Effects of rhBMP_2/ TGF-? on heterotopic osteogenesis of autogenous marrow stromal cells and ?-tricalcium phosphate scaffold / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe heterotopic osteogenesis of autogenous marrow stromal cells on ?-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP) scaffold, and the effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-?) on osteogenesis. Methods The Newzealand rabbits autogenous marrow stromal cells were cultured by mineralized condition medium. The cell suspension was collected. All the cells with concentration of 5 ?106 ? mL-1 were divided into four groups. Group A rhBMP-2 (15 ?g) /TGF-? (30 ng) were added; group B TGF-? 30 ng was administered; group C without growth factor as control; group D continual cultured and no loading on ?-TCP. MSCs in group A, B, C were planted on ?-TCP. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was examined by histochemistry. Then MSCs loading on ?-TCP were embedded in autogenous subcutaneous. Four weeks later, the osteogenesis was observed by HE staining, type I collagen and bone morphogenetic protein synthesis were examined by immunohistochemistry stains. Results The ALP activities in groups A and B were significantly higher than those in group C and D (P
