Chitosan/Hyaluronan and Alginate-Nanohydroxyapatite Biphasic Scaffold as a Promising Matrix for Osteoarthritis Disorders. Adv Pharm Bull 2024; 14:176-191. [PMID: 38585453 PMCID: PMC10997938 DOI: 10.34172/apb.2024.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Regenerative medicine offers new techniques for osteoarthritis (OA) disorders, especially while considering simultaneous chondral and subchondral regenerations. Methods Chitosan and hyaluronan were chemically bound as the chondral phase and the osteogenic layer was prepared with alginate and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP). These scaffolds were fixed by fibrin glue as a biphasic scaffold and then examined. Results Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the porosity of 61.45±4.51 and 44.145±2.81 % for the subchondral and chondral layers, respectively. The composition analysis by energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) indicated the various elements of both hydrogels. Also, their mechanical properties indicated that the highest modulus and resistance values corresponded to the biphasic hydrogel as 108.33±5.56 and 721.135±8.21 kPa, despite the same strain value as other groups. Their individual examinations demonstrated the proteoglycan synthesis of the chondral layer and also, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of the subchondral layer as 13.3±2.2 ng. After 21 days, the cells showed a mineralized surface and a polygonal phenotype, confirming their commitment to bone and cartilage tissues, respectively. Immunostaining of collagen I and II represented greater extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion in the biphasic composite group due to the paracrine effect of the two cell types on each other. Conclusion For the first time, the ability of this biphasic scaffold to regenerate both tissue types was evaluated and the results showed satisfactory cellular commitment to bone and cartilage tissues. Thus, this scaffold can be considered a new strategy for the preparation of implants for OA.

Abstract
The recognition and importance of immune cells during bone regeneration, including around bone biomaterials, has led to the development of an entire field termed "osteoimmunology," which focuses on the connection and interplay between the skeletal system and immune cells. Most studies have focused on the "osteogenic" capacity of various types of bone biomaterials, and much less focus has been placed on immune cells despite being the first cell type in contact with implantable devices. Thus, the amount of literature generated to date on this topic makes it challenging to extract needed information. This review article serves as a guide highlighting advancements made in the field of osteoimmunology emphasizing the role of the osteoimmunomodulatory properties of biomaterials and their impact on osteoinduction. First, the various immune cell types involved in bone biomaterial integration are discussed, including the prominent role of osteal macrophages (OsteoMacs) during bone regeneration. Thereafter, key biomaterial properties, including topography, wettability, surface charge, and adsorption of cytokines, growth factors, ions, and other bioactive molecules, are discussed in terms of their impact on immune responses. These findings highlight and recognize the importance of the immune system and osteoimmunology, leading to a shift in the traditional models used to understand and evaluate biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Despite technological advancements in bone tissue engineering, it is still a challenge to fabricate a scaffold with high bioactivity as well as high mechanical strength that can promote osteogenesis as well as bear load. Here we developed a 3D printed gel-polymer multi-layered hybrid scaffold. The innermost layer is porous gel-based framework made of gelatin/carboxymethyl-chitin/nano-hydroxyapatite and is cryogenically 3D printed. Further, the second and middle layer of micro-engineered polycaprolactone (PCL) is infused in the gel with controlled penetration and tuneable coating thickness. The PCL surface is further coated with a third and final thin layer of gel matrix used for the first layer. This triple-layered structure demonstrates compression strength and modulus of 13.07 ± 1.15 MPa and 21.8 ± 0.82 MPa, respectively, post 8 weeks degradation which is >3000% and >700% than gel scaffold. It also shows degradation of 6.84 ± 0.70% (83% reduction than gel scaffold) after 12 weeks and swelling of 69.09 ± 6.83% (81% reduction) as compared to gel scaffolds. Further, nearly 300%, 250%, 50%, and 440% increase in cellular attachment, proliferation, protein generation, and mineralization, respectively are achieved as compared to only PCL scaffolds. Thus, these hybrid scaffolds offer high mechanical strength, slow degradation rate, high bioactivity, and high osteoconductivity. These multifunctional scaffolds have potential for reconstructing non-load-bearing bone defects like sinus lift, jaw cysts, and moderate load-bearing like reconstructing hard palate, orbital palate, and other craniomaxillofacial bone defects.

Enhancing Osteoporosis Treatment through Targeted Nanoparticle Delivery of Risedronate: In Vivo Evaluation and Bioavailability Enhancement. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2339. [PMID: 37765307 PMCID: PMC10534762 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15092339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Risedronate-loaded mPEG-coated hydroxyapatite, thiolated chitosan-based (coated) and non-coated nanoparticles were tested for their potential effects in the treatment of osteoporosis. The prepared nanoparticles were evaluated for their bone-targeting potential by inducing osteoporosis in female Wistar rats via oral administration of Dexona (dexamethasone sodium phosphate). In vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies were performed on osteoporotic rat models treated with different formulations. The osteoporotic model treated with the prepared nanoparticles indicated a significant effect on bone. The relative bioavailability was enhanced for RIS-HA-TCS-mPEG nanoparticles given orally compared to RIS-HA-TCS, marketed, and API suspension. Biochemical investigations also showed a significant change in biomarker levels, ultimately leading to bone formation/resorption. Micro-CT analysis of bone samples also demonstrated that the RIS-HA-TCS-mPEG-treated group showed the best results compared to other treatment groups. Moreover, the histology of bone treated with RIS-HA-TCS-mPEG showed a marked restoration of the architecture of trabecular bone along with a well-connected bone matrix and narrow inter-trabecular spaces compared to the toxic group. A stability analysis was also carried out according to ICH guidelines (Q1AR2), and it was found that RIS-HA-TCS-mPEG was more stable than RIS-HA-TCS at 25 °C. Thus, the results of present study indicated that mPEG-RIS-HA-TCS has excellent potential for sustained delivery of RIS for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis, and for minimizing the adverse effects of RIS typically induced via oral administration.

Abstract
Nanomaterials such as pH-responsive polymers are promising for targeted drug delivery systems, due to the difference in pH between tumor and healthy regions. However, there is a significant concern about the application of these materials in this field due to their low mechanical resistance, which can be attenuated by combining these polymers with mechanically resistant inorganic materials such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and hydroxyapatite (HA). Mesoporous silica has interesting properties such as high surface area and hydroxyapatite has been widely studied to aid in bone regeneration, providing special properties adding multifunctionality to the system. Furthermore, fields of medicine involving luminescent elements such as rare earth elements are an interesting option in cancer treatment. The present work aims to obtain a pH-sensitive hybrid system based on silica and hydroxyapatite with photoluminescent and magnetic properties. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nitrogen adsorption methods, CHN elemental analysis, Zeta Potential, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrational sample magnetometry (VSM), and photoluminescence analysis. Incorporation and release studies of the antitumor drug doxorubicin were performed to evaluate the potential use of these systems in targeted drug delivery. The results showed the luminescent and magnetic properties of the materials and showed suitable characteristics for application in the release of pH-sensitive drugs.

Abstract
In recent years, bone tissue engineering (BTE) has made significant progress in promoting the direct and functional connection between bone and graft, including osseointegration and osteoconduction, to facilitate the healing of damaged bone tissues. Herein, we introduce a new, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective method for synthesizing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and hydroxyapatite (HAp). The method uses epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) as a reducing agent to synthesize rGO (E-rGO), and HAp powder is obtained from Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus). The physicochemical analysis indicated that the E-rGO/HAp composites had exceptional properties for use as BTE scaffolds, as well as high purity. Moreover, we discovered that E-rGO/HAp composites facilitated not only the proliferation, but also early and late osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Our work suggests that E-rGO/HAp composites may play a significant role in promoting the spontaneous osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, and we envision that E-rGO/HAp composites could serve as promising candidates for BTE scaffolds, stem-cell differentiation stimulators, and implantable device components because of their biocompatible and bioactive properties. Overall, we suggest a new approach for developing cost-effective and environmentally friendly E-rGO/HAp composite materials for BTE application.

