OBJECT: In this study the authors tested the osteoinductive potential of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) when combined with each of three commercially available contrast media (Conray, Omniscan, and Optiray).
METHODS: Initial in vitro and cadaver tests verified the feasibility of using contrast media to visualize absorbable collagen sponge implants containing rhBMP-2 on fluoroscopic radiographic images. For the feasibility studies, lyophilized rhBMP-2 was prepared for injection by reconstitution with contrast media instead of sterile water. For the in vivo study, samples of an rhBMP-2 stock solution were diluted to 0.1 mg/ml by using three contrast media. In each sample, the final solution consisted of 97% contrast medium by volume. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 diluted with sterile water for injection was used as a positive control. The rhBMP-2 solutions were applied to 0.5-cm3 collagen sponges and implanted subcutaneously on the thoracic cavity of athymic rats. At 4 weeks, the rats were killed, and the implants were removed. The explants were graded for degree of bone formation by using manual palpation and radiographic and histological assessments.
CONCLUSIONS: By all methods of evaluation used, rhBMP-2 diluted with Omniscan was equivalent to rhBMP-2 diluted with sterile water in inducing bone formation. Both Conray and Optiray were shown to inhibit the osteoinductive potential of rhBMP-2.
