To experimentally evaluate the ectopic osteogenetic capacity of synthesized BMP2-derived peptide P24 combined with poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), Wistar rats were divided into two groups: group A, in which BMP2-derived peptide P24/PLGA complex was implanted,and group B which received simple PLGA implant. The complex was respectively implanted into the back muscles of rats. Samples were taken the 1 st, 4 th, 8 th, and the 12 th week after the implantation.Their bone formation was detected by X-ray examination, and tissue response was histologically observed. West blotting was used for the detection of the expression of collagen Ⅰ (Col- Ⅰ ) and osteopontin (OPN). There was acute inflammation in the tissue around both types of implants at early stage. The cartilage was found around implant areas 4 weeks after the implantation of BMP2-derived peptide p24/PLGA complex, 8 weeks after the implantation, osteoblasts were found, and 12 weeks after the implantation, typical trabecular bone structure was observed. In group B, after 12 weeks, no osteoblasts were found. It is concluded that PLGA is an ideal scaffold material for bone tissue engineering. BMP2-derived peptide can start endochondral ossification and is more effective in inducing ectopic osteogenesis.
