ABSTRACT
The role of rhFGF-2 soaked polymer membrane
for enhancement of guided bone regeneration

(Directed by Professor Young-Bum Park)
Purpose : The purposes of this study are to confirm the role of FGF-2 in bone
regeneration by adding various concentrations of FGF-2 to the collagen
membrane and applying it to the BCP bone graft site for guided bone
regeneration, to explore the potential of collagen membrane as FGF-2 carrier,
and to determine the optimum FGF concentration for enhancement of bone
regeneration.
Methods : 4 bone defects of 8mm in diameter was created in 18 New Zealand
rabbits calvaria. After BCP bone graft, graft material was covered with collagen
membranes adding various concentration of FGF-2, and then sutured. The
concentration of FGF-2 was set at 1.0mg/ml, 0.5mg/ml, 0.1mg/ml, and same
amount of saline was used in the control group. To confirm the bone regeneration
2
over time, six New Zealand rabbits were sacrificed each at 2,4, and 12 weeks,
and the amounts of new bone and residual bone graft material were analyzed by
histologic and histomorphometric analysis. Qualitative analyses are also
conducted through immunohistochemistry, TRAP and Russell-Movat
pentachrome stain.
Results and Conclusion : As the healing period increased, the formation of new
bone increased and the amount of residual graft material decreased in all groups.
Immunohistochemistry, TRAP and pentachrome staining showed that the
addition of FGF-2 promoted bone regeneration in all experimental groups. But, it
was not confirmed whether FGF addition enhanced bone formation. It was also
confirmed that polymer collagen membrane can be used as a useful carrier of
FGF-2 when enhanced early stage of new bone formation is required.

I. INTRODUCTION
Guided bone regeneration(GBR) was introduced to the field of dentistry in
order to restore the bone defect around the implant,1 and it shows relatively good
results.2,3 However, the polymer membrane used in clinic, which is an important
factor in GBR, only plays a passive role in bone regeneration, because the
membrane only acts as a barrier, it does not directly affect bone formation.4
Therefore, the effect depends on the inherent healing power in the host, so the
4
larger the bone defect, the harder it becomes to heal. In addition, it takes more
than six months to obtain adequate clinical results, and the degree of ossification
is often questionable.5 As a consequence, various attempts have been made to
enhance bone regeneration ability.
Much of the study on maximizing bone regeneration had been performed on
growth factors, and in fact, growth factors play an important role in the
development of teeth and surrounding tissues. Among them, Bone morphogenic
protein (BMP) and Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) play an important role in bone
development and fracture healing process that occur naturally in the body and
their temporal and spatial manifestations are known to regulate the extent of limb
growth and bone formation.6 FGF is known to induce proliferation, chemotaxis,
and angiogenesis of undifferentiated ectodermal cells and it is also known to act
as an important regulator of periodontal ligament regeneration and bone
formation in the body.7-10 Also, in the absence of FGF-2 gene, both bone quality
and quantity decreased.11 Several studies using FGF-2 showed increased bone
regeneration and new bone formation.4,12-15 These studies show that FGF-2
plays an important role in bone regeneration in the body. FGF is the protein first
found in bovine pituitary gland in 1974, which strongly induces proliferation of
fibroblast.16 The action of FGF-2 increases laminin mRNA expression, which is
important for angiogenesis, and increases synthesis of Osteopontin, Hyaluronan.
It also increases early osteogenic marker, Cbfa-1.17-20 Conversely, the synthesis
5
of type Ⅰ collagen and the synthesis of osteocalcin, a late osteogenic marker, are
reduced. Alkaline phosphatase activity associated with osteogenic differentiation
levels also decreases.17,18,21 This phenomenon is interesting because FGF-2
increases the proliferation of immature mesenchymal cells, but also reduces the
differentiation and matrix synthesis of osteoblastic cells. In other words, although
not directly involved in osteogenesis, proliferation of immature mesenchymal
cells is sufficiently achieved at the early stage of osteogenesis, resulting in an
advantageous environment for continuous bone formation.
There have been two clinical trials on humans. In the case of periodontal disease
with 2 or 3 wall bony defects, it was reported that the bone regeneration effect
was significantly increased at a concentration of 0.3% FGF -2 when the various
concentration of FGF-2 was applied topically. Root resorption, ankylosis, and
epithelial migration were not found and there were no systemic side effects.22,23
However, although there have been reports of successful bone regeneration with
only FGF-2 alone without bone graft, in the case of large bone defects, only the
application of FGF-2 alone has a limitation on the bone regeneration.
In order to maximize bone regeneration effect of FGF-2, carriers that can slowly
and efficiently release FGF-2 are also important. In the past, viscous gel type
carriers were used for simplicity of application in periodontal surgery. This
method involves direct application to the periodontal tissue, in which gelatin is
disintegrated, so FGF is released in consistent manner. Although it has been
6
simple and successful in several experiments, this approach has the problem that
FGF-2 can easily migrate to other sites and disperse. Recently, various methods
have been introduced. It was reported that collagen minipellets contained FGF-2
inside and 80% of the total FGF was gradually released within 7 days.24 A
method of folding and wrapping FGF-2 containing collagen sponge was also
introduced.25 Santana et al.4 introduced polylactide carriers. A 0.8-mm-thick
polylactide membrane containing 5μg of FGF-2 released high concentrations of
FGF-2 over a period of one week.
As the whole process of bone formation is affected by the temporal flow of
various factors and FGF-2 acts in time-dependent manner,18,26 it can be
anticipated that proper amount of FGF-2 should be administered at an
appropriate time as well as an appropriate carriers to improve bone formation
ability. Throughout our previous study (data not shown), we have identified that
a consistent concentration of FGF-2 release (more than 100ng/ml of FGF-2) was
maintained for 7 days when collagen membrane with a size of 10×20 ㎟ soaked
in 50µL of FGF-2(1mg/ml) was used as a carrier. Compared with the above
mentioned study24,25,4 ,the release amount of our previous study was sufficient, so
in this study, we set 3 different concentration of FGF-2(1.0mg/ml, 0.5mg/ml,
0.1mg/ml). Therefore, based on our previous study, the purposes of this study are
to confirm the role of FGF-2 in bone regeneration by adding various
concentrations of FGF-2 to the collagen membrane and applying it to the BCP
7
bone graft site, and to determine the optimum FGF-2 concentration for bone
regeneration.

