Arias-Betancur A, Badilla-Wenzel N, Astete-Sanhueza Á, Farfán-Beltrán N, Dias FJ. Carrier systems for bone morphogenetic proteins: An overview of biomaterials used for dentoalveolar and maxillofacial bone regeneration. JAPANESE DENTAL SCIENCE REVIEW 2022; 58:316-327. [PMID: 36281233 PMCID: PMC9587372 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdsr.2022.10.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Different types of biomaterials have been used to fabricate carriers to deliver bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in both dentoalveolar and maxillofacial bone regeneration procedures. Despite that absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) is considered the gold standard for BMP delivery, there is still some concerns regarding its use mainly due to its poor mechanical properties. To overcome this, novel systems are being developed, however, due to the wide variety of biomaterial combination, the heterogeneous assessment of newly formed tissue, and the intended clinical applications, there is still no consensus regarding which is more efficient in a particular clinical scenario. The combination of two or more biomaterials in different topological configurations has allowed specific controlled-release patterns for BMPs, improving their biological and mechanical properties compared with classical single-material carriers. However, more basic research is needed. Since the BMPs can be used in multiple clinical scenarios having different biological and mechanical needs, novel carriers should be developed in a context-specific manner. Thus, the purpose of this review is to gather current knowledge about biomaterials used to fabricate delivery systems for BMPs in both dentoalveolar and maxillofacial contexts. Aspects related with the biological, physical and mechanical characteristics of each biomaterial are also presented and discussed. Strategies for bone formation and regeneration are a major concern in dentistry. Topical delivery of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) allows rapid bone formation. BMPs requires proper carrier system to allow controlled and sustained release. Carrier should also fulfill mechanical requirements of bone defect sites. By using complex composites, it would be possible to develop new carriers for BMPs.

Biomater Res 2019; 23:12. [PMID: 31372237 PMCID: PMC6660686 DOI: 10.1186/s40824-019-0161-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2019] [Accepted: 07/17/2019] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background It has been reported that the microporous structure of calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics is important to osteoconduction. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) has been shown to be a promising alternative to bone grafting and a therapeutic agent promoting bone regeneration when delivered locally. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of micro-porosity within beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) cylinders and local BMP-2 administration on β-TCP resorption and new bone formation. Methods Bilateral cylindrical bone defects were created in rabbit distal femora, and the defects were filled with β-TCP. Rabbits were divided into 3 groups; defects were filled with a β-TCP cylinder with a total of approximately 60% porosity (Group A: 13.4% micro- and 46.9% macropore, Group B: 38.5% micro- and 20.3% macropore, Group C: the same micro- and macro-porosity as in group B supplemented with BMP-2). Rabbits were sacrificed 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks postoperatively. Results The number of TRAP-positive cells and new bone formation in group B were significantly greater than those in group A at every period. The amount of residual β-TCP in group C was less than that in group B at all time periods, resulting in significantly more new bone formation in group C at 8 and 12 weeks. The number of TRAP-positive cells in group C was maximum at 4 weeks. Conclusions These results suggest that the amount of submicron microporous structure and local BMP-2 administration accelerated both osteoclastic resorption of β-TCP and new bone formation, probably through a coupling-like phenomenon between resorption and new bone formation.

Osteogenesis of Adipose-Derived and Bone Marrow Stem Cells with Polycaprolactone/Tricalcium Phosphate and Three-Dimensional Printing Technology in a Dog Model of Maxillary Bone Defects. Polymers (Basel) 2017; 9:polym9090450.

Abstract
Bone graft material should possess sufficient porosity and permeability to allow integration with native tissue and vascular invasion, and must satisfy oxygen and nutrient transport demands. In this study, we have examined the use of three-dimensional (3D)-printed polycaprolactone/tricalcium phosphate (PCL/TCP) composite material in bone grafting, to estimate the scope of its potential application in bone surgery. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) are known to enhance osteointegration. We hypothesized that a patient-specific 3D-printed solid scaffold could help preserve seeded ADSCs and BMSCs and enhance osteointegration. Diffuse osteogenic tissue formation was observed by micro-computed tomography with both stem cell types, and the ADSC group displayed similar osteogenesis compared to the BMSC group. In histological assessment, the scaffold pores showed abundant ossification in both groups. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that the BMSC group had higher expression of genes associated with ossification, and this was confirmed by Western blot analysis. The ADSC- and BMSC-seeded 3D-printed PCL/TCP scaffolds displayed promising enhancement of osteogenesis in a dog model of maxillary bone defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to characterize the healing in rabbit calvarial bone defects after delivery of limited-dose (1.5 μg) Escherichia coli-derived recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (ErhBMP-2), and evaluate biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) as a carrier. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four 8-mm diameter circular calvarial bone defects were made in 16 rabbits and filled with one of the following: (1) nothing, (2) BCP alone, (3) ErhBMP-2-loaded absorbable collagen sponge (ACS), or (4) ErhBMP-2-loaded BCP. The animals were allowed to heal for either 2 or 8 weeks and were evaluated in clinical, microcomputed tomographic, histological, and histomorphometric analyses. RESULTS Microcomputed tomography revealed extensive new bone formation in both of the limited-dose ErhBMP-2-loaded groups. However, bony collapse of the upper defect borders was found in the ErhBMP-2-loaded ACS group. Histomorphometric examination revealed significantly greater new bone formation at 8 weeks than at 2 weeks in all 4 groups (P < 0.05). Both new bone formation and the size of the augmented area differed significantly between the ErhBMP-2-loaded BCP group (6.88 ± 0.74 and 19.62 ± 0.77) and the ErhBMP-2-loaded ACS group (3.04 ± 0.27 and 5.41 ± 0.43) at 8 weeks of healing. CONCLUSION ErhBMP-2 promotes bone regeneration in rabbit calvarial defects, even at a limited dose (1.5 μg). The results of this study suggest that BCP is the more efficient carrier for this protein than ACS.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) comprises a gel of numerous biopolymers that occurs in a multitude of biological tissues. The ECM provides the basic support and mechanical strength of skeletal tissue and is responsible for shape retention. At the same time, the ECM is responsible for the viscoelastic properties and the elasticity of soft tissues. As expected, there are several important diseases that affect and degenerate the ECM with severe consequences for its properties. Bioengineering is a promising approach to support the regenerative capacity of the body. Unfortunately, the biomechanical properties of bioengineered ECM often only poorly meet the standards of their native counterparts. Many bioengineered tissues are characterized by an increased glycosaminoglycan (GAG) but decreased collagen content. This leads to an enhanced water content that strongly alters the viscoelastic and thus the biomechanical properties. Therefore, compositional analysis is important to estimate the tissue quality. We will show that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and soft-ionization mass spectrometry (MS) represent useful techniques for ECM research both in natural and bioengineered tissues. Both methods are strongly complimentary: while MS techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization (MALDI) are excellent and very sensitive analytical tools to determine the collagen and the GAG contents of tissues, NMR spectroscopy provides insight into the molecular architecture of the ECM, its dynamics and other important parameters such as the water content of the tissue as well as the diffusion of molecules within the ECM.