Abstract
There is an endogenous electric field in living organisms, which plays a vital role in the development and regeneration of bone tissue. Therefore, self-powered piezoelectric material for bone repair has become hot research in recent years. However, the current piezoelectric materials for tissue regeneration still have the shortcomings of lack of biological activity and three-dimensional structure. Here, we proposed a three-dimensional polyurethane foam (PUF) scaffold coated with piezoelectric poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and modified by a calcium phosphate (CaP) mineralized coating. The preferred scaffold has an open circuit voltage and short circuit current output of 5 V and 200 nA. Combining the physical and chemical properties of the CaP coating, the piezoelectric signal of PVDF-HFP and the three-dimensional structure of PUF, the scaffold exhibits superior promotion of cell osteogenic differentiation and ectopic bone formation in vivo. The mechanism is attributed to an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels in response to chemical and piezoelectric stimulation with the material. This research not only paves the way for the application of piezoelectric scaffolds to stimulate osteoblasts differentiation in situ, but also lays the foundation for the clinical treatment of long-term osteoporosis.

Development of three-layer collagen scaffolds to spatially direct tissue-specific cell differentiation for enthesis repair. Mater Today Bio 2023; 19:100584.

Abstract
Enthesis repair remains a challenging clinical indication. Herein, a three-layer scaffold composed of a tendon-like layer of collagen type I, a fibrocartilage-like layer of collagen type II and a bone-like layer of collagen type I and hydroxyapatite, was designed to recapitulate the matrix composition of the enthesis. To aid tenogenic and fibrochondrogenic differentiation, bioactive molecules were loaded in the tendon-like layer or the fibrocartilage-like layer and their effect was assessed in in vitro setting using human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells and in an ex vivo model. Seeded human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells infiltrated and homogeneously spread throughout the scaffold. As a response to the composition of the scaffold, cells differentiated in a localised manner towards the osteogenic lineage and, in combination with differentiation medium, towards the fibrocartilage lineage. Whilst functionalisation of the tendon-like layer did not improve tenogenic cell commitment within the time frame of this work, relevant fibrochondrogenic markers were detected in the fibrocartilage-like layer when scaffolds were functionalised with bone morphogenetic protein 2 or non-functionalised at all, in vitro and ex vivo, respectively. Altogether, our data advocate the use of compartmentalised scaffolds for the repair and regeneration of interfacial tissues, such as enthesis.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the effects of hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic implants (HA cylinders, perforated HA plates, and nonperforated HA plates) on the healing of bone defects, addressing biocompatibility, biodegradability, osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, and osteointegration with the surrounding bone tissue. The HA ceramic implants were prepared using the tape-casting method, which allows for shape variation in samples after packing HA paste into 3D-printed plastic forms. In vitro, the distribution and morphology of the MC3T3E1 cells grown on the test discs for 2 and 9 days were visualised with a fluorescent live/dead staining assay. The growth of the cell population was clearly visible on the entire ceramic surfaces and very good osteoblastic cell adhesion and proliferation was observed, with no dead cells detected. A sheep animal model was used to perform in vivo experiments with bone defects created on the metatarsal bones, where histological and immunohistochemical tissue analysis as well as X-ray and CT images were applied. After 6 months, all implants showed excellent biocompatibility with the surrounding bone tissue with no observed signs of inflammatory reaction. The histomorphological findings revealed bone growth immediately over and around the implants, indicating the excellent osteoconductivity of the HA ceramic implants. A number of islands of bone tissue were observed towards the centres of the HA cylinders. The highest degree of biodegradation, bioresorption, and new bone formation was observed in the group in which perforated HA plates were applied. The results of this study suggest that HA cylinders and HA plates may provide a promising material for the functional long-bone-defect reconstruction and further research.

Protocol for Cell Colonization and Comprehensive Monitoring of Osteogenic Differentiation in 3D Scaffolds Using Biochemical Assays and Multiphoton Imaging. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032999. [PMID: 36769321 PMCID: PMC9917811 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The goal of bone tissue engineering is to build artificial bone tissue with properties that closely resemble human bone and thereby support the optimal integration of the constructs (biografts) into the body. The development of tissues in 3D scaffolds includes several complex steps that need to be optimized and monitored. In particular, cell-material interaction during seeding, cell proliferation and cell differentiation within the scaffold pores play a key role. In this work, we seeded two types of 3D-printed scaffolds with pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, proliferated and differentiated the cells, before testing and adapting different assays and imaging methods to monitor these processes. Alpha-TCP/HA (α-TCP with low calcium hydroxyapatite) and baghdadite (Ca3ZrSi2O9) scaffolds were used, which had comparable porosity (~50%) and pore sizes (~300-400 µm). Cell adhesion to both scaffolds showed ~95% seeding efficiency. Cell proliferation tests provided characteristic progression curves over time and increased values for α-TCP/HA. Transmitted light imaging displayed a homogeneous population of scaffold pores and allowed us to track their opening state for the supply of the inner scaffold regions by diffusion. Fluorescence labeling enabled us to image the arrangement and morphology of the cells within the pores. During three weeks of osteogenesis, ALP activity increased sharply in both scaffolds, but was again markedly increased in α-TCP/HA scaffolds. Multiphoton SHG and autofluorescence imaging were used to investigate the distribution, morphology, and arrangement of cells; collagen-I fiber networks; and hydroxyapatite crystals. The collagen-I networks became denser and more structured during osteogenic differentiation and appeared comparable in both scaffolds. However, imaging of the HA crystals showed a different morphology between the two scaffolds and appeared to arrange in the α-TCP/HA scaffolds along collagen-I fibers. ALP activity and SHG imaging indicated a pronounced osteo-inductive effect of baghdadite. This study describes a series of methods, in particular multiphoton imaging and complementary biochemical assays, to validly measure and track the development of bone tissue in 3D scaffolds. The results contribute to the understanding of cell colonization, growth, and differentiation, emphasizing the importance of optimal media supply of the inner scaffold regions.

Gallium-Doped Hydroxyapatite Shows Antibacterial Activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa without Affecting Cell Metabolic Activity. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:jfb14020051. [PMID: 36826850 PMCID: PMC9961062 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14020051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Calcium phosphates (CaPs) have been used in bone regeneration for decades. Among the described CaPs, synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) has a chemical composition similar to that of natural bone. Gallium-containing compounds have been studied since the 1970s for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and have shown beneficial properties, such as antibacterial activity and inhibition of osteoclast activity. In this study, we synthesized hydroxyapatite (HAp) powder with Ga doping ratios up to 6.9 ± 0.5 wt% using the wet chemical precipitation method. The obtained products were characterized using XRD, BET, FTIR, and ICP-MS. Ga3+ ion release was determined in the cell culture media for up to 30 days. Antibacterial activity was assessed against five bacterial species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus pyogenes. The biocompatibility of the GaHAp samples was determined in human fibroblasts (hTERT-BJ1) through direct and indirect tests. The structure of the synthesized products was characteristic of HAp, as revealed with XRD and FTIR, although the addition of Ga caused a decrease in the crystallite size. Ga3+ was released from GaHAp paste in a steady manner, with approximately 40% being released within 21 days. GaHAp with the highest gallium contents, 5.5 ± 0.1 wt% and 6.9 ± 0.5 wt%, inhibited the growth of all five bacterial species, with the greatest activity being against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Biocompatibility assays showed maintained cell viability (~80%) after seven days of indirect exposure to GaHAp. However, when GaHAp with Ga content above 3.3 ± 0.4 wt% was directly applied on the cells, a decrease in metabolic activity was observed on the seventh day. Overall, these results show that GaHAp with Ga content below 3.3 ± 0.4 wt% has attractive antimicrobial properties, without affecting the cell metabolic activity, creating a material that could be used for bone regeneration and prevention of infection.

Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 59:medicina59010046. [PMID: 36676670 PMCID: PMC9861076 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59010046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is considered as a severe adverse side effect of specific drugs such as anti-resorptive and anti-angiogenic medications. Evidence suggests that MRONJ is linked to invasive dental procedures, mainly dentoalveolar surgery. Several preventive strategies to minimize the risk of developing MRONJ have been investigated. However, no investigation has been attempted to evaluate the therapeutic effect of local drug-delivery technology as a preventive strategy protocol. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of hydroxyapatite-containing doxycycline (HADOX) in rats with high-risk MRONJ development. All the rats used in this study were divided into seven groups. Six groups of rats out of seven were exposed to two different doses of antiresorptive drug therapy for four weeks before undergoing an upper incisor extraction. After 28 days, all the animals were euthanized, and the bone blocks were processed for histological and histomorphometrical evaluation. The histomorphometric analysis confirmed that newly formed bone (NFB) was present in all groups, with significant differences. NFB in the HADOX group treated with zoledronic acid at 4% showed (28.38; C.I. 22.29-34.48), which represents a significant increase compared to HA (15.69; C.I. 4.89-26.48) (p = 0.02). A similar pattern was observed in the HADOX group treated with zoledronic acid 8% ZA treatment (p = 0.001). Conclusions: HADOX did not inhibit any bone repair and reduced early inflammatory response. Hence, HADOX could promote bone healing in patients undergoing antiresorptive drug therapy.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) and citric acid (Cit)-coordinated HA (Cit/HA) nanoparticle films with different nanospaces were used to examine the nanospacial effect on the protein adsorption behavior and initial osteoblast-like cell adhesion ability through the premise of the stability and ionic dissociation characteristics of the films in biological solution. In particular, the Cit/HA nanoparticle film with a nanospace of 4.2 nm could realize massive and stereoscopic adsorption of proteins due to its larger specific surface area and smaller nanospace as compared with the case of the HA nanoparticle film. It was also found that the α-helix and (β-sheet + β-turn) component ratios of the adsorbed fetal bovine serum proteins on the Cit/HA nanoparticle films increased as compared with the case of the HA nanoparticle film through the secondary structure analysis of the adsorbed proteins, which contributed to the good initial cell culture properties on the film surfaces. Therefore, we successfully realized the control of protein adsorption states using different nanospacial HA and Cit/HA nanoparticle films to achieve excellent initial cell culture properties, which would provide new insights into the creation of novel cell culture substrate surfaces in the regenerative medicine fields.

Abstract
As one of the most transplanted tissues of the human body, bone has varying architectures, depending on its anatomical location. Therefore, bone defects ideally require bone substitutes with a similar structure and adequate strength comparable to native bones. Light-based three-dimensional (3D) printing methods allow the fabrication of biomimetic scaffolds with high resolution and mechanical properties that exceed the result of commonly used extrusion-based printing. Digital light processing (DLP) is known for its faster and more accurate printing than other 3D printing approaches. However, the development of biocompatible resins for light-based 3D printing is not as rapid as that of bio-inks for extrusion-based printing. In this study, we developed CSMA-2, a photopolymer based on Isosorbide, a renewable sugar derivative monomer. The CSMA-2 showed suitable rheological properties for DLP printing. Gyroid scaffolds with high resolution were successfully printed. The 3D-printed scaffolds also had a compressive modulus within the range of a human cancellous bone modulus. Human adipose-derived stem cells remained viable for up to 21 days of incubation on the scaffolds. A calcium deposition from the cells was also found on the scaffolds. The stem cells expressed osteogenic markers such as RUNX2, OCN, and OPN. These results indicated that the scaffolds supported the osteogenic differentiation of the progenitor cells. In summary, CSMA-2 is a promising material for 3D printing techniques with high resolution that allow the fabrication of complex biomimetic scaffolds for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising candidate for bone repair. However, the maintenance of MSCs injected into the bone injury site remains inefficient. A potential approach is to develop a bone-liked platform that incorporates MSCs into a biocompatible 3D scaffold to facilitate bone grafting into the desired location. Bone tissue engineering is a multistep process that requires optimizing several variables, including the source of cells, osteogenic stimulation factors, and scaffold properties. This study aims to evaluate the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation potentials of MSCs cultured on 2 types of 3D-printed hydroxyapatite, including a 3D-printed HA and biomimetic calcium phosphate-coated 3D-printed HA. MSCs from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) and umbilical cord (UC-MSCs) were cultured on the 3D-printed HA and coated 3D-printed HA. Scanning electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine the characteristics and the attachment of MSCs to the scaffolds. Additionally, the cell proliferation was monitored, and the ability of cells to differentiate into osteoblast was assessed using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteogenic gene expression. The BM-MSCs and UC-MSCs attached to a plastic culture plate with a spindle-shaped morphology exhibited an immunophenotype consistent with the characteristics of MSCs. Both MSC types could attach and survive on the 3D-printed HA and coated 3D-printed HA scaffolds. The MSCs cultured on these scaffolds displayed sufficient osteoblastic differentiation capacity, as evidenced by increased ALP activity and the expression of osteogenic genes and proteins compared to the control. Interestingly, MSCs grown on coated 3D-printed HA exhibited a higher ALP activity and osteogenic gene expression than those cultured on the 3D-printed HA. The finding indicated that BM-MSCs and UC-MSCs cultured on the 3D-printed HA and coated 3D-printed HA scaffolds could proliferate and differentiate into osteoblasts. Thus, the HA scaffolds could provide a suitable and favorable environment for the 3D culture of MSCs in bone tissue engineering. Additionally, biomimetic coating with octacalcium phosphate may improve the biocompatibility of the bone regeneration scaffold.

