Following bone implant surgery, prolonged ischemic conditions at the implant site often result in postsurgical complications like failure of osseointegration at the bone-implant interface which can lead to implant failure. Thus, restoration of the vascular supply is paramount to the proper development of the bone. High surface area mesostructured materials have been shown to be attractive candidates for bone regeneration to enhance cell adhesion and cell proliferation. This study uses hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring mineral in the bone, fabricated to a range of suitable pore sizes, infused with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), to be progressively released to stimulate revascularization. In this study, several characterizations including nitrogen adsorption analysis, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope were used to evaluate the synthesized mesoporous hydroxyapatite (MHA). The results showed that MHA can gradually release VEGF for enhancing revascularization, which is beneficial for orthopedic applications.

D042461 Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A The original member of the family of endothelial cell growth factors referred to as VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTORS. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A was originally isolated from tumor cells and referred to as "tumor angiogenesis factor" and "vascular permeability factor". Although expressed at high levels in certain tumor-derived cells it is produced by a wide variety of cell types. In addition to stimulating vascular growth and vascular permeability it may play a role in stimulating VASODILATION via NITRIC OXIDE-dependent pathways. Alternative splicing of the mRNA for vascular endothelial growth factor A results in several isoforms of the protein being produced.
