A cell-based combination product for the repair of large bone defects

Regenerative cell-based implants using periosteum-derived stem cells were developed for the treatment of large 3 cm fresh and 4.5 centimeter biological compromised bone gaps in a tibial sheep model and compared with an acellular ceramic-collagen void filler. It was hypothesized that the latter is insufficient to heal large skeletal defects due to reduced endogenous biological potency. To this purpose a comparison was made between the ceramic dicalciumphosphate scaffold (CopiOs®) as such, the same ceramic coated with clinical grade Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 and 6 (BMP) only or a BMP coated cell-seeded combination product. These implants were evaluated in 2 sheep models, a fresh 3 cm critical size tibial defect and a 4.5 cm biologically exhausted tibial defect. For the groups in which growth factors were applied, BMP-6 was chosen at a dose of 344 μg for 3 cm and 1.500 μg or 3.800 μg for 4.5 cm defects. An additional group in the 4.5 cm defect was tested using BMP-2 in a dose of 1.500 μg. For all the cell based implants autologous periosteum-derived cells were used which were cultured in monolayer during 6 weeks. For the fresh defect 408 million cells and for the biologically exhausted tibial defect 612 million cells were drop-seeded on the BMP coated scaffolds. Bone healing was studied during 16 weeks postimplantation, using standard radiographs. While fresh defects responded to all treatments, regardless the use of cells, the biologically hampered defects responded in half of the cases and only if the BMP-cell combination product was used, supporting the concept that cell-based therapies may become attractive in treating defects with a compromised biological status.
