Abstract
Aims There is an increasing concern of osteoporotic fractures in the ageing population. Low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) was shown to significantly enhance osteoporotic fracture healing through alteration of osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network (LCN). Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) in osteocytes is known to be responsible for maintaining the LCN and mineralization. This study aimed to investigate the role of osteocyte-specific DMP1 during osteoporotic fracture healing augmented by LMHFV. Methods A metaphyseal fracture was created in the distal femur of ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic Sprague Dawley rats. Rats were randomized to five different groups: 1) DMP1 knockdown (KD), 2) DMP1 KD + vibration (VT), 3) Scramble + VT, 4) VT, and 5) control (CT), where KD was performed by injection of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) into marrow cavity; vibration treatment was conducted at 35 Hz, 0.3 g; 20 minutes/day, five days/week). Assessments included radiography, micro-CT, dynamic histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry on DMP1, sclerostin, E11, and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). In vitro, murine long bone osteocyte-Y4 (MLO-Y4) osteocyte-like cells were randomized as in vivo groupings. DMP1 KD was performed by transfecting cells with shRNA plasmid. Assessments included immunocytochemistry on osteocyte-specific markers as above, and mineralized nodule staining. Results Healing capacities in DMP1 KD groups were impaired. Results showed that DMP1 KD significantly abolished vibration-enhanced fracture healing at week 6. DMP1 KD significantly altered the expression of osteocyte-specific markers. The lower mineralization rate in DMP1 KD groups indicated that DMP1 knockdown was associated with poor fracture healing process. Conclusion The blockage of DMP1 would impair healing outcomes and negate LMHFV-induced enhancement on fracture healing. These findings reveal the importance of DMP1 in response to the mechanical signal during osteoporotic fracture healing. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2022;11(7):465–476.

Frequency-specific sensitivity of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to low-intensity vibratory stimulus during adipogenesis. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2022; 58:452-461. [PMID: 35713773 DOI: 10.1007/s11626-022-00696-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Adipocyte accumulation in the bone marrow is a severe complication leading to bone defects and reduced regenerative capacity. Application of external mechanical signals to bone marrow cellular niche is a non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical methodology to improve osteogenesis and suppress adipogenesis. However, in the literature, the specific parameters related to the nature of low-intensity vibratory (LIV) signals appear to be arbitrarily selected for amplitude, bouts, and applied frequency. In this study, we performed a LIV frequency sweep ranging from 30 to 120 Hz with increments of 15 Hz applied onto preadipocytes during adipogenesis for 10 d. We addressed the effect of LIV with different frequencies on single-cell density, adipogenic gene expression, lipid morphology, and triglycerides content. Results showed that LIV signals with 75-Hz frequency had the most significant suppressive effect during adipogenesis. Our results support the premise that mechanical-based interventions for suppressing adipogenesis may benefit from optimizing input parameters.

Abstract
(1) Background: A novel bioreactor platform of neuronal cell cultures using low-magnitude, low-frequency (LMLF) vibrational stimulation was designed to discover vibration influence and mimic the dynamic environment of the in vivo state. To better understand the impact of 40 Hz and 100 Hz vibration on cell differentiation, we join biotechnology and advanced medical technology to design the nano-vibration system. The influence of vibration on the development of nervous tissue on the selected cell line SH-SY5Y (experimental research model in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) was investigated. (2) Methods: The vibration stimulation of cell differentiation and elongation of their neuritis were monitored. We measured how vibrations affect the morphology and differentiation of nerve cells in vitro. (3) Results: The highest average length of neurites was observed in response to the 40 Hz vibration on the collagen surface in the differentiating medium, but cells response did not increase with vibration frequency. Also, vibrations at a frequency of 40 Hz or 100 Hz did not affect the average density of neurites. 100 Hz vibration increased the neurites density significantly with time for cultures on collagen and non-collagen surfaces. The exposure of neuronal cells to 40 Hz and 100 Hz vibration enhanced cell differentiation. The 40 Hz vibration has the best impact on neuronal-like cell growth and differentiation. (4) Conclusions: The data demonstrated that exposure to neuronal cells to 40 Hz and 100 Hz vibration enhanced cell differentiation and proliferation. This positive impact of vibration can be used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It is planned to optimize the processes and study its molecular mechanisms concerning carrying out the research.

