Reconstruction of segmental bone defects poses a tremendous challenge for both orthopedic clinicians and scientists, since bone rehabilitation is requisite substantially and may be beyond the capacity of self-healing. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been identified as an optimal progenitor cell source to facilitate bone repair since they have a higher ability for proliferation and are more easily accessible than mature osteoblastic cells. In spite of the potential of BMSCs in regeneration medicine, particularly for bone reconstruction, noteworthy limitations still remain in previous application of BMSCs, including the amount of cells that could be recruited, the compromised bone migration of grafted cells, reduced proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation ability, and likely tumorigenesis. Our current work demonstrates that BMSCs transplanted through the caudal vein can be mobilized by erythropoietin (EPO) to the bone defect area and participate in regeneration of new bone. Based on the histological analysis and micro-CT findings of this study, EPO can dramatically promote the effects on the osteogenesis and angiogenesis efficiency of BMSCs in vivo. Animals that underwent EPO+BMSC administration demonstrated a remarkable increase in new bone formation, tissue structure organization, new vessel density, callus formation, and bone mineral density (BMD) compared with the BMSCs alone and control groups. At the biomechanical level, we demonstrated that combing transplantation of EPO and BMSCs enhances bone defect reconstruction by increasing the strength of the diaphysis, making it less fragile. Therefore, combination therapy using EPO infusion and BMSC transplantation may be a new therapeutic strategy for the reconstruction of segmental bone defect.

Segmental Bone

Clinically, in patients who sustain severe open fractures, there is not only a segmental bone defect needed to be reconstructed but also insufficient healing capacity due to concomitant damages to the periosteum and surrounding soft tissues. For studying the reconstruction of bone defects associated with massive loss of periosteum and surrounding soft tissues, there are no well-established preclinical models in large animals in the literature. The purpose of the study was to generate a large animal model of bone defect with massive periosteum loss and to adopt a tissue engineering approach to achieve rapid bony union with stem cells and biomaterials. In this study, a bone defect with massive periosteum stripping was generated in pigs, which was followed by emptying nearby canal marrow including fat and cancellous bone. The stripped periosteum was a mimic to the situation in the Gustilo type 3 open fractures. Bone defects were then reconstructed by impacting the biocompatible ceramic scaffold, morselized tricalcium phosphate (TCP) loaded with human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Radiological and pathological assessments indicated that TCP and hMSCs synergistically promoted bone healing with increased lamination and ingrowth of vessels. Both bridging periosteum formation and gap filling were induced rapidly. In conclusion, a porcine model of segmental bone loss with damage of surrounding periosteum was created. Reconstruction of such defects with hMSCs and TCP achieved rapid union of bone defects associated with massive periosteal stripping.
