Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of the human dentin matrix could serve as an alternative to autologous, allogenic, and xenogeneic bone grafts. Since 1967, when the osteoinductive characteristics of autogenous demineralized dentin matrix were revealed, autologous tooth grafts have been advocated. The tooth is very similar to the bone and contains many growth factors. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the similarities and differences between the three samples (dentin, demineralized dentin, and alveolar cortical bone) with the aim of demonstrating that the demineralized dentin can be considered in regenerative surgery as an alternative to the autologous bone. METHODS This in vitro study analyzed the biochemical characterizations of 11 dentin granules (Group A), 11 demineralized using the Tooth Transformer (Group B), and dentin granules and 11 cortical bone granules (Group C) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to evaluate mineral content. Atomic percentages of C (carbon), O (oxygen), Ca (calcium), and P (phosphorus) were individually analyzed and compared by the statistical t-test. RESULTS The significant p-value (p < 0.05) between group A and group C indicated that these two groups were not significantly similar, while the non-significant result (p > 0.05) obtained between group B and group C indicated that these two groups are similar. CONCLUSIONS The findings support that the hypothesis that the demineralization process can lead to the dentin being remarkably similar to the natural bone in terms of their surface chemical composition. The demineralized dentin can therefore be considered an alternative to the autologous bone in regenerative surgery.

Biocompatibility of mesoporous SBA-16/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite and dentin demineralized particles on human dental pulp stem cells. Microsc Res Tech 2021; 85:1557-1567. [PMID: 34888993 DOI: 10.1002/jemt.24017] [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: 09/17/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
In the present work, a biomaterial (SBA-16/HA) based on the growth of hydroxyapatite (HA) particles within an organized silica structure SBA-16 (Santa Barbara Amorphous-16) was developed to evaluate its application to act as a porous microenvironment promoting attachment and viability of human dental pulp stem cells of healthy deciduous teeth (SHED). First, SHED were isolated and their phenotypes were evaluated by flow cytometry. The samples of SBA-16/HA were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), small and wide angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectra detector (EDS). Afterward, cells were cultured in the eluates of the above-mentioned biomaterial aged for 24 hr, 7. and 14 days. Bio-Oss® and dentin particles are involved for comparison and cells are cultured in the eluates of these two materials also. Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium bromide assay-MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide assay) was used for the determination of cell viability. The results obtained by all aforementioned characterization methods of SBA-16/HA, revealed a uniform spherical mesoporous structure, an intrinsic characteristic of this material. This material displayed excellent biocompatibility on SHEDs, and even proliferative potential, indicating that SBA-16/HA could potentially serve as a suitable substrate for bone regeneration. Contrary to SBA-16/HA, dentin particles showed low cytotoxicity at all time points, compared to control and Bio-Oss®groups. Our results substantiate the idea that SBA-16/HA has a beneficial effect on SHEDs, thus paving the way toward developing new material for bone replacement.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy and largely effects adolescents and young adults, with 60% of patients under the age of 25. There are multiple cell models of OS described in vitro that express the specific genetic alterations of the sarcoma. In the work reported here, multiple mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) modalities were employed to characterise two aggregated cellular models of OS models formed using the MG63 and SAOS-2 cell lines. Phenotyping of the metabolite activity within the two OS aggregoid models was achieved and a comparison of the metabolite data with OS human tissue samples revealed relevant fatty acid and phospholipid markers. Although, annotations of these species require MS/MS analysis for confident identification of the metabolites. From the putative assignments however, it was suggested that the MG63 aggregoids are an aggressive tumour model that exhibited metastatic-like potential. Alternatively, the SAOS-2 aggregoids are more mature osteoblast-like phenotype that expressed characteristics of cellular differentiation and bone development. It was determined the two OS aggregoid models shared similarities of metabolic behaviour with different regions of OS human tissues, specifically of the higher metastatic grade.

