Heterotopic Osteogenesis by Murine Demineralized Incisors at Lesions Sites Induced by Concanavalin A in Mice

Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Concanavalin A (Con A) administration on the early (preosteogenic) and late stages of osteogenesis induced by implantation of demineralized murine incisors into syngeneic mice. Local administration of Con A resulted in an increased yield of demineralized incisor-induced bone when injected during the preosteogenic stage of induction. This effect was not observed when Con A was injected after heterotopic osteogenesis had been established. This suggests that Con… Show more

“…Murine incisors hydrolyzed for 4–5 hr in chilled 0.6 N HCl were fully demineralized and exhibited good osteoinductive potency. We previously showed that 22 hr demineralization slightly diminishes their osteoinductive power, most likely by affecting their organic phase [26]. …”

“…Heterotopic bone formation was induced in 51 healthy female mice by intramuscular implantation of demineralized for 20 hrs in 0.6 N HCl at +4°C murine incisors according to the procedure described previously [19]. Under anesthesia, the implants were aseptically inserted into an intramuscular pocket executed in the thigh muscle by sharp scissors, following shaving of the surgery area.…”

“…Glycoconjugates that react with endogenous lectins can induce chondrogenesis and osteogenesis. For instance, the local administration of ConA increased demineralization [11]. The osteogenic cell population in mouse bone marrow cultures was found to bind WGA and synthesize bone-specific proteins such as alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen and osteocalcin, and to form mineralized nodules [12].…”
