BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous findings suggest that the growth and differentiation factor midkine (Mdk) is a negative regulator of osteoblast activity and bone formation, thereby raising the possibility that a specific Mdk antagonist might improve bone formation during fracture healing.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: In the present study, we investigated the effects of a monoclonal anti-Mdk antibody (Mdk-Ab) on bone healing using a standardized femur osteotomy model in mice. Additional in vitro experiments using chondroprogenitor and preosteoblastic cells were conducted to analyse the effects of recombinant Mdk and Mdk-Ab on differentiation markers and potential binding partners in these cells.
KEY RESULTS: We demonstrated that treatment with Mdk-Ab accelerated bone healing in mice based on increased bone formation in the fracture callus. In vitro experiments using preosteoblastic cells showed that Mdk-Ab treatment abolished the Mdk-induced negative effects on the expression of osteogenic markers and Wnt/β-catenin target proteins, whereas the differentiation of chondroprogenitor cells was unaffected. Phosphorylation analyses revealed an important role for the low-density lipoproteinLDL receptor-related protein 6 in Mdk signalling in osteoblasts.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: We conclude that Mdk-Ab treatment may be a potential novel therapeutic strategy to enhance fracture healing in patients with orthopaedic complications such as delayed healing or non-union formation.
