To assess the potential efficacy of mechano growth factor (MGF) for bone injury, we firstly investigated the effects of growth factors, including MGF, its E peptide (a short 24-amino acid C-terminal peptide, MGF-Ct24E), and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) on MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cell proliferation. MGF-Ct24E had the highest pro-proliferation activity among three growth factors, which was 1.4 times greater than that of IGF-1. Moreover, MGF-Ct24E promoted cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest in the S and G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle, but also mainly by the activation of the MAPK-Erk1/2 pathway. In vivo, a 5-mm segmental bone defect in the radius of 27 rabbits was treated with MGF-Ct24E by two doses (28.5 and 57 ?g /kg body weight) vs. non-growth factor injection for five consecutive days postoperatively. The cumulative rate of radiographically healed defects and histological scores of bone defect-healing revealed a statistical difference between high-dose treatment and non treatment (p?<?0.01), which showed the treatment promoted defect healing. This report is the first to demonstrate that MGF-Ct24E possesses positive effects on osteoblast proliferation and bone-defect healing, suggesting a new strategy in fracture healing.
