Intrafibrillar mineralization of type I collagen with calcium carbonate and strontium carbonate induced by polyelectrolyte-cation complexes. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2024; 6:467-480. [PMID: 38235102 PMCID: PMC10791124 DOI: 10.1039/d3na00705g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), possessing excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteoconductivity and superior biodegradability, may serve as an alternative to hydroxyapatite (HAp), the natural inorganic component of bone and dentin. Intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen with CaCO3 was achieved through the polymer-induced liquid precursor (PILP) process for at least 2 days. This study aims to propose a novel pathway for rapid intrafibrillar mineralization with CaCO3 by sequential application of the carbonate-bicarbonate buffer and polyaspartic acid (pAsp)-Ca suspension. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, zeta potential measurements, atomic force microscopy/Kelvin probe force microscopy (AFM/KPFM), and three-dimensional stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (3D STORM) demonstrated that the carbonate-bicarbonate buffer significantly decreased the surface potential of collagen and CO32-/HCO3- ions could attach to collagen fibrils via hydrogen bonds. The electropositive pAsp-Ca complexes and free Ca2+ ions are attracted to and interact with CO32-/HCO3- ions through electrostatic attractions to form amorphous calcium carbonate that crystallizes gradually. Moreover, like CaCO3, strontium carbonate (SrCO3) can deposit inside the collagen fibrils through this pathway. The CaCO3-mineralized collagen gels exhibited better biocompatibility and cell proliferation ability than SrCO3. This study provides a feasible strategy for rapid collagen mineralization with CaCO3 and SrCO3, as well as elucidating the tissue engineering of CaCO3-based biomineralized materials.

Preparation of lithium-containing magnesium phosphate-based composite ceramics having high compressive strength, osteostimulation and proangiogenic effects. Biomed Mater 2023; 18:065008. [PMID: 37703901 DOI: 10.1088/1748-605x/acf985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
Fairly high concentrations of magnesium and lithium are conducive to improving the osteogenic and angiogenic capacities. In the current study, lithium-containing magnesium phosphate-based ceramics (AMP/LMPGs) were prepared from amorphous magnesium phosphate (AMP) at a low sintering temperature (650 °C), and the lithium/magnesium-containing phosphate glasses (LMPGs) were utilized as sintering additives. During the sintering procedure of AMP/LMPGs, the AMP reacted with LMPGs, producing new compounds. The AMP/LMPGs displayed nano-size grains and plentiful micropores. The addition of LMPGs noticeably increased the porosity as well as compressive strength of the AMP/LMPGs ceramics. The AMP/LMPGs sustainedly released Mg, P and Li ions, forming Mg-rich ionic microenvironment, which ameliorated cellular proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and proangiogenic capacities. The AMP/LMPGs ceramics with considerably high compressive strength, osteostimulation and proangiogenic effects were expected to efficiently regenerate the bone defects.

Abstract
Calcium, magnesium and phosphate are predominant constituents in the human bone. In this study, magnesium-calcium phosphate composite bioceramic scaffolds were fabricated utilizing Mg3(PO4)2 and β-Ca3(PO4)2 as starting materials, and their pore structure was constructed by 3D printing. The porosity and compressive strength of the composite bioceramic scaffolds could be adjusted by altering the sintering temperature and the formula of starting materials. The composite bioceramic scaffolds prepared from 60 wt% Mg3(PO4)2 and 40 wt% β-Ca3(PO4)2 were dominated by the Ca3Mg3(PO4)4 phase, and this Ca3Mg3(PO4)4-based bioceramic scaffolds possessed the highest compressive strength (12.7 - 92.4 MPa). Moreover, the Ca3Mg3(PO4)4-based bioceramic scaffolds stimulated cellular growth and osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells. The Ca3Mg3(PO4)4-based bioceramic scaffolds as bone regenerative biomaterials are flexible to the requirement of bone defects at various sites.

Abstract
Bone defect disease causes damage to people’s lives and property, and how to effectively promote bone regeneration is still a big clinical challenge. Most of the current repair methods focus on filling the defects, which has a poor effect on bone regeneration. Therefore, how to effectively promote bone regeneration while repairing the defects at the same time has become a challenge for clinicians and researchers. Strontium (Sr) is a trace element required by the human body, which mainly exists in human bones. Due to its unique dual properties of promoting the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and inhibiting osteoclast activity, it has attracted extensive research on bone defect repair in recent years. With the deep development of research, the mechanisms of Sr in the process of bone regeneration in the human body have been clarified, and the effects of Sr on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and the inflammatory microenvironment in the process of bone regeneration have been widely recognized. Based on the development of technology such as bioengineering, it is possible that Sr can be better loaded onto biomaterials. Even though the clinical application of Sr is currently limited and relevant clinical research still needs to be developed, Sr-composited bone tissue engineering biomaterials have achieved satisfactory results in vitro and in vivo studies. The Sr compound together with biomaterials to promote bone regeneration will be a development direction in the future. This review will present a brief overview of the relevant mechanisms of Sr in the process of bone regeneration and the related latest studies of Sr combined with biomaterials. The aim of this paper is to highlight the potential prospects of Sr functionalized in biomaterials.
