  • Experimental study on ectopic osteogenesis induced by bone morphogenetic protein 2-derived peptide P24 loaded chitosan-4-thio-butylamidine hydrogel

    ObjectiveTo study the ectopic osteogenesis and biocompatibility of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)-derived peptide P24 loaded chitosan-4-thio-butylamidine (CS-TBA) hydrogel.MethodsFirst, the CS-TBA/hydroxyapatite (HA) solution was prepared by using chitosan, 2-iminothiolane hydrochloride, and HA. Then, the different amount of P24 peptides were added to the CS-TBA/HA to prepare the CS-TBA/5%P24/HA and CS-TBA/10%P24/HA solutions. Finally, β-glycerophosphate disodium (β-GP) was added to the CS-TBA/HA, CS-TBA/5%P24/HA, and CS-TBA/10%P24/HA to prepare the CS-TBA/HA/β-GP, CS-TBA/5%P24/HA/β-GP, and CS-TBA/10%P24/HA/β-GP hydrogels, respectively. Eighteen Sprague Dawley female rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6), which were injected into the back muscle pouches with equal volume CS-TBA/HA/β-GP hydrogel (group A), CS-TBA/5%P24/HA/β-GP hydrogel (group B), and CS-TBA/10%P24/HA/β-GP hydrogel (group C). The animals were sacrificed at 4 and 8 weeks and conducted micro-CT. The ability of biodegradation and osteogenesis of hydrogl was detected by trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), bone mineral density (BMD), and histological staining (HE and Masson).ResultsAll the rats survived to the time point of the harvest. Micro-CT results showed that the new bones gradually increased in each group after operation. At the same time, the new bone formation was more obvious in groups B and C than in group A, and with the increase of P24 concentration, new bone formation in group C was much more than that in group B. The Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BMD increased gradually in 3 groups, and the differences between 4 and 8 weeks were significant (P<0.05) except the Tb.Th in group A. At different time points, the Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BMD were significantly higher in groups B and C than in group A (P<0.05), and in group C was higher than in group B (P<0.05), showing significant differences between groups. Histological staining showed that the materials of groups B and C were biodegradable, and the osteogenic effect was increased with the increase of P24 concentration.ConclusionP24 peptide can improve the ectopic osteogenesis of CS-TBA hydrogel, and the 10% concentration is more effective.

  • Lentivirus-mediated silencing of P75 neurotrophin receptor combined with nerve growth factor overexpression and transfection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with demineralized bone matrix for heterotopic osteogenesis

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of silencing P75 neurotrophin receptor (P75NTR) and nerve growth factor (NGF) overexpression on the proliferative activity and ectopic osteogenesis ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with demineralized bone matrix for heterotopic osteogenesis.MethodsBMSCs of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were cultured and passaged by adherent isolation method. The third generation BMSCs were transfected with lentivirus mediated P75NTR gene silencing (group B), NGF overexpression gene (group C), P75NTR silencing and NGF overexpression double genes (group D), respectively, and untransfected cells as control (group A). After 7 days of transfection, the expression of fluorescent protein of the target gene was observed by fluorescence microscope; cell counting kit 8 method was used to detect the cells activity for 8 days after transfection; the expressions of P75NTR and NGF proteins in each group were detected by Western blot. The adhesion of BMSCs to demineralized bone matrix (DBM) was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope after transfection of p75NTR silencing and NGF overexpression double genes. After transfection, BMSCs and DBM were co-cultured to prepare 4 groups of tissue engineered bone, which were respectively placed in the dorsal subcutaneous tissue of 8-week-old SD rats to construct subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis model (n=6). HE staining was performed at 4 and 8 weeks after operation. ALP staining was used to observe the formation of calcium nodules at 8 weeks after operation. The expressions of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN) were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.ResultsAt 7 days after transfection, there was no fluorescence expression in group A, red fluorescence expression was seen in group B, green fluorescence expression in group C, and red-green compound fluorescence expression in group D. The fluorescence expression rate of target gene was about 70%. Western blot detection showed that the relative expression of P75NTR protein in groups A and C was significantly higher than that in groups B and D, and the relative expression of NGF protein in groups C and D was significantly higher than that in groups A and B (P<0.05). With the passage of time, the cell proliferation activity increased in all groups, especially in group D, which was significantly higher than that in group A at 3-8 days (P<0.05). The results of inverted phase contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope showed that BMSCs could adhere well to DBM. In the subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis experiment, HE staining showed that at 4 and 8 weeks after operation, the more bone tissue was formed in group D than in the other 3 groups. ALP staining showed that group D had the highest ALP activity and better osteogenic expression. Compared with group A, the relative expressions of Runx2, ALP, and OCN mRNAs in group D were significantly higher than those in group A (P<0.05).ConclusionSilencing P75NTR and NGF overexpression double genes co-transfected BMSCs with DBM to construct tissue engineered bone has good ectopic osteogenic ability. By increasing NGF level and closing P75NTR apoptosis channel, it can not only improve cell activity, but also promote bone tissue regeneration.

