  • IN VIVO ENDOCHONDRAL BONE FORMATION BY IMPLANTING HUMAN BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN-2PRODUCING FIBROBLASTS INTO NUDE MOUSE MUSCLE

    Objective To determine whether fibroblasts can be used to promote endochondral bone formation in vivo by transfer of human bone morphogenetic protein-2(hBMP-2) into fibroblasts. Methods pcDNA3-hBMP-2 was constructed by use of gene clone and recombined technique.NIH3T3 fibroblasts were transfected with pcDNA3hBMP-2. The positive cell clones were selected with G418. In NIH3T3 fibroblaststransferred with pcDNA3-hBMP-2, the expression of hBMP-2 was determined by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis; alkaline phosphatase activity was measured. hBMP-2producing fibroblasts were implanted into nude mouse muscle to observe endochondral bone formation in vivo. Results pcDNA3-hBMP-2 was successfully constructed. In NIH3T3 fibroblasts transfected with -pcDNA3-hBMP-2,the BMP-2 expression was stable; alkaline phophatase activity was much higher than that in nontransfectedNIH3T3 cells. Endochondral bone formation invivo was observed at the site of implantation 4 weeks later.Conclusion Fibroblasts transfected by hBMP-2 gene can be used to promote endochondral bone formation in vivo.

  • OSTEOGENIC POTENTIAL OF THREE KINDS OF CALCIUM PHOSPHATE CERAMICS AS CARRIERS FOR RECOMBINANT HUMAN MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN-2 IN VIVO

    Objective To investigate and compare the osteogenic potential of three kinds of calcium phosphate ceramic as carriers for recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2(rhBMP-2) in vivo.Methods BCPceramics (HA,TCP,HA/TCP) impregnated with rhBMP-2 (experimental groups) and without rhBMP-2(control groups) were implanted into 6 muscles pockets on the dorsum of 3month-old Wistar rabbits. The rabbits were sacrificed 2, 4 and 8 weeks after implantation and bone induction was estimated by alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity measurement. The implants were also examined histologically and histomorphometrically by HE staining and computerized graphical analysis. Results The ALPactivity of implants withrhBMP-2 was higher than that of control groups(P<0.05), but there was no difference between 2 and 4 weeks in experimental groups. In all experimental groups,theimplants exhibited that new bone formation increased with the lapse of time. The amount of new bone formation is more in -HA/rhBMP-2 group than in the other two group in the 2nd and 4th weeks, but there was no difference between them (P>0.05).In the 8th week, the amount of bone formation was most in HA/TCP with -rhBMP-2, and was more than that in the 2nd and 4th weeks. Whereas in control groups, there was only fibrous connective tissue. Conclusion HA/TCP- is a good carriers of rhBMP-2 and can be used as bone substitutes clinically.

  • PREPARATION OF rhBMP-2/BCB RECONSTITUTED BONE XENOGRAFT AND ASSAY OFITS OSTEOINDUCTIVITY

    Objective To investigate a new grafting material of bone xenograft with b bone inductive and conductive capacity. Methods Based on successful clinical application of the reconstituted bone xenograft (RBX), a new xenograft was made by combining recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) with antigen-free bovine cancellous bone (BCB). Sixty male BALB/C mice aged 4 weeks were divided into study group of 30 and control group of 30 randomly. rhBMP-2 / BCB was implanted in the left thigh muscle pouch in the study group andBCB in the control group. The mice were sacrificed at 7 d, 14d and 21d after implantation. Inductivity of rhBMP-2/BCB was detected by histological observation and biochemical determination of the samples. Results Histological examinationshowed that rhBMP-2/BCB induced chondrogenesis on the 7th day, with woven boneformed on the 14th day, and lamellar bone and marrow on the 21st day, while BCBfailed to induce chondrogenesis or osteogenesis on the 7th, 14th and 21st days. The alkaline phosphatase activities and calcium content in study group were higher than those in control group with significant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion rhBMP-2/BCB is an ideal grafting material with b bone inductive and conductive capacity without evoking immune reaction.

  • Ectopic Osteogenesis In Vivo Using Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Derived Peptide Loaded Biodegradable Hydrogel

    We investigated the development of an injectable, biodegradable hydrogel composite of poly(trimethylene carbonate)-F127-poly(trimethylene carbonate)(PTMC11-F127-PTMC11)loaded with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) derived peptide P24 for ectopic bone formation in vivo and evaluated its release kinetics in vitro. Then we evaluated P24 peptide release kinetics from different concentration of PTMC11-F127-PTMC11 hydrogel in vitro using bicinchoninic acid (BCA)assay. P24/PTMC11-F127-PTMC11 hydrogel was implanted into each rat's erector muscle of spine and ectopic bone formation of the implanted gel in vivo was detected by hematoxylin and eosin stain (HE). PTMC11-F127-PTMC11 hydrogel with concentration more than 20 percent showed sustained slow release for one month after the initial burst release. Bone trabeculae surround the P24/PTMC11-F127-PTMC11 hydrogel was shown at the end of six weeks by hematoxylin and eosin stain. These results indicated that encapsulated bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2) derived peptide P24 remained viable in vivo, thus suggesting the potential of PTMC11-F127-PTMC11 composite hydrogels as part of a novel strategy for localized delivery of bioactive molecules.

  • Sustained release of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 combined with stromal vascular fraction cells in promoting posterolateral spinal fusion in rat model

    ObjectiveTo observe the effect of stromal vascular fraction cells (SVFs) from rat fat tissue combined with sustained release of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in promoting the lumbar fusion in rat model.MethodsSVFs were harvested from subcutaneous fat of bilateral inguinal region of 4-month-old rat through the collagenase I digestion. The sustained release carrier was prepared via covalent bond of the rhBMP-2 and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) by the biominetic apatite coating process. The sustained release effect was measured by BCA method. Thirty-two rats were selected to establish the posterolateral lumbar fusion model and were divided into 4 groups, 8 rats each group. The decalcified bone matrix (DBX) scaffold+PBS, DBX scaffold+rhBMP-2/β-TCP sustained release carrier, DBX scaffold+SVFs, and DBX scaffold+rhBMP-2/β-TCP sustained release carrier+SVFs were implanted in groups A, B, C, and D respectively. X-ray films, manual spine palpation, and high-resolution micro-CT were used to evaluate spinal fusion at 8 weeks after operation; bone mineral density (BMD) and bone volume fraction were analyzed; the new bone formation was evaluated by HE staining and Masson’s trichrome staining, osteocalcin (OCN) was detected by immunohistochemical staining.ResultsThe cumulative release amount of rhBMP-2 was about 40% at 2 weeks, indicating sustained release effect of rhBMP-2; while the control group was almost released within 2 weeks. At 8 weeks, the combination of manual spine palpation, X-ray, and micro-CT evaluation showed that group D had the strongest bone formation (100%, 8/8), followed by group B (75%, 6/8), group C (37.5%, 3/8), and group A (12.5%, 1/8). Micro-CT analysis showed BMD and bone volume fraction were significantly higher in group D than groups A, B, and C (P<0.05), and in group B than groups A and C (P<0.05). HE staining, Masson’s trichrome staining, and immunohistochemistry staining for OCN staining exhibited a large number of cartilage cells with bone matrix deposition, and an active osteogenic process similar to the mineralization of long bones in group D. The bone formation of group B was weaker than that of group D, and there was no effective new bone formation in groups A and C.ConclusionThe combination of sustained release of rhBMP-2 and freshly SVFs can significantly promote spinal fusion in rat model, providing a theoretical basis for further clinical applications.
