چکیده

Over one million fractures occur per year in the US and are associated with impaired healing increasing patient morbidity, stress, and economic costs. Despite improvements in surgical technique, internal fixation, and understanding of biologics, fracture healing is delayed or impaired in up to 4% of all fractures. Complications due to impaired fracture healing present therapeutic challenges to the orthopedic surgeon and often lead to chronic functional and psychological disability for the patient. As a result, it has become clinically desirable to augment mechanical fixation with biologic strategies in order to accelerate osteogenesis and promote successful arthrodesis. The discovery of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) has been pivotal in understanding the biology of fracture healing and has been a source of intense clinical research as an adjunct to fracture treatment. Multiple in vitro and in vivo studies in animals have elucidated the complex biologic interactions between BMPs and cellular receptors and have convincingly demonstrated rhBMP-2 to be a safe, effective treatment option to enhance bone healing. Multiple clinical trials in trauma surgery have provided level 1 evidence for the use of rhBMP-2 as a safe and effective treatment of fractures. Human clinical trials have provided further insight into BMP-2 dosage, time course, carriers, and efficacy in fracture healing of tibial defects. These promising results have provided hope that a new biologic field of technology has emerged as a useful adjunct in the treatment of skeletal injuries and conditions.

Effects of Treatment with Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 and Co-culture on Expression of Piwil2 Gene in Mouse Differentiated Embryonic Stem Cells

Background Specific growth factors and feeder layers seem to have important roles in in vitro embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation. In this study,the effects of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) co-culture system on germ cell differentiation from mouse ESCs were studied. MaterialsAndMethods Cell suspension was prepared from one-day-old embryoid bo...

Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2: a novel osteoinductive alternative to autogenous bone graft?

Autogenous bone grafts from the iliac crest have long been the gold standard for repair and reconstruction of bone; however harvesting of the grafts from the iliac crest is associated with donor site morbidity, particularly chronic pain. The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are soluble bone matrix glycoproteins that induce the differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells into osteogenic cells and...

The use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 for the treatment of a delayed union following femoral neck open-wedge osteotomy

Although the clinical potential of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) has been known for decades, their use in humans has only been approved for a limited number of orthopaedic conditions. Promising results in animals demonstrate the utility of BMP-2 in regional bone repair without using osteoconductors. To our knowledge, no comparable human case has been described. We report the case of a 50-y...

کلونینگ و بررسی بیان ژن کد کننده BMP-2 انسانی در باکتری E. coli به منظور تولید یک داروی نوترکیب

Introduction & Objective: Bone morphogenetic proteins are a group of cytokines that belongs to superfamily TGFβ. These proteins play an important role in evolution of many of organs and tissues through germinal period followed by amending and rebuilding of bone tissue and car-tilage. The aim of this study was to clone and expression analysis of BMP-2 gene in E. coli bacteria. Materials & Method...

Improving bone formation in a rat femur segmental defect by controlling bone morphogenetic protein-2 release.

Nonunion is a common complication in open fractures and other severe bone injuries. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) delivered on a collagen sponge enhances healing of fractures. However, the burst release of rhBMP-2 necessitates supra-physiological doses of rhBMP-2 to achieve a robust osteogenic effect, which introduces risk of ectopic bone formation and severe inflamma...

Regeneration of the skeleton by recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins.

Recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMPs) have past a long journey in human orthopaedic surgery during the last 15 years. From the first reports of the use of rhBMPs in hostile environments such as critically-sized bone defects, avascular femoral head necrosis, unstable thoracolumbar vertebral fractures, instability between the atlas and axis due to rheumatoid arthritis; over the u...
