Acceleration of bone union by in situ-formed hydrogel containing bone morphogenetic protein-2 in a mouse refractory fracture model

Abstract Background An enzymatic crosslinking strategy using hydrogen peroxide and horseradish peroxidase is receiving increasing attention for application with in situ-formed hydrogels (IFHs). Several studies have reported the application of IFHs in cell delivery and tissue engineering. IFHs may al...

description Abstract Background An enzymatic crosslinking strategy using hydrogen peroxide and horseradish peroxidase is receiving increasing attention for application with in situ-formed hydrogels (IFHs). Several studies have reported the application of IFHs in cell delivery and tissue engineering. IFHs may also be ideal carrier materials for bone repair, although their potential as a carrier for bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 has yet to be examined. Here, we examined the effect of an IFH made of hyaluronic acid (IFH-HA) containing BMP-2 in promoting osteogenesis in a mouse refractory fracture model. Methods Immediately following a fracture procedure, animals either received no treatment (control) or an injection of IFH-HA/PBS or IFH-HA containing 2 μg BMP-2 (IFH-HA/BMP-2) into the fracture site (n = 16, each treatment). Results Fracture sites injected with IFH-HA/BMP-2 showed significantly greater bone volume, bone mineral content, and bone union compared with sites receiving no treatment or treated with IFH-HA/PBS alone (each n = 10). Gene expression levels of osteogenic markers, Alpl, Bglap, and Osx, were significantly raised in the IFH-HA/BMP-2 group compared to the IFH-HA/PBS and control groups (each n = 6). Conclusion IFH-HA/BMP-2 may contribute to the treatment of refractory fractures.
