighing 20-30 g) by adherent method and enzyme digestion method respectively. Cell identification was conducted. Osteoblast conditioned culture medium was prepared by mixing supernatant of osteoblasts at passage 1-5 with complete medium (1:1). Then, BMSCs at passage 2 were co-cultured with osteoblast conditioned culture medium (inducement group) and complete medium (control group), respectively. The morphological changes of co-cultured BMSCs were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope, the growth condition of BMSCs was detected by MTT method, the expressions of ALP, Col I and osteocalcin (OCN) in the cocultured BMSCs were tested by immunohistochemistry staining, and the expressions of Col I and OCN mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results In the inducement group, BMSCs grew bigger, changing from long fusiform to flat and polygon with protuberance 7 days after co-culture; the presence of cell colony-l ike growth was observed 9 days after co-culture. Cell growth curve demonstrated that the counts of BMSCs was increased with time, there were more cells in the control group than that of the inducement group, and there was a significant difference in cell counts between the control and the inducement group 4-7 days after co-culture (P lt; 0.05). For the inducement group, ALP staining was positive 12 days after co-culture, the calcium nodules were appeared 18 days after co-culture, Col I and OCN were positive 21 days after co-culture, and the expressions of Col I and OCN mRNA were detected by RT-PCR 21 days after co-culture. Conclusion Rat osteoblast conditioned culture medium can significantly induce the differentiation of allogeneic rats’ BMSCs towards osteoblasts.
