Descrizione sintetica in italiano | Serum samples will be collected from uremic patients in two different conditions (CKD stage 4-5 group and dialysis group). These sera will be tested on MSC culture from bone marrow, as a control will be used a pool of sera healthy patients. The effects of sera on MSC will be evaluated in terms of survival, proliferation, differentiating potential towards osteoblast lineage. Methods: Authorization of ethical committee. Preparation of human serum lots. Selection of 50 healthy subjects and 50 patients affected by stage 4-5 CDK and 50 patients undergone hemodialysis. Cell culture. Use of MSC from bone marrow, primary cell culture or from biobank. Preliminary evaluation: proliferation, vitality, cytotoxicity. Osteoblastic differentiation tests: evaluation of intracellular alkaline phosphatase, Alizarin Red staining and gene expression study. Use of scaffold for cellular growth. Treatment of serum culture with drugs; Serum evaluation before and after dialysis |
Descrizione sintetica in inglese | The use of biomaterial in patients affected by chronic renal failure (CRF) represents an important field for the relevance that chronic renal disease has in terms of prevalence in general population. Indeed, more than 10% of patients are affected by chronic renal failure and kidney transplant and dialysis are relatively diffused in general population. The increased percentage of patients with CRF is related to ageing, use of complex and invasive therapies, higher survival to common cardiovascular and oncological comorbidities. In this context, the use of scaffold and stem cells represents a novel challenge, different from normal biological background, as in patients who are not affected by CRF. This project is aimed to test in uremic blood the efficacy of novel therapeutic techniques, including scaffolds and stem cells in the osteo-articular functional recovery. |
