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.

The use of heparin/polycation coacervate sustain release system to compare the bone regenerative potentials of 5 BMPs using a critical sized calvarial bone defect model. Biomaterials 2022; 288:121708. [PMID: 36031459 PMCID: PMC10129760 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Nonunion following bone fracture and segmental bone defects are challenging clinical conditions. To combat this clinical dilemma, development of new bone tissue engineering therapies using biocompatible materials to deliver bone growth factors is desirable. This aim of this study is to use a heparin/polycation coacervate sustained-release platform to compare 5 bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) for promoting bone defect healing in a critical sized calvarial defect model. The in vitro 3D osteogenic pellet cultures assays demonstrated that BMPs 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9 all enhanced mineralization in vitro compared to the control group. BMP2 resulted in higher mineralized volume than BMP4 and BMP6. All BMPs and the control group activated the pSMAD5 signaling pathway and expressed osterix (OSX). The binding of BMP2 with coacervate significantly increased the coacervate average particle size. BMP2, 4, 6, & 7 bound to coacervate significantly increased the Zeta potential of the coacervate while BMP9 binding showed insignificant increase. Furthermore, using a monolayer culture osteogenic assay, it was found that hMDSCs cultured in the coacervate BMP2 osteogenic medium expressed higher levels of RUNX2, OSX, ALP and COX-2 compared to the control and BMPs 4, 6, 7 & 9. Additionally, the coacervate complex can be loaded with up to 2 μg of BMP proteins for sustained release. In vivo, when BMPs were delivered using the coacervate sustained release system, BMP2 was identified to be the most potent BMP promoting bone regeneration and regenerated 10 times of new bone than BMPs 4, 6 & 9. BMP7 also stimulated robust bone regeneration when compared to BMPs 4, 6 & 9. The quality of the newly regenerated bone by all BMPs delivered by coacervate is equivalent to the host bone consisting of bone matrix and bone marrow with normal bone architecture. Although the defect was not completely healed at 6 weeks, coacervate sustain release BMPs, particularly BMP2 and BMP7, could represent a new strategy for treatment of bone defects and non-unions.

Abstract
Bone is a highly vascularised tissue that relies on a close spatial and temporal interaction between blood vessels and bone cells. As a result, angiogenesis is critical for bone formation and healing. The vascular system supports bone regeneration by delivering oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors, as well as facilitating efficient cell-cell contact. Most clinical applications of engineered bone grafts are hampered by insufficient vascularization after implantation. Over the last decade, a number of flavonoids have been reported to have osteogenic-angiogenic potential in bone regeneration because of their excellent bioactivity, low cost, availability, and minimal in vivo toxicity. During new bone formation, the osteoinductive nature of certain flavonoids is involved in regulating multiple signaling pathways contributing toward the osteogenic-angiogenic coupling. This review briefly outlines the osteogenic-angiogenic potential of those flavonoids and the mechanisms of their action in promoting bone regeneration. However, further studies are needed to investigate their delivery strategies and establish their clinical efficacy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
We have developed nanoballs, a biocompatible self-assembly nano-vector based on electrostatic interactions that arrange anionic macromolecules to polymeric nanomaterials to create nucleic acid carriers. Nanoballs exhibit low cytotoxicity and high transfection efficiently in vivo. This study investigated whether a gene-activated matrix (GAM) composed of nanoballs containing plasmid (p) DNAs encoding bone morphogenetic protein 4 (pBMP4) could promote bone augmentation with a small amount of DNA compared to that composed of naked pDNAs. We prepared nanoballs (BMP4-nanoballs) constructed with pBMP4 and dendrigraft poly-L-lysine (DGL, a cationic polymer) coated by γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA; an anionic polymer), and determined their biological functions in vitro and in vivo. Next, GAMs were manufactured by mixing nanoballs with 2% atelocollagen and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules and lyophilizing them for bone augmentation. The GAMs were then transplanted to rat cranial bone surfaces under the periosteum. From the initial stage, infiltrated macrophages and mesenchymal progenitor cells took up the nanoballs, and their anti-inflammatory and osteoblastic differentiations were promoted over time. Subsequently, bone augmentation was clearly recognized for up to 8 weeks in transplanted GAMs containing BMP4-nanoballs. Notably, only 1 μg of BMP4-nanoballs induced a sufficient volume of new bone, while 1000 μg of naked pDNAs were required to induce the same level of bone augmentation. These data suggest that applying this anionic vector to the appropriate matrices can facilitate GAM-based bone engineering.

Abstract
Craniofacial bone defects can result from various disorders, including congenital malformations, tumor resection, infection, severe trauma, and accidents. Successfully regenerating cranial defects is an integral step to restore craniofacial function. However, challenges managing and controlling new bone tissue formation remain. Current advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine use innovative techniques to address these challenges. The use of biomaterials, stromal cells, and growth factors have demonstrated promising outcomes in vitro and in vivo. Natural and synthetic bone grafts combined with Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) and growth factors have shown encouraging results in regenerating critical-size cranial defects. One of prevalent growth factors is Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2). BMP-2 is defined as a gold standard growth factor that enhances new bone formation in vitro and in vivo. Recently, emerging evidence suggested that Megakaryocytes (MKs), induced by Thrombopoietin (TPO), show an increase in osteoblast proliferation in vitro and bone mass in vivo. Furthermore, a co-culture study shows mature MKs enhance MSC survival rate while maintaining their phenotype. Therefore, MKs can provide an insight as a potential therapy offering a safe and effective approach to regenerating critical-size cranial defects.

Abstract
Background Injuries of tendon-to-bone attachments (TBA) are common clinical challenges. Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) is potent in chondrogenesis. However, studies focusing on the influence of BMP-4 on the healing of TBA are scarce. Thus, this study's objective was to explore the effect of BMP-4 on the healing of TBA in a murine model of rotator cuff tear. Methods An injury model of the supraspinatus tendon (SST) insertion was established on a total of 120 mature C57 black (BL)/6 mice (12 weeks old), who were then randomly allocated into 3 groups: BMP-4, noggin (an inhibitor of all BMP activities), and control, At weeks 2 and 4 after surgery, the supraspinatus tendon-humerus complexes (SSTHC) were harvested for microradiographic, histologic, immunofluorescent, and biomechanical evaluations. Results Radiographic data showed that BMP-4 was able to improve the quality of subchondral bone, manifested as higher bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and lower trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp). Histologically, the BMP-4 group at week-2 and -4 showed a better TBA healing interface, characterized by better organizational integration and remodeling, thicker fibrocartilage layer, and more fibrocartilage cells. Immunofluorescence evaluation demonstrated that the number of SOX 9 positive cells in the BMP-4 group was significantly more than that in the control or noggin groups at postoperative weeks 2 and 4 (P<0.05 for all). Mechanical testing results at postoperative weeks 4 demonstrated the failure load, and stiffness in the BMP-4 group were significantly higher (P<0.05 for both), while in the noggin group were significantly lower (P<0.05 for both), compared to the control group. Conclusions The BMP-4 might enhance TBA healing by promoting the regeneration of fibrocartilaginous enthesis and mineralization, while this process was inhibited by noggin. Thus, BMP-4 may be a potential therapy to augment TBA healing and finally lead to more rapid rehabilitation and reduce recurrent injury risk.

