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

Bone neogenesis in domes made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene: efficacy of rhBMP-2 to enhance the amount of achievable bone in rats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
For bone reconstructive purposes, it would be a great advantage to be able to gain bone without grafting. In experimental studies, barrier membranes have been used to accomplish this, however, with limited efficacy. In this study, the effect of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) on the early onset of bone formation, as well as on the final amount of achievable bone, was investigated in an experimental osteo-neogenesis model. In 60 adult rats, dome-shaped barrier membranes made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-Tex membrane), with an inside volume of approximately 60 mm3, were placed on the left parietal bone. The domes were pretreated according to four different alternatives: (1) filled with autogenous blood only (n = 15); (2) filled with 5 microg of rhBMP-2 in an absorbable collagen sponge carrier (n = 15); (3) filled with 15 microg of rhBMP-2 in absorbable collagen sponge carrier (n = 15); or (4) filled with the absorbable collagen sponge carrier only (n = 15). The animals treated according to each alternative were then divided into three equal groups with five rats in each, and subsequently killed after 3, 6, or 12 weeks. The amount of bone formed within the domes was evaluated by light microscopy and computer-assisted image analysis. It was found that the amount of newly formed bone could be enhanced by approximately 100 percent by simultaneous implantation of rhBMP-2, irrespective of dose. The early onset of bone formation was, however, not affected by the rhBMP-2 supplementation. This finding was interpreted as being due to the delivery system used, because as long as the carrier was still present, no significant difference between the treatment groups was observed. The bone formed in domes with carrier implantation, with or without rhBMP-2, displayed more marrow spaces in comparison to controls. The combined treatment with barrier membranes and local delivery of rhBMP-2 may be a useful tool in reconstructive surgery, for instance replacing onlay grafting, especially when a more delicate anatomy is necessary, because membranes can be shaped in multiple ways. 相似文献

Bovine bone activin enhances bone morphogenetic protein-induced ectopic bone formation. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

A 25-kDa homodimeric protein was purified from demineralized bovine bone extract and identified as activin A. The bovine bone activin enhanced formation of ectopic bone in rat subcutis when implanted in combination with partially purified bovine bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2, BMP-3) in collagen/ceramic carrier. The implants, removed at 14 days, contained markedly elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase activity. Histological examination revealed an extensive formation of woven bone with very little cartilage. In contrast, a combination of transforming growth factor-beta 2 and BMP promoted formation of bone with an abundance of cartilage. The implants with BMP alone exhibited some osteoinductive activity, while the implants with activin alone showed no activity. These results demonstrate that bone is a rich source of activin and that activin plays an important role in modulating bone formation. 相似文献

Midkine (MDK) and Pleiotrophin (PTN) belong to a class of heparin-binding growth factors and are highly expressed in a number of cancers. Bioactive and recombinant MDK and PTN are critical reagent for cancer drug discovery studies. MDK and PTN belong to a newly evolving family of secreted neurotrophic and developmentally regulated heparin-binding molecules. PTN is related to MDK with 45% sequence identity and both proteins have been shown to be involved in promoting neurite outgrowth. MDK is a cysteine-rich 13kDa protein containing five disulfide bonds and PTN is 19kDa protein containing ten disulphide bonds. In this study, we expressed recombinant human MDK (rhMDK), mouse MDK (rmMDK) and human pleiotrophin (rhPTN) in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLysS strain. Soluble rhMDK, rmMDK and rhPTN were expressed at a high-level in this strain and the protein was purified (~90%) by a one-step purification using heparin affinity chromatography. A total of 4mg purified MDK and 7mg of purified PTN were obtained with the overall yield from 1L of bacterial culture. Activity of purified rhMDK and rhPTN was confirmed by a cell proliferation assay using NIH3T3 cells. 相似文献

