| Abstract | In the present study, we studied the involvement of BMP-2 and BMP-7 as homodimers and as a mixture of homodimers in bone regeneration using an engineered bone model. The engineered bone model consisted of a collagen scaffold populated with osteoblasts that acted as a carrier for the BMPs. BMP-2, BMP-7 and a mixture of BMP-2/BMP-7 were used at final concentrations of 10 and 100 ng ml(-1). Osteoblasts seeded onto a collagen scaffold were cultured for 24 h before being stimulated with the BMPs. Four days later, osteoblast adhesion to and growth on the scaffold were assessed. Osteocalcin, IL-6, metalloproteinase (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and protease inhibitor (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) mRNA and protein levels were measured. Our results showed that the BMP-2, BMP-7 and a mixture of BMP-2/BMP-7 all promoted osteoblast growth on the collagen scaffold, with the mixture of BMP-2/BMP-7 enhancing the most growth. BMP-2 and the mixture of BMP-2/BMP-7 enhanced osteocalcin (an osteoblast differentiation marker) mRNA expression and protein secretion, likely via the IL-6 pathway given that IL-6 secretion was upregulated by BMP-7 and a mixture of BMP-2/BMP-7. BMPs promote extracellular matrix production by inhibiting MMP-2 mRNA and increasing TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 mRNA expressions and protein secretions. BMP-2, BMP-7 and the mixture of BMP-2/BMP-7 could promote bone regeneration via different mechanisms involving IL-6 and MMP inhibitors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
