Abstract
Reconstruction of critical-size bone defects (CSDs) in the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) region remains challenging. Scaffold-based bone-engineered constructs have been proposed as an alternative to the classical treatments made with autografts and allografts. Scaffolds, a key component of engineered constructs, have been traditionally viewed as biologically passive temporary replacements of deficient bone lacking intrinsic cues to promote osteogenesis. Nowadays, scaffolds are functionalized, giving rise to bioactive scaffolds promoting bone regeneration more effectively than conventional counterparts. This review focuses on the three approaches most used to bioactivate scaffolds: (1) conferring microarchitectural designs or surface nanotopography; (2) loading bioactive molecules; and (3) seeding stem cells on scaffolds, providing relevant examples of in vivo (preclinical and clinical) studies where these methods are employed to enhance CSDs healing in the CMF region. From these, adding bioactive molecules (specifically bone morphogenetic proteins or BMPs) to scaffolds has been the most explored to bioactivate scaffolds. Nevertheless, the downsides of grafting BMP-loaded scaffolds in patients have limited its successful translation into clinics. Despite these drawbacks, scaffolds containing safer, cheaper, and more effective bioactive molecules, combined with stem cells and topographical cues, remain a promising alternative for clinical use to treat CSDs in the CMF complex replacing autografts and allografts.

Early induction of Hes1 by bone morphogenetic protein 9 plays a regulatory role in osteoblastic differentiation of a mesenchymal stem cell line. J Cell Biochem 2023; 124:1366-1378.

Abstract
Bone morphogenic protein 9 (BMP9) is one of the most potent inducers of osteogenic differentiation among the 14 BMP members, but its mechanism of action has not been fully demonstrated. Hes1 is a transcriptional regulator with basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain and is a well-known Notch effector. In this study, we investigated the functional roles of early induction of Hes1 by BMP9 in a mouse mesenchymal stem cell line, ST2. Hes1 mRNA was transiently and periodically induced by BMP9 in ST2, which was inhibited by BMP signal inhibitors but not by Notch inhibitor. Interestingly, Hes1 knockdown in ST2 by siRNA increased the expression of osteogenic differentiation markers such as Sp7 and Ibsp and matrix mineralization in comparison with control siRNA transfected ST2. In contrast, forced expression of Hes1 by using the Tet-On system suppressed the expression of osteogenic markers and matrix mineralization by BMP9. We also found that the early induction of Hes1 by BMP9 suppressed the expression of Alk1, an essential receptor for BMP9. In conclusion, BMP9 rapidly induces the expression of Hes1 via the SMAD pathway in ST2 cells, which plays a negative regulatory role in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells induced by BMP9.

Abstract
Osteoconductive and osteoinductive scaffolds are highly desirable for functional restoration of large bone defects. Here, we report an in situ mineralized poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide hydrogel (PLGA/PSBMA) scaffold as a novel high-efficiency carrier for recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) for bone tissue regeneration. By virtue of the oppositely charged structure, the zwitterionic PSBMA component is able to template well-integrated dense mineralization of calcium phosphate throughout the PLGA/PSBMA scaffold. The high affinity between rhBMP-2 and the mineralized matrix, combined with the capability of the zwitterionic hydrogel to sequester and to enable sustained release of ionic proteins, endows the mineralized PLGA/PSBMA scaffolds with high-efficiency sustained release of rhBMP-2 (only 1.7% release within 35 days), thus enabling robust healing of critical-sized (5 mm) nonunion calvarial defects in rats at an ultralow dosage of rhBMP-2 (150 ng per scaffold), at which level successful healing of critical-sized bone defects has never been reported. These findings show that the mineralized PLGA/PSBMA scaffold is promising for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Human BMP-2, a homodimeric protein that belongs to the TGF- β family, is a recognized osteoinductor due to its capacity of inducing bone regeneration and ectopic bone formation. The administration of its recombinant form is an alternative to autologous bone grafting. A variety of E. coli-derived hBMP-2 has been synthesized through refolding of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. The present work reports the synthesis, purification, and characterization of periplasmic hBMP-2, obtained directly in its correctly folded and authentic form, i.e., without the initial methionine typical of the cytoplasmic product that can induce undesired immunoreactivity. A bacterial expression vector was constructed including the DsbA signal peptide and the cDNA of hBMP-2. The periplasmic fluid was extracted by osmotic shock and analyzed via SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The purification was carried out by heparin affinity chromatography, followed by high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC). HPSEC was used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the final product, which showed >95% purity. The classical in vitro bioassay based on the induction of alkaline phosphatase activity in myoblastic murine C2C12 cells and the in vivo bioassay consisting of treating calvarial critical-size defects in rats confirmed its bioactivity, which matched the analogous literature data for hBMP-2.

