Abstract (original English)

Natural bone healing following fractures is initiated by osteoblasts (OBs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a cell combination with possible potential in tissue engineering techniques for bony defects. The aim of the study was to investigate MSC/OB-crosstalk, in order to determine optimal cell culture conditions for osteogenic differentiation. Human OBs and MSCs interactions were investigated in an in vitro trans-well co-culture study over a time period of 28 days. Calcification was determined by optical density (OD) at 450 nm and Alizarin red staining. Messenger RNA expression was assessed by quantitative PCR. Osteogenic medium containing 1% fetal bovine serum resulted in superior levels of calcification in MSCs in co-culture with OBs compared to 2% or 5% fetal bovine serum (p<0.05). Comparing MSCs and OBs alone with the MSC/OB co-culture, calcification, as measured by OD 450 nm, increased over time in all groups. The highest values were recorded in the co-culture (p<0.05). Osteogenic differentiation potential showed significant interindividual differences. In order to predict differentiation potential, OD 450 nm measurements and mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase were correlated with the population doubling rate during the expansion period. For OBs and MSCs, statistically significant associations of proliferation and differentiation potential were found (p<0.001). The
