Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to characterize the mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) mobilization, and bone turnover in osteoporotic fracture healing in ovariectomized mice. METHODS: In total, 112 female C57/BL mice were divided into two groups. The first group was sham-operated (SO), and the other group was ovariectomized (OVX). After three weeks, the right femora of the mice were fractured under anesthesia and internally fixed with steel pin. Peripheral blood and bone marrow were was collected for flow cytometry analysis, at 0 hours (h), 12 h, 24 h, 72 h and 168 h after fracture. MSCs and EPCs levels were assessed using cell surface antigens in different combinations (CD44+ CD34-CD45-, and CD34+ KDR+CD45-) by flow cytometry. At 0, 14, 28 and 42 days after fracture, sera were assayed for circulating levels of procollagen type I-N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and C-terminal telopeptide of type I-collagen (CTX) by ELISA. Femurs were harvested at 2 weeks and 6 weeks after fracture for X-ray radiography, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histology. RESULTS: Our results showed that bone marrow and peripheral blood MSCs numbers of the OVX mice were significantly lower than the SO mice, at 12 h, 24 h and 72 h after fracture. In addition, circulating P1NP and CTX levels of the OVX mice were significantly higher than the SO mice, at 2 and 4 weeks. CONCLUSION: Results of the present study revealed disorders of bone marrow MSCs mobilization and bone turnover may partially account for the delay of osteoporotic fracture healing.
