Objectives : This study was performed to examine the effect of Yukmigiwhang-tang kamibang, a mixture of oriental herbal extracts, on the transcription of bone fonnation genes, BMP4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4) and TG2 (transglutaminase-2). Methods : Bone-related cells, MG-63 (human male osteosarcoma), HOS-TE85 (human female osteosarcoma), and KG-l (bone marrow) were cultured with portions of Yukmigiwhang-tang kamibang and the transcription activities of bone-related genes, BMP4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4) and TG2 (transglutaminase-2), were determined by Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Results : Transcription of BMP4 gene in HOS-TE85 cell increased up to 40% at 0.3% (v/v) of Yukmigiwhang- tang kamibang extract and that of TG2 gene in MG-63 cells also increased up to 40% at 0.3-0.4% of the same extract. Although it was less significant when compared to those in other cells, the transcription of BMP4 gene in KG-l cells also increased up to 10 to 25%. Conclusions : These results clearly demonstrated that Yukmigiwhang-tang kamibang have an effect on transcription activity of bone-related genes, TG2 and BMP4, suggesting that it may play an important role in bone formation.

Many bioactive molecules like recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) have been developed for mineralized bone grafts, for which proper scaffolds are necessary to successfully apply the bioactive molecules. In this study, we tested the osteogenic efficacy of rhBMP-2 produced in-house in combination with gelatin sponge as the scaffold carrier in a rabbit radial defect model. The efficacy of the rhBMP-2 was determined by alkaline phosphatase activity assay of C2C12 cells. Two groups of ten rabbits each were treated with rhBMP-2/gelatin sponge, or gelatin sponge only. At 4 weeks, rhBMP-2/gelatin sponge grafts showed more bone regeneration than gelatin sponge grafts, as determined by X-ray radiography, micro-computed tomography, and histological analyses. At 8 weeks, rhBMP-2/gelatin sponge grafts exerted much stronger osteogenic effects. The study demonstrates the improved osteogenic efficacy of the rhBMP-2/gelatin sponge grafts in a rabbit radial bone defect model acting as a bone-inductive material.

A new field in dental implantology is developing with the goal of finding new ways to improve the osteoconductivity of bone substitutes and to study new molecules able to dictate cellular differentiation and improve bone regeneration. The real future in bone regeneration seems to be in connection with the rhBMP-2s, currently obtained by synthesis using recombinant DNA. Since the first rhBMP-2 studies in humans by Boyne, There are many studies for bone regeneration at oral and maxillofacial area. The rhBMP-2 is widely used at sinus augmentation, alveolar bone defect, and socket preservation.

Purpose: High levels of bone morphogenetic protein (BMPs) have been reported in patients with lung cancer. This study was conducted to assess correlations between serum BMP-2 levels and prognostic outcome in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Blood samples from 84 patients with advanced NSCLC and 42 healthy controls were analyzed and quantitated for serum BMP-2 levels before and after two cycles of chemotherapy using a commercially available ELISA kit. Results: The median level of BMP-2 was 146.9 pg/ml in patients with NSCLC vs. 87.7 pg/ml in healthy controls (P<0.01). A significant correlation was observed between pretreatment serum BMP-2 level and ECOG PS, disease stage and number of organs with metastases (P<0.05). Serum BMP-2 level decreased significantly in patients who achieved objective response after two cycles of chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis showed that increased BMP-2 level and advanced clinical stage were significantly correlated with poor prognosis. Conclusion: Thes erum BMP-2 level is positively correlated with clinical stage, ECOG PS and metastatic burden and may serve as an independent negative predictor for prognosis. Decreased BMP-2 after chemotherapy could be a reliable marker for efficacy of treatment.

암 환자의 방사선 치료는 환자의 생존 수명을 연장하기 위해 사용한다. 그러나 방사선 조사 후 피폭으로 인해 정상적인 조직 재생은 치명적인 장해를 수반한다. 방사선 치료 후 발생 할 수 있는 장해는 골세포와 골대사 메커니즘에 결정적인 방사선 장해를 수반하여 방사성골괴사가 발생된다. 따라서 방사성골괴사를 극복하기 위해 방사선 장해의 극복을 위한 조직재생의 연구가 필수적으로 대두된다. 이번 연구에서는 골재생의 대표적인 사이토카인 단백질인 BMP-2가 방사성조사 쥐 두개골 모델에서 골재생의 효과가 있는지 또한 몇 주부터 골재생 효과가 많이 발생되는지를 검증하고자 하였다. 결론적으로 방사선이 조사된 쥐의 두개골 결손모델에서는 8주가 지나야 BMP-2의 효과가 더욱더 효과적으로 발생하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 만일 BMP-2 가 처리된 지지체를 방사선골괴사 치료제로 사용한다면 단시간에 골 재생 효과를 기대하는 것보다는 8주 이상의 시간이 경과 후 골재생 효과를 기대해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 산림유역의 일시하천과 간헐천이 상존하는 수변지역을 대상으로 산림벌채로 인한 토양의 교란 정도를 평가하고, 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화 양상을 파악하였다. 총 12개 소유역에서 4개의 처리구(BMP1, BMP2, 개벌구, 대조구)를 적용하였으며, 각 처리구별 벌채 전 후 1년 동안의 모니터링 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 벌채 후 산정된 교란등급은 벌채강도와 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 조사된 토양의 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화와 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나, 용적밀도 및 공극률의 변화와는 일치하지 않았다. 전면개벌은 강도 높은 지표교란을 야기 시켰으며, 이로 인해 조공극률 및 투수계수는 감소, 토양강도는 증가하였고, 이는 토양의 침식의 간접적인 원인으로 작용하였다. 개벌구에서 강도 높은 지표 교란으로 야기된 토양의 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화는 BMP1과 BMP2에서 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 벌채 후 BMP2에 남겨진 벌채잔재물은 지표의 피복기능으로서의 침식을 완화하는 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The preclinical and clinical studies reviewed herein show that rhBMP-2 induces normal physiologic bone in relevant defects in the craniofacial skeleton. The newly formed bone assumes characteristics of the adjacent resident bone, and allows placement and osseointegration of dental implants. Clearly, the bone inducing capacity of rhBMP-2 is carrier and site dependent. rhBMP-2 in an absorbable collagen sponge carrier induces relevant bone formation in space providing defects. Space providing carries extends this possibility to non-space providing sites. Notably, some ceramic and polymeric biomaterials may substantially interfere with rhBMP-2 induced osteogenesis.

