چکیده
BACKGROUND To repair fractures with large bone defects or gaps, demineralized allogenic bone matrix (DBM) is often applied to the fracture site. However, studies have shown that the use of DBM alone has limited efficacy for repairing fractures. In the present study, we developed an allogenic demineralized bone powder (DBP) with basic fibroblast-derived growth factor containing a polycystic kidney disease (PKD) domain and collagen-binding domain (CBD) from Clostridium histolyticum collagenase (ColH) and investigated the stimulatory effects of bFGF-PKD-CBD combined with allogenic DBP on bone growth in a mouse femur fracture model. METHODS DBP mixed with either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (DBP/PBS), 0.58 nmol basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (0.58 nmol DBP/bFGF), 0.058 nmol bFGF-PKD-CBD (0.058 nmol DBP/bFGF-PKD-CBD), or 0.58 nmol bFGF-PKD-CBD (0.58 nmol DBP/bFGF-PKD-CBD) was grafted into fracture sites. RESULTS bFGF-PKD-CBD/DBP composite accelerates callus formation in a bone fracture model in mice and clearly showed that the composite also increases bone mineral density at fracture sites compared to bFGF/DBP. In addition, bFGF-PKD-CBD/DBP increased callus volume and bone mineral content to similar levels in fractures treated with a tenfold higher amount of bFGF at 4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that bFGF-PKD-CBD/DBP may be useful for promoting fracture healing in the clinical setting.

Acceleration of periosteal bone formation by human basic fibroblast growth factor containing a collagen-binding domain from Clostridium histolyticum collagenase
Basic fibroblast growth factor 2 (bFGF) is a potent mitogen for mesenchymal cells, and the local application of recombinant bFGF accelerates bone union and defect repair. However, repeated dosing is required for sustained therapeutic effect as the efficacy of bFGF decreases rapidly following its diffusion from bone defect sites. Here, we attempted to develop a collagen-based bone formation syst...

Cell-based regenerative therapy has the potential to repair bone injuries or large defects that are recalcitrant to conventional treatment methods, including drugs and surgery. Here, we developed a multilayered cell-based bone formation system using cells coated with fibronectin-gelatin (FN-G) nanofilms. The multilayered mesenchymal cells (MLMCs) were formed after two days of culture and were s...
متن کاملDo traumatic brain injuries lead to accelerated fracture healing?
Introduction Fracture healing can be defined as the physiological restoration of bone tissue, structure and function. A common association seen in orthopaedic practice is accelerated fracture healing, with exuberant callus formation in patients, with concomitant head injuries. This review explores our current state of understanding of this relationship. Materials and methods EMBASE and MEDLINE ...
متن کامل0918 - Gene Expression in Chondrogenesis during Fracture Healing and the Effect of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor
Introduction: Chondrogenesis occurring in soft callus is one of the major histological processes in the healing of fractures, though the molecular and cellular events, which regulate this process, have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, using a standardized rat closed fracture model, we examined the spatial and temporal gene expression for cartilage-related proteins and extensivel...
متن کاملThrombospondin-2 Influences the Proportion of Cartilage and Bone During Fracture Healing
Thrombospondin-2 (TSP2) is a matricellular protein with increased expression during growth and regeneration. TSP2-null mice show accelerated dermal wound healing and enhanced bone formation. We hypothesized that bone regeneration would be enhanced in the absence of TSP2. Closed, semistabilized transverse fractures were created in the tibias of wildtype (WT) and TSP2-null mice. The fractures wer...
