| Popis: | Trauma-induced heterotopic ossification (HO) and fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) are acquired and genetic variants of pathological bone formation occurring in soft tissues. Conventional treatment modalities target the inflammatory processes preceding bone formation. We investigated the development of a prophylaxis for heterotopic bone formation by addressing the biological basis for HO – dysregulation in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway. We previously reported the synthesis of cationic nanogel nanostructured polymers (NSPs) for efficient delivery of short interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs) and targeted gene silencing. Results suggested that nanogel:siRNA weight ratios of 1:1 and 5:1 silenced Runx2 and Osx gene expression in primary mouse osteoblasts with a constitutively active (ca) BMP Receptor 1A (BMPR1A) by the Q233D mutation. Repeated RNAi treatments over 14 days significantly inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity in caBMPR1A osteoblasts. Hydroxyapatite (HA) deposition was diminished over 28 days in culture, though complete suppression of HA deposition was not achieved. Outcome data suggested minimal cytotoxicity of nanogel-based RNAi therapeutics, and the multistage disruption of BMP-induced bone formation processes. This RNAi based approach to impeding osteoblastic differentiation and subsequent bone formation may form the basis of a clinical therapy for heterotopic bone formation. |
