Objective: To evaluate the effects of co-expressing hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 in BMSCs (bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells) on the repairing process of radial segmental defects in rats.
Methods: BMSCs were infected with a high titer recombinant adenovirus carrying hTGF-βl and/or hBMP-2 genes. Expression of exogenous genes in BMSCs was confirmed by RT-PCR and ELISA assays. In vitro effects of exogenous genes were assessed by MTT and ALP activity tests. A left radial defect model was created using 120 SD rats. Genetically modified or unmodified BMSCs were implanted with collagen sponge scaffolds into the 5-mm radial defect. The bone repair process was systematically monitored and evaluated by X-ray examinations, gross anatomic examinations, histological analyses, and biomechanical tests.
Results: Expression of hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 showed synergistic effects on promoting BMSC proliferation and enhancing ALP activity in vitro. Bone repair assays showed that hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 promoted the production of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. Implanted BMSCs transfected with both hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 led to the best bone repair outcome.
Conclusion: hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 can synergistically improve the bone repair process. Our results suggest a potential clinical value of combining hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 in repairing bone defects.

Human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP-2) plays a leading role in the process of osteogenesis and is one of the key components of osteoplastic materials, ensuring their high osteoinduction. In order to obtain a homodimeric form hBMP-2 using the E. coli expression system, a number of problems associated with refolding in vitro and purification from monomer and oligomeric forms must be solved.

Human BMP-2, a homodimeric protein that belongs to the TGF- β family, is a recognized osteoinductor due to its capacity of inducing bone regeneration and ectopic bone formation. The administration of its recombinant form is an alternative to autologous bone grafting. A variety of derived hBMP-2 has been synthesized through refolding of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies.

Objective: To prepare the human bone morphogenetic protein-2(hBMP-2)/human insulin-like growth factor-1(hIGF-1)coating titanium(Ti)and assess its performance as a dental implant material.
Methods: hBMP-2 and hIGF-1 were coated to the smooth surface of a Ti plate, and its efficacy for promoting bone formation and bone integration was compared with a pristine Ti plate.The surface characteristics of the metal samples were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and by contact angle measurement.

The best way in which to prepare scaffolds with good biological properties is an urgent problem in the field of tissue engineering. In this paper we discuss the preparation of nano-hydroxyapatite scaffold of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and its application in bone defect repair. rhBMP-2 reagent was dissolved in 1 mol/L sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution, and the rhBMP-2 solution was added to the nano-hydroxyapatite artificial bone with a 100 L glass micro dropper at the rate of 10 drops/min to obtain Nano-HA/rhBMP-2 composite artificial bone.

Bone has a remarkable potential for self-healing and repair, yet several injury types are non-healing even after surgical or non-surgical treatment. Regenerative therapies that induce bone repair or improve the rate of recovery are being intensely investigated. Here, we probed the potential of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) engineered with chemically modified mRNAs (modRNA) encoding the hBMP-2 and VEGF-A gene to therapeutically heal bone.
