Exploring an innovative augmentation strategy in spinal fusion: A novel selective prostaglandin EP4 receptor agonist as a potential osteopromotive factor to enhance lumbar posterolateral fusion
Background
On-site delivery of bioactive agents facilitates enhancing the effectiveness of spinal fusion. However, the FDA-approved agents currently used in clinical practice are limited by side effects and cost issues, urging exploration of new alternatives.
Aim
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of KMN-159, a novel selective prostaglandin EP4 receptor agonist with osteopromotive properties, in spinal posterolateral fusion (PLF) surgery.
Methods
Various doses of KMN-159 were delivered locally using a mineralized collagen matrix (MCM) scaffold, and its efficacy results were compared with FDA-approved recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in a rat lumbar PLF model. 192 male Wistar rats, aged 10 weeks, were randomized into 8 groups: 1) SHAM, 2) MCM, 3) MCM +10 μg rhBMP-2 (per scaffold), 4–8) MCM + 0.1, 1, 10, 100 or 1000 μg KMN-159 (per scaffold). PLF surgery was performed at the L4-5 level, and animals were euthanized after 3 and 6 weeks for spinal fusion evaluation.
Results
KMN-159 exhibited dose-dependent osteopromotive effects on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and vascular ingrowth within MCM carriers, resulting in new bone formation in a dose-dependent manner. The mid- and high-dose KMN-159 (10, 100, and 1000 μg) groups significantly enhanced PLF with biomechanical improvement, while low-dose (0.1 and 1 μg) groups were insufficient to achieve lumbar fusion.
Conclusion
KMN-159 emerges as a novel osteopromotive factor, coupled with its functionalized MCM scaffold presents a potential bioactive material for enhancing PLF surgery outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials is an international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is now defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. It is the aim of the journal to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review and opinion papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of biomaterials in clinical practice. The scope of the journal covers the wide range of physical, biological and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and the clinical disciplines in which they are used. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology and self assembly at the nanoscale. Clinical applications include the therapies of medical technology and regenerative medicine in all clinical disciplines, and diagnostic systems that reply on innovative contrast and sensing agents. The journal is relevant to areas such as cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.
