Molecular and biological mechanisms of reparative osteogenesis

Fracture consolidation is a complex of biological process that passes through a series of successive stages and ends by a bone formation in the zone of fractures. At this time, various researchers distinguish between three to five stages (phases) of fractures consolidation. Reparative osteogenesis depends on the general factors (age, sex, hypovitaminosis, anemia, etc.) and local factors (disturbances of blood circulation at the place of fracture, the stability of fixation of bone fragments and presence of bone defects) and has a complex regulation. Consolidation of bone fractures occurs by primary or secondary repair. The regulation of reparative osteogenesis occurs at the systemic and local levels. Biological substances that are involved in local regulation of bone repair are divided into three groups: proinflammatory cytokines, growth factors and angiogenic factors.

Previously we have established the prolonged increasing of proinflammatory cytokines in the blood at intramedular osteosynthesis in dogs. It began from the first day after surgery and taking of peak on the 10th day – for TNF-α, and taking of peak on the 30th day – for IL-1β. At the same time, the maximum concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10, was observed only at the 30th day, that indicated an imbalance of antagonistic cytokine systems at the stage of osteoinduction in case of classical intramedullary osteosynthesis methodology. In turn, uncontrolled cytokine reaction causes endothelial dysfunction and leads to hyperactivation primary and secondary hemostasis, which can complicate of reparative osteogenesis. In this case, the most powerful osteoinductors are bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) that stimulate a mesenchymal stem cells differentiation into osteoblasts. Thus, in mice with inactivated mutation of BMP-2 bone callus are not formed.

Angiogenic factors play a leading role in vascularization of bone callus/ This process regulated by angiopoietins and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Angiopoietin, especially 1 and 2, is a vascular morphogenetic protein, their expression induces vessel grows in the callus from the vessels of the periosteum.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play an important role in the process of reparative osteogenesis. They fall into the area of trauma from the bone marrow and systemic circulation and differentiate thru chondrogenicor osteogenic ways. The first cellular elements that are detected at the site of the injury are neutrophils. They secrete a numerous of cytokines that regulate the inflammation, proliferation and cell differentiation. This process regulates by IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α which secreted by macrophages and inflammatory cells and stimulates a chemotaxis.

Subsequently, the blood cells are degrade making new fibrin-rich tissue in a hematoma, which converts into a soft callus.On animals models (rabbits, rats) the peak of callus formation occurred on 7-9 days. During this period, a bone cuff begins to form around the broken bone and performs stabilization of the fracture zone.This is due regarding cells proliferation of the bone cambial layer of bone marrow, osteogenic cells of the periosteum, osteons, and endosteum.

A new bone tissue formation depends on number of mesenchymal stem cells. In this case, the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) and the members of this superfamily β2, -β3, and GDF-5 plays an important role and regulate chondrogenesis and endochondral ossification.

The third stage of reparative osteogenesis regulated by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), TNF-α, RANKL and ORG, which initiate resorption of mineralized cartilage. At the same time, they stimulate the activity of bone cells, accelerating the formation of bone tissue. The process of remodeling is accompanied by a decrease in the activity of growth factors – TGF-b1 -b3, GDF-10 and most of bone morphogenetic proteins. In this case, there is an increase in the activity of IL-1, TNF-α, and BMP-2, which locally regulate reparative osteogenesis during this period.

However, only recently, the specific biochemical markers of bone metabolism: alkaline phosphatase and its bone isoenzymes, osteocalcin, c-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase have been proposed for evaluation of bone tissue metabolism. We conducted the initial comprehensive assessment of specific biochemical markers in the dynamics of the use of hydroxyapatite materials in case of bone defects replacing in dogs.