Abstract
The development of bioactive materials with good mechanical properties and promotion of stem cell osteogenic differentiation has important application prospects in bone tissue engineering. In this paper, we designed a novel organic‒inorganic composite hydrogel (FPIGP@BGN-Sr) utilizing diacrylated F127 (DA-PF127), β-glycerophosphate-modified polyitaconate (PIGP) and strontium-doped bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGN-Sr) through free radical polymerization and coordination interactions and then evaluated its promoting effect on the osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryonic mesenchymal stem cells in detail. The results showed that the FPIGP@BGN-Sr hydrogel exhibited a controlled storage modulus by changing the amount of BGN-Sr. Notably, the FPIGP@BGN-Sr hydrogel possessed excellent elastic ability with a compressive strain of up to 98.6% and negligible change in mechanical properties after 10 cycles of compression. In addition, the FPIGP@BGN-Sr hydrogel had good cytocompatibility, maintained the activity and proliferation of mouse embryonic mesenchymal stem cells (C3H10T1/2), and effectively enhanced the activity of alkaline phosphatase, osteogenic gene expression and biomineralization ability of the cells. In conclusion, the excellent mechanical properties and osteogenic biological activity of the FPIGP@BGN-Sr hydrogel make it a promising organic‒inorganic composite bioactive material for stem cell-based bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a serious health problem, and the most popular therapeutic strategy for OP is hormone replacement (estrogen); however, it increases the risk of reproductive cancers. Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles have a similar chemical structure to the bone mineral component and can be used as a new remedy for OP. This study was designed to investigate the osteoporosis-protective potential of nano zinc hydroxyapatite (ZnHA-NPs) and/or estradiol (E2) combined therapy. A total of 35 adult female rats were assigned into five groups (n = 7): 1) control group; 2) ovariectomized group (OVX); 3) OVX received oral estradiol replacement therapy (OVX/E2); 4) OVX received ZnHA replacement therapy (OVX/ZnHA); and 5) OVX received both estradiol and ZnHA-NPs combined therapy (OVX/E2+ZnHA). After 3 months of treatment, serum bone markers and estrogen level, oxidative/antioxidant, and inflammatory cytokines were determined. Additionally, femoral expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ESR1; ESR2), receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANKL) ligand, osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone mineral density (BMD), histological alterations, and immunohistochemical expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were assessed. ALP, PINP, Ca, and P concentrations improved significantly (p < 0.05) in all treatment groups, especially in the OVX/E + ZnHA group. MDA and NO were higher in OVX rats, while SOD activity and GSH were lower (p < 0.05). E2 alone or with ZnHA-NPs restored the estimated antioxidant molecules and cytokines toward normal levels in OVX rats (p < 0.05). On the other hand, E2 and ZnHA increased OPG and OC expression in femurs while decreasing ESR1, ESR2, and NF-kB expression (p < 0.05). The combination treatment was superior in the restoration of normal femoral histoarchitecture and both cortical and trabecular BMD (p < 0.05). Overall, the combined therapy of OVX/E2+ZnHA was more effective than the individual treatments in attenuating excessive bone turnover and preventing osteoporosis.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has a composition similar to mineral bone and has been used for coating macroporous scaffolds to enhance bone formation. However, previous macroporous scaffolds did not support minimally invasive delivery. Our lab has reported on gelatin-based microribbon (μRB) shaped hydrogels, which combine injectability with macroporosity and support cranial bone formation in an immunocompromised mouse model. However, gelatin alone was not sufficient to support cranial bone formation in immunocompetent animals. To overcome this challenge, here we evaluated two methods to incorporate HA into gelatin μRB scaffolds using either modified simulated body fluid (mSBF) or commercially available HA nanoparticles (HAnp). HA incorporation and distribution were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. While both methods enhanced MSC osteogenesis and mineralization, the mSBF method led to undesirable reduction in mechanical properties. HAnp-coated μRB scaffolds were further evaluated in an immunocompetent mouse cranial defect model. Acellular HAnp-coated gelatin μRB scaffolds induced rapid and robust endogenous cranial bone regeneration as shown by MicroCT imaging and histology. Co-delivery with exogenous MSCs led to later bone resorption accompanied by increased osteoclast activity. In summary, our results demonstrate the promise of gelatin μRBs with HAnps as a promising therapy for cranial bone regeneration without the need for exogenous cells or growth factors.

The Effect of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ Ions Loaded at Degradable PLA Membranes on the Proliferation and Osteoinduction of MSCs. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14122422.

Abstract
Biodegradable membranes, including Polylactic acid (PLA)-based membranes, are commonly used in bone-tissue-related clinical procedures as biointerface to promote bone tissue regeneration. Calcium (Ca2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+) ions have been related to the promotion of osteogenesis, where the PLA membranes could be used as carrier and delivery substrate for them to provide osteogenic properties to this material. For this aim, a new ion delivery system based on biodegradable PLA membranes loaded with Mg and hydroxyapatite (HA) particles has been processed by the combination of tape casting and colloidal route. Materials characterization shows that the incorporation of Mg and HA particles changes the surface and hydrophobicity of the PLA membrane, and the in vitro degradation test shows Mg2+ and Ca2+ ion release and occasionally the precipitation of different ion species onto the membrane surface. Mouse and human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) were used to define the biocompatibility and bioactivity of these PLA membrane composites, and data indicated Mg2+ promotes cell proliferation and potentiates osteoinductive signals, while Ca2+ induces the expression of ALP osteogenic marker in human MSCs. Biodegradable PLA membranes loaded with Mg and HA particles is a promising new ion delivery system of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions that provides osteogenic signals and works as functional biointerface interfaces with bone tissues.

Effect of high content nanohydroxyapatite composite scaffolds prepared via melt extrusion additive manufacturing on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 137:212833.

Abstract
The field of bone tissue engineering seeks to mimic the bone extracellular matrix composition, balancing the organic and inorganic components. In this regard, additive manufacturing (AM) of high content calcium phosphate (CaP)-polymer composites holds great promise towards the design of bioactive scaffolds. Yet, the biological performance of such scaffolds is still poorly characterized. In this study, melt extrusion AM (ME-AM) was used to fabricate poly(ethylene oxide terephthalate)/poly(butylene terephthalate) (PEOT/PBT)-nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) scaffolds with up to 45 wt% nHA, which presented significantly enhanced compressive mechanical properties, to evaluate their in vitro osteogenic potential as a function of nHA content. While osteogenic gene upregulation and matrix mineralization were observed on all scaffold types when cultured in osteogenic media, human mesenchymal stromal cells did not present an explicitly clear osteogenic phenotype, within the evaluated timeframe, in basic media cultures (i.e. without osteogenic factors). Yet, due to the adsorption of calcium and inorganic phosphate ions from cell culture media and simulated body fluid, the formation of a CaP layer was observed on PEOT/PBT-nHA 45 wt% scaffolds, which is hypothesized to account for their bone forming ability in the long term in vitro, and osteoconductivity in vivo.

Abstract
The use of a porous hydroxyapatite (HA) coating has definitively increased the durability and biocompatibility of joint replacement prostheses (JRP) since its introduction. This article will contextualise the properties of porous HA and relate these characteristics to its clinical function. Novel strategies to encourage osseointegration will also be explored, alongside their clinical relevance. All major literature databases were scrutinised for literature relevant to the scope of our review. The role of Hydroxyapatite was evaluated, alongside further strategies to augment bone ingrowth. HA coatings remain the most optimal coating for widespread clinical use. Advantages are conferred due to the method of application, the tribology and the biocompatibility of the material. Further strategies are available to augment bone ingrowth, pertaining to biological modifications and implantation of external factors. An evaluation of the literature has described the relative long term performance of the HA coated JRPs both in isolation and when compared with cemented prosthesis. Metanalyses have shown HA coated JRPs to perform as well as cemented prosthesis in terms of survivability over both short and long term follow ups. Concerning strategies to augment osseointegration, consideration should be given to form and function of the coating surface, as this provides the basis for cell adherence, proliferation, and differentiation.

Simultaneous Precipitation and Electrodeposition of Hydroxyapatite Coatings at Different Temperatures on Various Metal Substrates. COATINGS 2022.

Abstract
The coating of orthopedic and dental implants with hydroxyapatite (HA) is recognized as a method to increase their integration ability. A new metal coating method, comprising simultaneous precipitation and electrodeposition, is presented. Two studies are described: the first is related to the influence of time/temperature increase on the morpho-structural characteristics of the deposited layer on the Ti substrate, while the second study presents the characteristics of the layers deposited on different metal substrates. For comparison, specimens were obtained using the classical electrochemical deposition under the same experimental conditions. The addition of Ca to the electrolyte creates more compact and more uniform coatings, while the addition of P creates more porous layers. Only a very small quantity of crystalline HA deposited on the C55, Cu, and Ni substrates when the classic electrodeposition method was employed, while using the new approach has clearly led to a larger crystalline HA amount electrodeposited on the same types of metals. With some exceptions, the advantages of using the new method are: better crystallinity, more uniform and continuous surface, higher roughness, and potentially higher anti-corrosion capabilities.