Abstract
Mechanical forces are the integral determinants in cell and tissue homeostasis and regeneration, and they can affect numerous biological process from proliferation to fate determination. Mechanical forces that possess low magnitude and high frequency characteristics are also known as low intensity vibrations (LIVs). These signals were studied widely on many cell types for regenerative purposes, however most of these studies select components of LIV signals (e.g., magnitude, frequency, duration, etc.) arbitrarily. Here, we addressed the effect of LIV applied frequency, LIV daily exposure time and fate induction on the viability of preadipocyte 3T3-L1 cells. For this, we performed a frequency sweep that was ranging from 30[Formula: see text]Hz to 120[Formula: see text]Hz with 15[Formula: see text]Hz increments applied for 5, 10 or 20[Formula: see text]min during quiescent growth or adipogenesis for up to 10 days. Results suggest that the applied frequency and fate induction was an important determinant of cell viability while daily exposure time had no effect. These findings contribute to the effort of optimizing a relevant mechanical stimulus that can inhibit adipogenesis.

A Novel In Vitro Simulator to Investigate Promotion of Reconstruction of Damaged Neuronal Cell Colony Differentiated from iPS Cells with the Aid of Micro Dynamic Stimulation. TECHNOLOGIES 2021.

Abstract
Neuronal cells are equipped with the function of a sensor that senses stimulation and elongates neurites to connect nearby neuronal cells in forming a neuronal network, as they are generally said to be hard to recover from physical damage, such as in the case of a spinal cord injury. Therefore, in this study, a novel in vitro simulator in which micro dynamic stimulations are applied to a damaged neuronal cell colony artificially is proposed to investigate the possibility of promoting the reconstruction of damaged neuronal cells on a colony basis. A neuronal cell colony differentiated from iPS cells is physically damaged by cutting off treatment, and micro dynamic stimulations are applied to the colony by utilizing a developed mini-vibration table system. NeuroFluor NeuO is used to establish a method for fluorescent staining of the living neuronal cells, and morphologies of the reconstructing neurons are analysed, revealing a relationship between the stimulation and the reconstructing process of the damaged neurons. It is found that significant differences are observed in the reconstructing efficiency between the statically cultured damaged neuronal cell colony and the dynamically stimulated one. The results suggest that applying appropriate micro dynamic stimulations is a promising approach to promote the reconstruction of a damaged neuronal cell colony.

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed assessment of hormetic dose responses by human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). Hormetic dose responses were induced by a broad range of chemicals, including dietary supplements (e.g., curcumin, ginsenoside Rg1), pharmaceutical/commercial substances (e.g., metformin) and endogenous agents (e.g., periostin, TNF-α) for cell proliferation/viability and osteogenic/adipocyte differentiation. This paper clarifies underlying mechanistic foundations of the hPLDSC hormetic dose responses and explores their therapeutic implications. Emerging evidence based on assessments of multiple types of stem cells shows hormetic dose responses to be widespread, reflecting considerable generality and a highly conserved evolutionary trait.

Abstract
Mechanical stimuli have been shown to play a large role in cellular behavior, including cellular growth, differentiation, morphology, homeostasis, and disease. Therefore, developing bioreactor systems that can create complex mechanical environments for both tissue engineering and disease modeling drug screening is appealing. However, many of existing systems are restricted because of their bulky size with external force generators, destructive microenvironment control, and low throughput. These shortcomings have preceded to the utilization of magnetic stimuli responsive materials, given their untethered, fast, and tunable actuation potential at both the microscale and macroscale level, for seamless integration into cell culture wells and microfluidic systems. Nevertheless, magnetic soft materials for cell culture have been limited due to the inability to develop well-defined 3D structures for more complex and physiological relevant mechanical actuation. Herein, we introduce a facile fabrication process to develop magnetic-PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) porous composite designs with both well-defined and controllable microlevel and macrolevel features to dynamically manipulate 3D cell-laden gel at the scale. The intrinsic stiffness of the magnetic-PDMS porous composites is also modulated to control the deformation potential to mimic physiological relevant strain levels, with 2.89-11% observed in magnetic actuation studies. High cell viability was achieved with the culturing of both human adipose stem cells (hADMSCs) and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in 3D cell-laden gel interfaced with the magnetic-PDMS porous composite. Also, the highly interconnected porous network of the magnetic-PDMS composites facilitated free diffusion throughout the porous structure showcasing the potential of a multisurface contact 3D porous magnetic structure in both reservoir and 96-well plate insert designs for more complex dynamic mechanical actuation. In conclusion, these studies provide a means for establishing a biocompatible, tunable magnetic-PDMS porous composite with fast and programmable dynamic strain potential making it a suitable platform for high-throughput, dynamic 3D cell culture.

