| Outline of Research at the Start |
広範囲骨欠損は治療に難渋する。本研究ではゲル剤の特性を利用した多孔質材料への迅速な細胞、成長因子導入法の確立と新規材料を用いた骨欠損治療法の開発を目指す。多孔質人工骨への迅速な細胞、成長因子導入法による難治性骨折治療法の確立を目指し、1. 多孔質材料への細胞、成長因子導入に適した硬化ゲルの開発、2. マウス、ラット骨欠損モデルを用いたシーズの有用性の検討、3. 実用化に向けたヒト細胞を用いた検証を行う。

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the effectiveness of in situ-formed gels (IFGs) consisting of hyaluronan (HyA)-tyramine (TA), horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide enhance the bone formation ability of hydroxyapatite (Hap)/BMP-2 composites for facilitating osteogenesis in refractory fracture model mice. After establishing the refractory fracture model, animals were either treated at the site of fracture with IFGs-HyA with Hap harboring BMP-2 (IFGs-HyA/Hap/BMP-2). We determined the extent of bone formation at the fracture site according to findings on micro-computed tomography and histological experiments. Animals treated with IFGs-HyA/Hap/BMP-2 demonstrated significantly greater bone volume, bone mineral content and bone union than those treated with vehicle or IFG-HyA/Hap alone. IFGs-HyA/Hap/BMP-2 could be an effective treatment option for refractory fractures.