Approximately 260 mg/l of authentic recombinant human pleiotrophin (rhPTN) was expressed into the medium of high-cell density fermentation using a Pichia pastoris protein expression system. The prepro-sequence of yeast alpha-mating factor was used successfully. The recombinant hPTN was efficiently recovered from the medium by expanded bed adsorption, and purified using successive column chromatography steps. In the purified rhPTN preparation, modified rhPTN were scarcely detected. Circular dichroism measurement of the purified PTN showed the presence of the characteristic beta-structures in the protein. 相似文献

A problem with using autogeneic bone for onlay grafting is its degree of incorporation and volumetric persistence. This study explored whether improved graft volumetric maintenance can be achieved by recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and whether a combination of rhBMP-2 and osteopromotive membranes is advantageous in this respect. Unicortico-cancellous bone grafts were positioned below the temporal muscle bilaterally in 48 adult Lewis rats. The recipient bone was ground, and the grafted area was randomly treated according to one of eight different alternatives. Two doses of rhBMP-2 (4 microg/80 microl or 32 microg/80 microl buffer) in a collagenous carrier were tested, with or without coverage with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membranes. As controls, membrane and carrier, alone or in combination, and onlay grafts only were used. The results were evaluated after 4 and 20 weeks by routine histologic examination and immunohistochemical labeling for various bone and cartilage matrix proteins. After 4 weeks, rhBMP-2-treated grafts showed complete integration, whereas for controls, only the membrane-alone group attained incorporation after 20 weeks. The combined treatment with high-dose rhBMP-2 and membrane demonstrated, as compared with the remaining rhBMP-2 groups, pronounced bone formation and less graft resorption, resulting in maintained or increased graft size. This was observed after 4 weeks, and the result remained at 20 weeks. Treatment with high-dose rhBMP-2 without membrane placement, in contrast, resulted in extensive resorption and graft size reduction at 20 weeks. Control groups showed less success in graft size persistence. It was concluded that a combination of high-dose rhBMP-2 and osteopromotive membranes had a synergistic effect, leading to rapid, complete graft integration and size maintenance. In the absence of a membrane, the protein seemed to accelerate the remodeling of the graft. 相似文献

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) was extracted from the bovine bone matrix and purified by liquid chromatography. The molecular weight of the BMP was 18 kDa by SDS-PAGE, and its pI value was 4.9. Amino acid analysis suggested that the BMP is a polypeptide containing 163 amino acids. In the present study, telopeptide-free type I collagen was used as a carrier of BMP. 相似文献

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) induces bone formation in young rodents, but aging causes a reduction in the bone-forming ability of BMP. Most patients who require bone reconstruction are relatively old. Accordingly, we examined whether anabolic hormones could restore the bone inductive activity of rhBMP-2 in aged rats. rhBMP-2 in a carrier pellet was implanted subcutaneously in both 4- and 50-week-old female Wistar rats. PTH, PGE2, or 1,25(OH)2D3 was injected every day during the period of BMP implantation. The pellets were harvested, and were examined both histologically and biochemically 2 weeks after implantation. Bone-forming ability was measured by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium (Ca) content. Pellets in 50-week-old rats showed a significant reduction in bone formation compared to pellets in 4-week-old rats. However, daily injections of PTH into 50-week-old rats restored both ALP activity (103 +/- 4.6%) and Ca content (105 +/- 2.6%). 1,25(OH)2D3 and PGE2 also restored Ca content (103 +/- 4.5% and 98 +/- 3.8%, respectively) and stimulated ALP activity (142 +/- 2.3% and 133 +/- 3.6%). These results show that the administration of these hormones restores bone-forming ability in aged rats. A combination treatment of these hormones with rhBMP-2 might be applicable to the reconstruction of bone defects in elderly patients. 相似文献

