Abstract
Additive manufacturing of metals using selective laser melting can create customized parts with various degrees of complexity and geometry for medical implants. However, challenges remain in accepting orthopedic implants due to the bio-inert surface of metal scaffolds, resulting in a lack of osseointegration. Here, we show that polycrystalline diamond (PCD) coatings on selective laser melted titanium (SLM-Ti) scaffolds can improve the cell-to-material interaction of osteoblasts. The results show that by controlling the uniformity of the diamond coatings, we can mediate the biological response of osteoblasts, such as cell adhesion, proliferation, and spreading. The osteoblasts show favorable cell adhesion and spreading on non-planar PCD-coated scaffolds compared to the un-coated SLM-Ti scaffold. This study plays an important role in understanding the key physicochemical behavior of bone cell growth on customized orthopedic implant materials.

Human osteoblast and fibroblast response to oral implant biomaterials functionalized with non-thermal oxygen plasma. Sci Rep 2021; 11:17302. [PMID: 34453071 PMCID: PMC8397744 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-96526-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Plasma-treatment of oral implant biomaterials prior to clinical insertion is envisaged as a potential surface modification method for enhanced implant healing. To investigate a putative effect of plasma-functionalized implant biomaterials on oral tissue cells, this investigation examined the response of alveolar bone osteoblasts and gingival fibroblasts to clinically established zirconia- and titanium-based implant surfaces for bone and soft tissue integration. The biomaterials were either functionalized with oxygen-plasma in a plasma-cleaner or left untreated as controls, and were characterized in terms of topography and wettability. For the biological evaluation, the cell adhesion, morphogenesis, metabolic activity and proliferation were examined, since these parameters are closely interconnected during cell-biomaterial interaction. The results revealed that plasma-functionalization increased implant surface wettability. The magnitude of this effect thereby depended on surface topography parameters and initial wettability of the biomaterials. Concerning the cell response, plasma-functionalization of smooth surfaces affected initial fibroblast morphogenesis, whereas osteoblast morphology on rough surfaces was mainly influenced by topography. The plasma- and topography-induced differential cell morphologies were however not strong enough to trigger a change in proliferation behaviour. Hence, the results indicate that oxygen plasma-functionalization represents a possible cytocompatible implant surface modification method which can be applied for tailoring implant surface wettability.

Functionalisation of a heat-derived and bio-inert albumin hydrogel with extracellular matrix by air plasma treatment. Sci Rep 2020; 10:12429.

Abstract
Albumin-based hydrogels are increasingly attractive in tissue engineering because they provide a xeno-free, biocompatible and potentially patient-specific platform for tissue engineering and drug delivery. The majority of research on albumin hydrogels has focused on bovine serum albumin (BSA), leaving human serum albumin (HSA) comparatively understudied. Different gelation methods are usually employed for HSA and BSA, and variations in the amino acid sequences of HSA and BSA exist; these account for differences in the hydrogel properties. Heat-induced gelation of aqueous HSA is the easiest method of synthesizing HSA hydrogels however hydrogel opacity and poor cell attachment limit their usefulness in downstream applications. Here, a solution to this problem is presented. Stable and translucent HSA hydrogels were created by controlled thermal gelation and the addition of sodium chloride. The resulting bio-inert hydrogel was then subjected to air plasma treatment which functionalised its surface, enabling the attachment of basement membrane matrix (Geltrex). In vitro survival and proliferation studies of foetal human osteoblasts subsequently demonstrated good biocompatibility of functionalised albumin hydrogels compared to untreated samples. Thus, air plasma treatment enables functionalisation of inert heat-derived HSA hydrogels with extracellular matrix proteins and these may be used as a xeno-free platform for biomedical research or cell therapy.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a promising technology for tissue engineering. However, 3D-printing methods are limited in their ability to produce desired microscale features or electrochemical properties in support of robust cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. This study addresses this deficiency by proposing an integrated, one-step, method to increase the cytocompatibility of 3D-printed scaffolds through functionalization leveraging conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs). To this end, CNTs were first sonicated with water-soluble single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA) to generate a negatively charged ssDNA@CNT nano-complex. Concomitantly, 3D-printed poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) scaffolds were ammonolyzed to introduce free amine groups, which can take on a positive surface charge in water. The ssDNA@CNT nano-complex was then applied to 3D-printed scaffolds through a simple one-step coating utilizing electric-static force. This fast and facile functionalization step resulted in a homogenous and non-toxic coating of CNTs to the surface, which significantly improved the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of pre-osteoblast cells. In addition, the CNT based conductive coating layer enabled modulation of cell behavior through electrical stimuli (ES) leading to cellular proliferation and osteogenic gene marker expression, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN). Collectively, these data provide the foundation for a one-step functionalization method for simple, fast, and effective functionalization of 3D printed scaffolds that support enhanced cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, especially when employed in conjunction with ES. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a promising technology for tissue engineering. However, 3D-printing methods have limited ability to produce desired features or electrochemical properties in support of robust cell behavior. To address this deficiency, the current study proposed an integrated, one-step method to increase the cytocompatibility of 3D-printed scaffolds through functionalization leveraging conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This fast and facile functionalization resulted in a homogenous and non-toxic coating of CNTs to the surface, which significantly improved the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of cells on the 3D-printed scaffolds.

