Mitić D, Čarkić J, Jaćimović J, Lazarević M, Jakšić Karišik M, Toljić B, Milašin J. The Impact of Nano-Hydroxyapatite Scaffold Enrichment on Bone Regeneration In Vivo-A Systematic Review. Biomimetics (Basel) 2024; 9:386. [PMID: 39056827 PMCID: PMC11274561 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics9070386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES In order to ensure improved and accelerated bone regeneration, nano-hydroxyapatite scaffolds are often enriched with different bioactive components to further accelerate and improve bone healing. In this review, we critically examined whether the enrichment of nHAp/polymer scaffolds with growth factors, hormones, polypeptides, microRNAs and exosomes improved new bone formation in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Out of 2989 articles obtained from the literature search, 106 papers were read in full, and only 12 articles met the inclusion criteria for this review. RESULTS Several bioactive components were reported to stimulate accelerated bone regeneration in a variety of bone defect models, showing better results than bone grafting with nHAp scaffolds alone. CONCLUSIONS The results indicated that composite materials based on nHAp are excellent candidates as bone substitutes, while nHAp scaffold enrichment further accelerates bone regeneration. The standardization of animal models should be provided in order to clearly define the most significant parameters of in vivo studies. Only in this way can the adequate comparison of findings from different in vivo studies be possible, further advancing our knowledge on bone regeneration and enabling its translation to clinical settings.

Abstract
The dual delivery platforms used in bone tissue engineering provide supplementary bioactive compounds that include distinct medicines and growth factors thereby aiding enhanced bone regeneration. The delivery of these compounds can be adjusted for a short or prolonged time based on the requirement by altering various parameters of the carrier platform. The platforms thus used are fabricated to mimic the niche of the bone microenvironment, either in the form of porous 3D structures, microspheres, or films. Thus, this review article focuses on the concept of dual drug delivery platform and its importance, classification of various platforms for dual drug delivery specific to bone tissue engineering, and finally highlights the foresight into the future direction of these techniques for better clinical applications.

Abstract
The repair of articular cartilage defects is still challenging in the fields of orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery due to the avascular structure of articular cartilage and the limited regenerative capacity of mature chondrocytes. To provide viable treatment options, tremendous efforts have been made to develop various chondrogenically-functionalized biomaterials for cartilage tissue engineering. Peptides that are derived from and mimic the functions of chondroconductive cartilage extracellular matrix and chondroinductive growth factors, represent a unique group of bioactive agents for chondrogenic functionalization. Since they can be chemically synthesized, peptides bear better reproducibility, more stable efficacy, higher modifiability and yielding efficiency in comparison with naturally derived biomaterials and recombinant growth factors. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge in the designs of the chondroinductive/chondroconductive peptides, the underlying molecular mechanisms and their-functionalized biomaterials for cartilage tissue engineering. We also systematically compare their in-vitro and in-vivo efficacies in inducing chondrogenesis. Our vision is to stimulate the development of novel peptides and their-functionalized biomaterials for cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
Growth factors play a critical role in tissue repair and regeneration. However, their clinical success is limited by their low stability, short half-life, and rapid diffusion from the delivery site. Supraphysiological growth factor concentrations are often required to demonstrate efficacy but can lead to adverse reactions, such as inflammatory complications and increased cancer risk. These issues have motivated the development of delivery systems that enable sustained release and controlled presentation of growth factors. This review specifically focuses on bioconjugation strategies to enhance growth factor activity for bone, cartilage, and osteochondral applications. We describe approaches to localize growth factors using noncovalent and covalent methods, bind growth factors via peptides, and mimic growth factor function with mimetic peptide sequences. We also discuss emerging and future directions to control spatiotemporal growth factor delivery to improve functional tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
The inclusion of biofunctional molecules with synthetic bone graft substitutes has the potential to enhance tissue regeneration during treatment of traumatic bone injuries. The clinical use of growth factors has though been associated with complications, some serious. The use of smaller, active peptides has the potential to overcome these problems and provide a cost-effective, safe route for the manufacture of enhanced bone graft substitutes. This review considers the design of peptide-enhanced bone graft substitutes, and how peptide selection and attachment method determine clinical efficacy. It was determined that covalent attachment may reduce the known risks associated with growth factor-loaded bone graft substitutes, providing a predictable tissue response and greater clinical efficacy. Peptide choice was found to be critical, but even within recognised families of biologically active peptides, the configurations that appeared to most closely mimic the biological molecules involved in natural bone healing processes were most potent. It was concluded that rational, evidence-based design of peptide-enhanced bone graft substitutes offers a pathway to clinical maturity in this highly promising field.

