RESUMEN
Metabolic syndrome represents a cluster of conditions such as obesity, hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension that can lead to type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or cardiovascular disease. Here, we investigated the influence of obesity and hyperglycaemia on osseointegration using a novel, leptin receptor-deficient animal model, the Lund MetS rat. Machined titanium implants were installed in the tibias of animals with normal leptin receptor (LepR+/+) and those harbouring congenic leptin receptor deficiency (LepR-/-) and were left to heal for 28 days. Extensive evaluation of osseointegration was performed using removal torque measurements, X-ray micro-computed tomography, quantitative backscattered electron imaging, Raman spectroscopy, gene expression analysis, qualitative histology, and histomorphometry. Here, we found comparable osseointegration potential at 28 days following implant placement in LepR-/- and LepR+/+ rats. However, the low bone volume within the implant threads, higher bone-to-implant contact, and comparable biomechanical stability of the implants point towards changed bone formation and/or remodelling in LepR-/- rats. These findings are corroborated by differences in the carbonate-to-phosphate ratio of native bone measured using Raman spectroscopy. Observations of hypermineralised cartilage islands and increased mineralisation heterogeneity in native bone confirm the delayed skeletal development of LepR-/- rats. Gene expression analyses reveal comparable patterns between LepR-/- and LepR+/+ animals, suggesting that peri-implant bone has reached equilibrium in healing and/or remodelling between the animal groups.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in biological activities, especially in regulating osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. However, no studies have reported the role of circRNAs in early osseointegration. Here we identified a new circRNA, circRNA422, from rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) cultured on sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched titanium surfaces. The results showed that circRNA422 significantly enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs with increased expression levels of alkaline phosphatase, the SP7 transcription factor (SP7/osterix), and lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5). Silencing of circRNA422 had opposite effects. There were two SP7 binding sites on the LRP5 promoter, indicating a direct regulatory relationship between SP7 and LRP5. circRNA422 could regulate early osseointegration in in vivo experiments. These findings revealed an important function of circRNA422 during early osseointegration. Therefore, circRNA422 may be a potential therapeutic target for enhancing implant osseointegration.

AIMS: While the benefits of direct skeletal attachment of artificial limbs are well recognized, device failure due to infection and insufficient osseointegration remain obstacles to obtaining consistently successful outcomes. Currently, the potential for device failure is assessed by subjective pain, clinical function scores, radiographic evidence of bone atrophy, and the presence of radiolucent lines at the bone-implant interface, and subjective pain and function scores. Our hypothesis is that measurable biological indices might add another objective means to assess trends toward bone and stomal healing. This longitudinal cohort study was undertaken to identify potential serological biomarkers suggestive of bone remodeling and the presence of stomal tissue inflammation. METHODS: Ten unilateral transfemoral amputee veterans, who were implanted with a percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) skeletal limb docking system, were recruited to participate in this IRB-approved study. Venous blood samples were obtained from before the Stage 1 Surgery up to 1 year following the Stage 2 Surgery. Whole-blood RNA was extracted, sequenced, mapped, and analyzed. Of the significant differentially expressed (DEGs) genes (p<0.05) identified, four genes of interest (IL12B, IL33, COL2A1, and SOST) were validated using qPCR. Enrichment analysis was performed to identify significant (p<0.01) Gene Ontology (GO) terms. RESULTS: Most differentially expressed genes were only detected at PoS1 immediately after the first surgery. Of the significant genes identified, IL12B and IL33 were related to inflammation, and COL2A1 and SOST were associated with bone remodeling. These four genes were identified with greater than 20 log fold-change. CONCLUSION: Whole-blood RNA-seq data from 10 patients who previously underwent percutaneous osseointegrated lower limb implantation revealed four genes of interest that are known to be involved in inflammation or bone remodeling. If verified in future studies, these genes may serve as markers for predicting optimal bone remodeling and stomal tissue healing following OI device implantation.