Abstract
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) requires carriers for clinical effectiveness. In this study, whether porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)-based ceramics are ideal carriers for rhBMP-2 was investigated. Hydroxyapatite (HA), β-TCP, TCP/HA (80 %/20 %), HA with rhBMP-2, TCP with rhBMP-2, and TCP/HA (80 %/20 %) with rhBMP-2 were manufactured by a sponge method with a pore size of 300 μm or more and macro-porosity of 83 %. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and ALP expression of the cells with 100 % β-TCP granules were more increased than the those of cells with 100 % HA and TCP/HA (80 %/20 %) at the baseline or when treated with 15 ng/ml of rhBMP-2. In an SD rat calvarial defect model, new bone formation was evidently shown in the TCP 100 %-rhBMP-2 and TCP/HA (80 %/20 %)-rhBMP-2 groups, showing that the most affected area was filled with newly-formed bone, that the percent bone volume and trabecular number were larger when compared to the groups without rhBMP-2 treatment at both 4 and 8 weeks after surgery using micro-CT and histology. Porous TCP-based ceramic granules enhanced the osteoblastic differentiation in the hMSC system when treated with 15 ng/ml of rhBMP-2 and accelerated bone-healing by trabecular number in a rat calvarial defect model. Thus, in this study it was proposed that TCP-based ceramics might be useful carriers of rhBMP-2.

Abstract
Presently, bioceramic materials have been extensively used in spinal surgery as bone grafts; however, there are some limitations for bioceramic materials. Calcium sulfate is rapidly absorbed in vivo, the degradation of which often occurs prior to the formation of new bones. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is hardly absorbed, which blocks the formation of new bones and remodeling, and results in poor local stability or permanent stress concentration. Only β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is relatively balanced between scaffold absorption and bone formation. And it is a good biodegradable ceramic material that could supply a large quantity of calcium ion and sulfate ion as well as scaffold structure for bone regeneration. However, the problem of single β-TCP is lack of osteoinductivity and osteogenicity, which restricts its application. Therefore β-TCP composite materials have been used in the field of orthopaedics in recent decades, which fully use excellent properties of other bone repairing materials, such as biodegradability, osteoinductivity, osteogenicity and osteoconductivity. These materials make up for the deficiencies of single β-TCP and endow β-TCP with more biological and physical properties.

Abstract
The controlled delivery of growth factors and cells within biomaterial carriers can enhance and accelerate functional bone formation. The carrier system can be designed with pre-programmed release kinetics to deliver bioactive molecules in a localized, spatiotemporal manner most similar to the natural wound healing process. The carrier can also act as an extracellular matrix-mimicking substrate for promoting osteoprogenitor cellular infiltration and proliferation for integrative tissue repair. This review discusses the role of various regenerative factors involved in bone healing and their appropriate combinations with different delivery systems for augmenting bone regeneration. The general requirements of protein, cell and gene therapy are described, with elaboration on how the selection of materials, configurations and processing affects growth factor and cell delivery and regenerative efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo applications for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Growth factors (GFs) such as BMPs, FGFs, VEGFs and IGFs have significant impacts on osteoblast behavior, and thus have been widely utilized for bone tissue regeneration. Recently, securing biological stability for a sustainable and controllable release to the target tissue has been a challenge to practical applications. This challenge has been addressed to some degree with the development of appropriate carrier materials and delivery systems. This review highlights the importance and roles of those GFs, as well as their proper administration for targeting bone regeneration. Additionally, the in vitro and in vivo performance of those GFs with or without the use of carrier systems in the repair and regeneration of bone tissue is systematically addressed. Moreover, some recent advances in the utility of the GFs, such as using fusion technology, are also reviewed.

Abstract
A combination of solid-state NMR spectroscopy and MRI was used to evaluate the formation of extracellular matrix in poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) bone implants. Porous PLGA scaffolds were implanted into rat tibiae and analysed after 2, 4 or 8 weeks. MRI clearly delineated the implants within the cancellous bone. Differences in the trabecular structure of the implanted material and native bone were demonstrated. In addition, implants were analyzed by solid-state NMR spectroscopy under magic angle spinning. (13)C NMR spectra showed the unambiguous signature of collagen formed in the scaffolds, but also the characteristic signals of the PLGA matrix, indicating that resorption was not complete after 8 weeks. Furthermore, (31)P NMR spectroscopy detected the inorganic component of the matrix, which is composed of bioapatite. (31)P NMR spectra were quantified and this analysis revealed that the amount of inorganic extracellular matrix formed de novo was significantly lower than in native bone. This demonstrates that solid-state NMR spectroscopy, in particular in combination with MRI, can provide useful information on the composition and structure of the extracellular matrix, and serve as a tool to evaluate the quality of tissue engineering strategies.

Abstract
This review summarises the major developments of macroporous bioceramics used mainly for repairing bone defects. Porous bioceramics have been receiving attention ever since their larger surface area was reported to be beneficial for the formation of more rigid bonds with host tissues. The study of porous bioceramics is important to overcome the less favourable bonds formed between dense bioceramics and host tissues, especially in healing bone defects. Macroporous bioceramics, which have been studied extensively, include hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, alumina, and zirconia. The pore size and interconnections both have significant effects on the growth rate of bone tissues. The optimum pore size of hydroxyapatite scaffolds for bone growth was found to be 300 µm. The existence of interconnections between pores is critical during the initial stage of tissue ingrowth on porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. Furthermore, pore formation on β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds also allowed the impregnation of growth factors and cells to improve bone tissues growth significantly. The formation of vascularised tissues was observed on macroporous alumina but did not take place in the case of dense alumina due to its bioinert nature. A macroporous alumina coating on scaffolds was able to improve the overall mechanical properties, and it enabled the impregnation of bioactive materials that could increase the bone growth rate. Despite the bioinertness of zirconia, porous zirconia was useful in designing scaffolds with superior mechanical properties after being coated with bioactive materials. The pores in zirconia were believed to improve the bone growth on the coated system. In summary, although the formation of pores in bioceramics may adversely affect mechanical properties, the advantages provided by the pores are crucial in repairing bone defects.