It has previously been shown that mice with a defect in Fas ligand-mediated apoptosis have an enhancement of ectopic bone formation. We investigated the expression of bone-related markers--alkaline phosphatase, collagen, bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin, osteopontin, and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) -2, -4, and -7; and cytokines interleukin-1alpha (IL-1), IL-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in ectopic new bone induced by recombinant human (rh) BMP-2 in mice without functional Fas-ligand (gld mice). At day 6 after rhBMP-2 implantation, gld mice formed more cartilage and mesenchyme compared with their wild type littermates. At later stages, gld mice did not differ from the control mice in the volume of newly formed tissue, expressing higher level of BMP genes and lower levels of genes involved in osteoblast maturation--bone sialoprotein and osteopontin. Differences in the levels of expression of IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha were observed only at day 12 after rhBMP-2 implantation. These results suggest that gld mice have an increased recruitment of cells of mesenchymal origin and an abnormal pattern of differentiation and maturation of the newly formed mesenchymal tissues. 相似文献

Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) represents the osteoinductive protein factor which plays a dominant role in growth and regeneration of a bone tissue. In clinical practice the bone grafting materials on the basis of rhBMP-2 are widely applied; the Russian analogues of similar materials are not produced. The fragment of the bmp2gene coding for a mature protein was cloned in Escherichia coli. The effective overproducing strain of rhBMP-2 was created on a basis of the E. coli BL21 (DE3). The rhBMP-2 production was about 25% of total cell protein. The biologically active dimeric form of rhBMP-2 was obtained by isolation and purification of protein from inclusion bodies with subsequent refolding. The rhBMP-2 sample with more than 80% of the dimeric form was obtained, which is able to interact with specific antibodies to BMP-2. Biological activity of the received rhBMP-2 samples was shown in the in vitro experiments by induction of alkaline phosphatase synthesis in C2C12 and C3H10T1/2 cell cultures. On model of the ectopic osteogenesis it was shown that received rhBMP-2 possesses biological activity in vivo, causing tissue calcification in the place of an injection. The protein activity in vivo depends on way of protein introduction and characteristics of protein sample: rhBMP-2 may be introduced in an acid or basic buffer solution, with or without the carrier. The offered method of rhBMP-2 isolation and purification results in increasing common protein yield as well as the maintenance of biologically active dimeric form in comparison with the analogues described in the literature. 相似文献

Recycled autografts have been commonly used in biological reconstruction in conjunction with wide bone resection. Extracorporeal irradiation (ECIR) and freezing are the two major options for pretreating tumor-bearing autografts before transplant. This study, for the first time, compared the effects of these two techniques on bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 activity. Bone tissue extracted from human femoral heads were treated through either ECIR at different doses (5000, 15,000, and 30,000 rad) or liquid nitrogen (LN) freezing for different durations (5, 10, and 15 min). The amount of BMP was analyzed through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA assay). Furthermore, we also used tandem mass spectrometry to analyze change of BMP-2 and BMP-7 expression after high dosage of irradiation (30,000 rad) and long-time of freezing (15 min). To directly evaluate the effect of ECIR or LN freezing treatment on the activity of BMP, commercial recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) was added to the culture of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The post-treatment activity of rhBMP-2 was quantitated by measuring the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs with Alizarin Red S staining. Through Western blotting, the activation of the BMP signaling pathway by phospho-Smad antibodies was analyzed. Our results showed that post-treatment levels of BMP did not differ among the ECIR and LN freezing treatments in ELISA assay, but tandem mass spectrometry showed significantly lower expression of BMP-2 after 30,000 rad of irradiation. Both ECIR and freezing lowered the expression of regulatory factors involved in the BMP-activated signaling cascades and similar results were also observed in osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. However, LN freezing preserved better bioactivity of rhBMP-2 whereas dosage-dependent declination was observed in ECIR groups. In conclusion, considering BMP-2 activity, LN freezing-treated autografts may result in a better osteoinduction outcomes than those treated using ECIR. Further investigation of the factors involved in bone formation is required. 相似文献

