BACKGROUND
Bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) has previously been characterized as one of the most osteogenic growth factors of the BMP-family, however, up until now, these experiments have only been demonstrated using adenovirus-transfection experiments (gene therapy). With the recent development of recombinant human (rh)BMP9, the aim of the present study was to investigate its osteopromotive potential versus rhBMP2 when loaded onto a collagen membrane.
METHODS
ST2 stromal bone marrow cells were seeded onto 1)control; 2)rhBMP2-low(10ng/ml); 3)rhBMP2-high(100ng/ml); 4)rhBMP9-low(10ng/ml); and 5)rhBMP9-high(100ng/ml) porcine collagen membranes. Groups were then compared for cell adhesion at 8 hours, cell proliferation at 1, 3 and 5 days real-time PCR at 3 and 14 days for genes encoding Runx2, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and bone sialoprotein(BSP) at 3 and 14 days and alizarin red staining at 14 days.
RESULTS
While rhBMP2 and rhBMP9 demonstrated little effects on cell attachment and proliferation, pronounced increases were observed on osteoblast differentiation. It was found that all groups significantly induced ALP mRNA levels at 3 days and BSP levels at 14 days, however rhBMP9-high demonstrated significantly higher values when compared to all other groups for ALP levels (5-fold increase at 3 days and 2-fold increase at 14 days). Alizarin red staining further revealed that both concentrations of rhBMP9 induced up to 3-fold more staining when compared to rhBMP2.
CONCLUSION
These results indicate that the combination of collagen membranes with rhBMP9 significantly induced significantly higher ALP mRNA expression and alizarin red staining when compared to rhBMP2. These findings suggest that rhBMP9 may be a suitable growth factor for future regenerative procedures in bone biology.
