Use of 3D-printed polylactic acid/bioceramic composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering in preclinical in vivo studies: A systematic review. Acta Biomater 2023; 168:1-21. [PMID: 37454707 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.07.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
3D-printed composite scaffolds have emerged as an alternative to deal with existing limitations when facing bone reconstruction. The aim of the study was to systematically review the feasibility of using PLA/bioceramic composite scaffolds manufactured by 3D-printing technologies as bone grafting materials in preclinical in vivo studies. Electronic databases were searched using specific search terms, and thirteen manuscripts were selected after screening. The synthesis of the scaffolds was carried out using mainly extrusion-based techniques. Likewise, hydroxyapatite was the most used bioceramic for synthesizing composites with a PLA matrix. Among the selected studies, seven were conducted in rats and six in rabbits, but the high variability that exists regarding the experimental process made it difficult to compare them. Regarding the results, PLA/Bioceramic composite scaffolds have shown to be biocompatible and mechanically resistant. Preclinical studies elucidated the ability of the scaffolds to be used as bone grafts, allowing bone growing without adverse reactions. In conclusion, PLA/Bioceramics scaffolds have been demonstrated to be a promising alternative for treating bone defects. Nevertheless, more care should be taken when designing and performing in vivo trials, since the lack of standardization of the processes, which prevents the comparison of the results and reduces the quality of the information. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 3D-printed polylactic acid/bioceramic composite scaffolds have emerged as an alternative to deal with existing limitations when facing bone reconstruction. Since preclinical in vivo studies with animal models represent a mandatory step for clinical translation, the present manuscript analyzed and discussed not only those aspects related to the selection of the bioceramic material, the synthesis of the implants and their characterization. But provides a new approach to understand how the design and perform of clinical trials, as well as the selection of the analysis methods, may affect the obtained results, by covering authors' knowledgebase from veterinary medicine to biomaterial science. Thus, this study aims to systematically review the feasibility of using polylactic acid/bioceramic scaffolds as grafting materials in preclinical trials.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative joint disease characterized by the destruction of the articular cartilage, meniscus and the like. Autophagy and cellular energy metabolism are the mechanisms by which cells maintain homeostasis. However, little is known about the effects of autophagy and cellular energy metabolism on meniscus degeneration, and the pathogenesis of posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) after the meniscal injury is rarely reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in autophagy and cellular energy metabolism in the meniscus following anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) and PTOA induced by subsequent articular cartilage injury. In this study, we use a combination of cell experiments in vitro and animal experiments in vivo. On the one hand, cell experiment results show that inhibiting the mTORC1 signaling pathway by inhibiting the phosphorylation of S6K and AKT proteins in meniscal cells will lead to the increase of Beclin1, LC-3B, ATG12, ULK1, P62, and activate autophagy-related signaling pathways, which in turn protects the extracellular matrix component COL1 of meniscal cells from degradation by catabolic factor MMP13. In addition, it increased the generation of mitochondrial membrane potential in meniscal cells, increased the expression of anti-apoptotic factor BCL-XL, decreased the expression of pro-apoptotic factors BAD and BAX, and reduced the apoptosis of meniscal cells. More importantly, under the stimulation of inflammatory factor IL-1β, the secretion of meniscus cells can reduce the elevated levels of MMP13 and Adamts5 caused by chondrocytes affected by IL-1β. On the other hand, the results of animal experiments in vivo further proved the validity of the results of the cell experiments, and also proved that the meniscus injury did prior to the articular cartilage degeneration after ACLT. In conclusion, this study suggests that the meniscus prior to articular cartilage damage during the development of PTOA after ACLT, and that promoting autophagy and energy metabolism of meniscal cells may be a potential therapeutic target for delaying PTOA.

Vancomycin Containing PDLLA and PLGA/β-TCP Inhibit Biofilm Formation but Do Not Stimulate Osteogenic Transformation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Front Surg 2022; 9:885241. [PMID: 35846965 PMCID: PMC9283789 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.885241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims Chronic osteomyelitis, including implant-related prosthetic joint infection, is extremely difficult to cure. We develop vancomycin containing release systems from poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA) and poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composites with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis. We ask whether vancomycin containing PDLLA/β-TCP and PLGA/β-TCP composites will prevent early biofilm formation, allow cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, and stimulate osteogenic signaling molecules in the absence of an osteogenic medium. Methods Composites were produced and characterized with scanning electron microscopy. In vitro vancomycin release was assessed for 6 weeks. Biofilm prevention was calculated by crystal violet staining. Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) and osteosarcoma cell (SaOS-2) proliferation and differentiation were assessed with water soluble tetrazolium salt and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction defined osteogenic signaling molecules for hBM-MSCs. Results Totally, 3.1 ± 0.2 mg and 3.4 ± 0.4 mg vancomycin released from PDLLA/β-TCP and the PLGA/β-TCP composites, respectively, and inhibited early biofilm formation. hBM-MSCs and SaOS-2 cells proliferated on the composites and stimulated ALP activity of cells. Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and SRY-Box transcription Factor 9 (SOX9) expressions were, however, lower with composites when compared with control. Conclusion Vancomycin containing PDLLA/β-TCP and PLGA/β-TCP composites inhibited early biofilm formation and proliferated and differentiated hBM-MSCs and SaOS-2 cells, but osteogenesis-related RUNX2 and SOX9 transcription factors were not strongly expressed in the absence of an osteogenic medium for 14 days.
