Stem cells can be obtained from a variety of sources. To compare the effect of cell source on the osteogenic differentiation potential, buccal fat pad-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BFP-MSCs), bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) and unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSCs) with different accessibility in time and region, were cultured on bioceramic (Bio-Oss®) coated electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold (PCL-Bio). After scaffold characterization, stem cells proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were investigated by MTT and Alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium content and gene expression assays. Proliferation rate of the stem cells was not significantly different with each other, only USSCs showed significantly lower proliferation rate while cultured on PCL-Bio; although, PCL-Bio showed better proliferation support in comparison with tissue culture plate and PCL. Mineralization of the BM-MSCs was significantly higher than others, while BFP-MSCs were close to it. Highest ALP activity was detected in BFP-MSCs cultured on PCL-Bio. USSCs demonstrated higher gene expression level in three genes, although differences were not huge compared to others. According to the results and due to the availability, facilitated preparation procedure and less patients suffering, BFP-MSCs have a better choice than BM-MSCs and USSCs for use in bone tissue engineering.
