Introduction
MTT assay
• MTT
(3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide)
• Colorimetric assay
• Determines the cellular metabolic activity / cell vitality
• MTT is reduced to its purple and insoluable formazan in living
cells (metabilic active cells)
• Reduction of MTT increases with cellular metabolic activity
• Dissolving of formazan results in a coloured solution; absorbance
can be detected

Introduction
Question
• Osteoblast growth/vitality/metabolic activity depending on different
supplements.
• How do PRP (+ Leucocytes), PRP and PPP affect osteoblast
vitality in a MTT assay?
PRP – platelet rich plasma
PPP – platelet pure plasma

Conclusion
Conclusion
• Plasma itself cannot replace cell culture media
• Platelets release growth stimulating factors: Platelet derived
growth factor (PGDF)
• Leucocytes seem to have additional growth stimulating impact
• Decreased reduction of MTT after 96h
– Metabolic products / dying (sedimented) cells built sticky layer
– decreased gas exchange
– Detachment of the cells
15
Outlook
Outlook
• Upcoming experiments
– Investigate if platelet rich plasma containing leucocytes can
fully replace osteoblast cell culture media in the long-term
– Distinguish between activated and inactive platelets and
determine the effect on osteoblast growth
– Avoiding sticky layer by using inserts like ThinCert™ cell
culture inserts