Abstract
Background Simvastatin, a drug for lowering serum cholesterol, has been shown to enhance bone regeneration, but few studies have qualitatively and quantitatively tested its effect when used topically in different animal models. This study aims to investigate topical administration of simvastatin as a bone regeneration inducer by testing its effect on bone formation in both long tubular bone and flat bone defect, and the mechanism involved. Methods Two animal models were used for testing the effect of simvastatin on entochondrostosis and intramembranous ossification respectively. Simvastatin of different dosages combined with poly lactic acid were implanted in extreme radial defects of 12 adult male New Zealand rabbits. Bone formation was monitored using x-ray and CT-scan and measured using x-ray scales, pixel values and spiral CT-scan for 16 weeks before being subject to histological and immunohistochemistry examination. The result was compared with that of autograft and blank control groups. Simvastatin with thrombin and fibrin sealant were implanted in calvarial defects of three Rhesus monkeys and monitored for 18 weeks. Bone formation was compared between the simvastatin and the blank control group using spiral CT-scan and histological examination. Results Both visual and quantitative measurements by x-ray and spiral CT-scan indicated significant bone formation in radial defects in all simvastatin groups and the autograft group whereas no bone formation was found in control groups. There was no significant difference in bone formation quantity between 100 mg simvastatin and autograft. Histological and immunohistochemistry examination indicated entochondrostosis in association with positive expression of BMP-2 and HIF-1 alpha. Spiral CT-scan and histological examination of calvarial defects of monkeys showed intramembranous ossification after simvastatin implantation. No change was found in the control group. Conclusions Topical administration of simvastatin induces entochondrostosis and intramembranous ossification by enhancing expression of BMP-2 and HIF-1 alpha. The effect of simvastatin on bone regeneration is comparable to autograft. The translational potential of this article Topical administration of simvastatin can repair bone defect in both long tubular bones and flat bones of rabbits and monkeys as effectively as autograft. Given that it is cheap, safe and already in clinical use, simvastatin might be considered as a bone regeneration inducer with great potential.

Preliminary evaluation of BMP-2-derived peptide in repairing a peri-implant critical size defect: A canine model. J Formos Med Assoc 2020; 120:1212-1220.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE A synthetic bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2-derived peptide has been discovered to promote bone regeneration. The present study investigated the potential of the BMP-2 peptide combined with hydroxyapatite (HAp)/β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP)/collagen (Col) composite in repairing a peri-implant critical size defect. METHODS Twenty-four saddle-type alveolar defects (10 mm mesiodistally and 4 mm apicocoronally) were surgically prepared in edentulous ridges in four male beagle dogs. Following implant placement, the defects with vertically exposed implant fixtures received (a) HAp/TCP/Col composite, (b) HAp/TCP/Col + 4 mg/mL BMP-2 peptide, (c) HAp/TCP/Col + 20 mg/mL BMP-2 peptide, or (d) HAp/TCP/Col + 0.2 mg/mL recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2). Bone regeneration and mineralization were assessed using radiography, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), fluorescence labeling, and histologic analyses after healing for 4 or 8 weeks. Implant stability was measured using resonance frequency analysis. RESULTS The 20 mg/mL BMP-2 peptide groups demonstrated a distinguishable advantage in bone regeneration potential over the control groups, as observed on radiographic imaging and histologic examination, although no significant difference was found in implant stability and histomorphometric analysis of mineralization levels. However, the performance of the 20 mg/mL BMP-2 peptide groups were inferior to that of the 0.2 mg/mL rhBMP-2 groups. CONCLUSION The BMP-2 peptide may accelerate peri-implant bone regeneration. The BMP-2 peptide at 20 mg/mL still cannot complete bone repair of peri-implant critical size defect. The BMP-2 peptide at 20 mg/mL has similar osteoinductive performance to the rhBMP-2 at 0.02 mg/mL.

