  • CONCENTRATION- OR TIME-DEPENDENT MANNER OF RECOMBINANT BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 2 IN REGULATING EXPRESSION OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR

    Objective To study biological rule of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) in regulating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) at different induced concentrations and time points at gene level and protein level. Methods ADSCs were separated from adult human adipose tissues and cultured until passage 3. After ADSCs were induced by rhBMP-2 in concentrations of 0, 50, 100, and 200 ng/ mL respectively for 24 hours, and by 100 ng/mL rhBMP-2 for 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 hours (ADSCs were not induced at corresponding time point as controls) respectively, the VEGF mRNA and protein expressions were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA. Results The VEGF mRNA and protein expressions induced by rhBMP-2 were concentration-dependent; the expressions were highest in a concentration of 100 ng/mL. The VEGF mRNA expression in concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 ng/mL were significantly higher than that in a concentration of 0 ng/mL (P lt; 0.05); and the expression in concentration of 100 ng/ mL was significantly higher than that in concentrations of 50 and 200 ng/mL (P lt; 0.05). The VEGF protein expression in a concentration of 100 ng/mL was significantly higher than that in the other concentrations (P lt; 0.05). The VEGF mRNA and protein expressions induced by rhBMP-2 were time-dependent. The VEGF mRNA and protein expressions at 3 and 6 hours after induction were significantly lower than those of non-induced ADSCs (P lt; 0.05); the expressions were lower at 12 hours after induction, showing no significant difference when compared with those of non-induced ADSCs (P gt; 0.05); the expressions reached peak at 18 and 24 hours after induction, and were significantly higher than those of non-induced ADSCs (P lt; 0.05); the expressions decreased in induced and non-induced ADSCs at 36 and 48 hours, showing no significant difference between induced and non-induced ADSCs (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion rhBMP-2 adjusts VEGF expression of ADSCs in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The optimum inductive concentration of rhBMP-2 is 100 ng/mL, induced to 18-24 hours is a key period when rhBMP-2 is used to promote tissue engineering bone vascularization.

  • PREPARATION OF RECOMBINANT HUMAN BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 2 DECORATED β TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE/COLLAGEN AND PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON ITS PROPERTIES OF INDUCING TOOTH了 FORMATION

    Objective To explore a novel nanometer biomaterial which could induce the regeneration of tooth tissues intell igently, and to evaluate the feasibil ity of using this kind of biomaterial as the scaffold for tooth tissue engineering by investigating the role it plays in tooth tissue engineering. Methods The scaffold for tooth tissue engineering containing recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) was prepared by mixing nanoscale β tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/collagen particles. Forty-six 8-10 weeks old specific pathogen free Sprague Dawley (SD)rats, including 34 females and 12 males, weighing 250-300 g, were involved in this study. Tooth germs were removed under a stereomicroscope from the mandible of newborn SD rat, then digested and suspended. Scanning electronic microscope (SEM), adhesion rate of cells, and MTT assay were used to evaluate the effects of the scaffold on the tooth germ cells cultured in vitro. The tissue engineered tooth germ which was constructed by tooth germ cells and scaffold was transplanted under SD rat’s kidney capsule as the experimental group (n=12); the tooth germ cells (cell-control group, n=12) or scaffold without cells (material-control group, n=4) were transplanted separately as control groups Specimens were harvested to perform general and histological observations at 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation. Results β-TCP/collagen showed a loose and porous appearance with soft texture and excellent hydrophil icity. Tooth germ cells grew well and could attach to the scaffold tightly 3 days after coculture. The adhesion rates of tooth germ cells were 27.20% ± 2.37%, 44.52% ± 1.87%, and 73.81% ± 4.15% when cocultured with scaffold for 4, 8, and 12 hours, respectively. MTT assay showed that the cell prol iferation status of experimental group was similar to that of the control group, showing no significant difference (P gt; 0.05). Some white calcified specimens could be harvested at 4-8 weeks after transplantation. At 4 weeks after transplantation some typical structures of dental cusp and enamel-dentin l ike tissues could be seen in the experimental group. Enamel-dentin l ike tissues also formed in some specimens of cell-control group, but they arranged irregularly. At 8 weeks after transplantation the enamel-dentin l ike tissue of experimental group exhibited a mature appearance and organized structure in comparison with that at 4 weeks. And mature enamel or dentin l ike tissue also could be seen in cell-control group. In contrast, there was no enamel or dentin l ike tissue in material-control group at 4 or 8 weeks after transplantation. Conclusion rhBMP-2 decorated β-TCP/collagen scaffold has good biocompatibil ity and can be used as a novel nanometer biomaterial, so it is a good choice in scaffolds for tooth tissue engineering.

