To study the effect of periostin gene on bone regeneration and mineralisation during distraction osteogenesis (DO) in a rabbit mandibular model.
A total of 54 New Zealand white rabbits underwent mandibular lengthening and were divided into group A and group B (n=27, each). At the end of the distraction, adenoviruses containing human POSTN/enhanced green fluorescent protein (Ad5-POSTN/EGFP) viruses or Ad5-POSTN viruses were injected into the distraction gaps in the group B or A, respectively. On the 4th and 8th week after distraction, eight samples, randomly selected from each group, were subjected to CT scanning and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry detection. All animals from each group were sacrificed for micro-CT, histology, and three-point bend testing eight weeks after DO.
The CT images showed that callus in the distraction gap of group B was significantly better than that of group A. On the 4th and 8th weeks, the bone mineral densities (BMD) of the bone tissue in the distraction gap of the group B were 0.163±0.011g/cm and 0.239±0.024g/cm, respectively, while the bone mineral contents (BMC) was 0.099±0.011g and 0.205±0.018g, respectively, which were significantly higher compared with group A. Histological sections showed that the trabecular bone in the distraction gap of group B was more coarse. On the basis of micro-CT images and micro-architecture parameters show that the microstructure of the distraction gap of the group B had more mature characteristics. The biomechanical strength of the distracted gap in the group B was 234.30±30.48N, which was 1.28 times higher than that in the group A (P=0.003).
Local transduction with human periostin gene would promote osteogenesis and mineralisation in a rabbit mandibular DO model. Periostin might be considered for clinical use if only there is a safe and effective administration method.
研究外骨膜蛋白(periostin)基因在兔下颌骨牵张成骨(distraction osteogenesis,DO)过程中对骨再生和矿化的影响。
54 只新西兰白兔行下颌骨延长术,随机分为 A、B 两组(每组 27 只)。牵张结束时,B 组和 A 组分别向牵张间隙内注射携带人 POSTN/增强型绿色荧光蛋白(enhanced green fluorescent protein,EGFP)的腺病毒(adenoviruses containing human POSTN/EGFP,Ad5-POSTN/EGFP)和 Ad5-POSTN 病毒。在牵张后第 4、8 周,每组各随机抽取 8 个样本进行 CT 扫描和双能 X 线吸收法(dual energy X-ray absorptiometry,DXA)检测。所有动物于 DO 后 8 周处死,进行 micro-CT、组织学和三点弯曲试验。
CT 图像显示 B 组牵张间隙内的骨痂明显优于 A 组。第 4、8 周时,B 组牵张间隙内骨组织的骨密度(bone mineral density,BMD)分别为 0.163±0.011g/cm3 和 0.239±0.024g/cm3,骨矿含量(bone mineral content,BMC)分别为 0.099±0.011g 和 0.205±0.018g,均明显高于 A 组。组织学切片显示 B 组牵张间隙内的小梁骨更粗。基于 micro-CT 图像和微结构参数,B 组牵张间隙的微观结构具有更成熟的特征。B 组牵张间隙的生物力学强度为 234.30±30.48N,是 A 组的 1.28 倍(P=0.003)。
局部转染人外骨膜蛋白基因可促进兔下颌骨 DO 模型的成骨和矿化。如果有安全有效的给药方法,外骨膜蛋白可能会被考虑用于临床。