Abstract
An injectable, click-crosslinking (Cx) hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel scaffold modified with a bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) mimetic peptide (BP) was prepared for bone tissue engineering applications. The injectable click-crosslinking HA formulation was prepared from HA-tetrazine (HA-Tet) and HA-cyclooctene (HA-TCO). The Cx-HA hydrogel scaffold was prepared simply by mixing HA-Tet and HA-TCO. The Cx-HA hydrogel scaffold was stable for a longer period than HA both in vitro and in vivo, which was verified via in-vivo fluorescence imaging in real time. BP acted as an osteogenic differentiation factor for human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). After its formation in vivo, the Cx-HA scaffold provided a fine environment for the hDPSCs, and the biocompatibility of the hydrogel scaffold with tissue was good. Like traditional BMP-2, BP induced the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs in vitro. The physical properties and injectability of the chemically loaded BP for the Cx-HA hydrogel (Cx-HA-BP) were nearly identical to those of the physically loaded BP hydrogels and the Cx-HA-BP formulation quickly formed a hydrogel scaffold in vivo. The chemically loaded hydrogel scaffold retained the BP for over a month. The Cx-HA-BP hydrogel was better at inducing the osteogenic differentiation of loaded hDPSCs, because it prolonged the availability of BP. In summary, we successfully developed an injectable, click-crosslinking Cx-HA hydrogel scaffold to prolong the availability of BP for efficient bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Engineered living materials (ELMs) are an exciting new frontier, where living organisms create highly functional materials. In particular, protein ELMs have the advantage that their properties can be manipulated via simple molecular biology. Caf1 is a protein ELM that is especially attractive as a biomaterial on account of its unique combination of properties: bacterial cells export it as a massive, modular, non-covalent polymer which is resistant to thermal and chemical degradation and free from animal material. Moreover, it is biologically inert, allowing the bioactivity of each 15 kDa monomeric Caf1 subunit to be specifically engineered by mutagenesis and co-expressed in the same Escherichia coli cell to produce a mixture of bioactive Caf1 subunits. RESULTS Here, we show by gel electrophoresis and transmission electron microscopy that the bacterial cells combine these subunits into true mosaic heteropolymers. By combining two separate bioactive motifs in a single mosaic polymer we demonstrate its utility by stimulating the early stages of bone formation by primary human bone marrow stromal cells. Finally, using a synthetic biology approach, we engineer a mosaic of three components, demonstrating that Caf1 complexity depends solely upon the variety of monomers available. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate the utility of engineered Caf1 mosaic polymers as a simple route towards the production of multifunctional biomaterials that will be useful in biomedical applications such as 3D tissue culture and wound healing. Additionally, in situ Caf1 producing cells could create complex bacterial communities for biotechnology. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract
Depending on the duration of healing process, 5-10% of bone fractures may result in either nonunion or delayed union. Because nonunions remain a clinically important problem, there is interest in the utilization of tissue engineering strategies to augment bone fracture repair. Three basic biologic elements that are required for bone regeneration include cells, extracellular matrix scaffolds and biological adjuvants for growth, differentiation and angiogenesis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable to differentiate into various types of the cells including chondrocytes, myoblasts, osteoblasts, and adipocytes. Due to their potential for multilineage differentiation, MSCs are considered important contributors in bone tissue engineering research. In this review we highlight the progress in the application of biomaterials, stem cells and tissue engineering in promoting nonunion bone fracture healing. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Historically, high-energy extremity injuries resulting in significant soft-tissue trauma and bone loss were often deemed unsalvageable and treated with primary amputation. With improved soft-tissue coverage and nerve repair techniques, these injuries now present new challenges in limb-salvage surgery. High-energy extremity trauma is pre-disposed to delayed or unpredictable bony healing and high rates of infection, depending on the integrity of the soft-tissue envelope. Furthermore, orthopedic trauma surgeons are often faced with the challenge of stabilizing and repairing large bony defects while promoting an optimal environment to prevent infection and aid bony healing. During the last decade, nanomedicine has demonstrated substantial potential in addressing the two major issues intrinsic to orthopedic traumas (i.e., high infection risk and low bony reconstruction) through combatting bacterial infection and accelerating/increasing the effectiveness of the bone-healing process. This review presents an overview and discusses recent challenges and opportunities to address major orthopedic trauma through nanomedical approaches.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to evaluate bone formation and tissue response to porous poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) cement with or without hydroxyapatite (HA) in a rabbit mandibular model. Therefore, 14 New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into two groups of seven according to the designed study end points of 4 and 12 weeks. For each rabbit, two decorticated defects (6 mm in height and 10 mm in width for each) were prepared at both sides of the mandible. Subsequently, the defects were filled with, respectively, porous PMMA and porous PMMA-HA cement. After reaching the designated implantation period, the rabbits were euthanized and the mandibles were retrieved for histological analysis. Results showed that both porous PMMA and porous PMMA-HA supported bone repair. Neither of the bone cements caused significant inflammation to nerve or other surrounding tissues. After implantation of 12 weeks, majority of the porosity was filled with newly formed bone for both cements, which supports the concept that a porous structure within PMMA can enhance bone ingrowth. Histomorphometrical evaluation, using histological grading scales, demonstrated that, at both implantation times, the presence of HA in the PMMA enhanced bone formation. Bone was always in direct contact with the HA particles, while intervening fibrous tissue was present at the PMMA-bone interface. On the basis of results, it was concluded that injectable porous PMMA-HA cement might be a good candidate for craniofacial bone repair, which should be further evaluated in a more clinically relevant large animal model.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of locally applied simvastatin plus biphasic calcium phosphate (BoneCeramic(r)) or collagen sponge on bone formation in critical-sized bone defects. METHODS Thirty defects of 5mm in diameter were created bilaterally with a trephine bur in the calvariae of fifteen Wistar rats. The defects were divided into five groups: group 1 - control, no treatment; group 2 (BoneCeramic(r)); group 3 (BoneCeramic(r) + 0.1mg simvastatin); group 4 (collagen sponge); and group 5 (collagen sponge + 0.1mg simvastatin). After eight weeks the animals were euthanized and their calvariae were histologically processed. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections were subjected to histological and histomorphometrical analyses. The area of newly formed bone was calculated and compared between groups. RESULTS The greater amount of a bone-like tissue was formed around the carrier in group 3 (BoneCeramic(r) + 0.1mg simvastatin) followed by group 2 (BoneCeramic(r)), and almost no bone was formed in the other groups. Group 3 was significantly different compared to group 2, and both groups were significantly different compared to the other groups. CONCLUSION Simvastatin combined with BoneCeramic(r) induced significantly greater amounts of newly formed bone and has great potential for the healing of bone defects.

Abstract
The novel synthetic peptide P17-BMP-2 could promote cell attachment and enhance osteogenic capability. A composite, comprising nano-hydroxyapatite, collagen and poly(L-lactide) (nHAC/PLLA), was an efficient scaffold for carrier of P17-BMP-2. Our aim was to investigate whether nHAC/PLLA/P17-BMP-2 accelerates the osteogenesis as a reliable method for mandibular defect healing in this study. The repair capability was assessed by the gross observation, X-ray test and histological observation in four animal experiment groups at 2 week and 4 week after surgery: Group A (control), Group B (nHAC/PLLA treatment), Group C (nHAC/PLLA with 2 mg/g P17-BMP-2 treatment) and Group D (nHAC/PLLA with 10 mg/g P17-BMP-2 treatment). The Lane-Sandhu X-ray scores of the four groups were compared among four groups as well. The results showed that the composites containing the highest content of P17- BMP-2 performed best. Therefore, the nHAC/PLLA with P17-BMP-2 composite can accelerate the osteogenesis for mandibular defect healing and could be an ideal biological material as a bone graft material option for clinical applications.

