Expression of RUNX2 and Osterix in Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells during Culturing in Osteogenic-Conditioned Medium

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2020 Aug;169(4):571-575. doi: 10.1007/s10517-020-04931-5. Epub 2020 Sep 10.

Abstract

We studied the expression of transcription factors RUNX2 and Osterix after addition of a concentrate of osteogenic-conditioned medium to the culture medium for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The obtained concentrate of osteogenic-conditioned medium containing a complex of bioactive substances with a molecular weight >10 kDa provided MSC differentiation into osteoblasts, which was confirmed by high level of expression of transcription factors RUNX2 and Osterix in comparison with the negative control. The highest expression of transcription factor Osterix was revealed on day 14 of MSC culturing in the presence of osteogenic supplement StemPro (positive control) and the studied concentrate of osteogenic-conditioned medium.

Keywords: differentiation; mesenchymal stem cells; osteogenic-conditioned medium; osteoinduction.
