Abstract (original English)

Bone resident cells are constantly subjected to a range of distinct mechanical loadings, which generates a complex microenvironment. In particular, hydrostatic pressure (HP) has a key impact on modulation of cell function and fate determination. Although HP is a constant mechanical stimulus, its role in regulating the osteogenesis process within a defined 3D microenvironment has not been comprehensively elucidated. Perceiving how environmental factors regulate the differentiation of stem cells is essential for expanding their regenerative potential. Inspired by the mechanical environment of bone, this study attempted to investigate the influence of different ranges of cyclic HP on human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) encapsulated within a compartmentalized liquefied microenvironment. Taking advantage of the liquefied environment of microcapsules, MSCs were exposed to cyclic HP of 5 or 50 MPa, 3 times/week at 37 °C. Biological tests using fluorescence staining of F-actin filaments showed a noticeable improvement in cell-cell interactions and cellular network formation of MSCs. These observations were more pronounced in osteogenic (OST) condition, as confirmed by fluorescent staining of vinculin. More interestingly, there was a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity of MSCs exposed to 50 MPa magnitude of HP, even in the absence of osteoinductive fact
