We examined the efficacy of a single application of recombinant human osteogenic protein-1 (hOP-1, bone morphogenetic protein-7) for its ability to regenerate large calvarial defects in adult male baboons (Papio ursinus). Recombinant hOP-1, in conjunction with baboon or bovine guanidinium-extracted insoluble collagenous bone matrix (0.1, 0.5 and 2.5 mg per g of collagenous matrix as carrier), was implanted in 46 calvarial defects surgically prepared in 14 baboons, whilst 18 defects were implanted with the carrier matrix without hOP-1. Specimens were harvested on d 15, 30, 90 and 365 and subjected to histomorphometry on serial undecalcified sections cut at 7 microm to study the temporal sequence of tissue morphogenesis after the single application of hOP-1. Histological analysis indicated that the induction of new bone formation proceeded from the periphery to the central core of hOP-1 treated specimens after rapid angiogenesis and mesenchymal cell migration in apposition to the collagenous matrix. Whilst chondrogenesis was limited, newly formed bone has already filled with fully differentiated bone marrow elements as early as d 15, even with the 0.1 mg dose of hOP-1. On d 30 and 90, doses of 0.1 and 0.5 mg of hOP-1 showed greater amounts of bone than controls, and on d 90, they induced complete regeneration of the defects. Doses of 2.5 mg hOP-1 per g of matrix induced extensive osteogenesis initially with heterotopic ossification and displacement of the temporalis muscle above the defects. One year after implantation of hOP-1 there was restoration of the internal and external cortices of the calvaria. These results show that hOP-1 induces complete regeneration of calvarial bone in the adult primate, and suggest that the optimal activity of hOP-1 to achieve regeneration is between 100 and 500 microg of hOP-1 per g of matrix. These results in the primate may form the scientific basis for future clinical applications of hOP-1.