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed assessment of the occurrence of hormetic dose responses in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) of animal models and humans. While a broad range of endpoints has been considered, the predominant research focus in the literature has involved cell proliferation and differentiation. Hormetic dose responses have been commonly reported for ADSCs, encompassing a broad range of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements and endogenous agents as well as a broad range of physical stressors such as low frequency vibrations, electromagnetic frequency (EMF), heat and sound waves. Numerous agents upregulate key functions such as cell proliferation and differentiation in ADSCs, following the quantitative features of the hormesis dose response model. The paper also assesses the capacity of agents to selectively and dose-dependently activate cell proliferation and/or differentiation, their underlying mechanistic foundations and potential clinical implications. These findings indicate that hormetic dose responses are a prominent feature of ADSC biology and may have a determinant role in their potential clinical applications.

Abstract
The current study investigated the combinatorial effect of cyclic strain and electrical stimulation on neural differentiation potential of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) inductions in vitro. We developed a prototype device which can provide cyclic strain and electrical signal synchronously. Using this system, we demonstrated that cyclic strain and electrical co-stimulation promote the differentiation of BMCSs into neural cells with more branches and longer neurites than strain or electrical stimulation alone. Strain and electrical co-stimulation can also induce a higher expression of neural markers in terms of transcription and protein level. Neurotrophic factors and the intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) are also upregulated with co-stimulation. Importantly, the co-stimulation further enhances the calcium influx of neural differentiated BMSCs when responding to acetylcholine and potassium chloride (KCl). Finally, the phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and 2 and protein kinase B (AKT) was elevated under co-stimulation treatment. The present work suggests a synergistic effect of the combination of cyclic strain and electrical stimulation on BMSC neuronal differentiation and provides an alternative approach to physically manipulate stem cell differentiation into mature and functional neural cells in vitro.

Abstract
Novel approaches, combining technology, biomaterial design, and cutting-edge cell culture, have been increasingly considered to advance the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Within this context, acoustic manipulation to remotely control spatial cellular organization within a carrier matrix has arisen as a particularly promising method during the last decade. Acoustic or sound-induced manipulation takes advantage of hydrodynamic forces exerted on systems of particles within a liquid medium by standing waves. Inorganic or organic particles, cells, or organoids assemble within the nodes of the standing wave, creating distinct patterns in response to the applied frequency and amplitude. Acoustic manipulation has advanced from micro- or nanoparticle arrangement in 2D to the assembly of multiple cell types or organoids into highly complex in vitro tissues. In this review, we discuss the past research achievements in the field of acoustic manipulation with particular emphasis on biomedical application. We survey microfluidic, open chamber, and high throughput devices for their applicability to arrange non-living and living units in buffer or hydrogels. We also investigate the challenges arising from different methods, and their prospects to gain a deeper understanding of in vitro tissue formation and application in the field of biomedical engineering. Work on sound waves to spatially control particulate systems is reviewed. Classification of surface acoustic waves, bulk acoustic waves, and Faraday waves. Sound can be used to arrange, separate, or filter polymer particles. Sound can pattern cells in 3D to induce morphogenesis. Long-term applied sound induces differentiation and tissue formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The stromal vascular fraction can improve volume retention after fat grafting, but the optimal stromal vascular fraction extraction method remains controversial. This study investigated the effect of mechanical vibration on stromal vascular fraction activity and explored the efficacy of vibration as a new extraction method compared to centrifugation, enzyme digestion, and nanoemulsion methods. METHODS Twenty-four rabbits were divided into three groups, and adipose tissue was harvested from the scapular region of each rabbit. In the first group, stromal vascular fraction was extracted from adipose tissue by vibration with different frequencies and durations. Cell counts and colony formation were assessed to determine the optimal vibration parameters. In the second group, stromal vascular fraction was extracted by the four methods, and the cell counts, proliferation, and adipogenic capabilities were observed in vitro. In the third group, adipose tissue mixed with stromal vascular fraction extracted by means of the four methods was grafted into rabbit ears. Volume retention and histologic changes were evaluated over 24 weeks. RESULTS Stromal vascular fraction activity was not influenced by low-frequency (≤45 Hz) and short-duration (≤20 minutes) vibrations. Vibration at 30 Hz for 15 minutes was most efficient for stromal vascular fraction extraction. In vitro, stromal vascular fraction extracted by vibration showed advantages for cell viability. In vivo, the vibration group showed a more normal tissue morphology and a higher retention rate (60.68 ± 7.07 percent) than the enzyme digestion (31.88 ± 4.99 percent), centrifugation (43.76 ± 4.32 percent), and nanoemulsion groups (21.79 ± 3.57 percent) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Vibration at 30 Hz for 15 minutes is recommended as a novel nonenzymatic method to extract stromal vascular fraction with high activity.