II. MATERIALS AND METHODS
1. In vitro release kinetics of FGF-2
In order to evaluate the release kinetics of FGF2, a collagen membrane with a
size of 10×20 ㎟ soaked in 50µL of FGF-2(1mg/ml) was prepared and using
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) kit(Abcam, Cambridge, UK), the
release was measured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sample
was inserted into a 100µL PBS solution maintaining 37°C, 100µL PBS solution
was collected at 1,3,5,7,12-th hour and 1,3,5,7-th day, and replaced with a new
100µL PBS solution. The concentration released from the collected PBS solution
was measured using ELISA reader(Molecular devices. Workingham, UK) at 450
nm wavelength.
2. Animals and materials
A. Experimental animals
18 New Zealand white rabbits weighing 3-3.5 kg aged 16~20 weeks were
prepared. The animals were fed with a standard laboratory diet in a purpose-
designed room for experimental animals. All animal care and treatment protocols
9
followed the routines approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee, Yonsei
Medical Center, Seoul, Korea.
B. Materials
Osteon II (Genoss, Suwon, Korea) was used for biphasic calcium phosphate
(BCP). The ratio of Hydroxyapatite(HA)and β-Tricalcium phosphate(β-TCP) is
30:70, and has porous structure. Pore size is 250 μm, porosity is 70%, and each
particle size is 0.5 ~ 1.0mm. The appropriate volume for a bone defect size of 8
mm in the rabbit calvaria was 70 mg and the same volume was used for each
bone defect.
rhFGF-2 (E.coli-derived, GENOSS, Suwon, Korea) was used for FGF-2.
1.0mg/ml , 0.5mg/ml, and 0.1mg/ml concentration FGF-2 solutions were
prepared through dilution with saline. A collagen membrane with a size of
10×20 ㎟ soaked in 50µL of FGF-2 dilutions of each concentration. The
contents of rh-FGF2 in 50µL of FGF-2 dilutions was each 50µg, 25µg, 5µg
respective to concentration to yield 3 different concentration of FGF-2(1.0mg/ml,
0.5mg/ml, 0.1mg/ml). In the control group, 50 μL of normal saline was used.
For polymer membrane, highly pure type I collagen (Genoss, Seoul, Korea)
derived from bovine tendon was used. It has a thickness of 300μm and lasts more
than 6 months in the human body, providing sufficient time for clot stabilization.
The polymer collagen membrane has a dense multilayer structure with no pores
10
on both the upper and lower surfaces. Tensile strength of polymer collagen
membrane is 37.3MPa at dry and 9.7MPa at wet. (Fig.1) (the properties of the
membrane provided by the manufacturer)

3. Methods
A. Control / Experimental groups
Four concentrations of rhFGF-2 groups were set. (0.0mg/ml FGF-2
group<normal Saline, control>, 1.0mg/ml FGF-2 group, 0.5mg/ml FGF-2 group,
0.1mg/ml FGF-2 group) (Table 1)
Table. 1 Control / Experimental group
Control group Osteon Ⅱ+ collagen membrane
Experimental Group1 Osteon Ⅱ+ FGF-2 1.0mg/ml collagen membrane
Experimental Group2 Osteon Ⅱ+ FGF-2 0.5mg/ml collagen membrane
Experimental Group3 Osteon Ⅱ+ FGF-2 0.1mg/ml collagen membrane
In each of the 18 individuals, 4 bone defects were created in the calvaria. In
order to reduce the individual specificity, four concentration groups may be
arranged in each of the 4 bone defects of each individual. However, because it is
difficult to secure 4 collagen membranes of each concentration in each bone
defect in the surgical process, only two concentration groups were set for each of
12
the individual in each of the 2 left and right bone defects. (Fig.2) To minimize
the specificity of each individual, the groups were evenly divided.
The healing period was set at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. There are six
animals in each period.

