ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of induced osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transfected by double-gene. METHODS: The recent literature concerning the comparative research of induced osteogenesis of BMSCs transfected by double-gene was extensively reviewed. The characteristics of BMSCs, the advantage and effect of synergistic inductive osteogenesis, the application prospect and problems of BMSCs transfected by double-gene were summarized. RESULTS: The effect of induced osteogenesis concerning BMSCs transfected by double-gene is far superior to single gene transfection and the activity of osteoblast is also significantly increased. The research used in bone tissue engineering experiment also obtain good effect. CONCLUSION: Induced osteogenesis of BMSCs transfected by double-gene is able to make up for the lack of a single gene transfection and has great development prospects in the orthopaedic field.