    Objective To investigate the effect of tissue engineering bone compounded in vitro by nanohydroxyapatite/collagen/ polylactic acid (nHAC/PLA) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) in repairing rabbit critical calvarial defects. Methods Forty eight New Zealand rabbits, weighting 2.0-2.5 kg, were made the models of critical cranial defects(15 mm in diameter) and divided into 4 groups randomly. Defects were repaired with autoflank bone in the positive control group; with no implant in the blank control group; with nHAC/PLA in the negative control; and with active nHAC/PLA(AnHAC/PLA) in the experimental group(the average quality of each AnHAC/PLA absorbed rhBMP-2 was 1.431 mg). The reapir results were observed through X-ray,HE dyeing and Masson’s trichrism dyeing after 8 and 16 weeks. Results The difference of bone formation was observed by X-ray block degree of skull defect area at 8 and 16 weeks. In the 8 th week and 16 th week, the radiopacities on cranial defect were 67.21%±2.06% and 86.48%±1.73% in the positive control group; 5.84%±1.92% and 9.48%±2.72% in the blank control group; 19.13%±2.51% and 35.67%±3.28% in the negative control group; and 58.84%±2.55% and 8561%±3.36% in the experimental group. There were significant differences between the negative control and the positive control group, and between the experimental group and the positive control group at 8 weeks(Plt;0.05) . There were significant differences between the negative control and blank group, and between the experiment and the blank group at 8 and 16 weeks(P<0.05). The histology observation showed that the width of bone trabecula at 16 weeks was more than that at 8 weeks and bone defectwas full of bone tissue in positive control group. The bone defect was full of fibrous tissue at 8 and 16 weeks, and there was no new bone in the blank group. The bone defect was full of remnant material and fibrous tissue in the negative control group. The implanted area was replaced by the new bone at 8 weeks and the new bone was lamellar at 16 weeks in the experimental group; the residual material was less in defect area and there were more osteoblasts surrounding. Conclusion The nHAC/PLA is a good scaffoldmaterial of rhBMP-2 and AnHAC/PLA has agood ability in repairing bone defect. So it is hopeful to be applied in the clnical repair of large bone defect.

  • EFFECTS OF RECOMBINANT HUMAN BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 2 ANDOSTEOGENIC AGENTS ON ROLIFERATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF RAT MESENCHYMAL STEMCELLS

    Objective To investigate the effects of the recombinanthuman bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) and/or the osteogenic agents on proliferation and expression of the osteoblast phenotype differentiation of the SD rat mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs). Methods The rat MSCs were cultured in vitro and were randomly divided into the experimental groups(Groups A-I) and the control group. In the experimental group, MSCs were induced by rhBMP2 in different doses (10, 50, 100 and 200 μg/L) in Groups BE, the osteogenic agent alone (Group A) and by the combined use of rhBMP-2 [in different doses (10,50, 100 and 200 μg/L)] and the osteogenic agent in Groups F-I. The MTT colorimetric assay was used to evaluate the proliferation, and the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OC) were observed at 3, 6, 9, 12 days, respectively. Results The inverted phase contrast microscopy showed that MSCs by primary culture for 12 hours were adhibited, with a fusiform shape at 48 hours. At 4 days they were polygonal or atractoid, and were spread gyrately or radiately at 6 days. At 10 days, they were spread at the bottom of the bottle.The statistical analysis showed that the expression of the osteoblast phenotype differentiation of MSCs could be induced in the experimental groups. The proliferation of MSCs could be enhanced in a dosedependent manner in GroupsB-E. The expression of the osteoblast phenotype differentiation, which was tested by the activities of ALP and OC, was significantly higher in Groups F-I than in Groups A-E. Conclusion The combined use of rhBMP-2 and the osteogenic agents can enhance the MSC proliferation and induce an expressionand maintenance of the osteoblast phenotype differentiation of the rat MSCs.

  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE POROUS CALCIUM PHOSPHATE CEMENT COMBINED WITH RECOMBINANT HUMAN BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 2 FOR BONE DEFECTS REPAIR