Abstract
Macroporous beta tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) scaffolds were evaluated as potential carriers and delivery systems for bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). Chemical etching was performed to increase the available surface and thus the protein loading. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrocopy analyses confirmed the preparation of pure beta-TCP scaffolds. Scanning electron microscopy revealed interconnected porosity (64%) and a microporous surface after chemical etching. Scaffolds loaded with 30 and 15 microg of BMP-2 were implanted respectively into the back muscles and into femoral defects (condyle and diaphysis) of rabbits for 4 weeks. Histological observations confirmed the activity of the BMP-2 released from the scaffolds. Intramuscularly, bone was formed within the BMP-2-loaded scaffold pores. In the bone defects, the effect of released BMP-2 was similarly noticeable, as evaluated by histomorphometry. The incorporation of BMP-2 resulted in an amount of newly formed bone that was 1.3 times higher than with unloaded scaffolds. The implant site, however, did not have an effect on bone formation as no statistical differences were measured between cortical (diaphysis) and trabecular (condyle) defects. These results indicate the suitability of chemically etched beta-TCP scaffolds as BMP-2 carriers, in the context of bone regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECT This study was designed to evaluate the bone regeneration potential of the dura mater and dura mater substitute (Durepair) in the presence of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) delivered in a collagen sponge-collagen-ceramic matrix (CCM; MasterGraft Matrix) in a large skull defect in growing canines. METHODS Forty immature male beagles were used to create two 2.5 x 4-cm cranial defects on each side of the sagittal suture. The dura mater on the left side was cut to make a 1 x 3-cm defect and replaced with bovine skin collagen (Durepair). The dura mater on the right side remained intact. Different doses of rhBMP-2 (none [8 animals], 0.11 mg/ml [4 animals], 0.21 mg/ml [4 animals], and 0.43 mg/ml [8 animals]) were infused on 2 Type I bovine absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) strips. The strips were layered with the CCM (15% hydroxyapatite [HA]/85% tricalcium phosphate [TCP]) to reconstruct both cranial defects. In a fifth group (8 animals), 0.43 mg/ml rhBMP-2 was directly infused into the CCM. Demineralized canine cancellous freeze-dried demineralized bone matrix (DBM; 8 animals) was used as a control in a sixth group. All materials were fixed under 2 resorbable protective sheets (MacroPore). Skulls were resected 16 weeks after operation. Histological and histomorphometric analyses on the percentage of the defect spanned by bone, and the percentage of residual HA-TCP granules and collagen were analyzed. RESULTS Calcified seroma was the only complication observed and only occurred in the 0.43-mg/ml rhBMP-2 groups (Groups 4 and 5). Dura mater repair appeared complete at 4 months in all animals. New bone was formed sporadically throughout the skull defect in the ACS+CCM and DBM groups without rhBMP-2. In all rhBMP-2 groups, mature new bone (compact and trabecular) was uniformly formed across the defect on both the repaired and intact dura mater sides. There was significant new compact bone formation on top of the repaired dura mater, which did not appear in the ACS+CCM and DBM groups lacking rhBMP-2. Greater HA-TCP and collagen scaffold resorption was noted in rhBMP-2 groups compared with non-rhBMP-2 groups. Statistical analysis showed there was a significantly lower percentage of bone spanning the defect in the ACS+CCM group compared with groups with rhBMP-2, with more residual HA-TCP and collagen on the repaired dura mater side than the intact dura mater side (p < 0.05). In all rhBMP-2 groups, there were no significant differences in new bone formation between the repaired and intact dura mater sides (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The ACS+CCM combination had an effect similar to demineralized bone-on-bone regeneration in craniofacial reconstruction. The addition of rhBMP-2 to CCM directly or with ACS induces mature new bone formation in large cranial defects both in the presence of intact dura mater and repaired dura mater.

Abstract
The present investigation was performed to study the bioactivity of osteoinductive and osteoproliferative growth factors after release from biocompatible bone implants. Three types of porous carriers were used in this study: hydroxyapatite, alpha tricalcium phosphate, and a neutralized glass ceramic. Implants were loaded with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rh-BMP-2) and recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rh-bFGF) in a concentration of 2 microg/150 microL PBS each. The released growth factors were then applicated into SAOS-2-cell cultures. After 3, 5, and 7 days cell differentiation was measured by the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), cell proliferation by using a MTT assay as well as a cell counter. Rh-BMP-2 released during the first hour from the scaffolds led to a significant increase of the activity of ALP in the incubated SAOS-2-cell culture after 3, 5, and 7 days. However, the incubation with rh-BMP-2 released after 24 h was not found to increase the expression of ALP. The incubation of cell cultures with rh-bFGF released during the first hour led to a significant increase of cell number and of extinction in the MTT assay, whereas this increase was not observed after incubation with rh-bFGF released after 24 h. The in vitro measured biological activity of released growth factors from the surface of synthetic implants is time-depending. If prolonged osteoinductive and osteoproliferative potency of growth factors is desired, a modified application technique should be chosen to stabilize those proteins.

Abstract
The present study investigated whether bone regeneration and biomaterial replacement would be improved by loading of biogenous biphasic biomaterial scaffolds (HA/TCP ratio 30/70) with rhBMP-2, and whether the placement of three barrier membranes differing in structure and porosity (prototyped SLA Ti specimens, GORE RESOLUT Adapt specimens, and titanized TiMESH light specimens) would have a synergistic effect. A rabbit calvarial model was used for the implantation studies. Histological specimens were obtained after 12 weeks and evaluated quantitatively for differences between the various material combinations. Loading of the biomaterials with rhBMP-2 significantly enhanced the amount of regenerated bone and caused a pronounced biomaterial replacement. While BMP-induced bone had formed uniformly over the surgical defects, bone regeneration in the absence of BMP depends on bone promotion from the margins of the defects toward the center. No positive effect on bone regeneration was seen for any of the placed barrier membranes. While the present study had shown that rhBMP-2 loading significantly increases bone regeneration using the investigated biomaterial, barrier-membrane placement may be useful in predetermining the final shape of the regenerative site but provides no additional beneficial impact on the amount and quality of the bone regeneration induced by rhBMP-2.

