Possible Interaction: Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 and Vitamin C

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Also, rhBMP-2 produced a small stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity in cells grown in the absence of ascorbic acid; however, the effect was greatly enhanced in cells cultivated in the presence of ascorbic acid (50 µg/ml).
In addition, we speculate that TGF-β1 may play a regulatory role in BMP-induced bone formation and ascorbic acid may potentiate the effects of rhBMP-2 in vivo. (
In view of the potentiating effect of ascorbic acid on rhBMP-2-induced stimulation of alkaline phosphatase, we speculate that ascorbic acid could amplify the osteoinductive effects of rhBMP-2 and thereby augment the efficacy of the BMP when used as bone repair material in vivo.
