Abstract

LIM mineralization protein-1 (LMP-1) is a novel intracellular osteogenic factor associated with bone development that has been implicated in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway. This preliminary study evaluated the possibility of LMP-1-based retroviral gene therapy to stimulate osteoblast differentiation in vitro and fracture repair in vivo. A Moloney leukemia virus (MLV)-based retroviral vector to express LMP-1 with a hemagglutinin (HA) tag was developed, and its effects were evaluated on MC3T3-E1 cell differentiation and in the rat femur fracture model. MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts transduced with the MLV-HA-LMP-1 vector demonstrated significantly increased osteoblast marker gene expression (P < 0.05) and mineral deposition compared to control transduced cells. Femoral midshaft fractures were produced in Fischer 344 rats by the three-point bending technique. The MLV-HA-LMP-1 or control vector was applied at the fracture site through percutaneous injections 1 day postfracture. Analysis of fracture healing of 10 MLV-HA-LMP-1-treated and 10 control MLV-beta-galactosidase (beta-gal)-treated animals was completed at 3 weeks by X-ray, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, and histology. MLV-HA-LMP-1-treated animals had 63% ...Continue Reading