PURPOSE. This study was performed to investigate the ability of recombinant human-bone morphogenic protein-2 immobilized on a heparin-grafted bone substrate to enhance the osteoblastic functions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$, not coated with any material, was used as a control group. In rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ group, rhBMP-2 was coated with Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ using only deep and dry methods (50 ng/mL, 24 h). In heparinized rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ group, dopamine was anchored to the surface of Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$, and coated with heparin. rhBMP-2 was immobilized onto the heparinized- Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ surface. The release kinetics of the rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ and heparinized rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ were analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The biological activities of the MG63 cells on the three groups were investigated via cytotoxicity assay, cell proliferation assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) measurement, and calcium deposition determination. Statistical comparisons were carried out by one-way ANOVA test. Differences were considered statistically significant at $^*$P<.05 and $^{**}$P<.001. RESULTS. The heparinized rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ showed more sustained release compared to the rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ over an extended time. In the measurement of the ALP activity, the heparinized group showed a significantly higher ALP activity when compared with the non-heparinized groups (P<.05). The MG63 cells cultivated in the group with rhBMP-2 showed increased calcium deposition, and the MG63 cells from the heparinized group increased more than those that were cultivated in the non-heparinized groups. CONCLUSION. Heparin increased the rhBMP-2 release amount and made sustained release possible, and heparinized Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ with rhBMP-2 successfully improved the osteoblastic functions.

Purpose: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is a potent differentiating agent for cells of the osteoblastic lineage. It has been used in the oral cavity under a variety of indications and with different carriers. However, the optimal carrier for each indication is not known. This study evaluated the bone regenerative effect of rhBMP-2 delivered with different carrier systems. Materials and Methods: 8 mm critical-sized rat calvarial defects were used in 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into 6 groups containing 10 animals each. Two groups were controls that had no treatment and absorbable collagen membrane only. 4 groups were experimentals that contained rhBMP-2 only and applied with absorbable collagen sponge($Collatape^{(R)}$), $MBCP^{(R)}$, Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ each. The histological and histometric parameters were used to evaluate the defects after 2- or 8-week healing period. The shape and total augmented area were stable in all groups over the healing time. Results: New bone formation was significantly greater in the rhBMP-2 with carrier group than control group. rhBMP-2/ACS was the highest in bone density but gained less new bone area than rhBMP-2/$MBCP^{(R)}$ and rhBMP-2/Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$. The bone density after 8 weeks was greater than that after 2 weeks in all groups. However, rhBMP-2 alone failed to show the statistically significant difference in new bone area and bone density compared to control group. Also $MBCP^{(R)}$ and Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ particles remained after 8 weeks healing period. Conclusion: These results suggest that rhBMP-2 with carrier system is an excellent inductive agent for bone formation and we can use it as the predictable bone tissue engieering technique. Future study will likely focus on the kinetics of BMP release and development of carriers that is ideal for it.

We hypothesized that plaque-associated bacteria may have a role in maintenance of alveolar bone. To test it, immortalized gingival epithelial HOK-16B cells were co-cultured with live or lysed eight plaque bacterial species and the expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 and -4 were examined by real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Un-stimulated HOK-16B cells expressed both BMP-2 and -4. Co-culture with plaque bacterial lysates had significant effects on the level of BMP-2 but not on that of BMP-4. Five species including Streptococcus sanguinis, S. gordonii, Veillonella atypica, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Treponema denticola substantially up-regulated the level of BMP-2. In contrary to the upregulatory effect of lysate, live T. denticola suppressed the expression of BMP-2. In addition, in vitro osteoblastic differentiation assay using C2C12 cells and the conditioned medium of HOK-16B cells confirmed the production of BMPs by gingival epithelial cells and the modulation of BMP expression by the lysates of S. sanguinis and T. denticola. In conclusion, we have shown that plaque bacteria can regulate the expression of BMP-2 by gingival epithelial cells, the physiologic meaning of which needs further investigation.
