Outline of Final Research Achievements

Therapeutic method for in vivo stem cell or gene delivery has not been established on bone engineering though its potential usefulness has been suggested. In this study, we focused on the esosomes that were derived from osteogenic gene transduced mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). As experiments, osteogenic MSC-exosomes (MSC-ex) were harvested from cultured mouse bone marrow-MSCs after BMP2/4 gene transfer using plasmid vector. Then, we confirmed the character and the osteogenic induction ability of osteogenic MSC-ex in culture. As results, the expression of BMP2/4 mRNAs in osteogenic MSC-ex was significantly up-regulated, and its osteogenic induction ability was recognized when MSC-ex was added to the MSCs in culture. Therefore, we are currently carrying out in vivo experiments for clarifying the usefulness of GAM combined with osteogenic MSC-ex.