Abstract
Bone substitute is a therapeutic approach to treat bone abnormalities. A scaffold serves mainly as osteoconductive elements. To facilitate a better biological performance, short collagen peptide was immobilized onto hydrolyzed poly(butylene succinate)/β-tricalcium phosphate (HPBSu/TCP) scaffolds. PBSu/TCP (80:20) scaffolds were fabricated by a supercritical CO2 technique, hydrolyzed with 0.6 M NaOH and conjugated with short collagen peptide tagged with or without red fluorescence. The surface morphology and porous structure of scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and micro-computed tomography. Human mesenchymal stem cells were cultured onto the scaffolds and examined for osteogenic differentiation and biomineralization in vitro by means of alkaline phosphatase activity, alizarin red staining, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The PBSu/TCP and HPBSu/TCP scaffolds were successfully prepared. Scanning electron microscopy and micro-computed tomography results showed that the porosity was distributed throughout the scaffolds with the pore sizes in the range of 250–900 µm. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated retention of tagged short collagen peptide on the scaffold. Mesenchymal stem cells adhered and grew well on the material. Under osteogenic induction, cells cultured on the short collagen peptide -immobilized scaffold significantly produced a greater amount of alkaline phosphatase activity and positive mineralization than those cultured on the control scaffold. The present results have shown that the short collagen peptide-immobilized HPBSu/TCP scaffold enhanced osteoinduction and biomineralization of stem cell-derived osteoblasts, possibly via stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity. This suggests the potential use of osteogenic peptide-immobilized material in bone tissue engineering for correcting bone defects.

Abstract
In addition to excellent biocompatibility and mechanical performance, the new generation of bone and craniofacial implants are expected to proactively contribute to the regeneration process and dynamically interact with the host tissue. To this end, integration and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents has become a rapidly expanding area. The incorporated active molecules can offer supplementary features including promoting oteoconduction and angiogenesis, impeding bacterial infection and modulating host body reaction. Major limitations of the current practices consist of low drug stability overtime, poor control of release profile and kinetics as well as complexity of finding clinically appropriate drug dosage. In consideration of the multifaceted cascade of bone regeneration process, this research is moving towards dual/multiple drug delivery, where precise control on simultaneous or sequential delivery, considering the possible synergetic interaction of the incorporated bioactive factors is of utmost importance. Herein, recent advancements in fabrication of synthetic load bearing implants equipped with various drug delivery systems are reviewed. Smart drug delivery solutions, newly developed to provide higher tempo-spatial control on the delivery of the pharmaceutical agents for targeted and stimuli responsive delivery are highlighted. The future trend of implants with bone drug delivery mechanisms and the most common challenges hindering commercialization and the bench to bedside progress of the developed technologies are covered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone tissue engineering and the research surrounding peptides has expanded significantly over the last few decades. Several peptides have been shown to support and stimulate the bone healing response and have been proposed as therapeutic vehicles for clinical use. The aim of this comprehensive review is to present the clinical and experimental studies analysing the potential role of peptides for bone healing and bone regeneration. METHODS A systematic review according to PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Articles presenting peptides capable of exerting an upregulatory effect on osteoprogenitor cells and bone healing were included in the study. RESULTS Based on the available literature, a significant amount of experimental in vitro and in vivo evidence exists. Several peptides were found to upregulate the bone healing response in experimental models and could act as potential candidates for future clinical applications. However, from the available peptides that reached the level of clinical trials, the presented results are limited. CONCLUSION Further research is desirable to shed more light into the processes governing the osteoprogenitor cellular responses. With further advances in the field of biomimetic materials and scaffolds, new treatment modalities for bone repair will emerge.