Abstract
One of the most popular cell lines in osteogenesis studies is the human osteoblastic line MG-63. For cell biological investigation, it is important that the cells remain stable in their phenotype over several passages in cell culture. MG-63 cells can be used to provide fundamental insights into cell--material interaction. The aim of this study is to present a systematic characterization of the physiological behavior of MG-63 cells in the range of passages 5-30. Significant cell physiology processes during the first 24 h, including cell morphology, availability of adhesion receptors, cell cycle phases, as well as the expression of the signaling proteins Akt, GSK3a/b, IkB-α, ERK1/2, p38-MAPK, and intracellular calcium ion mobilization, remained stable over the entire range of passages P5-P30. Due to these stable characteristics in a wide range of cell culture passages, MG-63 cells can be considered as a suitable in vitro model to analyze the biocompatibility and biofunctionality of implant materials.

Demineralized dentin and enamel matrices as suitable substrates for bone regeneration. J Appl Biomater Funct Mater 2017; 15:e236-e243.

Abstract
Background In recent decades, tooth derivatives such as dentin (D) and enamel (E) have
been considered as potential graft biomaterials to treat bone defects. This
study aimed to investigate the effects of demineralization on the
physical-chemical and biological behavior of D and E. Methods Human D and E were minced into particles (Ø<1 mm), demineralized and
sterilized. Thorough physical-chemical and biochemical characterizations of
native and demineralized materials were performed by SEM and EDS analysis
and ELISA kits to determine mineral, collagen type I and BMP-2 contents. In
addition, MG63 and SAOS-2 cells were seeded on tooth-derived materials and
Bio-Oss®, and a comparison of cell responses in terms of adhesion and
proliferation was carried out. Results The sterilization process, as a combination of chemical and thermal
treatments, was found to be effective for all materials. On the other hand,
D demineralization allowed preserving the collagen content, while increasing
BMP-2 bioavailability. D and demineralized D (dD) displayed excellent
biocompatibility, even greater than Bio-Oss®. Conversely, the high mineral
content displayed by E, as confirmed by EDS analysis, inhibited cell
proliferation. Of note, even though the demineralization process was somehow
less effective in E than in D, demineralized E (dE) displayed increased
BMP-2 bioavailability and improved performance in vitro compared with native
E. Conclusions Our results substantiate the idea that the demineralization process lead to
an increase of BMP-2 bioavailability, thus paving the way toward development
of more effective, osteoinductive tooth-derived materials for bone
regeneration and replacement.

PLoS One 2016; 11:e0147235.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to examine the influence of particle size and extent of demineralization of dentin matrix on bone regeneration. Materials and Methods Extracted human teeth were pulverized and divided into 3 groups according to particle size; 200, 500, and 1000 μm. Each group was divided into 3 groups depending on the extent of demineralization; undemineralized dentin (UDD), partially demineralized dentin matrix (PDDM), and completely demineralized dentin matrix (CDDM). The dentin sample was implanted into rat calvarial bone defects. After 4 and 8 weeks, the bone regeneration was evaluated with micro-CT images, histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses. Osteoblasts were cultured on UDD and DDM to evaluate the cell attachment using electron microscope. Results Micro-CT images and histological observation revealed that CDDM had largely resorbed but UDD had not, and both of them induced little bone formation, whereas all particle sizes of PDDM induced more new bone, especially the 1000 μm. Electron microscopic observation showed osteoblasts attached to DDM but not to UDD. Conclusions PDDM with larger particle size induced prominent bone regeneration, probably because PDDM possessed a suitable surface for cell attachment. There might be an exquisite balance between its resorption and bone formation on it. PDDM could be considered as a potential bone substitute.

Evaluation of Osteogenic and Cementogenic Potential of Periodontal Ligament Fibroblast Spheroids Using a Three-Dimensional In Vitro Model of Periodontium. Int J Dent 2015; 2015:605813.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional in vitro model of periodontium to investigate the osteogenic and cementogenic differentiation potential of the periodontal ligament fibroblast (PDLF) spheroids within a dentin-membrane complex. PDLFs were cultured in both spheroid forms and monolayers and were seeded onto two biological collagen-based and synthetic membranes. Cell-membrane composites were then transferred onto dentin slices with fibroblasts facing the dentin surface and further cultured for 20 days. The composites were then processed for histology and immunohistochemical analyses for osteocalcin, Runx2, periostin, and cementum attachment protein (CAP). Both membranes seeded with PDLF-derived cells adhered to dentin and fibroblasts were present at the dentin interface and spread within both membranes. All membrane-cell-dentine composites showed positive staining for osteocalcin, Runx2, and periostin. However, CAP was not expressed by any of the tissue composites. It can be concluded that PDLFs exhibited some osteogenic potential when cultured in a 3D matrix in the presence of dentin as shown by the expression of osteocalcin. However the interaction of cells and dentin in this study was unable to stimulate cementum formation. The type of membrane did not have a significant effect upon differentiation, but fibroblast seeded-PGA membrane demonstrated better attachment to dentin than the collagen membrane.