Abstract
In this study, the therapeutic hydrocolloid quince seed mucilage (QSM) from Cydonia oblonga Miller fruit is enriched with needle-like nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) crystals to fabricate a novel biomimetic osteogenic bioscaffold. The molecular weight (Mw) of water-based extracted QSM was measured with GPC (8.67 × 105 g/mol), and the composite blend was prepared at a ratio of 1:1 (w/w) QSMaq and nHAp. The porous bioscaffolds were manufactured by the freeze-drying method, and evaluated in-depth with advanced analyses. The XRD, ATR-FTIR, SEM-EDX, and elemental mapping analyses revealed a uniform coated semi-crystalline structure with no covalent bindings between QSM and nHAp. Moreover, due to the hydrocolloid backbone, a supreme swelling ratio (w/w, 6523 ± 190%) with suitable pore size (208.12 ± 99.22 μm) for osteogenic development was obtained. Further, the cytocompatible bioscaffolds were evaluated for osteogenic differentiation in vitro using human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). The immuno/histochemical (I/HC) staining revealed that the cells with the spherical morphology invaded the pores of the prepared bioscaffolds. Also, relatively early up-regulated osteogenic markers were observed by the qRT-PCR analyses. Overall, it is believed that the QSM-nHAp bioscaffolds might be favorable in non-load bearing applications, especially in the cranio-maxillofacial region, due to their regenerative, bendable, and durable features.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic organ that can adapt its structure to meet the demands of its biochemical and biophysical environment. Osteocytes form a sensory network throughout the tissue and orchestrate tissue adaptation via the release of soluble factors such as a sclerostin. Osteocyte physiology has traditionally been challenging to investigate due to the uniquely mineralized extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone leading to the development of osteocyte cell lines. Importantly, the most widely researched and utilized osteocyte cell line: the MLO-Y4, is limited by its inability to express sclerostin (Sost gene) in typical in-vitro culture. We theorised that culture in an environment closer to the in vivo osteocyte environment could impact on Sost expression. Therefore, this study investigated the role of composition and dimensionality in directing Sost expression in MLO-Y4 cells using collagen-based ECM analogues. A significant outcome of this study is that MLO-Y4 cells, when cultured on a hydroxyapatite (HA)-containing two-dimensional (2D) film analogue, expressed Sost. Moreover, three-dimensional (3D) culture within HA-containing collagen scaffolds significantly enhanced Sost expression, demonstrating the impact of ECM composition and dimensionality on MLO-Y4 behaviour. Importantly, in this bone mimetic ECM environment, Sost expression was found to be comparable to physiological levels. Lastly, MLO-Y4 cells cultured in these novel conditions responded accordingly to fluid flow stimulation with a decrease in expression. This study therefore presents a novel culture system for the MLO-Y4 osteocyte cell line, ensuring the expression of an important osteocyte specific gene, Sost, overcoming a major limitation of this model.

Abstract
Liquid crystals (LCs) are appealing biomaterials for applications in bone regenerative medicine due to their tunable physical properties and anisotropic viscoelastic behavior. This study reports a novel composite poly (L-lactide) (PLLA) scaffold that is manufactured by a simple electrospinning and biomineralization technique that precisely controls the fibrous structure in liquid LC phase. The enriched-LC composites have superior mineralization ability than neat PLLA; furthermore BMSC cells were inoculated onto the HAP-PLLA/LC with hydroxyapatite (HAP) composite scaffold to test the capability for osteogenesis in vitro. The results show that the PLLA/LC with HAP produced by mineralization leads to better cell compatibility, which is beneficial to cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and expression of the angiogenic CD31 gene. Moreover, in vivo studies showed that the HAP-PLLA/LC scaffold with a bone-like environment significantly accelerates new and mature lamellar bone formation by development of a microenvironment for vascularized bone regeneration. Thus, this bionic composite scaffold in an LC state combining osteogenesis with vascularized activities is a promising biomaterial for bone regeneration in defective areas.

Abstract
A challenging approach of three-dimensional (3D)-biomimetic scaffold design for bone tissue engineering is to improve scaffold bioactivity and mechanical properties. We aimed to design and fabricate 3D-polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanocomposite scaffold containing a high concentration homogeneously distributed carbonated-nanohydroxyapatite (C-nHA)-particles in combination with immobilized-collagen to mimic real bone properties. PCL-scaffolds without/with C-nHA at 30%, 45%, and 60% (wt/wt) were 3D-printed. PCL/C-nHA60%-scaffolds were surface-modified by NaOH-treatment and collagen-immobilization. Physicomechanical and biological properties were investigated experimentally and by finite-element (FE) modeling. Scaffold surface-roughness enhanced by increasing C-nHA (1.7 - 6.1-fold), but decreased by surface-modification (0.6-fold). The contact angle decreased by increasing C-nHA (0.9 - 0.7-fold), and by surface-modification (0.5-fold). The zeta potential decreased by increasing C-nHA (3.2-9.9-fold). Average elastic modulus, compressive strength, and reaction force enhanced by increasing C-nHA and by surface-modification. FE modeling revealed that von Mises stress distribution became less homogeneous by increasing C-nHA, and by surface-modification. Maximal von Mises stress for 2% compression strain in all scaffolds did not exceed yield stress for bulk-material. 3D-printed PCL/C-nHA60% with surface-modification enhanced pre-osteoblast spreading, proliferation, collagen deposition, alkaline phosphatase activity, and mineralization. In conclusion, a novel biomimetic 3D-printed PCL-scaffold containing a high concentration C-nHA with surface-modification was successfully fabricated. It exhibited superior physicomechanical and biological properties, making it a promising biomaterial for bone tissue engineering.

Biofunctionalization of electrospun fiber membranes by LbL-collagen/chondroitin sulfate nanocoating followed by mineralization for bone regeneration. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 128:112295. [PMID: 34474846 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
It is of great significance to develop osteoinductive artificial scaffold for bone repair and regeneration. We constructed a biomimetic apatite interface on electrospun polycaprolactone fibers by combining layer-by-layer (LbL) nanocoating with mineralization to fabricate an osteoinductive artificial scaffold. After polydopamine modification, cationic type-І collagen and anionic chondroitin sulfate were sequentially adsorbed on the fiber surface. The fibers coated with the multilayer components served as the precursor matrix to induce apatite deposition. By adjusting the number of the layers and duration of mineralization, the nanoscale morphology of composite fibers was optimized. When ten bilayers of the collagen and chondroitin sulfate were deposited onto the fibers followed by one day-mineralization, the obtained polycaprolactone-apatite composite scaffolds significantly promoted the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. In a subcutaneous implantation in mice, this composite fiber membrane enhanced in vivo ectopic osteogenesis. Our nano-architectural scaffolds were able to mimic the composition and structure of the bone matrix to a certain extent, holding great potential for bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate biocompatibility of hydroxyapatite (HAP) from fish waste using in vitro and in vivo assays. Fish samples (whitemouth croaker - Micropogonias furnieri) from the biowaste was used as HAP source. Pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were used in vitro study. In addition, bone defects were artificially created in rat calvaria and filled with HAP in vivo. The results demonstrated that HAP reduced cytotoxicity in pre-osteoblast cells after 3 and 6 days following HAP exposure. DNA concentration was lower in the HAP group after 6 days. Quantitative RT-PCR did not show any significant differences (p > 0.05) between groups. In vivo study revealed that bone defects filled with HAP pointed out moderate chronic inflammatory cells with slight proliferation of blood vessels after 7 and 15 days. Chronic inflammatory infiltrate was absent after 30 days of HAP exposure. There was also a decrease in the amount of biomaterial, being followed by newly formed bone tissue. All experimental groups also demonstrated strong RUNX-2 immoexpression in the granulation tissue as well as in cells in close contact with biomaterial. The number of osteoblasts inside the defect area was lower in the HAP group when compared to control group after 7 days post-implantation. Similarly, the osteoblast surface as well as the percentage of bone surface was higher in control group when compared with HAP group after 7 days post-implantation. Taken together, HAP from fish waste is a promising possibility that should be explored more carefully by tissue-engineering or biotechnology.

