Abstract
Current clinical treatment of periodontitis alleviates periodontal symptoms and helps to keep the disease under control for extended periods. Despite this, a significant destruction of the tooth's underlying bone tissue often takes place progressively. Herein, we present a two-way therapeutic approach for local delivery of antibacterial agents and bone tissue regeneration, incorporating ~1% w/w tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) into a 3D-printed scaffold composed of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). Samples were assessed for their morphological, physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and antibacterial properties. Furthermore, osteoprecursor cells (MC3T3-E1) were employed to evaluate the osteoinductive potential of the drug-loaded scaffolds. Cell proliferation, viability, and differentiation were determined on all cell-seeded scaffolds. At the end of the culture, PCL-TCH scaffolds promoted abundant collagen organic matrix, demonstrating augmented alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and areas of accumulated mineralised bone tissue, despite their belayed cell proliferation. Based on the observed effectiveness of the PCL-TCH scaffolds to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, these constructs could serve as an alternative bioactive implant that supports bacterial inhibition and favours a 3D microenvironment for bone tissue regeneration in severe periodontitis.

Abstract
Tetracyclines are a broad-spectrum class of antibiotics that have unclear actions with potentially lasting effects on bone metabolism. Initially isolated from Streptomyces, tetracycline proved to be an effective treatment for Gram +/- infections. The emergence of resistant bacterial strains commanded the development of later generation agents, including minocycline, doxycycline, tigecycline, sarecycline, omadacycline, and eravacycline. In 1957, it was realized that tetracyclines act as bone fluorochrome labels due to their high affinity for the bone mineral matrix. Over the course of the next decade, researchers discerned that these compounds are retained in the bone matrix at high levels after the termination of antibiotic therapy. Studies during this period provided evidence that tetracyclines could disrupt prenatal and early postnatal skeletal development. Currently, tetracyclines are most commonly prescribed as a long-term systemic therapy for the treatment of acne in healthy adolescents and young adults. Surprisingly, the impact of tetracyclines on physiologic bone modeling/remodeling is largely unknown. This article provides an overview of the pharmacology of tetracycline drugs, summarizes current knowledge about the impact of these agents on skeletal development and homeostasis, and reviews prior work targeting tetracyclines' effects on bone cell physiology. The need for future research to elucidate unclear effects of tetracyclines on the skeleton is addressed, including drug retention/release mechanisms from the bone matrix, signaling mechanisms at bone cells, the impact of newer third generation tetracycline antibiotics, and the role of the gut-bone axis.

Abstract
The repair of infected bone defects (IBDs) is still a great challenge in clinic. A successful treatment for IBDs should simultaneously resolve both infection control and bone defect repair. Hydrogels are water-swollen hydrophilic materials that maintain a distinct three-dimensional structure, helping load various antibacterial drugs and biomolecules. Hybrid hydrogels may potentially possess antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity. This review summarizes the recent progress of different kinds of antibacterial agents (including inorganic, organic, and natural) encapsulated in hydrogels. Several representative hydrogels of each category and their antibacterial mechanism and effect on bone repair are presented. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of antibacterial agent hybrid hydrogels are discussed. The challenge and future research directions are further prospected.