Abstract
Cell therapy is a valuable strategy for the replacement of bone grafts and repair bone defects, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the most frequently used cells. This study was designed to genetically edit MSCs to overexpress bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP-9) using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/associated nuclease Cas9 (CRISPR-Cas9) technique to generate iMSCs-VPRBMP-9+, followed by in vitro evaluation of osteogenic potential and in vivo enhancement of bone formation in rat calvaria defects. Overexpression of BMP-9 was confirmed by its gene expression and protein expression, as well as its targets Hey-1, Bmpr1a, and Bmpr1b, Dlx-5, and Runx2 and protein expression of SMAD1/5/8 and pSMAD1/5/8. iMSCs-VPRBMP-9+ displayed significant changes in the expression of a panel of genes involved in TGF-β/BMP signaling pathway. As expected, overexpression of BMP-9 increased the osteogenic potential of MSCs indicated by increased gene expression of osteoblastic markers Runx2, Sp7, Alp, and Oc, higher ALP activity, and matrix mineralization. Rat calvarial bone defects treated with injection of iMSCs-VPRBMP-9+ exhibited increased bone formation and bone mineral density when compared with iMSCs-VPR- and phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-injected defects. This is the first study to confirm that CRISPR-edited MSCs overexpressing BMP-9 effectively enhance bone formation, providing novel options for exploring the capability of genetically edited cells to repair bone defects.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are well known as enhancers and facilitators of osteogenesis during bone regeneration. The use of recombinant BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) in bone defect healing has drawbacks, which has driven the scouting for alternatives, such as recombinant BMP-9 (rhBMP-9), to provide comparable new bone formation. However, the dosage of rhBMP-9 is quintessential for the facilitation of adequate bone defect healing. Therefore, this study has been designed to evaluate the optimal dosage of BMP-9 by comparing the bone defect healing induced by rhBMP-9 over rhBMP-2. The chitosan (CS) microparticles (MPs), coated with BMPs, were embedded in a thermoresponsive methylcellulose (MC) and calcium alginate (Alg) based injectable delivery system containing a dosage of either 0.5 μg or 1.5 μg of the respective rhBMP per bone defect. A 5 mm critical-sized cranial defect rat model has been used in this study, and bone tissues were harvested at eight weeks post-surgery. The standard tools for comparing the new bone regeneration included micro computerized tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis. A novel perspective of analyzing the new bone quality and crystallinity was employed by using Raman spectroscopy, along with its elastic modulus quantified through Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Results showed that the rhBMP-9 administered at a dosage of 1.5 μg per bone defect, using this delivery system, can adequately facilitate the bone void filling with ample new bone mineralization and crystallinity as compared to rhBMP-2, thus approving the hypothesis for a viable rhBMP-2 alternative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims at determining the biological effect of 75/25 w/w nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan (nHAp/CS) scaffolds on bone regeneration, in terms of fraction of bone regeneration (FBR), total number of osteocytes (Ost), and osteocyte cell density (CD), as well as its biodegradability. METHODS Two critical-size defects (CSDs) were bilaterally trephined in the parietal bone of 36 adult Sprague-Dawley rats (18 males and 18 females); the left remained empty (group A), while the right CSD was filled with nHAp/CS scaffold (group B). Two female rats died postoperatively. Twelve, 11, and 11 rats were euthanized at 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-surgery, respectively. Subsequently, 34 specimens were resected containing both CSDs. Histological and histomorphometric analyses were performed to determine the FBR, calculated as [the sum of areas of newly formed bone in lateral and central regions of interest (ROIs)]/area of the original defect, as well as the Ost and the CD (Ost/mm2) in each ROI of both groups (A and B). Moreover, biodegradability of the nHAp/CS scaffolds was estimated via the surface area of the biomaterial (BmA) in the 2nd, 4th, and 8th week post-surgery. RESULTS The FBR of group B increased significantly from 2nd to 8th week compared to group A (P = 0.009). Both the mean CD and the mean Ost values of group B increased compared to group A (P = 0.004 and P < 0.05 respectively). Moreover, the mean value of BmA decreased from 2nd to 8th week (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Based on histological and histomorphometric results, we support that 75/25 w/w nHAp/CS scaffolds provide an effective space for new bone formation.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9) has been shown to potently induce osteoblastic differentiation of periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) and may be a candidate therapeutic agent for periodontal tissue healing/regeneration, but the effect of the inflammatory environment of periodontitis on such approaches is unclear. We investigated whether interleukin-1β (IL-1β) affected BMP-9-mediated osteoblastic differentiation of human (h) PDLFs. IL-1β suppressed BMP-9-induced osteogenic differentiation of hPDLFs, as evidenced by reduced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization, and the downregulated expression of BMP-9-mediated bone-related genes, RUNX2, SP7, IBSP, and SPP1. In hPDLFs, with or without BMP-9, IL-1β increased the protein expression of activin A, a BMP-9 antagonist, and decreased follistatin protein, an antagonist of activin A. Similarly, IL-1β upregulated the expression of the activin A gene and downregulated that of the follistatin gene. Notably, follistatin re-established BMP-9-induced ALP activity suppressed by IL-1β. Activin A inhibited the expression of BMP-9-responsive genes and BMP-9-induced ALP activity, while follistatin re-established them. Finally, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inhibition significantly blocked IL-1β-induced activin A gene expression. Our data indicate that IL-1β inhibits BMP-9-induced osteoblastic differentiation of hPDLFs, possibly by promoting activin A production via the ERK1/2, p38, and NF-κB pathways.

