description | Bone defects have long been a major healthcare issue because of the difficulties in regenerating bone mass volume and the high cost of treatment. G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 interacting protein 1 (GIT1) has been proven to play an important role both in vascular development and in bone fracture healing. In this study, a type of thermoresponsive injectable hydrogel from oligoethylene glycol-based dendronized chitosan (G1-CS) was loaded with GIT1-plasmids (G1-CS/GIT1), and used to fill unicortical bone defects. RT-PCR analysis confirmed that G1-CS/GIT1 enhanced DNA transfection in MSCs both in vitro and in vivo. From the results of micro-CT, RT-PCR and histological analysis, it can be concluded that G1-CS/GIT1 accelerated the bone healing rate and increased the amount of neovascularization around the bone defects. In addition, an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-GIT1 was constructed to transfect mesenchymal stem cells. The results of capillary tube formation assay, immunofluorescence staining and western blot analysis proved that high expression of GIT1 induces mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into endothelial cells. RT-PCR analysis and capillary tube formation assay confirmed that the Notch signaling pathway was activated in the differentiation process. Overall, we developed an efficient strategy through combination of injectable hydrogel and G1T1 for bone tissue engineering. |