Abstract
Immortalized cell lines are used more frequently in basic and applied biology research than primary bone-derived cells because of their ease of access and repeatability of results in experiments. It is clear that these cell models do not fully resemble the behavior of primary osteoblast cells. Although the differences will affect the results of biomaterials testing, they are not clearly defined. Here, we focused on comparing proliferation and maturation potential of three osteoblast cell lines, SaOs2, MG-63, and MC3T3-E1 with primary human osteoblast (HOb) cells to assess their suitability as in vitro models for biomaterials testing. We report similarities in cell proliferation and mineralization between primary cells and MC3T3-E1. Both, SaOs2 and MG-63 cells demonstrated a higher proliferation rate than HOb cells. In addition, SaOs2, but not MG-63, cells demonstrated similar ALP activity, mineralization potential and gene regulation to HOb's. Our results demonstrate that despite SaOs-2, MG63, and MC3T3 cells being popular choices for emulating osteoblast behavior, none can be considered appropriate replacements for HOb's. Nevertheless, these cell lines all demonstrated some distinct similarities with HOb's, thus when applied in the correct context are a valuable in vitro pilot model of osteoblast functionality, but should not be used to replace primary cell studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the odontogenic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) to differentiate into odontoblast-like cells under the morphogenetic influence of dentine matrix as a possible basis for new stem cell-mediated therapeutic approaches to pulp diseases. DESIGN BMMSCs were harvested from the whole bone marrow and cells at passages 3-5 were used for subsequent experiments. For in vitro studies, 1×10(4) cells were seeded on the surface of dentine slabs and co-cultured for 2 weeks in 24-well plates, then fixed, decalcified, embedded in paraffin and serial sections were processed for analyses. Haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used for the morphological analysis of BMMSCs on the dentine slabs. The protein expression of dentine sialoprotein (DSP) in co-cultured BMMSCs was detected by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. For in vivo studies, 5×10(6) cells were collected as cell pellets, seeded onto dentine slices and transplanted into renal capsules for 6 weeks. Histological analyses of harvested tissues were performed as described for the in vitro studies. Total RNA and protein were extracted from harvested tissues and Dspp/DSP expression was investigated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS After 2 weeks of co-culture with dentine slabs, BMMSCs demonstrated good viability in terms of morphological appearance and some showed polarization and extension of their cytoplasmic processes into dentine tubules with DSP expression. In vivo study demonstrated similar morphological changes and DSP expression in cells adjacent to dentine. RT-PCR and Western blot also demonstrated that the expression of Dspp/DSP in the co-cultured BMMSCs groups was higher than in the control groups. CONCLUSION Dentine matrix can signal morphogenic induction of differentiation of BMMSCs into odontoblast-like cells in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
Being able to control the behaviour of osteoblast-like cells on a surface may provide a genuine insight into the material surface characteristics and help in creating a successful coating/cell interface. The possibility of creating a micro-environment that can induce proliferation, differentiation and mineralisation of bone cells in vitro, by successfully combining both chemistry and topography of a micro-fabricated substrate is an area that requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Utilising sputter deposition, a process that lends itself to high processability, in conjunction with photolithography allowing for the creation of highly repeatable etched surfaces, we aim to provide a successful combination of chemistry and topography. Correlating the substrate conditions with resultant osteoblast biological function and activity can ultimately be used with a view to modulating the behavior of osteoblast-like cells in vitro.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effects of Erbium (Er):YAG laser irradiation on the morphology of resected dentine surfaces, and to investigate fibroblast attachment to laser-irradiated dentine surfaces. METHODOLOGY Dentine blocks obtained from single-rooted human teeth were divided into the following groups after sterilization in an autoclave: (i) Laser group treated with Er:YAG laser irradiation (30 mJ per pulse, 10 pps, 60 s); (ii) L-MTAD group treated with laser irradiation as in (i) plus a mixture of doxycycline, tetracycline isomer and citric acid; (iii) RC-Prep group treated with EDTA gel or cream (RC-Prep) and (iv) Control group left untreated. After each treatment, the dentine blocks were incubated with NIH/3T3 fibroblasts cultured to subconfluency in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum and antibiotics. The number of attached cells amongst the groups was analysed statistically at the 5% significance level. The dentine surface morphologies and cell attachments were evaluated by counting assays, histological observations and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS The number of attached cells was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the Laser group than in the RC-Prep and Control groups at 16 h. Dendritic cell extension of the fibroblasts was only observed in the Laser group at 8 h by SEM. In the histological analyses, significantly more attached cells were found on the dentine surfaces treated with laser irradiation. CONCLUSIONS Er:YAG laser irradiation induced morphological alterations in dentine surfaces, which may improve the attachment of fibroblasts to dentine.

