Alveolar bone is not spontaneously regenerated following trauma or periodontitis. We previously proposed an animal model for new alveolar bone regeneration therapy based on the non-viral BMP-2/7 gene expression vector and in vivo electroporation, which induced the formation of new alveolar bone over the course of a week. Here, we analysed alveolar bone during a period of three weeks following gene transfer to periodontal tissue. Non-viral plasmid vector pCAGGS-BMP-2/7 or pCAGGS control was injected into palatal periodontal tissue of the first molar of the rat maxilla and immediately electroporated with 32 pulses of 50 V for 50 msec. Over the following three weeks, rats were double bone-stained by calcein and tetracycline every three days and mineral apposition rates (MAR) were measured. Double bone-staining revealed that MAR of alveolar bone was as similar level three days before BMP-2/7 gene transfer as three days after gene transfer. However, from 3 to 6 days, 6 to 9 days, 9 to 12 days, 12 to 15 days, 15 to 18 days, and 18 to 20 days after, MARs were significantly higher than prior to gene transfer. Our proposed gene therapy for alveolar bone regeneration combining non-viral BMP-2/7 gene expression vector and in vivo electroporation could increase alveolar bone regeneration potential in the targeted area for up to three weeks.

Abstract We investigated DNA transport in the interstitial space and across cell membrane facilitated by intratumoral infusion and in vivo electroporation, respectively. In the study, a rat fibrosarcoma was perfused ex vivo, and apparent hydraulic conductivity (Kapp) was quantified under different perfusion conditions. In addition, three plasmid DNA vectors were infused into solid tumors. Immediately after infusion, tumors were treated with or without electric pulses. Gene expression and tumor growth delay were determined at different time points after electroporation. We found that Kapp was very sensitive to the perfusion pressure, presumably due to perfusion-induced tissue deformation. Treatment of tumors with electric pulse facilitated gene expression in vivo. The growth of tumors treated with plasmid DNA encoding interleukin 12 (IL-12) and electric pulses was slower than those treated with IL-12 or electric pulses alone. These data suggest that gene delivery in solid tumors could be improved significantly through combination of intratumoral infusion and in vivo electroporation.