Abstract
There is an ongoing need for effective materials that can replace autologous bone grafts in the clinical treatment of bone injuries and deficiencies. In recent years, research efforts have shifted away from a focus on inert biomaterials to favor scaffolds that mimic the biochemistry and structure of the native bone extracellular matrix (ECM). The expectation is that such scaffolds will integrate with host tissue and actively promote osseous healing. To further enhance the osteoinductivity of bone graft substitutes, ECM-mimetic scaffolds are being engineered with a range of growth factors (GFs). The technologies used to generate GF-modified scaffolds are often inspired by natural processes that regulate the association between endogenous ECMs and GFs. The purpose of this review is to summarize research centered on the development of regenerative scaffolds that replicate the fundamental collagen-hydroxyapatite structure of native bone ECM, and the functionalization of these scaffolds with GFs that stimulate critical events in osteogenesis.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), a growth factor that induces osteoblast differentiation and promotes bone regeneration, has been extensively investigated in bone tissue engineering. The peptides of bioactive domains, corresponding to residues 73-92 of BMP-2 become an alternative to reduce adverse side effects caused by the use of high doses of BMP-2 protein. In this study, BMP-2 peptide functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs-pep) were synthesized by covalently grafting BMP-2 peptide on the surface of nanoparticles via an aminosilane linker, and dexamethasone (DEX) was then loaded into the channel of MSNs to construct nanoparticulate osteogenic delivery systems (DEX@MSNs-pep). The in vitro cell viability of MSNs-pep was tested with bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exposure to different particle concentrations, revealing that the functionalized MSNs had better cytocompatibility than their bare counterparts, and the cellular uptake efficiency of MSNs-pep was remarkably larger than that of bare MSNs. The in vitro results also show that the MSNs-pep promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in terms of the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium deposition, and expression of bone-related protein. Moreover, the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs can be further enhanced by incorporating of DEX into MSNs-pep. After intramuscular implantation in rats for 3 weeks, the computed tomography (CT) images and histological examination indicate that this nanoparticulate osteogenic delivery system induces effective osteoblast differentiation and bone regeneration in vivo. Collectively, the BMP-2 peptide and DEX incorporated MSNs can act synergistically to enhance osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which have potential applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Trauma and disease frequently result in fractures or critical sized bone defects and their management at times necessitates bone grafting. The process of bone healing or regeneration involves intricate network of molecules including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). BMPs belong to a larger superfamily of proteins and are very promising and intensively studied for in the enhancement of bone healing. More than 20 types of BMPs have been identified but only a subset of BMPs can induce de novo bone formation. Many research groups have shown that BMPs can induce differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and stem cells into osteogenic cells which are capable of producing bone. This review introduces BMPs and discusses current advances in preclinical and clinical application of utilizing various biomaterial carriers for local delivery of BMPs to enhance bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bone matrix provides unknown essential cues for osteoblast lineage cells to develop, grow, repair and remodel bones via adherent plasma membrane. Because of its tight sealing with bone matrix in vivo and culture surface in vitro as well, the adherent plasma membrane has been unveiled target of investigation to date. Herein, we report a new approach to explore the adherence plasma membrane of osteoblasts with biofunctional peptide candidates in a bacterial peptide library. To accomplish this, human osteoblast like hFOB 1.19 cells were cultured on porous filter with 8 μm pore through which bacterial peptides were allowed to meet the membrane for affinity selection. The affinity-selected peptides were coated on culture plate to further evaluate their influence on osteoblastic cell adhesion, as well as expressions of osteoblast differentiation markers, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin. Finally, the serial screenings identified two prominent active peptides that enhanced the differentiation markers nearly to the same level as a control peptide of bone morphogenetic protein-2. Osteogenic activity is expected for the peptides when immobilized on bone implant surface.

Abstract
Polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering can be prepared with a multitude of different techniques. Many diverse approaches have recently been under development. The adaptation of conventional preparation methods, such as electrospinning, induced phase separation of polymer solutions or porogen leaching, which were developed originally for other research areas, are described. In addition, the utilization of novel fabrication techniques, such as rapid prototyping or solid free-form procedures, with their many different methods to generate or to embody scaffold structures or the usage of self-assembly systems that mimic the properties of the extracellular matrix are also described. These methods are reviewed and evaluated with specific regard to their utility in the area of tissue engineering.

Abstract
It is known that angiogenesis plays an important role in bone regeneration and that release of angiogenic and osteogenic growth factors can enhance bone formation. Multiple growth factors play key roles in processes that lead to tissue formation/regeneration during natural tissue development and repair. Therefore, treatments aiming to mimic tissue regeneration can benefit from multiple growth factor release, and there remains a need for simple clinically relevant approaches for dual growth factor release. We hypothesized that mineral coatings could be used as a platform for controlled incorporation and release of multiple growth factors. Specifically, mineral-coated scaffolds were "dip coated" in multiple growth factor solutions, and growth factor binding and release were dictated by the growth factor-mineral binding affinity. Beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds were fabricated using indirect solid-free form fabrication techniques and coated with a thin conformal mineral layer. Mineral-coated β-TCP scaffolds were sequentially dipped in recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF) and a modular bone morphogenetic peptide, a mineral-binding version of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), solutions to allow for the incorporation of each growth factor. The dual release profile showed sustained release of both growth factors for over more than 60 days. Scaffolds releasing either rhVEGF alone or the combination of growth factors showed an increase in blood vessel ingrowth in a dose-dependent manner in a sheep intramuscular implantation model. This approach demonstrates a "modular design" approach, in which a controllable biologics carrier is integrated into a structural scaffold as a thin surface coating.

Abstract
Enhancement of osteogenic capacity was achieved in a mineralized collagen composite, nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen (nHAC), by loading with synthetic peptides derived from BMP-2 residues 32-48 (P17-BMP-2). Rabbit marrow stromal cells (MSCs) were used in vitro to study cell biocompatibility, attachment and differentiation on the mineralized collagen composite by a cell counting kit, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and real-time reversed transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis (RT-PCR). Optimal peptide dosage (1.0 µg/mL) was obtained by RT-PCR analysis in vitro. In addition, the relative expression level of OPN and OCN was significantly upregulated on P17-BMP-2/nHAC compared with nHAC. In vitro results of P17-BMP-2 release kinetics demonstrated that nHAC released P17-BMP-2 in a controlled and sustained manner. In the rabbit mandibular box-shaped bone defect model, osteogenic capacity of three groups (nHAC, P17-BMP-2/nHAC, rhBMP-2/nHAC) was evaluated. Compared to the nHAC group, bone repair responses in both P17-BMP-2/nHAC and rhBMP-2/nHAC group implants were significantly improved based on histological analysis. The osteogenic response of the P17-BMP-2/nHAC group was similar to that of the rhBMP-2/nHAC group.

