ABSTRACT
We fabricated a microfluidic chip (osteoblast [OB]-osteoclast [OC] chip) that could regulate the mixture amounts of OB and OC supernatants to investigate the effect of different supernatant distributions on osteogenesis or osteoclastogenesis. Computer-aided design was used to produce an OB-OC chip from polydimethylsiloxane. A pressure controller was assembled and different blends of OB and OC supernatants were correctly determined. OB and OC supernatants were placed on the upper panels of the OB-OC chip after differentiation for an in vitro evaluation. We then tested the changes in osteogenesis using MC3T3-E1 cells in the middle chambers. We observed that a 7525 distribution of OB and OC supernatants was the most potent in osteogenesis. We then primed the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells using an OB-OC mixed supernatant or an OB supernatant alone (supernatant ratios of 7525 or 1000, respectively). These cells were placed on the calvarial defect sites of rats. Microcomputed tomography and histological analyses determined a significantly higher bone formation in the group exposed to the OB-OC supernatant at a ratio of 7525. In this study, we demonstrate the applicability of an OB-OC chip to evaluate the effect of different supernatant distributions of OB and OC. We observed that the highest bone-forming potential was in MC3T3-E1 cells treated with conditioned media, specifically the OB-OC supernatant at a ratio of 7525.