Abstract
Bone is a mechanosensitive tissue for which mechanical stimuli are crucial in maintaining its structure and function. Bone cells react to their biomechanical environment by activating molecular signaling pathways, which regulate their proliferation, differentiation, and matrix production. Bone implants influence the mechanical conditions in the adjacent bone tissue. Optimizing their mechanical properties can support bone regeneration. Furthermore, external biomechanical stimulation can be applied to improve implant osseointegration and accelerate bone regeneration. One promising anabolic therapy is vertical whole-body low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV). This form of vibration is currently extensively investigated to serve as an easy-to-apply, cost-effective, and efficient treatment for bone disorders and regeneration. This review aims to provide an overview of LMHFV effects on bone cells in vitro and on implant integration and bone fracture healing in vivo. In particular, we review the current knowledge on cellular signaling pathways which are influenced by LMHFV within bone tissue. Most of the in vitro experiments showed that LMHFV is able to enhance mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and osteoblast proliferation. Furthermore, osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and osteoblasts was shown to be accelerated by LMHFV, whereas osteoclastogenic differentiation was inhibited. Furthermore, LMHFV increased bone regeneration during osteoporotic fracture healing and osseointegration of orthopedic implants. Important mechanosensitive pathways mediating the effects of LMHFV might be the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, the estrogen receptor (ER) signaling pathway, and cytoskeletal remodeling.

Abstract
Directing the fate of human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSCs) toward bone formation using mechanical strain is a promising approach in regenerative medicine related to bone diseases. Numerous studies have evaluated the effects of vibration or cyclic tensile strain on MSCs towards developing a mechanically-based method for stimulating differentiation. Here, we study the differentiation of hMSCs cultured on elastic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane, which is magnetically actuated to induce periodically varying strain. The strain distribution across the membrane was calculated by finite-element modeling and demonstrates three main areas of different strain amplitudes. The strain effect on the hMSCs was evaluated by measuring the mineralization of differentiated hMSCs using Alizarin S red stain. The results indicate a strain-dependent differentiation of hMSCs, where the highest region of strain on the membrane resulted in the most accelerated differentiation. Osteogenic differentiation was achieved as early as two weeks, which is significantly sooner than control hMSCs treated with osteogenic media alone.

Vibration acceleration promotes endochondral formation during fracture healing through cellular chondrogenic differentiation. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0229127. [PMID: 32134943 PMCID: PMC7058294 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0229127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2019] [Accepted: 01/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Vibration acceleration through whole body vibration has been reported to promote fracture healing. However, the mechanism responsible for this effect remains unclear. Purpose of this study was to determine whether vibration acceleration directly affects cells around the fracture site and promotes endochondral ossification. Four-week-old female Wistar Hannover rats were divided into two groups (vibration [V group] and control [C group]). The eighth ribs on both sides were cut vertically using scissors. From postoperative day 3 to 11, vibration acceleration using Power Plate® (30 Hz, low amplitude [30-Low], 10 min/day) was applied in the V group. Mature calluses appeared earlier in the V group than in the C group by histological analysis. The GAG content in the fracture callus on day 6 was significantly higher in the V group than in the C group. The mRNA expressions of SOX-9, aggrecan, and Col-II in the fracture callus on day 6 and Col-X on day 9 were significantly higher in the V group than in the C group. For in vitro analysis, four different conditions of vibration acceleration (30 or 50 Hz with low or high amplitude [30-Low, 30-High, 50-Low, and 50-High], 10 min/day) were applied to a prechondrogenic cell (ATDC5) and an undifferentiated cell (C3H10T1/2). There was no significant difference in cell proliferation between the control and any of the four vibration conditions for both cell lines. For both cell lines, alcian blue staining was greater under 30-Low and 50-Low conditions than under control as well as 30-High and 50-High conditions on days 7 and 14. Vibration acceleration under 30-L condition upregulated chondrogenic gene expressions of SOX-9, aggrecan, Col-II, and Col-X. Low-amplitude vibration acceleration can promote endochondral ossification in the fracture healing in vivo and chondrogenic differentiation in vitro.

