Study of VEGF and BMP-2 genes expressions inside the necrotic rabbit femoral head / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To study the dynamic changes of the VEGF and BMP-2 genes expressions inside the necrotic femoral head of rabbits.[Method]Made rabbit model of femoral head necrosis(FHN) with the method of twice intravenous injection with low dosage lipo polysaccharide(LPS)(10 ?g/kg body weight,at a time interval of 24 hours.)and 3 times intramuscular injection with methylprednisolone(MPS)(20mg/kg body weight,at a time interval of 24 hours.().)Immunohistochemistry,in situ hybridization and extract total RNA for real-time quantitative PCR were performed and successfully designed the suitable probes and primerswas used to detect the dynamic changes of the VEGF and BMP-2 genes expressions inside the femoral head of rabbits.[Result]The expressions of the VEGF and BMP-2 genes in group B(model group)at the 4,8,12 th and 16 th week were negative and real-time quantitative PCR showed that the level of the VEGF and BMP-2 mRNA genes expressions were obviously lower than that of control group.[Conclusion]The VEGF and BMP-2 genes expressions are inhibited in FNH model induced by LPS and MPS.
