    Large bone defects resulting from nonunion fractures or tumour resections are common clinical problems. Recent studies have shown bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) gene transfer using adenoviral vectors to be a promising new therapeutic approach. However, comparative studies of different vectors are required to identify the optimal system for possible clinical trials. This study compares the use of liposome-mediated and adenoviral gene transfer for the generation of autologous BMP-2-producing bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC). Primary BMSC isolated from the rat femur were treated ex vivo with either an adenovirus or a liposome carrying human BMP-2 cDNA. The genetically modified cells were evaluated in vitro and transplanted into critical size defects in the rat mandible in vivo. BMSC treated with a reporter gene vector or untreated BMSC served as controls. The newly formed tissue was analysed by in situ hybridization, radiography and immunohistochemistry. Both groups of genetically modified cells produced BMP-2 for at least 2 weeks, and markers of new bone matrix such as osteopontin and osteocalcin were observed within 2 weeks following gene transfer. In the liposome group, the critical size defects were found completely healed at 6 weeks after the gene transfer, whereas the more efficient adenoviral gene transfer allowed for complete bone healing within 4 weeks. None of the three control groups showed bone healing, not even after 8 weeks. Thus, both liposome-mediated and adenoviral BMP-2 gene transfer to primary BMSC are suitable methods to achieve the healing of critical size bone defects in rats. As liposomes have proven sufficient for this purpose and offer several advantages over any other vector, such as ease of preparation, theoretically no limitation of the size of the DNA, and less immunological and safety problems, they may represent the best vector system for future clinical trials of bone regeneration by BMP-2 gene therapy.
