The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteoinductive capacity of a poloxamine (Tetronic(®) 908, T) and α-cyclodextrin (αCD) supramolecular gel (T-CD) as scaffold in a critical size defect in rat calvaria. The T-CD gel was evaluated solely and after being loaded with simvastatin (SV) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2) separately and in combinations in order to reduce the doses of the active substances. Three doses of SV (7.5, 75, 750 μg) and two doses of BMP-2 (3 and 6 μg) were tested. The histology and histomorphometrical analysis showed improved bone repair with T-CD compared to T, probably due to better release control of both SV and BMP-2. In addition, as T-CD eroded more slowly than poloxamine alone, it remained longer in the defect site. Although synergism was not obtained with BMP-2 and SV, according to the observed regeneration of the defect, the dose of BMP-2 and SV can be reduced to 3 μg and 7.5 μg, respectively.
本研究旨在评估聚氧乙烯醚(Tetronic®908,T)和α-环糊精(αCD)超分子凝胶(T-CD)作为支架在大鼠颅骨临界尺寸缺损中的成骨能力。T-CD 凝胶仅进行了评估,并在单独和分别加载辛伐他汀(SV)和骨形态发生蛋白(BMP-2)以及组合加载的情况下进行了评估,以减少活性物质的剂量。测试了三种剂量的 SV(7.5、75、750μg)和两种剂量的 BMP-2(3 和 6μg)。组织学和组织形态计量学分析表明,与 T 相比,T-CD 可改善骨修复,这可能是由于 SV 和 BMP-2 的释放控制更好。此外,由于 T-CD 比单独的聚氧乙烯醚侵蚀更慢,因此它在缺陷部位停留的时间更长。尽管 BMP-2 和 SV 没有协同作用,但根据观察到的缺陷再生,BMP-2 和 SV 的剂量可以分别减少至 3μg 和 7.5μg。