We examined alveolar bone samples in the area of on-bone fixation of a free gingival graft performed during surgery in patients aged 37-55 years with a diagnosis of secondary partial adentia of the upper and lower jaws. Six months after fixation of the graft in the alveolar bone, foci of neoosteogenesis were found in the contact zone. They were characterized by the appearance of appositional lines, cords of basophilic osteoblasts, and growing osteons. An immunohistochemical study revealed an increase in the number of CD44+, CD29+, and osteocalcin+ cells in the layer of the outer circumferential lamellae, primary osteons, and the lining of the Haversian canals. TGF-ß1+ cells were located in the intertrabecular reticular tissue and wall of microvessels. The results indicate activation of mesenchymal stem cells in the area of localization of the graft and differentiating osteoblasts. The observed osteoinductive effect of free gingival graft is associated with its participation in reorganization in MSC and induction of morphogenetic molecules.

BACKGROUND: Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an important risk factor for osseointegration of implants. The aim of this study was to explore key genes of T2DM affecting bone metabolism through bioinformatic analysis of published RNA sequencing data, identify potential biomarkers, and provide a reference for finding the molecular mechanism of abnormal osseointegration caused by T2DM. METHODS: We identified differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs from the Gene Expression Omnibus database using the R package 'limma' and analysed the predicted target genes using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis and Gene Ontology analysis. At the same time, miRNA-mRNA interactions were explored using miRWalk 2.0. RESULTS: We constructed an miRNA-gene regulatory network and a protein-protein interaction network. The enrichment pathways of differentially expressed mRNAs included extracellular matrix receptor interactions, protein digestion and absorption, the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, chemokine signalling pathways, and haematopoietic cell lineage functions. We analysed the expression of these differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs in T2DM rats and normal rats with bone implants and identified Smpd3, Itga10, and rno-mir-207 as possible key players in osseointegration in T2DM. CONCLUSION: Smpd3, Itga10, and rno-mir-207 are possible biomarkers of osseointegration in T2DM. This study sheds light on the possible molecular mechanism of abnormal osseointegration caused by bone metabolism disorder in T2DM.

Dental implants are commonly used to repair missing teeth. The implant surface plays a critical role in promoting osseointegration and implant success. However, little information is available about which implant surface treatment technology best promotes osseointegration and implant stability. The aim of this network meta-analysis was to evaluate the osseointegration and stability of four commonly used dental implants (SLA, SLActive, TiUnite, and Osseotite). The protocol of the current meta-analysis is registered in PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) under the code CRD42020190907 ( https://www.crd.york.ac.uk ). We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA and Cochrane Recommendations. Medline (PubMed), Cochrane Library, Embase, and the Web of Science databases were searched. Only randomized controlled trials were considered. Twelve studies were included in the current network meta-analysis, eleven studies were included concerning the osseointegration effect and five studies were included for stability analysis (four studies were used to assess both stability and osseointegration). Rank possibility shows that the SLActive surface best promoted bone formation at an early healing stage and TiUnite seemed to be the best surface for overall osseointegration. For stability, TiUnite seemed to be the best surface. The present network meta-analysis showed that the SLActive surface has the potential to promote osseointegration at an early stage. The TiUnite surface had the best effect on osseointegration regarding the overall healing period. The TiUnite surface also had the best effect in stability.

The contribution of epigenetic mechanisms as a potential treatment model has been observed in cancer and autoimmune/inflammatory diseases. This review aims to put forward the epigenetic mechanisms as a promising strategy in implant surface functionalization and modification of biomaterials, to promote better osseointegration and bone regeneration, and could be applicable for alveolar bone regeneration and osseointegration in the future. Materials and Methods: Electronic and manual searches of the literature in PubMed, MEDLINE, and EMBASE were conducted, using a specific search strategy limited to publications in the last 5 years to identify preclinical studies in order to address the following focused questions: (i) Which, if any, are the epigenetic mechanisms used to functionalize implant surfaces to achieve better osseointegration? (ii) Which, if any, are the epigenetic mechanisms used to functionalize biomaterials to achieve better tissue regeneration? Findings from several studies have emphasized the role of miRNAs in functionalizing implants surfaces and biomaterials to promote osseointegration and bone regeneration, respectively. However, there are scarce data on the role of DNA methylation and histone modifications for these specific applications, despite being commonly applied in cancer research. Studies over the past few years have demonstrated that biomaterials are immunomodulatory rather than inert materials. In this context, epigenetics can act as next generation of advanced treatment tools for future regenerative techniques. Yet, there is a need to evaluate the efficacy/cost effectiveness of these techniques in comparison to current standards of care.

