Study of the polyacrylate interpenetration in a collagen-polyurethane matrix to prepare novel hydrogels for biomedical applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 156:27-39.

Abstract
Currently, the control of the properties of collagen based hydrogels represents a promising area of research to develop novel materials for biomedical applications. The crosslinking of the collagen with trifunctional polyurethane (PU) allows a hybrid matrix to be formed by improving the coupling with exogenous polymeric chains to generate innovative semi-interpenetrated network (semi-IPN) hydrogels. The incorporation of polyacrylate (PA) within a hybrid matrix of collagen-PU allows to regulate the structure and physicochemical properties such as polymerization rate, physicochemical crosslinking, thermal stability, storage module and swelling/degradation behavior of the 3D matrices in the hydrogel state, also exhibiting modulation of their in vitro biocompatibility properties. This work contemplates the study of the effect of PA concentration on the physicochemical properties and the in vitro biological response of these novel semi-IPN hydrogels based on collagen-PU-PA. The results indicate that semi-IPN hydrogels that include 20 wt% of PA exhibit improved swelling with respect to the collagen-PU hydrogel, controlling the degradation rate in acidic, alkaline and proteolytic media; showing E. coli inhibition capacity, high hemocompatibility and not altering the metabolism of monocytes and fibroblasts growing on them. Therefore, these novel hydrogels represent biomaterials with potential application in biomedical strategies such as wound healing dressings.

The Effect of Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles/Graphene Oxide Composites on the Differentiation and Mineralization of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10040620.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticle (MBN)/graphene oxide (GO) composites on the mineralization ability and differentiation potential of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). MBN/GO composites were synthesized using the sol-gel method and colloidal processing to enhance the bioactivity and mechanical properties of MBN. Characterization using FESEM, XRD, FTIR, and Raman spectrometry showed that the composites were successfully synthesized. hDPSCs were then cultured directly on the MBN/GO (40:1 and 20:1) composites in vitro. MBN/GO promoted the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of hDPSCs. In addition, qRT-PCR showed that MBN/GO regulated the mRNA levels of odontogenic markers (dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), dentine matrix protein 1 (DMP-1), ALP, matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2)). The mRNA levels of DSPP and DMP-1, two odontogenesis-specific markers, were considerably upregulated in hDPSCs in response to growth on the MBN/GO composites. Western blot analysis revealed similar results. Alizarin red S staining was subsequently performed to further investigate MBN/GO-induced mineralization of hDPSCs. It was revealed that MBN/GO composites promote odontogenic differentiation via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Collectively, the results of the present study suggest that MBN/GO composites may promote the differentiation of hDPSCs into odontoblast-like cells, and potentially induce dentin formation.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects caused by various reasons is still a major problem in orthopedic clinical work. Many studies on osteogenic implant materials have used various biologically active factors such as osteogenic inducers, but these biologically active factors have various side effects. Therefore, in this study, silk fibroin (SF) was used as a scaffold material, mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) as a sustained release carrier, and the traditional Chinese drug icariin (ICA) was loaded to promote bone formation. The experiments in this study have proven that SF/MBGNs-ICA scaffolds can successfully load and release ICA for a long time, and the sustained-release ICA can promote the proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs for a long time. This controlled-release ICA organic/inorganic two-component scaffold material is expected to become a new bone grafting solution.

Novel bone-mimetic nanohydroxyapatite/collagen porous scaffolds biomimetically mineralized from surface silanized mesoporous nanobioglass/collagen hybrid scaffold: Physicochemical, mechanical and in vivo evaluations. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 110:110660.

Abstract
Bone-mimetic scaffolds are receiving much interest as such scaffolds exhibit excellent biocompatibility and very close mimic to bone structure and composition. Here, novel bone-mimetic nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)/collagen (Col) porous scaffolds (nHA/Col) were prepared from surface silanized mesoporous nanobioglass (NBG)/Col hybrid scaffold by biomimetic mineralization. Surface silanized mesoporous NBG was prepared by ultrasound-assisted sol-gel method and post treatment with 3-aminopropyltriethylsilane (APTS). The surface silanized mesoporous NBG was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), transmission electron microscopy-selected area electron diffraction (TEM-SAED) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The physicochemical/mechanical characterizations of the scaffolds included scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and TEM imaging of micro/nanostructure, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis of chemical composition, TEM-SAED and X-ray diffraction/Attenuated total Reflectance-Fourier Infrared spectroscopy (XRD/ATR-FTIR) analyses of amorphous-to-crystalline transformations, thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetric (TGA/DSC) analyses of thermal behaviour , porosity and dynamic mechanical analyses. The presence of NBG in collagen fibrillar network enabled progressive growth of HA nanocrystals and generation of a novel bone-mimetic hybrid structures while preserving the highly porous structure of collagen scaffold. The crystallinity, crystallite size and crystal morphology of the grown HA nanocrystals were controllable by regulation of the mineralization time. Furthermore, the osteogenic properties of the non-mineralized (NBG/Col) and mineralized (nHA/Col) hybrid porous scaffolds were examined in vivo using critical-sized calvarial bone defect model in rat. Histological and micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) analyses after 6 weeks of implantation revealed that the mineralized scaffolds possess excellent in vivo osteogenic potential compared to the non-mineralized one. Collectively, by using surface silanized mesoporous NBG hybridization with collagen fibrillar network, we successfully introduced a new approach for developing novel bone-mimetic nanohydroxyapatite/collagen hybrid scaffolds that possess significant potential for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
In the last years bone tissue engineering has been increasingly indicated as a valid solution to meet the challenging requirements for a healthy bone regeneration in case of bone loss or fracture. In such a context, bioactive glasses have already proved their great potential in promoting the regeneration of new bone tissue due to their high bioactivity. In addition, their composition and structure enable us to incorporate and subsequently release therapeutic ions such as strontium, enhancing the osteogenic properties of the material. The incorporation of these inorganic systems in polymeric matrices enables the formulation of composite systems suitable for the design of bone scaffolds or delivery platforms. Among the natural polymers, type I collagen represents the main organic phase of bone and thus is a good candidate to develop biomimetic bioactive systems for bone tissue regeneration. However, alongside the specific composition and structure, the key factor in the design of new biosystems is creating a suitable interaction with cells and the host tissue. In this scenario, the presented study aimed at combining nano-sized mesoporous bioactive glasses produced by means of a sol–gel route with type I collagen in order to develop a bioactive hybrid formulation suitable for bone tissue engineering applications. The designed system has been fully characterized in terms of physico-chemical and morphological analyses and the ability to release Sr2+ ions has been studied observing a more sustained profile in presence of the collagenous matrix. With the aim to improve the mechanical and thermal stability of the resulting hybrid system, a chemical crosslinking approach using 4-star poly (ethylene glycol) ether tetrasuccinimidyl glutarate (4-StarPEG) has been explored. The biocompatibility of both non-crosslinked and 4-StarPEG crosslinked systems was evaluated by in vitro tests with human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. Collected results confirmed the high biocompatibility of composites, showing a good viability and adhesion of cells when cultured onto the biomaterial samples.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are routinely being used as potent materials for hard and soft tissue engineering applications; however, improving their biological activities through surface functionalization and modification has been underestimated so far. The surface characteristics of BGs are key factors in determining the success of any implanted BG-based material in vivo since they regulate the affinity and binding of different biological macromolecules and thereby the interactions between cells and the implant. Therefore, a number of strategies using chemical agents (e.g., glutaraldehyde, silanes) and physical methods (e.g., laser treatment) have been evaluated and applied to design properly, tailor, and improve the surface properties of BGs. All these approaches aim at enhancing the biological activities of BGs, including the induction of cell proliferation and subsequent osteogenesis, as well as the inhibition of bacterial growth and adhesion, thereby reducing infection. In this study, we present an overview of the currently used approaches of surface functionalization and modifications of BGs, along with discussing the biological outputs induced by these changes.