Abstract
Gene-activated matrix (GAM) has a potential usefulness in bone engineering as an alternate strategy for the lasting release of osteogenic proteins but efficient methods to generate non-viral GAM remain to be established. In this study, we investigated whether an atelocollagen-based GAM containing naked-plasmid (p) DNAs encoding microRNA (miR) 20a, which may promote osteogenesis in vivo via multiple pathways associated with the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSCs), facilitates rat cranial bone augmentation. First, we confirmed the osteoblastic differentiation functions of generated pDNA encoding miR20a (pmiR20a) in vitro, and its transfection regulated the expression of several of target genes, such as Bambi1 and PPARγ, in rat bone marrow MSCs and induced the increased expression of BMP4. Then, when GAMs fabricated by mixing 100 μl of 2% bovine atelocollagen, 20 mg β-TCP granules and 0.5 mg (3.3 μg/μl) AcGFP plasmid-vectors encoding miR20a were transplanted to rat cranial bone surface, the promoted vertical bone augmentation was clearly recognized up to 8 weeks after transplantation, as were upregulation of VEGFs and BMP4 expressions at the early stages of transplantation. Thus, GAM-based miR delivery may provide an alternative non-viral approach by improving transgene efficacy via a small sequence that can regulate the multiple pathways.

Abstract
Epidural spinal cord stimulation (ESCS) markedly improves motor and sensory function after spinal cord injury (SCI), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we investigated whether ESCS affects oligodendrocyte differentiation and its cellular and molecular mechanisms in rats with SCI. ESCS improved hindlimb motor function at 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days after SCI. ESCS also significantly increased the myelinated area at 28 days, and reduced the number of apoptotic cells in the spinal white matter at 7 days. SCI decreased the expression of 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase, an oligodendrocyte marker) at 7 days and that of myelin basic protein at 28 days. ESCS significantly upregulated these markers and increased the percentage of Sox2/CNPase/DAPI-positive cells (newly differentiated oligodendrocytes) at 7 days. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 4 (rhBMP4) markedly downregulated these factors after ESCS. Furthermore, ESCS significantly decreased BMP4 and p-Smad1/5/9 expression after SCI, and rhBMP4 reduced this effect of ESCS. These findings indicate that ESCS enhances the survival and differentiation of oligodendrocytes, protects myelin, and promotes motor functional recovery by inhibiting the BMP4-Smad1/5/9 signaling pathway after SCI.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) plays a vital role in bone formation and regeneration. In this study, we developed an injectable and sustained-release composite loading LRP5 which could gelatinize in situ. The sustained release of the composite and its efficacy in bone regeneration were evaluated. Sodium alginate, collagen, hydroxyapatite, and LRP5 formed the composite LRP5-Alg/Col/HA. It was found that the initial setting time and final setting time of LRP5-Alg/Col/HA containing 4% alginate were suitable for surgical operation. When the composite was loaded with 40 μg/mL LRP5, LRP5-Alg/Col/HA did not exhibit a burst-release behavior and could sustainably release LRP5 up to 21 days. Up to 18 days, LRP5 released from LRP5-Alg/Col/HA still present the binding activity with DKK1 (Wnt signaling pathway antagonist) and could increase the downstream β-catenin mRNA in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Moreover, LRP5-Alg/Col/HA was found to significantly increase bone mineral density in the defect area after 6 weeks’ implantation of LRP5-Alg/Col/HA into the rats’ calvarial defect area. H&E staining detection demonstrated that LRP5-Alg/Col/HA could mediate the formation of a new bone tissue. Therefore, we concluded that Alg/Col/HA was a suitable sustained-release carrier for LRP5 and LRP5-Alg/Col/HA had a significant effect on repairing bone defects and could be a good bone regeneration material.

Abstract
SummaryObjectives: To report the use of compression resistant matrix (CRM) infused with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2) prospectively in the healing of non union long-bone fractures in dogs.Methods: A longitudinal cohort of dogs that were presented with nonunion fractures were classified and treated with CRM soaked with rhBMP-2 and fracture fixation. They were followed with serial radiographs and evaluated for healing times and complications according to the time frame and definitions previously established for orthopaedic clinical cases.Results: Eleven nonunion fractures in nine dogs were included. Median healing time was 10 weeks (range: 7–20 weeks). Major perioperative complications due to bandage morbidity were encountered in two of 11 limbs and resolved. All other complications were minor. They occurred perioperatively in eight of 11 limbs. Minor follow-up complications included short-term in one of two limbs, mid-term in one of three, and long-term in four of five limbs. Nine limbs returned to full function and two limbs returned to acceptable function at the last follow-up.Clinical significance: Nonunion fractures given a poor prognosis via standard-of-care treatment were successfully repaired using CRM with rhBMP-2 accompanying fixation. These dogs, previously at high risk of failure, returned to full or acceptable function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies in tissue engineering about mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide promising results for bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of rat bone marrow-derived MSCs (rMSCs) alone and when combined with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) on critical-sized cranial defects of rats. METHODS Ten rats were used to obtain allogeneic rMSCs. Forty rats were separated equally into 4 groups. A full-thickness circular bone defect was created in the frontal bone of the rats. Group 1 was an operative control group. In group 2 DBM, in group 3 rMSCs, and in group 4 DBM combined with rMSCs were applied into the defects. Bone regeneration was evaluated by computed tomographic analysis and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In radiological evaluation, the percentage of area healed in group 3 at the 12th week was statistically significantly greater than in group 1. In group 3 and group 4, distributed healing patterns were observed more than in group 2 and in group 1. Immunohistochemical evaluation revealed that group 4 had the best osteoinductive potential. Osteoinductive potential of group 3 was similar to group 2 and was better than group 1. CONCLUSIONS Allogeneic rMSC applications have created a statistically significant radiologic reduction of the bone defect areas at the end of the 12 weeks. The MSC applications have also increased the bone density and changed the healing patterns. Combined use of the DBM and rMSCs has created more osteoinductive responses. This combination can provide better results in craniofacial bone reconstruction.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the effects of onlay-type grafted human freeze-dried corticocancellous bone block (FDBB) and deproteinized bovine bone with collagen (DBBC) loaded with Escherichia coli-produced recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (ErhBMP-2) on space maintenance and new bone formation in rat calvaria. Collagen sponge (CS), FDBB, or DBBC disks (8×4 mm) with ErhBMP-2 (2.5 μg) were implanted onto the calvaria of male Sprague-Dawley rats, whereas CS with buffer was implanted onto the calvaria as controls (n=20/carrier). Rats were killed at 2 or 8 weeks post-surgery for histologic and histomorphometric analyses; total augmented area, new bone area, and bone density were evaluated. At both time-points, all ErhBMP-2 groups showed significantly higher new bone area and bone density than the control group (p<0.05). ErhBMP-2/FDBB and ErhBMP-2/DBBC groups showed significantly higher total augmented area than ErhBMP-2/CS group (8 weeks), and ErhBMP-2/FDBB group showed significantly higher new bone area and bone density than ErhBMP-2/DBBC group (p<0.05). ErhBMP-2/CS group showed the highest bone density (p<0.05). Combining ErhBMP-2 with FDBB or DBBC could significantly improve onlay graft outcomes, by new bone formation and bone density increase. Moreover, onlay-grafted FDBB and DBBC with ErhBMP-2 could be an alternative to autogenous block onlay bone graft.