Abstract
Injuries and other damage to large bone can result in defects that do not heal spontaneously and lead to severe functional impairment. Better therapies are greatly needed to address this worldwide problem. The objective of the present study was to determine whether adenoviral delivery of modified human BMP2 gene (AdBMP2) using beta tricalcium phosphate (ss-TCP) as a carrier could promote osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and ectopic bone formation. Rabbit BMSCs were separated from tibia aspirates and expanded in vitro. The BMSCs were then infected with AdBMP-2. Expression of BMP2, alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, osteonectin, osteopontin, and mineralization of the cells confirmed secretion of active BMP2. Cells were observed to differentiate and maintain the osteoblast phenotype. For additional in vivo experiments, subcutaneous pockets were created on the backs of nude mice, which were then implanted with AdBMP2-BMSCs/ss-TCP, Adbetagal-BMSCs/ss-TCP, BMSCs/ss-TCP, or ss-TCP alone. The nude mice were sacrificed after 4 weeks for histological evaluation. Adbetagal-BMSCs/ss-TCP, BMSCs/ss-TCP, and ss-TCP did not show bone formation, although extensive fibrous tissue formed in the subcutaneous space in the rats implanted with ss-TCP. However, new bone tissue formation was observed on the inner walls of the pores of the ss-TCP-treated animals, and ectopic bone formation (mainly ''cartilage-bone inducing'') was observed in the AdBMP2-BMSCs/ss-TCP composite. These results confirmed the osteogenic potential of BMSCs after AdBMP2 transduction and revealed that AdBMP2-BMSC/ss-TCP composites could provide the capacity for bone formation and maturation during the more advanced stages of healing.

Abstract
The Advanced JAX Bone Void Filler System (AJBVFS) is a novel bone graft material manufactured by Smith and Nephew Orthopaedics Ltd. and comprises beta tri-calcium phosphate granules with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel as a handling agent. This study investigated the potential, in vitro, of the AJBVFS to function as a delivery system for cell therapy to enhance healing of bone defects. The attachment of rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (rbBMSCs), human BMSCs (hBMSCs) and human bone-derived cells (hBDCs) to JAX granules and the effect of CMC gel on cell proliferation and differentiation were investigated. There were slight species differences in the number and morphology of cells attached on the JAX granules with less rbBMSC attachment than human. All cells tolerated the presence of CMC gel and a reduction in cell number was only seen after longer exposure to higher gel concentrations. Low concentrations of CMC gel enhanced proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression and ALP activity in human cells but had no effect on rbBMSC. This study suggests that AJBVFS is an appropriate scaffold for the delivery of osteogenic cells and the addition of CMC gel as a handling agent promotes osteogenic proliferation and differentiation and is therefore likely to encourage bone healing.

Abstract
Before in vivo micro-CT scanning can be used to investigate femoral trabecular microarchitecture over time in rabbits, its repeatability and reproducibility must be demonstrated. To accomplish this, both distal femurs of two 6-month-old New Zealand white rabbits were scanned five times each in 1 day under different conditions (repeatability). Scanning was done at 28 microm isotropic voxel size to produce five image stacks of each femur. Three operators then followed a standard image processing protocol (reproducibility) to isolate two separate cubes from each anterior femoral condyle [total n = (8 cube sites)(5 scans)(3 operators) = 120]. Bone volume fraction (BV/TV) of the eight different cube sites (sample) ranged from 0.408 to 0.501 (mean: 0.453); trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) ranged from 158.1 to 185.5 microm (mean: 168.6 microm); and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) ranged from 179.4 to 233.1 microm (mean: 204.7 microm). Using ANOVA and the variance component method, the total process variation was +/- 14.1% of the mean BV/TV of 0.453. The sample variation was +/- 13.9% (p < 0.001), the repeatability was +/- 2.1% (p < 0.001), and the reproducibility was +/- 0.1% (p > 0.05). Results were similar for Tb.Th and Tb.Sp. Though the contribution due to repeatability was statistically significant for each of the three indices, the natural sample differences were far greater than differences caused by repeated scanning under different conditions or by different operators processing the images. These findings suggest that in vivo micro-CT scanning of rabbit distal femurs was repeatable and reproducible and can be used with confidence to measure differences in trabecular bone microarchitecture at a single location in a longitudinal study design.

Abstract
Regeneration of bone and cartilage defects can be accelerated by localized delivery of appropriate growth factors incorporated within biodegradable carriers. The carrier essentially allows the impregnated growth factor to release at a desirable rate and concentration, and to linger at injury sites for a sufficient time to recruit progenitors and stimulate tissue healing processes. In addition, the carrier can be formulated to have particular structure to facilitate cellular infiltration and growth. In this review, we present a summary of growth factor delivery carrier systems for bone and cartilage tissue engineering. Firstly, we describe a list of growth factors implicated in repair and regeneration of bone and cartilage by addressing their biological effects at different stages of the healing process. General requirements for localized growth factor delivery carriers are then discussed. We also provide selective examples of material types (natural and synthetic polymers, inorganic materials, and their composites) and fabricated forms of the carrier (porous scaffolds, microparticles, and hydrogels), highlighting the dose-dependent efficacy, release kinetics, animal models, and restored tissue types. Extensive discussion on issues involving currently investigated carriers for bone and cartilage tissue engineering approaches may illustrate future paths toward the development of an ideal growth factor delivery system.

Abstract
We used (31)P and (13)C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to detect and analyze the major organic and inorganic components (collagen type I and bioapatite) in natural rabbit bone and beta-tricalcium phosphate implants loaded with osteogenically differentiated mesenchymal stem cells. High-resolution solid-state NMR spectra were obtained using the magic-angle spinning (MAS) technique. The (31)P NMR spectra of bone specimens showed a single line characteristic of bone calcium phosphate. (13)C cross-polarization (CP) MAS NMR spectra of bone exhibited the characteristic signatures of collagen type I with good resolution for all major amino acids in collagen. Quantitative measurements of (13)C-(1)H dipolar couplings indicated that the collagen segments are very rigid, undergoing only small amplitude fluctuations with correlation times in the nanosecond range. In contrast, directly polarized (13)C MAS NMR spectra of rabbit bone were dominated by signals of highly mobile triglycerides. These quantitative investigations of natural bone may provide the basis for a quality control of various osteoinductive bone substitutes. We studied the formation of extracellular bone matrix in artificial mesenchymal stem cell-loaded beta-tricalcium phosphate matrices that were implanted into the femoral condyle of rabbits. The NMR spectra of these bone grafts were acquired 3 months after implantation. In the (31)P NMR spectra, beta-tricalcium phosphate and bone calcium phosphate could be distinguished quantitatively, allowing recording of the formation of the natural bone matrix. Further, (13)C CPMAS allowed detection of collagen type I that had been produced in the implants. Comparison with the spectroscopic data from natural bone allowed assessment of the quality of the bone substitute material.

