The optimal time to inject bone mesenchymal stem cells for fracture healing in a murine model
BACKGROUND: Bone marrow is an important source of stem cells, which can promote bone fracture healing. METHODS: We investigated the optimal time to inject bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a C57 murine unilateral, transverse, femur fracture model. BMSCs transfected with red fluorescent p...

description | BACKGROUND: Bone marrow is an important source of stem cells, which can promote bone fracture healing. METHODS: We investigated the optimal time to inject bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a C57 murine unilateral, transverse, femur fracture model. BMSCs transfected with red fluorescent protein (RFP-BMSCs) were injected via the tail vein on day 1, 7, or 14 post-fracture. AMD3100 (inhibitor of stromal cell-derived factor 1 [SDF-1]) was also injected before RFP-BMSCs in one group for comparison; a control group received saline injections. RFP-BMSC migration and fracture healing were evaluated by in vivo fluorescence assay. Micro-CT was performed and mechanical testing and histological analysis. Chemokine levels were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting. RESULTS: Following injection on day 7 post-fracture, RFP-BMSCs more frequently homed to the fracture site and remained for a longer duration. Bone volume and bone mineral density were increased when BMSCs were injected on day 7 post-fracture (P < 0.05). The mechanical properties of fractured femurs were improved following day-7 BMSC injection. Histology confirmed that BMSC injection improved the formation of new bones. CONCLUSIONS: Chemokines that induce BMSC migration were highly expressed, and protein levels of osteogenesis-related factors were increased. Seven days after fracture may be the optimal time for injection of BMSCs to promote fracture healing. Additionally, the SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway may play an important role in fracture healing following BMSC injection. |
