Objective To explore the effects on osteogenic differentiation of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) by simultaneously down-regulating Noggin combined with up-regulating bone morphogenetic protein 14 (BMP-14) in vitro. Methods Primary ADSCs were isolated and expanded in vitro from 5 Sprague Dawley rats (weighing, 250-300 g). ADSCs were transfected with lentiviral (Lv)-enhanced green fluorescent protein in group A (control group), with Lv-BMP-14 in group B, and with Lv-BMP-14 and Lv-Noggin shRNA in group C. BMP-14 and osteogenesis-related genes[collagen type I, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN)] mRNA expression levels were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR at 3, 7, and 14 days after transfection. Alizarin red staining for calcium nodules was also employed to assess the osteogenic ability of co-transfected ADSCs. Results At 3 days after transfection, no significant difference was found in BMP-14 mRNA expression among groups P>0.05). At 7 and 14 days after transfection, BMP-14 mRNA expression was significantly higher in group C than groups A and B, and in group B than group A (P<0.05). At 3 days after transfection, collagen type I, ALP, and OCN mRNA expressions of group C were significantly higher than those of groups A and B (P<0.05), but no significant difference was shown between groups A and B P>0.05). At 7 and 14 days, collagen type I, ALP, and OCN mRNA expressions were higher in group C than groups A and B, and in group B than group A, showing significant difference (P<0.05) except collagen type I mRNA expression at 7 days between groups A and B P>0.05). The results of alizarin red staining showed that the amount of calcium nodules presented an increased tendency in the order of group A, group B, and group C. Conclusion BMP-14 is capable of enhancing osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. A combination of inhibiting Noggin gene expression and enhancing BMP-14 gene expression in ADSCs can significantly strengthen osteogenic differentiation capability, showing significant synergistic effect.
