Abstract

Introduction
Endochondral ossification (EO) is the process of bone development via a cartilage template. It involves multiple stages, including chondrogenesis, mineralisation and angiogenesis. Importantly, how cartilage mineralisation affects angiogenesis during EO is not fully understood. Here we aimed to develop a new in vitro co-culture model to recapitulate and study the interaction between mineralised cartilage generated from human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) and microvascular networks.
Method
Chondrogenic hMSC pellets were generated by culture with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β3. For mineralised pellets, β-glycerophosphate (BGP) was added from day 7 and TGF-β3 was withdrawn on day 14. Conditioned medium (CM) from the pellets was used to evaluate the effect on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in migration, proliferation and tube …