Abstract
Despite the potential for growth factor delivery strategies to promote orthopedic implant healing, there is a need for growth factor delivery methods that are controllable and amenable to clinical translation. We have developed a modular bone growth factor, herein termed “modular bone morphogenetic peptide (mBMP)”, which was designed to efficiently bind to the surface of orthopedic implants and also stimulate new bone formation. The purpose of this study was to coat a hydroxyapatite-titanium implant with mBMP and evaluate bone healing across a bone-implant gap in the sheep femoral condyle. The mBMP molecules efficiently bound to a hydroxyapatite-titanium implant and 64% of the initially bound mBMP molecules were released in a sustained manner over 28 days. The results demonstrated that the mBMP-coated implant group had significantly more mineralized bone filling in the implant-bone gap than the control group in C-arm computed tomography (DynaCT) scanning (25% more), histological (35% more) and microradiographic images (50% more). Push-out stiffness of the mBMP group was nearly 40% greater than that of control group whereas peak force did not show a significant difference. The results of this study demonstrated that mBMP coated on a hydroxyapatite-titanium implant stimulates new bone formation and may be useful to improve implant fixation in total joint arthroplasty applications.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the improvement of osteogenic potential of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bone substitute coated with synthetic cell-binding peptide sequences in a standardized rabbit sinus model. Methods Standardized 6-mm diameter defects were created bilaterally on the maxillary sinus of ten male New Zealand white rabbits, receiving BCP bone substitute coated with synthetic cell binding peptide sequences on one side (experimental group) and BCP bone substitute without coating (control group) on the other side. Histologic and histomorphometric analysis of bone formation was carried out after a healing period of 4 or 8 weeks. Results Histological analysis revealed signs of new bone formation in both experimental groups (4- and 8-week healing groups) with a statistically significant increase in bone formation in the 4-week healing group compared to the control group. However, no statistically significant difference in bone formation was found between the 8-week healing group and the control group. Conclusions This study found that BCP bone substitute coated with synthetic cell-binding peptide sequences enhanced osteoinductive potential in a standardized rabbit sinus model and its effectiveness was greater in the 4-week healing group than in the 8-week healing group.