Abstract
Background Besides its antimicrobial action, doxycycline (DX) has lately been repurposed as a small-molecule drug for osteogenic purposes. However, osteogenic DX application is impeded by its dose-dependent cytotoxicity. Further, high-dose DX impairs cell differentiation and mineralization. Purpose Integrating DX into a biomaterial-based delivery system that can control its release would not only ameliorate its cytotoxic actions but also augment its osteogenic activity. In this work, we managed to engineer novel composite DX–hydroxyapatite–polycaprolactone nanoparticles (DX/HAp/PCL) to modify DX osteogenic potential. Methods Employing a 23-factorial design, we first optimized HApN for surface-area attributes to maximize DX loading. Composite DX/HAp/PCL were then realized using a simple emulsification technique, characterized using various in vitro methods, and evaluated for in vitro osteogenesis. Results The developed HApN exhibited a favorable crystalline structure, Ca:P elemental ratio (1.67), mesoporous nature, and large surface area. DX/HAp/PCL achieved the highest reported entrapment efficiency (94.77%±1.23%) of DX in PCL-based particles. The developed composite system achieved controlled release of the water-soluble DX over 24 days. Moreover, the novel composite nanosystem managed to significantly ameliorate DX cytotoxicity on bone-marrow stem cells, as well as enhance its overall proliferation potential. Alkaline phosphatase and mineralization assays revealed superior osteodifferentiation potential of the composite system. Quantification of gene expression demonstrated that while DX solution was able to drive bone-marrow stem cells down the osteogenic lineage into immature osteoblasts after 10-day culture, the innovative composite system allowed maturation of osteodifferentiated cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to elaborate the impact of DX on the expression of osteogenic genes: RUNX2, OSP, and BSP. Further, the osteogenicity of a DX-loaded particulate-delivery system has not been previously investigated. Conclusion Our findings indicate that repurposing low-dose DX in complementary biomaterial-based nanosystems can offer a prominent osteogenic candidate for bone-regeneration purposes.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HApN) are largely employed as osteogenic inorganic material. Inorganic/polymeric hybrid nanostructures can provide versatile bioactivity for superior osteogenicity, particularly as nanoparticles. Herein, we present hybrid biomaterial-based hydroxyapatite/polycaprolactone nanoparticles (HAp/PCL NPs) realized using simple preparation techniques to augment HApN osteogenicity. Using wet chemical precipitation, we optimized HApN crystalline properties utilizing a 23-factorial design. Optimized HApN exhibited typical Ca/P elemental ratio with high reaction yield. Surface area analysis revealed their mesoporous nature and high surface area. Hybrid HAp/PCL NPs prepared using direct emulsification-solvent evaporation maintained HApN crystallinity with no observed chemical interactions. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to elaborate the biocompatibility and osteogenicity of nanoparticulate hybrid HAp/PCL. Hybrid HAp/PCL NPs outperformed HApN regarding mesenchymal cell proliferation and osteodifferentiation with reduction of possible cytotoxicity. Unlike HApN, hybrid HAp/PCL NPs presented moderate expression of early osteogenic markers, Runx-2 and osteopontin and significantly elevated expression of the late osteogenic marker, bone sialoprotein after 10-day culture. Our results indicate that hybrid bioactive HAp/PCL NPs could offer a more prominent osteogenic potential than plain HApN for bone regenerative applications as a standalone nanoplatform or as part of complex engineered systems.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of anionic, cationic and neutral liposomes containing doxorubicin on the cellular viability and osteogenic differentiation of three-dimensional stem cell spheroids. Doxorubicin-loaded liposomes were prepared using the traditional thin-lipid-film-hydration method and were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and a zeta potential analyzer. The doxorubicin release profile from these liposomes was also analyzed in vitro. Three-dimensional cell spheroids were fabricated using silicon elastomer-based concave microwells. Qualitative results of cellular viability were observed using a confocal microscope and quantitative cellular viability was evaluated using a Cell-Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Furthermore, the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor was evaluated. Western blot analysis was performed to assess the expression of collagen I and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Results indicated that the spheroids were well formed in silicon elastomer-based concave microwells on day 1. In general, the shapes of the cells in the in the doxorubicin-loaded anionic, cationic and neutral liposome groups were similar to the control group except for the 10 µg/ml groups on days 3, 5, and 7. No significant changes in cellular viability were noted with the addition of doxorubicin at day 1 but significant decreases in cellular viability were noted with application of doxorubicin at day 5. Notably, higher concentrations of doxorubicin reduced the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor and stem cell marker expression. To conclude, the present study indicated that doxorubicin-loaded anionic liposomes produced the most sustained release profile and cationic liposomes produced the highest uptake of the stem cell spheroids. These findings suggested that higher concentrations of doxorubicin-loaded liposomes affected cellular viability, the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor and stem cell marker expression.

