In the present study, the in vitro biocompatibility of calcium metaphosphate (CMP) with human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs) and its effect on osteoblastic differentiation have been investigated. Powder and disk forms of CMP do not exert a cytotoxic effect on the HBMSCs undergoing osteoblastic differentiation. In addition, the HBMSCs adhere to the surface of the CMP disk as successfully as to the culture plate or hydroxyapatite (HA) disk. The HBMSCs adhered to either the HA or CMP disk display an undistinguishable actin arrangement and cellular phenotypes, indicating that the CMP does not disrupt normal cellular responses. An analysis of the differentiation of the HBMSCs cultured on culture plate, the HA and the CMP disk shows that three matrices are capable of supporting osteoblastic differentiation of the HBMSCs as accessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining. Further molecular analysis of osteoblastic differentiation of HBMSCs reveals that the CMP disk has a better ability than the HA disk to induce an expression of osteoblast-related genes, including ALP, osteoprotegerin (OPG), a decoy receptor for RANK ligand, and osteopontin (OPN), a non-collagenous bone matrix protein. The results demonstrate that, in addition to favorable biocompatibility, the CMP can stimulate osteoblastic differentiation of the HBMSCs in vitro.
