Abstract:
To evaluate availability of the BMP-7 adenovirus (AdBMP-7) as a gene therapy for osteoinduction, we investigated in morphological aspect at 1, 2, 4, 6 weeks after cells injection. Primary cultured human dermal fibroblasts, transduced with AdBMP-7, were injected into gastrocnemius muscle of the nude mice. One week after fibroblasts transplantation new tissue was observed in the muscle. Majority of new tissue was evaluated as cartilage and calcification in the matrix was confirmed by Von Kossa stain as well as electron microscopy. Two weeks after transplantation, spongy bone was built up and adipocytes were observed in intertrabecular spaces. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts were observed in the bony tissue surface. In the result of Von Kossa-Van Gieson stain, osteolysis was dominant in bony trabeculae. Bone marrow was established in 4th weeks with intertrabecular space filled up by hematopoietic cells. At the 6th weeks, the number of trabeculae decreased and thickness of the cortical bone was increased. A great part of bone matrix has laminar structure which run paralleled to surface and which included osteocytes and canaliculi. These data demonstrate that cell mediated AdBMP-7 for gene therapy initiate development of cartilage and calcification of matrix within 1 week and complete bone and bone marrow formation within 4 weeks, so then, could be made practical application for promotion of osteoinduction.