BACKGROUND: A successful osseointegration of total hip arthroplasty (THA) relies on the interplay of implant surface and bone marrow microenvironment. This study was undertaken to investigate the impact of perioperative biochemical molecules (Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, VD, PTH) on the bone marrow osteogenetic factors (BMP2, BMP7, Stro-1+ cells) in the metaphyseal region of the femoral head, and further on the bone mineral density (BMD) of Gruen R3. METHODS: Bone marrow aspirates were obtained from the discarded metaphysis region of the femoral head in 51 patients with THA. Flow cytometry was used to measure the Stro-1+ expressing cells. ELISA was used to measure the concentrations of bone morphologic proteins (BMP2 and BMP7) and the content of TRACP5b in serum. TRAP staining was used to detect the osteoclast activity in the hip joint. The perioperative concentrations of the biochemical molecules above were measured by radioimmunoassay. The BMD of Gruen zone R3 was examined at 6 months after THA, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). RESULTS: Our data demonstrated that the concentration of Ca2+ was positively correlated with BMP7 expression, and with the postoperative BMD of Gruen zone R3. However, the concentration of Mg2+ had little impact on the R3 BMD, although it was negatively correlated with the expression of BMP7. Osteoclast activity in hip joint tissue of patients with femoral neck fractures was increased. Compared with the patients before THA, the levels of TRACP5b in serum of patients after THA were decreased. The data also suggested that the other biochemical molecules, such as Zn2+, VD, and PTH, were not significantly correlated with any bone marrow osteogenetic factors (BMP2, BMP7, Stro-1+ cells). The postoperative R3 BMD of patients of different gender and age had no significant difference. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate the local concentration of Ca2+ may be an indicator for the prognosis of THA patients.

PURPOSE: Zirconia is one of the most promising implant materials due to its favorable physical, mechanical and biological properties. However, until now, we know little about the mechanism of osseointegration on zirconia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Syndecan (Sdc) on osteoblastic cell (MC3T3-E1) adhesion and proliferation onto zirconia materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The mirror-polished disks 15 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm in thick of commercial pure titanium (CpTi), 3mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (3Y-TZP) and nano-zirconia (NanoZr) are used in this study. MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded onto specimen surfaces and subjected to RNA interference (RNAi) for Syndecan-1, Syndecan-2, Syndecan-3, and Syndecan-4. At 48h post-transfection, the cell morphology, actin cytoskeleton, and focal adhesion were observed using scanning electron microscopy or laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. At 24h and 48h post-transfection, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to investigate cell proliferation. RESULTS: The cell morphology of MC3T3-E1 cells on CpTi, 3Y-TZP, and NanoZr changed into abnormal shape after gene silencing of Syndecan. Among the Syndecan family, Sdc-2 is responsible for NanoZr-specific morphology regulation, via maintenance of cytoskeletal conformation without affecting cellular attachment. According to CCK-8 assay, Sdc-2 affects the osteoblastic cell proliferation onto NanoZr. CONCLUSION: Within the limitation of this study, we suggest that Syndecan affects osteoblastic cell adhesion on CpTi, 3Y-TZP, and NanoZr. Sdc-2 might be an important heparin-sensitive cell membrane regulator in osteoblastic cell adhesion, specifically on NanoZr, through the organization of actin cytoskeleton and affects osteoblastic cell proliferation.