Identification of key genes and pathways of BMP-9-induced osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by integrated bioinformatics analysis. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:273. [PMID: 33879213 PMCID: PMC8059242 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02390-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The purpose of present study was to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with BMP-9-induced osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by using bioinformatics methods. Methods Gene expression profiles of BMP-9-induced MSCs were compared between with GFP-induced MSCs and BMP-9-induced MSCs. GSE48882 containing two groups of gene expression profiles, 3 GFP-induced MSC samples and 3 from BMP-9-induced MSCs, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Then, DEGs were clustered based on functions and signaling pathways with significant enrichment analysis. Pathway enrichment analysis using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) demonstrated that the identified DEGs were potentially involved in cytoplasm, nucleus, and extracellular exosome signaling pathway. Results A total of 1967 DEGs (1029 upregulated and 938 downregulated) were identified from GSE48882 datasets. R/Bioconductor package limma was used to identify the DEGs. Further analysis revealed that there were 35 common DEGs observed between the samples. GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, among which endoplasmic reticulum, protein export, RNA transport, and apoptosis was the most significant dysregulated pathway. The result of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network modules demonstrated that the Hspa5, P4hb, Sec61a1, Smarca2, Pdia3, Dnajc3, Hyou1, Smad7, Derl1, and Surf4 were the high-degree hub nodes. Conclusion Taken above, using integrated bioinformatical analysis, we have identified DEGs candidate genes and pathways in BMP-9 induced MSCs, which could improve our understanding of the key genes and pathways for BMP-9-induced osteogenic of MSCs.