Abstract
Peptides are attractive as novel therapeutic reagents, since they are flexible in adopting and mimicking the local structural features of proteins. Versatile capabilities to perform organic synthetic manipulations are another unique feature of peptides compared to protein-based medicines, such as antibodies. On the other hand, a disadvantage of using a peptide for a therapeutic purpose is its low stability and/or high level of aggregation. During the past two decades, numerous peptides were developed for the treatment of bone diseases, and some peptides have already been used for local applications to repair bone defects in the clinic. However, very few peptides have the ability to form bone themselves. We herein summarize the effects of the therapeutic peptides on bone loss and/or local bone defects, including the results from basic studies. We also herein describe some possible methods for overcoming the obstacles associated with using therapeutic peptide candidates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desferrioxamine (DFO), an iron chelator, can stimulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis by stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factor 1α. We postulate that a bone graft substitute combined with DFO is beneficial to the reconstruction of bone defects. METHODS We implanted pure true bone ceramic (TBC) and DFO-loaded TBC (DFO/TBC) scaffolds into 15-mm rabbit radial defects for 8 weeks. The bone segments were examined with X-ray, micro-CT and histology. RESULTS Radiographs showed that the DFO/TBC scaffold became radiopaque, and the gaps between the scaffold and radial cut ends were often invisible. Variables from micro-CT, including the bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and trabecular number (Tb.N), were significantly increased in pure TBC and DFO/TBC scaffolds that had been implanted for 8 weeks compared to unimplanted TBC scaffolds (p values <0.05-0.001). Between the former two groups, BV/TV and Tb.Th were significantly increased in DFO/TBC scaffolds (p < 0.001), but Tb.N did not show significant differences. Histological examinations showed considerably increased new bone and decreased TBC trabecular remnants in DFO/TBC scaffolds compared to pure TBC scaffolds. Many cavities in the new bone area in DFO/TBC scaffolds were occupied by bone marrow elements and blood vessels. Percent of new bone with tetracycline labeling was significantly greater in DFO/TBC scaffolds than in pure TBC scaffolds (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This preliminary study reveals that DFO can effectively induce new bone growing into TBC scaffolds, suggesting that the DFO/TBC composite is a promising bone graft substitute for the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is an attractive ceramic for bone tissue repair because of its similar composition to bone mineral and its osteoconductivity. However, compared with other ceramics β-TCP has a rapid and uncontrolled rate of degradation. In the current study β-TCP granules were mineral coated with the aim of influencing the dissolution rate of β-TCP, and also to use the coating as a carrier for controlled release of the growth factors recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF), modular VEGF peptide (mVEGF), and modular bone morphogenetic protein 2 peptide (mBMP2). The biomineral coatings were formed by heterogeneous nucleation in aqueous solution using simulated body fluid solutions with varying concentrations of bicarbonate (HCO(3)). Our results demonstrate that we could coat β-TCP granules with mineral layers possessing different dissolution properties. The presence of a biomineral coating delays the dissolution rate of the β-TCP granules. As the carbonate (CO(3)(2-)) content in the coating was increased the dissolution rate of the coated β-TCP also increased, but remained slower than the dissolution of uncoated β-TCP. In addition, we showed sustained release of multiple growth factors, with release kinetics that were controllable by varying the identity of the growth factor or the CO(3)(2-) content in the mineral coating. Released rhVEGF induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, and mVEGF enhanced migration of mouse embryonic endothelial cells in a scratch wound healing assay, indicating that each released growth factor was biologically active.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is the most powerful osteogenic factor; its effectiveness in enhancing osteoblastic activation has been confirmed both in vitro and in vivo. We developed a novel peptide (designated P24) derived from the 'knuckle' epitope of BMP-2 and found it also had osteogenic bioactivity to some extent. The main objective of this study was to develop a controlled release system based on poly(trimethylene carbonate)-F127-poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC₁₁-F127-PTMC₁₁) hydrogels for the P24 peptide, to promote bone formation. By varying the copolymer concentrations, we demonstrated that P24/PTMC₁₁-F127-PTMC₁₁ hydrogels were an efficient system for the sustained release of P24 over 21-35 days. The P24-loaded hydrogels elevated alkaline phosphatase activity and promoted the expression of osteocalcin mRNA in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in vitro. Radiographic and histological examination showed that P24-loaded hydrogels could induce more effective ectopic bone formation in vivo than P24-free hydrogels. These results indicate that the PTMC₁₁-F127-PTMC₁₁ hydrogel is a suitable carrier for the controlled release of P24, and is a promising injectable biomaterial for the induction of bone regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In previous studies, oligopeptide corresponding to the cell-binding domains of bone morphogenetic proteins that bind to bone morphogenetic protein receptor enhanced the bone regenerative capacity of bovine bone minerals (BBM). The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of BBM coated with oligopeptide to promote periodontal regeneration in a 1-wall intrabony defect model in dogs. METHODS The second and third mandibular premolars and first molars of six adult beagles were extracted bilaterally, and the extraction sites were allowed to heal for 10 weeks. The 1-wall intrabony defects were prepared bilaterally on the mesial and distal side of the fourth mandibular premolars. Twenty-four intrabony defects were assigned to four treatment groups: 1) open flap debridement; 2) guided tissue regeneration (GTR); 3) GTR with a collagen membrane and BBM; and 4) GTR with a collagen membrane and BBM coated with the oligopeptide (Pep-BBM). The animals were sacrificed 10 weeks after surgery. For the histometric analysis, defect height, junctional epithelium migration, new cementum, new bone height, and new bone area were measured. New bone volume was measured using microcomputed tomography. RESULTS Wound healing was generally uneventful. For junctional epithelium migration, the BBM and Pep-BBM groups exhibited mean (± SE) values of 0.53 ± 0.41 and 0.48 ± 0.30 mm, and for new cementum height, 1.71 ± 0.46 and 2.50 ± 2.00 mm, respectively. For junctional epithelium migration and cementum regeneration, there were no significant differences between the two groups. The mean (± SE) values of new bone height and new bone volume in the Pep-BBM group (3.88 ± 0.31 mm and 32.35% ± 9.60%) were significantly greater than the mean values for the BBM group (2.60 ± 0.41 mm and 20.56% ± 1.89%). For bone regeneration, the Pep-BBM group showed superior results compared to the BBM group with statistically significant differences. CONCLUSIONS Through various parameters to evaluate periodontal regeneration, this oligopeptide coating influenced only the ability of BBM to promote bone regeneration in 1-wall intrabony defects in beagles. Junctional epithelium migration and cementum regeneration were not affected by this oligopeptide coating, and further investigations with special focus on regeneration of the periodontal ligament are necessary.

Abstract
Due to its ability to induce de novo bone formation the differentiation factor bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is often used to enhance the integration of bone implants. With the aim of reducing possible high dose side-effects and to lower the costs, in order to produce affordable implants, we developed a simple and fast method for the immobilization of BMP2 on silica-based surfaces using silane linkers which carry amino or epoxy functions. We put an especial emphasis on the influence of the nanoscale surface topography of the silica layer. Therefore, we chose glass (for control experiments) and Bioverit® II (as a typical implant base material) as support materials and coated these substrates with unstructured or nanoporous amorphous silica layers for comparison. Immobilized BMP2 was quantified by two different methods: by ELISA and by a cell-based assay for active BMP2. These tests probe for immunologically and biologically active BMP2, respectively. The results show that the amino functionalization is better suited for immobilizing the protein. Strikingly, a considerably higher amount of BMP2 could be immobilized on coated Bioverit® II surfaces compared with coated glass substrates, which was presumably due to the macroscopic roughness of the Bioverit® II substrates. In addition, it was found that the nanoporous silica coatings on Bioverit® II substrates were able to bind more BMP2 than the unstructured ones.

