Osteoprogenitor cells in the human bone marrow stroma can be induced to differentiate into osteoblasts under stimulation with hormonal and local factors. We previously showed that human bone marrow stromal (HBMS) cells respond to dexamethasone and vitamin D by expressing several osteoblastic markers. In this study, we investigated the effects and interactions of local factors (BMP-2 and TGF-β2) on HBMS cell proliferation and differentiation in short-term and long-term cultures. We found that rhTGF-β2 increased DNA content and stimulated type I collagen synthesis, but inhibited ALP activity and mRNA levels, osteocalcin production, and mineralization of the matrix formed by HBMS cells. In contrast, rhBMP-2 increased ALP activity and mRNA levels, osteocalcin levels and calcium deposition in the extracellular matrix without affecting type I collagen synthesis and mRNA levels, showing that rhBMP-2 and rhTGF-β2 regulate differentially HBMS cells. Co-treatment with rhBMP-2 and rhTGF-β2 led to intermediate effects on HBMS cell proliferation and differentiation markers. rhTGF-β2 attenuated the stimulatory effect of rhBMP-2 on osteocalcin levels, and ALP activity and mRNA levels, whereas rhBMP-2 reduced the rhTGF-β2-enhanced DNA synthesis and type I collagen synthesis. We also investigated the effects of sequential treatments with rhBMP-2 and rhTGF-β2 on HBMS cell differentiation in long-term culture. A transient (9 days) treatment with rhBMP-2 abolished the rhTGF-β2 response of HBMS cells on ALP activity. In contrast, a transient (10 days) treatment with rhTGF-β2 did not influence the subsequent rhBMP-2 action on HBMS cell differentiation. The data show that TGF-β2 acts by increasing HBMS cell proliferation and type I collagen synthesis whereas BMP-2 acts by promoting HBMS cell differentiation. These observations suggest that TGF-β2 and BMP-2 may act in a sequential manner at different stages to promote human bone marrow stromal cell differentiation towards the osteoblast phenotype. J.

重组人骨形态发生蛋白-7与脱钙骨基质复合物双重骨诱导作用的生物学评价 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
将不同剂量的重组人骨形态发生蛋白-7(rhBMP-7)与脱钙骨基质(DBM)分别复合后,植入小鼠股部内侧肌间隙,三周后取材,通过组织学检查、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)及钙含量的测定比较各组的骨诱导活性。结果显示,三组复合物均有骨组织生成,中、高剂量组可见骨小梁、板层骨和原始骨髓腔,血管和骨髓丰富;低剂量组的成骨量明显少于中、高剂量组,且新骨的成熟度低于其他两组,DBM少部分吸收;单独植入rhBMP-7组有编织骨形成;而DBM组可见成骨细胞的聚集。rhBMP-7/DBM复合组在ALP和Ca含量水平上与同等剂量的两对照组相比均有显著性差异(P<0.01),而rhBMP-7三种剂量之间均有显著性差异(P<0.01)。这充分说明DBM作为rhBMP-7的合适载体,具有缓释作用,且二者复合可起到双重骨诱导活性;而且rhBMP-7的骨诱导活性具有一定的剂量依赖性。 相似文献

A novel biomimetic bone scaffold was successfully prepared in this study, which was composed of calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH), collagen and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAC). CSH/nHAC was prepared and observed with scanning electron microscope and rhBMP-2 was introduced into CSH/nHAC. The released protein content from the scaffold was detected using high performance liquid chromatography at predetermined time interval. In vivo bone formation capacity was investigated by means of implanting the scaffolds with rhBMP-2 or without rhBMP-2 respectively into a critical size defect model in the femoral condyle of rabbit. The releasing character of rhBMP-2 was that an initial burst release (37.5%) was observed in the first day, followed by a sustained release and reached 100% at the end of day 20. The CSH/nHAC showed a gradual decrease in degradation with the content of nHAC increase. The results of X-rays, Micro CT and histological observation indicated that more new bone was formed in rhBMP-2 group. The results implied that this new injectable bone scaffold should be very promising for bone repair and has a great potential in bone tissue engineering. 相似文献

