ABSTRACT
In this study, effects of combining optimized tissue engineering bone (TEB) implantation with heel-strike like mechanical loading to repair segmental bone defect in New Zealand rabbits were investigated. Physiological characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), compact bone cells (CBCs), and bone marrow and compact bone coculture cells (BMMSC-CBCs) were compared to select the optimal seed cells for optimized TEB construction. Rabbits with segmental bone defects were treated in different ways (cancellous bone scaffold for group A, cancellous bone scaffold and mechanical loading for group B, optimized TEB for group C, optimized TEB and mechanical loading for group D, n = 4), and the bone repair were compared. BMMSC-CBCs showed better proliferation capacity than CBCs (p < 0.01) and stronger osteogenic differentiation ability than BMMSCs (p < 0.05). Heel-strike like mechanical loading improved proliferation and osteogenic differentiation ability and expression levels of TGFß1 as well as BMP2 of seed cells in vitro (p < 0.05). At week 12 post-operation, group D showed the best bone repair, followed by groups B and C, while group A finished last (p < 0.05). During week 4 to 12 post-operation, group D peaked in terms of expression levels of TGFß1, BMP2, and OCN, followed by groups B and C, while group A finished last (p < 0.05). Thus, BMMSC-CBCs showed good proliferation and osteogenic differentiation ability, and they were thought to be better as seed cells than BMMSCs and CBCs. The optimized TEB implantation combined with heel-strike like mechanical loading had a synergistic effect on bone defect healing, and enhanced expression of TGFß1 and BMP2 played an important role in this process.