B. Surgical procedures
The New Zealand white rabbits were injected subcutaneously with Zolazepam
(Zoletil, virback Korea Co., Seoul, Korea) 1.5mg/kg and injected intramuscularly
with Xylazine HCl(Rompun, Bayer Korea Co., Seoul, Korea) 5mg/Kg for
general anesthesia. After 10 minutes of general anesthetic injection, the skull skin
was sterilized with Povidone-Iodine and local anesthesia was performed with 2%
lidocaine (lidocaine HCl, Huons, Seongnam, Korea) containing 1:80,000
epinephrine. The skin and periosteum were incised from the anterior part of the
frontal bone through the parietal bone to the anterior part of the occipital bone for
about 2.0-2.5cm and the periosteum was elevated.
On the exposed calvarial surface, 4 bone defects were created, 2 on each side
and 2 front and back, as shown in Fig.1. Trephine bur (MR.Curette Tech,
Seongnam, Korea) with an outer diameter of 8 mm was used to form a circular
bone defect with a depth of 1 ~ 2 mm to the inferior cortical bone so that the
underlying dura was not damaged. The bone fragments of the formed defect were
gently elevated using a curette. It was confirmed that the dura mater was not
damaged and there was no bleeding. The distance between each defect was at
least 3 mm.
BCP, FGF-2 diluents by concentration, 10×20 ㎟ collagen membrane, and
normal saline was prepared in advance, and collagen membrane soaked in 50µL
FGF-2 dilutions of each concentration for 30 minutes so that FGF-2 will be
14
absorbed into the collagen membrane. The control group was soaked in 50μL of
saline..
70 mg of BCP was implanted in each bone defect and the collagen membrane
soaked with FGF-2 was covered and fixed with micropin. The periosteum was
first sutured with an absorbable suture(4-0 Vicryl, Ethicon, Somerville, NJ, USA),
and the skin was closed. (Fig.3)
Fig. 3 Photograph of surgery site
C. Sacrifice
After 2, 4, 12 weeks of healing periods, each 6 rabbits were sacrificed. After
induction of deep anesthesia, skin was dissected and periosteum was elevated.
Using a handpiece, the marginal bone was removed and a specimen was taken at
a sufficient distance from the vicinity of the healed bone defect. The front side of
the specimens were marked to identify the direction.
15
4. Histological preparation
After washing the specimens fixed in 10% formalin for 6 weeks,
demineralization process was performed for 18 days in 2.5% NaOCl and 17%
EDTA solution. Dehydration and paraffin infiltration process were performed
using ethanol and xylene. After embedding, it was sectioned into 5μm
thicknesses. At this time, the specimen was cut along the sagittal plane passing
through the center of the defect. Hematoxylin-Eosin(HE) stain and Russell-
Movat pentachrome stain(American MasterTech) were conducted.
5. Histological and histomorphometric Analysis
The specimens were imaged at 12.5 times and 50 times magnification using an
optical microscope(Leica DM 2500, Leica Microsystems, wetzlar, Germany),
and histomorphometric measurements were performed with H-E stain tissue
slides. New bone area and residual bone graft material area were measured using
Image-pro plus program (Media cybernetics, Silver Spring, Maryland, USA).
The area of the new bone and the area of the residual bone graft material for the
total area were calculated as a percentage.
16
Russell-Movat pentachrome stain tissue slides were used to observe bone
development, and the degree of differentiation of new bone was analyzed. (Bone :
dark yellow & green, New osteoid : red)
New bone area (%) : The areas of new bone in the defect
(Newly formed bone area / total defect area x 100)
Residual particle area (%) : The areas of residual bone graft material
(Residual bone graft material area / total defect area x 100)
6. Immunohistochemical / TRAP stain analysis
Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of osteocalcin
using mouse anti-osteocalcin antibody (1:100, abcam, ab13420, Cambridge).
Immunohistochemical analysis of osteocalcin was performed using the avidin–
biotin DAB system. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by incubation
with 1% hydrogen peroxide in PBS for 30 min. The sections were blocked with
PBS containing 5% BSA(bovine serum albumin) at room temperature for 1 h and
reacted with the primary antibody. Sections were washed with PBS, and reacted
with the secondary antibody biotinylated-conjugate (1:200, Vectastain ABC kit,
Vector laboratories) at room temperature for 1 h. The bound antibodies were
visualized using the avidin-biotin complex reagent, followed by 3, 3-
17
diaminobenzidine (Vector Laboratories, Burlinggsme, CA, USA). The sections
were washed, dehydrated, and mounted using mount solution (Fisher Scientific,
NJ, USA).
To detect expression of osteoclast, Tartrate-resistance acid phosphatase(TRAP)
stain was performed with the manufacture’s protocol.
7. Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis and validation were performed using histomorphometric data.
Since the number of samples was small and two specimens were excluded due to
errors in specimen production, a non-parametric test was performed.
Kruskal Wallis test was performed to compare between FGF-2 concentration
groups at 2, 4, and 12 weeks and to compare statistically significant differences
according to healing period within each FGF-2 concentration group. The
significance level was set at 0.05. Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison
of each group. Statistical calculations were made using IBM SPSS Statistics 23
(IBM Corp., Armink, NY, USA).
18
III. Results
Although 18 individuals and a total of 72 specimens were produced in the study,
two specimens (1R1, 17L1) had damages during the specimen production
process and were excluded from statistics.
1. In vitro release kinetics of FGF-2
The concentration released by time was represented as a graph.
Within the first 24 hours, more than 50% of the total amount were released, and
after 1 day (24h), a relatively consistent concentration of release was maintained
until day 7 (168h). It was confirmed that a release amount of 100 ng/ml or more
per 48 hours was retained for 7 days.