Abstract
Osseointegrated dental implants have been successfully used over the past several years, allowing functional replacement of missing teeth. Surface properties of titanium dental implants influence bone cell response. Implant topography appears to modulate cell growth and differentiation of osteoblasts thus affecting the bone healing process. Optimal roughness and superficial morphology are still controversial and need to be clearly defined. In the present study we evaluated in vitro the biological behavior of SaOS-2 cells, a human osteoblast-like cell line, cultured on two different titanium surfaces, smooth and sandblasted-acid-etched, by investigating cell morphology, adhesion, proliferation, expression of some bone differentiation markers and extracellular matrix components. Results showed that the surface topography may influence in vitro the phenotypical expression of human osteoblast-like cells. In particular the tested sandblasted-acid-etched titanium surface induced a significantly increased Co I deposition and α2-β1 receptor expression as compared to the relatively smooth surface, promoting a probable tendency of SaOS-2 cells to shift toward a mature osteoblastic phenotype. It is therefore likely that specific surface properties of sandblasted-acid-etched titanium implants may modulate the biological behavior of osteoblasts during bone tissue healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two osteosarcoma-derived cell lines have been extensively used to investigate the biological events occurring on titanium surfaces: MG63 and Saos-2. However, the behavior of the two lines on different titanium surfaces has never been compared. AIM The aim of the present study was to compare the behavior of MG63 and Saos-2 cells on two different titanium surfaces, machined and rough (sandblasting and acid-etched). We compared cell proliferation and morphology, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and secretion of osteocalcin (OC). RESULTS The most pronounced difference between the two cell lines was that ALP activity in the Saos-2 cells was 10-fold higher than in the MG63 cells. The proliferation rate of the MG63 cells was much higher than that of the Saos-2 cells at all the tested cell concentrations. MG-63 cells, but not Saos-2 cells, grown on rough surface titanium proliferated more rapidly than cells grown on machined surfaces. Morphological analysis revealed that Saos-2 cells and cells grown on the rougher surface, displayed a more mature phenotype. The level of OC secreted by the Saos-2 cells, but not the MG63 cells, were higher on the rough surface than on the machined surface. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that Saos-2 cells exhibit a more mature osteoblast phenotype, compared with that of MG63 cells, rendering them a good candidate for an in vitro model of osseointegration.

