abstract = {Aim: To prepare new pharmaceutical forms with sustained delivery properties of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP2) for tissue engineering and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) use.
Methods: rhBMP2-loaded dextran-based hydrogel microspheres (rhBMP2-MPs), which aimed to keep rhBMP2 bioactivity and to achieve long-term sustained release of rhBMP2, were prepared by double-phase emulsified condensation polymerization. The physical, chemical performances and biological characteristics of those microspheres were studied both in vitro and in vivo.
Results: The microspheres' average diameter was 30.33plusminus4.32 mum with 75.4% ranging from 20 mum to 40 mum and the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency were 7.82% and 82.25%, respectively. The rhBMP2-releasing profiles in vitro showed that rhBMP2 release could be maintained more than 10 d. The rhBMP2-MPs, with good swelling and biodegradation behavior, could be kept for 6 months at below 4°C without significant characteristic change or bioactivity loss. Cytology studies showed that rhBMP2-MPs could promote the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) approximately 10 d, while the bioactivity of concentrated rhBMP2 solution could keep no more than 3 d. Scanning electron microscope showed that rhBMP2-MPs could be enchased into the porous structure of calcium phosphate ceremic (CPC) and the eugonic growth of PDLCs in CPC/rhBMP2-MPs scaffolds. Animal experiments indicated that using CPC/rhBMP2-MPs scaffolds could gain more periodontal tissue regeneration than using rhBMP2 compound firsthand with CPC (CPC/rhBMP2).
Conclusion: By encapsulating rhBMP2 into dextran-based microspheres, a small quantity of rhBMP2 could achieve equivalent effects to the concentrated rhBMP2 solution and at the same time, could prolong rhBMP2 retention both in vitro and in vivo.},