Osteogenic differentiation of pre-osteoblasts on biomimetic tyrosine-derived polycarbonate scaffolds
The osteogenic potential of biomimetic tyrosine-derived polycarbonate (TyrPC) scaffolds containing either an ethyl ester or a methyl ester group combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) was assessed using the preosteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1. Each composition of TyrPC was fabricated into 3D porous scaffolds with a bimodal pore distribution of micropores <20 μm and macropores between 200 and 400 μm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization suggested MC3T3-E1 cell attachment on the TyrPC scaffold surface. Moreover, the 3D TyrPC-containing ethyl ester side chains supported osteogenic lineage progression, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN) expression as well as an increase in calcium content compared with the scaffolds containing the methyl ester group. The release profiles of rhBMP-2 from the 3D TyrPC scaffolds by 15 days suggested a biphasic rhBMP-2 release. There was no significant difference in bioactivity between rhBMP-2 releasate from the scaffolds and exogenous rhBMP-2. Lastly, the TyrPC containing rhBMP-2 promoted more ALP activity and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells compared with TyrPC without rhBMP-2. Consequently, the data strongly suggest that TyrPC scaffolds will provide a highly useful platform for bone tissue engineering. 相似文献

The aim of this experiment was to elucidate the histological alterations after systemic administration of eldecalcitol (ELD) combined with guided bone regeneration during the restoration of bone defect healing in rats. The femurs of 8-week-old Wister rats were used to generate bone defect models. The defect was covered with a collagen membrane, and ELD group was administrated with eldecalcitol (50 ng/kg body weight) intragastrically once every other day. Femora were harvested at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks post-surgery. Decalcify tissue slices were made and used for histological and immunohistochemical examination. Bone biomarkers of RANKL, OPG and osteocalcin (OCN) were detected by western blot. The results revealed that the system administration of ELD could improve new bone formation demonstrated by the increased bone volume/tissue volume ratio and accelerated mineralization. ELD suppressed osteoclastic bone resorption by reducing the number of osteoclasts, decreasing the expression of cathepsin-K and the ratio of RANKL/OPG at the early stage of bone defect restoration (1 and 2 weeks) and upregulating OCN expression at the later stage of bone defect healing (4 and 8 weeks). These data suggested that systemic administration of eldecalcitol accelerated bone formation and promoted bone maturation by decreasing bone resorption and promoting bone mineralization during bone defect restoration. 相似文献

Effects of bone morphogenetic protein-2 on human neonatal calvaria cell differentiation 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are factors that promote osteoblastic cell differentiation and osteogenesis. It is unknown whether BMPs may act on human osteoblastic cells by increasing immature cell growth and/or differentiation. We investigated the short- and long-term effects of recombinant human (rh)BMP-2 on cell growth and osteoblast phenotype in a new model of human neonatal pre-osteoblastic calvaria cells (HNC). In short-term culture, rhBMP-2 (20-100 ng/ml) inhibited DNA synthesis and increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity without affecting osteocalcin (OC) production. When cultured for 3 weeks in the presence of ascorbic acid and inorganic phosphate to induce cell differentiation, HNC cells initially proliferated, type 1 collagen mRNA and protein levels rose, and then decreased, whereas OC mRNA and protein levels, and calcium accumulation into the extracellular matrix increased at 2 to 3 weeks. A transient treatment with rhBMP-2 (50 ng/ml) for 1 to 7 days which affected immature HNC cells, decreased cell growth, increased ALP activity and mRNA, and induced cells to express ALP, osteopontin, and OC at 7 days, as shown by immunocytochemistry. At 2 to 3 weeks, matrix mineralization was markedly increased despite cessation of treatment, and although OC and Col 1 mRNA and protein levels were not changed. A continuous treatment with rhBMP-2 for 3 weeks which affected immature and mature cells reduced cell growth, increased ALP activity and mRNA at 1 week and increased OC mRNA and protein levels and calcium content in the matrix at 3 weeks, indicating complete osteoblast differentiation. These results indicate that the differentiating effects of BMP-2 on human neonatal calvaria are dependent on duration of exposure. Although long-term exposure led to complete differentiation of OC-synthesizing osteoblasts, the primary effect of rhBMP-2 was to promote osteoblast marker expression in immature cells, which was sufficient to induce optimal matrix mineralization independently of cell growth and type 1 collagen expression. 相似文献