Gene therapy for bone formation: in vitro and in vivo osteogenic activity of an adenovirus expressing BMP7 总被引:36,自引:0,他引:36
Franceschi RT Wang D Krebsbach PH Rutherford RB 《Journal of cellular biochemistry》2000,78(3):476-486
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are well-established agents for inducing orthotopic and ectopic bone formation. However, their clinical usefulness as regenerative agents may be limited by a short in vivo half-life and low specific activity. BMP gene therapy is an alternative route for exploiting the bone-inductive activity of this class of molecules. To test the feasibility of this approach, we examined the osteogenic activity of AdCMV-BMP7, an adenovirus containing BMP7 cDNA under control of the CMV promoter that was constructed using Cre/lox recombination (Hardy et al. [1997] J. Virol. 71:1842-1849). Adenovirus vectors were shown to readily infect a wide variety of cell types in vitro including osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and myoblasts. COS7 cells transduced with AdCMV-BMP7 produced high levels of BMP-7 (approximately 0.5 microg/10(6) cells). Furthermore, transduction of C2C12 murine myoblast cells with AdCMVBMP-7 suppressed the muscle phenotype and induced in vitro osteoblast differentiation. To test its in vivo biological activity, AdCMV-BMP7 was mixed with a bovine bone-derived collagen carrier (10(8) plaque-forming units virus/site) and was implanted into mouse muscle and dermal pouches. In both cases, an ossicle containing cortical and trabecular bone and a clearly defined marrow cavity formed at the site of virus implantation within 4 weeks. These data demonstrate that AdCMV-BMP7 transduced cells produce biologically active BMP-7 both in vitro and in vivo and show that gene therapy by direct viral transduction using a virus/matrix implant may be a viable route for stimulating bone regeneration. 相似文献

Pleiotrophin (PTN) is an extracellular matrix-associated growth factor and chemokine expressed in mesodermal and ectodermal cells. It plays an important role in osteoblast recruitment and differentiation. There is limited information currently available about PTN expression during odontoblast differentiation and tooth formation, and thus the authors aimed to establish the spatiotemporal expression pattern of PTN during mouse odontogenesis. Immortalized mouse dental pulp (MD10-D3, MD10-A11) and odontoblast-like (M06-G3) and ameloblast-like (EOE-3M) cell lines were grown and samples prepared for immunocytochemistry, Western blot, and conventional and quantitative PCR analysis. Effects of BMP2, BMP4, and BMP7 treatment on PTN expression in odontoblast-like M06-G3 cells were tested by quantitative PCR. Finally, immunohistochemistry of sectioned mice mandibles and maxillaries at developmental stages E16, E18, P1, P6, P10, and P28 was performed. The experiments showed that PTN, at both the mRNA and protein level, was expressed in all tested epithelial and mesenchymal dental cell lines and that the level of PTN mRNA was influenced differentially by the bone morphogenetic proteins. The authors observed initial expression of PTN in the inner enamel epithelium with prolonged expression in the ameloblasts and odontoblasts throughout their stages of maturation and strong expression in the terminally differentiated and enamel matrix-secreting ameloblasts and odontoblasts of the adult mouse incisors and molars. 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

Geometric effect of matrix upon cell differentiation: BMP-induced osteogenesis using a new bioglass with a feasible structure 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A new biocompatible glass, which is composed of CaO, P2O5, SiO2, and Al2O3 (abbreviated CPSA) and is characterized by higher elasticity than previous bioglass products, was molded into fibers with a diameter of 9 microm. With CPSA fibers, two geometrically different structures, balls and bundles (each 20 mg in weight), were prepared, combined with 2.2 microg of rhBMP-2 (a gift from Yamanouchi Co., Japan) and implanted subcutaneously into rats. The histology showed remarkably higher bone formation in the ball-CPSA/BMP at 2 and 4 weeks than in the bundle-CPSA/BMP. The ball-CPSA/BMP showed 10 times higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity at the second week and 5 times higher osteocalcin content at the fourth week than the bundle-CSPA/BMP. Vascular development in the implants was evaluated by mRNA expression of Flt-1 and KDR, two receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Both receptors showed higher expression in the case of the ball, while they were not detected in the bundle. It is concluded that the BMP-induced bone formation depends highly upon the porous vasculature-inducing geometry of the matrix, which can be constructed with the new CPSA fibers. 相似文献