Spongostan ™ Leads to Increased Regeneration of a Rat Calvarial Critical Size Defect Compared to NanoBone ® and Actifuse. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14081961. [PMID: 33919825 PMCID: PMC8070843 DOI: 10.3390/ma14081961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2021] [Revised: 04/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Bone substitute materials are becoming increasingly important in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Reconstruction of critical size bone defects is still challenging for surgeons. Here, we compared the clinically applied organic bone substitute materials NanoBone® (nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite and nanostructured silica gel; n = 5) and Actifuse (calcium phosphate with silicate substitution; n = 5) with natural collagen-based Spongostan™ (hardened pork gelatin containing formalin and lauryl alcohol; n = 5) in bilateral rat critical-size defects (5 mm diameter). On topological level, NanoBone is known to harbour nanopores of about 20 nm diameter, while Actifuse comprises micropores of 200–500 µm. Spongostan™, which is clinically applied as a haemostatic agent, combines in its wet form both nano- and microporous topological features by comprising 60.66 ± 24.48 μm micropores accompanied by nanopores of 32.97 ± 1.41 nm diameter. Micro-computed tomography (µCT) used for evaluation 30 days after surgery revealed a significant increase in bone volume by all three bone substitute materials in comparison to the untreated controls. Clearly visual was the closure of trepanation in all treated groups, but granular appearance of NanoBone® and Actifuse with less closure at the margins of the burr holes. In contrast, transplantion of Spongostan™ lead to complete filling of the burr hole with the highest bone volume of 7.98 ccm and the highest bone mineral density compared to all other groups. In summary, transplantation of Spongostan™ resulted in increased regeneration of a rat calvarial critical size defect compared to NanoBone and Actifuse, suggesting the distinct nano- and microtopography of wet Spongostan™ to account for this superior regenerative capacity. Since Spongostan™ is a clinically approved product used primarily for haemostasis, it may represent an interesting alternative in the reconstruction of defects in the maxillary region.

Enhanced bone formation of calvarial bone defects by low-intensity pulsed ultrasound and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-9: a preliminary experimental study in rats. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:5917-5927. [PMID: 33755786 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-03897-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein - 9 (rhBMP-9) loaded onto absorbable collagen sponges (ACS) and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on bone formation in rat calvarial defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Circular calvarial defects were surgically created in 18 Wistar rats, which were divided into LIPUS-applied (+) and LIPUS-non-applied (-) groups. The 36 defects in each group received ACS implantation (ACS group), ACS with rhBMP-9 (rhBMP-9/ACS group), or surgical control (control group), yielding the following six groups: ACS (+/-), rhBMP-9/ACS (+/-), and control (+/-). The LIPUS-applied groups received daily LIPUS exposure starting immediately after surgery. At 4 weeks, animals were sacrificed and their defects were investigated histologically and by microcomputed tomography. RESULTS Postoperative clinical healing was uneventful at all sites. More new bone was observed in the LIPUS-applied groups compared with the LIPUS-non-applied groups. Newly formed bone area (NBA)/total defect area (TA) in the ACS (+) group (46.49 ± 7.56%) was significantly greater than that observed in the ACS (-) (34.31 ± 5.68%) and control (-) (31.13 ± 6.74%) groups (p < 0.05). The rhBMP-9/ACS (+) group exhibited significantly greater bone volume, NBA, and NBA/TA than the rhBMP-9/ACS (-) group (2.46 ± 0.65 mm3 vs. 1.76 ± 0.44 mm3, 1.25 ± 0.31 mm2 vs. 0.88 ± 0.22 mm2, and 62.80 ± 11.87% vs. 42.66 ± 7.03%, respectively) (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the rhBMP-9/ ACS (+) group showed the highest level of bone formation among all groups. CONCLUSION Within their limits, it can be concluded that LIPUS had osteopromotive potential and enhanced rhBMP-9-induced bone formation in calvarial defects of rats. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of rhBMP-9 with LIPUS stimulation can be a potential bone regenerative therapy for craniofacial/peri-implant bone defects.

