Here we report that successful bone formation with a vascular flap inside a cylindrical mold was induced from fat tissue with the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 in rats. Fat tissue connected to blood vessels was prepared to fit into the mold and implanted intramuscularly into the hind leg in Wistar rats. RhBMP-2 (20 micro g) was applied in a collagen sheet previously placed on the inside surface of the mold. Bone formation was confirmed radiologically and morphologically at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after the surgery. In the control group without rhBMP-2 or the group with ligation of the blood vessels before the implantation, bone formation was not observed. Our success in bone formation having a definite size, shape, and blood supply may lead to a therapeutic approach to effective bone reconstitution. The present study is the first report on bone induction from fat tissue by rhBMP-2 in vivo.