Activation of osteo-progenitor cells by a novel synthetic peptide derived from the bone morphogenetic protein-2 knuckle epitope 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) promotes the formation and regeneration of bone and cartilage, and also participates in organogenesis, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. BMP-2 has two epitopes referred to as the "wrist epitope" and the "knuckle epitope". The wrist epitope is thought to bind to BMP receptor IA and the knuckle epitope to BMP receptor type II. However, the precise receptor-binding region in BMP-2 has not yet been clarified. Here, we report that a synthetic peptide, KIPKASSVPTELSAISTLYL, corresponding to residues 73-92 of the knuckle epitope of BMP-2, elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in the murine multipotent mesenchymal cell line, C3H10T1/2. The 73-92 peptide significantly inhibited the binding of rhBMP-2 to both BMP receptors type IA and type II. The 73-92 peptide also promoted the expression of osteocalcin mRNA and induced ectopic calcification when it was immobilized on a covalently cross-linked alginate gel and implanted into rat calf muscle. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the calcified product was identical to that of the rat tibia, and the major peaks were attributed to hydroxyapatite. These results indicate that the 73-92 peptide may be one of the receptor-binding sites on BMP-2 and may stimulate bone precursor cells to induce calcification. 相似文献

Osteoinductivity of partially purified native ostrich (Struthio camelus) bone morphogenetic protein: comparison with mammalian species 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF-beta superfamily. They are capable of inducing ectopic bone formation. Until now, the main interest has been focused on mammalian osteoinductive BMPs, and there are no reports of native BMP extracts of birds. In this study, we isolated and characterized native BMPs of ostrich (Struthio camelus) and compared them with identically isolated native bovine (cow) and reindeer BMPs with regard to BMP pattern and osteoinductive capacity. The ostrich BMP pattern differed markedly from that of cow and reindeer BMP in non-reduced SDS-PAGE, reduced SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The differences in isoelectric focusing analysis were smaller. However, the ostrich BMP extract had a peak at pH 5.1, clearly differing from the BMPs of cow and reindeer. The osteoinductive capacity and density of ectopic bone, induced by BMP extracts in a mouse thigh muscle pouch, were determined radiographically. The ostrich BMP extract displayed significantly lower osteoinductive capacity and density of induced bone than the bovine and reindeer BMP extracts. In conclusion, our results indicate that the BMP pattern of birds differs considerably from that of mammals, and that the osteoinductive capacity of BMPs and the density of induced bone are lower in birds than in mammals. They also suggest that the bone metabolism of birds is adapted to make light bones suitable for flying. 相似文献

Many bioactive molecules like recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) have been developed for mineralized bone grafts, for which proper scaffolds are necessary to successfully apply the bioactive molecules. In this study, we tested the osteogenic efficacy of rhBMP-2 produced in-house in combination with gelatin sponge as the scaffold carrier in a rabbit radial defect model. The efficacy of the rhBMP-2 was determined by alkaline phosphatase activity assay of C2C12 cells. Two groups of ten rabbits each were treated with rhBMP-2/gelatin sponge, or gelatin sponge only. At 4 weeks, rhBMP-2/gelatin sponge grafts showed more bone regeneration than gelatin sponge grafts, as determined by X-ray radiography, micro-computed tomography, and histological analyses. At 8 weeks, rhBMP-2/gelatin sponge grafts exerted much stronger osteogenic effects. The study demonstrates the improved osteogenic efficacy of the rhBMP-2/gelatin sponge grafts in a rabbit radial bone defect model acting as a bone-inductive material.
