Effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected with angiopoietin-1 on the renovation and neovascularization of bone defects in rabbits

BACKGROUND: Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) plays an important role in vascular reconstruction and wound renovation. However, its effect on bone renovation in tissue engineering and neovasclarization has not been well studied.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transfected with Ang-1 on the renovation of bone defects in rabbits.DESIGN: An auto-control experimental study was conducted.SETTING and PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was completed at the Animal Experimental Center of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Thirty healthy New Zealand rabbits of six months were treated.INTERVENTION: The rabbit BMSCs cultivated in vitro were transfected with pCDNA3-Ang-1 plasmid mediated by liposome and combined with tricalcium hosphate (TCP) ceramics to renovate the long segmental bone defects (15 mm) in rabbit radii. The untransfected BMSCs were used as auto-control.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The growth of BMSCs combined with TCP materials were observed by electromicroscope scanning and the capillary growth and new bone formation detected by histological methods. The local blood supply and the metabolism were analyzed by SPECT.RESULTS: The growth of BMSCs combined with TCP materials was favorable in experimental group. The capillary growth and new bone formation were active as shown by histological examination and the local blood supply was abundant with active metabolism detected by SPECT. The 99Tcm radiocounting was 67.74 ± 17.29, 87.39 ±22. 42, 93.51 ±24.25, 116. 43 ±28.67 respectively in experimental group and 35.33 ± 14. 48, 51.67 ±17.36, 72.47 ±22. 13, 89.79 ±24.71 in control group 4, 8, 12, 24 weeks after the implantation. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant ( t = 2. 80 - 4.22, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The increase of blood supply and acceleration of bone renovation in the experimental group are related to the local oriented release of cell factors, which enhance the formation of blood vessels and bone metabolism. Artificial bone pre-constructed by BMSCs transfected with Ang-1 can accelerate the renovation of bone defects.
