Abstract
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can activate angiogenic and osteogenic pathways, making it a highly promising therapeutic agent for bone growth. Super active platelet lysate (sPL) is derived from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) through ultra-low temperature freeze-thawing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of sPL on glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). sPL increased the proliferation of GC-treated osteoblasts and endothelial cells, and inhibited apoptosis in vitro. Furthermore, sPL promoted healing of necrotic bone tissues in a rat ONFH model by restraining GC-induced apoptosis and increase autophagy of the osteoblasts. Overall, the results of this study provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of sPL in ONFH.