Abstract
Extensive rostral mandibulectomy in dogs typically results in instability of the mandibles that may lead to malocclusion, difficulty in prehension, mastication, and pain of the temporomandibular joint. Large rostral mandibular defects are challenging to reconstruct due to the complex geometry of this region. In order to restore mandibular continuity and stability following extensive rostral mandibulectomy, we developed a surgical technique using a combination of intraoral and extraoral approaches, a locking titanium plate, and a compression resistant matrix (CRM) infused with rhBMP-2. Furthermore, surgical planning that consisted of computed tomographic (CT) scanning and 3D model printing was utilized. We describe a regenerative surgical technique for immediate or delayed reconstruction of critical-size rostral mandibular defects in five dogs. Three dogs had healed with intact gingival covering over the mandibular defect and had immediate return to normal function and occlusion. Two dogs had the complication of focal plate exposure and dehiscence, which was corrected with mucosal flaps and suturing; these dogs have since healed with intact gingival covering over the mandibular defect. Mineralized tissue formation was palpated clinically within 2 weeks and solid bone formation within 3 months. CT findings at 6 months postoperatively demonstrated that the newly regenerated mandibular bone had increased in mineral volume with evidence of integration between the native bone, new bone, and CRM compared to the immediate postoperative CT. We conclude that rostral mandibular reconstruction using a regenerative approach provides an excellent solution for restoring mandibular continuity and preventing mandibular instability in dogs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the bone regenerative effects of a recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2)-loaded collagen-based biphasic calcium phosphate composite (BCPC) and rhBMP-2-loaded biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). MATERIAL AND METHODS The in vitro release profiles of rhBMP-2-loaded BCP and BCPC were measured. The animal surgery was performed on ten rabbits. Four 8-mm-diameter circular calvarial defects were made and filled with BCP, BCPC, rhBMP-2-loaded BCP (BMP + BCP) and rhBMP-2-loaded BCPC (BMP + BCPC). The animals were euthanized either 2 or 8 weeks after surgery. RESULTS The initial burst release of rhBMP-2 was greater for BCP than for BCPC, and both presented a slow release pattern thereafter. In rabbit calvarial defects, the space maintaining capability and graft resorption of all experimental groups did not show statistical differences at 2 and 8 weeks. New bone formation in the rhBMP-2-loaded groups was greater than in the non-loaded groups at both weeks, but the amount of new bone was comparable between both rhBMP-2-loaded groups at both weeks. There was a distinct histologic difference between the BMP + BCP and BMP + BCPC groups at 2 weeks; the new bone formation occurred more in the intergranular spaces and the BCP-to-bone contact was greater in the BMP + BCPC group, but these differences were no longer discernible at 8 weeks. CONCLUSIONS BCP- and BCPC-loaded rhBMP-2 significantly improved bone regeneration and BCPC led to a dense network of new bone and bone particles during the early healing period. BCPC can therefore be considered as a promising candidate for carrying rhBMP-2.

Abstract
To date, therapeutic method for in vivo gene delivery has not been established on bone engineering though its potential usefulness has been suggested. For clinical applications, an effective condition should be developed to transfer the genes in vivo without any transfection reagents or virus vectors. In this study, to facilitate the clinical setting of this strategy, particularly aimed at atrophic bone repair, we simply investigated whether manufactured gene-activated matrix (GAM) with atelocollagen containing a certain amount of plasmid (p) DNA encoding osteogenic proteins could augment the cranial bone in rat. GAMs were manufactured by mixing 0.02, 0.1, or 1 mg of AcGFP plasmid vectors harboring cDNA of BMP4 (pBMP4) or Runx2 (pRunx2) with 2% bovine atelocollagen and β-tricalcium phosphate granules. Before manufacturing GAMs, to determine the biological activity of generated pDNAs, we confirmed GFP expression and increased level of alkaline phosphatase activities in MC3T3-E1 cells transfected with pBMP4 or pRunx2 during culture. Then, GAMs were lyophilized and transplanted to onlay placement on the cranium. At 2 weeks of transplantation, GFP-expressing cells could be detectable in only GAMs containing 1 mg of AcGFP plasmid vectors. Then, at 4 weeks, significant bone formation was recognized in GAMs containing 1 mg of pDNAs encoding BMP4 or Runx2 but not in 0.02 or 0.1 mg of GAMs. These newly formed bone tissues surrounded by osteocalcin-stained area were augmented markedly until 8 weeks after transplantation. In contrast, minimal bone formation was observed in GAMs without harboring cDNA of osteogenic proteins. Meanwhile, when GAMs were transplanted to the cranial bone defect, bone formation was detectable in specimens containing 1 mg of pBMP4 or pRunx2 at 8 weeks as well. Thus, atelocollagen-based GAM reliably could form the engineered bone even for the vertical augmentation when containing a certain amount of plasmid vectors encoding osteogenic proteins. This study supports facilitating the clinical application of GAM for bone engineering.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the possible paracrine effect of bone morphogeneticprotein-2 (BMP-2) at the experimental site on the adjacent control site for validating a rabbit calvarial defect model as a means of verifying the effect of BMP-2. Methods Sixteen rabbits were divided into two groups (n=8 in each) according to whether or not BMP-2 would be used. Two circular defects (8 mm in diameter) were created side by side, 2 mm apart, in the calvarium of all of the rabbits. In each animal, one of the defects was grafted with either BMP-2-loaded carrier or carrier material alone. The control defects adjacent to these grafted defects, designated CB (the nongrafted defect adjacent BMP-2-loaded carrier-grafted defect) and CC (the nongrafted defect adjacent to carrier only-grafted defect), respectively, were the focus of this study, and were filled only with a blood clot in all of the animals. Histologic observation and histomorphometric analysis were performed at 2 and 8 weeks (n=4 animals per point in time) after surgery. Results There was no noteworthy difference in the healing pattern, and no statistically significant differences in histomorphometric parameters such as the defect closure, new bone area, or total augmented area between the CC and CB groups. Conclusions The results of this study suggest that rabbit calvarial defects separated by a distance of 2 mm are suitable for evaluating the effects of BMP-2 and the control defect can be regarded not to be affected by BMP-2 applied defect.