2. Histological findings (H-E Stain)
A. Analysis of tissue in the 2 week group

X50). Yellow circles, blue stars and green triangles indicate new bone, fibrous
connective tissues and residual bone graft material.
The above tissue is a histological slide according to the concentration of FGF-2
in the 2-week group. The formation of new bone begins to be observed in the 2-
week group. Most of the new bone is in the form of woven bone, that begins to
be formed from the existing bone on the right and left border. The new bone
formed from the lower dura mater and the superior periosteum is almost invisible.
Overall, the amount of residual bone graft material is large, and the new bone is
formed surrounding the graft material. The boundaries between existing bone and
new bone in both sides are very clearly identified. As aspect of initial healing,
inflammatory cells are largely observed and most of the bone defects are filled
with loose fibrous connective tissue.
21
B. Analysis of tissue in the 4 week group

22
The above tissue is a histological slide according to the concentration of FGF-2
in the 4-week group. Compared to the 2-week group, new bone begins to form at
the center of the bone defect, and some of them are formed from the lower dura
mater and the upper periosteum. Histologically, it is more mature and bone
marrow is observed but it is still immature bone. Overall, the space of the
residual bone graft material becomes smaller and a new bone is formed
therebetween. The boundaries between the existing bone and the new bone in
both sides are more obscure. Inflammatory cells are still observed around the
fibrous connective tissue
23
C. Analysis of tissue in the 12 week group
Fig. 7 Histologic specimens undergone 12 weeks of healing time (H&E Stain.
Upper raw original magnification X12.5, Bottom raw original magnification

24
The above tissue is a histological slide according to the concentration of FGF-2
in the 12-week group. At the center of the bone defect, an independent new bone
is found, and the amount of bone produced from lower dura mater and superior
periosteum is also increasing. Overall, it shows signs of more resorption of bone
graft material. The maturation of the new bone is improved, so mature lamellar
bone is seen, and bone marrow is well observed within the new bone. The
boundaries between the existing bone and the new bone on both sides are hardly
distinguishable, and inflammatory cells are rarely found.

First, when comparing the degree of formation of new bone according to the
healing period in each group, the amount of new bone increased with the
increasing healing period of 2, 4, and 12 weeks. (Kruskal Wallis test p <0.05)
There was no statistically significant difference in the control group between 2
weeks and 4 weeks, 4 weeks and 12 weeks, and 4 weeks and 12 weeks in FGF 1
mg/ml group, and in all other groups there were statistically significant
differences in new bone formation according to healing period. (Mann Whitney
test p <0.05)
Comparing new bone formation by groups in identical healing periods of 2
weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks, there was no difference in new bone formation at
2 weeks between groups, but at 4 weeks, FGF 1mg/ml group showed the highest
level of new bone formation, and the FGF 0.5mg/ml group also showed higher
values than the FGF 0.1mg/ml group and the control group. At 12 weeks, all
experimental groups with FGF added showed a higher value of new bone than
the control group, among them, FGF 1mg/ml group and 0.5mg/ml group showed
higher values than FGF 0.1mg/ml group. As shown in Fig.8, it shows a tendency
of bone formation, At 4 weeks, except for the FGF 0.1mg/ml group, the higher
FGF concentration resulted in higher new bone formation, and at 12 weeks,
optimal bone formation was observed above 0.5mg/ml concentration and bone
formation was also increased in the concentration of 0.1mg/ml. However, the
non-parametric statistical test showed no statistically significant difference
27
between all groups in the same healing period, and these results need to be
discussed.

First, when comparing the amount of residual bone graft material according to
the healing period in each group, as the healing period increased to 2, 4, and 12
weeks, the amount of residual bone graft material decreased. (Kruskal Wallis test
p <0.05) There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in
the control group for 4 and 12 weeks, in the FGF 0.5mg/ml group for 2 and 4
weeks, in the FGF 0.1mg/ml group for 2 and 4 weeks, and there was a
statistically significant difference in the amount of residual bone graft material
over the healing period in all other groups. (Mann Whitney test p <0.05)
There was overall a similar value in the comparison of residual bone graft
material in identical healing periods of 2, 4, and 12 weeks by groups and there
were no statistically significant differences. In other words, the addition of FGF
showed no significant effect on the resorption of residual bone graft, and
regardless of the addition of FGF, the bone graft material was resorbed at a
constant rate.
C. Histological components
To examine the ratio of new bone and residual bone graft materials according to
the healing period by group at a glance, it was represented as 100% cumulative
graph. Bone graft materials were resorbed at a consistent rate and the area of
fibrous connective tissue decreased with the degree of new bone formation in
each group.

