Resumo
This study evaluated the effects of the Biosilicate((R)) and poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolic) acid composites on bone repair in a tibial bone defect model in rats by means of using histological evaluation (histopathological and morphometric analysis) and gene expression analysis. Eighty male Wistar rats (12weeks old, weighing +/- 300g) were randomly divided into two groups: Biosilicate((R)) group (BG) and Biosilicate((R))/PLGA group (BG/PLGA). Each group was euthanized at 3, 7, 14, and 21days after surgery (n=10 animals per time point). The main findings showed that the incorporation of PLGA into BG had a significant effect on the morphological structure of the material, accelerating mass loss, decreasing the pH and increasing the calcium release. Furthermore, histologic analysis revealed that the BG/PLGA showed increased material degradation, accompanied by higher bone formation compared to BG, after 21days of implantation. In addition, qRT-PCR analysis showed that BG/PLGA induced an upregulation of the osteogenic genes related to BMP4, Runx2, ALP, and OC. These results show that the present BG/PLGA composite may be used as a bone graft for inducing bone repair. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
