This study was designed to optimize the preparation of delayed-release microcysts containing bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) combined with poly(lactic- co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and to investigate their osteogenic properties when combined with rat autologous micromorselized bone and collagen. Rat autologous micromorselized bone, collagen and BMP-2/PLGA delayed-release microcysts were implanted in various combinations into the rat gluteus maximus muscle sack model. The following post-operative measurements were made: general observations of the implant site, histological observations, osteogenesis measurements and alkaline phosphatase activity. Autologous micromorselized bone combined with collagen and BMP-2/PLGA delayed-release microcysts demonstrated significantly superior osteogenic properties than any of the other combinations of these three components. These findings suggest that micromorselized bone combined with collagen and BMP-2/PLGA delayed-release microcysts could reduce the quantity of BMP-2 and autologous bone required for these procedures, making their use feasible in human bone restoration.

Artificial eardrums made from biodegradable poly(D, L-lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid) and poly(ß-benzyl-L-aspartate-co-L-leucine) 50/50, and made from the microporous poly(tetrafluoroethylene) and bisphenol-A poly(carbonate) membranes were implanted into the ear and as a reference subcutaneously in rats. The implants were histologically examined for periods up to one year. From the biodegradable polymers studied the poly(ß-benzyl-L-aspartate-co-L-leucine) 50/50 evoked the least tissue reaction and the newly formed tympanic membranes are the best in terms of thickness and overall integrity. The microporous poly(tetrafluoroethylene) membrane can be considered as a valuable support for the formation of a reinforced tympanic membrane.

Recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (rhBMP2) has important applications in the spine fusion and ortho/maxillofacial surgeries. Here we first report the secretory expression of biological active dimerized rhBMP2 fromBacillus subtilissystem. The mature domain of BMP2 gene was amplified from pTz57R/BMP2 plasmid. By using pHT43 expression vector two constructs, pHT43-BMP2-M (single BMP2 gene) and pHT43-BMP2-D (two BMP2 genes coupled with a linker to produce a dimer), were designed. After primary cloning (DH5αstrain) and sequence analysis, constructs were transformed intoBacillus subtilisfor secretory expression. Expression conditions like media (2xYT) and temperature (30°C) were optimized. Maximum 35% and 25% secretory expression of monomer (~13 kDa) and dimer (~25 kDa), respectively, were observed on SDS-PAGE in SCK6 strain. The expression and dimeric nature of rhBMP2 were confirmed by western blot and native PAGE analysis. For rhBMP2 purification, 200 ml culture supernatant was freeze dried to 10 ml and dialyzed (Tris-Cl, pH 8.5) and Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (6 ml, Resource Q column) was performed. The rhBMP2 monomer and dimer were eluted at 0.9 M and 0.6 M NaCl, respectively. The alkaline phosphatase assay of rhBMP2 (0, 50, 100, 200, and 400 ng/ml) was analyzed on C2C12 cells and maximum 200 ng/ml activity was observed in dose dependent manner.