4. Immunohistochemical / TRAP stain findings
A. Osteocalcin
As shown in Fig.14, it was expressed along the lining of osteoblast cells
covering the area of the bone graft material and when the bone was generated, it
was also strongly expressed in the bone.
Fig. 14 Immunohistochemical localization of osteocalcin
Helfrich27 suggested 4 step scoring method involving (-), (+), (++), (+++) as
an immunohistochemical analysis method. In this study, this was modified and as
it can be seen in fig.15, the osteocalcin expression was measured more precisely
by dividing the measurement range of each specimen into 8 regions and scoring
each region.
33
Fig. 15 Division into 8 parts of region of interest(ROI) to evaluate the
expression of osteocalcin exactly
It is measured (-): 0 point if there is almost no osteocalcin expression at each
site, (+++): 3 points when osteocalcin was expressed around almost of all bone
graft material, (++): 2 points if more than 50% were expressed, and (+): 1 point if
less than 50% was expressed, and with the combination of 8 sites, average was
calculated.

Table 4 shows that the experimental groups added with FGF started to express
osteocalcin strongly at 2 weeks and it showed the highest expression at 4 weeks.
However, control group without FGF had a weak expression at 2,4 weeks and it
showed the highest expression at 12 weeks. This is clearly evident in group-by-
group comparisons.
In the control group, osteocalcin was expressed only in the boundary area where
bone formation is vigorously progressing, but at the center of the bone defect it
was rarely expressed at 2 and 4 weeks. However, in the experimental group,
osteocalcin was expressed around the bone graft material at the center of the
bone defect at 2,4 weeks. In contrast, osteocalcin is expressed at the center of the
bone defect in the control group at 12 weeks and in the experimental group, the
expression of osteocalcin was weakened at 12 weeks. (Fig. 16, 17, 18)
In summary, osteoblastic activity was increased in the experimental group with
FGF over 2-4 weeks compared to the control group.

Expression of osteoclast is purple in the TRAP stain, the number of osteoclasts
was counted and then the expression level of osteoclast was compared.
Looking at Table 5, there is slight variation but the expression of osteoclast was
higher in the experimental group with FGF than in the control group at 2 weeks
and 4 weeks. In control group, osteoclast was not expressed numerically at 2
41
weeks and 4 weeks. Even considering that TRAP staining does not detect all
osteoclasts, it could be seen that the expression of osteoclast was very limited.
(Fig. 19, 20)
Conversely, in 12-week specimens, osteoclast expression was higher in the
control group than in the experimental group, and expression of osteoclast was
significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to the 2 and 4 weeks.
(Fig. 21)
In summary, in the experimental group added with FGF, osteoclastic activity
was increased over 2-4 weeks compared to the control group.

5. Russell-Movat Pentachrome stain findings
A. Analysis of tissue in the 2 week group
Fig. 22 Histologic specimens undergone 2 weeks of healing time (Russell-
Movat Pentachrome Stain) The new osteoid around new bone of the control
group was stained red.
Histomorphometrically, there was no significant difference in the degree of new
bone formation in each group at 2 weeks. However, looking at the pentachrome
stain findings, the experimental group with FGF showed higher histological
46
maturity of bone than the control group. In the control group, findings of red
dyeing which seems to be surrounding the new bone, this is the osteoid stained
before mineralization.
B. Analysis of tissue in the 4 week group
Fig. 23 Histologic specimens undergone 4 weeks of healing time (Russell-
Movat Pentachrome Stain) The new osteoid around new bone of the control
group was stained red.
47
The 4 week findings were also similar to the 2 week findings. The experimental
group with FGF showed some osteoid but control group showed much more
osteoid. Thus the histological maturity of the control group was the lowest.
C. Analysis of tissue in the 12 week group
Fig. 24 Histologic specimens undergone 12 weeks of healing time (Russell-
Movat Pentachrome Stain) The bone marrow of FGF 1.0mg/ml and 0.5mg/ml
groups were well developed compared to the another groups.
48
On the 12th weeks, bone formation progressed to the center of the bone defect.
There was no significant difference in the degree of osteoid expression at the new
bone formation site in the center of the bone defect. However, it could be
confirmed that, in the 1.0mg/ml group and the 0.5mg/ml group, the bone marrow
were well developed compared with the other groups.
Summarizing the pentachrome staining analysis, the bone maturity of the
experimental group added with FGF was higher than that of the control group in
the 2 and 4 week specimen.

