ABSTRACT: Introduction
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) play a crucial role in promoting tissue regeneration and healing, particularly in bone tissue. Both smoking and nicotine use are known to delay and inhibit the healing process in patients. This study aims at delineating these cellular effects by comparing the impact of nicotine alone to cigarette smoke with equivalent nicotine content, and shedding light on potential differences in the healing process.Methods
We examined how cigarette smoke and nicotine affect the migration, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of human patient-derived MSCs in vitro, as well as the secretion of cytokines IL-6 and IL-8. We measured nicotine concentration of the cigarette smoke extract (CSE) to clarify the role of the nicotine in t