Abstract
Bioinspired by the morphology of osteoclast-resorbed bone surfaces, we prepared a calcium-doped titanium phosphate (Ca-TiP) coating, which consists of a nanofibrous network, on titanium (Ti) substrate via a simple two-step hydrothermal method, trying to mimic natural bone compositionally and microstructurally. The in vitro studies show that the Ca-TiP coating with synergistic features of nanofibrous biomimetic topography and surface chemistry could elicit intensively osteogenic behavior and responses including enhanced cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation as well as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and up-regulated expression of bone-related genes, which inevitably benefit the formation of new bone and the quality of osseointegration. When the two control groups are compared in vivo, the significantly improved new bone formation in the early stage and the much stronger interfacial bonding with the surrounding bone for Ca-TiP coating suggest that Ca-TiP coating modified Ti implants hold great potential for orthopedic and dental applications.

Abstract
Since surface plays a key role in bioactivity, the response of the host to the biomaterial will determine the success or failure of the prosthesis. The purpose of this study is to make an exhaustive analysis of the histological and histochemical characteristics of new bone tissue around Zr implants anodized at 60 V (Zr60) supported by histomorphometric methods in a rat model. Fibrous tissue was observed around the control implants (Zr0) and osteoblasts were identified on the trabeculae close to the implantation site that showed typical cytological characteristics of active secretory cells, regardless of the surface condition. The histomorphometrical analysis revealed a significant increase in cancellous bone volume, trabecular thickness and in trabecular number together with a decrease in trabecular separation facing Zr60. TRAP staining showed that there was a relative increase in the number of osteoclasts for Zr60. In addition, a larger number of osteoclast with a greater number of nuclei were detected in the tibiae for Zr60. This research demonstrated that the new bone microarchitecture in contact with Zr60 is able to improve the early stages of the osseointegration process and consequently the primary stability of implants which is a crucial factor to reduce recovery time for patients.

Abstract
Chitosan (CHT) is a polysaccharide with multiple claimed properties and outstanding biocompatibility, generally attributed to the presence of protonable amino groups rendering a cationic natural polymer. However, the effect of changes in CHT structure due to hydration is not considered in its performance. This study compares the effects on biocompatibility after drying at 25 °C and 150 °C scaffolds of chitosan, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) crosslinked CHT (low, medium and high concentration) and glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinked CHT. PEGDE crosslinked CHT showed a reduction in free amino groups and the amide I/II ratio, which exhaustive drying reduced further. In X-ray diffraction (DRX) analysis, PEGDE crosslinked CHT showed multiple peaks, whereas the crystallinity percentage was reduced with an increase in PEGDE concentration and thermal treatments at 150 °C. In a direct contact cell assay, high osteoblast viability was achieved at low and medium PEDGE concentrations, which was improved when the crosslinked scaffolds were thermally treated at 150 °C. This was attributed to its partial hydrophilicity, low crystallinity and low surface roughness; this in spite of the small reduction in the amount of free amino groups on the surface induced during drying at 150 °C. Furthermore, PEGDE crosslinked CHT scaffolds showed strong vinculin and integrin 1β expression, which render them suitable for bone contact applications.

