    Metabolic diseases or injuries damage bone structure and self-renewal capacity. Trace elements and hydroxyapatite crystals are important in the development of biomaterials to support the renewal of bone extracellular matrix. In this study, it was assumed that the boron-loaded nanometer-sized hydroxyapatite composite supports the construction of extracellular matrix by controlled boron release in order to prevent its toxic effect. In this context, boron release from nanometer-sized hydroxyapatite was calculated by ICP-MS as in large proportion within 1 h and continuing release was provided at a constant low dose. The effect of the boron-containing nanometer-sized hydroxyapatite composite on the proliferation of SaOS-2 osteoblasts and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells was evaluated by WST-1 and compared with the effects of nano-hydroxyapatite and boric acid. Boron increased proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells at high doses and exhibited different effects on osteoblastic cell proliferation. Boron-containing nano-hydroxyapatite composites increased osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by increasing alkaline phosphatase activity, when compared to nano-hydroxyapatite composite and boric acid. The molecular mechanism of effective dose of boron-containing hydroxyapatite has been assessed by transcriptomic analysis and shown to affect genes involved in Wnt, TGF-beta, and response to stress signaling pathways when compared to nano-hydroxyapatite composite and boric acid. Finally, a safe osteoconductive dose range of boron-containing nano-hydroxyapatite composites for local repair of bone injuries and the molecular effect profile in the effective dose should be determined by further studies to validation of the regenerative therapeutic effect window.

    G-Csf Treatment of Healthy Pediatric Donors Affects Their Hematopoietic Microenvironment Through Changes in Bone Marrow Plasma Cytokines and Stromal Cells

    Although G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation is commonly used in adults, bone marrow (BM) is still the preferred stem cell source in pediatric stem cell transplantation. Despite the fact that G-CSF is increasingly being used to enhance the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) yield in BM transplantation (G-BM), the direct effects of G-CSF on the pediatric BM microenvironment have never been investigated. The BM hematopoietic niche provides the physical space where the HSPCs reside. This BM niche regulates HSPC quiescence and proliferation through direct interactions with other niche cells, including Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs). These cells have been shown to secrete a wide range of hematopoietic cytokines (CKs) and growth factors (GFs) involved in differentiation, retention and homing of hematopoietic cells. Here, we assessed changes in the BM microenvironment by measuring levels of 48 different CKs and GFs in G-BM and control BM (C-BM) plasma from pediatric donors. In addition, the effect of G-CSF on cell numbers and characteristics of HSPCs and MSCs was assessed. IL-16, SCGF-b, MIP-1b (all >1000 pg/mL) and RANTES (>10.000 pg/mL) were highly expressed in healthy donor pediatric BM plasma. Levels of IL-3, IL-18, GROa, MCP-3 (p<0.05) were increased in G-BM, whereas levels of RANTES (p<0.001) decreased after G-CSF treatment. We found a negative correlation with increasing age for IL2-Ra and LIF (p<0.05). In addition, a concomitant increase in the number of both hematopoietic and fibroblast colony forming units was observed, indicating that G-CSF affects both HSPC and MSC numbers. In conclusion, G-CSF treatment of healthy pediatric donors affects the hematopoietic BM microenvironment by expansion of HSPC and MSC numbers and modifying local CK and GF levels.
