- Abstract
- Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is considered an effective growth factor for bone formation, and is used for making osteo-inductive scaffolds, but the related clinical investigations have shown low success rates. In this study, we genetically manipulated teratoma-derived fibroblast (TDF) cells by simultaneous introduction of BMP-2 and herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) encoding genes. Self-production of BMP-2 in TDF cells strongly enhanced the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium content, and elevated the mRNA expression of osteogenic marker genes during in vitro osteogenesis. The bone formation volume was also remarkably enhanced in calvarial and femoral critical-size defect models. Ganciclovir (GCV) treatment induced apoptosis in TDF cells co-expressing HSV-tk and BMP-2, implying that HSV-tk suicide gene can modulate the side-effects of stem cell therapy, e.g., development of uncontrollable teratoma and tumor formation. Altogether, our findings revealed a safe and highly efficient technique with potential therapeutic applications for bone regeneration.
