Abstract
BACKGROUND:
In recent years it has been reported that ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) can inhibit the myogenic differentiation of myoblast in vitro to maintain the dedifferentiated status of myoblasts. Myoblasts transfected with CNTF can be used as seed cells for tissue-engineered bone, which combined with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) under certain conditions can promote the repair of bone defects.
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of transfergene myoblasts in combination with BMP to repair radius defects in rabbits through sodium hyaluronate (HA) gel as a carrier.
METHODS:
At aseptic conditions, about 1.0 cm segmental bone defect was produced in the middle of rabbit radius, which was bridged with a 1.4 cm silica tube. Different inserts were implanted into the tube: myoblasts transfected with CNTF and BMP using the HA gel as a carrier (experimental group); BMP only compounded with the HA gel (control group); only HA gel implant group (blank group).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:
The animal experiments showed that the results of X-ray test, general observation, and pathohistological observation were better in the experimental group than the control and blank groups, and also better in the control group than the blank group. With GTR membrane as a silicone tube, HA gel compound transgenic myoblasts with BMP are feasible to construct a a new type tissue-engineered bone which has good effect on the repair of radius defects.
