Bone grafting is necessary before dental implant treatment in patients with jaw bone defects. Currently, autologous bone grafting is a major burden on the patient. However, it is impossible to form a sufficient foundation for the implant with a bone-filling agent alone. It is, therefore, necessary to prepare hybrid artificial bone tissue containing osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In this study, mouse MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells and human embryonic-derived osteoblastic cell line hFOB1.19 were cultured in radial-flow bioreactors (RFB) to form three-dimensional artificial bone filled with porous beads of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) or hydroxyapatite (HA)-which are clinically used as bone-filling agents-as cell culture carriers. When circulation culturing was performed in the growth medium for the first 10-12 days, glucose consumption was increased in the cultures with HA beads in comparison to the cultures with β-TCP beads. When cultured in the differentiation culture medium during the second half of the culture period, the glucose consumption decreased in the culture with HA beads. A DNA microarray analysis suggested that osteogenesis progressed fast in three-dimensional culture filled with HA beads and that partly differentiation into osteoblasts was prominent in cultures with β-TCP beads. In the growth process of MC3T3-E1 cells, the vitamin A metabolism was also activated, the synthesis and degradation of retinoic acid was enhanced, and the metabolism of the same process decreased at the end of differentiation in three-dimensional cultures. Three-dimensional circulation culture in RFB is considered to be useful for the formation of hybrid bio-artificial bone tissue.
