"Kitosan telah diketahui sebagai material scaffold poten pada rekayasa jaringan tulang. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis potensi lain kitosan sebagai induktor diferensiasi sel punca pulpa gigi (SPPG) menjadi osteoblas dibandingkan dengan deksametason yang telah umum digunakan, melalui ekspresi mRNA Col1A1. SPPG dikultur pada medium yang mengandung kitosan, deksametason dan kombinasi keduanya selama 7 hari. Ekspresi mRNA Col1A1 diuji dengan metode comparative CT real-time PCR. Medium mineralizing yang ditambahkan 5 ng/ml kitosan dapat meningkatkan ekspresi mRNA Col1A1 pada SPPG dibandingkan dengan kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan lainnya (p<0,05). Kitosan dapat menginduksi diferensiasi tahap awal SPPG menjadi osteoblas bergantung pada konsentrasi yang diberikan.

Chitosan has been proven as potential scaffold in bone tissue engineering. This research intends to analyze the other potency of chitosan as inductor in dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) differentiation into osteoblast compared to dexamethasone which is commonly used, by Col1A1 mRNA expression. DPSC were cultured in medium loaded with chitosan, dexamethasone and combination of both for 7 days. Col1A1 mRNA expression was analyzed by comparative CT method real time PCR. Mineralizing medium loaded with 5 ng/ml chitosan could enhance Col1A1 mRNA expression compared to control and another treated group on p<0,05. Chitosan could stimulate early stage of osteoblast differentiation. The effect was dose-dependent."

"Kitosan dan deksametason merupakan material yang digunakan dalam rekayasa jaringan tulang. Kitosan biasa digunakan sebagai scaffold, sedangkan deksametason sering digunakan sebagai sinyal. Salah satu penanda diferensiasi osteoblas adalah Alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efek kitosan dibandingkan deksametason dalam menginduksi diferensiasi osteoblas melalui aktivitas ALP pada sel punca pulpa gigi (SPPG). Aktivitas ALP dianalisis dengan ALP assay. Terdapat 4 perlakuan yang memiliki aktivitas ALP diatas kontrol, yakni kitosan 5 ng/ml, deksametason 10 nM dan 100 nM, serta campuran kitosan 5 ng/ml dan deksametason 10 nM. Peningkatan konsentrasi deksametason meningkatkan aktivitas ALP. Peningkatan konsentrasi kitosan menurunkan aktivitas ALP.

Chitosan and dexamethasone are materials that can be used in bone tissue engineering. Chitosan is often used as a scaffold, while dexamethasone is often used as signal. One of the markers of osteoblast differentiation is Alkaline phosphatase (ALP). This research objective is to analyse the effects of chitosan compared to dexamethasone in inducing osteoblast differentiation through ALP activity in Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs). ALP activity determined by ALP Assay. There were four treatments that have higher activity than the control, they are chitosan 5 ng/ml, 10 nM dexamethasone and 100 nM, and mixture of chitosan 5 ng/ml and 10 nM dexamethasone. The increased concentrations of dexamethasone increases ALP activity and the higher concentration of chitosan will decrease the ALP activity."

"In recent years, cancer stem cells have been recognized as important component in carcinogenesis and they seem to form the basis of many (if not all) tumor types. Cancer stem cells or "cancer cell like stem cells" have been isolated from various cancers of different origin (blood, breast, brain, skin, head and neck, thyroid, cervix, lung, retina, colon, pancreas and so on). Cancer stem cells - rare cells with indefinite proliferative potential that drive the formation and growth of tumours- seem to show intriguing relationships with physiological stem cells. Specifically, these cancer cells show significant similarities in the mechanisms that regulate self-renewal of normal stem cells. Moreover, tumour cells might directly arise from normal stem cells. Further, the cellular biology of cancer stem cells show a lot of similarities with normal stem cells."

"Pendahuluan: Osteoartritis (OA) adalah penyakit sendi degeneratif yang ditandai oleh kerusakan tulang rawan.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage damage. The limited regenerative capability of articular cartilage poses a therapeutic challenge. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) exosomes have shown potential in regenerating cartilage structure in previous in vivo studies on small animals. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of intra-articular injections of adipose-derived MSC exosomes and hyaluronic acid (HA) on cartilage regeneration in a sheep osteoarthritis model.

Methods: This in vivo study involved 18 male sheep induced with OA through meniscectomy. The sheep were randomized and divided into three intervention groups: Group 1 (adipose MSC exosomes + HA), Group 2 (adipose MSC exosomes), and Group 3 (HA). Structural and microstructural assessments were conducted 6 weeks post-intervention. Microscopic evaluation using histological scoring with the Pineda score, cartilage regeneration assessment through histochemical and immunohistochemical examinations, and microtopographic examination using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were performed.

Results and Discussion: Cartilage regeneration in the combination group of adipose MSC exosomes + HA exhibited a larger area of hyaline cartilage compared to adipose MSC exosomes or HA alone (40.38 ± 9.35% vs. 34.93 ± 2.32% vs. 31.08 ± 3.47%; p = 0.034) and a smaller area of fibrocartilage compared to adipose MSC exosomes or HA alone (13.06 ± 2.21% vs. 18.67 ± 3.13% vs. 28.14 ± 3.67%; p = 0.037). Microtopographic examination showed a much more homogeneous and smoother cartilage surface in the combination group of adipose MSC exosomes + HA compared to the adipose MSC exosomes or HA groups alone.

Conclusion: In a sheep knee OA model, intra-articular injection of a combination of adipose-derived MSC exosomes + HA can enhance cartilage regeneration compared to injections of adipose-derived MSC exosomes or HA alone."

AbstractAim Lipoaspirate, a wasted by product from liposuction procedure recently has been shown to contain abundant mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs have been studied in many research areas to regenerate many cell lineages including, myogenic, cardiomyogenic, and angiogenic lineages. The large quantity of MSCs in lipoaspirate, makes it an attractive source for stem cells used in research and clinical applications. A simplified method which is suitable to be performed in a basic laboratory will facilitate development of stem cell research in developing countries. Therefore the outcomes from this study are expected to encourage the progress of stem cell research in Indonesia.Methods Lipoaspirate was digested using collagenase type I, followed by a basic filtration method. Purification of MSCs was done by cell culture for 2-3 days followed by supernatant removal. To confirm the homogenous population of MSCs, an analysis using flowcytometry was performed based on the MSCs minimal criteria developed by Mesenchymal and Tissue Stem Cell Committee of the International Society of Cell Therapy.Resuts MSCs were able to be obtained at 16.41 ± 8.22 x 108 cells per 120 ml lipoaspirate. The cultured cells showed fibroblastic morphology which is characteristic for MSCs and were able to be purified from non-MSCs cells. This was confirmed by flowcytometry assay showing expression of CD105 and the absence of HLA-Class II, CD 45, CD 34, CD14, and CD19.Conclusions This study has shown that it was feasible to isolate messenchymal stem cell from human lipoaspirate. The procedure was practicable to be performed within a basic laboratory. "
