Abstract
Background To date, the usefulness of parathyroid hormone [PTH (1–34)] in distraction osteogenesis has been reported in several studies. We aimed to determine the optimal timing of PTH (1–34) administration in a rabbit distraction osteogenesis model. Methods The lower hind leg of a Japanese white rabbit was externally fixed, and tibial osteotomy was performed. One week after the osteotomy, bone lengthening was carried out at 0.375 mm/12 h for 2 weeks. After 5 weeks, the lower leg bone was collected. Bone mineral density (BMD), peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and mechanical tests were performed on the distracted callus. The rabbits were divided into three groups according to the timing of PTH (1–34) administration: 4 weeks during the distraction and consolidation phases (group D + C), 2 weeks of the distraction phase (group D), and the first 2 weeks of the consolidation phase (group C). A control group (group N) was administered saline for 4 weeks during the distraction and consolidation phases. Furthermore, to obtain histological findings, lower leg bones were collected from each rabbit at 2, 3, and 4 weeks after osteotomy, and tissue sections of the distracted callus were examined histologically. Results The BMD was highest in group C and was significantly higher than group D. In pQCT, the total cross-sectional area was significantly higher in groups D + C, D, and C than group N, and the cortical bone area was highest in group C and was significantly higher than group D. In micro-CT, group C had the highest bone mass and number of trabeculae. Regarding the mechanical test, group C had the highest callus failure strength, and this value was significantly higher compared to group N. There was no significant difference between groups D and N. The histological findings revealed that the distracted callus mainly consisted of endochondral ossification in the distraction phase. In the consolidation phase, the chondrocytes were almost absent, and intramembranous ossification was the main type of ossification. Conclusion We found that the optimal timing of PTH (1–34) administration is during the consolidation phase, which is mainly characterized by intramembranous ossification.

Evaluation of Effects of Systemic Zoledronic Acid Application on Bone Maturation in the Consolidation Period in Distraction Osteogenesis. J Craniofac Surg 2021; 32:2901-2905. [PMID: 33935139 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000007698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a physiological process that generates new bone tissue formation, using progressively separated bone fragments. Recently, several techniques have been investigated to develop the maturation of the new bone tissue. Bisphosphonates was an effective material for the acceleration of bone formation in DO procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the systemic zoledronic acid application at the beginning of the consolidation period on new bone genesis in a DO model of rat femurs. The rats were divided randomly into 3 groups, as follows: Control group (CNT group) (n = 10), zoledronic acid dosage-1 (n = 10), and dosage-2 (n = 10) groups (ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2). No treatment was administered in controls, but DO was applied to the rat femurs. A single dose of 0.1 mg/kg and 0.2 mg/kg of zoledronic acid was administered systematically at the beginning of the consolidation period after the distraction in treatment groups, respectively. Histomorphometric analyses were performed on the original distracted bone area and the surrounding bone tissue. Osteoblasts, new bone formation, and fibrosis were scored. New bone formation in the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups, when compared with the control group, was detected highly (P < 0.05). The numbers of osteoblasts in the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups were higher when compared with the controls (P < 0.05). Fibrosis in the controls, when compared with the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups, was found to be higher (P < 0.05). Zoledronic acid application is an effective method for bone maturation in consolidation period in DO.

Assessment of the Tissue Response to Modification of the Surface of Dental Implants with Carboxyethylphosphonic Acid and Basic Fibroblastic Growth Factor Immobilization (Fgf-2): An Experimental Study on Minipigs. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10050358. [PMID: 33922433 PMCID: PMC8146140 DOI: 10.3390/biology10050358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 04/21/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of treating the surface of dental implants with carboxyethylphosphonic acid for the immobilization of FGF-2, the influence of FGF-2 on cortical bone in close contact with dental implants, new bone formation around dental implants in the presence of FGF-2 and the influence of FGF-2 on the interthread bone area of dental implants during the healing period after insertion. Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implant surface treatment with carboxyethylphosphonic acid and fibroblast growth factor 2 on the bone–implant interface during the osseointegration period in vivo using an animal model. The present research was carried out in six minipigs, in whose left tibia implants were inserted as follows: eight implants with a standard surface treatment, for the control group, and eight implants with a surface treatment of carboxyethylphosphonic acid and immobilization of FGF-2, for the test group. At 4 weeks after the insertion of the implants, the animals were sacrificed for the histomorphometric analysis of the samples. The means of the results for the implant–bone contact variable (BIC) were 46.39 ± 17.49% for the test group and 34.00 ± 9.92% for the control group; the difference was not statistically significant. For the corrected implant–bone contact variable (BICc), the mean value of the test group was 60.48 ± 18.11%, and that for the control group, 43.08 ± 10.77%; the difference was statistically significant (p-value = 0.035). The new bone formation (BV/TV) showed average results of 27.28 ± 3.88% for the test group and 26.63 ± 7.90% for the control group, meaning that the differences were not statistically significant (p-value = 0.839). Regarding the bone density at the interthread level (BAI/TA), the mean value of the test group was 32.27 ± 6.70%, and that of the control group was 32.91 ± 7.76%, with a p-value of 0.863, while for the peri-implant density (BAP/TA), the mean value of the test group was 44.96 ± 7.55%, and that for the control group was 44.80 ± 8.68%, without a significant difference between the groups. The current research only found a significant difference for the bone–implant contact at the cortical level; therefore, it could be considered that FGF-2 acts on the mineralization of bone tissue. The application of carboxyethylphosphonic acid on the surface of implants can be considered a promising alternative as a biomimetic coating for the immobilization of FGF-2. Despite no differences in the new bone formation around the implants or in the interthread or peri-implant bone density being detected, the biofunctionalization of the implant surface with FGF-2 accelerates the mineralization of the bone–implant interface at the cortical level, thereby reducing the osseointegration period.

Abstract
Bone is a hard-vascularized tissue, which renews itself continuously to adapt to the mechanical and metabolic demands of the body. The craniofacial area is prone to trauma and pathologies that often result in large bone damage, these leading to both aesthetic and functional complications for patients. The "gold standard" for treating these large defects is autologous bone grafting, which has some drawbacks including the requirement for a second surgical site with quantity of bone limitations, pain and other surgical complications. Indeed, tissue engineering combining a biomaterial with the appropriate cells and molecules of interest would allow a new therapeutic approach to treat large bone defects while avoiding complications associated with a second surgical site. This review first outlines the current knowledge of bone remodeling and the different signaling pathways involved seeking to improve our understanding of the roles of each to be able to stimulate or inhibit them. Secondly, it highlights the interesting characteristics of one growth factor in particular, FGF-2, and its role in bone homeostasis, before then analyzing its potential usefulness in craniofacial bone tissue engineering because of its proliferative, pro-angiogenic and pro-osteogenic effects depending on its spatial-temporal use, dose and mode of administration.