Abstract
Animal models for preclinical functionality assays lie midway between in vitro systems such as cell culture and actual clinical trials. We have developed a novel external fixation device for femoral critical size defect (CSD) in the femurs of immunodeficient mice as an experimental model for studying bone regeneration and bone tissue engineering. The external fixation device comprises four pointed rods and dental acrylic paste. A segmental bone defect (2 mm) was created in the midshaft of the mouse femur. The CSD in the femur of the mice were either left untreated or treated with a bone allograft, a cell-scaffold construct, or a scaffold-only construct. The repair and healing processes of the CSD were monitored by digital x-ray radiography, microcomputed tomography, and histology. Repair of the femoral CSD was achieved with the bone allografts, and partial repair of the femoral CSD was achieved with the cell scaffold and the scaffold-only constructs. No repair of the nongrafted femoral CSD was observed. Our results establish the feasibility of this new mouse femoral model for CSD repair of segmental bone using a simple stabilized external fixation device. The model should prove especially useful for in vivo preclinical proof-of-concept studies that involve cell therapy-based technologies for bone tissue engineering applications in humans.

Abstract
Limited osseointegration of current orthopedic biomaterials contributes to the failure of implants such as arthroplasties, bone screws, and bone grafts, which present a large socioeconomic cost within the United States. These implant failures underscore the need for biomimetic approaches that modulate host cell-implant material responses to enhance implant osseointegration and bone formation. Bioinspired strategies have included functionalizing implants with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins or ECM-derived peptides or protein fragments, which engage integrins and direct osteoblast adhesion and differentiation. This review discusses (1) bone ECM composition and key integrins implicated in osteogenic differentiation, (2) the use of implants functionalized with ECM-mimetic peptides/protein fragments, and (3) growth factor-derived peptides to promote the mechanical fixation of implants to bone and to enhance bone healing within large defects.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy of endocrine parathyroid hormone treatment on tissue-engineered bone regeneration, massive femoral defects in C57Bl/6 mice were reconstructed with either 100:0 or 85:15 poly-lactic acid (PLA)/beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds (hereafter PLA or PLA/βTCP, respectively), which were fabricated with low porosity (<30%) to improve their structural rigidity. Experimental mice were treated starting at 1 week postop with daily subcutaneous injections of 40 μg/kg teriparatide until sacrifice at 9 weeks, whereas control mice underwent the same procedure but were injected with sterile saline. Bone regeneration was assessed longitudinally using planar X-ray and quantitative microcomputed tomography, and the reconstructed femurs were evaluated at 9 weeks either histologically or biomechanically to determine their torsional strength and rigidity. Teriparatide treatment increased bone volume and bone mineral content significantly at 6 weeks and led to enhanced trabeculated bone callus formation that appeared to surround and integrate with the scaffold, thereby establishing union by bridging bone regeneration across the segmental defect in 30% of the reconstructed femurs, regardless of the scaffold type. However, the bone volume and mineral content in the PLA reconstructed femurs treated with teriparatide was reduced at 9 weeks to control levels, but remained significantly increased in the PLA/βTCP scaffolds. Further, bridged teriparatide-treated femurs demonstrated a prototypical brittle bone torsion behavior, and were significantly stronger and stiffer than control specimens or treated specimens that failed to form bridging bone union. Taken together, these observations suggest that intermittent, systemic parathyroid hormone treatment can enhance bone regeneration in scaffold-reconstructed femoral defects, which can be further enhanced by mineralized (βTCP) particles within the scaffold.

Abstract
We developed a novel calcium phosphate cement (CPC) by combining the silk fibroin and osteogenic supplements (β-glycerophosphate, ascorbic acid, and dexamethasone) with α-tricalcium phosphate cement. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured on the novel CPC scaffold. Results showed that the novel CPC scaffold was biocompatible and favorable for the adhesion, spreading, and proliferation of MSCs. Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was confirmed by high osteocalcin content and elevated gene expressions of bone markers, such as alkaline phosphatase, collagen type I, and osteocalcin. Therefore, the novel CPC scaffold may be potentially useful for implant fixation and more rapid new bone formation in moderate load-bearing applications.

Abstract
Background The interfacial molecular mechanisms that regulate mammalian cell growth and differentiation have important implications for biotechnology (production of cells and cell products) and medicine (tissue engineering, prosthetic implants, cancer and developmental biology). We demonstrate here that engineered protein motifs can be robustly displayed to mammalian cells in vitro in a highly controlled manner using a soluble protein scaffold designed to self assemble on a gold surface. Results A protein was engineered to contain a C-terminal cysteine that would allow chemisorption to gold, followed by 12 amino acids that form a water soluble coil that could switch to a hydrophobic helix in the presence of alkane thiols. Bioactive motifs from either bone morphogenetic protein-2 or osteopontin were added to this scaffold protein and when assembled on a gold surface assessed for their ability to influence cell function. Data demonstrate that osteoblast adhesion and short-term responsiveness to bone morphogenetic protein-2 is dependent on the surface density of a cell adhesive motif derived from osteopontin. Furthermore an immobilised cell interaction motif from bone morphogenetic protein supported bone formation in vitro over 28 days (in the complete absence of other osteogenic supplements). In addition, two-dimensional patterning of this ligand using a soft lithography approach resulted in the spatial control of osteogenesis. Conclusion These data describe an approach that allows the influence of immobilised protein ligands on cell behaviour to be dissected at the molecular level. This approach presents a durable surface that allows both short (hours or days) and long term (weeks) effects on cell activity to be assessed. This widely applicable approach can provide mechanistic insight into the contribution of immobilised ligands in the control of cell activity.
