Sonoporation Increases Therapeutic Efficacy of Inducible and Constitutive BMP2/7 In Vivo Gene Delivery

Abstract: An ideal novel treatment for bone defects should provide regeneration without autologous or allogenous grafting, exogenous cells, growth factors, or biomaterials while ensuring spatial and temporal control as well as safety. Therefore, a novel osteoinductive nonviral in vivo gene therapy approach using sonoporation was investigated in ectopic and orthotopic models. Constitutive or regulated, doxycycline-inducible, bone morphogenetic protein 2 and 7 coexpression plasmids were repeatedly applied for 5 days. Ecto… Show more

“…Results of this study highlight the importance of promoting non-viral gene transfer by alternative methods. Currently sonoporation or electroporation seem to be the most promising strategies in terms of safety, efficacy and minimal invasiveness [9,[29][30][31]. Further studies are needed to clarify if those strategies are capable to increase bone growth in a clinical relevant segmental bone defect model.…”

“…Application of BMP2 and BMP7 plasmids in fibrin GAMs without cationic polymer lead to variable results in bone volume without sufficient new bone formation to bridge the femoral critical size defect. It indicates a potential advantage of delivering BMP2 and 7 transgenes in fibrin gels for tissue regeneration if enhanced by methods such as the recently developed matrix-assisted sonoporation [33] or methods without application of biomaterials relying only on physical stimuli for gene delivery such as sonoporation or electroporation [9,31]. Black and grey areas represent unions and narrow unions respectively.…”

“…Feichtinger et al . (25) used microbubble-enhanced, ultrasound-mediated gene delivery of BMP-2 and BMP-7 in a femur nonunion model in rats. Despite successfully inducing gene overexpression and ectopic bone formation using repetitive treatments, they could not induce significant orthotopic bone formation in a fracture site.…”

“…Although ultrasound-mediated BMP gene delivery was shown to induce ectopic bone formation in vivo (2527), previous attempts at fracture repair were not successful (25). Here, we hypothesized that microbubble-enhanced, ultrasound-mediated gene delivery of a BMP gene would lead to efficient bone regeneration and fracture healing in a clinically relevant, large animal model (porcine).…”

“…Among the numerous bone tissue engineering approaches, gene therapy offers a promising alternative for sustained release of osteoinductive and/or angiogenic factors, and may be achieved by direct in vivo delivery [29] or ex vivo delivery combined with cell therapy [6]. The majority of these studies have used small animals such as mice, rats or rabbits (for review see Refs.…”