C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 120:111748. [PMID: 33545890 PMCID: PMC7867678 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2020] [Revised: 11/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Bone regeneration using bioactive molecules and biocompatible materials is growing steadily with the advent of the new findings in cellular signaling. Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-9 is a considerably recent discovery from the BMP family that delivers numerous benefits in osteogenesis. The Smad cellular signaling pathway triggered by BMPs is often inhibited by Noggin. However, BMP-9 is resistant to Noggin, thus, facilitating a more robust cellular differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells into preosteoblasts and osteoblasts. This review encompasses a general understanding of the Smad signaling pathway activated by the BMP-9 ligand molecule with its specific receptors. The robust osteogenic cellular differentiation cue provided by BMP-9 has been reviewed from a bone regeneration perspective with several in vitro as well as in vivo studies reporting promising results for future research. The effect of the biomaterial, chosen in such studies as the scaffold or carrier matrix, on the activity of BMP-9 and subsequent bone regeneration has been highlighted in this review. The non-viral delivery technique for BMP-9 induced bone regeneration is a safer alternative to its viral counterpart. The recent advances in non-viral BMP-9 delivery have also highlighted the efficacy of the protein molecule at a low dosage. This opens a new horizon as a more efficient and safer alternative to BMP-2, which was prevalent among clinical trials; however, BMP-2 applications have reported its downsides during bone defect healing such as cystic bone formation.

Abstract
Erythropoietin (ЕPО) is a glycoprotein hormone, mainly known for its haemopoietic function. For orthopaedics, its pleiotropic effects – osteogenic and angiogenic potential, are of primary interest. The exact mechanism of EPO action is still unclear. The effects of EPO on bone healing were investigated through experiments with rats, mice, rabbits and pigs. Each of used models for experimental bone defects (calvarial models, long bone segmental defects, posterolateral spinal fusion and corticosteroid-induced femoral head osteonecrosis) has specific advantages and flaws. Obtaining specific and correct results is largely dependent on the used model. The brief evaluation of models could serve for standardisation of preclinical studies on bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) encompasses the field of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive molecules to successfully guide the growth and repair of bone tissue. Current BTE strategies rely on delivering osteogenic molecules or cells via scaffolding materials. However, growth factor- and stem cell-based treatments have several limitations, such as source restriction, low stability, difficulties in predicting long-term efficacy, and high costs, among others. These issues have promoted the development of material-based therapy with properties of accessibility, high stability, tunable efficacy, and low-cost production. Hydrogels are widely used in BTE applications because of their unique hydrophilic nature and tunable physicochemical properties to mimic the native bone environment. However, current hydrogel materials are not ideal candidates due to minimal osteogenic capability on their own. Therefore, recent studies of BTE hydrogels attempt to counterbalance these issues by modifying their biophysical properties. In this article, we review recent progress in the design of hydrogels to instruct osteogenic potential, and present strategies developed to precisely control its bone healing properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone demineralization has shown to be advantageous in autogenous onlay bone grafts and in pre-osteoblasts cultures, but such procedure has never been evaluated in particulate bone grafts. This study aimed to investigate the role of two demineralizing agents in the repair of the 8-mm critical-size defects in rats' calvaria. METHODS Eighty adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of eight groups as follows: particulate autogenous bone demineralized with citric acid for 15 seconds (CA15), 30 seconds (CA30), or 60 seconds (CA60); particulate autogenous bone demineralized with tetracycline hydrochloride for 15 seconds (TCN15), 30 seconds (TCN30), or 60 seconds (TCN60); blood clot (NC), and non-demineralized autogenous bone (PC). The calvariae were harvested at 30 and 60 postoperative days (n = 5) for blinded histological and histometric analysis of the percentage area of newly formed bone within the defects. RESULTS In the NC and TCN groups, bone formation was limited to the margins of the defects at 30 postoperative days, whereas complete closure was present in all the specimens from CA15 group. Both at 30 and 60 postoperative days, histomorphometry showed significant higher area of newly formed bone in specimens demineralized with CA than in those demineralized with TCN or non-demineralized (P < 0.05). TCN appeared to impair bone neoformation, as its use produced similar or inferior results compared to blood clot. CONCLUSIONS Demineralization of particulate bone grafts with CA during 15s enhanced the regeneration of critical-size defects and may be a promising adjuvant in regenerative procedures. TCN seems to be improper for this purpose.

