[PMID: 37285882 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) and chitosan (CS) biopolymer are the major materials investigated for biomedical purposes. Both of these components play an important role in the orthopedic field as bone substitutes or drug release systems. Used separately, the hydroxyapatite is quite fragile, while CS mechanical strength is very weak. Therefore, a combination of HA and CS polymer is used, which provides excellent mechanical performance with high biocompatibility and biomimetic capacity. Moreover, the porous structure and reactivity of the hydroxyapatite-chitosan (HA-CS) composite allow their application not only as a bone repair but also as a drug delivery system providing controlled drug release directly to the bone site. These features make biomimetic HA-CS composite a subject of interest for many researchers. Through this review, we provide the important recent achievements in the development of HA-CS composites, focusing on manufacturing techniques, conventional and novel three-dimensional bioprinting technology, and physicochemical and biological properties. The drug delivery properties and the most relevant biomedical applications of the HA-CS composite scaffolds are also presented. Finally, alternative approaches are proposed to develop HA composites with the aim to improve their physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties.

Hydroxyapatite Biobased Materials for Treatment and Diagnosis of Cancer. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911352.

Abstract
Great advances in cancer treatment have been undertaken in the last years as a consequence of the development of new antitumoral drugs able to target cancer cells with decreasing side effects and a better understanding of the behavior of neoplastic cells during invasion and metastasis. Specifically, drug delivery systems (DDS) based on the use of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp NPs) are gaining attention and merit a comprehensive review focused on their potential applications. These are derived from the intrinsic properties of HAp (e.g., biocompatibility and biodegradability), together with the easy functionalization and easy control of porosity, crystallinity and morphology of HAp NPs. The capacity to tailor the properties of DLS based on HAp NPs has well-recognized advantages for the control of both drug loading and release. Furthermore, the functionalization of NPs allows a targeted uptake in tumoral cells while their rapid elimination by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) can be avoided. Advances in HAp NPs involve not only their use as drug nanocarriers but also their employment as nanosystems for magnetic hyperthermia therapy, gene delivery systems, adjuvants for cancer immunotherapy and nanoparticles for cell imaging.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2021; 167:106031.

Abstract
In this study, biodegradable and thermosensitive F127 hydrogel containing folic acid.MgO:ZnO/chitosan hybrid particles (FMZC) was fabricated as a 3D mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) delivery vehicle for regenerative medicine and wound healing purposes, in such a way to be responsive to lysozyme and UVA irradiation. The results showed that F127 hydrogel containing FMZC is a suitable and nontoxic construct for encapsulation of MSCs in the presence of lysozyme and UVA irradiation, bearing high stem cell viability and proliferation. The final hydrogel, MSC&FMZC, in response to lysozyme induced a higher proliferation rate and migration in human foreskin fibroblast cells (HFF). These phenomena were attributed to the released F.MgO:ZnO nanocomposites from chitosan microparticles and paracrine factors from MSCs within the hydrogel, resulting in synergistic biological effects. Moreover, lysozyme-treated MSC&FMZC hydrogel showed higher antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria than bare hydrogel. However, a significant increase in the antibacterial activity of MSC&FMZC was observed as the treated bacteria were subjected to UVA irradiation owing to the photocatalytic activity of F.MgO:ZnO nanocomposites. Regarding the antibacterial activity and stimulating skin cell behavior of MSC&FMZC hydrogel that can promote the regenerative activities of skin, it could be considered as a promising scaffold for bacteria-accompanied wound healing.

