Despite of their important regulatory roles, in vitro studies of osteocytes have been challenging because:(1) current cell lines do not sufficiently represent the phenotypic features of mature osteocytes and(2) primary cells rapidly differentiate to osteoblasts upon isolation. In this study, we used a 3D perfusion culture approach to:(1) construct the 3D cellular network of primary murine osteocytes by biomimetic assembly with microbeads and(2) reproduce ex vivo the phenotype of primary murine osteocytes, for the first time to our best knowledge. In order to enable 3D construction with a sufficient number of viable cells, we used a proliferated osteoblastic population of healthy cells outgrown from digested bone chips. The diameter of microbeads was controlled to:(1) distribute and entrap cells within the interstitial spaces between the microbeads and(2) maintain average cell-to-cell distance to be about 19 mm. The entrapped cells formed a 3D cellular network by extending and connecting their processes through openings between the microbeads. Also, with increasing culture time, the entrapped cells exhibited the characteristic gene expressions(SOST and FGF23) and nonproliferative behavior of mature osteocytes. In contrast, 2D-cultured cells continued their osteoblastic differentiation and proliferation. This 3D biomimetic approach is expected to provide a new means of:(1) studying flow-induced shear stress on the mechanotransduction function of primary osteocytes,(2) studying physiological functions of 3D-networked osteocytes with in vitro convenience,and(3) developing clinically relevant human bone disease models.展开更多

The membership functions of test samples are given and all of the test samples are determined accordingly. The method is used to mine large wireless monitor data (about 3×107 data points),and knowledge is found effectively.展开更多