Abstract
Periodontitis is considered to be the main cause of tooth loss, which affects about 15% of the adult population around the world. Scaling and root-planning are the conventional treatments utilized to remove the contaminated tissue and bacteria, but eventually lead to the formation of a poor connection—long junctional epithelium. Therefore, regenerative therapies, such as guided tissue/bone regeneration (GTR/GBR) for periodontal regeneration have been attempted. GTR membranes, acting as scaffolds, create three-dimensional (3D) environment for the guiding of cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation, and play a significant role in periodontal regeneration. Nano-composite scaffolds based on electrospun nanofibers have gained great attention due to their ability to emulate natural extracellular matrix (ECM) that affects cell survival, attachment and reorganization. Promoted protein absorption, cellular reactions, activation of specific gene expression and intracellular signaling, and high surface area to volume ratio are also important properties of nanofibrous scaffolds. Moreover, several bioactive components, such as bioceramics and functional polymers can be easily blended into nanofibrous matrixes to regulate the physical-chemical-biological properties and regeneration abilities. Simultaneously, functional growth factors, proteins and drugs are also incorporated to regulate cellular reactions and even modify the local inflammatory microenvironment, which benefit periodontal regeneration and functional restoration. Herein, the progress of nano-composite electrospun fibers for periodontal regeneration is reviewed, including fabrication methods, compound types and processes, and surface modifications, etc. Significant proof-of-concept examples are utilized to illustrate the results of material characteristics, cellular interactions and periodontal regenerations. Finally, the existing limitations of nano-composite electrospun fibers and the development tendencies in future are also discussed.

Abstract
The use of hydrogels in biomedical applications dates back multiple decades, and the engineering potential of these materials continues to grow with discoveries in chemistry and biology. The approaches have led to increasing complex hydrogels that incorporate both synthetic and natural polymers and functional domains for tunable release kinetics, mediated cell response, and ultimately use in clinical and research applications in biomedical practice. This review focuses on recent advances in hybrid hydrogels that incorporate nano/microstructures, their synthesis, and applications in biomedical research. Examples discussed include the implementation of click reactions, photopatterning, and 3D printing for the facile production of these hybrid hydrogels, the use of biological molecules and motifs to promote a desired cellular outcome, and the tailoring of kinetic and transport behavior through hybrid-hydrogel engineering to achieve desired biomedical outcomes. Recent progress in the field has established promising approaches for the development of biologically relevant hybrid hydrogel materials with potential applications in drug discovery, drug/gene delivery, and regenerative medicine.

Mesoporous bioactive glass/ɛ-polycaprolactone scaffolds promote bone regeneration in osteoporotic sheep. Acta Biomater 2019; 90:393-402.

Abstract
Macroporous scaffolds made of a SiO2-CaO-P2O5 mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) and ɛ-polycaprolactone (PCL) have been prepared by robocasting. These scaffolds showed an excellent in vitro biocompatibility in contact with osteoblast like cells (Saos 2) and osteoclasts derived from RAW 264.7 macrophages. In vivo studies were carried out by implantation into cavitary defects drilled in osteoporotic sheep. The scaffolds evidenced excellent bone regeneration properties, promoting new bone formation at both the peripheral and the inner parts of the scaffolds, thick trabeculae, high vascularization and high presence of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In order to evaluate the effects of the local release of an antiosteoporotic drug, 1% (%wt) of zoledronic acid was incorporated to the scaffolds. The scaffolds loaded with zoledronic acid induced apoptosis in Saos 2 cells, impeded osteoclast differentiation in a time dependent manner and inhibited bone healing, promoting an intense inflammatory response in osteoporotic sheep. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In addition to an increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture, osteoporosis also hinders the clinical success of endosseous implants and grafting materials for the treatment of bone defects. For the first time, macroporous scaffolds made of mesoporous bioactive glass and ε-caprolactone have been evaluated in a sheep model that mimics the osteoporosis conditions in humans. These implants fostered bone regeneration, promoting new bone formation at both the peripheral and the inner parts of the scaffolds, showing thick trabeculae and a high vascularization degree. Our results indicate that macroporous structures containing highly bioactive mesoporous glasses could be excellent candidates for the regenerative treatment of bone defects in osteoporotic patients.