The demand for orthopedic implants continues to increase with the aging population. As the most widely used orthopedic materials, titanium and its alloys have achieved high success rates. However, the lack of bone tissue integration remains a barrier to successful operations. In this study, the titanium surface was acid-treated and functionalized with miR-21 nanocapsules via an in situ polymerization method. This coating showed a uniform miR-21 distribution and sustainable miR-21 release. The in vitro studies indicated that miR-21 could not only promote angiogenic and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs but also enhance osteoclastic activity. Additionally, in vivo evaluations, including X-ray, micro-CT, histology, immunohistochemistry, biomechanical testing, Raman and SEM-EDS, demonstrated that the micro-rough surface could increase the bone-implant contact and, thus, improved osseointegration during the early stages. More importantly, the miR-21 nanocapsule coating accelerated vascularization (high expression of CD31), bone remodeling (high expression of both osteogenesis- and osteoclast-related proteins) and bone maturation (high proportion of apatite), resulting in a significantly improved bone-implant contact and enhanced bone-implant bonding strength (twice the Ti at 1 month). These results indicated that a Ti-based micro-rough surface functionalized with miR-21 nanocapsules had potential applications in the orthopedic field.

BACKGROUND: Adiponectin (APN) has been reported to promote bone formation. However, it is difficult to utilize a conventional method that administers sufficient APN to the implant site. The present study investigated the efficacy of an APN transgene to accelerate the implant osseointegration in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. METHODS: In vitro, bone marrow stromal cells were transduced with reconstructed adenovirus (Ad-APN-EGFP) and osteoclast precursor RAW264.7 cells were co-cultured with the conditioned medium secreted by transduced bone marrow stromal cells. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and bone slice resorption assay were performed to evaluate the activity of osteoclastogenesis. In vivo, Ad-APN-EGFP was administered into the bone defect prior to implant placement in OVX rats. At 7 and 28 days post implantation, the femurs were harvested and prepared for a real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, hemotoxylin and eosin staining, immunohistochemical staining, micro-computed tomography analysis and biomechanical testing. RESULTS: The results showed the formation and function of osteoclasts were significantly suppressed in vitro. Successful transgene expression was confirmed, and a significant increase of OCN, Runx2 and ALP expression was detected in the Ad-APN-EGFP group in vivo. Interestingly, we also found that the overexpression of APN decreased the expression level of potent adipogenic transcription factors such as PPARγ2 and C/EBP-α. At 28 days after implantation, the Ad-APN-EGFP group revealed a significantly increased osseointegration and implant stability in OVX rats compared to the control groups (Ad-EGFP and PBS groups). CONCLUSIONS: APN via direct adenovirus-mediated gene transfer could ameliorate osseointegration surrounding titanium implants in OVX-related osteoporosis rats. Furthermore, it may be an effective strategy for promoting bone regeneration under osteoporotic conditions.

Installing bioactivity on metallic biomaterials by mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) is crucial for stimulating specific cellular responses to ultimately promote tissue regeneration. Fibronectin is an ECM protein commonly used for biomaterial functionalization. The use of fibronectin recombinant fragments is an attractive alternate to the use of full-length fibronectin because of the relatively low cost and facility of purification. However, it is necessary to combine more than one fragment, for example, the cell attachment site and the heparin binding II (HBII), either mixed or in one molecule, to obtain complete activity. In the present study, we proposed to install adhesion capacity to the HBII fragment by an RGD gain-of-function DNA mutation, retaining its cell differentiation capacity and thereby producing a small and very active protein fragment. The novel molecule, covalently immobilized onto titanium surfaces, maintained the growth factor-binding capacity and stimulated cell spreading, osteoblastic cell differentiation, and mineralization of human mesenchymal stem cells compared to the HBII native protein. These results highlight the potential capacity of gain-of-function DNA mutations in the design of novel molecules for the improvement of osseointegration properties of metallic implant surfaces.