Abstract
Few studies have been reported that focus on developing implant surface nanofiber (NF) coating to prevent infection and enhance osseointegration by local drug release. In this study, coaxial doxycycline (Doxy)-doped polycaprolactone/polyvinyl alcohol (PCL/PVA) NFs were directly deposited on a titanium (Ti) implant surface during electrospinning. The interaction of loaded Doxy with both PVA and PCL NFs was characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The bonding strength of Doxy-doped NF coating on Ti implants was confirmed by a stand single-pass scratch test. The improved implant osseointegration by PCL/PVA NF coatings in vivo was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, histomorphometry and micro computed tomography (μCT) at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after implantation. The bone contact surface (%) changes of the NF coating group (80%) is significantly higher than that of the no NF group (<5%, p < 0.05). Finally, we demonstrated that a Doxy-doped NF coating effectively inhibited bacterial infection and enhanced osseointegration in an infected (Staphylococcus aureus) tibia implantation rat model. Doxy released from NF coating inhibited bacterial growth up to 8 weeks in vivo. The maximal push-in force of the Doxy-NF coating (38 N) is much higher than that of the NF coating group (6.5 N) 8 weeks after implantation (p < 0.05), which was further confirmed by quantitative histological analysis and μCT. These findings indicate that coaxial PCL/PVA NF coating doped with Doxy and/or other drugs have great potential in enhancing implant osseointegration and preventing infection.

Abstract
In the present work, we study the development and biological characterization of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based minocycline delivery system, to be used as a space maintainer within craniofacial staged regenerative interventions. The developed delivery systems were characterized regarding solid state characteristics and assayed in vitro for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity, and cytocompatibility with human bone cells. A drug release profile allowed for an initial burst release and a more sustained and controlled release over time, with minimum inhibitory concentrations for the assayed and relevant pathogenic bacteria (i.e., Staphylococcus aureus, slime-producer Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli) being easily attained in the early time points, and sustained up to 72 h. Furthermore, an improved osteoblastic cell response-with enhancement of cell adhesion and cell proliferation-and increased anti-inflammatory activity were verified in developed systems, compared to a control (non minocycline-loaded PMMA cement). The obtained results converge to support the possible efficacy of the developed PMMA-based minocycline delivery systems for the clinical management of complex craniofacial trauma. Here, biomaterials with space maintenance properties are necessary for the management of staged reconstructive approaches, thus minimizing the risk of peri-operative infections and enhancing the local tissue healing and early stages of regeneration.

Abstract
This study investigated the antimicrobial and osteogenic properties of titanium (Ti) disks superficially modified with tetracycline (TCH)-incorporated polymer nanofibers. The experiments were carried out in two phases. The first phase dealt with the synthesis and characterization (i.e., morphology, mechanical strength, drug release, antimicrobial activity, and cytocompatibility) of TCH-incorporated fibers. The second phase was dedicated to evaluating both the antimicrobial and murine-derived osteoprecursor cell (MC3T3-E1) response of Ti-modified with TCH-incorporated fibers. TCH was successfully incorporated into the submicron-sized and cytocompatible fibers. All TCH-incorporated mats presented significant antimicrobial activity against periodontal pathogens. The antimicrobial potential of the TCH-incorporated fibers-modified Ti was influenced by both the TCH concentration and bacteria tested. At days 5 and 7, a significant increase in MC3T3-E1 cell number was observed for TCH-incorporated nanofibers-modified Ti disks when compared to that of TCH-free nanofibers-modified Ti-disks and bare Ti. A significant increase in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels on the Ti disks modified with TCH-incorporated nanofiber on days 7 and 14 was seen, suggesting that the proposed surface promotes early osteogenic differentiation. Collectively, the data suggest that TCH-incorporated nanofibers could function as an antimicrobial surface modifier and osteogenic inducer for Ti dental implants. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The repair of infected bone defects is still challenging in the fields of orthopedics, oral implantology and maxillofacial surgery. In these cases, the self-healing capacity of bone tissue can be significantly compromised by the large size of bone defects and the potential/active bacterial activity. Infected bone defects are conventionally treated by a systemic/local administration of antibiotics to control infection and a subsequent implantation of bone grafts, such as autografts and allografts. However, these treatment options are time-consuming and usually yield less optimal efficacy. To approach these problems, novel biomaterials with both antibacterial and osteoinductive properties have been developed. The antibacterial property can be conferred by antibiotics and other novel antibacterial biomaterials, such as silver nanoparticles. Bone morphogenetic proteins are used to functionalize the biomaterials with a potent osteoinductive property. By manipulating the carrying modes and release kinetics, these biomaterials are optimized to maximize their antibacterial and osteoinductive functions with minimized cytotoxicity. The findings, in the past decade, have shown a very promising application potential of the novel biomaterials with the dual functions in treating infected bone defects. In this review, we will summarize the current knowledge of novel biomaterials with both antibacterial and osteoinductive properties.