    Objective To study in vitro sustained release behaviour of the recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2(rhBMP-2) from the sample which porous calcium phosphate cement (PCPC) was combined with rhBMP-2, and to evaluate the effect of PCPC/rhBMP-2 composite on repairing bone defect in the animalstudy.Methods rhBMP-2 was absorbed into PCPC by vacuum-adsorption and freeze-dried at -40℃, the PCPC/rhBMP-2 enwrapped with chitosan as the experimental group, the pure PCPC/rhBMP-2 as the control group, then the sustained release ofrhBMP-2 from PCPC was determined in simulated body fluid (SBF) by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. At same time, the PCPC/rhBMP-2 composites with chitosan were implanted into the (4.2 mm×5.0 mm femora defects of rabbits, which were considered as the experimental group, whereas in the control group only PCPC was implanted. The effect of repairingbone defect was evaluated in the 4th and 8th week postoperatively by radiograph and histomorphology.Results The PCPC have a high absorption efficiency to rhBMP-2, and the release of rhBMP-2 was sustained release system. The release of rhBMP-2 from PCPC in the experimental group (99% after 350 hours) was slowerthan that in the control group (100% after 150 hours). In the experimental group, the radiological and histomorphological evaluations showed that theinterfaces between the materials and host bones became blurred both at 4th and 8th week. The implanted materials were partially absorbed, and the implanted areas exhibited the formation of new bone. In the control group, a little amount of new bones was observed. Conclusion The PCPC shows great clinical potential as a carrier for rhBMP-2. The PCPC/rhBMP-2 composite possesses much potentialities of osteoinductivity and the ability of repairing bone defect, so it can be used as a novel bone substitute clinically. 

  • TISSUE ENGINEERED BONE REGENERATION OF PERIOSTEAL CELLS USINGRECOMBINANT HUMAN BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 2 INDUCE

    Objective To investigate bone regeneration of the cell-biomaterial complex using strategies of tissue engineering based on cells.Methods Hydroxyapatite/collagen (HAC) sandwich composite was produced to mimic the natural extracellular matrix of bone, with type Ⅰ collagen servingas a template for apatite formation. A three-dimensional ploy-porous scaffoldwas developed by mixing HAC with poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) using a thermally induced phase separation technique (TIPS). The rabbit periosteal cells were treated with 500 ng/ml of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2(rhBMP-2), followed by seeded into pre-wet HAC-PLA scaffolds. Eighteen 3-month nude mice were implanted subcutaneously cell suspension (groupA, n=6), simple HAC-PLA scaffold (group B, n=6) and cell-biomaterial complex(group C, n=6) respectively.Results Using type Icollagen to template mineralization of calcium and phosphate in solution, we get HAC sandwich composite, mimicking the natural bone both in compositionand microstructure. The three dimensional HAC-PLA scaffold synthesized by TIPShad high porosity up to 90%, with pore size ranging from 50 μm to 300 μm. SEMexamination proved that the scaffold supported the adhesion and proliferation of the periosteal cells. Histology results showed new bone formation 8 weeks after implantation in group C. The surface of group A was smooth without neoplasma. Fibrous tissueinvasion occured in group B and no bone and cartilage formations were observed.Conclusion The constructed tissue engineering bone has emerged as another promising alternative for bone repair.

  • IN VITRO OSTEOGENESIS OF THE COMPOUND OF CHITOSAN AND RECOMBINANT HUMAN BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 2

    Objective To explore the in vitro osteogenesis of the chitosan-gelatin scaffold compounded with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2). Methods Recombinant human BMP-2 was compounded with chitosan-gelatin scaffolds by freezedrying. 2T3 mouse osteoblasts and C2C12 mouse myoblasts were cultured and seeded onto the complexes at thedensity of 2×104/ml respectively. The complexes were divided into two groups. Group A: 2T3 osteoblasts seeded, consisted of 14 rhBMP-2 modified complexes. Each time three scaffolds were taken on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 21st day of the culturing, then the expression of osteocalcin gene (as the marker of bone formation) in adherent cells was detected by semiquantitative RT-PCR with housekeeping gene β-tubulin as internalstandard. The other 2 rhBMP-2 modified complexes were stopped being cultured on 14th day after cell seeding, and the calcification of the complexes was detected by Alizarian Red S staining. Five scaffolds without rhBMP-2 modification as the control group A, they were stopped being cultured on 14th day after cell seeding. Of the 5 scaffolds, 3 were subjected tothe detection of osteocalcin gene expression and 2 were subjected to the detection of calcification. Group B: C2C12 myoblasts seeded, had equal composition andwas treated with the same as group A. Besides these 2 groups, another 2 rhBMP2 modified complexes with 2T3 osteoblasts seeding were cultured for 3 days and then scanned by electron microscope (SEM) as to detect the compatibility of the cell to the complex. ResultsSEM showed that cells attached closely to the complex and grew well. In group A, the expression level(1.28±0.17)of osteocalcin gene in cells on rhBMP-2 modified complexes was higher than that (0.56±0.09) of the control group A, being statistically -significantly different(P<0.05) control. C2C12 myoblasts which did not express osteocalcin normally could also express osteocalcin after being stimulated by rhBMP-2 for at least 7 days. Alizarian Red S staining showed that there was more calcification on rhBMP-2 modified complexes in both groups. There were more calcification in the group compounded with rhBMP-2, when the groups were seeded with the same cells. Conclusion The complexmade of rhBMP-2 and chitosan-gelatin scaffolds has b osteogenesis ability in vitro.

    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.