Abstract
Currently, available synthetic bone substitutes have adequate osteoconductive properties but have little or no osteoinductivity. Recent research has focused on using osteogenic growth factors or cells to provide this. JAX is a beta tricalcium phosphate bone graft substitute that has a novel shape and interlocking design. This study investigated delivery methods and the use of autologous cell therapy to enhance healing of a bone defect using JAX as a scaffold. Bone marrow was harvested from 24 New Zealand White rabbits. The mononuclear cell fraction was isolated and culture expanded. Bilateral 1.5 cm defects in the ulna were filled with: Group 1: JAX alone, Group 2: JAX plus 1x10(7) autologous BMSCs injected at the time of surgery, Group 3: JAX plus 8x10(6) autologous BMSCs cultured on granules for 14 days prior to surgery, Group 4: JAX plus fresh bone marrow (BMA), Group 5: cortical autograft, Group 6: JAX plus 2.5 microg VEGF. Radiographs demonstrated that there was more new bone in the BMA and VEGF groups compared to JAX alone. Groups containing autologous BMSCs were only slightly better than JAX alone in the amount of bone in the defect but did improve bridging of the osteotomy. Histomorphometry identified a significant increase in bone volume in the BMA group compared to JAX alone. BMA and VEGF enhanced healing of bone defects whereas expanded BMSCs provided little advantage over scaffold alone. There was no difference between delivery methods of autologous BMSCs. These observations suggest that the provision of osteogenic cells alone is insufficient to enhance bone healing and that additional factors are required to initiate this process in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bony defects caused by periodontitis are often treated by regenerative therapy using autografts and/or allografts. Alloplasts, such as hydroxyapatite or ceramics, are also used as osteoconductive materials that serve as a scaffold for new bony ingrowth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hydroxyapatite tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) on osseous repair in the rat calvarium. METHODS Forty-four adult male Harlan Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of four treatment groups: HA-TCP macroporous disk, HA-TCP microporous disk, HA-TCP granules, and demineralized freeze-dried bone (DFDB). The materials were placed into 8-mm calvarial critical-size defects (CSD). Calvariae were harvested at 10 weeks post-surgery and evaluated histomorphometrically. RESULTS The DFDB group had significantly (P <0.05) more new bone formation (47%) than any other group. The HA-TCP macroporous disk group had significantly (P <0.05) more new bone formation (19.7%) than the HA-TCP microporous disk (8.5%) or HA-TCP granule (6.9%) groups. CONCLUSIONS The HA-TCP macroporous disk may elicit significant new bone formation due to its rigid space-maintaining scaffold and pore size for vascular ingrowth. It is well tolerated by host tissues and may be a suitable carrier for growth factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Beta tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) has been developed as one of the carriers of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP). However, it is not known whether the particle size of beta-TCP is related to its resorption rate and the degree of bone formation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of using beta-TCP with different particle sizes on the ability of rhBMP-4 to enhance bone formation in the rat calvarial defect model. METHODS Calvarial, 8-mm-diameter, critical-size defects were created in 100 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Five groups of 20 animals each received either rhBMP-4 (2.5 microg) using beta-TCP with a particle size of 50 to 150 microm, rhBMP-4 (2.5 microg) using beta-TCP with a particle size of 150 to 500 microm, a beta-TCP control with a particle size of 50 to 150 microm, a beta-TCP control with a particle size of 150 to 500 microm, or a sham-surgery control, respectively, and were evaluated by measuring their histologic and histometric parameters following a 2- and 8-week healing interval. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the defect closure, new bone area, or augmented area between either the two rhBMP-4/beta-TCP groups or between the two beta-TCP control groups at 2 and 8 weeks. CONCLUSIONS rhBMP-4 combined with either small- or large-particle beta-TCP had a significant effect on the induction of bone formation compared to either a small- or large-particle beta-TCP control or a sham-surgery control. Within the parameters of this study, varying the particle size of beta-TCP did not seem to have a significant effect on bone formation.

Abstract
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 in a block copolymer composed of poly-D,L-lactic acid with randomly inserted p-dioxanone and polyethylene glycol (PLA-DX-PEG) as a carrier and porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) blocks were used to generate a new fully absorbable osteogenic biomaterial. The bone regenerability of the rhBMP-2/PLA-DX-PEG/beta-TCP composite was studied in a critical-sized rabbit bone defect model. In an initial study, a composite of PLA-DX-PEG (250 mg) and beta-TCP (300 mg) loaded with or without rhBMP2 (50 microg) was implanted into a 1.5 cm intercalated bone defect created in a rabbit femur. Defects were assessed by biweekly radiography until 8 weeks postoperatively. The bony union of the defect was recognized only in the BMP-loaded group. To obtain further data on biomechanical and remodeling properties, another BMP-loaded composites group was made and observed up to 24 weeks. All defects were completely repaired without residual traces of implants. Anatomical and mechanical properties of the repaired bone examined by histology, 3-dimensional CT (3D-CT) and mechanical testing were essentially equivalent to the nonoperated-on femur at 24 weeks. These experimental results indicate that fully absorbable rhBMP-2/PLA-DX-PEG/beta-TCP is a promising composite having osteogenicity efficient enough for repairing large bone defects.