A major parameter determining the success of a bone-grafting procedure is vascularization of the area surrounding the graft. We hypothesized that implantation of a bone autograft would induce greater bone regeneration by abundant blood vessel formation. To investigate the effect of the graft on neovascularization at the defect site, we developed a micro–computed tomography (µCT) approach to characterize newly forming blood vessels, which involves systemic perfusion of the animal with a polymerizing contrast agent. This method enables detailed vascular analysis of an organ in its entirety. Additionally, blood perfusion was assessed using fluorescence imaging (FLI) of a blood-borne fluorescent agent. Bone formation was quantified by FLI using a hydroxyapatite-targeted probe and µCT analysis. Stem cell recruitment was monitored by bioluminescence imaging (BLI) of transgenic mice that express luciferase under the control of the osteocalcin promoter. Here we describe and demonstrate preparation of the allograft, calvarial defect surgery, µCT scanning protocols for the neovascularization study and bone formation analysis (including the in vivo perfusion of contrast agent), and the protocol for data analysis.The 3D high-resolution analysis of vasculature demonstrated significantly greater angiogenesis in animals with implanted autografts, especially with respect to arteriole formation. Accordingly, blood perfusion was significantly higher in the autograft group by the 7th day after surgery. We observed superior bone mineralization and measured greater bone formation in animals that received autografts. Autograft implantation induced resident stem cell recruitment to the graft-host bone suture, where the cells differentiated into bone-forming cells between the 7th and 10th postoperative day. This finding means that enhanced bone formation may be attributed to the augmented vascular feeding that characterizes autograft implantation. The methods depicted may serve as an optimal tool to study bone regeneration in terms of tightly bounded bone formation and neovascularization. 相似文献

Bone quality as well as its quantity at the implant interface is responsible for determining stability of the implant system. The objective of this study is to examine the nanoindentation based elastic modulus (E) at different bone regions adjacent to titanium dental implants with guided bone regeneration (GBR) treated with DBM and BMP-2 during different post-implantation periods. Six adult male beagle dogs were used to create circumferential defects with buccal bone removal at each implantation site of mandibles. The implant systems were randomly assigned to only GBR (control), GBR with demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and GBR with DBM + recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) (BMP) groups. Three animals were sacrificed at each 4 and 8 weeks of post-implantation healing periods. Following buccolingual dissection, the E values were assessed at the defects (Defect), interfacial bone tissue adjacent to the implant (Interface), and pre-existing bone tissue away from the implant (Pre-existing). The E values of BMP group had significantly higher than control and DBM groups for interface and defect regions at 4 weeks of post-implantation period and for the defect region at 8 weeks (p < 0.043). DBM group had higher E values than control group only for the defect region at 4 weeks (p < 0.001). The current results indicate that treatment of rhBMP-2 with GBR accelerates bone tissue mineralization for longer healing period because the GBR likely facilitates a microenvironment to provide more metabolites with open space of the defect region surrounding the implant. 相似文献

