Eggshell membrane supplementation stimulates angiogenesis and promotes bone healing in a rat drill-hole injury model
The development of new adjunct therapies to support bone healing remains an important clinical challenge. Eggshell membrane (ESM), a natural biomaterial derived from chicken eggs, has recently attracted attention for its safety, biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness. We aimed to evaluate the effects of ESM supplementation on bone healing in a rat tibial drill-hole injury model. Seven-week-old male Wistar rats, acclimated for one week prior to the experiment, were divided into three groups: control, bone injury only, and bone injury with ESM supplementation (EM). Micro-computed tomography and histological analyses revealed a significant increase in new bone volume in the EM group at days 14 and 21 post-drill hole injury. On day 21, reduced toluidine blue staining, a lower osteocyte count, and the maturation of collagen fibers. Moreover, Sp7 mRNA expression and the number of osteocalcin-positive cells were increased. The expression of Nfatc1 and the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts were also significantly elevated. In addition, the vascular area and Vegfa expression were markedly increased in the EM group throughout the observation period. These findings suggest that ESM supplementation promotes bone healing by stimulating angiogenesis and enhancing osteoblast and osteoclast activity, offering a promising nutritional adjunct to support and accelerate fracture healing.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