Abstract
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has a long history of use in medical devices, primarily for articulating surfaces due to its inherent low surface energy which limits tissue integration. To widen the applications of UHMWPE, the surface energy can be increased. The increase in surface energy would improve the adsorption of proteins and attachment of cells to allow tissue integration, thereby allowing UHMWPE to potentially be used for a wider range of implants. The attachment and function of human primary osteoblast-like (HOB) cells to surfaces of UHMWPE with various levels of incorporated surface oxygen have been investigated. The surface modification of the UHMWPE was produced by exposure to a UV/ozone treatment. The resulting surface chemistry was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the topography and surface structure were probed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed an increase in surface oxygen from 11 to 26 atom % with no significant change to the surface topography. The absolute root mean square roughness of both untreated and UV/ozone-treated surfaces was within 350-450 nm, and the water contact angles decreased with increasing oxygen incorporation, i.e., showing an increase in surface hydrophilicity. Cell attachment and functionality were assessed over a 21 day period for each cell-surface combination studied; these were performed using SEM and the alamarBlue assay to study cell attachment and proliferation and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis to confirm extracellular mineral deposits, and total protein assay to examine the intra- and extracellular protein expressed by the cells. HOB cells cultured for 21 days on the modified UHMWPE surfaces with 19 and 26 atom % oxygen incorporated showed significantly higher cell densities compared to cells cultured on tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) from day 3 onward. This indicated that the cells attached and proliferated more readily on the UV/ozone-treated UHMWPE surfaces than on untreated UHMWPE and TCPS surfaces. Contact guidance of the cells was observed on the UHMWPE surfaces by both SEM and AFM. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the cells were confluent on the modified UHMWPE surfaces by day 10, which led to visible layering of the cells by day 21, an indicator of nodule formation. In vitro mineralization of the extracellular matrix expressed by the HOB cells on the modified UHMWPE surfaces was confirmed by SEM and EDX analysis; spherulite structures were observed near cell protrusions by day 21. EDX analysis confirmed the spherulites to contain calcium and phosphorus, the major constituents in calcium phosphate apatite, the mineral phase of bone. Overall cell attachment, functionality, and mineralization were found to be enhanced on the UV/ozone-modified UHMWPE surfaces, demonstrating the importance of optimizing the surface chemistry for primary HOB cells.

Abstract
It was recognized that periodontal progenitor cells penetrate disintegrated Hertwig's epithelial root sheath, and contact with root dentin give rise to periodontium formation. Clinically, direct contact of the conditioned or denuded root surfaces with periodontal cells seems to be a prerequisite for periodontal regeneration. In this study, we investigated the biological effect of dentin noncollagenous proteins (DNCPs) on the human periodontal ligament stem cells (HPDLSCs) in vitro and in vivo. Chemical-conditioned root dentin (CCRD) was prepared by process of partly demineralization and deproteinization. Treated HPDLSCs with DNCPs showed increased proliferation and adhesion ability. Induced HPDLSCs presented several features of cementoblast differentiation, as indicated by morphologic changes, enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, increased matrix mineralization, and upregulated expression of mineralization-associated genes. Incubation of treated HPDLSC aggregate in vivo revealed that cementum-like tissues formed along the CCRD surface with fibrous tissue adjacent to or inserted into it, but untreated HPDLSCs cannot form similar structure. To our knowledge, this is the first study to apply active proteins derived from dentin with periodontal stem cells to construct periodontal structure, which may shed light on human periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Based on their content of prolactin receptors, osteosarcoma cells were predicted to be responsive to prolactin (PRL), but whether PRL would be beneficial or contribute to pathogenesis was unclear. 1,25(OH)(2) vitamin D(3) [1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)] has antiproliferative effects on osteosarcoma cells, and a complex interregulatory situation exists between PRL and 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). Using osteosarcoma cells, Western blot, real time RT-PCR, and promoter-luciferase assays, we have examined the interaction between PRL and 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and demonstrated that physiological concentrations of PRL block increased osteocalcin and vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression in response to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3.) This blockade was shown to be the result of lack of nuclear accumulation of the VDR in response to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). Although inhibition of proteasomic degradation with MG132 had no effect on the VDR itself in a 30-min time frame, it relieved the blockade by PRL. Analysis of ubiquitinated proteins brought down by immunoprecipitation with anti-VDR showed PRL regulation of a 250-kDa protein-VDR complex. P250 was identified as the breast cancer tumor suppressor gene product, BRCA1, by Western blot of the VDR immunoprecipitate and confirmed by immunoprecipitation with anti-BRCA1 and blotting for the VDR in the absence and presence of PRL. Knockdown of BRCA1 inhibited nuclear translocation of the VDR and the ability of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) to induce the VDR. This, to our knowledge, is the first demonstration of a role for BRCA1 in nuclear accumulation of a steroid hormone and the first demonstration that PRL has the potential to affect the cell cycle through effects on BRCA1.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of low frequency ultrasound (US) were examined on odontoblasts, the primary cell responsible for dentinogenesis and dentine repair. An established odontoblast-like cell line, MDPC-23, was subjected to 30 kHz ultrasound at three different power settings. US induced a marginal level of cell death (3% to 4%) at lower amplitudes rising to 25% cell death at the highest power tested. The latter was reflected in a 30% decrease in cell attachment after 4 to 24 h of culture, while the number of adherent cells was reduced by approximately 10% to 15% in the lower power groups. Cell replication after 24 h, as measured by BrdU incorporation, showed no significant changes in the US-treated groups. Gene expression analyses demonstrated a moderate dose-dependent increase in the expression of GAPDH (glyseraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase)-normalised collagen type I, osteopontin (OPN), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFbeta1) and the heat shock protein (hsp) 70. The greatest change was found in the expression of the small hsp 25/27, which showed a two- to six-fold increase following US treatment. No significant effects were observed for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and core-binding factor A1 (CBFA1/Runx2) expression levels. This is the first report describing US effects on odontoblasts. Further studies are warranted to elucidate US effects on odontoblast function and to evaluate US as a therapeutic application in dentine repair.