Effects of Poly(Amidoamine) Dendrimer-Coated Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles on Dentin Remineralization. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9040591. [PMID: 30974829 PMCID: PMC6523905 DOI: 10.3390/nano9040591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2019] [Revised: 03/28/2019] [Accepted: 04/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the most common clinical conditions usually associated with exposed dentinal surfaces. In this study, we identified the effectiveness of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer-coated mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBN) (PAMAM@MBN) on DH treatment, examining the ion-releasing effect, dentin remineralization, and the occluding effect of dentinal tubules. We synthesized MBN and PAMAM@MBN. After soaking each sample in simulated body fluid (SBF), we observed ion-releasing effects and dentin remineralization effects for 30 days. Also, we prepared 30 premolars to find the ratio of occluded dentinal tubules after applying MBN and PAMAM@MBN, respectively. The results showed that PAMAM did not disrupt the calcium ion-releasing ability or the dentin remineralization of MBN. The PAMAM@MBN showed a better occluding effect for dentinal tubules than that of MBN (p < 0.05). In terms of dentinal tubule occlusion, the gap between MBN was well occluded due to PAMAM. This implies that PAMAM@MBN could be effectively used in dentinal tubule sealing and remineralization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to unmet need for bone augmentation, our aim was to promote osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells (hASCs) encapsulated in gellan gum (GG) or collagen type I (COL) hydrogels with bioactive glass (experimental glass 2-06 of composition [wt-%]: Na2O 12.1, K2O 14.0, CaO 19.8, P2O5 2.5, B2O3 1.6, SiO2 50.0) extract based osteogenic medium (BaG OM) for bone construct development. GG hydrogels were crosslinked with spermidine (GG-SPD) or BaG extract (GG-BaG). METHODS Mechanical properties of cell-free GG-SPD, GG-BaG, and COL hydrogels were tested in osteogenic medium (OM) or BaG OM at 0, 14, and 21 d. Hydrogel embedded hASCs were cultured in OM or BaG OM for 3, 14, and 21 d, and analyzed for viability, cell number, osteogenic gene expression, osteocalcin production, and mineralization. Hydroxyapatite-stained GG-SPD samples were imaged with Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) and Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) in OM and BaG OM at 21 d. Furthermore, Raman spectroscopy was used to study the calcium phosphate (CaP) content of hASC-secreted ECM in GG-SPD, GG-BaG, and COL at 21 d in BaG OM. RESULTS The results showed viable rounded cells in GG whereas hASCs were elongated in COL. Importantly, BaG OM induced significantly higher cell number and higher osteogenic gene expression in COL. In both hydrogels, BaG OM induced strong mineralization confirmed as CaP by Raman spectroscopy and significantly improved mechanical properties. GG-BaG hydrogels rescued hASC mineralization in OM. OPT and SPIM showed homogeneous 3D cell distribution with strong mineralization in BaG OM. Also, strong osteocalcin production was visible in COL. CONCLUSIONS Overall, we showed efficacious osteogenesis of hASCs in 3D hydrogels with BaG OM with potential for bone-like grafts.

Abstract
A novel series of silver-doped mesoporous bioactive glass/poly(1,8-octanediol citrate) (AgMBG/POC) elastomeric biocomposite scaffolds were successfully constructed by a salt-leaching technique for the first time and the effect of inclusion of different AgMBG contents (5, 10, and 20 wt%) on physicochemical and biological properties of pure POC elastomer was evaluated. Results indicated that AgMBG particles were uniformly dispersed in the POC matrix and increasing the AgMBG concentration into POC matrix up to 20 wt% enhanced thermal behaviour, mechanical properties and water uptake ability of the composite scaffolds compared to those from POC. The 20%AgMBG/POC additionally showed higher degradation rate in Tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane-HCl (Tris-HCl) compared with pure POC and lost about 26% of its initial weight after soaking for 28 days. The AgMBG phase incorporation also significantly endowed the resulting composite scaffolds with efficient antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria while preserving their favorable biocompatibility with soft tissue cells (i.e., human dermal fibroblast cells). Taken together, our results suggest that the synergistic effect of both AgMBG and POC make these newly designed AgMBG/POC composite scaffold an attractive candidate for soft tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Biomaterials with excellent osteogenic and angiogenic activities are desirable to repair massive bone defects. Decellularized matrix from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) has attracted particular attention for tissue regeneration because it has strong angiogenic effects and retains plentiful bioactive components. However, it has inferior osteoinductivity and osteoconductivity. In this study, we developed porous composite of SIS combined with mesoporous bioactive glass (SIS/MBG) with the goal of improving the mechanical and biological properties. SIS/MBG scaffolds showed uniform interconnected macropores (∼150 μm), high porosity (∼76%), and enhanced compressive strength (∼0.87 MPa). The proliferation and osteogenic gene expression (Runx2, ALP, Ocn, and Col-Iα) of rat bone marrow stromal cells (rBMSCs) as well as the proliferation, angiogenic gene expression (VEGF, bFGF, and KDR), and tube formation capacity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in SIS/MBG scaffolds were significantly upregulated compared with nonmesoporous bioactive glass (BG)-modified SIS (SIS/BG) and SIS-only scaffolds. Western blot analysis revealed that SIS/MBG induced rBMSCs to osteogenic differentiation through the activation of Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway, and SIS/MBG enhanced angiogenic activity of HUVEC through the activation of PI3k/Akt pathways. The in vivo results demonstrated that SIS/MBG scaffolds significantly enhanced new bone formation and neovascularization simultaneously in critical-sized rat calvarial defects as compared with SIS/BG and SIS. Collectively, the osteostimulative and angiostimulative biomimetic composite scaffold SIS/MBG represents an exciting biomaterial option for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering offers an alternative promising solution to treat a large number of bone injuries with special focus on pathological conditions, such as osteoporosis. In this scenario, the bone tissue regeneration may be promoted using bioactive and biomimetic materials able to direct cell response, while the desired scaffold architecture can be tailored by means of 3D printing technologies. In this context, our study aimed to develop a hybrid bioactive material suitable for 3D printing of scaffolds mimicking the natural composition and structure of healthy bone. Type I collagen and strontium-containing mesoporous bioactive glasses were combined to obtain suspensions able to perform a sol-gel transition under physiological conditions. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses confirmed the formation of fibrous nanostructures homogeneously embedding inorganic particles, whereas bioactivity studies demonstrated the large calcium phosphate deposition. The high-water content promoted the strontium ion release from the embedded glass particles, potentially enhancing the osteogenic behaviour of the composite. Furthermore, the suspension printability was assessed by means of rheological studies and preliminary extrusion tests, showing shear thinning and fast material recovery upon deposition. In conclusion, the reported results suggest that promising hybrid systems suitable for 3D printing of bioactive scaffolds for bone tissue engineering have been developed.