Bone tissue engineering shows good prospects for mandibular reconstruction. In recent studies, prefabricated tissue-engineered bone (PTEB) by recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMPs) applied in vivo has found to be an effective alternative for autologous bone grafts. However, the optimal time to transfer PTEB for mandibular reconstruction is still not elucidated. Thus, here in an animal experiment of rhesus monkey, the suitable transferring time for PTEB to reconstruct mandibular defects was evaluated by 99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT, and its value in monitoring orthotopic rhBMP-2 implants for mandibular reconstruction was also evaluated. The result of SPECT/CT showed higher 99mTc-MDP uptake, indicating osteoinductivity, in rhBMP-2 incorporated demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and coralline hydroxyapatite (CHA) implants than those without BMP stimulation. 99mTc-MDP uptake of rhBMP-2 implant peaked at 8 weeks following implantation while CT showed the density of these implants increased after 13 weeks’ prefabrication. Histology confirmed that mandibular defects were repaired successfully with PTEB or orthotopically rhBMP-2 incorporated CHA implants, in accordance with SPECT/CT findings. Collectively, data shows 99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT is a sensitive and noninvasive tool to monitor osteoinductivity and bone regeneration of PTEB and orthotopic implants. The PTEB achieved peak osteoinductivity and bone density at 8 to 13 weeks following ectopic implantation, which would serve as a recommendable time frame for its transfer to mandibular reconstruction. 相似文献

Zinc (Zn) deficiency during pregnancy may result in a variety of defects in the offspring. We evaluated the influence of marginal
Zn deficiency during pregnancy on neonatal bone status. Nine-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups
and fed AIN-93G-based experimental diets containing 35 mg Zn/kg (Zn adequately supplied, N) or 7 mg Zn/kg (low level of Zn,
L) from 14-day preconception to 20 days of gestation, that is, 1 day before normal delivery. Neonates were delivered by cesarean
section. Litter size and neonate weight were not different between the two groups. However, in the L-diet-fed dam group, bone
matrix formation in isolated neonatal calvaria culture was clearly impaired and was not recovered by the addition of Zn into
the culture media. Additionally, serum concentration of osteocalcin, as a bone formation parameter, was lower in neonates
from the L-diet-fed dam group. Impaired bone mineralization was observed with a significantly lower content of phosphorus
in neonate femurs from L-diet-fed dams compared with those from N-diet-fed dams. Moreover, Zn content in the femur and calvaria
of neonates from the L-diet group was lower than that of the N-diet-fed group. In the marginally Zn-deficient dams, femoral
Zn content, serum concentrations of Zn, and osteocalcin were reduced when compared with control dams. We conclude that maternal
Zn deficiency causes impairment of bone matrix formation and bone mineralization in neonates, implying the importance of Zn
intake during pregnancy for proper bone development of offspring. 相似文献

