Abstract: © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. A variety of controlled release carriers for bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) delivery have been developed and tested in animal models. An alginate-based polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) for controlled release of low-dose BMP-2 has shown promising results in preclinical research. However, the poor handling properties and long-term stability of PEC need to be improved for translational applications. This study aimed to address these limitations of alginate-based PEC by employing a freeze-drying technique. The size and structure of freeze-dried PEC (FD-PEC) were maintained with the addition of a cryoprotectant, trehalose. The release profile of BMP-2 from FD-PEC was similar to that of freshly prepared PEC. In vitro bioactivity analysis of the released BMP-2 showed that the carrier performance of PEC was not compromised by freeze-drying up to three-month storage at room temperature. BMP-2-bound FD-PEC induced comparable bone formation to that using freshly prepared regular PEC in a rat posterolateral spinal fusion model. These results suggest that FD-PEC is capable of delivering low-dose BMP-2 and could be developed as an off-the-shelf product for translational applications. The simplicity of this preservation method provides promise for the translational application of PEC.
