Summary

BIA, a Bone Inducing Agent extracted from a cultured human osteosarcoma cell line (Saos–2), is highly osteoinductive in the skeletal muscle of athymic mice and promotes early osseous union of stabilized femoral non-unions in rats. To evaluate its effect in dogs, ten milligrams of BIA mixed with an equal amount of pure bovine collagen type I was compared with 20 mg of bovine collagen alone, a gelatin capsule alone, and fresh autogenous cancellous graft, after orthotopic and heterotopic implantation in Beagles.

For osteoinductive bioassays, each implant was placed in the latissimus dorsi muscle of five Beagles for six weeks. Bone formation was evaluated by thoracic radiographs every two weeks and by high detail radiographs and histology six weeks after implantation. To evaluate the effects of BIA after orthotopic implantation, four cortical defects were created in each left femur of four Beagles. One defect on each femur was randomly filled with BIA plus collagen, collagen alone, a gelatin capsule alone, or autogenous cancellous graft. Radiographic evaluation of the femurs was performed every two weeks for eight weeks. Healing of the defects was assessed with high detail radiographs, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, histology and histomorphometry eight weeks after implantation.

Ten mg of BIA did not induce bone formation six weeks after heterotopic implantation and did not promote bone healing after orthotopic implantation in the dogs. The discrepancy between these results and those obtained in rodents may be related to immunogenic factors or to the dose of BIA used in this study.
