Abstract

Angiogenesis plays an important role in bone development and postnatal bone fracture repair. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) have been thought to be primarily involved in promoting angiogenesis. It is well known that VEGF and its receptors have been reported to play an important role in the regulation of the interaction between angiogenesis and osteogenesis during bone repair processes. Dexamethasone, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, promotes phenotype markers of osteoblast differentiation, such as ALP and osteocalcin. It stimulates in vitro osteogenesis of human bone marrow osteogenic stromal cells. Dexamethasone has been reported to suppress VEGF gene expression in some cells. However, our previous study demonstrated VEGF quantification increased in a time-dependent manner in periosteal-derived osteogenesis under dexamethasone. So, the purpose of this study was to examine the angiogenic phenotypes in cultured human periosteal-derived cells under high-dose dexamethasone. Periosteal-derived cells were cultured using a technique previously described. After passage 3, the periosteal-derived cells were further cultured for 28 days in an osteogenic inductive culture medium containing ascorbic acid, ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate and high-dose dexamethasone, We evaluated the expression of VEGF isoforms, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and neuropilin-1, ALL VEGF isoforms ($VEGF_{121},\;VEGF_{165},\;VEGF_{189}$, and $VEGF_{206}$) expression was observed by RT-PCR analysis. VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2 and neuropilin-1 expression increased up to day 14, particularly during the early stage of mineralization. Our results suggest the involvement of direct VEGFs/VEGFRs system on periosteal-derived cells during early mineralization phase under high-dose of dexamethasone. These also suggest that VEGF might act as an autocrine growth molecule during osteoblastic differentiation of cultured human periosteal-derived cells.