IV. DISCUSSION
There are two mechanisms of bone formation : endochondral bone formation
and intramembranous bone formation. In Endochondral bone formation process,
ossification occurs in existing cartilage and in intramembranous bone formation
process, mesenchymal cells differentiate to osteoblasts that form bone.28
Calvaria is developed by intramembranous bone formation as in most of the
bones of the maxillofacial region, and it consists of two cortical plates with
regions of intervening cancellous bone, which is anatomically similar to the
mandible.29 In addition, non-load bearing bone with limited blood supply and
limited bone marrow space is physiologically similar to the mandible.30 Due to
the similarity in the formation of the maxillofacial region and the anatomical
physiological similarity of the mandible, calvaria is suitable as a research model
for bone regeneration in dental research.31,32
Lundgren et al.33 created a defect of 4.5mm diameter in the rabbit calvaria and
confirmed the degree of osteogenesis using an occlusive barrier. There was no
artificial bone regeneration process, such as GBR, but three months later, the
bone height was more than twice the original height. Thus, the contained defect
in the calvaria is good for bone formation and therefore, in order to accurately
50
determine the effect of FGF in this experiment, it was important to select the size
of bone defect.
Critical size defect (CSD) refers to the size of the defect in an animal that will
not be fully healed for life.34 According to Frame et al.30, CSD of a rabbit is a
circular bone defect with a diameter of 16 mm, Dodde et al.35 stated that it was
15 mm. Kramer et al.36 confirmed that when 8mm bone defect was formed in the
rabbit calvaria, bone bridge formation usually took 8-16 weeks, and at 16 weeks,
there were cases where bridges were not formed in the healing process. Also,
even after 24 weeks, the original thickness of the calvaria was not recovered.
Sohn et al.37 proposed two 11mm defect size to the left and right of sagittal
suturing and stated that four defects of size 8mm could be used to reduce
differences among individuals in the early phage healing studies. Dodde et al.35
reported that at least 12 weeks of observation was required in the CSD model,
also in the study by Sohn et al.37, even after 12 weeks of healing, defects of 8 mm
diameter were not fully healed. According to Misch38, the cycle of the bone
remodeling of the rabbit was 6 weeks, and that of human was 17 weeks,
approximately 3 times than rabbit. In addition, it was stated that, to achieve bone
maturation through the second mineralization stage, rabbits require 18 weeks and
humans require 54 weeks. Considering the above considerations, four 8mm defects
were created in this study and to observe both the early phase and the late phase in
bone healing process, healing periods of 2, 4, and 12 weeks were set.
51
In this study, the amount of new bone increased as the healing period
progressed in 2, 4, and 12 weeks in each group. However, there was no
statistically significant difference in the formation of new bone between groups
in the same healing period. Comparing the measured values, at 2 weeks, there
was no difference between 4 groups but at 4 weeks, FGF 1 mg/ml group showed
a new bone formation level about 6% points higher than control group, and FGF
0.5 mg/ml group also showed about 2% points higher level. At 12 weeks, the
FGF-2 1 mg/ml group and the FGF-2 0.5 mg/ml group showed levels about 7%
points higher than the control group, and FGF 0.1 mg/ml group showed more
than 3% points higher than control group. It is clear that it is not a small
difference in quantitative analysis. However, the non-parametric statistical test
showed no statistically significant difference between all groups in the same
healing period. These results seem to be due in part to the lack of experimental
populations and the differences in specificity between individuals. In fact, the
standard deviation was large due to large differences in new bone formation in
each individual and therefore it was a reason for the lack of statistically
significant difference. Another reason for these results may be due to the setting
of healing period.
Sohn et al.37 reported that at 8 weeks, independent bone tissue including bone
marrow began to appear at the center of the bone defect and lamellar bone
appeared at 12 weeks. In the cranial defect model, new bone formation starts
52
from the bone at the border of the bone defect, and new bone formation in the
center begins from the dura mater in the lower part and the periosteum in the
upper part. The periosteum supplies blood vessels to the cortical bone,29,34 and
dura mater has osteogenic potential and is known to contribute to the ossification
of the cranial defect.39 In this study, new bone formation was observed at the
center of the defect in the 4 week specimen, and in the 12 week specimen, a large
amount of new bone was formed in the center. Therefore, the dura mater in the
lower part should not be damaged in operation and periosteum should be restored
to its original position to maximize bone formation. Conversely, in order to
accurately verify the bone formation capacity of FGF-2, a method of deliberate
removing the dura mater and the periosteum can be considered. It is more
important in the CSD determining studies. In fact, there were a number of studies
that removed the lower dura mater and periosteum37,40. Hur et al. 40 showed that
the size of CSD varies with presence of periosteum. Though it is difficult that the
dura mater and the periosteum are accurately removed around the bone defect, it
is worth the attempt.
The amount of residual bone graft material tended to decrease as the healing
period was increased to 2, 4, and 12 weeks. The amount of residual bone graft
material per group during each healing period was comparable overall and there
was no statistically significant difference. The addition of FGF-2 does not have a
significant effect on the resorption of residual bone graft material and is resorbed
53
at a constant rate. The measured data show that the standard deviation is stable,
unlike in new bone formation.
Since bone formation by osteoblasts is associated with bone resorption by
osteoclasts in the bone remodeling process,41,42 the role of osteoclast is important
in osteogenesis process. After bone graft, osteoclast activity was observed on the
surface of bone graft material,43 the apatite contained in the bone graft material
and the apatite of the existing bone are biochemically bonded through the
dissolution / precipitation reaction.44 The resorption of bone graft material is
influenced by the solubility of bone graft material itself and the degree of
osteoclast activation. However, greater solubility does not mean better resorption
by osteoclasts. If the solubility of the graft material is too high, the concentration
of released calcium is high, thus limiting the activation of osteoclasts. According
to Yamada et al.45, although the solubility of β-TCP is higher, resorption of graft
material by osteoclasts was more active in the BCP where β-TCP : HA had a
ratio of 25:75.Also, BCP resorption pattern and histologic morphology of
osteoclasts in these ratios were similar to those in natural bone and dentin.
However, since the BCP of 25:75ratio in terms of mechanical strength is weak,
there is also a view that a 40:60 ratio BCP is more useful.46 The biphasic calcium
phosphate (BCP) used in the study has β-TCP and HA ratio of 70:30, and it was
verified in the previous studies that the volume stability is not compromised
compared to the BCP having a higher HA ratio. 47-49
54
In this study, besides quantitative measurement of bone formation, qualitative
measurement method was conducted. First, immunohistochemical staining was
used to confirm the degree of expression of osteocalcin, a potent marker of bone
formation, second, osteoclast expression, which plays an important role in the
bone regeneration process, was also confirmed through TRAP stain. In addition,
