Bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (BMP‐2) is an osteoinductive protein and is considered useful for the treatment of skeletal disorders. Previous studies using BMP‐2 in clinical applications have encountered difficulties, including the lack of an efficient, safe, inexpensive and simple delivery system. The gene transfer approach is a promising option for utilizing BMP‐2. Although viral vector‐mediated gene transfer is efficient, safety concerns prevent its clinical application for common diseases. On the other hand, plasmid‐based gene transfer is a safe method and can be harnessed for practical applications.
