Abstract

A sufficient amount of easily obtained and well-characterized osteoblastic cells is a useful tool to study biomaterial/cell interactions essential for bone tissue engineering. Osteoblastic cells were derived from adult and fetal rat via different isolation techniques. The isolation and in vitro proliferation of primary cultures were compared. The osteogenic potential of subcultures was studied by culturing them in osteogenic medium and compared with respect to alkaline phosphatase activity, nodule formation and mineralization potential. Calvaria cells were easier to obtain and the amount of cells released by enzymatic isolation was higher than for the long bone cells. The expansion of the cells in primary culture was highest for fetal calvaria cells compared to fetal and adult long bone cells. All cultures expressed high alkaline phosphatase activity except for calvaria cells obtained by spontaneous outgrowth. Enzymatic isolation of fetal calvaria and long bone cells favoured the osteogenic differentiation. Enzymatically isolated calvaria cells formed well-defined three-dimensional nodules which mineralized restricted to this area. On the contrary, cultures derived from fetal as well as adult long bones mineralized in ill-defined deposits throughout the culture and only formed occasionally nodular-like structures. The mineral phase of all osteoblastic cultures was identified as a carbonate-containing apatite. The present study demonstrates that considering the isolation method, proliferation capacity and the osteogenic potential, the enzymatically released fetal calvaria cells are most satisfactory to study cell/biomaterial interactions.
