Relevance. The effect of a tissue engineering construct based on synthetic octacalcium phosphate activated with plasmid DNA with vascular endothelial growth factor gene on bone morphogenesis at the jaw defect sites of patients was studied. It is shown that the studied osteoplastic material stimulates osteosynthesis pathways already at early stages, and xenogenic hydroxyapatite, triggers osteogenesis processes with considerable delay and does not have time to form a full-fledged bone structure by 6 months.Aim. Evaluate the dynamics of reparative osteogenesis based on the results of histomorphometric diagnostics in patients with defects in the jaw bones of various configurations and lengths with an implanted bone matrix based on synthetic octacalcium phosphate activated with plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid with genes of vascular endothelial growth factor.Materials and methods. Histomorphological examination of bone tissue biopsy of jaws was carried out in 50 patients of both genders, who needed additional volume of bone tissue to install dental implantation. Patients were divided into 2 groups by type of grafted material. 6 months after the surgery, bone biopsies were taken from the bone sites at the stage of implant placement. Histomorphological patterns and histomycrophotograms were studied in bone biopcies.Results. In bone tissue biopsies of patients implanted with a tissue engineering construct based on synthetic octacalcium phosphate activated with plasmid DNA with vascular endothelial growth factor gene, it was revealed that after 6 months there was prevaluation of mature bone tissue (42,71%), with the proportion of differentiated plate bone tissue being < 90%.Conclusions. Histomorphometric analysis showed that in patients implanted with a tissue engineering construct based on synthetic octacalcium phosphate activated with plasmid DNA with vascular endothelial growth factor gene, after 6 months, early rearrangement of bone tissue into a mechanically dense and highly mineralized structure was detected.

Bone tissue is dependent on an efficient blood supply to ensure delivery of nutrients and oxygen. One method to acquire a vascular-engineered bone tissue could be the use of an angiogenic gene-activated scaffold. In the current study, porous chitosan/hydroxyapatite (C/HA) scaffolds were fabricated via freeze-drying with desired pore size, and then combined with the adenoviral vector encoding vascular endothelial growth factor and green fluorescence protein (Ad-VEGF). Human osteoblasts were cultured and seeded on characterized scaffolds. The attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of cells on gene-activated and unactivated C/HA scaffolds were evaluated in vitro and in vivo by histo- and immunohistochemistry. Findings confirmed that human osteoblasts cultured on gene-activated C/HA scaffold secreted vascular endothelial growth factor, besides maintaining its characteristic phenotype with specific extracellular matrix production. In vivo experiments indicated that scaffolds were tissue biocompatible, and that gene-activated scaffold provided a suitable environment for neovessel formation by recruiting host endothelial cells into the newly forming ectopic bone-like tissue. This study revealed that the Ad-VEGF-activated C/HA composite scaffold has potential for vascular bone regeneration applications.