Silk fibroin/collagen protein hybrid cell-encapsulating hydrogels with tunable gelation and improved physical and biological properties. Acta Biomater 2018; 69:218-233. [PMID: 29410166 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2017.12.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2017] [Revised: 12/06/2017] [Accepted: 12/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Cell encapsulating hydrogels with tunable mechanical and biological properties are of special importance for cell delivery and tissue engineering. Silk fibroin and collagen, two typical important biological proteins, are considered potential as cell culture hydrogels. However, both have been used individually, with limited properties (e.g., collagen has poor mechanical properties and cell-mediated shrinkage, and silk fibroin from Bombyx mori (mulberry) lacks cell adhesion motifs). Therefore, the combination of them is considered to achieve improved mechanical and biological properties with respect to individual hydrogels. Here, we show that the cell-encapsulating hydrogels of mulberry silk fibroin / collagen are implementable over a wide range of compositions, enabled simply by combining the different gelation mechanisms. Not only the gelation reaction but also the structural characteristics, consequently, the mechanical properties and cellular behaviors are accelerated significantly by the silk fibroin / collagen hybrid hydrogel approach. Of note, the mechanical and biological properties are tunable to represent the combined merits of individual proteins. The shear storage modulus is tailored to range from 0.1 to 20 kPa along the iso-compositional line, which is considered to cover the matrix stiffness of soft-to-hard tissues. In particular, the silk fibroin / collagen hydrogels are highly elastic, exhibiting excellent resistance to permanent deformation under different modes of stress; without being collapsed or water-squeezed out (vs. not possible in individual proteins) - which results from the mechanical synergism of interpenetrating networks of both proteins. Furthermore, the role of collagen protein component in the hybrid hydrogels provides adhesive sites to cells, stimulating anchorage and spreading significantly with respect to mulberry silk fibroin gel, which lacks cell adhesion motifs. The silk fibroin / collagen hydrogels can encapsulate cells while preserving the viability and growth over a long 3D culture period. Our findings demonstrate that the silk / collagen hydrogels possess physical and biological properties tunable and significantly improved (vs. the individual protein gels), implying their potential uses for cell delivery and tissue engineering. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Development of cell encapsulating hydrogels with excellent physical and biological properties is important for the cell delivery and cell-based tissue engineering. Here we communicate for the first time the novel protein composite hydrogels comprised of 'Silk' and 'Collagen' and report their outstanding physical, mechanical and biological properties that are not readily achievable with individual protein hydrogels. The properties include i) gelation accelerated over a wide range of compositions, ii) stiffness levels covering 0.1 kPa to 20 kPa that mimic those of soft-to-hard tissues, iii) excellent elastic behaviors under various stress modes (bending, twisting, stretching, and compression), iv) high resistance to cell-mediated gel contraction, v) rapid anchorage and spreading of cells, and vi) cell encapsulation ability with a long-term survivability. These results come from the synergism of individual proteins of alpha-helix and beta-sheet structured networks. We consider the current elastic cell-encapsulating hydrogels of silk-collagen can be potentially useful for the cell delivery and tissue engineering in a wide spectrum of soft-to-hard tissues.

Lee JH, Mandakhbayar N, El-Fiqi A, Kim HW. Intracellular co-delivery of Sr ion and phenamil drug through mesoporous bioglass nanocarriers synergizes BMP signaling and tissue mineralization. Acta Biomater 2017; 60:93-108. [PMID: 28713017 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2017.07.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2017] [Revised: 07/09/2017] [Accepted: 07/12/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Inducing differentiation and maturation of resident multipotent stem cells (MSCs) is an important strategy to regenerate hard tissues in mal-calcification conditions. Here we explore a co-delivery approach of therapeutic molecules comprised of ion and drug through a mesoporous bioglass nanoparticle (MBN) for this purpose. Recently, MBN has offered unique potential as a nanocarrier for hard tissues, in terms of high mesoporosity, bone bioactivity (and possibly degradability), tunable delivery of biomolecules, and ionic modification. Herein Sr ion is structurally doped to MBN while drug Phenamil is externally loaded as a small molecule activator of BMP signaling, for the stimulation of osteo/odontogenesis and mineralization of human MSCs derived from dental pulp. The Sr-doped MBN (85Si:10Ca:5Sr) sol-gel processed presents a high mesoporosity with a pore size of ∼6nm. In particular, Sr ion is released slowly at a daily rate of ∼3ppm per mg nanoparticles for up to 7days, a level therapeutically effective for cellular stimulation. The Sr-MBN is internalized to most MSCs via an ATP dependent macropinocytosis within hours, increasing the intracellular levels of Sr, Ca and Si ions. Phenamil is loaded maximally ∼30% into Sr-MBN and then released slowly for up to 7days. The co-delivered molecules (Sr ion and Phenamil drug) have profound effects on the differentiation and maturation of cells, i.e., significantly enhancing expression of osteo/odontogenic genes, alkaline phosphatase activity, and mineralization of cells. Of note, the stimulation is a result of a synergism of Sr and Phenamil, through a Trb3-dependent BMP signaling pathway. This biological synergism is further evidenced in vivo in a mal-calcification condition involving an extracted tooth implantation in dorsal subcutaneous tissues of rats. Six weeks post operation evidences the osseous-dentinal hard tissue formation, which is significantly stimulated by the Sr/Phenamil delivery, based on histomorphometric and micro-computed tomographic analyses. The bioactive nanoparticles releasing both Sr ion and Phenamil drug are considered to be a promising therapeutic nanocarrier platform for hard tissue regeneration. Furthermore, this novel ion/drug co-delivery concept through nanoparticles can be extensively used for other tissues that require different therapeutic treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This study reports a novel design concept in inorganic nanoparticle delivery system for hard tissues - the co-delivery of therapeutic molecules comprised of ion (Sr) and drug (Phenamil) through a unique nanoparticle of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBN). The physico-chemical and biological properties of MBN enabled an effective loading of both therapeutic molecules and a subsequently sustained/controlled release. The co-delivered Sr and Phenamil demonstrated significant stimulation of adult stem cell differentiation in vitro and osseous/dentinal regeneration in vivo, through BMP signaling pathways. We consider the current combination of Sr ion with Phenamil is suited for the osteo/odontogenesis of stem cells for hard tissue regeneration, and further, this ion/drug co-delivery concept can extend the applications to other areas that require specific cellular and tissue functions.

