Abstract

Objective

The purpose is to observe whether local administration with selenium (Se) can enhance the efficacy of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) in the treatment of osteoporotic bone defects.

Methods

Thirty ovariectomized (OVX) rats with two defects were generated and randomly allocated into the following graft study groups: (1) OVX group (n = 10), (2) CPC group (n = 10); and (3) Se-CPC group (n = 10). Then, these selenium-modified calcium phosphate cement (Se-CPC) scaffolds were implanted into the femoral epiphysis bone defect model of OVX rats for 12 weeks. Micro-CT, history, western blot and reverse transcription–quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis were used to observe the therapeutic effect and to explore the possible mechanism.

Result

Micro-CT and histological analysis evaluation showed that the Se-CPC group presented the strongest effect on bone regeneration and bone mineralization when compared with the CPC group and the OVX group. Protein expressions showed that the oxidative stress protein expressions, such as SOD2 and GPX1 of the Se-CPC group, are significantly higher than those of the OVX group and the CPC group, while Se-CPC remarkably reduced the expression of CAT. RT-qPCR analysis showed that the Se-CPC group displayed more OPG than the OVX and CPC groups (p < 0.05), while Se-CPC exhibited less RANKL than the OVX and CPC groups (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Our current study demonstrated that Se-CPC is a scheme for rapid repair of femoral condylar defects, and these effects may be achieved by inhibiting local oxidative stress and through OPG/RANKL signaling pathway.