  • Influence of different sintering temperatures on mesoporous structure and ectopic osteogenesis of biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic granule materials

    ObjectiveTo detect the difference in the osteogenesis ability of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramic granular materials with different mesoporous diameters prepared at different sintering temperatures through in vivo and in vitro experiments, so as to provide evidence for screening BCP materials with better clinical application parameters.MethodsThree kinds of BCP (materials 1, 2, 3) were prepared by mixing hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) at a ratio of 8∶2 and sintered at 1 050, 1 150, and 1 250℃ for 3 hours, respectively. The internal porosity and the diameter, volume, and area of the mesopore were measured by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller test (BET); the composition of the material was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD); the microscopic surface morphology of the material was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The 3rd generation bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from Sprague-Dawley rats were co-cultured with the materials 1, 2, and 3 for 7 days in vitro respectively (groups A, B, and C), and the cells adhesion on the materials was observed by SEM and phalloidine staining, respectively. Cell proliferation activity was measured by cell counting kit 8 method. In vivo, 9 muscle bags were made in dorsal muscles of 9 beagles, respectively. The muscle bags were randomly divided into 3 groups (3 per beagle in each group) and materials 1, 2, and 3 were placed into the muscle bags of groups A, B, and C, respectively. After 1, 2, and 3 months of operation, 3 beagles were anesthetized and the samples were stained with HE, Masson, and Safranin, and the bone formation area ratio in the BCP gap was calculated. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expressions of bone-related genes [including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OC)].ResultsThe BET test showed that with the increase of sintering temperature, the internal porosity of the particles did not change significantly, but the diameter, volume, and area of the mesopores gradually decreased. The XRD detection showed that the XRD waves of HA and β-TCP could be seen in all 3 kinds of materials; SEM showed that there were widely distributed macropores on the surface of 3 kinds of BCPs, and the interpores connected with the others. In vitro, BMSCs adhered and proliferated on the surfaces of 3 kinds of BCPs, and the cell biocompatibility of the materials in groups B and C was better than that in group A. In vivo, obvious osteoid tissue deposition could be observed in the intergranular space of 3 kinds of BCPs from 2 months after implantation. The bone formation area ratio of each group increased with time. The bone formation area ratio in group A was significantly higher than that in groups B and C at 2 and 3 months after implantation, and in group A than in group B at 1 month (P<0.05). qRT-PCR showed that the expressions of osteogenic related genes peaked at 2 months in group A, and gradually increased with time in groups B and C. The relative expressions of ALP and OPN mRNAs in group A were significantly higher than those in groups B and C at 1 month after implantation, the relative expression of OC mRNA in group A was significantly higher than that in groups B and C at 2 months after operation, the relative expression of ALP mRNA in groups B and C and the relative expression of OPN mRNA in group B were significantly higher than those in group A, all showing significant differences (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the relative expression of each gene among the other groups at each time point (P>0.05).ConclusionThe mesoporous diameter of BCP decreases with the increase of sintering temperature. Different mesoporous diameters lead to different ectopic osteogenesis of BCP materials. BCP material with mesoporous diameter of 12.57 nm has better osteogenic ability which can activate the osteogenic gene earlier. The mesoporous diameter is expected to be an adjustable index for optimizing the osteogenic capacity of BCP materials.
