The in vivo osteogenic potential of autogenous cultured bone/ceramic constructs in large animals or humans is unknown, and thus we performed a preliminary study of this issue prior to clinical application. All autogenous cultured-bone/ceramic constructs at 3 weeks after implantation in dogs showed obvious histological bone formation within the ceramic pores. In many pores, the HE staining of decalcified specimens revealed thick lamellar bone formation on the pore surface of ceramic. On the surface of bone tissue, numerous active cuboidal osteoblasts were evident. Biochemically, high alkaline phosphatase activity was detected in all dogs. Histological examination of the constructs at 8 weeks postimplantation showed lamellar bone formation with vascular system invasion into the pores, and regenerated hematopoietic bone marrow was often detected in association with the new bone in grafting of human cultured bone/ceramic constructs. Trilineage hematopoietic cells (i.e., granulocytic, erythroblastic, and megakaryocytic cells) were identified in the ceramic pores. Biochemically, high alkaline phosphatase activity and significant human osteocalcin content was detected in the constructs. Based on these findings, in the near future, this technique (grafting of patient-derived cultured bone/HA constructs) will be able to be applied to various bone reconstruction surgical treatments.
