报告内容摘要：

Orthopaedic implants containing biodegradable magnesium have been used for fracture repair with considerable efficacy; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show abundant new bone formed at peripheral cortical bone after intramedullary implantation of ultrapure magnesium in rat femur, accompanied by significant increase of neuronal calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). The magnesium-induced osteogenesis is substantially reversed by surgical removal of the periosteum, capsaicin-denervation of sensory nerves, or in vivo knockdown of CGRP receptor encoding genes Calcrl or Ramp1; whereas significantly enhanced by their overexpression. In isolated rat dorsal root ganglion neurons, elevation of extracellular magnesium induces MagT1- and TRPM7-dependent magnesium-entry, intracellular ATP increase and terminal accumulation of synaptic vesicles. In isolated rat periosteum-derived stem cells (PDSCs), CGRP induces Calcrl- and Ramp1-dependent activation of CREB and ostexis, and thus enhances osteogenic differentiation of PDSCs. Furthermore, we have developed an innovative magnesium-containing intramedullary nail which facilitates femur-fracture repair in rats with ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. Together, a previously undefined role of magnesium in promoting CGRP-mediated osteogenic differentiation is revealed, suggesting its therapeutic potentials in orthopaedics.