Abstract
Commercial collagen membranes are used in oral surgical procedures as scaffolds for bone deposition in guided bone regeneration. Here, we have enriched them with graphene oxide (GO) via a simple non-covalent functionalization, exploiting the capacity of oxygenated carbon functional moieties of GO to interact through hydrogen bonding with collagen. In the present paper, the GO-coated membranes have been characterized in terms of stability, nano-roughness, biocompatibility and induction of inflammatory response in human primary gingival fibroblast cells. The obtained coated membranes are demonstrated not to leak GO in the bulk solution, and to change some features of the membrane, such as stiffness and adhesion between the membrane and the atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip. Moreover, the presence of GO increases the roughness and the total surface exposed to the cells, as demonstrated by AFM analyses. The obtained material is biocompatible, and does not induce inflammation in the tested cells.

Abstract
As one of the key fibrous proteins in the extracellular matrix, collagen plays a significant role in the structural and biomechanical characteristics of the vocal fold. Anchored fibrils of collagen create secure structural regions within the vocal folds and are strong enough to sustain vibratory impact and stretch during phonation. This contributes tensile strength, density, and organization to the vocal folds and influences health and pathogenesis. This review offers a comprehensive summary for a current understanding of collagen within normal vocal fold tissues throughout the life span as well as vocal pathology and wound repair. Further, collagen's molecular structure and biosynthesis are discussed. Finally, collagen alterations in tissue injury and repair and the incorporation of collagen-based biomaterials as a method of treating voice disorders are reviewed.

Abstract
Electrospun bioactive glass fibers show great potential as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering due to their architectural biomimicry of the bone extracellular matrix and their composition capable of providing soluble bioactive cues for bone regeneration and remodeling. Trace elements can be doped to further promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis during bone regeneration. Cationic substitution of strontium for calcium in bioactive glass positively enhances osteoblast phenotype, while suppressing osteoclast activity. Further, the addition of copper spontaneously improves the vascularization during neobone formation. The objective of this study was to fabricate and characterize electrospun bioactive glass fibers doped with strontium and copper and evaluate their potential for bone repair/regeneration in vitro. Different ratios of strontium and copper were doped in electrospun bioactive glass fibers. The released strontium and copper from doped fibers could reach effective concentrations within 40 h and last for 4 weeks. These bioactive glass fibers demonstrate their bioactivity by promoting osteoblastic and endothelial cell activity and inhibiting the formation of osteoclasts or bone resorbing cells. Additionally, in vitro cell culture of different cell types in the presence of extraction solutions of the electrospun bioactive glass fibers showed that the dopants achieved their individual goals without causing significant cytotoxicity. Altogether, this novel class of bioactive glass fibers holds great promise for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Regeneration of infected tissues is a globally challenging issue in medicine and dentistry. Common clinical therapies involving a complete removal of infected areas together with a treatment of antimicrobial drugs are often suboptimal. Biomaterials with anti-bacterial and pro-regenerative potential can offer a solution to this. Here we design a novel nanocarrier based on a mesoporous silicate-calcium glass by doping with Ag ions and simultaneously loading antimicrobial drugs onto mesopores. The nanocarriers could controllably release multiple ions (silver, calcium, and silicate) and drugs (tetracycline or chlorohexidine) to levels therapeutically relevant, and effectively internalize to human dental stem cells (∼90%) with excellent viability, ultimately stimulating odontogenic differentiation. The release of Ag ions had profound effects on most oral bacteria species through a membrane rupture, and the antibiotic delivery complemented the antibacterial functions by inhibiting protein synthesis. Of note, the nanocarriers easily anchored to bacteria membrane helping the delivery of molecules to an intra-bacterial space. When administered to an infected dentin-pulp defect in rats, the therapeutic nanocarriers effectively regenerated tissues following a complete bacterial killing. This novel concept of multiple-delivering ions and drug can be extensively applied to other infectious tissues that require relayed biological functions (anti-bacterial then pro-regenerative) for successful healing.

Abstract
The aim of regenerative engineering is to restore complex tissues and biological systems through convergence in the fields of advanced biomaterials, stem cell science, and developmental biology. Hydrogels are one of the most attractive biomaterials for regenerative engineering, since they can be engineered into tissue mimetic 3D scaffolds to support cell growth due to their similarity to native extracellular matrix. Advanced nano- and micro-technologies have dramatically increased the ability to control properties and functionalities of hydrogel materials by facilitating biomimetic fabrication of more sophisticated compositions and architectures, thus extending our understanding of cell-matrix interactions at the nanoscale. With this perspective, this review discusses the most commonly used hydrogel materials and their fabrication strategies for regenerative engineering. We highlight the physical, chemical, and functional modulation of hydrogels to design and engineer biomimetic tissues based on recent achievements in nano- and micro-technologies. In addition, current hydrogel-based regenerative engineering strategies for treating multiple tissues, such as musculoskeletal, nervous and cardiac tissue, are also covered in this review. The interaction of multiple disciplines including materials science, cell biology, and chemistry, will further play an important role in the design of functional hydrogels for the regeneration of complex tissues.

Abstract
An amino-functionalized mesoporous bioactive glass (N-MBG) with a high drug loading capacity and longer drug release time was successfully prepared by using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) in a short-time chemical reaction. The drug release performance of an MBG and the N-MBG were studied by loading gentamicin sulfate (GS) in a simulated body fluid solution. The results showed that the surface area of the N-MBG increases to 355.01 m2 g-1 after amination at 80 °C for 1 h compared with that of the MBG (288.07 m2 g-1). Meanwhile, the surface zeta-potential of the N-MBG charges from the original negative charge (-10.06 mV) to the positive charge (+5.30 mV). Furthermore, the GS loading rate of the N-MBG is up to 62.92 ± 2.02%, higher than that of the MBG (48.90 ± 1.71%). In addition, the N-MBG has a longer drug release period and the seven-day accumulative release from the N-MBG reached only 45.9 ± 1.8%, significantly lower than that of the MBG, 60.7 ± 2.3%. In vitro bioactivity tests suggested that the N-MBG exhibited good biological activity. In conclusion, the N-MBG with a higher loading capacity and longer drug release time can serve as a promising candidate as a drug carrier.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses are able to bond to bone and stimulate the growth of new tissue while dissolving over time, which makes them ideal materials for regenerative medicine. The advent of mesoporous glasses, which are typically synthesized via sol-gel routes, allowed researchers to develop a broad and versatile class of novel biomaterials that combine superior bone regenerative potential (compared to traditional melt-derived glasses) with the ability of incorporating drugs and various biomolecules for targeted therapy in situ. Mesoporous glass particles can be directly embedded as a bioactive phase within a non-porous (e.g., microspheres), porous (3D scaffolds) or injectable matrix, or be processed to manufacture a surface coating on inorganic or organic (macro)porous substrates, thereby obtaining hierarchical structures with multiscale porosity. This review provides a picture of composite systems and coatings based on mesoporous glasses and highlights the challenges for the future, including the great potential of inorganic-organic hybrid sol-gel biomaterials.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the biomineralization of a newly introduced bioactive glass-incorporated light-curable pulp capping material using human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). The product (Bioactive® [BA]) was compared with a conventional calcium hydroxide-incorporated (Dycal [DC]) and a light-curable (Theracal® [TC]) counterpart. Eluates from set specimens were used for investigating the cytotoxicity and biomineralization ability, determined by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red staining (ARS). Cations and hydroxide ions in the extracts were measured. An hDPSC viability of less than 70% was observed with 50% diluted extract in all groups and with 25% diluted extract in the DC. Culturing with 12.5% diluted BA extract statistically lowered ALP activity and biomineralization compared to DC (p < 0.05), but TC did not (p > 0.05). Ca (~110 ppm) and hydroxide ions (pH 11) were only detected in DC and TC. Ionic supplement-added BA, which contained similar ion concentrations as TC, showed similar ARS mineralization compared to TC. In conclusion, the BA was similar to, yet more cytotoxic to hDPSCs than, its DC and TC. The BA was considered to stimulate biomineralization similar to DC and TC only when it released a similar amount of Ca and hydroxide ions.