Abstract
Surface structuring of titanium-based implants is known to modulate the behavior of adherent cells, but the influence of different nanotopographies is poorly understood. The aim is to investigate preosteoblast proliferation, adhesion, morphology, and migration on surfaces with similar surface chemistry but distinct nanotopographical features. Sonochemical treatment and anodic oxidation are employed to fabricate disordered, mesoporous titania (TMS) and ordered titania nanotubular (TNT) topographies on titanium, respectively. Morphological evaluation reveals that cells are polygonal and well-spread on TMS, but display an elongated, fibroblast-like morphology on TNT surfaces, while they are much flatter on glass. Both nanostructured surfaces impair cell adhesion, but TMS is more favorable for cell growth due to its support of cell attachment and spreading in contrast to TNT. A quantitative wound healing assay in combination with live-cell imaging reveals that cell migration on TMS surfaces has a more collective character than on other surfaces, probably due to a closer proximity between neighboring migrating cells on TMS. The results indicate distinctly different cell adhesion and migration on ordered and disordered titania nanotopographies, providing important information that can be used in optimizing titanium-based scaffold design to foster bone tissue growth and repair while allowing for the encapsulation of drugs into porous titania layer.

Abstract
Porous Nb-Ti-Ta (at.%) alloys with the pore size of 100-600μm and the porosity of 50%-80% were fabricated by the combination of the sponge impregnation technique and sintering method. The results revealed that the pores were well connected with three-dimensional (3D) network structure, which showed morphological similarity to the anisotropic porous structure of human bones. The results also showed that the alloys could provide the compressive Young's modulus of 0.11±0.01GPa to 2.08±0.09GPa and the strength of 17.45±2.76MPa to 121.67±1.76MPa at different level of porosity, indicating that the mechanical properties of the alloys are similar to those of human bones. Pore structure on the compressive properties was also discussed on the basis of the deformation mode. The relationship between compressive properties and porosity was well consistent with the Gibson-Ashby model. The mechanical properties could be tailored to match different requirements of the human bones. Moreover, the alloys had good biocompatibility due to the porous structure with higher surface, which were suitable for apatite formation and cell adhesion. In conclusion, the porous Nb-Ti-Ta alloy is potentially useful in the hard tissue implants for the appropriate mechanical properties as well as the good biocompatible properties.

Abstract
Fabricating Ti alloy based dental implants with defined porous scaffold structure is a promising strategy for improving the osteoinduction of implants. In this study, we use Laser Beam Melting (LBM) 3D printing technique to fabricate porous Ti6Al4V dental implant prototypes with three controlled pore sizes (200, 350 and 500 μm). The mechanical stress distribution in the surrounding bone tissue is characterized by photoelastography and associated finite element simulation. For in-vitro studies, experiments on implants’ biocompatibility and osteogenic capability are conducted to evaluate the cellular response correlated to the porous structure. As the preliminary results, porous structured implants show a lower stress-shielding to the surrounding bone at the implant neck and a more densed distribution at the bottom site compared to the reference implant. From the cell proliferation tests and the immunofluorescence images, 350 and 500 μm pore sized implants demonstrate a better biocompatibility in terms of cell growth, migration and adhesion. Osteogenic genes expression of the 350 μm group is significantly increased alone with the ALP activity test. All these suggest that a pore size of 350 μm provides an optimal provides an optimal potential for improving the mechanical shielding to the surrounding bones and osteoinduction of the implant itself.

Abstract
Titanium alloys with various porous structures can be fabricated by advanced additive manufacturing techniques, which are attractive for use as scaffolds for bone defect repair. However, modification of the scaffold surfaces, particularly inner surfaces, is critical to improve the osteointegration of these scaffolds. In this study, a biomimetic approach was employed to construct polydopamine-assisted hydroxyapatite coating (HA/pDA) onto porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds fabricated by the electron beam melting method. The surface modification was characterized with the field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, water contact angle measurement, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Attachment and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells on the scaffold surface were significantly enhanced by the HA/pDA coating compared to the unmodified surfaces. Additionally, MC3T3-E1 cells grown on the HA/pDA-coated Ti6Al4V scaffolds displayed significantly higher expression of runt-related transcription factor-2, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, osteopontin, and collagen type-1 compared with bare Ti6Al4V scaffolds after culture for 14 days. Moreover, microcomputed tomography analysis and Van-Gieson staining of histological sections showed that HA/pDA coating on surfaces of porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds enhanced osteointegration and significantly promoted bone regeneration after implantation in rabbit femoral condylar defects for 4 and 12 weeks. Therefore, this study provides an alternative to biofunctionalized porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds with improved osteointegration and osteogenesis functions for orthopedic applications.