Mg.ATP-decorated ultrafine magnetic nanofibers: A bone scaffold with high osteogenic and antibacterial properties in the presence of an electromagnetic field. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 210:112256. [PMID: 34875469 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.112256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2021] [Revised: 11/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
In this study, ultrafine magnetic nanofibers were developed for bone regeneration purposes. Nanofibers were acquired by electrospinning using a two-component nanofiber matrix (CP: chitosan (Cs) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)) containing different concentrations of succinate conjugated-magnetic hydroxyapatite nanocomposites (SMHA). Hybrid nanofibers (CP&SMHA) containing 5 mg ml-1 of SMHA nanocomposite showed well-defined properties in terms of physicochemical properties and cell behavior. Then, they were modified with adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and Mg2+ ions. The initial adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells and their proliferation rate on the surface of modified nanofibers (Mg.ATP.CP&SMHA) were significantly increased as compared to those of bare nanofibers. Analysis of common osteogenic markers such as alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 and osteocalcin confirmed the osteogenic efficacy enhancement of CP&SMHA nanofibers when they were functionalized with ATP and Mg2+. The utilization of the antagonist of purine receptor, P2X7, revealed that this receptor has a major role in the osteogenesis process induced by Mg.ATP.CP&SMHA. Moreover, the results showed that cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation improved as nanofibers were under the influence of the electromagnetic field (EMF), displaying synergistic effects in the process of bone formation. Mg.ATP.CP&SMHA also showed an antibacterial effect against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Considering the high osteogenic potential and antibacterial activity of Mg.ATP.CP&SMHA nanofibers particularly in combination with EMF, it can serve as a great candidate for use in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is extensively used for implantable device coating; however, it lacks antibacterial property, leading to potential bacterial infection during orthopedic implantation surgery. Herein, to enhance the antibacterial activity of HA, a redox- and pH-responsive HA nanocomposite with photocatalytic activity was designed. A photosensitive heterostructure, zinc oxide/hydroxyapatite (ZnO.HA), was coated with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) with assisted gallic acid using the UV-irradiation method. An antibacterial enzyme, lysozyme, was then conjugated on the surface of the nanocomposite by a cleavable disulfide linker, resulting in a redox-sensitive nanoplatform. In comparison with bare HA, the designed nanocomposites as Lyso.CAGZ@HA displayed much higher antibacterial activity (> 5-fold) toward Escherichia coli (E. coli) owing to the synergistic antibacterial effects of ZnONPs, AgNPs, gallic acid, and lysozyme on the surface of the nanocomposite. However, antibacterial and antifouling effects are much more enhanced in Lyso.CAGZ@HA-treated bacteria as they were subjected to UVA irradiation. Moreover, the cellular uptake of nanocomposite and intracellular glutathione depletion enhanced in the presence of UVA light, resulting in reactive oxygen specious generation enhancement. Further, in vitro cytotoxicity experiments on mammalian cells (human foreskin fibroblast) revealed that nanocomposite has no cytotoxic effects. Hence, this study demonstrated that Lyso.CAGZ@HA could be considered as a potential therapeutic approach against bacterial infectious diseases.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most commonly diagnosed form of bone cancer. It is characterized by a high risk of developing lung metastasis as the disease progresses. Standard treatment includes combination of surgical intervention, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, the non-specificity of potent chemotherapeutic agents often leads to major side effects. In this review, we discuss the role of various classes of biomaterials, including both organic as well as inorganic in realizing the local and systemic delivery of therapeutic agents like drugs, radioisotopes and even gene silencing agents to treat osteosarcoma. Biomaterial assisted unconventional therapies such as targeted therapy, nanotherapy, magnetic hyperthermia, gene therapy, photothermal and photodynamic therapies are also being explored. A wide variety of biomaterials including lipids, carbon-based materials, polymers, silica, bioactive glass, hydroxyapatite and metals are designed as delivery systems with the desired loading efficiency, release profile, and on-demand delivery. Among others, liposomal carriers have attracted a great deal of attention due to their capability to encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. Polymeric systems have high drug loading efficiency and stability and can even be tailored to achieve desired size and physiochemical properties. Carbon-based systems can also be seen as an upcoming class of therapeutics with great potential in treating different types of cancer. Inorganic materials like silica nanoparticles have high drug payload owing to their mesoporous structure. On the other hand, ceramic materials like bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite not only act as excellent delivery vectors but also participate in osteo-regeneration activity. These multifunctional biomaterials are also being investigated for their theranostic abilities to monitor cancer ablation. This review systematically discusses the vast landscape of biomaterials along with their challenges and respective opportunities for osteosarcoma therapy.