Abstract
Purpose: This study compares the bone formation ability of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) with and without recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and assesses TCP as a carrier of rhBMP-2. Methods: Bilateral round defects (diameter: 8.0 mm) were formed in the cranium of eight New Zealand white rabbits. The defects were grafted with TCP only (control group) or with rhBMP-2-coated TCP (experimental group). The animals were sacrificed at 1st week, 2nd week, 4th week, and 8th week postoperatively; two rabbits sacrificed each time. The skulls were harvested and subjected to radiographic and histological examination. Results: Radiologic evaluation showed faster bone remodeling in the experimental group than in the control group. Histologic evaluation (H&E, Masson’s trichrome stain) showed rapid bone formation, remodeling and calcification in the 1st and 2nd week in the experimental group. Immunohistochemical evaluation showed higher expression rate of osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand, and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB in the experimental group at the 1st and 2nd week than in the control group. Conclusion: rhBMP-2 coated TCP resulted in rapid bone formation, remodeling, and calcification due to rhBMP-2’s osteogenic effect. TCP performed properly as a carrier for rhBMP-2. Thus, the use of an rhBMP-2 coating on TCP had a synergic effect on bone healing and, especially, bone remodeling and maturation.

Abstract
Osteochondral injuries remain difficult to repair. We developed a novel photo-cross-linkable furfurylamine-conjugated gelatin (gelatin-FA). Gelatin-FA was rapidly cross-linked by visible light with Rose Bengal, a light sensitizer, and was kept gelled for 3 weeks submerged in saline at 37°C. When bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) were suspended in gelatin-FA with 0.05% Rose Bengal, approximately 87% of the cells were viable in the hydrogel at 24 h after photo-cross-linking, and the chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs was maintained for up to 3 weeks. BMP4 fusion protein with a collagen binding domain (CBD) was retained in the hydrogels at higher levels than unmodified BMP4. Gelatin-FA was subsequently employed as a scaffold for BMSCs and CBD-BMP4 in a rabbit osteochondral defect model. In both cases, the defect was repaired with articular cartilage-like tissue and regenerated subchondral bone. This novel, photo-cross-linkable gelatin appears to be a promising scaffold for the treatment of osteochondral injury.

Abstract
Protein-transduction technology has been attempted to deliver macromolecular materials, including protein, nucleic acids, and polymeric drugs, for either diagnosis or therapeutic purposes. Herein, fusion protein composed of an arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptide, termed low-molecular-weight protamine (LMWP), and a transcriptional coactivator with a PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) protein was prepared and applied in combination with biomaterials to increase bone-forming capacity. TAZ has been recently identified as a specific osteogenic stimulating transcriptional coactivator in human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) differentiation, while simultaneously blocking adipogenic differentiation. However, TAZ by itself cannot penetrate the cells, and thus needs a transfection tool for translocalization. The LMWP-TAZ fusion proteins were efficiently translocalized into the cytosol of hMSCs. The hMSCs treated with cell-penetrating LMWP-TAZ exhibited increased expression of osteoblastic genes and protein, producing significantly higher quantities of mineralized matrix compared to free TAZ. In contrast, adipogenic differentiation of the hMSCs was blocked by treatment of LMWP-TAZ fusion protein, as reflected by reduced marker-protein expression, adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein 2, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ messenger ribonucleic acid levels. LMWP-TAZ was applied in alginate gel for the purpose of localization and controlled release. The LMWP-TAZ fusion protein-loaded alginate gel matrix significantly increased bone formation in rabbit calvarial defects compared with alginate gel matrix mixed with free TAZ protein. The protein transduction of TAZ fused with cell-penetrating LMWP peptide was able selectively to stimulate osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, this fusion protein-transduction technology for osteogenic protein can thus be applied in combination with biomaterials for tissue regeneration and controlled release for tissue-engineering purposes.

Abstract
There are two different types of fat present in mammals: white adipose tissue, the primary site of energy storage, and brown adipose tissue, which is specializes in energy expenditure. Factors that specify the developmental fate and function of brown fat are poorly understood. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) play an important role in adipogenesis. While BMP4 is capable of triggering commitment of stem cells to the white adipocyte lineage, BMP7 triggers commitment of progenitor cells to a brown adipocyte lineage and activates brown adipogenesis. To investigate the differential effects of BMPs on the development of adipocytes, C3H10T1/2 pluripotent cells were pretreated with BMP4 and BMP7, followed by different adipogenic induction cocktails. Both BMP4 and BMP7 unexpectedly activated a full program of brown adipogenesis, including induction of the brown fat-defining marker uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1), increasing the expression of early regulators of brown fat fate PRDM16 (PR domain-containing 16) and induction of mitochondrial biogenesis and function. Implantation of BMP4-pretreated C3H10T1/2 cells into nude mice resulted in the development of adipose tissue depots containing UCP1-positive brown adipocytes. Interestingly, BMP4 could also induce brown fat-like adipocytes in both white and brown preadipocytes, thereby decreasing the classical brown adipocyte marker Zic1 and increasing the recently identified beige adipocyte marker TMEM26. The data indicate an important role for BMP4 in promoting brown adipocyte differentiation and thermogenesis in vivo and in vitro and offers a potentially new therapeutic approach for the treatment of obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a surgical technique using a regenerative approach and internal fixation for immediate reconstruction of critical size bone defects after segmental mandibulectomy in dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. ANIMALS Dogs (n = 4) that had reconstruction after segmental mandibulectomy for treatment of malignant or benign tumors. METHODS Using a combination of extraoral and intraoral approaches, a locking titanium plate was contoured to match the native mandible. After segmental mandibulectomy, the plate was secured and a compression resistant matrix (CRM) infused with rhBMP-2, implanted in the defect. The implant was then covered with a soft tissue envelope followed by intraoral and extraoral closure. RESULTS All dogs that had mandibular reconstruction healed with intact gingival covering over the mandibular defect and had immediate return to normal function and occlusion. Mineralized tissue formation was observed clinically within 2 weeks and solid cortical bone formation within 3 months. CT findings at 3 months showed that the newly regenerated mandibular bone had ∼50% of the bone density and porosity compared to the contralateral side. No significant complications occurred. CONCLUSION Mandibular reconstruction using internal fixation and CRM infused with rhBMP-2 is an excellent solution for immediate reconstruction of segmental mandibulectomy defects in dogs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a surgical technique using a regenerative approach and internal fixation for reconstruction of critical size bone defect non-union mandibular fractures. STUDY DESIGN Case series. ANIMALS Dogs (n = 6) that had internal fixation of defect non-union mandibular fracture. METHODS In 5 dogs, the repair was staged and extraction of teeth performed during the initial procedure. After 21-98 days (mean, 27 days) pharyngotomy intubation and temporary maxillomandibular fixation were performed. Using an extraoral approach, a locking titanium miniplate was contoured and secured to the mandible. A compression resistant matrix (CRM) infused with rhBMP-2 was implanted in the defect. The implant was then covered with a soft tissue envelope followed by surgical wound closure. RESULTS All dogs healed with intact gingival covering over the mandibular fracture site defect and had immediate return to normal function and correct occlusion. Hard-tissue formation was observed clinically within 2 weeks and solid cortical bone formation within 3 months. CT findings in 1 dog at 3 months postoperatively demonstrated that the newly regenerated mandibular bone had 92% of the bone density and porosity compared to the contralateral side. Long-term follow-up revealed excellent outcome. CONCLUSION Mandibular reconstruction using internal fixation and CRM infused with rhBMP-2 is an excellent solution for the treatment of critical size defect non-union fractures in dogs.

