To explore how alcohol affects the BMP-2 signaling pathway, which is known to play a critical role in bone and cartilage formation during fracture healing. A rat model was used to demonstrate the detrimental effects of alcohol exposure on tibia fracture healing. Specific components of the BMP-2 pathway were analyzed in fracture callus at days 3, 7, 14, 21 post fracture via western immunoassays and ELISA. Alcohol exposure prior to tibia fracture demonstrated attenuation of downstream BMP-2 signaling. The BMP-2 antagonist, Chordin, may be the central component of the BMP-2 related changes demonstrated in this study. While alcohol affected BMP-related proteins at all time points, it appears day fourteen post fracture is a critical time point for alcohol-related modulation of callus formation in our model. This study may provide the scientific basis for further studies addressing whether the application of exogenous BMP-2 in patients with a history of alcohol abuse who sustain long bone fractures may or may not be of benefit.