Percutaneous CO2 Treatment Accelerates Bone Generation During Distraction Osteogenesis in Rabbits. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2020; 478:1922-1935. [PMID: 32732577 PMCID: PMC7371043 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000001288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2019] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Distraction osteogenesis has been broadly used to treat various structural bone deformities and defects. However, prolonged healing time remains a major problem. Various approaches including the use of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, parathyroid hormone, and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been studied to shorten the treatment period with limited success. Our previous studies of rats have reported that the transcutaneous application of CO2 accelerates fracture repair and bone-defect healing in rats by promoting angiogenesis, blood flow, and endochondral ossification. This therapy may also accelerate bone generation during distraction osteogenesis, but, to our knowledge, no study investigating CO2 therapy on distraction osteogenesis has been reported. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We aimed to investigate the effect of transcutaneous CO2 during distraction osteogenesis in rabbits, which are the most suitable animal as a distraction osteogenesis model for a lengthener in terms of limb size. We asked: Does transcutaneous CO2 during distraction osteogenesis alter (1) radiographic bone density in the distraction gap during healing; (2) callus parameters, including callus bone mineral content, volumetric bone mineral density, and bone volume fraction; (3) the newly formed bone area, cartilage area, and angiogenesis, as well as the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), BMP-2, BMP-7, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) -1α, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); and (4) three-point bend biomechanical strength, stiffness, and energy? METHODS Forty 24-week-old female New Zealand white rabbits were used according to a research protocol approved by our institutional ethical committee. A distraction osteogenesis rabbit tibia model was created as previously described. Briefly, an external lengthener was applied to the right tibia, and a transverse osteotomy was performed at the mid-shaft. The osteotomy stumps were connected by adjusting the fixator to make no gap. After a 7-day latency phase, distraction was continued at 1 mm per day for 10 days. Beginning the day after the osteotomy, a 20-minute transcutaneous application of CO2 on the operated leg using a CO2 absorption-enhancing hydrogel was performed five times per week in the CO2 group (n = 20). Sham treatment with air was administered in the control group (n = 20). Animals were euthanized immediately after the distraction period (n = 10), 2 weeks (n = 10), and 4 weeks (n = 20) after completion of distraction. We performed bone density quantification on the plain radiographs to evaluate consolidation in the distraction gap with image analyzing software. Callus parameters were measured with micro-CT to assess callus microstructure. The newly formed bone area and cartilage area were measured histologically with safranin O/fast green staining to assess the progress of ossification. We also performed immunohistochemical staining of endothelial cells with fluorescein-labeled isolectin B4 and examined capillary density to evaluate angiogenesis. Gene expressions in newly generated callus were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Biomechanical strength, stiffness, and energy were determined from a three-point bend test to assess the mechanical strength of the callus. RESULTS Radiographs showed higher pixel values in the distracted area in the CO2 group than the control group at Week 4 of the consolidation phase (0.98 ± 0.11 [95% confidence interval 0.89 to 1.06] versus 1.19 ± 0.23 [95% CI 1.05 to 1.34]; p = 0.013). Micro-CT demonstrated that bone volume fraction in the CO2 group was higher than that in the control group at Week 4 (5.56 ± 3.21 % [95% CI 4.32 to 6.12 %] versus 11.90 ± 3.33 % [95% CI 9.63 to 14.25 %]; p = 0.035). There were no differences in any other parameters (that is, callus bone mineral content at Weeks 2 and 4; volumetric bone mineral density at Weeks 2 and 4; bone volume fraction at Week 2). At Week 2, rabbits in the CO2 group had a larger cartilage area compared with those in the control group (2.09 ± 1.34 mm [95% CI 1.26 to 2.92 mm] versus 5.10 ± 3.91 mm [95% CI 2.68 to 7.52 mm]; p = 0.011). More newly formed bone was observed in the CO2 group than the control group at Week 4 (68.31 ± 16.32 mm [95% CI 58.19 to 78.44 mm] versus 96.26 ± 19.37 mm [95% CI 84.25 to 108.26 mm]; p < 0.001). There were no differences in any other parameters (cartilage area at Weeks 0 and 4; newly formed bone area at Weeks 0 and 2). Immunohistochemical isolectin B4 staining showed greater capillary densities in rabbits in the CO2 group than the control group in the distraction area at Week 0 and surrounding tissue at Weeks 0 and 2 (distraction area at Week 0, 286.54 ± 61.55 /mm [95% CI 232.58 to 340.49] versus 410.24 ± 55.29 /mm [95% CI 361.78 to 458.71]; p < 0.001; surrounding tissue at Week 0 395.09 ± 68.16/mm [95% CI 335.34 to 454.83] versus 589.75 ± 174.42/mm [95% CI 436.86 to 742.64]; p = 0.003; at Week 2 271.22 ± 169.42 /mm [95% CI 122.71 to 419.73] versus 508.46 ± 49.06/mm [95% CI 465.45 to 551.47]; p < 0.001 respectively). There was no difference in the distraction area at Week 2. The expressions of BMP -2 at Week 2, HIF1-α at Week 2 and VEGF at Week 0 and 2 were greater in the CO2 group than in the control group (BMP -2 at Week 2 3.84 ± 0.83 fold [95% CI 3.11 to 4.58] versus 7.32 ± 1.63 fold [95% CI 5.88 to 8.75]; p < 0.001; HIF1-α at Week 2, 10.49 ± 2.93 fold [95% CI 7.91 to 13.06] versus 20.74 ± 11.01 fold [95% CI 11.09 to 30.40]; p < 0.001; VEGF at Week 0 4.80 ± 1.56 fold [95% CI 3.43 to 6.18] versus 11.36 ± 4.82 fold [95% CI 7.13 to 15.59]; p < 0.001; at Week 2 31.52 ± 8.26 fold [95% CI 24.27 to 38.76] versus 51.05 ± 15.52 fold [95% CI 37.44 to 64.66]; p = 0.034, respectively). There were no differences in any other parameters (BMP-2 at Week 0 and 4; BMP -7 at Weeks 0, 2 and 4; HIF-1α at Weeks 0 and 4; IL-6 at Weeks 0, 2 and 4; VEGF at Week 4). In the biomechanical assessment, ultimate stress and failure energy were greater in the CO2 group than in the control group at Week 4 (ultimate stress 259.96 ± 74.33 N [95% CI 167.66 to 352.25] versus 422.45 ± 99.32 N [95% CI 299.13 to 545.77]; p < 0.001, failure energy 311.32 ± 99.01 Nmm [95% CI 188.37 to 434.25] versus 954.97 ± 484.39 Nmm [95% CI 353.51 to 1556.42]; p = 0.003, respectively). There was no difference in stiffness (216.77 ± 143.39 N/mm [95% CI 38.73 to 394.81] versus 223.68 ± 122.17 N/mm [95% CI 71.99 to 375.37]; p = 0.92). CONCLUSION Transcutaneous application of CO2 accelerated bone generation in a distraction osteogenesis model of rabbit tibias. As demonstrated in previous studies, CO2 treatment might affect bone regeneration in distraction osteogenesis by promoting angiogenesis, blood flow, and endochondral ossification. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of the transcutaneous application of CO2 may open new possibilities for shortening healing time in patients with distraction osteogenesis. However, a deeper insight into the mechanism of CO2 in the local tissue is required before it can be used in future clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main disadvantage of distraction osteogenesis is the prolonged treatment protocol. Recently, oxytocin (OT) has been found to have anabolic effects on bone metabolism. In this experimental study, the effects of OT on the mandibular distraction gap in rabbits at 2 different distraction rates were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS This experimental study was conducted on 28 male New Zealand white rabbits. The animals were divided into 3 experimental groups and 1 control group. Group A (control group, n = 7) consisted of animals with distraction at a rate of 1 mm/day, and group B (n = 7) consisted of animals with a distraction rate of 2 mm/day; groups A and B received postoperative saline solution injection. Group C (n = 7) consisted of animals with distraction at a rate of 1 mm/day, and group D (n = 7) consisted of animals with a distraction rate of 2 mm/day; postoperative OT injection was performed in groups C and D. RESULTS Both histomorphologic and micro-computed tomography evaluations showed increased bone healing in the OT-treated groups. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the evaluation of both the histomorphometric and micro-computed tomographic data, systemic OT administration was found to increase new bone formation and bone healing with distraction osteogenesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Facial bone defects are frequently encountered problems in clinical practice. Bone grafts, flaps, and alloplastic materials are often used in their treatment. This leads to donor site morbidity and prolongation of the operation. The authors have planned this study to examine whether adipose tissue derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) has an osteogenic effect in the critical sized membranous bone defect of the zygomatic bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty male Wistar Albino rats were used. Bilateral zygomatic arches were opened with lateral incisions. A standard 3-mm bone defect was created bilaterally on the zygomatic arches of the rats. In the experiment side, the stem cell-rich SVF that was obtained by applying centrifugal process to the adipose tissue derived from the inguinal fat pad was injected into the site of the right zygomatic arch bone defect. In the control side, left zygomatic arch was left for secondary bone healing without any treatment after a 3-mm critical bone defect was created. In the postoperative 10th (n:5) and 20th weeks (n:13), the healing areas of bone defects were assessed by a 3-dimensional tomography, and then, the rats were sacrificed and bone healing was examined histologically. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences on the 10th week results. At the 20th week new bone formation amount calculated from the 3-dimensional computed tomography results was significantly higher in the experiment side (P = 0.033). In the histological examination at the 20th week, there was significantly more callus formation in the experiment side (P = 0.0112). DISCUSSION Stem cells can increase the rate of bone healing by differentiating into certain tissues. It is predicted that adipose tissue-derived SVF rich with mesenchymal stem cells can increase bone healing in facial bone defects and this application could replace the use of bone grafts and flaps in clinical practice. As a result, it is concluded that adipose tissue-derived stem cells can potentiate osteogenesis and reduce the possibility of developing necrosis on the bone ends.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare the bone healing in the distraction gap following the osteotomy performed with piezoelectric and conventional devices for the distraction osteogenesis in the rabbit mandibles. Twelve rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups; 6 for piezoelectric device and 6 for rotary instruments. After 3 days of latency period, distraction was started at a rate of 1 mm per day for 10 days. All the animals were sacrificed after 4 weeks of consolidation phase for histological and histomorphological evaluation. Histological evaluation revealed thick trabecular bone formation in all of the specimens. Inflammation scores were chronic minimal. The mean percentages of the bone area in distraction gap are 62% in group P and 57% in group R. However, the difference between 2 groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Our results revealed a slight increase in bone formation in the distraction gap in piezo-osteotomy groups histologically though not statistically supported. However, there is still a need for more histological studies with larger sample sizes evaluating the bone structure following piezo-osteotomies.

Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis, initially developed by Ilizarov for limb, is the tissular extension caused by the progressive space of the osseous pieces following an osteotomy. Distraction is osteogenesic and histogenic. Twenty-five years ago, at the instigation of McCarthy, this technique was used to handle the craniofacial malformations in the various floors of the face : mandibular, mediofacial and cranial. The most wide-spread protocols respect a latency period from 0 to 7 days, a rhythm of distraction from 1 to 2mm a day in 2 at 4 times and a period of consolidation from 4 to 8 weeks. Distraction is the result of the inventiveness of the pioneers then the work to always adapt to the multiple complex clinical situations. The surgeon has to choose between internal or external materials allowing a mono- or multi-vectorial extension, in osseous and/or dental anchoring. The mandibular distraction is very effective for the treatment of the secondary obstructive syndromes in the unilateral or bilateral severe hypomandibular malformations. She also allows desobstruction of the superior airways within the framework of the mediofacial hypoplasies as well as the secondary treatment of the growth defects in cleft lips and palates. Finally, the distraction osteogenesis enhanced reliability of the fronto-facial advancement in early and secondary treatment of craniofaciosynostosis. This is a real support of the facial growth, which has to be included in a plan of global treatment.

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of propolis on new bone formation after distraction osteogenesis (DO). This study examined 3 groups: control group, P100, and P200. Rabbits underwent DO of the left mandible after an osteotomy between the first molar and the mental foramen. Bone mineral content and bone mineral density were evaluated using dual-energy x-ray absorption 1 and 4 weeks after the procedure. The volume of connective tissue and new bone and the number of capillaries were measured using stereologic analysis after the subjects were killed. Dual-energy x-ray absorption showed that the bone mineral content and bone mineral density were higher in the groups treated with propolis by week 4, and these parameters were higher in the P200 group. Stereologic analysis showed no significant differences in connective tissue volume and number of capillaries among the groups. New bone volume was lowest in the P200 group. We concluded that propolis accelerates bone formation and may shorten the consolidation phase with DO.