Abstract
Gene therapy approaches to bone and periodontal tissue engineering are being widely explored. While localized delivery of osteogenic factors like BMPs is attractive for promotion of bone regeneration; method of delivery, dosage and side effects could limit this approach. A novel protein, Cementum Protein 1 (CEMP1), has recently been shown to promote regeneration of periodontal tissues. In order to address the possibility that CEMP1 can be used to regenerate other types of bone, experiments were designed to test the effect of hrCEMP1 in the repair/regeneration of a rat calvaria critical-size defect. Histological and microcomputed tomography (µCT) analyses of the calvaria defect sites treated with CEMP1 showed that after 16 weeks, hrCEMP1 is able to induce 97% regeneration of the defect. Furthermore, the density and characteristics of the new mineralized tissues were normal for bone. This study demonstrates that hrCEMP1 stimulates bone formation and regeneration and has therapeutic potential for the treatment of bone defects and regeneration of mineralized tissues.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to make a histomorphometric evaluation of the osteogenic potential of anionic collagen matrix as scaffolds; either crosslinked in glutaraldehyde or not cross-linked and, implanted in critical bone defects in rat calvaria. Seventy-two rats were randomly distributed in three groups: anionic collagen scaffolds treated for 24 h of selective hydrolysis (ACSH); anionic collagen scaffolds treated for 24 h of selective hydrolysis and 5 min of crosslinking in glutaraldehyde 0.05% (ACSHGA); empty bone defect (Control), evaluated at the biological points of 15, 45, 90 and 120 days. The results showed that the biomaterials implanted were biocompatible and showed a high osteogenic potential. These biomaterials presented a speed of biodegradation compatible with bone neoformation, which was shown to be associated with angiogenesis inside the scaffolds at all biological points. The percentage of mineralization of ACSH (87%) differed statistically from that found in ACSHGA (66%). It was concluded that the regeneration of critical bone defect was more evident in anionic collagen without crosslinking (ACSH).

Abstract
Purpose Bone defects and nonunions are major clinical skeletal problems. Growth factors are commonly used to promote bone regeneration; however, the clinical impact is limited because the factors do not last long at a given site. The introduction of tissue engineering aimed to deter the diffusion of these factors is a promising therapeutic strategy. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the in vivo osteogenic capability of an engineered bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) fusion protein. Methods BMP4 was fused with a nanosized carrier, collagen-binding domain (CBD), derived from fibronectin. The stability of the CBD-BMP4 fusion protein was examined in vitro and in vivo. Osteogenic effects of CBD-BMP4 were evaluated by computer tomography after intramedullary injection without a collagen–sponge scaffold. Recombinant BMP-4, CBD, or vehicle were used as controls. Expressions of bone-related genes and growth factors were compared among the groups. Osteogenesis induced by CBD-BMP4, BMP4, and CBD was also assessed in a bone-defect model. Results In vitro, CBD-BMP4 was retained in a collagen gel for at least 7 days while BMP4 alone was released within 3 hours. In vivo, CBD-BMP4 remained at the given site for at least 2 weeks, both with or without a collagen–sponge scaffold, while BMP4 disappeared from the site within 3 days after injection. CBD-BMP4 induced better bone formation than BMP4 did alone, CBD alone, and vehicle after the intramedullary injection into the mouse femur. Bone-related genes and growth factors were expressed at higher levels in CBD-BMP4-treated mice than in all other groups, including BMP4-treated mice. Finally, CBD-BMP4 potentiated more bone formation than did controls, including BMP4 alone, when applied to cranial bone defects without a collagen scaffold. Conclusion Altogether, nanocarrier-CBD enhanced the retention of BMP4 in the bone, thereby promoting augmented osteogenic responses in the absence of a scaffold. These results suggest that CBD-BMP4 may be clinically useful in facilitating bone formation.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to analyze histologically the effect of ozone therapy in combination with autogenous bone graft on bone healing in rat calvaria. METHODS Critical size defects were created in calvaria of 27 male Wistar rats. The animals were divided into three groups of nine animals each: autogenous bone graft group (n = 9); autogenous bone graft with ozone therapy group (80%, 30 s 3 d for 2 wk, n = 9); non-treatment (control) group (n = 9). Animals were killed after 8 wk. Histomorphometric assessments, using image analysis software, and histological analyses were performed. Primary outcome was total bone area. Secondary outcomes (osteoblast number, new bone formation) were also measured. RESULTS Histomorphometrically, the total bone area in the autogenous bone graft with ozone therapy group (9.3 ± 2.2) were significantly higher than that of the autogenous bone graft group (5.1 ± 1.8) (p < 0.05). Also, the ozone therapy group significantly increased the percentage of total bone area compared to the autogenous bone graft group (p < 0.05). The osteoblast number significantly increased in the autogenous bone graft with the ozone therapy group (58 ± 12.3) compared to the autogenous bone graft group (9.3 ± 3.5) (p < 0.05). Also, it was observed that autogenous bone graft with ozone therapy group showed significant new bone formation when compared to the autogenous bone graft group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Ozone therapy enhances new bone formation by autogenous bone graft in the rat calvarial defect model.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the healing capacity within an 8-mm rabbit calvarial defect using a polycaprolactone (PCL)/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold blended with tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) that was constructed using solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technology. The PCL/PLGA/TCP scaffold showed a 37 % higher compressive strength and rougher surface than the PCL/PLGA scaffold. In animal experiments, new bone formation was analyzed using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histological and histometric analyses. The PCL/PLGA/TCP groups had significantly greater neo-tissue areas as compared with the control groups at 4 and 8 weeks (P < 0.05). The PCL/PLGA/TCP group had significantly greater bone density as compared with the control and PCL/PLGA groups at 4 and 8 weeks (P < 0.005). The results of this study suggest that the PCL/PLGA/TCP scaffold fabricated using SFF technology is useful for recovering and enhancing new bone formation in bony defects in rabbits.