Abstract
Structural disturbances of the subchondral bone are a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA), including sclerotic changes, cystic lesions, and osteophyte formation. Osteocytes act as mechanosensory units for the micro-cracks in response to mechanical loading. Once stimulated, osteocytes initiate the reparative process by recruiting bone-resorbing cells and bone-forming cells to maintain bone homeostasis. Osteocyte-expressed sclerostin is known as a negative regulator of bone formation through Wnt signaling and the RANKL pathway. In this review, we will summarize current understandings of osteocytes at the crossroad of allometry and mechanobiology to exploit the relationship between osteocyte morphology and function in the context of joint aging and osteoarthritis. We also aimed to summarize the osteocyte dysfunction and its link with structural and functional disturbances of the osteoarthritic subchondral bone at the molecular level. Compared with normal bones, the osteoarthritic subchondral bone is characterized by a higher bone volume fraction, a larger trabecular bone number in the load-bearing region, and an increase in thickness of pre-existing trabeculae. This may relate to the aberrant expressions of sclerostin, periostin, dentin matrix protein 1, matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein, insulin-like growth factor 1, and transforming growth factor-beta, among others. The number of osteocyte lacunae embedded in OA bone is also significantly higher, yet the volume of individual lacuna is relatively smaller, which could suggest abnormal metabolism in association with allometry. The remarkably lower percentage of sclerostin-positive osteocytes, together with clustering of Runx-2 positive pre-osteoblasts, may suggest altered regulation of osteoblast differentiation and osteoblast-osteocyte transformation affected by both signaling molecules and the extracellular matrix. Aberrant osteocyte morphology and function, along with anomalies in molecular signaling mechanisms, might explain in part, if not all, the pre-osteoblast clustering and the uncoupled bone remodeling in OA subchondral bone.

Abstract
Some synthetic bone graft substitutes (BGS) can trigger ectopic bone formation, which is the hallmark of osteoinduction and the most important prerequisite for the repair of large bone defects. Unfortunately, measuring or predicting BGS osteoinductive potential based on in vitro experiments is currently impossible. A recent study claimed that synthetic BGS can induce bone formation ectopically if they create a local homeostatic imbalance during their in vivo mineralization. This raised the hope that a simple cell free in vitro mineralization experiment would correlate with osteoinduction. The aim of the present study was therefore to assess the ability of a quantitative in vitro mineralization test to predict and rank the osteoinductive potential of BGS. Eight calcium phosphate BGS already tested ectopically in 9 different in vivo studies were used for that purpose. The experiment was able to identify materials that are reliably osteoinductive from those that are not, but was inaccurate in ranking the osteoinductive materials between each other. Chemical contaminants (Ca2+, Mg2+, H+, OH-, PO43-) present in some of the BGS affected the in vitro mineralization experiment results, but not in a direction that could explain the different rankings. In conclusion, this study suggests that an in vitro experiment can be used as a fast and reliable screening tool to identify osteoinductive BGS and underline the need to study ionic contaminants on calcium phosphate BGS.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) [Ca10 (PO4)6 (OH)2] has a high degree of chemical similarity with the mineral composition of animal bone. Hydroxyapatite fiber scaffold (HAF) is a biological material with a highly interconnected porous structure. We aimed to study the physical and biological characteristics of HAF and compare the osteogenic effects of HAF, natural osteogenic materials (NOM), and carbonate apatite (CO3Ap-DP) in the parietal defects of a rabbit's skull. X-ray analysis and histological assessment showed that HAF followed a trend of early initial osteogenesis and bone trabecular structure formation, especially at the cortical bone portion.Compared to the other two materials, HAF was more absorptive. Results indicated that HAF had the same osteoconductive and new bone formation properties as NOM and CO3Ap-DP. These findings will provide options for future material development and novel protocols for use in surgeries, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.

Abstract
The development of novel strategies that aim to augment the regenerative potential of bone is critical for devising better treatment options for bone defects or injuries. Facilitation of bone repair and regeneration utilizing composite hydrogels that simulates bone matrix is emerging as a viable approach in bone tissue engineering. The present study aimed to develop nanohydroxyapatite-incorporated gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel (GMPH hydrogel). A facile blending and photocrosslinking approach was employed to incorporate nanohydroxyapatite into the inter-crosslinked polymeric hydrogel network to obtain an ECM mimicking matrix for assisting bone tissue regeneration. Chemical characterization of GelMA and the GMPH hydrogel was carried out using FTIR and 1H NMR. Physical properties of GMPH, such as gelation, swelling and degradation ratios, and internal morphology, signified the suitability of GMPH hydrogel for tissue engineering. Cell viability assay demonstrated a healthy proliferation of MG63 osteoblast cells in GMPH hydrogel extracted growth medium, indicating the hydrogel's cytocompatibility and suitability for bone tissue engineering. Our study documented the fabrication of a novel GelMA/PEGDA-nanohydroxyapatite hydrogel that possesses ideal physicochemical and biological properties for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Background. Large mandibular defects are considered difficult reconstructive challenges for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Cell therapy, as an alternative technique, might increase the speed of bone regeneration. This study aimed to investigate bone regeneration in large defects of dog mandibles using allogenic adipose-derived stem cells on gelatin foam as a cell carrier. Methods. The tissue engineering phase consisted of the sampling of adult dogs' adipose tissue that can easily be isolated from adipose stem cells (ASCs) of the dogs, ASCs were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM, Gibco, USA) with low glucose, containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma, USA) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco, USA), with the characterization of dog ASCs and gelatin-transplanted ASCs. Six dogs were included in this experimental study in the next step and randomly assigned to the treatment and control groups. The samples in both groups underwent surgery under general anesthesia to create uniform 3-cm bony defects. The samples in both groups were reconstructed with titanium reconstruction plates and screws. A large bone gap filled with ASCs (5×106 ) was seeded on gelatin (ASCs) in the treatment group. In the control group, bony defects were filled with a cell delivery carrier without ASCs. Six months after transplantation, the animals' mandibles were evaluated by CT scan imaging, and the results were quantified through the Hounsfield unit (HU). The data were analyzed with t-test. Results. Before transplantation, the nature of the stem cells was confirmed by the expression of CD44 and CD105 cell markers at 71.9% and 89.3%, respectively, and a lack of the CD45 cell marker expression at 2.2%. Evaluation of CT scan images showed significantly higher bone repair in the ASCs group (920.25±572.92 HU) than in the control group (-94.746± 08.42). Conclusion. The bone regeneration of the ASCs group was significantly higher than that in the control group.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was the investigation of the osteogenic potential of human osteoblasts of advanced donor age in 2D and 3D culture. Methods Osteoblasts were induced to osteogenic differentiation and cultivated, using the same polystyrene material in 2D and 3D culture for 2 weeks. Samples were taken to evaluate alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization and gene expression. Results Osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels were significantly increased (8.2-fold) on day 7 in 3D compared to day 0 (p < 0.0001) and 11.6-fold higher in 3D than in 2D (p < 0.0001). Both culture systems showed reduced osteocalcin (OC) levels (2D 85% and 3D 50% of basic value). Collagen type 1 (Col1) expression was elevated in 3D on day 7 (1.4-fold; p = 0.009). Osteopontin (OP) expression showed 6.5-fold higher levels on day 7 (p = 0.002) in 3D than in 2D. Mineralization was significantly higher in 3D on day 14 (p = 0.0002). Conclusion Advanced donor age human primary osteoblasts reveal significantly higher gene expression levels of OPG, Col1 and OP in 3D than in monolayer. Therefore, it seems that a relatively high potential of bone formation in a natural 3D arrangement is presumably still present in osteoblasts of elderly people.

