Combined treatment with extracorporeal shock‑wave therapy and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation improves bone repair in a rabbit model of bone nonunion.
Molecular Medicine Reports 2018 January
The aim of the present study was to analyze whether extracorporeal shock‑wave therapy (ESWT) combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMMSC) transplantation improves bone repair in a rabbit bone nonunion model. ESWT combined with BMMSC effectively enhanced mechanical strength, fracture stiffness and histological scores, and increased alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteopontin, runt related transcription factor 2 and collagen type I α1 chain protein expression levels in a rabbit bone nonunion model. In addition, ESWT combined with BMMSC effectively enhanced insulin‑like growth factor 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor contents, promoted transforming growth factor‑β (TGF‑β) contents, and induced the growth factors, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)‑2, BMP‑4 and purinergic receptor P2X7 (P2X7) protein expression in the rabbit bone nonunion model. Thus, the present study demonstrated that ESWT combined with BMMSC transplantation improves bone repair in a rabbit bone nonunion model via the BMPs and P2X7 signaling pathways.
