PG - 1648-1662 LID - 10.1159/000484026 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: This study investigated the effect of using adenovirus-mediated expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Ad-BMP-2) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in combination with a demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to repair osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in Beagle dogs. METHODS: A total of 30 Beagle dogs were selected for the isolation of BMSCs, which were cultured and transfected with the recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-BMP2-bFGF-GFP (carrying BMP-2 and bFGF) or a control adenovirus plasmid (encoding green fluorescent protein (Ad-GFP)). The expression of the transfected BMP-2 and bFGF proteins was detected by Western blotting. After transfection, the BMSCs were induced to undergo osteoblastic differentiation. The DBM was prepared to construct a DBM/BMSC complex. Beagle models of canine femoral head defects and necrosis were established and divided into control, DBM, DBM/BMSC, vector Ad-BMP2-bFGF-GFP and Ad-GFP groups. The composite graft was then implanted, and new bone morphology was visualized via X-ray at 3, 6 and 12 weeks after the operation. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Masson's trichrome staining were used to identify new bone formation. Immunohistochemistry was performed to calculate the density of new blood vessels. The compressive and bending strength of the BMSCs was evaluated at 12 weeks after the operation. RESULTS: BMSCs were successfully isolated. The protein expression of BMP-2 and bFGF was significantly higher in the Ad-BMP-2/bFGF group than the normal and Ad-GFP groups. Compared with the control group, at 12 weeks after the operation, the DBM, DBM/BMSC, vector Ad-BMP2-bFGF-GFP and Ad-GFP groups showed a larger area of new bone, higher X-ray scores, greater neovascularization density, and increased compressive and bending strength. The most significant modifications occurred in thevector Ad-BMP2-bFGF-GFP group. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the use of Ad-BMP-2/bFGF-modified BMSCs in conjunction with DBM could successfully repair ONFH in a dog model by promoting bone formation and angiogenesis.
