Summary of effects of platelet-rich plasma on mesenchymal stem cells from various tissue sources in vitro

Cell type Intervention Outcome Reference
Sheep BMSCs
Double-spun PRP activated by CaCl2
Increased cell proliferation and Col II mRNA expression
[34]
Human BMSCs
50% platelet lysate after two cycles of freezing and thawing
Promoted proliferation and triggered chondrogenic differentiation
[55]
Human BMSCs
10% inactivated PRP (leukocyte concentration unreported)
Enhanced cell proliferation and Sox9, aggrecan and RUNX2 mRNA expression
[56]
Rabbit BMSCs, ADSCs
10% double-spun inactivated PRP
Increased cell proliferation and expression of Sox9, aggrecan, Col II and Col I mRNA and proteins
[21]
Mouse MDSCs
Double-spun PRP
Promoted cell proliferation, adhesion and migration of MDSCs, and increased number of cells producing Col II and cell apoptosis
[58]
Human subchondral progenitor cells 5% P-PRP after freezing and thawing Increased cell migration and cartilaginous matrix formation, but did not affect osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation [60]

ADSC, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell; BMSC, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell; Col, collagen; MDSC, muscle-derived mesenchymal stem cell; P-PRP, pure platelet-rich plasma; PRP, platelet-rich plasma.