Background
HA modified by bisphosphonate (BP) (HA-BP) was synthesized by chemical reaction and possessed promising properties such as self-healing, injection ability, and strong adhesion. The main aim of this study was to confirm its role in promoting osteogenic differentiation in vitro and bone regeneration in vivo.Methods
The cell biocompatibility of this material was determined using the CCK-8 assay. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OT), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and collagen I were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) in the treated group. The number and density of calcium nodules and ALP were evaluated by Alizarin Red staining and ALP staining. We have successfully developed an animal model simulating osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Utilizing this animal model, the impact of HA-BP/CaP on bone formation was assessed. The amount of bone regeneration at 1 and 2 months after HA-BP/CaP injection was estimated by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis and H&E, collagen I, and periostin staining.Results
The number of cells gradually increased in the experimental group over time and was close to that of the blank control group. ALP, collagen I, and VEGF expression was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the blank group (VEGF, ALP, both **p < 0.01; collagen I, ***p<0.001). In addition, the number and density of calcium nodules and ALP was clearly greater in the material group than in the control group.The quantification analysis showed that the mineral contents of regenerated bone at 1 and 2 months after HA-BP/CaP injection were significantly greater than those in the control group, according to micro-CT evaluation (**p<0.01). The amount of organic components in the HA-BP/CaP group was greater than that in the control group after decalcification and H&E staining. In addition, collagen I and periostin staining further confirmed the results of H&E staining.Conclusion
This material can boost proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro. It can intensely accelerate bone regeneration in vivo, which is a promising strategy for tissue engineering. 相似文献15.
Silicon Supplementation Improves the Bone Mineral Density of Calcium-Deficient Ovariectomized Rats by Reducing Bone Resorption 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of silicon (Si) supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) and
bone metabolism parameters relative to calcium (Ca) intake levels in ovariectomized rats. A total of 72 female Wistar rats
(6 weeks) were ovariectomized (OVX) and divided into six groups, and Si (500 mg of Si per kilogram of feed) was or was not
administered with diets containing various levels of Ca (0.1%, 0.5%, and 1.5%) for 10 weeks. The groups were as follows: (1)
Ca-deficient group (0.1% Ca), (2) Ca-deficient with Si supplementation group, (3) adequate Ca group (0.5% Ca), (4) adequate
Ca with Si supplementation group, (5) high Ca group (1.5% Ca), and (6) high Ca with Si supplementation group. Si supplementation
significantly increased the BMD of the femur and tibia in Ca-deficient OVX rats, while no change was observed with Si supplementation
in the BMD of the spine, femur, and tibia in the adequate and high Ca groups. Serum alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels
were not affected by Si supplementation or Ca intake levels. C-telopeptide type I collagen levels were significantly decreased
as a result of Si supplementation in Ca-deficient OVX rats. In summary, Si supplementation produced positive effects on bone
mineral density in Ca-deficient OVX rats by reducing bone resorption. Therefore, Si supplementation may also prove to be helpful
in preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women whose calcium intake is insufficient. 相似文献

Ectopic bone formation in titanium mesh loaded with bone morphogenetic protein and coated with calcium phosphate 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

The osteoinductive properties of porous titanium fiber mesh, with or without a calcium phosphate coating and loaded with recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) or rhBMP-2 and native bovine BMP (S-300) were investigated in a rat ectopic assay model. A total of 112 calcium phosphate-coated and 112 noncoated porous titanium implants, either loaded with rhBMP-2 and S-300 or loaded with rhBMP-2 alone, were subcutaneously placed in 56 Wistar-King rats. The rats were killed 5, 10, 20, and 40 days postoperatively, and the implants were retrieved.Histologic analysis demonstrated that all growth factor and carrier combinations induced ectopic cartilage and bone formation at 5 and 10 days, respectively. At 20 days, bone formation increased and was characterized by trabecular bone and bone marrow-like tissue. At 40 days, more lamellar bone and hemopoietic bone marrow-like tissue were present. At both times, more bone had been formed in calcium phosphate-coated implants than in noncoated samples. Further, in rhBMP-2 and S-300-loaded specimens, bone formation was higher than in rhBMP-2 only-loaded specimens. In rhBMP-2 only-loaded specimens, bone formation was mainly localized inside the mesh material, whereas in specimens loaded with both rhBMP-2 and S-300, the bone was localized inside and surrounding the titanium mesh. The histological findings were confirmed by calcium content and alkaline phosphatase activity measurements. In addition, all specimens showed osteocalcin expression as early as 5 days postoperatively.Our results show that the combination of titanium mesh with BMPs can induce ectopic bone formation and that this bone formation seems to be similar to "enchondral" ossification. In addition, a thin calcium phosphate coating can have a beneficial effect on the bone-inducing properties of a scaffold material. Finally, rhBMP-2 and native BMP act synergistically in ectopic bone induction. 相似文献

Autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used as a potential cell-based therapy in various animal and human diseases. Their differentiation capacity makes them useful as a novel strategy in the treatment of tissue injury in which the healing process is compromised or delayed. In horses, bone healing is slow, taking a minimum of 6–12 months. The osteogenic capacity of equine bone marrow and muscle MSCs mixed with fibrin glue or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as a scaffold is assessed. Bone production by the following groups was compared: Group 1, bone marrow (BM) MSCs in fibrin glue; Group 2, muscle (M) MSCs in fibrin glue; Group 3, BM MSCs in PBS; Group 4, M MSCs in PBS and as a control; Group 5, fibrin glue without cells. BM and M MSCs underwent osteogenic stimulation for 48 h prior to being injected intramuscularly into nude mice. After 4 weeks, the mice were killed and muscle samples were collected and evaluated for bone formation and mineralization by using radiology, histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Positive bone formation and mineralization were confirmed in Group 1 in nude mice based on calcium deposition and the presence of osteocalcin and collagen type I; in addition, a radiopaque area was observed on radiographs. However, no evidence of mineralization or bone formation was observed in Groups 2–5. In this animal model, equine BM MSCs mixed with fibrin glue showed better osteogenic differentiation capacity compared with BM MSCs in PBS and M MSCs in either carrier. 相似文献

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) induce osteoblastic responses in cultures of pluripotent mesenchymal cells. The effects of chronic treatment of these cells with BMPs and of withdrawal following exposure, however, have not been fully elucidated. Thus, the aim of this study was to obtain information about the duration of exposure to recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) required for expression and retention of osteoblastic characteristics with subsequent formation of a mineralized extracellular matrix in mesenchymal cell cultures. C3H10T1/2 cells and bone marrow stromal cells were cultured with 1 μg/ml rhBMP-2 for either 0, 7, 14, 21, or 28 days, with the remainder of the 4 week total culture period in the absence of rhBMP-2. Growth and expression of osteoblastic characteristics were examined at the end of each week. C3H10T1/2 cells responded to increasing duration of exposure to rhBMP-2 with increased cell growth. Additionally, the longer the cells were exposed to rhBMP-2, the more fully they expressed and sustained osteoblastic traits, i.e., they exhibited duration of exposure-dependent higher levels of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin and larger total amounts of mineral in the matrix. In comparison, exposure of bone marrow stromal cells to rhBMP-2 for at least 14 days restrained cell growth and prevented detachment. With respect to osteoblastic traits, stromal cells exposed to rhBMP-2 also exhibited a dependence on the duration of exposure, however, cultures treated for 14, 21, or 28 days exhibited similar levels of alkaline phosphatase activity and comparable amounts of calcium in the mineralizing matrix.

Previous studies have revealed that magnesium (Mg) plays a significant role in bone health; however, few studies have investigated the effects of Mg supplementation in diets with different calcium (Ca) levels on the bone status and bone metabolism in a growing stage. In this present study, we tested the effects of Mg supplementation on bone status in growing female rats, relative to Ca intake levels. A total of 40 Sprague–Dawley female rats aged 6 weeks were divided into the following four groups and fed for 12 weeks as indicated: (1) LCaAMg: low Ca (Ca, 0.1 % of total diet) and adequate Mg (Mg, 0.05 % of total diet), (2) LCaHMg: low Ca and high Mg ( Mg, 0.1 % of total diet), (3) ACaAMg: adequate Ca (Ca, 0.5 % of total diet) and adequate Mg, and (4) ACaHMg: adequate Ca and high Mg. Our results showed that Mg supplementation with the adequate Ca diet significantly increased the bone mineral contents, bone size (bone area and bone thickness), and bone mineral density of femur or tibia by improving bone metabolism without changing Ca absorption. Mg supplementation significantly increased the serum osteocalcin in the adequate-Ca-diet group (p?<?0.05), while the Mg supplementation significantly decreased the serum level of C-telopeptide cross-links of type I collagen in the adequate-Ca-diet group (p?<?0.001). This study suggests that Mg supplementation with adequate Ca intake in the growing stage may increase the bone mineral density and bone size by improving bone metabolism. 相似文献