Abstract
Severe bone damage from diseases, including extensive trauma, fractures, and bone tumors, cannot self-heal, while traditional surgical treatment may bring side effects such as infection, inflammation, and pain. As a new biomaterial with controllable mechanical properties and biocompatibility, hydrogel is widely used in bone tissue engineering (BTE) as a scaffold for growth factor transport and cell adhesion. In order to make hydrogel more suitable for the local treatment of bone diseases, hydrogel preparation methods should be combined with synthetic materials with excellent properties and advanced technologies in different fields to better control drug release in time and orientation. It is necessary to establish a complete method to evaluate the hydrogel's properties and biocompatibility with the human body. Moreover, establishment of standard animal models of bone defects helps in studying the therapeutic effect of hydrogels on bone repair, as well as to evaluate the safety and suitability of hydrogels. Thus, this review aims to systematically summarize current studies of hydrogels in BTE, including the mechanisms for promoting bone synthesis, design, and preparation; characterization and evaluation methods; as well as to explore future applications of hydrogels in BTE.

BMP9 is a potential therapeutic agent for use in oral and maxillofacial bone tissue engineering. Biochem Soc Trans 2020; 48:1269-1285. [PMID: 32510140 DOI: 10.1042/bst20200376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/15/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is often challenging due to defective bone healing owing to the microbial environment of the oral cavity, the additional involvement of teeth and esthetic concerns. Insufficient bone volume as a consequence of aging and some oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, such as tumor resection of the jaw, may further impact facial esthetics and cause the failure of certain procedures, such as oral and maxillofacial implantation. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 9 (BMP9) is one of the most effective BMPs to induce the osteogenic differentiation of different stem cells. A large cross-talk network that includes the BMP9, Wnt/β, Hedgehog, EGF, TGF-β and Notch signaling pathways finely regulates osteogenesis induced by BMP9. Epigenetic control during BMP9-induced osteogenesis is mainly dependent on histone deacetylases (HDACs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which adds another layer of complexity. As a result, all these factors work together to orchestrate the molecular and cellular events underlying BMP9-related tissue engineering. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of the SMAD-dependent and SMAD-independent BMP9 pathways, with a particular focus on cross-talk and cross-regulation between BMP9 and other major signaling pathways in BMP9-induced osteogenesis. Furthermore, recently discovered epigenetic regulation of BMP9 pathways and the molecular and cellular basis of the application of BMP9 in tissue engineering in current oral and maxillofacial surgery and other orthopedic-related clinical settings are also discussed.

Abstract
Commercially available preparations of methionyl-human BMP-2 and CHO-derived hBMP-2, which belongs to the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily, were used for a complete characterization. This protein is an extremely efficient osteoinductor that plays an important role during bone regeneration and embryonic development. Characterization was carried out via SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, followed by reversed-phase HPLC, size-exclusion HPLC and MALDI-TOF-MS. The classical in vitro bioassay, based on the induction of alkaline phosphatase activity in C2C12 cells, confirmed that hBMP-2 biological activity is mostly related to the dimeric form, being ~ 4-fold higher for the CHO-derived glycosylated form when compared with the E. coli counterpart. The E. coli-derived met-hBMP-2 has shown, by MALDI-TOF-MS, a large presence of the bioactive dimer. A more complex molecular mass (MM) distribution was found for the CHO-derived product, whose exact MM has never been reported because of its variable glycosylation. A method based on RP-HPLC was set up, allowing a quantitative and qualitative hBMP-2 determination even directly on ongoing culture media. Considering that hBMP-2 is highly unstable, presenting moreover an extremely high aggregate value, we believe that these data pave the way to a necessary characterization of this important factor when synthesized by DNA recombinant techniques in different types of hosts.

