A Comparative Study on Physicochemical Properties and In Vitro Biocompatibility of Sr-Substituted and Sr Ranelate-Loaded Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles. ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS 2023; 6:5264-5281. [PMID: 38039078 PMCID: PMC10731655 DOI: 10.1021/acsabm.3c00539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
Synthetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAp) possess compositional and structural similarities to those of bone minerals and play a key role in bone regenerative medicine. Functionalization of calcium phosphate biomaterials with Sr, i.e., bone extracellular matrix trace element, has been proven to be an effective biomaterial-based strategy for promoting osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Functionalizing nHAp with Sr2+ ions or strontium ranelate (SrRAN) can provide favorable bone tissue regeneration by locally delivering bioactive molecules to the bone defect microenvironment. Moreover, administering an antiosteoporotic drug, SrRAN, directly into site-specific bone defects could significantly reduce the necessary drug dosage and the risk of possible side effects. Our study evaluated the impact of the Sr source (Sr2+ ions and SrRAN) used to functionalize nHAp by wet precipitation on its in vitro cellular activities. The systematic comparison of physicochemical properties, in vitro Sr2+ and Ca2+ ion release, and their effect on in vitro cellular activities of the developed Sr-functionalized nHAp was performed. The ion release tests in TRIS-HCl demonstrated a 21-day slow and continuous release of the Sr2+ and Ca2+ ions from both Sr-substituted nHAp and SrRAN-loaded HAp. Also, SrRAN and Sr2+ ion release kinetics were evaluated in DMEM to understand their correlation with in vitro cellular effects in the same time frame. Relatively low concentration (up to 2 wt %) of Sr in the nHAp led to an increase in the alkaline phosphatase activity in preosteoblasts and expression of collagen I and osteocalcin in osteoblasts, demonstrating their ability to boost bone formation.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering has attracted great interest in the last few years, as the frequency of tissue-damaging or degenerative diseases has increased exponentially. To obtain an ideal treatment solution, researchers have focused on the development of optimum biomaterials to be applied for the enhancement of bioactivity and the regeneration process, which are necessary to support the proper healing process of osseous tissues. In this regard, hydroxyapatite (HA) has been the most widely used material in the biomedical field due to its great biocompatibility and similarity with the native apatite from the human bone. However, HA still presents some deficiencies related to its mechanical properties, which are essential for HA to be applied in load-bearing applications. Bioactivity is another vital property of HA and is necessary to further improve regeneration and antibacterial activity. These drawbacks can be solved by doping the material with trace elements, adapting the properties of the material, and, finally, sustaining bone regeneration without the occurrence of implant failure. Considering these aspects, in this review, we have presented some general information about HA properties, synthesis methods, applications, and the necessity for the addition of doping ions into its structure. Also, we have presented their influence on the properties of HA, as well as the latest applications of doped materials in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Currently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an attractive additive for bone repair materials. PRP could enhance the osteoconductive and osteoinductive of bone cement, as well as modulate the degradation rate of calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH). The focus of this study was to investigate the effect of different PRP ratios (P1: 20 vol%, P2: 40 vol%, and P3: 60 vol%) on the chemical properties and biological activity of bone cement. The injectability and compressive strength of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control. On the other hand, the addition of PRP decreased the crystal size of CSH and prolonged the degradation time. More importantly, the cell proliferation of L929 and MC3T3-E1 cells was promoted. Furthermore, qRT-PCR, alizarin red staining, and western blot analyses showed that the expressions of osteocalcin (OCN) and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) genes and β-catenin protein were up-regulated, and mineralization of extracellular matrix was enhanced. Overall, this study provided insight into how to improve the biological activity of bone cement through PRP incorporation.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:27564-27581. [PMID: 36276043 PMCID: PMC9516373 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra03622c] [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: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was used for the coating on titanium (Ti) substrate with a composite of hydroxyapatite (HA)-chitosan (CS) in the presence of dispersing agents such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and triethanolamine (TEA). The materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The addition of PVB, PEG, and TEA agents improved the development of Ti coating during the EPD process. These additives increased the suspension stability and promoted the formation of uniform and compact HA/CS nanocomposite coatings on Ti substrates. The electrochemical polarization tests (e.g., potentiodynamic test) of the substrate with and without coating were investigated. Data analysis showed high corrosion resistance of Ti substrate coated with the HA/CS NP composite. The corrosion potentials displayed a shift toward positive values indicating the increase in the corrosion resistance of Ti after coating. In addition to measuring calcium ion release at various pH values and contact times at a biological pH value of 5.5, the stabilities of Ti substrates coated with HA/CS and different dispersing agents were also evaluated. Ti substrates with high anticorrosion properties may have a new potential application in biomedicine. Electrophoretic deposition was used for coating of titanium substrate with a composite of hydroxyapatite (HA)-chitosan (CS) in the presence of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and triethanolamine (TEA).![]()