Abstract
Background Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a promising tool for bone and tissue regeneration. However, prolonged healing time remains a major problem. Various materials including cells, cytokines, and growth factors have been used in an attempt to enhance bone formation. We examined the effect of percutaneous injection of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) during the consolidation phase on bone regeneration after distraction. Methods The immature rabbit tibial DO model (20 mm length-gain) was used. Twenty-eight animals received DBM 100 mg percutaneously at the end of distraction. Another 22 animals were left without further procedure (control). Plain radiographs were taken every week. Postmortem bone dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) studies were performed at the third and sixth weeks of the consolidation period and histological analysis was performed. Results The regenerate bone mineral density was higher in the DBM group when compared with that in the saline injection control group at the third week postdistraction. Quantitative analysis using micro-CT revealed larger trabecular bone volume, higher trabecular number, and less trabecular separation in the DBM group than in the saline injection control group. Cross-sectional area and cortical thickness at the sixth week postdistraction, assessed using micro-CT, were greater in the regenerates of the DBM group compared with the control group. Histological evaluation revealed higher trabecular bone volume and trabecular number in the regenerate of the DBM group. New bone formation was apparently enhanced, via endochondral ossification, at the site and in the vicinity of the injected DBM. DBM was absorbed slowly, but it remained until the sixth postoperative week after injection. Conclusions DBM administration into the distraction gap at the end of the distraction period resulted in a significantly greater regenerate bone area, trabecular number, and cortical thickness in the rabbit tibial DO model. These data suggest that percutaneous DBM administration at the end of the distraction period or in the early consolidation period may stimulate regenerate bone formation and consolidation in a clinical situation with delayed bone healing during DO.

Abstract
Background Changes over time in the callus during intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) were studied in rabbit distraction osteogenesis models. Method Models of distraction osteogenesis in Japanese white rabbits were created, and distraction osteogenesis (total length: 10.5 mm) was performed for 2 weeks. Simultaneously with the start of distraction, 30 rabbits received 4 weeks of subcutaneous administration of 30 μg/kg of PTH(1–34), teriparatide, (P-group: n = 15) or saline (N-group: n = 15) every other day. The tibias of five rabbits were dissected at 6, 8, and 10 weeks after surgery to perform bone mineral density (BMD), peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT), and mechanical testing. Results The mean BMD had no significant differences over time at 6, 8, and 10 weeks after surgery between the P-group and the N-group. On pQCT, the P-group had significant increases in total bone cross-sectional area of the callus compared to the N-group at 8 and 10 weeks after surgery. On mechanical testing, the P-group’s absorption energy had not changed at 6 weeks after surgery compared to the N-group, but it had significantly increased at 8 weeks. At 10 weeks after surgery, the N-group’s absorption energy rapidly increased, and the difference between the two groups disappeared. Conclusion The intermittent administration of PTH(1–34), teriparatide, for 4 weeks every other day from the start of distraction had the potential to shorten the callus maturation period in the rabbit distraction osteogenesis models.

Abstract
The functional significance of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling in bone formation has been demonstrated through genetic loss-of-function and gain-of-function approaches. FGFs, comprising 22 family members, are classified into three subfamilies: canonical, hormone-like, and intracellular. The former two subfamilies activate their signaling pathways through FGF receptors (FGFRs). Currently, intracellular FGFs appear to be primarily involved in the nervous system. Canonical FGFs such as FGF2 play significant roles in bone formation, and precise spatiotemporal control of FGFs and FGFRs at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels may allow for the functional diversity of FGFs during bone formation. Recently, several research groups, including ours, have shown that FGF23, a member of the hormone-like FGF subfamily, is primarily expressed in osteocytes/osteoblasts. This polypeptide decreases serum phosphate levels by inhibiting renal phosphate reabsorption and vitamin D3 activation, resulting in mineralization defects in the bone. Thus, FGFs are involved in the positive and negative regulation of bone formation. In this review, we focus on the reciprocal roles of FGFs in bone formation in relation to their local versus systemic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is used clinically as a bone substitute, but complete osteoinduction is slow. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is important in bone regeneration, but the biological effects are very limited because of the short half-life of the free form. Incorporation in gelatin allows slow release of growth factors during degradation. The present study evaluated whether control-released bFGF incorporated in β-TCP can promote bone regeneration in a murine cranial defect model. METHODS Bilateral cranial defects of 4 mm in diameter were made in 10-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats treated as follows: group 1, 20 μl saline as control; group 2, β-TCP disk in 20 μl saline; group 3, β-TCP disk in 50 μg bFGF solution; and group 4, β-TCP disk in 50 μg bFGF-containing gelatin hydrogel (n = 6 each). Histological and imaging analyses were performed at 1, 2, and 4 weeks after surgery. RESULTS The computed tomography value was lower in groups 3 and 4, whereas the rate of osteogenesis was higher histologically in group 4 than in the other groups. The appearance of tartrate-resistant acid phosphate-positive cells and osteocalcin-positive cells and disappearance of osteopontin-positive cells occurred earlier in group 4 than in the other groups. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that control-released bFGF incorporated in β-TCP can accelerate bone regeneration in the murine cranial defect model and may be promising for the clinical treatment of cranial defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus may impair bone healing after dental implant placement. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the local delivery of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) from poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres on osseointegration around titanium implants in diabetic rats. STUDY DESIGN The bFGF-PLGA microspheres were prepared by the W/O/W double-emulsion solvent evaporation method. A total of 20 rats were used to create diabetic animal models by giving them a high-fat and high-sugar diet and a low-dose streptozotocin intraperitoneal injection. Titanium implants were planted into the tibias of the diabetic rats and into 10 normal rats. Microspheres were loaded on the surfaces of the implants in the bFGF intervention group before they were placed into the rats. After 4 or 8 weeks, the tibias containing the implants were removed and embedded with resin. Uncalcified tissue slices were prepared to compare osseointegration. RESULTS At 4 weeks, the bone-implant contact rate in the diabetic control group was less than that in the control group and the bFGF intervention group (P < .05). At 8 weeks, the results among the 3 groups were similar to those at 4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS The local delivery of bFGF from PLGA microspheres into areas around titanium implants may improve osseointegration in diabetic rats.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) on the amount and period of new bone formation in rabbit mandibular distraction models using beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) as a bone graft substitute. Sixteen male Japanese White rabbits were divided into the following four experimental groups: 1, distraction alone; 2, distraction with beta-TCP granules; 3, distraction with rhFGF-2 (25 microg/50 microL) injected into beta-TCP granules; and 4, distraction with rhFGF-2 (100 microg/50 microL) injected into beta-TCP granules. The bones were harvested at 4 weeks after the operation and examined using soft radiography, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). The dissected mandibles were stained using the Villanueva bone staining method, and the amount of new bone formed, bioresorption of beta-TCP, and new blood vessel formation were morphometrically calculated using bone histomorphometry. Radiopaque areas were observed more frequently in the distracted area of groups 3 and 4. Micro-CT analysis revealed partial new bone formation in the central region of the distracted area in groups 3 and 4. pQCT analysis revealed increased bone mineral density in groups 3 and 4. Histomorphometric analysis revealed increased newly formed bone and blood vessel areas in groups 3 and 4. In group 4, the number of osteoclasts around the beta-TCP granules had significantly increased. The present findings suggested that the combined use of rhFGF-2 and beta-TCP reduced the treatment period for distraction osteogenesis and accelerated the formation of a new high-quality bone.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the clinical adoption of distraction osteogenesis (DO), studies examining the bone healing process at the distraction gap in osteoporotic bone are limited. We examined the effect of osteoporosis in the ovariectomized rat on DO. MATERIAL AND METHODS Mid-diaphyseal osteotomies were performed on the femurs of ovariectomized (OVX) rats. External distractors were placed on these rats and also on sham-ovariectomized rats. After a 7-day latency period, distraction was carried out at a rate of 0.5mm/day for 10 days. The bone volume (BV) of the distraction gap was measured by Micro-focused X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT) at 0, 2, and 4 weeks after completion of the distraction, and the distraction gap was examined histologically. RESULTS The BV of the distraction gap in the OVX group was significantly lower than that in the sham group at 2 and 4 weeks after completion of distraction (p<0.01). On histological examination, the distraction gap in the OVX group was filled with scattered smaller bone trabeculae than those seen in the sham group at 4 weeks after completion of distraction. Osteoclast numbers at the distraction gap in the OVX group were significantly increased when compared to the sham group (p<0.01). CONCLUSION Bone turnover with osteoclast predominance in ovariectomized rats is likely to be the cause of a reduction in new bone formation at the distraction gap.

Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis (DO), which induces new bone formation along the vector of pull without requiring the use of bone graft, has become a valuable surgical method for patients with limb discrepancy or craniofacial microsomia. However, the long treatment period and possible fibrous union or nonunion hampers its further clinical application. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) have been widely used as a source of cell therapy or a vector for gene transfer. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has high potential for promotion of bone regeneration. However, bFGF has a short half value period in vivo. In this study, osteodistraction was applied in craniofacial bone of rabbit to observe the effects of BMMSCs with or without bFGF gene transfected on bone regeneration in the distracted zone. Mandibular lengthening (10 mm) was performed in 42 New Zealand white rabbits using a rapid distraction rate (2 mm/day). The animals were then randomly divided into group A, group B and group C (n=14 for each group). At the end of distraction, physiological saline, autologous BMMSCs and BMMSCs transfected with bFGF were injected into the distraction gaps in groups A, B, and C, respectively. Eight weeks after DO, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the distracted mandibles were harvested and processed for radiography, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), micro-CT, histology and three-point bend testing. Under a rapid distraction, immature or poor bone healing was observed in the distracted callus from group A. However, better bone formation and higher bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in the distracted callus were observed in group B and group C, the latter showed excellent bone formation and highest BMD and BMC. Such finding was confirmed by histological and micro-CT examinations. The values of BT/TV in group C were highest and the micro-architecture presented more mature characteristics. The mechanical strength in group C was 1.63-fold and 1.28-fold greater than that in group A and B by three-point bending testing. The results of this study suggest that BMMSCs transplantation can promote bone formation in DO, and bFGF-modified BMMSCs were more effective in this enhancement.

Addition of mesenchymal stem cells to the scaffold of platelet-rich plasma is beneficial for the reduction of the consolidation period in mandibular distraction osteogenesis. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2010; 68:1112-24.

Abstract
PURPOSE Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a wonderful scaffold to induce osteogenesis. In this study, we investigated whether the combination of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) with PRP has advantages over PRP for the reduction of consolidation period in mandibular distraction osteogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS After osteotomy, an external distraction device was fixed in both mandibles of 38 rabbits. After a 5-day latency period, a total of 6.3 mm was distracted for 6 days. PRP gel with or without MSC was injected into the distracted area on day 1 of the consolidation period. Healing tissues were analyzed histologically, radiologically, and mechanically on weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 after consolidation. RESULTS In week 1, the MSC/PRP group was 34%, 20%, 21%, and 32% higher than the PRP group in the result of histomorphometry, radiodensity ratio of new bone/host bone and new bone/adjacent tooth, and microhardness test, respectively. Consolidation period was reduced by 6.6 and 5.1 days at 80% and 90% new bone/host bone ratio through regression analysis, respectively. CONCLUSION The addition of MSC in PRP scaffold significantly (P < .05) increased new bone formation, mineralization, and mechanical property compared to the PRP-only group. These results indicate that the combination therapy of MSC and PRP is more effective for reducing the consolidation period of distraction.

Abstract
Pro-lysyl oxidase is secreted as a 50-kDa proenzyme and is then cleaved to a 30-kDa mature enzyme (lysyl oxidase (LOX)) and an 18-kDa propeptide (lysyl oxidase propeptide (LOX-PP)). The presence of LOX-PP in the cell layers of phenotypically normal osteoblast cultures led us to investigate the effects of LOX-PP on osteoblast differentiation. Data indicate that LOX-PP inhibits terminal mineralization in primary calvaria osteoblast cultures when added at early stages of differentiation, with no effects seen when present at later stages. LOX-PP was found to inhibit serum- and FGF-2-stimulated DNA synthesis and FGF-2-stimulated cell growth. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot analyses show that LOX-PP inhibits FGF-2-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation, signaling events that mediate the FGF-2-induced proliferative response. LOX-PP inhibits FGF-2-stimulated phosphorylation of FRS2alpha and FGF-2-stimulated DNA synthesis, even after inhibition of sulfation of heparan sulfate proteoglycans. These data point to a LOX-PP target at or near the level of fibroblast growth factor receptor binding or activation. Ligand binding assays on osteoblast cell layers with (125)I-FGF-2 demonstrate a concentration-dependent inhibition of FGF-2 binding to osteoblasts by LOX-PP. In vitro binding assays with recombinant fibroblast growth factor receptor protein revealed that LOX-PP inhibits FGF-2 binding in an uncompetitive manner. We propose a working model for the respective roles of LOX enzyme and LOX-PP in osteoblast phenotype development in which LOX-PP may act to inhibit the proliferative response possibly to allow cells to exit from the cell cycle and progress to the next stages of differentiation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of subcutaneous administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on regeneration formation and quality during mandibular distraction osteogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen adult male New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. Ethical approval was obtained from the Animal Research Institute of Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) was performed with a custom-made distractor on the left mandibles of rabbits. In the experimental group, 4 doses of 150 IU/kg rHuEPO were administered at 48-hour intervals. The first dose was given immediately after surgery. Control subjects received 0.5 mL/kg isotonic solution in the same manner. After 2 days of latency, mandibles were distracted 1 mm/day at 12-hour intervals for 5 days. A 5-mm lengthening was achieved. All animals were sacrificed after 30 days of consolidation. Afterward, samples were prepared for histomorphometric evaluation of newly formed bone area. RESULTS The number of osteoblasts and blood vessels was significantly higher, whereas the number of osteoclasts was significantly lower, in the experimental group than in the control group (P < .05). In the experimental group, the area of new bone formation was greater than in the control group (P < .05). Moreover, fibroblast and collagen numbers per unit area were higher in the experimental group. However, this finding was not statistically significant (P > .05). CONCLUSION The subcutaneous administration of rHuEPO improves the rate and quality of bone-healing during distraction osteogenesis. However, the short-term favorable effects of rHuEPO in this study should be extended with long-term investigations before clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Local administration of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has anabolic effects on bone formation. A delivery system for local treatment is required to increase efficacy because of its short half-life. However, little is known about the effects of cyclical local injection of bFGF. We evaluated the effects of single and cyclical local injection of bFGF at a cancellous bone defect in the femoral condyle in rabbits. METHODS Using the "vehicle only" as a control, a single low dose (40 microg), single high dose (120 microg), or cyclical low dose (40 microg, three times) of bFGF was injected percutaneously into a bone defect implanted with a gelatin sponge. The rabbits were killed at 4 weeks after surgery and the femurs were harvested for evaluation. RESULTS Both single and cyclical administration of bFGF dose-dependently increased the amount of new bone formation in the bone defect using radiographs (P < 0.01) and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements (P < 0.01) compared to controls. However, only high-dose bFGF injection significantly increased the cancellous bone volume at the bone defect (P < 0.05) compared to controls, using bone histomorphometry. Cyclical injection of bFGF significantly increased the number of runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2)-positive cells compared to single low- and high-dose bFGF administration (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively), and single high-dose and cyclical administration significantly increased the number of osteopontin-positive cells compared to controls (P < 0.01), based on immunohistochemical analysis. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that high-dose injection of bFGF, at the very early stage of cancellous bone healing, is more effective in increasing cancellous bone volume, and cyclical injection of bFGF may stimulate osteoprogenitor cells.

