BACKGROUND: Research has shown that the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of the ends of the fractured bone is heavily expressed 72 hours to 3 weeks after the fracture and it is supposed that it has a promoting effect on fracture healing. Inducing angiogenesis through VEGF gene transfection has gradually attracted the attention of the researches.OBJECTIVE: To find an efficient way of exogenous VEGF gene in vivo transfection through injecting the mixture of positive ion liposome transfection agent and plasmid and to study the promoting effect of extra VEGF gene expression on bone fracture healing.DESIGN: A randomly grouping, blank control trial.SETTING: Animal Laboratory of Huaxi Medical Center of Sichuan University MATERIALS: Totally 40 adult male SD rats, weighing 230 to 250 g,were involved. All the animals were randomly divided into the experiment group and the control group with 20 rats in each group.METHODS: The experiment was conducted at the Animal Laboratory of Huaxi Medical Center of Sichuan University from April to December 2003.Altogether 40 rats were involved to establish fractured models of right shaft of femur. Cut the bone in the middle of bone stem, retroplanted a Kirsh' nail with 1 mm diameter through intercondylar part and the fractured bone was fixed. In the experimental group, a mixture of 100 μL of liposome transfection agent and 100 μg of pBLAST49-mVEGF plasmid was injected in multiple points into the subperiosteum of the both sides of the ends of the fractured bone. The same volume of normal saline was injected into the rats in the control group. Then, 2 rats in each group were put to death 3,7,14,28,42,56,70 days after the operation and femoral bone specimen was collected.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Observation of right femoral fractured staining results of VEGF, with the apperance of brown granules as positive.RESULTS: Two rats were selected at 7 time points separately, and altogether 28 rats entered the stage of result analysis. The other 12 rats were fracture at different time points: For the experimental group, 28 days after the operation, cartilage callus appeared and replaced fibrocallus gradually,and the fracture line disappeared. Fifty-six days after the operation, the bone healed completely. For the control group, 28 days after the operation , fibrocallus was observed, and the fracture line was still clear. 56days after the operation, much callus appeared, and the fracture line beof fractured bone was stained with hemotoxylin eosin (HE). In the experiment group, 56 days after the operation, the bone healed completely and trabecular like bones were rebuilt. The bone marrow cavity of the fractured region was open again. In the control group, Fifty-six days after the operation, no mature bone was formed, and the bone marrow cavity was not different time points: The expression in the two group reached to the peak on day 14 and began to decrease on day 28. The expression of VEGF in the experimental group was obviously higher than that in the control group.CONCLUSION: Injection of the mixture of positive ion liposome transfection agent into the subperiosteum of rats is an effective approach for in vivo transfection and pBLAST49-mVEGF gene transfection can effectively facilitate the bone fracture healing of rats.

BACKGROUND: Ectogenesis vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) could enhance the activity of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and concentration of cycli adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) fivefolds in cultured osteoblast cell. What' s the effect of ectogenesis VEGF gene transfection on osteoblasts is still by no means clear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of gene transfection and expression of ectogenesis VEGF on the osteogenesis activities of osteoblast cell.DEDIGN: A completely randomized controlled study.SETTING: Laboratory of Transplantation and Immunity, West China Hospital, Sichuan University MATERIALS: Cranial osteoblasts of newborn two or three-day male SD rat.METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Transplantation and Immunology of Huaxi Hospital, Sichuan University from April to December 2003 The cranial osteolasts of newborn rat were separated and cultured with enzyme digestion method then were identified by teoblasts cultured in vitro with cation liposomes transfection as gene transations, immunohistochemical staining was performed on VEGF and collagen type I and osteocalcium were detected.collagen I and secretion of osteocalcium of osteoblasts.RESULTS: The concentration of osteocalcium and expression of type I collagen of the 1- 5 generation osteoblast cell in pBLAST49-mVEGF gene transfer group were significantly higher than that in the control group (P ＜0.05).CONCLUSION : It is found in this experiment that the synthesis of collagen I was enhanced obviously after sussceful transfection of pBLAST49-mVEGF plasmid. Compared with the control group, the diffence of intergrated optical density gained by Mias image analysis system was significant( P ＜ 0.05),indicating that pBLAST49-mVEGF plasmid transfection can improve the synthesis of type I collagen and secretion of osteocalcium of osteoblasts.
