タイトル Stimulation of ectopic bone formation in response to BMP-2 by Rho kinase inhibitor: a pilot study.
ジャーナル Clin Orthop Relat Res
Abstract The small GTPase Rho and Rho-associated protein kinase (Rho kinase, ROCK) signal participates in a variety of biological functions including vascular contraction, tumor invasion, and penile erection. Evidence also suggests Rho-ROCK is involved in signaling for mesenchymal cellular differentiation. However, whether it is involved in osteoblastic differentiation is unknown. We therefore asked whether Rho-ROCK signaling participates in recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2)-induced osteogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. Continuous delivery of a specific ROCK inhibitor (Y-27632) enhanced ectopic bone formation induced by rhBMP-2 impregnated into an atelocollagen carrier in mice without affecting systemic bone metabolism. Treatment with Y-27632 also enhanced the osteoblastic differentiation of cultured murine neonatal calvarial cells. These effects were associated with increased expression of BMP-4 gene. Expression of a dominant negative mutant of ROCK in ST2 cells promoted osteoblastic differentiation, while a constitutively active mutant of ROCK attenuated osteoblastic differentiation and the ROCK inhibitor reversed this phenotype. Thus, ROCK inhibits osteogenesis, and a ROCK inhibitor in combination with the local delivery of rhBMP/collagen composite may be clinically applicable for stimulating bone formation.
