INTRODUCTION: Angiogenesis and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote osteogenesis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-7) promoted osteoinduction could be enhanced by combining it with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or MSCs in highly porous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: BCP ceramic blocks were implanted in an ectopic site in 24 mice (BMP-7 vs. BMP-7/VEGF; BMP-7 vs. BMP-7/MSCs and BMP-7 vs. Control; each group n=8). Specimens were analysed 12 weeks after surgery by environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and Giemsa staining. RESULTS: In all implanted scaffolds, newly formed bone was observed, even in the control site. No statistical differences in the amount of new bone were found in the presence of BMP-7 compared to BMP-7/VEGF (p=1.0) or BMP-7/MSCs (p=0.786). ESEM revealed a degradation of the scaffolds. A higher degradation was observed in areas where no bone-implant contact was present compared to areas where the ceramic was integrated in newly formed bone. CONCLUSIONS: Neither VEGF nor MSCs enhanced BMP-7 induced bone formation under the selected conditions. The present ceramic seemed to be osteoinductive and degradable, making this material suitable for bone tissue engineering. Copyright 2010 European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery.