[PMID: 32042861 PMCID: PMC6997590 DOI: 10.1016/j.gendis.2019.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2019] [Revised: 07/07/2019] [Accepted: 07/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Although bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) initially showed effective induction of ectopic bone growth in muscle, it has since been determined that these proteins, as members of the TGF-β superfamily, play a diverse and critical array of biological roles. These roles include regulating skeletal and bone formation, angiogenesis, and development and homeostasis of multiple organ systems. Disruptions of the members of the TGF-β/BMP superfamily result in severe skeletal and extra-skeletal irregularities, suggesting high therapeutic potential from understanding this family of BMP proteins. Although it was once one of the least characterized BMPs, BMP9 has revealed itself to have the highest osteogenic potential across numerous experiments both in vitro and in vivo, with recent studies suggesting that the exceptional potency of BMP9 may result from unique signaling pathways that differentiate it from other BMPs. The effectiveness of BMP9 in inducing bone formation was recently revealed in promising experiments that demonstrated efficacy in the repair of critical sized cranial defects as well as compatibility with bone-inducing bio-implants, revealing the great translational promise of BMP9. Furthermore, emerging evidence indicates that, besides its osteogenic activity, BMP9 exerts a broad range of biological functions, including stem cell differentiation, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, tumorigenesis, and metabolism. This review aims to summarize our current understanding of BMP9 across biology and the body.

Imaging of nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan scaffolds using a cone beam computed tomography device on rat calvarial defects with histological verification. Clin Oral Investig 2019; 24:437-446. [PMID: 31104110 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-019-02939-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2018] [Accepted: 05/02/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Τhis study aims at determining the ability of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to visualize critical-size defects (CSD) created at rat calvaria and filled with 75/25 w/w nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan (nHAp/CS) scaffolds, prior to their histological investigation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty adult Sprague Dawley rats, 15 males and 15 females, were used. Two CSD, 5 mm in diameter, were bilaterally trephined in the parietal bone. The right CSD was filled with nHAp/CS scaffold, while the left CSD remained empty, as the control group. Two female rats died post-operatively. Rats were euthanized at 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-surgery. Twenty-eight specimens (15 × 2 × 10 mm) were resected-containing both CSDs-and then scanned using a NewTom VGi CBCT imaging unit (Verona, Italy). The manufacturer's software trace region profile tool (NNT v6.2, Verona, Italy) was used in selected axial slices. The greyscale value (in VGiHU) and the traced/selected region of interest (ROI, in mm2) of those areas were automatically calculated. Subsequently, all specimens were histologically examined. RESULTS An increased VGiHU (P = 0.000), was observed in the experimental group relative to the control group. The ROI of CSD (in mm2) was significantly reduced (P = 0.001) from the fourth to the eighth week in both groups. No statistically significant difference between male and female rats (P = 0.188) was observed with respect to VGiHU. CONCLUSIONS The nHAp/CS scaffolds are easily visualized using a particular high-resolution CBCT device. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Both the CBCT measurements and also the histological results suggest that the nHAp/CS scaffold presence contributes to new bone formation in rat calvarial CSD.

Acceleration of Bone Regeneration in Critical-Size Defect Using BMP-9-Loaded nHA/ColI/MWCNTs Scaffolds Seeded with Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:7343957.

Abstract
Biocompatible scaffolding materials play an important role in bone tissue engineering. This study sought to develop and characterize a nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA)/collagen I (ColI)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite scaffold loaded with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9) for bone tissue engineering by in vitro and in vivo experiments. The composite nHA/ColI/MWCNT scaffolds were fabricated at various concentrations of MWCNTs (0.5, 1, and 1.5% wt) by blending and freeze drying. The porosity, swelling rate, water absorption rate, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility of scaffolds were measured. After loading with BMP-9, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were seeded to evaluate their characteristics in vitro and in a critical sized defect in Sprague-Dawley rats in vivo. It was shown that the 1% MWCNT group was the most suitable for bone tissue engineering. Our results demonstrated that scaffolds loaded with BMP-9 promoted differentiation of BMMSCs into osteoblasts in vitro and induced more bone formation in vivo. To conclude, nHA/ColI/MWCNT scaffolds loaded with BMP-9 possess high biocompatibility and osteogenesis and are a good candidate for use in bone tissue engineering.