Abstract
AIM To determine the potential of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) soak-loaded on to an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) to induce local bone formation compared with the clinical reference demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and to investigate potential additive/synergistic effects of exogenous parathyroid hormone (PTH). METHODS Critical-size (8 mm), through-through calvaria osteotomy defects in 160 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to receive one of eight interventions: rhBMP-2/ACS, DBM, ACS, or serve as controls (empty defects) combined or not with systemic PTH. Ten animals from each group were followed for 4 and 8 wks for radiographic and histometric analysis. Multivariable analysis was used to assess the effect of experimental intervention and healing time on local bone formation. RESULTS In the multivariable analysis, rhBMP-2/ACS exhibited significantly greater histologic bone formation than control (β ± SE: 54.76 ± 5.85, p < 0.001) and ACS (β ± SE: 9.14 ± 3.31, p = 0.007) whereas DBM showed significantly less bone formation than control (β ± SE: -32.32 ± 8.23, p < 0.001). Overall, PTH did not show a significant effect on bone formation (β ± SE: 2.72 ± 6.91, p = 0.70). No significant differences in histological defect closure were observed between 4 and 8 wks for all but the control group without PTH. CONCLUSION rhBMP-2/ACS significantly stimulates local bone formation whereas bone formation appears significantly limited by DBM. Systemic application of PTH provided no discernible additive/synergistic effects on local bone formation.

Abstract
The introduction of bioactive molecules into three-dimensional porous scaffolds to mimic the in vivo microenvironment is a promising strategy for tissue engineering and stem cell research. In this study, bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) was spatially immobilized in a collagen-PLGA hybrid scaffold with a fusion BMP4 composed of an additional collagen-binding domain derived from fibronectin (CBD-BMP4). CBD-BMP4 bound to the collagen-PLGA hybrid scaffold and the BMP4-immobilized hybrid scaffold supported cell adhesion and proliferation. The osteogenic induction effect of the immobilized CBD-BMP4 was investigated with three-dimensional culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the BMP4-immobilized collagen-PLGA hybrid scaffold. The in vivo implantation experiment demonstrated that the immobilized CBD-BMP4 maintained its osteoinductive activity, being capable of up-regulating osteogenic gene expression and biomineralization. The strong osteoinductivity of the BMP4-immobilized scaffold suggests it should be useful for bone tissue engineering, stem cell function manipulation and bone substitutes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many synthetic materials for the treatment of bone defects, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. We aimed to compare the efficacy of ostrich eggshell, which is cheap and easily available, and demineralized bone matrix in healing of cranial bone defects. METHODS A full-thickness circular bone defect was created in the frontal bone of 40 Wistar rats. Group 1 was the operative control group. In group 2, demineralized bone matrix applied into the defects; in group 3, Struthio camelus (ostrich) eggshell implants (OSIs) were applied into the defects; and in group 4, ostrich eggshell powders were applied into the defects. Computed tomographic analysis was performed to evaluate the healing of bone defects, the bone density, the OSI area measurements, and the OSI volume and density. At the end of the 24th week, all rats were killed. New bone formation, infection, resorption, and tissue reactions were evaluated. RESULTS Ostrich eggshell implants were slightly resorbed, integrated with bone, stable, and supplied good cranial completeness. Ostrich eggshell powders were totally resorbed at the sixth month. There were no significant differences between control and ostrich eggshell groups in new bone formation. CONCLUSIONS Ostrich eggshell did not seem to be an osteoproductive material, but it has some important advantages as an implant. Ostrich eggshell has a strong structure, is cheap, is shaped easily, and does not cause tissue reaction or infection. Ostrich eggshell could be a good alternative graft material for craniomaxillofacial procedures. Further studies are required to find out the potential use of the ostrich eggshell in craniomaxillofacial reconstructions.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to enhance the regeneration ability of an injectable bone regeneration composite (IBRC) by the controlled release of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). The IBRC comprised nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen (nHAC) particles in an alginate hydrogel carrier. First, bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein was released from IBRC to evaluate its release rules. The results suggested that IBRC is a good controlled release carrier for BSA in the range 5-75 µg/ml. In the in vitro study the rhBMP-2 released from IBRC was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay specific for rhBMP-2. The bioactivity of the released rhBMP-2 was evaluated through differentiated function of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as measured by alkaline phosphatase activity. The results of an in vitro study confirmed that rhBMP-2 released continuously for 21 days, and its bioactivity was well preserved during this period. The bone formation ability was assessed using a rat calvarial defect model of critical size. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis demonstrated that the IBRC had good bone formation ability, which was promoted through rhBMP-2 released from IBRC/rhBMP-2. In vitro and in vivo studies suggested that the present system is a potential bone critical defect repair material for clinical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the current study was to determine whether a hydroxyapatite (HA)/beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) ratio of 20/80 impregnated with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2) enhances new bone formation and to evaluate the dose-dependent response of rhBMP-2. STUDY DESIGN Critical-sized calvarial defects were made in rats, and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) with different rhBMP-2 doses was loaded into rat calvarial defects. The animals were allowed to heal for either 2 or 8 weeks. RESULTS The percentages of new bone after 2 and 8 weeks of healing were significantly greater in the rhBMP-2-treated groups (at all doses) than in the control groups. The percentage of remaining BCP was significantly lower at 8 weeks than at 2 weeks in all groups that included BCP. CONCLUSIONS rhBMP-2 administered using a BCP carrier significantly induces new bone formation. A dose-dependent response was not shown in the present study.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of animal models for the evaluation, comparison, and systematic optimization of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies related to bone tissue. This review includes an overview of major factors that influence the rational design and selection of an animal model. A comparison is provided of the 10 mammalian species that are most commonly used in bone research, and existing guidelines and standards are discussed. This review also identifies gaps in the availability of animal models: (1) the need for assessment of the predictive value of preclinical models for relative clinical efficacy, (2) the need for models that more effectively mimic the wound healing environment and mass transport conditions in the most challenging clinical settings (e.g., bone repair involving large bone and soft tissue defects and sites of prior surgery), and (3) the need for models that allow more effective measurement and detection of cell trafficking events and ultimate cell fate during the processes of bone modeling, remodeling, and regeneration. The ongoing need for both continued innovation and refinement in animal model systems, and the need and value of more effective standardization are reinforced.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate local bone formation following systemic administration of parathyroid hormone (1-34) (PTH), a surgically implanted synthetic beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) bone biomaterial serving as a matrix to support new bone formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Critical-size, 8 mm, calvarial through-and-through osteotomy defects were surgically created in 100 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were randomized into five groups of 20 animals each to receive one of the following treatments: PTH (15 microg PTH/kg/day; subcutaneously), PTH/beta-TCP, beta-TCP, or particulate human demineralized freeze-dried bone (DFDB), and sham-surgery controls. Ten animals/group were euthanized at 4 and 8 weeks post-surgery for radiographic and histometric analysis. RESULTS The histometric analysis showed that systemic PTH significantly enhanced local bone formation, bone fill averaging (+/-SE) 32.2+/-4.0% compared with PTH/beta-TCP (15.7+/-2.4%), beta-TCP (12.5+/-2.3%), DFDB (14.5+/-2.3%), and sham-surgery control (10.0+/-1.5%) at 4 weeks (p<0.014). Systemic PTH showed significantly enhanced bone formation (41.5+/-4.0%) compared with PTH/beta-TCP (22.4+/-3.0%), beta-TCP (21.3+/-4.4%), and with the sham-surgery control (23.8+/-4.2%) at 8 weeks (p<0.025). The DFDB group showed significantly increased bone formation from 4 (14.5+/-2.3%) to 8 weeks (32.0+/-3.2%) (p<0.006). The PTH/beta-TCP and beta-TCP groups both showed limited biomaterials resorption. The radiographic analysis was not diagnostic to distinguish local bone formation from the radiopaque beta-TCP biomaterial. CONCLUSIONS Systemic administration of PTH significantly stimulates local bone formation. Bone formation was significantly limited by the beta-TCP biomaterial.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival, proliferation, and bone formation of dog mesenchymal stem cells (dMSCs) in the graft material by using Polycaprolactone-tricalcium phosphate (PCL-TCP), auto-fibrin glue (AFG), recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), and dMSCs after a transplantation to the scapula of adult beagle dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects were two beagle dogs. Total dose of rhBMP-2 on each block was 10 microg with 50 microg/mg concentration. The cortical bone of the scapula of the dog was removed which was the same size of PCL-TCP block (Osteopore International Pte, Singapore; 5.0x5.0x8.0 mm in size), and the following graft material then was fixed with orthodontic mini-implant, Dual-top (Titanium alloy, Jeil Co. Seoul, Korea). Four experimental groups were prepared for this study, Group 1: PCL-TCP + aFG; Group 2: PCL-TCP + aFG + dMSCs; Group 3: PCL-TCP + aFG + dMSCs + rhBMP-2; Group 4: PCL-TCP + aFG + dMSCs + rhBMP-2 + PCL membrane. The survival or proliferation of dMSCs cells was identified with an extracted tissue through a fluorescence microscope, H-E staining and Von-Kossa staining in two weeks and four weeks after the transplantation. RESULTS The survival and proliferation of dMSCs were identified through a fluorescence microscope from both Group 1 and Group 2 in two weeks and four weeks after the transplantation. Histological observation also found that the injected cells were proliferating well in the G2, G3, and G4 scaffolds. CONCLUSION This study concluded that bone ingrowth occurred in PCL-TCP scaffold which was transplanted with rhBMP-2, and MSCs did not affect bone growth. More sufficient healing time would be needed to recognize effects of dMSCs on bone formation.