Initiation of endogenous repair mechanisms, including key steps of stem cell recruitment and cartilage intermediate formation in endochondral ossification, is vital to regeneration of large bone defects. To biomimetically promote a rapid initiation and ensuing osteogenic stimulation, exogenous chemokine IL-8 and growth factor BMP-2 were orchestrated in a mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG)-based spatiotemporal delivery system, to achieve a rapid release of IL-8 followed by a long-term sustained release of BMP-2. The synergistic effect of IL-8 and BMP-2 on initiation stage of bone healing and underlying mechanism were thoroughly investigated in vitro and in vivo. Intriguingly, apart from its superiority in stem cell recruitment to BMP-2, IL-8 not only endowed a histological "prep-state" of endochondral ossification by up-regulating chondrogenic genes and inducing the formation of extensive cartilage tissues, facilitating rapid bone transformation by BMP-2, but also triggered a cellular "prep-state" with high expression of BMP receptors, enhancing the osteoinductivity of BMP-2. With the spatiotemporal delivery system, orchestrated signal stimuli of IL-8 and BMP-2 induced a rapid initiation including efficient stem cell recruitment and a "chondrogenic/osteogenic balance" at the first stage of endochondral ossification, and the scaffold facilitated sufficient osteoconductivity, together resulting in early extensive bone mineralization and an advanced regeneration throughout the repair of large bone defect. We believe this new idea could provide insights toward designing bone-repairing biomaterials with higher regenerative efficiency.

BACKGROUND: This study shows the relationship between host factors and environmental factors in the influence of susceptibility to loss of dental implants. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of clinical aspects and tag SNPs of the genes LTA, TNFA, and LTB with dental implant loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The subjects consisted of 244 patients, divided into two groups: control group (C)-163 individuals who did not lose any implants, being in function for at least 6 months; and study group (S)-81 individuals who had lost at least one implant. DNA was collected from saliva, and the genotypes were determined by real time PCR. Univariate and multivariate analysis were employed p < .05. RESULTS: After multivariate analysis, dental implant loss remained associated with the presence of teeth (p = .011), a larger amount of placed implants (p = .001), and allelle C of rs2009658 of the LTA gene (p = .006). For the other tag SNPs of these studied genes, there was no association between the groups C and S with dental implants loss. CONCLUSION: Presence of teeth, number of placed implants and allele C of rs2009658 of LTA gene were associated with implant loss.

Recruitment of endogenous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has been widely discussed as an alternative strategy for bone regeneration. Strontium (Sr) is known to direct the BMSCs' commitment to the bone lineage and encourage bone formation; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, an Sr-incorporated micro/nano rough titanium surface (MNT-Sr) was fabricated by hydrothermal treatment in an attempt to facilitate BMSCs' recruitment and their osteogenic differentiation to enhance rapid osseointegration. Micro rough titanium (MT) was set as the control biomaterial. In vitro, MNT-Sr and its extracts promoted the migration and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In animal studies, green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled BMSCs were intravenously injected into wild-type rats for tracing before tibial implantation surgery. The GFP+BMSC recruitment to the implantation site was successfully triggered by MNT-Sr implantation. A trend for increased bone area (BA%), bone-implant contact (BIC%) and removal torque values (RTVs) was observed for the MNT-Sr implant compared to that observed for MT at 2 weeks. Advanced mechanism analysis indicated that Sr2+ enhanced the SDF-1α/CXCR4 signaling pathway both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, these findings suggest that MNT-Sr has promising therapeutic potential for future use in dental implants by homing endogenous stem cells to stimulate bone regeneration.

Pigs are used with increased frequency to model different kinds of orthopedic surgical conditions. In order to show the full potential of porcine models in orthopedic research, it is therefore required to examine the expression of bone regulatory genes in pigs affected by orthopedic surgery and compare it to the expression in humans and mice as mice, are one of the most applied animal species in orthopedics today. In the present study, the local molecular response to drilling of a tibial implant cavity, and the subsequent insertion of a steel implant was examined in a porcine model. Pigs were euthanized five days after drilling of the bone. The molecular response of 73 different genes was analyzed using a high-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction platform and compared to histopathology. Histologically, it was found that bone remodeling was initiated on day 5 after surgery and was associated with upregulation of several genes involved in bone degradation and formation ( CTSK, ACP5, IBSP, RANK, RANKL and COL1A1). Interleukin-6 and several acute-phase proteins (C3, SAA and ITIH4) were significantly upregulated, indicating their importance in the initial process of healing and osseointegration. All tested bone morphogenic proteins (BMP2, -4 and -7) including their inhibitor noggin were also significantly upregulated. Surprisingly, vascular endothelial growth factor A was not found to be regulated five days after surgery while several other vascular growth factors (ANGPT1, ANGPT2 and PTN) were upregulated. The pig was found to be a useful model for elucidation of bone regulatory genes in humans.

