Discerning Biomaterials-driven Transcriptome Dynamics to Induce Mesenchymal Stem Cell Differentiation
Bioactive materials harness the body's innate regenerative potential by directing endogenous progenitor cells to facilitate tissue repair. Dissolution products of inorganic biomaterials provide unique biomolecular signaling for tissue-specific differentiation. We demonstrate the role of the inorganic biomaterial synthetic two-dimensional (2D) nanosilicates, and its ionic dissolution products on human mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. We utilize whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), to characterize the contribution of nanosilicates and its ionic dissolution products on endochondral differentiation. Our study highlights the modulatory role of ions in stem cell transcriptome dynamics by regulating lineage-specific gene expression patterns. Overall design: Examination of effect of nSi and ion dissolution products on hMSC fate
