摘要
Background: The goal of this study is to explore the effects of A-W MGC (apatite-wollastonite magnetic bioactive glass-ceramic) loaded with BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2)- and HIF1 alpha(mu) (hypoxia-inducible factor 1 mutation) expressing BMSCs (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) on the bone defect repair. Methods: (1) BMSCs were infected with viral solution containing BMP2 and HIF1 alpha(mu) with the best MOI (multiplicity of infection). The efficiency was observed via hrGFP (human renilla reniformis green fluorescent protein). (2) The cells were divided into five groups (A-E), and ALP (alkaline phosphatase) activity was measured. (3) BMP2 and HIF1 alpha (hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha) protein were measured. (4) A-W MGC was loaded with BMSCs that contain the genes and implanted into the bone defect model. The animals were sacrificed 8 and 12 weeks later. (5) The healing was measured with X-ray, histology, and biomechanics. Results: (1) BMSCs in A-D showed high transfection efficiency. (2) ALP in A and B was higher than the others (p = 0.041 or 0.038); A was higher than B (p = 0.038); (3) BMP2 in A and B was higher than the others (p = 0.014). HIF1a in A and C was higher than the others (p = 0.020). (4) 8 and 12 weeks after, an X-ray indicated that bone defect was nearly fully repaired in A and C. (5) 12 weeks after, the bone remodeling was complete in A and C. (6) The flexural strength in A and C was stronger than the others (p = 0.043). Conclusion: Engineered A-W MGC with BMP2 and HIF1 alpha(mu)-expressing BMSCs exhibits comparable therapeutic effects of bone-defect repair as an autologous bone graft.
