Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is the use of a material based on calcium carbonate as a support for a growth factor in the preparation of a bioresorbable implant intended to be placed in a living organism.
  • Such a material can be used in particular as an osteoforming implant. It is known that bone surgery often requires the placement of bone grafts or implants constituting artificial substitutes for such grafts. The production of allografts raises objections, for obvious reasons of public health, taking into account the risks of transmission of certain serious viral diseases or diseases caused by non-conventional transmissible agents or "prions".
  • biocompatible materials such as tricalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, plaster, coral, polymers based on poly (lactic acid) and / or poly (acid glycolic), etc.
  • Some of these materials, including calcium carbonate, are bioresorbable and allow the progressive formation of newly formed bone tissue at the expense of the material implanted in the process of resorption; see in particular European patent 0 022 724.
  • a material based on porous calcium carbonate such as coral, can serve as a support for osteoinductive factors, and more generally for growth factors, in the preparation of bioresorbable implants and that the presence collagen is neither necessary nor desirable in the case where the implant is intended to be used as an osteoforming implant.
  • the present invention therefore relates to the use of a porous material based on calcium carbonate as a support for at least one growth factor in the preparation of a bioresorbable implant intended to be placed in a living animal organism, in particular in a vertebrate animal, including humans, said support being free of collagen in the case where said growth factor is an osteoinductive factor.
  • the growth factors are osteoinductive factors
  • the implants can be used as osteoforming implants.
  • these implants may contain, in addition to osteoinductive factors, other growth factors.
  • the implants thus obtained can either be placed as progressively absorbable bone filling pieces for the benefit of a newly formed tissue, or implanted in a non-bone site, for example a connective tissue, where they will give rise to bone tissue which can later be used as bone autograft material.
  • the calcium carbonate support When the calcium carbonate support is loaded with a non-osteoinductive growth factor, it can be used in particular as a support for the in vivo culture of living cells.
  • the implant after placement, can serve in particular as a support for obtaining new tissue at the location of implantation. This newly formed tissue can be used as a replacement for failing organ parts (pancreas-intestine connection, urethra, bladder, pericardium, etc.).
  • the implant of the invention can also be used as an in vivo culture support for genetically modified cells, in particular by insertion of an appropriate gene, in a manner known per se, to remedy a genetic defect.
  • the modified cells can possibly come from an autologous sample.
  • the implants thus obtained constitute an "organoid" serving as a therapeutic treatment device, the installation of which makes it possible to replace a failing organ, and in particular to remedy certain dysfunctions of genetic origin. It is therefore a new mode of implementation of gene therapies.
  • a hollow piece of coral can be produced, provided with an opening which can be closed by a plug, screwed or fitted, also made of coral.

  • the implanted cells are organized into vascularized tissue surrounded by connective tissue replacing the coral as it is absorbed.
  • the cells introduced into the implant can be undifferentiated cells whose differentiation is effected by endogenous or exogenous cytokines.
  • the calcium carbonate-based material which can be used as a support for the growth factors is preferably aragonite.
  • One of the advantages of using the coral skeleton is that it contains communicating pores, which promotes neovascularization as well as invasion of the material by bone cells or by other cells previously introduced or recruited. in situ.
  • the porosity that is to say the volume proportion of the pores relative to the total volume of the material, is generally between 20 and 80%, for example between 40 and 60%.
  • Materials of this type can be obtained by using in particular the coral of the genera Porites, Acropora, Goniopora, Lobophyllia, Simphyllia and Millipora.
  • growth factors are polypeptides which act locally on certain cells by influencing their proliferation, their migration and / or their differentiation or which stimulate the production of other growth factors.

  • a fibrin precursor for example fibrinogen or a biological glue (cryoprecipitate) can also be used as binding agents.
  • the binding agent notably has the effect of promoting the fixation of the growth factor and possibly its gradual release.
  • the binding agent is gradually absorbed as the implant is rehabilitated by a newly formed tissue.
  • Bovine BP having a protein concentration of 1.52 mg / ml is used as the osteoinductive factor.
  • the BP is diluted so as to obtain doses of 10, 35 and 100 micrograms of active principle in a volume of 20 microliters.
  • Each coral disc is impregnated with 20 microliters of one of the solutions obtained. After infiltration of the solution into the pores, the discs are frozen quickly and then subjected to lyophilization.

The coral discs are impregnated, in a manner analogous to that described in the previous example, by the osteoinductive factor (recombinant human BMP-2), at the rate of 0.5 micrograms of BMP-2 per 1 mg of coral.

The modified cells are viable and express the inserted gene. They are organized in vascularized tissue. A similar experiment was carried out on mice deficient in beta-glucuronidase and having a lysosomal overload disease. A human cDNA encoding beta-glucuronidase is inserted into a retroviral vector which is then used to modify mouse (autologous) cells. The modified cells are introduced into a network of collagen fibers and the whole is introduced into a coral cylinder treated in a similar manner to that described above. The implants thus prepared are inserted into the mesentery of the deficient mice.
  • the modified implanted cells are capable of secreting the missing enzyme which passes into the general circulation, thus causing the regression of the physiological consequences of the genetic defect, and in particular the correction of the hepatic and spleen lesions.
