    Abstract:
    Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a well-studied angiogenesis pathway, plays an essential role in angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling. Targeting the HIF-1a pathway frequently leads to successful reconstruction of large-sized bone defects through promotion of angiogenesis. Dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) small molecule regulates the stability of HIF-1α at normal oxygen tension by mimicking hypoxia, which subsequently accelerates angiogenesis. The current study aims to develop a novel construct by seeding adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) onto a scaffold that contains DMOG to induce angiogenesis and regeneration of a critical size calvarial defect in a rat model. The spongy scaffolds have been synthesized in the presence and absence of DMOG and analyzed in terms of morphology, porosity, pore size, mechanical properties and DMOG release profile. The effect of DMOG delivery on cellular behaviors of adhesion, viability, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenesis were subsequently evaluated under in vitro conditions. Histological analysis of cell-scaffold constructs were also performed following transplantation into the calvarial defect. Physical characteristics of fabricated scaffolds confirmed higher mechanical strength and surface roughness of DMOG-loaded scaffolds. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and MTT assay demonstrated the attachment and viability of ADMSCs in the presence of DMOG, respectively. Osteogenic activity of ADMSCs that included alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium deposition significantly increased in the DMOG-loaded scaffold. Computed tomography (CT) imaging combined with histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry analysis showed enhanced bone formation and angiogenesis in the DMOG-loaded scaffolds. Therefore, spongy scaffolds that contained DMOG and had angiogenesis ability could be utilized to enhance bone regeneration of large-sized bone defects.