Abstract
Nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels, organic-inorganic hybrid materials, are of great interest as artificial three-dimensional (3D) biomaterials for biomedical applications. NC hydrogels are prepared in water by chemically or physically cross-linking organic polymers with nanomaterials (NMs). The incorporation of hard inorganic NMs into the soft organic polymer matrix enhances the physical, chemical, and biological properties of NC hydrogels. Therefore, NC hydrogels are excellent candidates for artificial 3D biomaterials, particularly in tissue engineering applications, where they can mimic the chemical, mechanical, electrical, and biological properties of native tissues. A wide range of functional NMs and synthetic or natural organic polymers have been used to design new NC hydrogels with novel properties and tailored functionalities for biomedical uses. Each of these approaches can improve the development of NC hydrogels and, thus, provide advanced 3D biomaterials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Providing an osteogenic stimulatory environment is a key strategy to construct stem cell-based bone-equivalent tissues. Here we design a stem cell delivering gel matrix made of collagen (Col) with bioactive glass nanocarriers (BGn) that incorporate osteogenic signaling molecule, fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18), a reservoir considered to cultivate and promote osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The presence of BGn in the gel was shown to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, possibly due to the therapeutic role of ions released. The mesoporous nature of BGn was effective in loading FGF18 at large quantity, and the FGF18 release from the BGn-Col gel matrix was highly sustainable with almost a zero-order kinetics, over 4 weeks as confirmed by the green fluorescence protein signal change. The released FGF18 was effective in accelerating osteogenesis (alkaline phosphatase activity and bone related gene expressions) and bone matrix formation (osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin production) of MSCs. This was attributed to the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, where the FGF18 release stimulated the endogenous secretion of BMP2 and the downstream signal Smad1/5/8. Taken together, the FGF18-BGn/Col gel is considered an excellent osteopromoting depot to support and signal MSCs for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Mesoporous bioactive glass-polycaprolactone (MBG-PCL) scaffolds have been prepared by robocasting, a layer by layer rapid prototyping method, by stacking of individual strati. Each stratus was independently analyzed during the cell culture tests with MC3T3-E1 preosteblast-like cells. The presence of MBG stimulates the colonization of the scaffolds by increasing the cell proliferation and differentiation. MBG-PCL composites not only enhanced pre-osteoblast functions but also allowed cell movement along its surface, reaching the upper stratus faster than in pure PCL scaffolds. The cells behavior on each individual stratus revealed that the scaffolds colonization depends on the chemical stimuli supplied by the MBG dissolution and surface changes associated to the apatite-like formation during the bioactive process. Finally, scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy revealed that the kinetic of cell migration strongly depends on the architectural features of the scaffolds, in such a way that layers interconnections are used as migration routes to reach the farther scaffolds locations from the initial cells source. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This manuscript provides new insights on cell behavior in bioceramic/polymer macroporous scaffolds prepared by rapid prototyping methods. The experiments proposed in this work have allowed the evaluation of cell behavior within the different levels of the scaffolds, i.e. from the initials source of cells towards the farther scaffold locations. We could demonstrate that the in vitro cell colonization is encouraged by the presence of a highly bioactive mesoporous glass (MBG). This bioceramic enhances the cell migration towards upper strati through the dissolution of chemical signals and the changes occurred on the scaffolds surface during the bioactive process. In addition the MBG promotes preosteblastic proliferation and differentiation respect to scaffolds made of pure polycaprolactone. Finally, this study reveals the significance of the architectural design to accelerate the cell colonization. These experiments put light on the factors that should be taken into account to accelerate the regeneration processes under in vivo conditions.

Abstract
Development of therapeutic strategies such as effective drug delivery is an urgent and yet unmet need for repair of damaged nervous systems. Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) regulates axonal regrowth of central and peripheral nervous systems; its inhibition, meanwhile, facilitates axonal outgrowth of injured neurons. Here we show that nanotherapeutics based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles loading PTEN-inhibitor bisperoxovanadium (BpV) are effective for delivery of drug molecules and consequent improvement of axonal outgrowth. Mesoporous nanocarriers loaded BpV drug at large amount (27 μg per 1 mg of carrier), and released sustainably over 10 d. Nanocarrier-BpV treatment of primary neurons from the dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) of rats and mice at various concentrations induced them to actively take up the nanocomplexes with an uptake efficiency as high as 85%. The nanocomplex-administered neurons exhibited significantly enhanced axonal outgrowth compared with those treated with free-BpV drug. The expression of a series of proteins involved in PTEN inhibition and downstream signaling was substantially up-/down-regulated by the nanocarrier-BpV system. Injection of the nanocarriers into neural tissues (DRG, brain cortex, and spinal cord), moreover, demonstrated successful integration into neurons, glial cells, oligodendrocytes, and macrophages, suggesting the possible nanotherapeutics applications in vivo. Together, PTEN-inhibitor delivery via mesoporous nanocarriers can be considered a promising strategy for stimulating axonal regeneration in central and peripheral nervous systems.