Abstract
Difficulties associated with achieving predictable periodontal regeneration, means that novel techniques need to be developed in order to regenerate the extensive soft and hard tissue destruction that results from periodontitis. Localized delivery of growth factors to the periodontium is an emerging and versatile therapeutic approach, with the potential to become a powerful tool in future regenerative periodontal therapy. Optimized delivery regimes and well-defined release kinetics appear to be logical prerequisites for safe and efficacious clinical application of growth factors and to avoid unwanted side effects and toxicity. While adequate concentrations of growth factor(s) need to be appropriately localized, delivery vehicles are also expected to possess properties such as protein protection, precision in controlled release, biocompatibility and biodegradability, self-regulated therapeutic activity, potential for multiple delivery, and good cell/tissue penetration. Here, current knowledge, recent advances, and future possibilities of growth factor delivery strategies are outlined for periodontal regeneration. First, the role of those growth factors that have been implicated in the periodontal healing/regeneration process, general requirements for their delivery, and the different material types available are described. A detailed discussion follows of current strategies for the selection of devices for localized growth factor delivery, with particular emphasis placed upon their advantages and disadvantages and future prospects for ongoing studies in reconstructing the tooth supporting apparatus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE As adult cartilage has very limited potential to regenerate, cartilage repair is challenging. Available treatments have several disadvantages, including formation of fibrocartilage instead of hyaline-like cartilage, as well as eventual ossification of the newly formed tissue. The focus of this review is the application of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in cartilage repair, a combination that could potentially lead to the formation of permanent hyaline-like cartilage in the defect. METHODS This review is based on recent literature in the orthopaedic and tissue engineering fields, and is focused on MCSs and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). RESULTS BMP-4, a stimulator of chondrogenesis, both in vitro and in vivo, is a potential therapeutic agent for cartilage regeneration. BMP-4 delivery can improve the healing process of an articular cartilage defect by stimulating the synthesis of the cartilage matrix constituents: type II collagen and aggrecan. BMP-4 has also been shown to suppress chondrogenic hypertrophy and maintain regenerated cartilage. Use of an appropriate carrier for BMP-4 is crucial for successful reconstruction of cartilage defects. Due to the relatively short half-life in vivo of BMP-4, there is a need to localize and maintain the delivery of BMP-4 to the injury site. Additionally, the delivery of MSCs to the wound site could improve cartilage regeneration; therefore, the carrier should function both as a cell and a protein delivery vehicle. CONCLUSION The role of BMP-4 in chondrogenesis is significant, and successful methods to deliver BMP-4, with or without MSCs, to the cartilage defect site are a promising therapy to treat cartilage defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE The off-label use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) for the treatment of mandibular bone defects was evaluated in 5 patients. The rhBMP-2 was used as an alternative to autogenous bone grafting. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 5 patients had mandibular defects reconstructed with rhBMP-2, 1.5 mg/mL, soaked collagen sponges alone or in combination with bone marrow cells and allogenic cancellous bone chips. Four of the patients had mandibular continuity defects and the fifth patient had 2 large bone cavities following removal of dentigerous cysts. Radiographs and clinical examinations were used to evaluate healing. The longest patient follow-up was 22 months after reconstruction. RESULTS Radiographic and clinical assessments revealed bone regeneration and restoration of the mandibular defects in 3 of the 5 patients. The rhBMP-2 failed in 2 patients with continuity defects. Both patients with failed rhBMP-2 grafts were successfully repaired using autogenous harvested from the iliac crest. CONCLUSION Mandibular bone defects can be successfully reconstructed using rhBMP-2 soaked sponges with and without including bone marrow cells and allogenic bone. Further studies are needed to determine the ideal combination of components that will predictably and reliably regenerate bone in different types of bone defects.

