Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the in vitro osteoinductivity of the combination of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) and the in vivo effects of implants coated with nHAp/BMP-2. Materials and Methods: To evaluate the in vitro efficacy of nHAp/BMP-2 on bone formation, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were seeded onto titanium disks coated with collagen (Col), Col/nHAp, or Col/nHAp/BMP-2. Protein levels were determined by a biochemical assay and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Stem cell differentiation was analyzed by flow cytometry. For in vivo studies with mice, Col, Col/nHAp, and Col/nHAp/BMP-2 were injected in subcutaneous pockets. Titanium implants or implants coated with Col/nHAp/BMP-2 were placed bilaterally on rabbit tibias and evaluated for 4 weeks. Results: In the in vitro study, BM-MSCs on Col/nHAp/BMP-2 showed reduced levels of CD73, CD90, and CD105 and increased levels of glycosaminoglycan, osteopontin, and alkaline phosphatase activity. After 4 weeks, the Col/nHAp/BMP-2 implant showed greater bone formation than the control (P=0.07), while no differences were observed in bone implant contact and removal torque. Conclusion: These results suggest that a combination of BMP-2 and an nHAp carrier would activate osseointegration on dental implant surfaces.

Although previous studies have demonstrated that BMP9 is highly capable of inducing osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, the molecular mechanism involved remains to be fully elucidated. In this study, we showed that BMP9 simultaneously promotes the activation of Smad1/5/8, p38 and ERK1/2 in C3H10T1/2 cells. Knockdown of Smad4 with RNA interference reduced nuclear translocation of Smad1/5/8, and disrupted BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation. BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation was blocked by p38 inhibitor SB203580, whereas enhanced by ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059. SB203580 decreased BMP9-activated Smads singling, and yet PD98059 stimulated Smads singling in C3H10T1/2 cells. The effects of inhibitor were reproduced with adenovirus expressing siRNA targeted p38 and ERK1/2, respectively. Taken together, our findings revealed that Smads, p38 and ERK1/2 are involved in BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation. Also, it is noteworthy that p38 and ERK1/2 may play opposing regulatory roles in mediating BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in combination with stem cells gain more significance for their use in bone tissue engineering. The mesenchymal stem cell can be differentiated into osteoblast by the treatment of BMP. The aim of this study is to characterize the osteogenic differentiation process of adult stem cells derived from buccal fat pad according to BMP-2 within culture media and decide the appropriate concentration of BMP-2 to facilitate osteogenesis. The authors procured the stem cell from buccal fat pad and analyzed for presence of stem cell by flow cytomety against CD-34, CD-105 and STRO-1. The buccal fat derived stem cells (BFDC) were treated by application of the different concentration with BMP-2 of 0, 10, 50, 100 and 200ng/ml, respectively. And their ability to differentiate into osteogenic pathway were checked by alkaline phosphatase(ALP) staining, Alizarin red staining and RT-PCR for osteocalcin(OC) gene expression at 7, 14 and 21day of culture. Flow cytometric analysis and biochemical assays demonstrated that BFDC might be a distinguished stem cells, and mineralization was accompanied in proportion to BMP-2 concentration. However, with 100ng/ml concentration of BMP-2, the BFDC demonstrated most efficient staining pattern of ALP and Alizarin red. The feasibility of the osteogenic differentiation in the group of both 50ng/ml and 200ng/ml of BMP-2 showed similar activity and relatively weaker than that of 100ng/ml. These results suggest that the BMP-2 stimulate osteogenesis by BFDC effectively and that bone induction might be controlled through negative regulatory feedback in higher concentration.