Abstract
An attractive strategy for the regeneration of tissues has been the use of extracellular matrix analogous biomaterials. Peptide-based fibrillar hydrogels have been shown to mimic the structure of extracellular matrix offering cells a niche to undertake their physiological functions. In this study, the capability of an ionic-complementary peptide FEFEFKFK (F, E, and K are phenylalanine, glutamic acid, and lysine, respectively) hydrogel to host human mesenchymal stem cells in three dimensions and induce their osteogenic differentiation is demonstrated. Assays showed sustained cell viability and proliferation throughout the hydrogel over 12 days of culture and these human mesenchymal stem cells differentiated into osteoblasts simply upon addition of osteogenic stimulation. Differentiated osteoblasts synthesized key bone proteins, including collagen-1 (Col-1), osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase. Moreover, mineralization occurred within the hydrogel. The peptide hydrogel is a naturally biodegradable material as shown by oscillatory rheology and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, where both viscoelastic properties and the degradation of the hydrogel were monitored over time, respectively. These findings demonstrate that a biodegradable octapeptide hydrogel can host and induce the differentiation of stem cells and has the potential for the regeneration of hard tissues such as alveolar bone.

Abstract
Bioactive inorganic materials are attractive for hard tissue regeneration, and they are used as delivery vehicles for pharmaceutical molecules, scaffolds and components for bio-composites. We demonstrated mesoporous bioactive glass (BG) nanospheres that exhibited the capacity to deliver pharmaceutical molecules. Mesoporous BG nanospheres with variable Ca to Si ratios were synthesized using sol-gel chemistry. By controlling the hydrolysis and condensation conditions, the diameter of the mesoporous BG nanospheres was changed from 300 nm to 1500 nm. The porous structure and surface area of the BG nanospheres were shown to be dependent on their composition. The surface area of the BG nanospheres decreased from 400 ± 2 m(2) g(-1) to 56 ± 0.1 m(2) g(-1) when the Ca/Si ratio increased from 5 to 50 at.%. When the mesoporous BG nanospheres were loaded with ibuprofen (IBU), they exhibited a sustained release profile in simulated body fluid (SBF). In the meantime, the IBU-loaded BG nanospheres degraded in SBF, and induced apatite layer formation on the surface as a result of their good bioactivity. When the BG nanospheres were used as a composite filler to poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL), they were shown to be effective at improving the in vitro bioactivity of PCL microspheres.

Abstract
The ability to modulate stem cell differentiation in a three dimensional (3D) microenvironment for bone tissue engineering in absence of exogenous pharmaceutical agents such as bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2) remains a challenge. In this study, we introduce extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking nanocomposite hydrogels to induce osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) for bone regeneration in absence of any osteoinducting factors. In particular, we have reinforced photocrosslinkable collagen-based matrix (gelatin methacryloyl, GelMA) used disk-shaped nanosilicates (nSi), a new class of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. We show that nanoengineered hydrogels supported migration and proliferation of encapsulated hMSCs, with no signs of cell apoptosis or inflammatory cytokine responses. The addition of nSi significantly enhances osteogenic differentiation of encapsulated hMSCs as evident by the increase in alkaline phosphates (ALP) activity and deposition of biomineralized matrix compared to GelMA without nSi. We also show that microfabricated nanoengineered microgels can be used to pattern and control cellular behaviour. Furthermore, we also show that nanoengineered hydrogel have high biocompatibility as determined by in vivo experiments using immunocompetent rat model. Specifically, the hydrogels showed minimum localized immune responses, indicating it ability for tissue engineering applications. Overall, we showed the ability of nanoengineered hydrogels loaded with 2D nanosilicates for osteogenic differentiation of stem cells in vitro, in absence of any growth factors such as BMP-2. Our in vivo studies show high biocompatibility of nanocomposites and show the potential for growth factor free bone regeneration.

Abstract
The recent development of bioactive glasses with nanoscale morphologies has spurred their specific applications in bone regeneration, for example as drug and gene delivery carriers. Bone engineering with stem cells genetically modified with this unique class of nanocarriers thus holds great promise in this avenue. Here we report the potential of the bioactive glass nanoparticle (BGN) system for the gene delivery of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) targeting bone. The composition of 15% Ca-added silica, proven to be bone-bioactive, was formulated into surface aminated mesoporous nanospheres with enlarged pore sizes, to effectively load and deliver bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) plasmid DNA. The enlarged mesopores were highly effective in loading BMP2-pDNA with an efficiency as high as 3.5 wt% (pDNA w.r.t. BGN), a level more than twice than for small-sized mesopores. The BGN nanocarriers released the genetic molecules in a highly sustained manner (for as long as 2 weeks). The BMP2-pDNA/BGN complexes were effectively internalized to rat MSCs with a cell uptake level of ∼73%, and the majority of cells were transfected to express the BMP2 protein. Subsequent osteogenesis of the transfected MSCs was demonstrated by the expression of bone-related genes, including bone sialoprotein, osteopontin, and osteocalcin. The MSCs transfected with BMP2-pDNA/BGN were locally delivered inside a collagen gel to the target calvarium defects. The results showed significantly improved bone regeneration, as evidenced by the micro-computed tomographic, histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses. This study supports the excellent capacity of the BGN system as a pDNA-delivery nanocarrier in MSCs, and the engineered system, BMP2-pDNA/BGN with MSCs, may be considered a new promising candidate to advance the therapeutic potential of stem cells through genetic modification, targeting bone defects and diseases.

Abstract
Bio-functionalized microfluidic systems were developed based on a silk protein hydrogel elastomeric materials. A facile multilayer fabrication method using gelatin sacrificial molding and layer-by-layer assembly was implemented to construct interconnected, three dimensional (3D) microchannel networks in silk hydrogels at 100 μm minimum feature resolution. Mechanically activated valves were implemented to demonstrate pneumatic control of microflow. The silk hydrogel microfluidics exhibit controllable mechanical properties, long-term stability in various environmental conditions, tunable in vitro and in vivo degradability in addition to optical transparency, providing unique features for cell/tissue-related applications than conventional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and existing hydrogel-based microfluidic options. As demonstrated in the work here, the all aqueous-based fabrication process at ambient conditions enabled the incorporation of active biological substances in the bulk phase of these new silk microfluidic systems during device fabrication, including enzymes and living cells, which are able to interact with the fluid flow in the microchannels. These silk hydrogel-based microfluidic systems offer new opportunities in engineering active diagnostic devices, tissues and organs that could be integrated in vivo, and for on-chip cell sensing systems.

