Enhanced Control of In Vivo Bone Formation with Surface Functionalized Alginate Microbeads Incorporating Heparin and Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2

Abstract: In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a surface functionalization delivery platform incorporating heparin onto strontium alginate microbeads surfaces would convert this "naive carriers" into "mini-reservoirs" for localized in vivo delivery of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) that will induce functional bone regeneration. In vitro evaluation confirmed that (1) heparin incorporation could immobilize and prolong rhBMP-2 release for approximately 3 weeks; (2) a significant decrease (… Show more

“…This observation is consistent with our previous finding of controlled and contained new bone tissue deposition in rat posterolateral spinal fusion studies with PECs as opposed to collagen carriers. 13 Further evidence of new bone containment in this large-animal ALIF model was obtained via 3D reconstructed m-CT images viewed from the axial projection showing large bone tissue deposition extending anteriorly beyond the implanted scaffold in collagen as opposed to PEC carriers ( b F7 Fig. 7).…”

“…This therefore brings to light the importance of large-animal models in preclinical evaluations as single-layered PECs evaluated previously were able to deliver rhBMP-2 that induced consistent posterolateral spinal fusion in rodents. 13,17 In this study, negatively charged heparin interacted with PLL, a positively charged polyamino acid (via electrostatic, Coulomb, interaction), to form PEC deposits as matrices suitable for rhBMP-2 sequestration and immobilization. This self-assembled polyelectrolyte matrix could be tailored to deliver rhBMP-2 and produce comparable, if not superior, interbody spinal fusion when compared to absorbable collagen sponges.…”

“…[19][20][21] Differing from absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) that delivers BMP-2 by physical adsorption, PEC is tailored to deliver BMP-2 by electrostatic binding and it could prevent elution of the growth factor. In previous studies, glycosaminoglycan molecules such as heparin and heparan sulphate have been explored to deliver labile proteins and cytokines.…”