Abstract
Dentin contains numerous polypeptides and signaling molecules sequestered in a mineralized matrix. The exposure and release of these molecules occur as a consequence of injury to the pulp and periodontal ligament, which may result from luxation, orthodontic movement or infections of tooth and periodontal structures. When released at these sites, dentin constituents have the potential to act on different surrounding cells, including periodontal cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts and inflammatory cells, and to affect the course of dental disease. Experimental studies have highlighted the interactions between dentin and cells from tooth and periodontal tissues and reveal dentin to be a cell adhesive, signaling and migratory stimulus for various mesenchymal and inflammatory cells. These results support the hypothesis that dentin molecules might function as regulatory signals for the healing and resorption of dental and periodontal tissues. Data from recent and classical investigations are summarized, many open questions are discussed, and current hypotheses concerning the mechanisms of tooth resorption and periodontal healing are outlined. Many questions regarding the importance of dentin as a source of multifunctional molecules remain unanswered and provide important directions for future studies.

Abstract
The cells in bone grow on a composite matrix made up of mineral and organic (mainly type-I collagen) components. In this study, anorganic bone mineral (ABM) particles were coated with a cell-binding domain of type-I collagen (P-15 peptide) to mimic the bone matrix components and suspended in injectable hyaluronate (Hy) hydrogels. The ABM/P-15/Hy was compared to ABM/Hy-the same matrix without P-15 peptide. Osteoblast-like HOS cells migrated through the hydrogels around ABM/P-15 or ABM particles; however, more cells adhered to ABM/P-15/Hy particles, and the cells formed better surface coverage and had more stress fibers on ABM/P-15/Hy. HOS cells cultured on ABM/P-15/Hy had increased osteogenic gene expression for alkaline phosphatase and bone morphogenetic proteins, and deposited more mineralized matrix. Studies with two different hydrogels (carboxymethylcellulose and sodium alginate) showed similar enhanced cell attachment and mineralization. The studies suggest that the ABM/P-15 in hydrogels can be used as an injectable biomimetic matrix to facilitate bone repair.

Abstract
Implant surface morphology regulates osteoblast phenotypic expression. Osteoblast sensitivity to non-biologic surfaces suggests that native bone surface features may also affect osteoblast response. To test this, MG63 osteoblast-like cells were grown for 7 days on bovine cortical bone wafers pretreated with rat bone marrow osteoclasts for 0, 10 or 20 days. Response to osteoclast-treated surfaces was compared to the response of MG63 cells to titanium surfaces with smooth and rough microtopographies. Cell number, differentiation (alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin levels), and local factors (PGE(2) and TGF-beta1) were measured in confluent cultures. Compared to culture on plastic, cell number was reduced on all three types of bone wafers; this effect was dose-dependent with increasing resorption of the surface. Alkaline phosphatase specific activity was increased (P<or=0.05) on all three surfaces compared with plastic, but this increase was not dependent on resorption time, indicating this parameter was sensitive to the surface (bovine bone vs. plastic) but not to osteoclast-resorption. There was a direct correlation between the area of the bone surface resorbed and the amount of osteocalcin, TGF-beta1 and PGE(2) (R(2)=0.8025, 0.8689, 0.8896, respectively). With 20 days of osteoclast pretreatment, there was a 20-fold increase in osteocalcin over plastic and a 7-fold increase over cultures on untreated bone wafers. Similar increases were found for TGF-beta1 and PGE(2). Thus, surface changes resulting from osteoclast pretreatment have a strong effect on osteoblast phenotypic expression, and suggest that microtopography may play a role.