The most important factor for successful implantation is osseointegration between the implant and bone. The expression of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) inducing bone formation would differ after maxillary sinus elevation. And within the same graft material. the expression of BMPs would change with time after graft. The aim of this study was to compare the relative expressions of BMP4 and BMP6 using real-time RT-PCR when maxillary sinus elevation was performed using deproteinated bovine bone powder (DBBP) as the graft material or absorbable gelatin sponge (AGS) as the filler without any graft material. Fifteen rabbits, each weighing between 3.0 to 3.5 Kg, were divided randomly into 5 groups of 3 animals each based on their time of sacrifice 0, 3, 5, 7 and 9 days). After exposure of the maxillary sinus bilaterally, bone graft was performed in the right maxillary sinus using DBBP ($BBP^{(R)}$ Oct Inc., Cheonan, Korea) and only AGS ($Gelfoam^{(R)}$ Pharmacia & Upjohn Company, Kalamazoo, MI, U.S.A) was placed into the left without any graft material. Each group of rabbits was sacrificed at 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 days after operation and all specimens were harvested. And the following results were obtained using real-time RT-PCR from isolated total RNA of the samples. 1. The expression of BMP4 increased at postoperative 1 and 3 days in both DBBP group and AGS group. In AGS group. it decreased at postoperative 5 days. increased again at postoperative 7 days, and decreased at postoperative 9 days. In DBBP group, it increased until postoperative 7 days and decreased at postoperative 9 days. Although the expression of BMP4 was higher in DBBP group compared with AGS group, it was not statistically significant (p>0.05). 2. The expression of BMP6 increased at postoperative 1 and 3 days in both DBBP group and AGS group. In AGS group, it decreased at postoperative 5 days, increased again at postoperative 7 days, and decreased at postoperative 9 days. In DBBP group, it increased until postoperative 7 days and decreased at postoperative 9 days. Although the expression of BMP6 was higher in AGS group compared with DBBP group, it was not statistically significant (p>0.05). 3. There was no statistically significant difference in BMP expression in both groups during same period of time. It' s probably because DBBP and AGS both functioned as a space retainer so that the BMP expression in blood clot seemed to be similar. 4. Thus, DBBP would not offer many benefits for early bone regeneration compared with AGS. The expression of BMP in early bone formation seems to be more influenced by physical carrier rather than the graft type.

농림부는 농업지역에서 발생하는 비점오염원을 관리하기 위해 다양한 최적관리기법(BMP)에 대해 연구를 수행하여 효과를 검증하였으나 이를 광역 단위로 보급하여 실제 영농지역에서 BMP의 효과를 측정한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 논 지역을 대상으로 물관리기술(물꼬)과 시비관리기술(완효성 비료) BMP를 보급하고 광역 단위로 BMP의 효과를 측정하고자 하였다. 연구대상지구는 새만금 지역에 위치한 전라북도 부안군 용계리 일대에 위치하고 있으며, 벼농사가 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 지역을 선정하였다. 논에 보급된 BMP의 효과를 측정하기 위해 BMP 참여 농가를 선정하여 물꼬와 완효성 비료를 보급하였으며, 용수로와 배출구 3지점을 선정하여 관개량을 측정하고 유출량을 측정하였다. 또한 관개수와 대조구, 처리구별(대조구, 물꼬, 완효성, 물꼬+완효성) 수질을 분석하여 배출구 별로 단위면적당 오염부하량을 산정하고 이를 통해 대조구 대비 처리구의 저감율을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 대조구 대비 처리구의 단위면적당 오염부하량의 저감율은 SS 63.6%, BOD 45.5%, $COD_{Mn}$ 26.5%, $COD_{Cr}$ 40.1%, T-N 16.0%, T-P 12.9%, TOC 11.4%로 나타났다. 또한 연구대상지구를 SO#1(완효성 비료 95%, 비참여 농가 5%), SO#2(완효성 비료 2%, 물꼬 8%, 완효성 비료+물꼬 40%, 비참여 농가 40%), SO#M(완효성 비료 96%, 비참여 농가 4%) 3개의 배출구로 구분하여 BMP 보급 효과를 측정한 결과, 대조구 대비 SO#1에서는 수질항목별로 10.6 ~ 85.5%, SO#2는 8.1 ~ 45.9%, SO#M은 10.7 ~ 86.2%의 범위로 저감된 것으로 분석되었으며, 특히 SS의 단위면적당 오염부하 저감율이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 본 연구는 7월부터 10월까지 측정된 데이터를 활용하여 산정하였기 때문에 써레질, 이앙기간에 발생한 단위면적당 오염부하량은 포함되지 않은 결과이며, 각 배수구역별 유입량의 경우 정확한 측정에 어려움이 있어 전체 관개량 대비 관개 면적을 이용하여 단위면적당 유입량을 산정하였기 때문에 추가적인 연구를 통해 효과를 검증할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Bone morphogenetic protein(BMP) and platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) have been demonstrated tostimulate bone formation when applied locally in vivo. To explore whether or not the combined use of BMP and PDGF could have promotive effect and synergic interaction on bone formation in vivo, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were treated with BMP-2, PDGF-BB, or BMP-2 plus PDGF-BB, and then these cells were injected into the subcutaneous space on the dorsum of nude mice. The bone formation was evaluated after 12 weeks. Histomorphometric analysis demonstrated that the subcutaneous nodules formed in nude mice contained 25.3% newly formed bone in the BMP-2 treated cells, 14.4% newly formed bone in the PDGF-BB treated cells, and 8.9% newly formed bone in the RMP-2 plus PDGF-BB treated cells. The results showed that the combination of BMP-2 and PDGF-BB had neither a promotive effect nor synergic interact on bone formation in vivo.