Abstract
A comparative study on the in vitro osteogenic potential of electrospun poly-L-lactide/hydroxyapatite/collagen (PLLA/HA/Col, PLLA/HA, and PLLA/Col) scaffolds was conducted. The morphology, chemical composition, and surface roughness of the fibrous scaffolds were examined. Furthermore, cell attachment, distribution, morphology, mineralization, extracellular matrix protein localization, and gene expression of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) differentiated on the fibrous scaffolds PLLA/Col/HA, PLLA/Col, and PLLA/HA were also analyzed. The electrospun scaffolds with a diameter of 200–950 nm demonstrated well-formed interconnected fibrous network structure, which supported the growth of hMSCs. When compared with PLLA/H%A and PLLA/Col scaffolds, PLLA/Col/HA scaffolds presented a higher density of viable cells and significant upregulation of genes associated with osteogenic lineage, which were achieved without the use of specific medium or growth factors. These results were supported by the elevated levels of calcium, osteocalcin, and mineralization (P<0.05) observed at different time points (0, 7, 14, and 21 days). Furthermore, electron microscopic observations and fibronectin localization revealed that PLLA/Col/HA scaffolds exhibited superior osteoinductivity, when compared with PLLA/Col or PLLA/HA scaffolds. These findings indicated that the fibrous structure and synergistic action of Col and nano-HA with high-molecular-weight PLLA played a vital role in inducing osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. The data obtained in this study demonstrated that the developed fibrous PLLA/Col/HA biocomposite scaffold may be supportive for stem cell based therapies for bone repair, when compared with the other two scaffolds.

Abstract
To mimic the extracellular microenvironment of bone, a bioactive multilayered structure of gelatin/chitosan pair, containing bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2) and fibronectin (FN), was constructed onto Ti6Al4V surface via a layer-by-layer assembly technique. The successful fabrication of multilayered structure was confirmed by contact angle measurement, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), respectively. Bioactive BMP2 released in a sustained manner along with the degradation of multilayered structure. MSCs grown onto the multilayer coated TC4 substrates displayed significantly higher (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05) production levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), mineralization and genes expressions of runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix, osteocalcin (OC), osteopontin (OPN), ALP and collagen type Ⅰ(ColⅠ) compared to the controls after culture for 7 days and 21 days, respectively. More importantly, MicroCT analysis and histological observations demonstrated that the multilayer coated Ti6Al4V implants in vivo promoted the bone density and new bone formation around them after implantation for 4 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively. The results indicated that Ti6Al4V coated with biofunctional multilayers was beneficial for osteogenesis and integration of implant/bone. The study therefore presents an alternative to fabricate bio-functionalized Ti6Al4V-based implants for potential application in orthopedics field.

Abstract
The present review is based on a survey of 21 studies on the cytocompatibility of medical biomaterials containing nickel, as assessed by cell culture of human and animal osteoblasts or osteoblast-like cells. Among the biomaterials evaluated were stainless steel, NiTi alloys, pure Ni, Ti, and other pure metals. The materials were either commercially available, prepared by the authors, or implanted by various techniques to generate a protective layer of oxides, nitrides, acetylides. The observation that the layers significantly reduced the initial release of metal ions and increased cytocompatibility was confirmed in cell culture experiments. Physical and chemical characterization of the materials was performed. This included, e.g., surface characterization (roughness, wettability, corrosion behavior, quantity of released ions, microhardness, and characterization of passivation layer). Cytocompatibility tests of the materials were conducted in the cultures of human or animal osteoblasts and osteoblast-like cells. The following assays were carried out: cell proliferation and viability test, adhesion test, morphology (by fluorescent microscopy or SEM). Also phenotypic and genotypic markers were investigated. In the majority of works, it was found that the most cytocompatible materials were stainless steel and NiTi alloy. Pure Ni was rendered and less cytocompatible. All the papers confirmed that the consequence of the formation of protective layers was in significant increase of cytocompatibility of the materials. This indicates the possible further modifications of the manufacturing process (formation of the passivation layer).

