- Abstract:
- BACKGROUND: Connective tissue subacromial bursa-derived progenitor cells (SBDCs) have been suggested as a potent biologic augment to promote healing of the repaired rotator cuff tendon. Maximizing the amount of retained progenitor cells at the tendon repair site is essential for ensuring an optimal healing environment, warranting a search for proadhesive and proliferative adjuvants. The purpose was to evaluate the effect of magnesium (Mg), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and a combination of both adjuvants on the in vitro cellular adhesion and proliferation potential of SBDCs on suture material commonly used in rotator cuff surgery. METHODS: SBDCs were isolated from subacromial bursa samples harvested during rotator cuff repair and cultured in growth media. Commercially available collagen-coated nonabsorbable flat-braided suture was cut into 1-inch pieces, placed into 48-well culture dishes, and sterilized under ultraviolet light. Either a one-time dose of 5 mM sterile Mg, 0.2 mL of PRP, or a combination of both adjuvants was added, while a group without treatment served as a negative control. Cellular proliferation and adhesion assays on suture material were performed for each treatment condition. RESULTS: Augmenting the suture with Mg resulted in a significantly increased cellular adhesion (total number of attached cells) of SBDCs compared to PRP alone (31,527 ± 19,884 vs. 13,619 ± 8808; P < .001), no treatment (31,527 ± 19,884 vs. 21,643 ± 8194; P = .016), and combination of both adjuvants (31,527 ± 19,884 vs. 17,121 ± 11,935; P < .001). Further, augmentation with Mg achieved a significant increase in cellular proliferation (absorbance) of SBDCs on suture material when compared to the PRP (0.516 ± 0.207 vs. 0.424 ± 0.131; P = .001) and no treatment (0.516 ± 0.207 vs. 0.383 ± 0.094; P < .001) group. The combination of Mg and PRP showed a significantly higher proliferation potential compared to PRP alone (0.512 ± 0.194 vs. 0.424 ± 0.131; P = .001) and no treatment (0.512 ± 0.194 vs. 0.383 ± 0.094; P < .001). There were no significant differences in the remaining intergroup comparisons (P > .05, respectively). CONCLUSION: Augmenting suture material with Mg resulted in a significantly increased cellular adhesion of SBDCs compared to untreated suture material, as well as augmentation with PRP alone or a combination of both adjuvants. Further, Mg with or without PRP augmentation achieved a significant increase in the cellular proliferation of SBDCs on suture material compared to untreated sutures and augmentation with PRP alone. Application of Mg may be a clinically feasible approach to optimizing the use of SBDCs as a biological augment in rotator cuff repair, while combined augmentation with PRP may harness the full potential for optimized tissue recovery due to the high concentration of PRP-derived growth factors.