Abstract
The bony biochemical environment is an active and dynamic system that permits and promotes cellular functions that lead to matrix production and ossification. Each component is capable of conveying important regulatory cues to nearby cells, thus effecting gene expression and changes at the cytostructural level. Here, we review the various signaling molecules that contribute to the active and dynamic nature of the biochemical system. These components include hormones, cytokines, and growth factors. We describe their role in regulating bone metabolism. Certain growth factors (i.e., TGF-beta, IGF-1, and VEGF) are described in greater detail because of their potential importance in developing successful tissue-engineering strategies.

Abstract
Several methods have been used to increase bone mass in distraction osteogenesis. Since bone resorption as well as regeneration is stimulated in the distracted segment, bisphosphonate can be a beneficial agent for distraction osteogenesis. Here, we examined the effects of bisphosphonate injected continuously into the regenerate on bone volume, and architectural and mechanical properties of distraction osteogenesis. The left tibia of Japanese White rabbits (n=66) was subjected to slow distraction using an external fixator. At the beginning of the consolidation phase, alendronate (7 microg/kg/day) was infused directly into the lengthened segment for 14 days using an osmotic pump. Control rabbits were infused with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The tibiae were monitored weekly by soft X-ray and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The animals were sacrificed at 4, 6, and 8 weeks after operation to examine bone mineral density (BMD) and cortical bone thickness (CBT) by peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (pQCT), while the mechanical property of the lengthened tibia was measured by three-point bending test. In PBS-infused control animals, bone mineral content around the lengthened segment began to decrease after the first week of consolidation phase, forming a tubular bone structure with thin cortex. Infusion of alendronate increased peak bone mineral content around the lengthened segment. At the end of the experiment, volumetric BMD, CBT and mechanical strength of the lengthened segment of the treatment group were approximately twice those of the control animals. Alendronate infused in this manner significantly prevented the osteopenia that critically began early in the consolidation phase, though the dose used in this study was relatively low and no adverse events were noted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distraction osteogenesis is routinely used for reconstruction of bone. Conversely, it was hypothesized that mechanical traction of the periosteum would induce bone formation, and hence the use of periosteal distraction for induction of osteogenesis has been proposed. Further, it was postulated that intracallus administration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) would facilitate osteogenesis. To investigate this hypothesis, formation of newly synthesized bone was evaluated using micro-computerized tomography (microCT) and histomorphometry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Periosteal distractors were placed subperiosteally in one side of the mandible of rabbits, whereas the contralateral served as control. One group of animals received VEGF into the forming callus. Formation of bone was measured using microCT and histological analysis. RESULTS The results demonstrate formation of new bone following periosteal distraction. Addition of VEGF to the distraction site increased bone synthesis. CONCLUSIONS microCT and histological analysis validate the hypothesis that mechanical distraction of the periosteum induces osteogenesis and that VEGF has a positive effect on osteogenesis. Periosteal distraction is emerging as a reliable technique for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Adipose-derived adult stem cells (ASCs), like their bone-marrow derived counterparts, possess the ability to differentiate down osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic, and myogenic pathways. For bone differentiation of mouse ASCs (mASCs), retinoic-acid mediated upregulation of BMPR-IB has been found to be necessary. Interestingly, our previous work has also shown Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) to strongly inhibit this osteogenic differentiation, even in the presence of retinoic acid. In this report, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying FGF-2 mediated osteogenic inhibition, demonstrating that addition of exogenous FGF-2 to mASCs antagonizes upregulation of BMPR-IB gene expression in response to retinoic acid. In addition, constitutive expression of BMPR-IB, but not BMPR-IA or BMPR-II, was found to counteract the inhibitory effects of FGF-2. Finally, p53(-/-) mASCs and human ASCs, both of which express high levels of endogenous BMPR-IB, underwent normal osteogenic differentiation even in the presence of FGF-2. Collectively, our data therefore indicate that FGF-2 antagonizes the response of mASCs to retinoic acid and also suggest that threshold levels of BMPR-IB may play a crucial role both in counteracting the inhibitory role of FGF-2 and in promoting osteogenic differentiation of ASCs in the absence of retinoic acid. Moreover, the present study also indicates that differences exist between mouse and human ASCs in relationship to FGF-2 activity in the osteogenic context.