Abstract
Bone matrix, mainly composed of type I collagen and apatite, is constantly modified during the bone remodeling process, which exposes bone cells to various proportions of mineralized collagen within bone structural units. Collagen-mineralized substrates have been shown to increase osteoblast activities. We hypothesized that such effects may be explained by a rapid secretion of specific growth factors and/or deposition of specific matrix proteins. Using MC3T3-E1 seeded for 32h on collagen substrates complexed with various apatite contents, we found that pre-osteoblasts in contact with mineralized collagen gave rise to a dose-dependent deposit of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) and RGD-containing proteins such as osteopontin (OPN) and fibronectin (FN). This RGD-matrix deposition reinforced the cell adhesion to collagen-mineralized substrates. It was also observed that, on these substrates, this matrix was elaborated concomitantly to an increased cell migration, allowing a homogeneous coverage of the sample. This particular surface activation was probably done firstly to reinforce cell survival (VEGF-A) and adhesion (OPN, FN) and secondly to recruit and prepare surfaces for subsequent bone cell activity.

Abstract
Anodic spark deposition (ASD) is an attractive technique for improving the implant-bone interface that can be applied to titanium and titanium alloys. This technique produces a surface with microporous morphology and an oxide layer enriched with calcium and phosphorus. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biological response in vitro using primary human osteoblasts as a cellular model and the osteogenic primary response in vivo within a short experimental time frame (2 and 4 weeks) in an animal model (rabbit). Responses were assessed by comparing the new electrochemical biomimetic treatments to an acid-etching treatment as control. The in vitro biological response was characterized by cell morphology, adhesion, proliferation activity and cell metabolic activity. A complete assessment of osteogenic activity in vivo was achieved by estimating static and dynamic histomorphometric parameters at several time points within the considered time frame. The in vitro study showed enhanced osteoblast adhesion and higher metabolic activity for the ASD-treated surfaces during the first days after seeding compared to the control titanium. For the ASD surfaces, the histomorphometry indicated a higher mineral apposition rate within 2 weeks and a more extended bone activation within the first week after surgery, leading to more extensive bone-implant contact after 2 weeks. In conclusion, the ASD surface treatments enhanced the biological response in vitro, promoting an early osteoblast adhesion, and the osteointegrative properties in vivo, accelerating the primary osteogenic response.

Abstract
The mechanisms of early cellular recruitment and interaction to titanium implants are not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and adhesion markers during the first 24 h of implantation. Anodically oxidized and machined titanium implants were inserted in rat tibia. After 3, 12, and 24 h the implants were unscrewed and analyzed with quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemistry and scanning electron microscopy revealed different cell types, morphology and adhesion at the two implant surfaces. A greater amount of cells, as indicated by higher expression of small subunit ribosomal RNA (18S), was detected on the oxidized surface. Higher expression of CXC chemokine receptor-4 (at 12 h) and integrins, alphav (at 12 h), beta1 (at 24 h) and beta2 (at 12 and 24 h) was detected at the oxidized surfaces. Significantly higher tumor necrosis factor-alpha (at 3 h) and interleukin-1beta (at 24 h) expression was demonstrated for the machined surface. It is concluded that material surface properties rapidly modulate the expression of receptors important for the recruitment and adhesion of cells which are crucial for the inflammatory and regenerative processes at implant surfaces in vivo.

Abstract
Bone is a nanocomposite consisting of two main components, nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) and Type I collagen (Col). The aim is to exploit the nano-scale functional and material characteristics of natural bone in order to modulate cellular functions for optimal bone repair in bone graft systems. Here, we present an effective and novel technique in obtaining n-HA in cognate with native apatite on electrospun nanofibers within minutes without any pre-treatment. Using an alternate calcium and phosphate (Ca-P) solution dipping method, n-HA was formed on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA) and blended PLGA/Col nanofibers. The presence of the functional groups of collagen significantly hastened n-HA deposition closed to nine-fold. The quantity of n-HA impinged upon the specific surface area, whereby mineralized PLGA/Col had a greater surface area than non-mineralized PLGA/Col, whereas n-HA did not significantly improve the specific surface area of mineralized PLGA compared to pure PLGA. The novelty of the process was that n-HA on PLGA had a positive modulation on early osteoblast capture (within minutes) compared to pure PLGA. Contrary, cell capture on mineralized PLGA/Col was comparable to pure PLGA/Col. Interestingly, although n-HA impeded proliferation during the culture period (days 1, 4 and 7), the cell functionality such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and protein expressions were ameliorated on mineralized nanofibers. The amount of n-HA appeared to have a greater effect on the early stages of osteoblast behavior (cell attachment and proliferation) rather than the immediate/late stages (proliferation and differentiation).