Abstract
Carriers for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are used to increase retention of these factors at orthopedic treatment sites for a sufficient period of time to allow regenerative tissue forming cells to migrate to the area of injury and to proliferate and differentiate. Carriers can also serve as a matrix for cell infiltration while maintaining the volume in which repair tissue can form. Carriers have to be biocompatible and are often required to be bioresorbable. Carriers also have to be easily, and cost-effectively, manufactured for large-scale production, conveniently sterilized and have appropriate storage requirements and stability. All of these processes have to be approvable by regulatory agencies. The four major categories of BMP carrier materials include natural polymers, inorganic materials, synthetic polymers, composites of these materials. Autograft or allograft carriers have also used. Carrier configurations range from simple depot delivery systems to more complex systems mimicking the extracellular matrix structure and function. Bone regenerative carriers include depot delivery systems for fracture repair, three-dimensional polymer or ceramic composites for segmental repairs and spine fusion and metal or metal/ceramic composites for augmenting implant integration. Tendon/ligament regenerative carriers range from depot delivery systems to three-dimensional carriers that are either randomly oriented or linearly oriented to improve regenerative tissue alignment. Cartilage regenerative systems generally require three-dimensional matrices and often incorporate cells in addition to factors to augment the repair. Alternative BMP delivery systems include viral vectors, genetically altered cells, conjugated factors and small molecules.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are osteoinductive proteins used intensively in clinical investigations involving various bone-related treatments. Owing to their high potential in new bone formation they require local application at the treatment site. For this purpose various controlled delivery systems with BMPs as the excipients have been prepared in recent years. Focusing on this clinical need a disc-shaped BMP carrier was designed as a local delivery system using soluble collagen and chondroitin sulfate. In situ release studies carried out with a model protein (FITC-labeled Protein A) presented a very high rate of release; with most of the protein content being released within 24 h. This rate could be decreased by providing a poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and sucrose acetate isobutyrate-based (SAIB-based) coat around the release system, applied after BMP loading. In this way, it was possible to extend the release period from 24 h to about 12 days. In situ release of BMP from the same carriers, as quantitated using an ELISA kit, was even slower, with 50% of the protein being released in 15 days. In order to be able to secure the BMP delivery system at the bone defect site and to provide support a mesh knitted using Vicryl sutures and bonded with poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) was tested in in vivo. Two time periods, 1 and 3 weeks, were used to evaluate the healing process. Osteoinduction by the BMP carrier system was assessed by histology-based bone scoring and X-ray examinations. PLLA-SAIB-coated collagen discs containing BMP presented good biocompatibility and optimum osteogenic stimulation. Structural changes in histological micrographs at week 1 indicated dose-dependent periosteal ossification. At the end of week 3 histological findings with both BMP (1 and 2 microg) doses were almost the same.

Abstract
A new type of degradable biomaterial with bone-inducing capacity was made by combining porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) with a delivery system for recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). The BMP delivery system consisted of a block copolymer composed of poly-D,L-lactic acid with random insertion of p-dioxanone and polyethylene glycol (PLA-DX-PEG), a known biocompatible and biodegradable material. The efficacy of this biomaterial in terms of its bone-inducing capacity was examined by ectopic bone formation in the dorsal muscles of the mouse. In the beta-TCP implants coated with the PLA-DX-PEG polymer containing more than 0.0025% (w/w) of rhBMP-2, new ectopic bone tissues with marrow were consistently found on the surface of implants. The radiographic density of beta-TCP was diminished in a time-dependent manner. On histological examination, numerous multinucleated osteoclasts with positive tartrate-resistant acid-phosphatase (TRAP) staining were noted on the surface of the beta-TCP. These experimental results indicate that beta-TCP implants coated with synthetic rhBMP-2 delivery system might provide effective artificial bone-graft substitutes with osteoinductive capacity and biodegradable properties. In addition, this type of biomaterial may require less rhBMP-2 to induce significant new bone mass.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are being evaluated for periodontal and bone regenerative therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-4 (rhBMP-4) dose on local bone formation in a rat calvaria defect model. METHODS Calvarial, 8 mm diameter, critical-size osteotomy defects were created in 140 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Seven groups of 20 animals each received either 1) rhBMP-4 (2.5 microg) in an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) carrier, 2) rhBMP-4 (5 microg)/ACS, 3) rhBMP-4 (2.5 microg) in a beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) carrier, 4) rhBMP-4 (5 microg)/beta-TCP, 5) ACS or 6) beta-TCP carrier controls, or 7) a sham-surgery control, and were evaluated by histologic and histometric parameters following a 2- or 8-week healing interval (10 animals/group/healing interval). RESULTS Surgical implantation of rhBMP-4/ACS and rhBMP-4/beta-TCP resulted in enhanced local bone formation at both 2 and 8 weeks. Within the dose range examined, rhBMP-4 did not exhibit an appreciable dose-dependent response. Defect closure was not significantly different between the rhBMP-4/ACS and rhBMP-4/beta-TCP groups. New bone area of the rhBMP-4/ beta-TCP group was significantly greater than that of the rhBMP-4/ ACS group; however, bone density in the rhBMP-4/ACS group was significantly greater than that in the rhBMP-4/beta-TCP group at 8 weeks (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS rhBMP-4 combined with ACS or beta-TCP has a significant potential to induce bone formation in the rat calvaria defect model. Within the selected rhBMP-4 dose range and observation interval, there appeared to be no meaningful differences in bone formation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) require carrier material for slow release and framing material for osteoconduction. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effect of a frame on early bone formation induced by partially purified native reindeer BMP in composite implants containing 3 mg of BMP, type IV collagen and tricalcium phosphate (TCP/Col/BMP) or hydroxyapatite (HA/Col/BMP) or biphasic tricalcium phosphate-hydroxyapatite (TCP/HA/Col/BMP) or biocoral (NC/Col/BMP) was evaluated using a mouse hind leg muscle pouch model. Collagen with native reindeer BMP (Col/BMP) and corresponding implants without native reindeer BMP served as controls. Evaluation was done by incorporation of 45Ca, radiographically and histologically 3 weeks after the implantation. RESULTS None of the implants without native reindeer BMP were able to induce new bone visible on radiographs. The area of new bone formation in the Col/BMP (p=0.026) and TCP/HA/Col/BMP (p=0.012) groups was significantly greater than in the TCP/Col/BMP group. The optical density of the new bone area was significantly greater in the TCP/HA/Col/BMP group than in the TCP/Col/BMP (p=0.036) or Col/BMP (p=0.02) groups. 45Ca incorporation was many times greater in all the groups containing native reindeer BMP than in the corresponding groups without BMP. In the Col/BMP (p=0.046) and TCP/HA/Col/BMP (p=0.046) groups, 45Ca incorporation was significantly greater than in the TCP/Col/BMP group. No significant differences were found in any parameters between HA/Col/BMP and NC/Col/BMP groups and the other BMP-containing groups. CONCLUSIONS Hydroxyapatite, biocoral and biphasic tricalciumphosphate-hydroxyapatite are equally good as framing material for native reindeer BMP, while tricalciumphosphate is somewhat worse. Osteoinduction of native reindeer BMP works well with collagen alone.