New diphenylphosphane derivatives of ketoconazole are promising antifungal agents. Sci Rep 2019; 9:16214.

Abstract
Four new derivatives of ketoconazole (Ke) were synthesized: diphenylphosphane (KeP), and phosphane chalcogenides: oxide (KeOP), sulphide (KeSP) and selenide (KeSeP). These compounds proved to be promising antifungal compounds towards Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans, especially in synergy with fluconazole. Simulations of docking to the cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase (azoles’ primary molecular target) proved that the new Ke derivatives are capable of inhibiting this enzyme by binding to the active site. Cytotoxicity towards hACSs (human adipose-derived stromal cells) of the individual compounds was studied and the IC50 values were higher than the MIC50 for C. albicans and S. cerevisiae. KeP and KeOP increased the level of the p21 gene transcript but did not change the level of p53 gene transcript, a major regulator of apoptosis, and decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential. Taken together, the results advocate that the new ketoconazole derivatives have a similar mechanism of action and block the lanosterol 14α-demethylase and thus inhibit the production of ergosterol in C. albicans membranes.

Abstract
High frequency (HF) mechanical vibration appears beneficial for in vitro osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the current mechanobiological understanding of the method remains insufficient. We designed high-throughput stimulators to apply horizontal or vertical high magnitude HF (HMHF; 2.5 Gpeak, 100 Hz) vibration on human adipose stem cells (hASCs). We analyzed proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization, and effects on the actin cytoskeleton and nuclei using immunocytochemical stainings. Proliferation was studied on a standard tissue culture plastic (sTCP) surface and on an adhesion supporting tissue culture plastic (asTCP) surface in basal (BM) and osteogenic (OM) culture medium conditions. We discovered that the improved cell adhesion was a prerequisite for vibration induced changes in the proliferation of hASCs. Similarly, the adhesion supporting surface enabled us to observe vibration initiated ALP activity and mineralization changes in OM condition. The horizontal vibration increased ALP activity, while vertical stimulation reduced ALP activity. However, mineralization was not enhanced by the HMHF vibration. We performed image-based analysis of actin and nuclei to obtain novel data of the intracellular-level responses to HF vibration in BM and OM conditions. Our quantitative results suggest that actin organizations were culture medium and stimulation direction dependent. Both stimulation directions decreased OM induced changes in nuclear size and elongation. Consequently, our findings of the nuclear deformations provide supportive evidence for the involvement of the nuclei in the mechanocoupling of HF vibration. Taken together, the results of this study enhanced the knowledge of the intracellular mechanisms of HF vibration induced osteogenesis of MSCs.

Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the expression of osteoblast and chondrocyte-related genes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), derived from rabbit adipose tissue, under mechanical vibration. The cells were placed securely on a vibrator's platform and subjected to 300 Hz of sinusoidal vibration, with a maximum amplitude of 10 μm, for 45 min per day, and for 14 consequent days, in the absence of biochemical reagents. The negative control group was placed in the conventional culture medium with no mechanical loading. The expression of osteoblast and chondrocyte-related genes was investigated using real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). In addition, F-actin fiber structure and alignment with the help of actin filament fluorescence staining were evaluated, and the level of metabolic activity of MSCs was determined by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. The real-time PCR study showed a significant increase of bone gene expression in differentiated cells, compared with MSCs (P < 0.05). On the other hand, the level of chondrocyte gene expression was not remarkable. Applying mechanical vibration enhanced F-actin fiber structure and made them aligned in a specific direction. It was also found that during the differentiation process, the metabolic activity of the cells increased (P < 0.05). The results of this work are in agreement with the well-accepted fact that the MSCs, in the absence of growth factors, are sensitive to low-amplitude, high-frequency vibration. Outcomes of this work can be applied in cell therapy and tissue engineering, when regulation of stem cells is required.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of medium harvested from septal cartilage cells on chondrogenic differentiation of adipose stem cells (hASCs) and to compare/contrast its properties to those of a commonly used standard medium formulation in terms of induction and maintenance of chondrogenic hASCs. Differentiation was carried out under three different conditions: septal cartilage medium-SCM, chondrogenic differentiation medium-CM, and 50:50 mixture of CM/SCM. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) markers were determined by flow cytometry. The cytotoxic and apoptotic effects were determined by MTS and Annexin V assay, respectively. The differentiation status of the cells was confirmed by Alcian blue staining, and quantitative real-time flow cytometry showed that hASCs were positive for MSCs, negative for hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial cell surface markers. According to MTS analysis, the first condition was not toxic at any concentration tested. Annexin V assay revealed that the application of different concentrations of SCM did not result in any cell death. The Alcian blue and gene expression analyses showed that the cells in the SCM group underwent the highest cartilage cell formation. The observed increase in chondrogenesis may offer better treatment options for the cartilage defects seen in nasal septum perforation.