Purpose: To investigate the expression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2/4 during eary tooth development after irradiation and calcium-deficient diet. Materials and Methods: The pregnant three-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used for the study. The control group was non-irradiation/normal diet group (Group 1), and the experimental groups were irradiation/normal diet group (Group 2) and irradiation/calcium-deficient diet group (Group 3). The abdomen of the rats at the 9th day of pregnancy were irradiated with single dose of 350 cGy. The rat pups were sacrificed at embryonic 18 days, 3 days and 14 days after delivery and the maxillae tooth germs were taken. The tissue sections of specimen were stained immunohisto-chemically with anti-BMP-2/4 antibody. Results: At embryo-18 days, immunoreacivity for BMP-2/4 of the Group 1 was modetate in stratum intermedium of dental organ and weak in dental papilla and dental follicle, but that of Group 2 was weak in cell layer of dental organ, and no immunoreacivity was shown in dental papilla and dental follice of Group 2 and in all tissue components of the Group 3. At postnatal-3 days, immunoreacivity for BMP-2/4 of the Group 1 was strong in cell layer of dental organ, odontoblasts and developing alveolar bone, but that of Group of 2 and Group 3 was weak in odontoblasts and developing alveolar bone. At postnatal-14 days, immunoreacivity for BMP-2/4 of the Group 1 was strong in newly formed cementum, alveolar bone and odontoblasts, but that of Group 2 was weaker than that of Group 1. In the Group 3, tooth forming cell layer showed weak immunoreactivity, but other cell layers showed no immunoreactivity. Couclusion : The expression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2/4 during early tooth development was disturbed after irradiation and calcium-deficient diet.

Bone morphogenetic protein-2/4 are members of Transforming Growth Factor-$\beta$(TGF-$\beta$) superfamily and they may induce formation of cartilage and bone in vivo. This study was performed to investigate the cellular target and period of action of BMP-2/4 and understanding of actions of BMP-2/4 at cellular level. The appearance of BMP-2/4 during healing of mandibular and periodontal defect in rat was evaluated immunohistochemically. 40 Sprague-Dawley strain white male rats, each weighing about 300gm were used. Bony defect was performed in the mandible and they were sacrificed at the day of 3rd, 10th, 20th, 30th after operation. The specimens were harvested and examined histologically and immunohistochemically by localization of anti-BMP-2/4. The results were as follows: 1. Woven bone was observed at 10th day and perfect healing of defect with compact bone and periodontal ligment space at 30th day. 2. Osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblastic cells and periosteum were positive reaction to immunohistochemical stain at 10th day. 3. Cells of bone marrow space and surface cells of osteocytes and cementoblasts were positive reaction to immunohistochemical stain at 20th day. 4. Newly formed osteocytes and cementocytes were positive reaction to immunohistochemical stain at 30th day. From the above findings, we could conclude that BMP-2/4 acted significant roles as factors of induction, proliferation and differentiation during bone healing process.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine 1) the bone-regenerative effect of porcine bone block materials with or without collagen matrix incorporation, 2) the effect of a collagen barrier, and 3) the effect of adding recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to the experimental groups. Methods: Four treatment modalities were applied to rabbit calvaria: 1) deproteinized bovine bone mineral blocks (DBBM), 2) porcine bone blocks with collagen matrix incorporation (PBC), 3) porcine bone blocks alone without collagen matrix incorporation (PB), and 4) PBC blocks covered by a collagen membrane (PBC+M). The experiments were repeated with the addition of rhBMP-2. The animals were sacrificed after either 2 or 12 weeks of healing. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), histologic, and histomorphometric analyses were performed. Results: Micro-CT indicated adequate volume stability in all block materials. Histologically, the addition of rhBMP-2 increased the amount of newly formed bone (NB) in all the blocks. At 2 weeks, minimal differences were noted among the NB of groups with or without rhBMP-2. At 12 weeks, the PBC+M group with rhBMP-2 presented the greatest NB (P<0.05 vs. the DBBM group with rhBMP-2), and the PBC and PB groups had greater NB than the DBBM group (P>0.05 without rhBMP-2, P<0.05 with rhBMP-2). Conclusions: The addition of rhBMP-2 enhanced NB formation in vertical augmentation using bone blocks, and a collagen barrier may augment the effect of rhBMP-2.
