In vitro and in vivo optimization of impaction allografting by demineralization and addition of rh-OP-1

Description
Summary:Impaction allografting is a bone tissue engineering technique currently used in lower limb reconstruction orthopedic surgery. Our hypothesis was that biological optimization can be achieved by demineralization and addition of osteogenic protein‐1 (OP‐1) to the allograft. The objective of our in vitro study was to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) proliferation (Alamar Blue assay, titrated thymidine assay, total DNA Hoechst 33258, and scanning electron microscopy) and osteogenic differentiation (alkaline phosphatase assay) in two types of impacted carrier, namely, demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and insoluble collagenous bone matrix (ICBM), with or without OP‐1. The objective in vivo was to compare the osteogenic potential of impacted DBM with or without OP‐1, with that of impacted fresh frozen allograft (FFA), again with or without OP‐1. DBM + OP‐1 optimized osteoinduction and significantly improved (p