Abstract
Stem cells have transformed the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and their potential to further advance these fields cannot be overstated. The stem cell niche is a dynamic microenvironment that determines cell fate during development and tissue repair following an injury. Classically, stem cells were studied in isolation of their microenvironment; however, contemporary research has produced a myriad of evidence that shows the importance of multiple aspects of the stem cell niche in regulating their processes. In the context of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine studies, the niche is an artificial environment provided by culture conditions. In vitro culture conditions may involve coculturing with other cell types, developing specific biomaterials, and applying relevant forces to promote the desired lineage commitment. Considerable advance has been made over the past few years toward directed stem cell differentiation; however, the unspecific differentiation of stem cells yielding a mixed population of cells has been a challenge. In this review, we provide a systematic review of the emerging strategies used for lineage commitment within the context of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. These strategies include scaffold pore-size and pore-shape gradients, stress relaxation, sonic and electromagnetic effects, and magnetic forces. Finally, we provide insights and perspectives into future directions focusing on signaling pathways activated during lineage commitment using external stimuli.

Abstract
Introduction In the current study, we investigated the effect of low magnitude, low frequency (LMLF) mechanical vibrations on the osteogenic differentiation potential of human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASC), taken from elderly patients. Methods During 21 days in osteogenic culture medium, cells were periodically exposed to three different frequencies (25, 35 and 45 Hz) of continuous sinusoidal oscillation, using a vibration generator. We measured cell proliferation, cell morphology, calcium and phosphorus deposition using Almar Blue assay, fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and a EDX detector, respectively. Osteogenic differentiation was measured by assessing protein and mRNA levels. Osteogenesis was confirmed by detection of specific markers with alkaline phosphatase and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for: bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), osteocalcin (OCL) and osteopontin (OPN). Results We found that 25 Hz vibrations had the greatest impact on hASC morphology, ultrastructure, and proliferation. We observed the formation of osteocyte- and hydroxyapatite-like structures, an increased quantity of calcium and phosphorus deposits, and increased differentiation in the stimulated groups. Conclusions Our findings suggest that LMLF vibrations could be used to enhance cell-based therapies for treatment of bone deficits, particularly in elderly patients, where the need is greatest.

Abstract
Background Electrical stimulation (ES) has been successfully used to treat bone defects clinically. Recently, both cellular and molecular approaches have demonstrated that ES can change cell behavior such as migration, proliferation and differentiation. Methods In the present study we exposed rat bone marrow- (BM-) and adipose tissue- (AT-) derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to direct current electrical stimulation (DC ES) and assessed temporal changes in osteogenic differentiation. We applied 100 mV/mm of DC ES for 1 h per day for three, seven and 14 days to cells cultivated in osteogenic differentiation medium and assessed viability and calcium deposition at the different time points. In addition, expression of osteogenic genes, Runx2, Osteopontin, and Col1A2 was assessed in BM- and AT-derived MSCs at the different time points. Results Results showed that ES changed osteogenic gene expression patterns in both BM- and AT-MSCs, and these changes differed between the two groups. In BM-MSCs, ES caused a significant increase in mRNA levels of Runx2, Osteopontin and Col1A2 at day 7, while in AT-MSCs, the increase in Runx2 and Osteopontin expression were observed after 14 days of ES. Discussion This study shows that rat bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived stem cells react differently to electrical stimuli, an observation that could be important for application of electrical stimulation in tissue engineering.