pentachrome staining was performed to analyze the bone formation stage
histologically.
Osteocalcin is a non-collagenous protein found in bone and dentin, which is
secreted by the osteoblast, and is known as a potent marker of the osteogenesis
process.50 It was expressed along the lining of osteoblast cells covering the area
of the bone graft material and when the bone was generated, it was also strongly
expressed in the bone.
As a result of osteocalcin expression analysis, osteoblastic activity was higher in
experimental group with FGF-2 compared to control group at 2 and 4 weeks.
Conversely, at 12 weeks, the control group had the highest osteoblastic activity.
As a result of osteoclast expression analysis, the experimental group also showed
higher osteoclastic activity at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. Conversely, at 12 weeks, the
control group had the highest osteoclastic activity. FGF-2 promoted both
osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities. In Bone regeneration, osteoclasts plays a
very important role41,42, these results can be considered that the addition of FGF-2
promoted bone regeneration process.
55
Pentachrome staining was devised by Movat in 1955 to compare the various
components of connective tissue, particularly cardiovascular tissue.51 It was then
modified by Ressell in 1972 to increase consistency and reliability.52 According
to Rentsh53, it was stated that pentachrome staining is an optimal staining method
to confirm both intramembranous bone formation and endochondral bone
formation, where bone is stained dark yellow, new osteoid stained red, and
cartilage is stained green. The osteoid secreted from the osteoblast at the initial
stage of bone formation appears as red, and as the mineralization progresses, it
becomes dark yellow, so the histological differentiation of the bone formation
process can be confirmed. The cartilage appearing in endochondral bone
formation process appears green. In other textbook54, the colors of pentachrome
staining were explained a little differently, the bone is green, the collagen is
yellow, and the osteoid is red. Our results showed that the bone is green and
yellow. The results of pentachrome stain showed that the experimental group
with FGF-2 had more histologic differentiation at 2 and 4 weeks than the control
group. In control group, red that means osteoid was more apparent at 2 and 4
weeks. On the other hand, in experimental groups, most of bones were yellow
and green, which means mature bone. At 12 weeks, bone formation progressed to
the center of the bone defect, there was no difference in histological maturity.
Summarizing the above immunohistochemical analysis and TRAP /
pentachrome staining analysis, it can be concluded that the addition of FGF-2
56
promoted osteogenesis process. However, there was no difference in bone
formation between the groups in histomorphometric results. As mentioned above,
this is thought to be due to the rabbit sacrifice timing in study design. The
addition of FGF-2 promoted the bone regeneration at 2-4 weeks, but the time of
12 weeks could be enough time for bone regeneration in control group, so at 12
weeks, there was no difference between experimental and control group. We
wanted to observe both early and late stage of bone regeneration, and thought 4
weeks’ time was enough to observe the difference of bone formation level, so we
set 2,4,12 weeks of healing time. But judging from the results of the study, 4
weeks’ time was not enough, and 12 weeks’ time was too long. If the study was
conducted with the addition of 6 and 8 week sacrifice points, the difference in
bone regeneration due to the addition of FGF-2 may have been observed as
differences in the amount of new bone formation. Nagayasu-Tanaka et al.
reported that FGF-2promoted and enhanced alveolar bone, cementum, and PDL
regeneration.55 In this study, although bone generation was promoted, it could
not be concluded that it was enhanced. If the study will be conducted with the
addition of 6 and 8 week sacrifice points, it will be possible to obtain a clear
conclusion.
The concentrations of FGF-2 used in this study were 1.0 mg/ml, 0.5 mg/ml
and 0.1 mg/ml, and doses used were 50 μg, 25 μg, and 5 μg, respectively.
Defect size was 8mm in diameter and 1 ~ 2mm in depth and 50 ~ 100mm³ in
57
terms of volume. The important factor in the growth factor experiment is the
total dose used rather than the concentration used. However, there will
certainly be a appropriate concentration that is gradually released and exhibits
the optimal effect, thus the study needs to mention both the concentration of
growth factors and the total usage. Looking at the studies up until now, there
were many cases where there was no specific mentioning of concentration of
growth factors and the total amount used. Also, when comparing different
studies, the defect size and size of experimental animals must be considered
together. Even so, there is ambiguity about whether the comparison of the
ratio of growth factor usage to defect size is sufficient to compare studies or
what additional criterion is needed for comparison between different species.
Oortigiesen et al .14 compared previous studies with use ratio for defect sizes
regardless of species. Considering that, we reviewed previous study according
to animal species used in each study and compared the defect size with the
amount used.
In the study using rats, Oortigiesen et al 14 used 2.5 µg of FGF for alveolar
defect of 6.8 mm³ size(0.37 µg/mm³), and Santana et al.4 used 5 µg of FGF in
a 1.6 mm diameter circular cavarial defect. Assuming calvarium thickness of
0.5∼1mm, volume is 1.0∼2.0mm³ and when this is converted into
concentration per unit volume, it is 2.5∼5.0µg/mm³.
58
In the study using Beagle dogs, Yosei et al.56 used 200 µg of FGF for
alveolar defect of 125 mm³ size(1.6µg/ mm³), Murakami et al.57 used 50 μg of
FGF for alveolar bone defect of 36 mm³(1.38 μg / mm³), Nakahara et al.25 used
100μg for alveolar bone defect of 48mm³ (≒ 2μg / mm³). There have been
many other studies, but there has been no accurate mention of defect size, or
defect sizes have not been uniform, thus the amount of FGF-2 used per unit
area could not be calculated accurately. In general, the larger the size and
weight of the animals used in the experiment, the larger the amount of FGF-2
used per unit volume. In this study, 0.5 ~ 1.0 μg / mm³ of FGF-2 was used
based on 1.0 mg/ml concentration. Although there were no data of using
rabbits as experimental animals, doses used in the study were similar to those
of the previous studies using other species. Future studies should accurately
address species of experimental animal, defect size, concentration and usage
amount of growth factors to make it easy to compare study results and when
these data are accumulated, it will be possible to infer the optimal
concentration and capacity of each growth factor.
To date, different types of bio-degradable polymer membranes are being widely
used in GTR and GBR in the field of dentistry, as a mean of barrier to isolate the
epithelium from other tissue to aid bone regeneration. Within the limitation of the
present study, polymer collagen membrane, used in dental clinic on the daily
basis, displayed promising results as a carrier of FGF-2 in order to enhance early
59
stage of new bone formation. Also, this simple, easy soaking-application without
further manufacturing process may contribute to increase clinical usability.
Nevertheless, further study regarding balancing physiochemical, mechanical and
biological properties of polymer membrane according to clinical demand may be
required.
60
V. CONCLUSION
As the healing period increased, regardless of different concentration
of FGF-2 used, the formation of new bone increased and the amount
of residual graft material decreased in all experimental FGF-2 groups..
FGF-2 promoted bone regeneration in all experimental groups.
Collagen membrane can be used as a useful carrier of FGF-2 in order
to enhance early stage of new bone formation.

