Abstract (original English)
Exogenous addition of three factors-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)-has proven to be more beneficial than delivery of any single factor for fracture repair in animal models. We studied the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) in the presence of VEGF, BMP-6, or VEGF plus BMP-6 to better understand their enhancement of osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs. The VEGF plus BMP-6 group demonstrated an additive effect on the enhancement of mineralization and expression of ALP and Msx2 genes. Unlike VEGF or BMP-6 alone, the combination of VEGF and BMP-6 significantly enhanced the expression of COL1A1, osterix, and Dlx5 genes. The data indicate that a cross-talk between VEGF and BMP-6 signaling pathways enhances osteogenic differentiation of hADSCs.
