BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate potential synergistic effects of a single, local application of human umbilical cord MSC-derived sEVs in combination with a low dose of recombinant human rhBMP-2 to promote the regeneration of a metaphyseal femoral defect in an osteoporotic rat model.
METHODS: 6 weeks after induction of osteoporosis by bilateral ventral ovariectomy and administration of a special diet, a total of 64 rats underwent a distal femoral metaphyseal osteotomy using a manual Gigli wire saw. Defects were stabilized with an adapted Y-shaped mini-locking plate and were subsequently treated with alginate only, or alginate loaded with hUC-MSC-sEVs (2 × 109), rhBMP-2 (1.5 µg), or a combination of sEVs and rhBMP-2 (n = 16 for each group). 6 weeks post-surgery, femora were evaluated by µCT, descriptive histology, and biomechanical testing.
RESULTS: Native radiographs and µCT analysis confirmed superior bony union with callus formation after treatment with hUC-MSC-sEVs in combination with a low dose of rhBMP-2. This finding was further substantiated by histology, showing robust defect consolidation 6 weeks after treatment. Torsion testing of the explanted femora revealed increased stiffness after application of both, rhBMP-2 alone, or in combination with sEVs, whereas torque was only significantly increased after treatment with rhBMP-2 together with sEVs.
CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that the co-application of hUC-MSC-sEVs can improve the efficacy of rhBMP-2 to promote the regeneration of osteoporotic bone defects.