Recombinant human BMP9 (RhBMP9) in comparison with rhBMP2 for ridge augmentation following tooth extraction: An experimental study in the Beagle dog. Clin Oral Implants Res 2018; 29:1050-1059. [PMID: 30281171 DOI: 10.1111/clr.13371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2018] [Revised: 08/27/2018] [Accepted: 08/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of rhBMP2 with rhBMP9 on ridge augmentation following healing of extraction sockets in dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five male Beagle dogs, approximately 12 months of age, were used. The mesial roots of the four maxillary premolars were endodontically treated. The distal roots were extracted, and the buccal bony walls removed. All extraction sockets were filled with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM). A collagen membrane was soaked with 4 μg or 20 μg of rhBMP9, 20 μg of rhBMP2 or sterile saline and placed over the augmented sites. All animals were euthanized after 8 weeks of healing and investigated by micro-CT and histologic analysis. A one-way ANOVA with Tukey's HSD post hoc test was used to compare the differences between the four groups. RESULTS New bone apposition in all defects was observed from the original bone. RhBMP samples showed an increase in bone formation in the buccal area and better integration of DBBM particles when compared to control sites. Both rhBMP9 defects showed higher values of bone (p = 0.024), bone marrow (p = 0.044), and total augmentation volume (p = 0.033) than the rhBMP2 (20 μg) or control sites. Highest bone area was found in rhBMP9 defects (p = 0.895). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of the present study, rhBMP9 sites demonstrated higher bone-inducing potential in combination with DBBM than rhBMP2. While rhBMP9s failed to demonstrate a clear dose-response relationship to the outcomes, future studies are necessary to evaluate the appropriate dose and carrier systems.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and its clinical application, regenerative medicine, are instructing multiple approaches to aid in replacing bone loss after defects caused by trauma or cancer. In such cases, bone formation can be guided by engineered biodegradable and nonbiodegradable scaffolds with clearly defined architectural and mechanical properties informed by evidence-based research. With the ever-increasing expansion of bone tissue engineering and the pioneering research conducted to date, preclinical models are becoming a necessity to allow the engineered products to be translated to the clinic. In addition to creating smart bone scaffolds to mitigate bone loss, the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is exploring methods to treat primary and secondary bone malignancies by creating models that mimic the clinical disease manifestation. This Review gives an overview of the preclinical testing in animal models used to evaluate bone regeneration concepts. Immunosuppressed rodent models have shown to be successful in mimicking bone malignancy via the implantation of human-derived cancer cells, whereas large animal models, including pigs, sheep and goats, are being used to provide an insight into bone formation and the effectiveness of scaffolds in induced tibial or femoral defects, providing clinically relevant similarity to human cases. Despite the recent progress, the successful translation of bone regeneration concepts from the bench to the bedside is rooted in the efforts of different research groups to standardise and validate the preclinical models for bone tissue engineering approaches.

Effect of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 9 (rhBMP9) loaded onto bone grafts versus barrier membranes on new bone formation in a rabbit calvarial defect model.

Abstract
Recent research has demonstrated that recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 9 (rhBMP9) has been considered the most osteoinductive growth factor of the BMP-family. In the present study, rhBMP9 was investigated for its influence in combination with two biomaterials for bone regenerative medicine. Either porcine-derived collagen membrane (CM) or deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBM) combined with 20 µg of rhBMP9 were implanted in 6 mm rabbit calvarial defects. Bone augmentation was evaluated by microCT and histomorphometry at 8 weeks post-surgery. Both CM + rhBMP9 and DBM + rhBMP9 groups significantly promoted mineralized tissue volume (microCT) and area, new bone height and area (histomorphometric measurements) when compared to CM and DBM alone groups or control (empty). All specimens in the CM + rhBMP9 group but not all in the DBM + rhBMP9 group induced a complete horizontal bone defect closure. Multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) were observed directly in contact with DBM surfaces irrespective of rhBMP9, whereas CM was generally not associated to the presence of MNGCs. When combined with rhBMP9, DBM augmented a larger volume of mineralized tissue (including the mineralized bone graft), whereas CM induced greater volume of native host bone. While DBM in combination with rhBMP9 induced higher mineralized tissue mostly associated with the bone grafting material, CM may have presented preferable results based on a higher horizontal defect closure with a faster regeneration of host new bone. The effect of including collagen within the carrier system of rhBMP9 on bone regeneration justifies further evaluation of this combination procedure in larger animal models. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