Abstract
Introducing synthetic bone substitutes into the clinic was a major breakthrough in the regenerative medicine of bone. Despite many advantages of currently available bone implant materials such as biocompatiblity and osteoconductivity, they still suffer from relatively poor bioactivity, osteoinductivity and osteointegration. These properties can be effectively enhanced by functionalization of implant materials with nanoparticles such as osteoinductive hydroxyapatite nanocrystals, resembling inorganic part of the bone, or bioactive polymer nanoparticles providing sustained delivery of pro-osteogenic agents directly at implantation site. One of the most widespread techniques for fabrication of nanoparticles for bone regeneration applications is nanoemulsification. It allows manufacturing of nanoscale particles (<100 nm) that are injectable, 3D-printable, offer high surface-area-to-volume-ratio and minimal mass transport limitations. Nanoparticles obtained by this technique are of particular interest for biomedical engineering due to fabrication procedures requiring low surfactant concentrations, which translates into reduced risk of surfactant-related in vivo adverse effects and improved biocompatibility of the product. This review discusses nanoemulsion technology and its current uses in manufacturing of nanoparticles for bone regeneration applications. In the first section, we introduce basic concepts of nanoemulsification including nanoemulsion formation, properties and preparation methods. In the next sections, we focus on applications of nanoemulsions in fabrication of nanoparticles used for delivery of drugs/biomolecules facilitating osteogenesis and functionalization of bone implants with special emphasis on biomimetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, synthetic polymer nanoparticles loaded with bioactive compounds and bone-targeting nanoparticles. We also highlight key challenges in formulation of nanoparticles via nanoemulsification and outline potential further improvements in this field.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a novel multi-phosphonate (MP) coating strategy of dental implant surfaces on the expression of osteogenesis-related factors in vitro. MG-63 human osteoblast-like cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), and human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) were cultured separately on titanium disks with and without MP coating. Cell attachment was visualized by focal adhesion and actin cytoskeleton staining. The proliferation and gene expression of the markers related to osteogenesis and bone turnover were measured after 48 and 120 h of cell culture. Actin cytoskeleton assembly and focal adhesion were similar between test surfaces within each cell type but differed from those on tissue culture plastic (TCP). The proliferation of MG-63 cells and PDLSCs was comparable on all surfaces, while BM-MSCs showed an increase on tissue culture plastic (TCP) versus titanium. The gene expression of osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand was higher in MG-63 cells grown on MP-coated surfaces. At the same time, osteocalcin was decreased compared to the other surfaces. Collagen type I gene expression after 120 h was significantly lower in hPDLSCs cultivated on MP-coated surfaces. Within the limitations of this study, MP coating on titanium surfaces might have a slight beneficial effect on bone turnover in vitro.

Abstract
Natural bone is a highly vascularized tissue that relies on the vasculature for blood and nutrients supply to maintain skeletal integrity. Inadequacy of neovascularization may compromise the tissue ingrowth to the implanted scaffolds, and eventually results in failure for the repair. To tackle this issue and enhance self-vascularized bone regeneration, herein a 3D biomimetic selective lasersintering (SLS) derived scaffold, with an angiogenic growth factor immobilized on its surface, that can be released in a controlled manner is proposed. To this end, a porous polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) scaffold is prepared via the SLS technique, which is further modified with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by coprecipitation with apatite. The resultant scaffold (PCL/HA/VEGF) has an excellent cytocompatibility, and subcutaneous implantation experiment shows that the VEGF-loaded scaffold significantly enhances the blood vessel formation compared with the VEGF-free control. It is further demonstrated that the PCL/HA/VEGF scaffold is able to enhance the in vivo bone regeneration in a rat cranial defect model. Taken together, the current study provides not only a feasible and promising scaffold candidate to enhance the vascularized bone regeneration, but also a general strategy to overcome the inadequate vascularization issue for the repair of other tissue and organs.

Electrospun Scaffolds Containing Silver-Doped Hydroxyapatite with Antimicrobial Properties for Applications in Orthopedic and Dental Bone Surgery. J Funct Biomater 2020; 11:jfb11030058. [PMID: 32824017 PMCID: PMC7563183 DOI: 10.3390/jfb11030058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Revised: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Preventing the development of osteomyelitis while enhancing bone regeneration is challenging, with relatively little progress to date in translating promising technologies to the clinic. Nanoscale hydroxyapatite (nHA) has been employed as a bone graft substitute, and recent work has shown that it may be modified with silver to introduce antimicrobial activity against known pathogens. The aim of this study was to incorporate silver-doped nHA into electrospun scaffolds for applications in bone repair. Silver-doped nHA was produced using a modified, rapid mixing, wet precipitation method at 2, 5, 10 mol.% silver. The silver-doped nHA was added at 20 wt.% to a polycaprolactone solution for electrospinning. Bacteria studies demonstrated reduced bacterial presence, with Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus undetectable after 96 h of exposure. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were used to study both toxicity and osteogenicity of the scaffolds using PrestoBlue® and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assays. Innovative silver nHA scaffolds significantly reduced E. coli and S. aureus bacterial populations while maintaining cytocompatibility with mammalian cells and enhancing the differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts. It was concluded that silver-doped nHA containing scaffolds have the potential to act as an antimicrobial device while supporting bone tissue healing for applications in orthopedic and dental bone surgery.

Effect of donor age and 3D-cultivation on osteogenic differentiation capacity of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Sci Rep 2020; 10:10408. [PMID: 32591595 PMCID: PMC7319953 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-67254-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose: Age and co-morbidities compromise healing tendencies of traumatic fractures in geriatric patients. Non-healing fractures may need regenerative medicine techniques involving autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Donor age may affect the viability and differentiation capacity of MSCs. We investigated age-related differences in adipose-derived MSCs (AMSCs) concerning osteogenic potential in 2D and 3D cultivation. Materials and Methods: AMSCs were harvested from young (mean age: 37.5 ± 8.6 years) and old (mean age: 75.8 ± 9.2 years) patients. Cells were induced to osteogenic differentiation and cultivated in 2D and 3D for 14 days. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization and gene expression were investigated. Results: ALP activity revealed highest levels in 3D of old AMSCs after 14 days. ALP expression showed significant rises in old vs. young cells in 2D (p = 0.0024). Osteoprotegerin revealed the highest levels in old AMSCs in 2D. Highest osteocalcin levels presented in young cells compared to old cells in 2D (p = 0.0258) and young cells in 3D (p = 0.0014). Conclusion: 3D arrangement of old AMSCs without growth factors is not ensuring superior osteogenesis in vitro. AMSCs, especially cells from older patients, reveal higher osteogenic potential in 2D than in 3D. 3D arrangement favors osteogenic potential of young cells.

