Temporal and spatial distribution of a gene encoding murine bone morphogenetic protein 4 (mBMP-4) during fracture repair were investigated in mice by RT-PCR and in situ hybridization. For in situ hybridization, fractured ribs and surrounding tissues were decalcified and hybridized with a mBMP-4-specific complementary RNA probe labeled with digoxigenin-11 UTP. mBMP-4 messenger RNA (mRNA) was not detected in ribs without fracture, whereas it was detected only in the early phase of fracture from 12 to 72 h after the onset of fracture before new cartilage or bone formation. The mBMP-4 mRNAs were present in cells distributed in three distinct regions, namely, the proliferating periosteum, the medullary cavity, and the muscles near the fracture site. These BMP-4-positive cells did not express bone gla protein mRNA, which is a marker of the mature osteogenic cell. RT-PCR also showed a transient increase in the level of BMP-4 mRNA in the early phase of fracture repair. The findings provide us with some new information. (1) The BMP-4 gene is produced by less differentiated osteoprogenitor cells, not by differentiated osteoblasts. (2) The BMP-4 gene is enhanced by the impact of fracture and localized in callus-forming tissue before callus formation. Together with the activities of BMP-4, as was previously described, our results suggest that newly produced BMP-4 gene product is one of the local contributing factors in callus formation in the early phase of fracture healing.
