Impact of Vancomycin Treatment on Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells During Osteogenic Differentiation:

摘要

Category:Basic Sciences/BiologicsIntroduction/Purpose:Vancomycin is often delivered locally for surgical site infection prophylaxis. Recent reports of possible osteotoxicity have led to uncertainty concerning vancomycin’s safety in the setting of arthrodesis and bone healing. Bone formation during arthrodesis takes place as recruited human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) proliferate and differentiate into mature osteoblasts. The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of vancomycin treatment on hMSCs during osteogenic differentiation.Methods:Human MSCs were cultured in MSC growth media to an appropriate confluence. Cells were cultured for 24 hours to facilitate adherence, after which the media was aspirated and replaced with osteogenic differentiation media (Lonza, Switzerland). Osteogenic differentiation media was supplemented with vancomycin powder to yield solutions with concentrations of 0, 50, 500 & 5000 μg/mL. Fresh vancomycin powder was added with every media change. MSCs viability a...