Abstract
As BMPs, proteínas indutoras de crescimento ósseo, desde o início de sua utilização, têm sido avaliadas em diferentes modelos experimentais objetivando determinar sua eficácia, sendo necessário o estabelecimento de métodos de avaliação que permitam melhor compreensão dos resultados. OBJETIVO: Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a utilização da densitometria óssea como método de avaliação do incremento ósseo observado quando da utilização de BMP bovina em artrodeses intertransversas da coluna lombar de coelhos. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizados dois grupos de dez coelhos neozelandeses fêmeas, submetidos a artrodese intertransversa da coluna lombar, segmento L5/L6, por via posterior. No primeiro grupo foi utilizado enxerto homólogo e no segundo a associação de enxerto homólogo com biocomposto (BMP bovino, 1,0 mg e hidroxiapatita, 9,0 mg). Os animais foram acompanhados por 15 semanas, isolados em cativeiro e avaliados diariamente por veterinário sob o ponto de vista clínico e neurológico e, posteriormente, submetidos à realização de densitometria óssea por tomografia computadorizada. RESULTADOS: Foram obtidas 268 medidas de densidade óssea do osso normal, 134 medidas do osso neoformado de enxerto homólogo isolado e 134 medidas do osso neoformado pela associação enxerto homólogo e BMP. Esses valores foram submetidos à análise estatística que demonstrou incremento ósseo significativo (p=0,034) do grupo BMP/HAP, quando comparado ao grupo controle. Os valores de densidade óssea do osso normal foram submetidos à mesma análise estatística onde se encontrou resultado semelhante. CONCLUSÃO: A densitometria óssea realizada pela tomografia computadorizada apresenta-se como método alternativo para avaliação de resultados quando utilizado BMP em estudos experimentais. Estudos subseqüentes deverão ser realizados para melhor entendimento da variação de densidade óssea encontrada quando da comparação das medidas do osso normal nos dois grupos.

Abstract
An ideal substitute for bone graft is autobone tissue, of which there is an ample supply of the required form and with vascularity. Our strategy is to generate intramuscular autogenous bone by administering recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) with beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) as a carrier, and to transplant this bone as a muscle-pedicled autograft. However, in a previous study (Jingushi et al., J. Orthop. Sci. 7, 490, 2002), bone resorption occurred early after bone induction. This study was conducted to determine whether rhBMP-2-induced bone tissue could be maintained by simultaneous administration of bisphosphonate, and to investigate whether the induced bone could be used for bone grafting. In this study, we first applied rhBMP-2 alone to a beta-TCP disk and inoculated it into rat quadriceps muscle. Bone area and the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cells in the induced bone disk peaked at 2 weeks, and induced bone resorption occurred later. Bisphosphonate and rhBMP-2 were then simultaneously applied to a beta-TCP disk and inoculated as in the first experiment. The addition of bisphosphonate decreased the number of TRAP-positive cells and increased the bone area and compression strength at 4 weeks. In the last experiment, a rhBMP-2 applied beta-TCP disk treated with or without bisphosphonate was free-grafted to parietal bone 4 weeks after inoculation. Both bone disks united similarly. We concluded that the concurrent use of bisphosphonate prevented bone absorption attributed to osteoclast activity after bone induction by rhBMP-2. The bisphosphonate application did not disturb the union of induced bone to host bone.

Abstract
To evaluate in vivo performance of hydroxyapatite cement (HAC) as a porous bone graft substitute, HAC was mixed (1:1 ratio) with either porous calcium-phosphate granules (80% tricalcium phosphate, 20% hydroxyapatite) or defatted morsellized cancellous bone (MCB) allograft and implanted bilaterally in cylindrical drill holes in distal femurs of rabbits. Groups with empty defects and impacted MCB were used for reference. After 8 weeks, one femur from each pair was examined histologically. All contralateral specimens and Time-0 specimens were used for mechanical indentation tests. Histology showed that some empty defects were filled with newly formed osteopenic bone after 8 weeks. The impacted MCB showed remodeling into new vital bone. Incorporation of the HAC/MCB composite was incomplete, whereas minimal new bone ingrowth was found in the HAC/granule composites. Though not different from each other, both composites were significantly stronger than empty defects, incorporated impacted MCB, and intact cancellous bone. At Time 0, the mechanical behavior of impacted MCB was similar to both HAC composites. In conclusion, composites of HAC and porous biomaterials can maintain relatively high strength over 8 weeks in vivo, but their incorporation into a new bony structure is slower than impacted MCB. The HAC/MCB composite showed favorable incorporation behavior.

Abstract
A bovine serum albumin protein-containing calcium phosphate coating (BSA/brushite) was prepared by electrochemically assisted co-precipitation onto a hydroxyapatite (HA) coated Ti-6Al-4V surface. Electrochemically assisted co-precipitation of BSA/brushite coatings onto HA resulted in a 70-fold increase in BSA inclusion compared to simple adsorption, and was subsequently released by a slower mechanism (15% loss over 70 h). Thus, this electrochemically assisted co-precipitation technique provides an efficient method of protein incorporation at physiological temperature, with a potential for sustained release of therapeutic agents as may be required for metallic implant fixation.

Abstract
Beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was examined as a substitute for autograft for packing into interbody fusion cages in the canine lumbar spine model. Discectomy and interbody cage fusion were performed at three disc spaces in eight dogs. Examination of microradiographs and histological sections of the lumbar spine at 16 weeks postsurgery revealed three fusions in the autograft cages (Group A), three in the beta-TCP cages (Group B), and five in the beta-TCP-BMP-2 cages (Group C). The mean percentage of trabecular bone area in the cages was 51.9% in Group A, 48.8% in Group B, and 65.6% in Group C. Mean percentage of trabecular bone formation and mechanical stiffness were highest in the cages filled with beta-TCP and BMP-2. Combination of BMP to beta-TCP may act as an osteoconductive and osteoinductive bone graft substitute in clinical spine surgery.

