ABSTRACT
Calcified cartilage digested by chondroclasts provides an excellent scaffold to initiate bone formation. We analyzed bioactive proteins and microarchitecture of calcified cartilage either separately or in combination and evaluated biomimetic osteogenic culture conditions of surface-coated micropatterning. To do so, we prepared a crude extract from porcine femoral growth plates, which enhanced in vitro mineralization when coated on flat-bottom culture dishes, and identified four candidate proteins by fractionation and mass spectrometry. Murine homologues of two candidates, desmoglein 4 (DSG4) and peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6), significantly promoted osteogenic activity based on in vitro mineralization and osteoblast differentiation. Moreover, we observed DSG4 and PRDX6 protein expression in mouse femur. In addition, we designed circular, triangular, and honeycomb micropatterns with 30 or 50 µm units, either isolated or connected, to mimic hypertrophic chondrocyte-sized compartments. Isolated, larger honeycomb patterns particularly enhanced osteogenesis in vitro. Mineralization on micropatterns was positively correlated with the reduction of osteoblast migration distance in live cell imaging. Finally, we evaluated possible combinatorial effects of coat proteins and micropatterns and observed an additive effect of DSG4 or PRDX6 coating with micropatterns. These data suggest that combining a bioactive surface coating with osteogenic micropatterns may recapitulate initiation of bone formation during endochondral ossification.