Park JB. Combined effects of simvastatin and fibroblast growth factor-2 on the proliferation and differentiation of preosteoblasts. Biomed Rep 2014; 1:812-814. [PMID: 24649034 DOI: 10.3892/br.2013.137] [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: 06/26/2013] [Accepted: 07/12/2013] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Simvastatin reportedly promotes osteoblastic and inhibits osteoclastic activity. It increases bone formation when injected subcutaneously over the calvaria in mice. It also increases cancellous bone volume in rats following oral administration. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), a member of the FGF family, is expressed by cells of the osteoblastic lineage. FGF-2 promotes osteoblast proliferation and it is secreted during the healing process of fractures or at bone surgery sites. FGF-2 reportedly regulates bone formation and osteoblast differentiation. In this study, the combined effects of simvastatin and FGF-2 on the proliferation and differentiation of preosteoblasts were investigated and an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity test was performed to assess the differentiation. Moreover, the expression of proteins associated with bone formation were measured using western blot analysis. The results demonstrated that the protein content of the cultures grown in osteogenic differentiation media in the presence of FGF-2 at a concentration of 20 ng/ml was higher compared to that of the untreated control cultures. ALP activity was decreased when cells were treated with FGF-2 (2 and 20 ng/ml) and increased when cells were treated with simvastatin. The cultures grown in the presence of 1 μM of simvastatin and 2 ng/ml of FGF-2 exhibited increased ALP activity when compared to that in the 2 ng/ml FGF-2-only group. The combination of 1.0 μM simvastatin and 2 ng/ml FGF-2 achieved a higher estrogen receptor-α expression compared to the 2 ng/ml FGF-2-only group. Within the limits of this study, simvastatin enhanced osteoblast differentiation. However, the combined treatment with simvastatin and FGF-2 did not exert synergistic effects on osteoblast differentiation under the current experimental conditions. Future studies are required to evaluate divergent conditions and determine the selective timing and optimal dosage for the delivery of the agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to demonstrate a successful binding of Doxy hyclate onto a titanium zirconium alloy surface. METHODS The coating was done on titanium zirconium coins in a cathodic polarization setup. The surface binding was analyzed by SEM, SIMS, UV-vis, FTIR and XPS. The in vitro biological response was tested with MC3T3-E1 murine pre-osteoblast cells after 14 days of cultivation and analyzed in RT-PCR. A rabbit tibial model was also used to confirm its bioactivity in vivo after 4 and 8 weeks healing by means of microCT. RESULTS A mean of 141 μg/cm(2) of Doxy was found firmly attached and undamaged on the coin. Inclusion of Doxy was documented up to a depth of approximately 0.44 μm by tracing the (12)C carbon isotope. The bioactivity of the coating was documented by an in vitro study with murine osteoblasts, which showed significantly increased alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin gene expression levels after 14 days of cell culture along with low cytotoxicity. Doxy coated surfaces showed increased bone formation markers at 8 weeks of healing in a rabbit tibial model. SIGNIFICANCE The present work demonstrates a method of binding the broad spectrum antibiotic doxycycline (Doxy) to an implant surface to improve bone formation and reduce the risk of infection around the implant. We have demonstrated that TiZr implants with electrochemically bound Doxy promote bone formation markers in vitro and in vivo.