Jalali F, Oveisi H, Meshkini A. Enhanced osteogenesis properties of titanium implant materials by highly uniform mesoporous thin films of hydroxyapatite and titania intermediate layer. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2020; 31:114. [PMID: 33247350 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-020-06450-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Titanium (Ti) has been widely used for medical and dental applications; however, bare Ti cannot be properly connected to a living bone, and hence some modifications are needed for this purpose. The present study describes the synthesis of mesoporous hydroxyapatite thin films (MHF) on titanium implant materials for speeding up and shortening the processes of osteointegration. The uniform MHF was coated on a Ti substrate following the insertion of intermediate titania (TiO2) film via the sol-gel dip-coating method. The intermediate titania layer improved the bonding strength between the MHF and Ti substrate. MHFs were synthesized using a precursor solution containing phosphoric acid, calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, and a nonionic surfactant (C12E10) as the phosphate source, calcium source, and structure-directing agent, respectively. The effect of calcination temperature on phase composition, morphology, microstructure, roughness, and wettability of the MHFs was investigated using XRD, FE-SEM, COM, AFM, and contact angle measurement. The XRD results revealed the crystalline hydroxyapatite phase, which was improved with an increase in the calcination temperature. Moreover, the FE-SEM images showed the crack-free MHFs, uniform thickness of the layer, and mesoporous surface morphology. In addition, it was found that the roughness and wettability of the samples change upon the alteration of calcination temperature. The biological studies demonstrated that MHFs support the adhesion and proliferation of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and guid them toward osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, the MHFs prepared in this study may be useful in a wide range of applications, particularly in bone regeneration medicine.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is one of the main biochemical components of the tumor microenvironment (TME), where it can promote tumor progression or tumor suppression depending on its concentration and on the specific ecto-nucleotidases and receptors expressed by immune and cancer cells. ATP can be released from cells via both specific and nonspecific pathways. A non-regulated release occurs from dying and damaged cells, whereas active release involves exocytotic granules, plasma membrane-derived microvesicles, specific ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and membrane channels (connexin hemichannels, pannexin 1 (PANX1), calcium homeostasis modulator 1 (CALHM1), volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) and maxi-anion channels (MACs)). Extracellular ATP acts at P2 purinergic receptors, among which P2X7R is a key mediator of the final ATP-dependent biological effects. Over the years, P2 receptor- or ecto-nucleotidase-targeting for cancer therapy has been proposed and actively investigated, while comparatively fewer studies have explored the suitability of TME ATP as a target. In this review, we briefly summarize the available evidence suggesting that TME ATP has a central role in determining tumor fate and is, therefore, a suitable target for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The recovery of impaired periodontium is still a challenge to the treatment of periodontitis. This study was the first to apply the mesoporous hydroxyapatites/chitosan (mHA/CS) composite scaffold to periodontal regeneration. The aim of our study is to evaluate the biological effects of mesoporous hydroxyapatite/chitosan (mHA/CS) loaded with recombinant human amelogenin (rhAm) on periodontal regeneration. The physicochemical properties of mHA/CS scaffolds were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. Then, the biological effects of the mHA/CS loaded with rhAm were evaluated, including antibacterial effect, controlled-release capacity, osteogenic and cementogenic effects in vitro and in vivo. The antibacterial effect was tested on 1.5 mg/mL CS; 3 mg/mL mHA; 2.25 mg/mL mHA/CS; 4.5 mg/mL mHA/CS and 20 μg/mL rhAm. Tryptic Soy Broth culture medium was used as a baseline control. Osteogenic effect of rhAm (20 μg/mL rhAm), mHA/CS (4.5 mg/mL mHA/CS), and mHA/CS-rhAm (4.5 mg/mL mHA/CS and 20 μg/mL rhAm) on human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) was evaluated in osteogenic media. The hPDLCs treated either with osteogenic media or Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) alone were used as the baseline control. In the animal model, 4-week-old nude mice (BALB/c) (n = 6) implanted with root slices subcutaneously were used to observe the cementogenic effect in vivo. The root slices were treated with rhAm (20 μg/mL rhAm), mHA/CS (4.5 mg/mL mHA/CS), and mHA/CS-rhAm (4.5 mg/mL mHA/CS and 20 μg/mL rhAm). The root slices treated with osteogenic medium alone were used as the baseline control. The analyses showed that the mHA/CS particles were 2 μm in diameter and had a uniform pore size. The mesoporous structure was 7 nm in diameter and its surface area was 33.95 m2/g. The scaffold exhibited antibacterial effects against Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis. The mHA/CS scaffold sustainably released rhAm. The mHA/CS loaded with 20 μg/mL rhAm upregulated ALP activity, the expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes and proteins in vitro. Additionally, it promoted the formation of cementum-like tissue in vivo. Our findings suggest that mHA/CS loaded with 20 μg/mL rhAm could inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogens and promote the formation of bone and cementum-like tissue.

Abstract
In the field of Nanomedicine, there is an increasing demand for new inorganic nanophosphors with low cytotoxicity and efficient loading-release ability of drugs for applications in bioimaging and drug delivery. This work assesses the potentiality of matured Eu-doped citrate-coated carbonated apatite nanoparticles to be used as theranostic platforms, for bioimaging, as luminescent nanoprobes, and for drug delivery applications, using Doxorubicin as a model drug. The drug adsorption isotherm fits the Langmuir-Freundlich (LF) model, showing that the Eu:cit-cAp nanoparticles can carry a maximum of 0.29 ± 0.02 mg Doxo mg Eu:cit-cAp-1 (Qmax). The affinity constant KFL for this binding is 44 ± 2 mL mg-1, and the cooperativity coefficient r is 6 ± 1. The nanoparticle suspensions presented charge reversion from negative to positive after loading with Doxo as revealed by the ζ-potential versus pH characterization. The release of drug from the loaded nanoparticles was found to be strongly pH-dependent, being around 5 wt % at physiological pH 7.4 and 20 wt % at pH 5, in experiments lasting 24 h. Luminescence spectroscopic measurements of Doxo-loaded nanoparticles revealed the increase of luminescence with a decrease in the amount of adsorbed Doxo, due to the so-called inner filter effect. The nanoparticles free of Doxo were cytocompatible when interacted with two human cell lines derived respectively from a gastric carcinoma (GTL-16), and a hepatocarcinoma (Huh7), while Doxo-loaded nanoparticles displayed significant toxicity in a dose-dependent relationship. Therefore, the new nanoassemblies might have a dual function, as nanoprobes in bioimaging by detecting the fate of the nanoparticles in biological environments, and for monitoring the delivery of the drug in such environments, by measuring the rise of the luminescence provided by the desorption of Doxo.

Abstract
Over the last few decades, chitosan has become a good candidate for tissue engineering applications. Derived from chitin, chitosan is a unique natural polysaccharide with outstanding properties in line with excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity. Due to the presence of free amine groups in its backbone chain, chitosan could be further chemically modified to possess additional functional properties useful for the development of different biomaterials in regenerative medicine. In the current review, we will highlight the progress made in the development of chitosan-containing bioscaffolds, such as gels, sponges, films, and fibers, and their possible applications in tissue repair and regeneration, as well as the use of chitosan as a component for drug delivery applications.