Abstract
Currently available synthetic bone substitutes perform poorly compared to autograft. It is hoped that by adding osteogenic growth factors to the materials, new bone formation could be increased and the clinical outcome improved. In this study, IGF-1, bFGF and TGFbeta1, alone and in combination, were absorbed onto a carrier of beta-tricalcium phosphate (betaTCP) and implanted into a defect around a hydroxyapatite-coated, stainless steel implant in the proximal tibia of rat in a model of revision arthroplasty. Animals were sacrificed at 6 and 26 weeks for routine histology and histomorphometry and mechanical push out tests. The results show that only bFGF had a significant effect on ceramic resorption. The groups that received bFGF and bFGF in combination with TGFbeta1 had smaller and fewer betaTCP particles remaining in the defect at 6 and 26 weeks. No growth factor combination significantly enhanced new bone formation or the mechanical strength of the implant. These results indicate that, of the growth factors tested, only bFGF had any beneficial effect on the host response to the implant, perhaps by delaying osteoblast differentiation and thereby prolonging osteoclast access to the ceramic.

Abstract
To evaluate the osteoinductive effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 during the early stages of rat ectopic bone formation, we prepared two distinct carriers. Two carriers, insoluble bone matrix (IBM) and fibrous glass membrane (FGM) were combined with rhBMP-2 and implanted into the backs of rats to evaluate the osteoinductive effects of the two rhBMP-2 carrier systems. Insoluble bone matrix particle size was 320 to 620 microm. Fibrous glass membrane was constructed from unwoven glass fibers 1 microm in diameter. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and type II collagen were detected in IBM/rhBMP-2 at 5 days postimplantation. Calcium (Ca) was also detected in IBM/rhBMP-2 at 7 and 9 days postimplantation. In contrast, ALP and type II collagen were detected in FGM/rhBMP-2 at 7 days. Calcium was undetected, indicating that the bone formation in IBM/rhBMP-2 proceeded faster than in FGM/rhBMP-2 during the early stage of BMP-induced osteogenesis. In addition, mRNA expression level of KDR, a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor, was also increased in IBM/rhBMP-2. To investigate the in vivo release profile of rhBMP-2, iodine 125 ((125)I)-labeled BMP-2-incorporating IBM and FGM implants were inserted into the back subcutis of mice. More than 60% of the rhBMP-2 was released from the IBM/rhBMP-2 carrier within 1 day after implantation, whereas 50% of the rhBMP-2 was released from the FGM/rhBMP-2 10 days postimplantation. These results indicated that osteo- and chondrogenesis depends highly upon the geometry of the carrier and the in situ retention of rhBMP-2 during the early stage of rhBMP-2 induced bone formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are being evaluated as candidates for periodontal and bone regenerative therapy. However, the research on recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-4 (rhBMP-4) has been insufficient to evaluate its capacity to enhance bone formation and its carrier system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bone regenerative effect of rhBMP-4 delivered with an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) or beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP). We also compared the potential of beta-TCP to that of ACS as a carrier system for rhBMP-4. METHODS Eight-mm calvarial critical-sized defects were created in 100 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into 5 groups of 20 animals each. The defects were treated with rhBMP-4/ACS (rhBMP-4 at 0.05 mg/ml), rhBMP-4/beta-TCP (rhBMP-4 at 0.05 mg/ml), ACS alone, beta-TCP alone, or left untreated for surgical control. The rats were sacrificed at 2 or 8 weeks postsurgery, and the results were evaluated radiodensitometrically, histologically, and histomorphometrically. RESULTS The results of radiodensitometric analysis were as follows: the rhBMP-4/ACS and the rhBMP-4/beta-TCP groups were more radiopaque than other groups at both 2 and 8 weeks (P < 0.01). The histologic observations were as follows: in the rhBMP-4/ACS and the rhBMP-4/beta-TCP groups, new bone was evident at the defect sites at 2 weeks and 8 weeks. The results of histomorphometric analysis were as follows: the rhBMP-4/ACS and the rhBMP-4/beta-TCP groups had more bone (%) than other groups at both 2 and 8 weeks (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Surgical implantation of rhBMP-4/ACS may be used to support bone regeneration in the rat calvarial critical-sized defect, and rhBMP-4/beta-TCP may be able to regenerate bone in the rat calvarial critical-sized defect without complication. In addition, both ACS and beta-TCP may be considered as available carriers for rhBMP-4.

Abstract
An ideal replacement for bone defects is auto-bone tissue, of which there is an ample supply with the required form and with vascularity. Our strategy for generating such bone tissue is as follows. First, bone tissue is induced in muscle by bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) with beta-tricalcium phosphate as a carrier to maintain its form in the muscle. Second, the induced bone in the muscle pedicle is grafted to the bone defect to maintain vascularity. In the first experiment, 50 microg of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) was inoculated into the hip abductor muscle of rabbits with beta-tricalcium phosphate under anesthesia. Five weeks after the operation, intramuscular bone formation was observed in all of the samples, and the form and size of the induced bone tissue were identical to those of the carrier. Ten weeks after the operation, the induced bone was partly absorbed. In the second experiment, 50 microg of rhBMP-2 was inoculated in the same manner as previously. Five weeks after the operation, the muscle tissue around the induced bone was incised, leaving just the proximal part as a pedicle. Two or four weeks after the second operation, the induced bone tissue had rich vascularity and no empty lacunae. This indicates the possibility of in vivo bone banking to enable morphologically controlled and vascularized auto-bone grafts.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of four bone substitutes on the growth behavior of a human osteoblast-like cell line (SaOS-2) culture: pure alpha tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP = BIOBASE), a bioactive glass (bioglass), a neutralized glass-ceramic (GB9N), and solvent dehydrated bone. We established an in vitro cell culture model with three-dimensional scaffolds (cubes of 0.7 x 0.7 x 1.0 cm) of porous bone substitutes to investigate proliferation and differentiation rates of SaOS-2 cells. The cultures were analyzed for individual cell morphology after 5 days of growing using scanning electron microscopy. Fracture preparations of the cubes showed that cells could infiltrate the porous structures, but the cell shapes varied from individual round-shaped cells to wide spread cells and cell clusters, depending on the material. Also, the differentiation of the seeded cells was dissimilar after a 5-day incubation. The specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme activity (ALP/DNA) measured in the supernatants of alpha-TCP-grown cells was nine times higher than the lowest activity, as observed by cells incubated on GB9N. Early (Collagen1, ALP) and late marker (osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein) of osteoblastic differentiation were proofed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis. Cells grown on bone substitutes and bioglass seem to be less differentiated than alpha-TCP-grown cells, because of noticeably less amounts of osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein. The cultivation on GB9N seems to dedifferentiate the cells, because even the ALP expression was reduced as well. Our results indicate that distinct bone substitutes influence proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic cells in different manners. These results might influence the selection of an adequate bone substitute for clinical use as well, part from degradative and biomechanical properties.
