Self-assembled polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) fabricated from heparin and protamine were deposited on alginate beads to entrap and regulate the release of osteogenic growth factors. This delivery strategy enables a 20-fold reduction of BMP-2 dose in spinal fusion applications. This article illustrates the benefits and fabrication of PECs.
在骨重建手术,生长因子超生理金额经验装上支架,以促进成功的骨融合。大剂量的高度有效的生物制剂的需要,由于生长因子的不稳定性如快速酶降解的结果,以及在植入物位点定位足够量的生长因子的载体的低效率。因此,该延长的生长因子的稳定性,如BMP-2 / NELL-1,并控制其释放策略实际上可以降低其有效剂量,从而减少了需要更大的剂量期间未来骨再生手术。反过来,这将减少副作用和生长因子的成本。自组装胸肌已经制造通过增强的体内稳定性通过肝素结合,并进一步使可能生长因子的生物活性提供的BMP-2 / NELL-1递送的更好的控制。在这里,我们说明了PEC制造这有助于在国内配送简单的过程中重建骨手术的各种生长因子RY。
假的发病率已经报道高达10〜45%,在退化性脊柱融合和修订脊柱手术1。以减少脊柱融合和其他重建骨手术,骨生长因子如BMP-2,内尔-1 1和血小板衍生的生长因子(PDGF)已被引入,以促进从头成骨过程中假关节的速度。其中,BMP-2是脊柱融合2的热门选择。虽然BMP-2的诱导和促进新骨形成的效力已被很好地建立3;临床显著并发症,如异位骨形成,血清肿和血肿形成,炎症反应,神经根,椎体骨溶解和逆行射精继续关注的问题,由于使用的4,5超生理金额。
因此,降低的BMP-2的剂量保持在一个相关的策略引诱最小化的副作用。此外,需要有效的载体系统来抑制BMP-2在当代胶原海绵载波系统观察到的突释,并进一步加强这种有效的细胞因子的长期和本地化交货。交替阳离子和阴离子聚电解质的层-层自组装,可以用作建立脚手架基质或植入材料6的表面上的聚电解质复合物的可调谐方法。在这方面,肝素(对于具有所有生物剂的最高负电荷密度已知)已被识别为贪婪地通过静电和肝素结合结构域的多种生长因子结合。的确,肝素已经显示出延长的半衰期,从而使可能的多种生长因子的生物活性。
在此基础上,我们的组适于层 – 层自组装协议来制造基于肝素的聚电解质复合物(PEC),该负载和固定7,8中保留了成骨生长因子的生物活性。藻酸盐微球芯由交联的α-L-古洛糖醛酸盐(G),用二价阳离子钙或锶离子藻酸盐的残基制成。藻酸盐核心是可生物降解的支架基质;该植入后,它是在融合床提供余地骨向内生长吸收。聚-L-赖氨酸(PLL)或鱼精蛋白被用作阳离子层与两个支架矩阵(在这种情况下,藻微珠载体芯)和带负电的肝素隔行;而阴离子肝素层的功能,以稳定和定位加载生长因子。三重层的PEC已经显示出增加的生长因子负载能力在猪模型9。最近,PEC载体已显示出至少20倍的成功减少在大鼠10和脊骨融合8的猪模型的BMP-2的有效剂量。
ntent“>在这里,用BMP-2作为模型骨生长因子,我们报告脊柱融合增强生长因子交付和其他骨重建手术制造佩奇方法。该协议提出了通过层 – 层自组装制备的PEC的方法。的层 – 层结构,使用鱼精蛋白,肝素,BMP-2和NELL-1和共聚焦显微镜的荧光类似物可视化。吸收和释放试验表明,肝素对PEC介导成骨生长因子的吸收和释放。在PEC方法的摄取效率是:NELL-1:86.7±2.7%,BMP-2:70.5±3.1%。在PEC载体具有NELL-1(20%)释放的更好的调制相比,纯表面吸附载体如钙磷灰石颗粒(40-80%)11。