Abstract
The authors present a case of scalp and facial edema following craniofacial reconstruction for metopic craniosynostosis in which recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) was used to treat cranial defects related to the frontoorbital reconstruction. The extent of swelling, the onset, and duration were unusual for such cases and suggested a possible role of rhBMP-2 in inducing a local inflammatory response. The edema rapidly resolved after the patient underwent surgery to remove the rhBMP-2 implants.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that human recombinant bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) implanted in a slow release carrier of polylactic acid (PLA) can repair a non-healing defect in the rat mandible and maintain the thickness of an augmented volume. p-DL-lactic acid discs were produced and loaded with 48 and 96 microg rhBMP-2 and inserted into non-healing defects of the mandible of 45 Wistar rats. Fifteen rats received implants with 96 microg rhBMP-2 (Group 2), 48 microg rhBMP-2 (Group 1) and blank implants without BMP (Group 0) each on one side of the mandible. Unfilled defects of the same size on the contralateral sides of the mandibles served as empty controls. After 6, 13 and 26 weeks, implants of each group were retrieved from five animals each and submitted to flat panel detector computed tomography. Bone formation and thickness of augmentation was assessed by computer-assisted histomorphometry. In Group 2 significantly more bone was produced than in Group 1. Implants of Group 1 induced significantly more bone than the blank controls only after 6 weeks, whereas the difference was not significant after 13 and 26 weeks. Differences between Group 2 and Group 1 were clearly significant after 26 weeks. The thickness of bone tissue was maintained in Group 2 whereas it decreased in Group 1 and was negligible in Group 0. It is concluded that the PLA implants with 96 microg rhBMP-2 were able to bridge a non-healing defect in the rat mandible and maintained the thickness of an augmented volume. However, continuous supply of osteogenic signals appears to be required to compensate for adverse effects during polymer degradation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone replacement is often necessary during reconstruction of craniofacial anomalies or trauma. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) possess osteogenic potential and are a promising cell source for bone tissue engineering. The present study was designed to assess the osteogenic potential and utility of using ASCs to regenerate bone in a rabbit calvarial defect model. METHODS Rabbit ASCs were seeded on gelatin foam (GF) scaffolds and induced in osteogenic medium containing bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2. Thirty-four 8-mm calvarial defects were randomly treated with autograft, no treatment, GF scaffold, GF + ASCs, or GF + osteoinduced ASCs. After 6 weeks, calvaria were harvested and underwent histologic and radiologic analyses to compare healing between the treatment groups. RESULTS Defects treated with autograft underwent complete healing. Radiologically, there were no significant (P > 0.05) differences in healing among empty defects, and those treated with GF alone or GF plus osteoinduced ASCs. Osteoinduced ASCs exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) greater healing than noninduced ASCs. CONCLUSION Preimplantation osteoinduction of ASCs enhances their osteogenic capacity. Lack of a significant osteogenic effect of ASCs on calvarial healing at 6 weeks may be secondary to use of noncritical-sized defects. Larger defects would likely demonstrate the osteogenic potential of ASCs more definitively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MD05 consists of beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) coated with recombinant human growth/differentiation factor-5 (rhGDF-5) and is under evaluation as an osteoinductive and osteoconductive bone graft material for use in dental and maxillofacial applications. The objective of this study was to compare the bone regenerative properties of MD05 with those of conventional commercially available bone substitutes. METHODS Full-thickness, 6-mm diameter, calvarial critical-size defects (two per animal) were created in adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Groups of rats were implanted with the following: 1) MD05; 2) bovine bone mineral; 3) bovine bone mineral with collagen; 4) bovine bone mineral with synthetic peptide, 5) beta-TCP (from two different manufacturers); or 6) no filling material (sham controls). Blinded macroscopic analysis, histopathologic analysis, and histomorphometric analysis were carried out 6 weeks after implantation. RESULTS New bone formation assessed histomorphometrically was about five times greater with MD05 than with the other bone substitutes tested, and bone repair was well advanced in MD05-filled defects after 6 weeks. The extent of fibrous tissue and residual implant were significantly lower in the MD05 group. In contrast to the other materials, the use of MD05 was associated with the complete osseous bridging of the defect and with the presence of normal bone marrow. The osteoinductive effect of rhGDF-5 was apparent from the more pronounced bone ingrowth observed with MD05 compared to the beta-TCP carrier alone. All implants showed good biocompatibility. CONCLUSION MD05 achieved superior bone regeneration compared to conventional materials and is a promising new bone substitute for dental and maxillofacial applications.

Abstract
Repair of bone defects remains a major concern in reconstructive surgery. Synthetic biodegradable polymers have been used as scaffolds for guided bone regeneration. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) promote cell growth, differentiation, and tissue maintenance factors. They can stimulate the proliferation of osteogenic cells and chondrocytes, and also promote angiogenesis. Acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors (FGF-1 and FGF-2, respectively) are the best known members of this protein family. To evaluate the healing of experimental bone defects using poly-L/D-lactide (PLDLA) 96/4 scaffolds and FGF-1, 18 adult rats were operated on. A 6-mm diameter critical size defect (CSD) was made in the calvarial bone of each rat. The animals were divided into three treatment groups: 1) Neither scaffold nor FGF was used (control group); 2) scaffold only; and 3) scaffold with FGF-1. Follow-up time was eight weeks. Samples were embedded in methylmethacrylate and 5-microm thick sections from the middle of each specimen were stained with modified Masson-Goldner method. The shape and size of defects were evaluated radiologically. New bone formation was measured histologically and histomorphometrically. Radiologically, in the control group the shape of the defects changed from round to oval and edges were blunt. In the other groups the defects were round with sharp edges. Histomorphometrically, mean surface area of bone trabeculae was 1.05 mm (SD +/- 0.25) in group 1 (no implant), 1.35 mm (SD +/- 0.52) in group 2 (implant) and 0.79 mm (SD +/- 0.34) in group 3 (implant and FGF-1). Histological examinations revealed no or little osteoid in the groups 1 and 2, whereas in the group 3 samples had little or moderate new bone formation. Accordingly, no clear benefit of using knitted PLDLA scaffolds combined with FGF-1 on the healing of calvarial critical size defects in rats could be demonstrated.

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.