Abstract
The demineralized bone matrix (DBM) as the bone graft material to increase the fusion rate was widely used in spinal fusion. The current study aimed to compare the fusion rate of DBM to the fusion rate of autograft in lumbar spine fusion via meta-analysis of published literature. After systematic search, comparative studies were selected according to eligibility criteria. Checklist (risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized study) was used to evaluate the risk of bias of the included nonrandomized controlled studies. The corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. We also used subgroup analysis to analyze the fusion rate of posterolateral lumbar fusion and lumbar interbody fusion. Eight studies were finally included in this meta-analysis. These eight studies included 581 patients. Among them, 337 patients underwent spinal fusion surgery using DBM (DBM group) and 204 patients underwent spinal fusion surgery with mainly autologous bone and without using DBM (control group). There was no significant differences of fusion rate between the two groups in posterolateral fusion analysis (risk ratio [RR], 1.03; 95% CI, 0.90–1.17; p=0.66) and interbody fusion analysis (RR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.91–1.39; p=0.27). Based on the available evidence, the use of DBM with autograft in posterolateral lumbar spine fusion and lumbar interbody fusion showed a slightly higher fusion rate than that of autograft alone; however, there was no statistically different between two groups.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles are widely used for biomedical applications owing to their biocompatibility, ease of functionalization and relatively non-toxic nature. In recent years, biogenic nanoparticles have gained attention as an eco-friendly alternative for a variety of applications. In this report, we have synthesized and characterized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from an Actinomycete, Nocardiopsis dassonvillei NCIM 5124. The conditions for biosynthesis were optimized (100 mg/ml of cell biomass, 2.5 mM tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl4) at 80 °C and incubation time of 25 min) and the nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, SAED, EDS and XRD analysis. The nanoparticles were spherical and ranged in size from 10 to 25 nm. Their interactions with human gingival tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) and their potential applications in regenerative medicine were evaluated further. The AuNPs did not display cytotoxicity towards GMSCs when assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, DNA fragmentation patterns and Annexin V/propidium iodide staining techniques. These AuNPs induced faster cell migration when monitored by the in vitro wound healing assay. The effect of these nanoparticles on osteogenesis of GMSCs was also studied. Based on the results obtained from alkaline phosphatase, Von Kossa staining and Alizarin Red S staining, the AuNPs were seen to positively affect differentiation of GMSCs and enhance mineralization of the synthesized matrix. We therefore conclude that the biogenic, non-toxic AuNPs are of potential relevance for tissue regeneration applications.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are widely used for substitution of hard tissues, especially in orthopaedic and dental surgery. Despite the benefit of the use of titanium for such applications, there are still questions which must be sorted out. Surface properties are crucial for cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. Mainly, micro/nanostructured surfaces positively influence osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. Ti6Al4V is a biocompatible α + β alloy which is widely used in orthopaedics. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of the nanostructured and ground Ti6Al4V titanium alloys with simulated body fluid complemented by the defined precipitation of hydroxyapatite-like coating and to study the cytotoxicity and differentiation capacity of cells with such a modified titanium alloy. Nanostructures were fabricated using electrochemical oxidation. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) were used to evaluate cell adhesion, metabolic activity and proliferation on the specimens. The differentiation potential of the samples was investigated using PCR and specific staining of osteogenic markers collagen type I and osteocalcin. Our results demonstrate that both pure Ti6Al4V, nanostructured samples, and hydroxyapatite-like coating supported hMSC growth and metabolic activity. Nanostructured samples improved collagen type I synthesis after 14 days, while both nanostructured and hydroxyapatite-like coated samples enhanced collagen synthesis on day 21. Osteocalcin synthesis was the most enhanced by hydroxyapatite-like coating on the nanostructured surfaces. Our results indicate that hydroxyapatite-like coating is a useful tool guiding hMSC osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
3D printing of polylactic acid (PLA) and hydroxyapatite (HA) or bioglass (BG) bioceramics composites is the most promising technique for artificial bone construction. However, HA and BG have different chemical composition as well as different bone regeneration inducing mechanisms. Thus, it is important to compare differentiation processes induced by 3D printed PLA + HA and PLA + BG scaffolds in order to evaluate the strongest osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties possessing bioceramics. In this study, we analysed porous PLA + HA (10%) and PLA + BG (10%) composites' effect on rat's dental pulp stem cells fate in vitro. Obtained results indicated, that PLA + BG scaffolds lead to weaker cell adhesion and proliferation than PLA + HA. Nevertheless, osteoinductive and other biofriendly properties were more pronounced by PLA + BG composites. Overall, the results showed a strong advantage of bioceramic BG against HA, thus, 3D printed PLA + BG composite scaffolds could be a perspective component for patient-specific, cheaper and faster artificial bone tissue production.

Abstract
In this study of three-dimensional (3D) printed composite β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)-/hydroxyapatite/poly(ɛ-caprolactone)-based constructs, the effects of vertical compositional ceramic gradients and architectural porosity gradients on the osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were investigated. Specifically, three different concentrations of β-TCP (0, 10, and 20 wt%) and three different porosities (33% ± 4%, 50% ± 4%, and 65% ± 3%) were examined to elucidate the contributions of chemical and physical gradients on the biochemical behavior of MSCs and the mineralized matrix production within a 3D culture system. By delaminating the constructs at the gradient transition point, the spatial separation of cellular phenotypes could be specifically evaluated for each construct section. Results indicated that increased concentrations of β-TCP resulted in upregulation of osteogenic markers, including alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralized matrix development. Furthermore, MSCs located within regions of higher porosity displayed a more mature osteogenic phenotype compared to MSCs in lower porosity regions. These results demonstrate that 3D printing can be leveraged to create multiphasic gradient constructs to precisely direct the development and function of MSCs, leading to a phenotypic gradient. Impact Statement In this study, three-dimensional (3D) printed ceramic/polymeric constructs containing discrete vertical gradients of both composition and porosity were fabricated to precisely control the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. By making simple alterations in construct architecture and composition, constructs containing heterogenous populations of cells were generated, where gradients in scaffold design led to corresponding gradients in cellular phenotype. The study demonstrates that 3D printed multiphasic composite constructs can be leveraged to create complex heterogeneous tissues and interfaces.

Abstract
Increasing bone formation on the surfaces of implants such as screws, plates, or shims holds great significance for clinical medicine. However, osteogenesis implant coatings that mimic natural bone in terms of both their components and structural features are still lacking. Here we report the biomimetic interface of calcium phosphate (CaP) in a collagen matrix fabricated by controlled mineralization that presents biomimetic porous features. The porous CaP/collagen interface, with a thickness of about 1 μm, significantly enhances osteogenesis, as verified at both the gene and protein levels as well as by in vivo experiments. Taking advantage of the generality of the method, the biomimetic interface was prepared on a variety of substrates, including conductive substrates, 3D metal meshes, plastic or elastic substrates, and even on filter papers. The adjustability and generality of the method have enabled new characterization tests to be developed during experiments on cells and thus should greatly facilitate clinical medicine and tissue engineering.

Abstract
There has been substantial progress made in the development of bone regeneration materials, driven by the deficiencies that exist in current clinical products, such as finite sources, donor site complications, and potential for disease transmission. To overcome these shortcomings, multifunctional scaffolds should be developed to integrate the relationship among osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and osseointegration. In this study, we fabricated polycaprolactone/gelatin (PG) nanofiber films by electrospinning, to act as barriers against connective tissue migration into bone defect sites; chitosan/poly (γ-glutamic acid)/hydroxyapatite (CPH) hydrogels were formed by electrostatic interaction and lyophilization, to exert osteoconduction; and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) was extracted from rat abdominal aorta and combined with composite scaffolds, to promote bone induction through the release of growth factors. Hydrogels were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1 month to investigate mineralization in vitro. Cytocompatibility, cell barrier effect, and osteogenic differentiation were also explored in vitro. The ability to effectively regenerate bone was analyzed by implantation of triple-layered composite scaffolds into rat calvarial defects in vivo. Size-matched hydrogel filled the defect site, and then, fresh PRF was applied to the hydrogel surface. Finally, P2G3 nanofiber films were applied and attached to the surrounding soft tissue. In short, we fabricated multifunctional triple-layered scaffolds by combining the advantages of osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and osseointegration, which could give full play to the role of PRF in bone regeneration and provide new and pragmatic concepts for bone tissue regeneration in clinical applications.

Abstract
This article reports a new process for creating polymer-based nanocomposites with enhanced dispersion of ceramic nanoparticles without using any surfactants, and the resulted changes in their optical and biological properties. Specifically, dispersion of two different ceramic nanoparticles, that is, hydroxyapatite (nHA) and magnesium oxide (nMgO) nanoparticles, in a model biodegradable polymer, namely poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), was studied. High-power sonication was integrated with dual asymmetric centrifugal (DAC) mixing to improve dispersion of nanoparticles during solvent casting. The polymer/solvent ratio was optimized to improve nanoparticle dispersion in the multistep processing, including enhancing the efficacy of sonication and DAC mixing and reducing nanoparticle sedimentation during solvent-casting. Microstructural characterization confirmed that this new process improved nanoparticle dispersion in nMgO/PLGA and nHA/PLGA nanocomposites. Improved nanoparticle dispersion increased the optical transparency visually and optical transmission quantitatively for both nHA/PLGA and nMgO/PLGA nanocomposites. Improved dispersion of nanoparticles improved the adhesion of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on nHA/PLGA but decreased BMSC viability on nMgO/PLGA. This difference is likely because the chemistry of nHA and nMgO had different effects on BMSCs. This study provided a new process for enhancing dispersion of ceramic nanoparticles in a polymer matrix and revealed the effects of dispersion on optical properties and cell responses, which are valuable for engineering optimal ceramic/polymer nanocomposites for different biomedical applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
