A facile one-stage treatment of critical bone defects using a calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite biomaterial providing spatiotemporal delivery of bone morphogenic protein-2 and zoledronic acid.

ABSTRACT: Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are the only true osteoinductive molecules. Despite being tremendously potent, their clinical use has been limited for reasons including supraphysiological doses, suboptimal delivery systems, and the pro-osteoclast effect of BMPs. Efforts to achieve spatially controlled bone formation using BMPs are being made. We demonstrate that a carrier consisting of a powder of calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) mixed with bone active molecules provides an efficient drug delivery platform for critical femoral defect healing in rats. The bone-active molecules were composed of osteoinductive rhBMP-2 and the bisphosphonate, and zoledronic acid (ZA) was chosen to overcome BMP-2-induced bone resorption. It was demonstrated that delivery of rhBMP-2 was necessary for critical defect healing and restoration of mechanical properties, but codelivery of BMP-2 and ZA led to denser and stronger fracture calluses. Together, the CaS/HA biomaterial with rhBMP-2 and/or ZA can potentially be used as an off-the-shelf alternative to autograft bone.

Project description:Background: Bone-graft substitutes are commonly used for the augmentation of traumatic bone defects in tibial plateau fractures. However, their clinical performance compared with that of autologous bone-grafting, the gold standard in bone defect reconstruction, still remains under debate. This study investigates the differences in quality of life, pain, and radiographic outcomes in the treatment of tibial plateau fracture-associated bone defects with either autologous bone grafts or a bioresorbable hydroxyapatite and calcium sulfate cement (CERAMENT BONE VOID FILLER [CBVF]; BONESUPPORT).Methods: In this study, 135 patients with acute depression and split-depression fractures of the proximal part of the tibia (OTA/AO types 41-B2 and 41-B3) were enrolled in a prospective, controlled, randomized, multicenter trial including 20 hospitals in Germany. Patients were randomized to receive either autologous iliac bone graft or CBVF for reconstruction of the bone defect. The primary outcome measures were the Short Form (SF)-12 version 2 Physical Component Summary (PCS) score at week 26 (the study was designed to show noninferiority of the CBVF with regard to the PCS with a prespecified margin of -5 points) and the pain level at 26 weeks postoperatively measured by a visual analog scale (VAS). The secondary outcomes were the SF-12 version 2 Mental Component Summary (MCS) and SF-12 PCS scores at weeks 1, 6, and 12 and bone-healing on radiographs.Results: Age, sex, fixation methods, and fracture pattern were comparable in both groups. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in the SF-12 PCS or VAS scores at postoperative week 26. There was a significant reduction of blood loss (p = 0.007) and pain levels (p = 0.008) at postoperative day 1 in the CBVF group. The rates of fracture-healing, defect remodeling, and articular subsidence were not significantly different (p > 0.05) in both groups.Conclusions: Bioresorbable CBVF was noninferior to autologous bone graft with regard to both patient-reported and radiographic outcomes in tibial plateau fractures of OTA/AO types 41-B2 and 41-B3.Level of evidence: Therapeutic Level I.

Project description:This study aimed to determine the effects of zoledronic acid (ZOL) on OA in rats and explored the molecular mechanism of osteoclast activation in early OA. A knee OA rat model was designed by surgically destabilizing the medial meniscus (DMM). Seventy-two male rats were randomly assigned to Sham+phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), DMM+PBS, and DMM+ZOL groups; rats were administered with 100 μg/Kg ZOL or PBS, twice weekly for 4 weeks. After 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks of OA induction, the thickness of the hyaline and calcified cartilage layers was calculated using hematoxylin and eosin staining, degenerated cartilage stained with Safranin O-fast green staining was evaluated and scored, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-stained osteoclasts were counted, changes in subchondral bone using micro-computed tomography were analyzed, and PINP and CTX-I levels were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Using these results, 18 male rats were randomly assigned to three groups. Four weeks after surgery, Wnt5a, RANKL, CXCL12, and NFATc1 protein levels were measured in subchondral bone using western blotting, and mRNA levels of genes related to osteoclastogenesis in subchondral bone were measured using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Bone marrow-derived macrophages were isolated as osteoclast precursors, and cell differentiation, migration, and adhesion were assessed by TRAP staining and Transwell assays, revealing that DMM induced knee OA in rats. Progressive cartilage loss was observed 12 weeks after OA induction. Subchondral bone remodeling was dominated by bone resorption during early OA (within 4 weeks), whereas bone formation was increased 8 weeks later. ZOL suppressed bone resorption by inhibiting Wnt5a signaling in early OA, improved the imbalance of subchondral bone remodeling, reduced cartilage degeneration, and delayed OA progression. Additionally, ZOL delayed OA progression and reduced cartilage degeneration via a spatiotemporal effect in DMM-induced OA. Osteoclast activity in early OA might be associated with Wnt5a signaling, indicating a possible novel strategy for OA treatment.