Lee JH, Kang MS, Mahapatra C, Kim HW. Effect of Aminated Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles on the Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0150727. [PMID: 26974668 PMCID: PMC4790939 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0150727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2015] [Accepted: 02/17/2016] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive nanoparticles (MBNs) have been developed as promising additives to various types of bone or dentin regenerative material. However, biofunctionality of MBNs as dentin regenerative additive to dental materials have rarely been studied. We investigated the uptake efficiency of MBNs-NH2 with their endocytosis pathway and the role of MBNs-NH2 in odontogenic differentiation to clarify inherent biofunctionality. MBNs were fabricated by sol-gel synthesis, and 3% APTES was used to aminate these nanoparticles (MBNs-NH2) to reverse their charge from negative to positive. To characterize the MBNs-NH2, TEM, XRD, FTIR, zeta(ξ)-potential measurements, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis were performed. After primary cultured rat dental pulp stem cells (rDPSCs) were incubated with various concentrations of MBNs-NH2, stem cell viability (24 hours) with or without differentiated media, internalization of MBNs-NH2 in rDPSCs (~4 hours) via specific endocytosis pathway, intra or extracellular ion concentration and odontoblastic differentiation (~28 days) were investigated. Incubation with up to 50 μg/mL of MBNs-NH2 had no effect on rDPSCs viability with differentiated media (p>0.05). The internalization of MBNs-NH2 in rDPSCs was determined about 92% after 4 hours of incubation. Uptake was significantly decreased with ATP depletion and after 1 hour of pre-treatment with the inhibitor of macropinocytosis (p<0.05). There was significant increase of intracellular Ca and Si ion concentration in MBNs-NH2 treated cells compared to no-treated counterpart (p<0.05). The expression of odontogenic-related genes (BSP, COL1A, DMP-1, DSPP, and OCN) and the capacity for biomineralization (based on alkaline phosphatase activity and alizarin red staining) were significantly upregulated with MBNs-NH2. These results indicate that MBNs-NH2 induce odontogenic differentiation of rDPSCs and may serve as a potential dentin regenerative additive to dental material for promoting odontoblast differentiation.

Inhibition of osteoclastogenesis through siRNA delivery with tunable mesoporous bioactive nanocarriers. Acta Biomater 2016; 29:352-364. [PMID: 26432439 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2015.09.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2015] [Revised: 09/01/2015] [Accepted: 09/28/2015] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Gene silencing through siRNA delivery has shown great promise for treating diseases and repairing damaged tissues, including bone. This report is the first to develop siRNA delivery system in the inhibition of osteoclastic functions which in turn can help turn-over bone mass increase in the diseases like osteoporosis. For this reason, biocompatible and degradable nanocarriers that can effectively load and deliver genetic molecules to target cells and tissues are being actively sought by researchers. In this study, mesoporous bioactive glass nanospheres (MBG), a novel unique biocompatible degradable inorganic nanocarrier, is introduced. Furthermore, siRNA was designed to function by inhibiting the expression of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK) in order to suppress osteoclastogenesis. Amine-functionalized MBG were synthesized with tunable mesoporosities, showing a strong complexation with siRNA. An in vitro release profile indicated that the siRNA from the MBG was able to achieve a highly sustainable liberation for up to 4 days, confirming a temporary delivery system can be designed to function for that period of time. The intracellular uptake capacity of the complex siRNA(RANK)-MBG was recorded to be around 70%. Furthermore, the RANK-expressing cell population declined down to 29% due to the delivery of siRNA(RANK)-MBG (vs. 86% in control). The expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes, including c-fos, cathepsin-K, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), was substantially down-regulated by the siRNA delivery system. This study reports for the first time on the use of a novel MBG delivery system for siRNA that aims to suppress osteoclastic actions. MBGs may be a potential gene delivery platform for hard tissue repair and disease treatment due to the collective results which indicate a high loading capacity, temporary release kinetics, high intracellular uptake rate, and sufficient gene silencing effects, together with the intrinsic beneficial properties like bone-bioactivity and degradability. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This report is the first to develop siRNA delivery system of biocompatible and degradable nanocarriers made from a unique composition, i.e., mesoporous bioactive glass that can effectively load and deliver genetic molecules to osteoclastic cells. We proved through a series of studies that the biocompatible nanocarriers are effective for the delivery of siRNA in the inhibition of osteoclastic functions which thus might be considered as a nanocarrier platform to help turn-over bone mass increase in the diseases like osteoporosis.

Abstract
The incorporation of nanomaterials in hydrogels (hydrated networks of crosslinked polymers) has emerged as a useful method for generating biomaterials with tailored functionality. With the available engineering approaches it is becoming much easier to fabricate nanocomposite hydrogels that display improved performance across an array of electrical, mechanical, and biological properties. In this review, we discuss the fundamental aspects of these materials as well as recent developments that have enabled their application. Specifically, we highlight synthesis and fabrication, and the choice of nanomaterials for multifunctionality as ways to overcome current material property limitations. In addition, we review the use of nanocomposite hydrogels within the framework of biomedical and pharmaceutical disciplines.

Abstract
Moldable hydrogels that incorporate stem cells hold great promise for tissue engineering. They secure the encapsulated cells for required periods while allowing a permeable exchange of nutrients and gas with the surroundings. Core-shell fibrous structured hydrogel system represents these properties relevant to stem cell delivery and defect-adjustable tissue engineering. A designed dual concentric nozzle is used to simultaneously deposit collagen and alginate with a core-shell structured continuous fiber form in the ionic calcium bath. We aimed to impart extrinsic osteogenic cues in the nanoparticulate form, i.e., bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGn), inside the alginate shell, while encapsulating rat mesenchymal stem cells in the collagen core. Ionic measurement in aqueous solution indicated a continuous release of calcium ions from the BGn-added and -free scaffolds, whereas silicon was only released from the BGn-containing scaffolds. The presence of BGn allowed higher number of cells to migrate into the scaffolds when implanted in subcutaneous tissues of rat. Cell viability was preserved in the presence of the BGn, with no significant differences noticed from the control. The presence of BGn enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of the encapsulated rat mesenchymal stem cells, presenting higher levels of alkaline phosphatase activity as well as bone related genes, including collagen type I, bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin. Taken together, the incorporated BGn potentiated the capacity of the core-shell fibrous hydrogel system to deliver stem cells targeting bone tissue engineering.