BACKGROUND: As a potentially bioactive material, the widespread application of nanosized hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) in the field of bone regeneration has increased the risk of human exposure. However, our understanding of the interaction between nano-HAP and stem cells implicated in bone repair remains incomplete. METHODS: Here, we characterized the adhesion and cellular internalization of HAP nanoparticles (HANPs) with different sizes (20 nm np20 and 80 nm np80) and highlighted the involved pathway in their uptake using human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hWJ-MSCs). In addition, the effects of HANPs on cell viability, apoptosis response, osteogenic differentiation, and underlying related mechanisms were explored. RESULTS: It was shown that both types of HANPs readily adhered to the cellular membrane and were transported into the cells compared to micro-sized HAP particles (m-HAP; 12 µm). Interestingly, the endocytic routes of np20 and np80 differed, although they exhibited similar kinetics of adhesion and uptake. Our study revealed involvement of clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytosis as well as macropinocytosis in the np20 uptake. However, for np80, clathrin-mediated endocytosis and some as-yet-unidentified important uptake routes play central roles in their internalization. HANPs displayed a higher preference to accumulate in the cytoplasm compared to m-HAP, and HANPs were not detected in the nucleolus. Exposure to np20 for 24 h caused a decrease in cell viability, while cells completely recovered with an exposure time of 72 h. Furthermore, HANPs did not influence apoptosis and necrosis of hWJ-MSCs. Strikingly, HANPs enhanced mRNA levels of osteoblast-related genes and stimulated calcium mineral deposition, and this directly correlated with the activation in c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38 pathways. CONCLUSION: Our data provide additional insight about the interactions of HANPs with MSCs and suggest their application potential in hard tissue regeneration.

AIM: The present study was conducted to determine different bone markers in immediate loaded and nonloaded dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It comprised of 60 patients (males-30, females-30) which were divided into two groups of 30 each. Group I received immediate loaded dental implants, and group II received non-loaded dental implants. Modified bleeding on probing index, peri-implant sulcus depth was assessed in both groups at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 4 months. The crevicular fluid was obtained to determine bone markers levels such as transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-a), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). RESULTS: Both groups revealed non-significant difference in modified bleeding on probing index and peri-implant sulcus depth (p > 0.05). Bone markers found to be elevated more in group I as compared to group II. However, the difference was non- significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-a), OCN, OPN, OPG and PTH and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were higher in immediate loaded dental implants as compared to nonloaded dental implants. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Immediate loaded dental implants showed an increase in expression of bone markers such as TNF-a, OCN, OPN, PTH and OPG which may be useful in deciding future of immediate loaded dental implants.

The natural pure compound obtusilactone A (OA) was identified in Cinnamomum kotoense Kanehira & Sasaki, and shows effective anti-cancer activity. We studied the effect of OA on osteogenesis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). OA possesses biocompatibility, stimulates Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) activity and facilitates mineralization of BMSCs. Expression of osteogenesis markers BMP2, Runx2, Collagen I, and Osteocalcin was enhanced in OA-treated BMSCs. An in vivo rat model with local administration of OA via needle implantation to bone marrow-residing BMSCs revealed that OA increased the new bone formation and trabecular bone volume in tibias. Micro-CT images and H&E staining showed more trabecular bone at the needle-implanted site in the OA group than the normal saline group. Thus, OA confers an osteoinductive effect on BMSCs via induction of osteogenic marker gene expression, such as BMP2 and Runx2 expression and subsequently elevates ALP activity and mineralization, followed by enhanced trabecular bone formation in rat tibias. Therefore, OA is a potential osteoinductive drug to stimulate new bone formation by BMSCs.
