RESUMO

Growth factors like BMP2 have been tested for osteochondral repair, but transfer methods used until now were insufficient. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse if stable BMP2 expression after retroviral vector (Bullet) transduction is able to regenerate osteochondral defects in rabbits. Fibrin clots colonized by control or BMP2-transduced chondrocytes were generated for in vitro experiments and implantation into standardized corresponding osteochondral defects (n=32) in the rabbit trochlea. After 4 and 12 weeks repair tissue was analysed by histology (HE, alcian-blue, toluidine-blue), immunohistochemistry (Col1, Col2, aggrecan, aggrecan-link protein), ELISA (BMP2), and quantitative RT-PCR (BMP2, Col1, Col2, Col10, Cbfa1, Sox9). In vitro clots were also analysed by BMP2-ELISA, histology (alcian-blue), quantitative RT-PCR and in addition by electron microscopy. BMP2 increased Col2 expression, proteoglycan production and cell size in vitro. BMP2 transduction by Bullet was efficient and gene expression was stable in vivo over at least 12 weeks. Proteoglycan content and ICRS-score of repair tissue were improved by BMP2 after 4 and 12 weeks and Col2 expression after 4 weeks compared to controls. However, in spite of stable BMP2 expression, a complete repair of osteochondral defects could not be demonstrated. Therefore, BMP2 is not suitable to regenerate osteochondral lesions completely.

RESUMO

Since efficient transfer of foreign genes into primary articular chondrocytes (CC) is difficult, a VSV.G pseudotyped retroviral vector (Bullet) was developed for marker and growth factor gene transfer. Transduction efficiency was analysed by FACS. BMP2 production was determined by specific hBMP2-ELISA. BMP2 effect on cells regarding proteoglycan production was measured by alcian blue staining and dye quantification. Alkaline phosphatase activity was determined by enzymatic reaction with p-nitrophenyl phosphate at OD 405nm and proliferation rate was analysed by MTT-assay. ATDC5 cells (98.3+/-0.6%SD) were transduced to express the reporter gene eGFP. After 52 weeks 94.7+/-0.6%SD of cells were positive. Retroviral transduction efficiency for nlslacZ exceeded 92.3+/-6.1%SD in rabbit CC and expression remained high after 15 weeks (75.7+/-14.2%SD). ATDC5 cells and CC expressed the growth factor gene hBMP2 after retroviral transduction at different time-points. BMP2 led to an increase in proteoglycan and alkaline phosphatase production. Initially, the proliferation rate detected by MTT-assay increased in both the cell types; afterwards the proliferation rate was similar to controls. The described retroviral vector system achieved high initial transduction rates in ATDC5 cells and CC. Gene transfer was very stable over the time period analysed, rendering it a useful tool for future in vitro and in vivo studies on cartilage remodelling.
