The influence of metal-based biomaterials functionalized with sphingosine-1-phosphate on the cellular response and osteogenic differentaion potenial of human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro

This study investigated the effect of TiO2, doped with S1P in two different dosages on cellular response as well as osteogenic differentiation potential of human adipose derived multipotent stromal stem cells (hASC). The authors have shown that S1P mediates hASCs morphology, proliferation activity and population doubling time in a dose-dependent manner. They have also demonstrated that functionalization of TiO2 coating with a higher dosage of S1P, i.e. 80 ng/ml [(TiO2/S1P(CII)] activated both S1PR type 1 and type 2 on mRNA level. The results indicated an increase in secretion of BMP-2, Osteopontin and Osteocalcin by osteoblasts progenitor when cultured on [TiO2/S1P(CIIm)]. In addition, the authors observed the highest extracellular matrix mineralization as well as osteonodules formation by the osteoblasts precursors when cultured onto [TiO2/S1P(CIIm)].