ABSTRACT(in Korean)
골유도 재생술의 증진을 위한
rhFGF-2 함유 Polymer membrane의 역할에 대한 연구
이 상 훈
연세대학교 대학원 치의학과
(지도교수 박영범)
Purpose : 이번 연구의 목적은 다양한 농도의 FGF-2 를 collagen
membrane 에 첨가하여 골유도재생술을 위한 biphasic calcium phosphate(BCP)
골 이식 부위에 국소 적용함으로써 골재생에 있어 FGF 의 역할을
확인하고, collagen membrane 의 carrier 로써의 가능성 및 골 재생에 최적의
FGF 농도를 결정하는 데 있다.
Methods : 18 마리의 New Zealand rabbit 두개골에 지름 8mm 의 골결손부를
형성하였다. BCP 골이식 후 농도를 달리한 FGF-2 를 흡수한 collagen
membrane 으로 덮고 봉합하였다. FGF-2 의 농도는 1.0mg/ml, 0.5mg/ml,
0.1mg/ml 로 설정하였고, control group 은 같은 양의 normal saline 을
69
사용하였다. 시간에 따른 골재생 양상을 확인하기 위하여 2, 4, 12 주 각각
6 마리의 New Zealand rabbit 을 희생한 후 조직계측학 분석을 통해 신생골,
잔여 골 이식재의 양을 분석하였다. 또한 면역조직화학법과 TRAP 및
Russell-Movat pentachrome stain 을 통해 정성적으로 조직을 분석하였다.
Results and Conclusions : 2, 4, 12 주로 치유시간이 길어질수록 모든
group 에서 신생골 형성이 증가하였고, 잔여 골 이식재의 양은 감소하였다.
면역조직화학 분석, TRAP stain 및 pentachrome 염색 분석 결과 FGF-2
첨가가 골재생을 촉진함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 collagen membrane 이
FGF-2 carrier 로 충분히 사용 가능하다고 확인하였다.