Abstract
Experimental tibial lengthening was achieved in 61 rabbits to examine the effect of continuous local infusion of recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) on bone healing of the lengthened segment. The tibial diaphysis was separated by osteotomy and was subjected to slow progressive distraction (rate: 0.35 mm/12 h) using a monolateral external fixator. There were a lag phase for 1 week, a distraction phase for 2 weeks, and a consolidation phase for 5 weeks in this experiment. At various stages of distraction, rhFGF-2 was infused continuously for 2 weeks into the lengthened segment (rate: 14.28 microg/60 microl/day) using an osmotic pump implanted under the skin. Bone healing was significantly accelerated when rhFGF-2 was infused in the beginning of consolidation phase, but not in the distraction phase or in the lag phase. Infusion of normal saline (N/S) using the same osmotic pump had no effect. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (pQCT) studies demonstrated that rhFGF-2-treated tibia had increased bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC) and cortical bone thickness (CBT) when compared with N/S-treated tibia. Three-point bending test demonstrated that rhFGF-2-treated bone had significantly stronger mechanical properties than N/S-treated bone. Finally, distribution of the infused materials was checked by using Indian ink or radio-opaque. The dyes distributed widely but exclusively in the lengthened segment. Based on these results, we conclude that direct delivery of rhFGF-2 into the lengthened segment can shorten the consolidation phase of limb lengthening and the method is applicable to the clinical treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rate of lengthening has a profound impact on bone regeneration during distraction osteogenesis. Rapid distraction can delay or completely inhibit union, whereas distracting too slowly may lead to premature consolidation. However, the mechanisms responsible for retardation of healing due to rapid distraction have not been elucidated. This study explored whether rapid distraction alters the expression of certain angiogenic growth factors, in particular, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-AA), and subsequent new vessel formation as evidenced by platelet endothelial cellular adhesion marker expression (CD31), an indicator of vascular budding. METHODS Unilateral femoral lengthenings were performed in 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats using a protocol that involved a 7-day latency period and distraction rates of either 0.5 (slow distraction) or 1.5 mm/d (fast distraction) for a total of 7.0 mm of lengthening. Animals were euthanized on postoperative days 8, 10, 12, 14, and 21 (n = 6 per time point and distraction rate). Expression of FGF-2, VEGF, PDGF-AA, and CD31 was characterized immunohistochemically. RESULTS Cellular staining of FGF-2, PDGF-AA, VEGF, and CD31 was reduced on days 8 to 12 in the regenerate of the fast-distraction animals compared with the slow-distraction animals. Staining of all growth factors was weak on days 14 and 21 at the slow rate and absent at the fast rate. Regardless of time point, a similar spatial localization of growth factor expression was observed at the 2 rates of distraction. CONCLUSIONS The reduced expression of angiogenic growth factors and CD31, a marker of new vessel formation, indicates that the angiogenic cascade and new vessel formation required for effective bone healing is disrupted at a distraction rate of 1.5 mm/d in a rat model of limb lengthening. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Delayed bone healing with rapid distraction may be due in part to decreased cellular signaling required for angiogenesis. It may be possible to improve bone healing at increased distraction rates with the appropriately timed administration of growth factors.

Abstract
The feasibility of bone transport with bone substitute and the factors which are essential for a successful bone transport are unknown. We studied six groups of 12 Japanese white rabbits. Groups A to D received cylindrical autologous bone segments and groups E and F hydroxyapatite prostheses. The periosteum was preserved in group A so that its segments had a blood supply, cells, proteins and scaffold. Group B had no blood supply. Group C had proteins and scaffold and group D had only scaffold. Group E received hydroxyapatite loaded with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 and group F had hydroxyapatite alone. Distraction osteogenesis occurred in groups A to C and E which had osteo-conductive transport segments loaded with osteo-inductive proteins. We conclude that scaffold and proteins are essential for successful bone transport, and that bone substitute can be used to regenerate bone.

Abstract
Thrombin-related peptide 508 (TP508) accelerates bone regeneration during distraction osteogenesis (DO). We have examined the effect of TP508 on bone regeneration during DO by immunolocalization of Runx2 protein, a marker of osteoblast differentiation, and of osteopontin (OPN) and bone sialoprotein (BSP), two late markers of the osteoblast lineage. Distraction was performed in tibiae of rabbits over a period of 6 days. TP508 (30 or 300 μg) or vehicle was injected into the distraction gap at the beginning and end of the distraction period. Two weeks after active distraction, tissue samples were harvested and processed for immunohistochemical analysis. We also tested the in vitro effect of TP508 on Runx2 mRNA expression in osteoblast-like (MC3T3-E1) cells by polymerase chain reaction analysis. Runx2 and OPN protein were observed in preosteoblasts, osteoblasts, osteocytes of newly formed bone, blood vessel cells and many fibroblast-like cells of the soft connective tissue. Immunostaining for BSP was more restricted to osteoblasts and osteocytes. Significantly more Runx2- and OPN-expressing cells were seen in the group treated with 300 μg TP508 than in the control group injected with saline or with 30 μg TP508. However, TP508 failed to increase Runx2 mRNA levels significantly in MC3T3-E1 cells after 2–3 days of exposure. Our data suggest that TP508 enhances bone regeneration during DO by increasing the proportion of cells of the osteoblastic lineage. Clinically, TP508 may shorten the healing time during DO; this might be of benefit when bone regeneration is slow.

Abstract
Although the majority of current gene transfer techniques have focused on increasing the ability of the DNA to enter the cell, it is possible that changing the proliferative and migratory state of cells will influence the cells ability to take up and express plasmid DNA. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that growth factors (basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF)) used to alter the proliferative and migratory state of cells can alter plasmid DNA uptake and expression. In vitro studies indicate that enhancing cell proliferation with growth factor exposure enhances plasmid DNA uptake and expression. Furthermore, dual localized delivery of bFGF and plasmid DNA in vivo increases the expression, 3-6 times over control, as compared to plasmid delivery alone. Dual delivery of a factor promoting cell proliferation and a plasmid led to a further increase in the expression of the plasmid encoding bone morphogenetic protein-2 in a rat cranial defect by specific cell populations. The results of these studies suggest that increasing the proliferative state of target cell populations can enhance non-viral gene transfer.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The FIGNL1 gene was proven to be a new subfamily member of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA proteins). In this in vitro study, the AAA proteins inhibited osteoblast proliferation and stimulated osteoblast differentiation. We showed that FIGNL1 may play some regulatory role in osteoblastogenesis. INTRODUCTION The fidgetin-like 1 (FIGNL1) gene encodes a new subfamily member of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA proteins). Although the FIGNL1 protein localizes to both the nucleus and cytoplasm, the function of FIGNL1 remains unknown. In a previous study, we identified several genes that mediate the anabolic effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on bone by using microarray data. FIGNL1 was one of the genes that downregulated >2-fold in MC3T3-E1 cells after treatment with bFGF. Therefore, this study was aimed to identify and confirm the function of FIGNL1 on osteoblastogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined the effect of the FIGNL1 gene on proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in mouse osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1 and mouse primary calvarial cells) using flow cytometry, RT-PCR, cell proliferation assay, and cell death assay. MC3T3-E1 cells and mouse calvarial cells were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) directed against the FIGNL1 or nontargeting control siRNA and examined by cell proliferation and cell death assays. Also, FIGNL1 was fused to enhance green fluorescent protein (EGFP), and the EGFP-fused protein was transiently expressed in MC3T3-E1 cells. RESULTS Reduced expression of FIGNL1 by bFGF and TGF-beta1 treatment was verified by RT-PCR analysis. Overexpression of FIGNL1 reduced the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 and calvarial cells, more than the mock transfected control cells did. In contrast, siFIGNL1 transfection significantly increased the proliferation of osteoblasts, whereas overexpression of FIGNL1 did not seem to alter apoptosis in osteoblasts. Meanwhile, overexpression of FIGNL1 enhanced the mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) in osteoblasts. In contrast, siFIGNL1 decreased the expression of ALP and OCN. A pEGFP-FIGNL1 transfected into MCT3-E1 cells had an initially ubiquitous distribution and rapidly translocated to the nucleus 1 h after bFGF treatment. CONCLUSIONS From these results, we proposed that FIGNL1, a subfamily member of the AAA family of proteins, might play some regulatory role in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Further analyses of FIGNL1 will be needed to better delineate the mechanisms contributing to the inhibition of proliferation and stimulation of osteoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Based on preclinical evidence in animal models, the present study examined the clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) to accelerate bone repair in a dose-escalation prospective trial. One of three dosages (200, 400 or 800 microg) of rhFGF-2 in a biodegradable gelatin hydrogel was injected during surgery into the osteotomy site of 59 knee osteoarthritis patients undergoing high tibial osteotomy, and 57 of them were monitored for 16 weeks. The rhFGF-2 dose dependently increased the percentage of patients with radiographic bone union, and decreased the average time needed for such union. The percentages of patients with an absence of pain and full-weight bearing were also greater in the higher dosage groups than in the low dosage group, especially in the clinically critical periods 6, 8, and 10 weeks. Neither blood chemistries nor clinical adverse events were associated with the rhFGF-2 dosages. We therefore conclude that the rhFGF-2 in gelatin hydrogel dose dependently accelerated radiographic bone union of a surgical osteotomy with a safety profile at least at the dosages used, suggesting the clinical efficacy of this agent for bone repair.

Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis is a well established clinical treatment for limb length discrepancy and skeletal deformities. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta1) is a multifunctional peptide which controls proliferation and expression of cells specific to bone like chondrocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts including mesenchymal precursor cells. To decrease the external fixation time with increasing the strength of regenerate (newly formed bone after distraction) we tested the effect of locally applied transforming growth factor beta 1 on distraction osteogenesis. A total of 28 mature female white New zealand rabbits weighing 3,5 kg-4,5 kg were studied. 10 animals were belonging to biomechanical testing group (5 for the study and 5 for the control subgroups), and the others were to histology group. In biomechanical group after tibial osteotomy TGF-beta1 was applied subperiosteally for 5 days just proximal to osteotomy site. Control group received only the solvent. Seven days after tibial osteotomy distraction was started at a rate of 0.25 mm/12 hours for 3 weeks with a unilateral fixator. Rabbits were sacrificed at the end of a consolidation period 8 week after tibial osteotomy. We assessed density of the elongation zone of rabbit tibial bones with the computed tomography. Then biomechanical parametres were assessed using the torsional testing using the material testing machine. In histology group rabbits were classified as control and study (rabbits that were given TGF-beta1). Rabbits were sacrificed at the end of first week, second week and fourth week also at the end of consolidation period 8 week after tibial osteotomy. Immunohistochemical and histologic parameters were examined. Biomechanical testing was applied as torsional testing. These values are used in determination of maximal loading, stiffness and energy absorbed during testing (brittleness). The histomorphometric examination looked for the differences between the study and control groups in terms of bone formation pattern, bone quality and quantity. The immunohistochemical studies investigated the mechanism of TGF-beta1, and its presence in different cell types. The results of this study suggest that locally applied TGF-beta1 improves the mineral density of distraction gap and load to failure(energy absorbed during testing). Though there is no significant histomorphometric difference between the study and control groups, there is an increased bone mineral density and an according maximum energy absorbance in the study group. This effect can be explained by the following mechanism: TGF-beta1 exerts its effect on two different receptor types (Type 1 and 2). Type 1 receptors are localized to bone matrix and type 2 receptors are localized to the intracellular space. The specific stains utilized in the current experiment are specific to type 2 receptors. They have been shown to be down-regulated by exogenous TGF-beta1 injections. Most probably, type 1 receptors are up-regulated by this exogenous administration, but unfortunately, there is currently no specific stain on tha market to display type 1 receptors and to prove this explanation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate whether injections of marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells could be used to facilitate new bone formation during distraction osteogenesis. METHODS Fifteen New Zealand rabbits underwent bilateral osteotomy. After a 1-week latency period, bone distraction was activated at a rate of 2.0 mm/day for 5 days. The marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells derived from the ilium marrow were cultured to a population of 10 in 0.5 ml and then unilaterally transplanted to the gap of distracted callus immediately after distraction had been terminated. Rabbits were killed at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after completion of bone lengthening. The distracted areas were harvested and evaluated by histologic, histomorphometric, radiographic, and scanning electron microscopic analysis. Bone mineral density in the lengthened callus was evaluated using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS Radiographic evaluation indicated a significant increase in bony union of the distraction regenerate in the experimental side compared with the control side. Corresponding to the radiographic findings, the histologic examination showed an earlier and more intensive bone formation in the experimental side after 2, 4, and 6 weeks compared with the control side. Larger chondroid islands were found evident in distracted bone of the control side than in the experimental side. CONCLUSIONS The results show that transplantation of osteoblast-like cells promotes maturity of the distracted callus, as observed on the second and fourth weeks after lengthening. The method appears promising as a means of shortening the consolidation period of osteodistraction and decreasing complications during bone lengthening.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to confirm whether an agonist of prostaglandin E receptor subtype EP4 can enhance bone consolidation in distraction osteogenesis. A rat distraction osteogenesis model was generated. A unilateral external fixator was fixed to the left femur of the rats of this model after osteotomy. Seven days later, 0.25 mm/12 h or 0.5 mm/12 h elongation was performed for 2 weeks. A systemic administration of an EP4 receptor agonist (ONO 4819 . CD, 3, 10, 30 microg/kg) or normal saline by subcutaneous injection was also performed for 2 weeks. The animals were sacrificed 10, 14, 17, 21, and 42 days after the operation. Radiographic examination, histological examination, and measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) and distraction-callus hardness were performed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate new bone formation. Twenty-one days after the operation, the experimental group had a higher BMD and a higher distraction-callus hardness than that of the control group. Forty-two days after the operation, BMD was similar among all of the groups. But the hardness of the experimental groups increased more than that of the control group, so the statistical differences in distraction-callus hardness became more distinct between the two groups, indicating an improved remodeling of the distraction callus. These findings are also supported by histological examination. Subcutaneous injection of an EP4 receptor agonist can promote bone formation and remodeling during distraction osteogenesis. ONO 4819 * CD might be a potential candidate for shortening the treatment time of distraction osteogenesis.
