Electrical stimulation therapy and rotary jet-spinning scaffold to treat bone defects. Anat Rec (Hoboken) 2023; 306:79-91.

Abstract
The combination of electrical stimulation (ES) and bone tissue engineering (BTE) has been successful in treatments of bone regeneration. This study evaluated the effects of ES combined with PCL + β-TCP 5% scaffolds obtained by rotary jet spinning (RJS) in the regeneration of bone defects in the calvaria of Wistar rats. We used 120 animals with induced bone defects divided into 4 groups (n = 30): (C) without treatment; (S) with PCL+ β-TCP 5% scaffold; (ES) treated with ES (10 μA/5 min); (ES + S) with PCL + β-TCP 5% scaffold. The ES occurred twice a week during the entire experimental period. Cell viability (in vitro: Days 3 and 7) and histomorphometric, histochemical, and immunohistochemical (in vivo; Days 30, 60, and 90) analysis were performed. In vitro, ES + S increased cell viability after Day 7 of incubation. In vivo, it was observed modulation of inflammatory cells in ES therapy, which also promoted blood vessels proliferation, and increase of collagen. Moreover, ES therapy played a role in osteogenesis by decreasing ligand kappa B nuclear factor-TNFSF11 (RANKL), increasing alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and decreasing the tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase. The combination of ES with RJS scaffolds may be a promising strategy for bone defects regeneration, since the therapy controlled inflammation, favored blood vessels proliferation, and osteogenesis, which are important processes in bone remodeling.

Electrical therapies act on the Ca 2+ /CaM signaling pathway to enhance bone regeneration with bioactive glass [S53P4] and allogeneic grafts. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2021; 109:2104-2116.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the application of low-intensity electrostimulation (ES) and electromagnetic stimulation (EM) associated with bioactive glass (BG) or allogeneic grafts (BB) in bone regeneration. A cell viability test on osteoblasts (UMR-106) was performed in the presence of BB and BG grafts associated with ES (10 μA/5 min) and EM (500 Hz/2 min). Critical defects (25 mm2 ) in calvaria were generated in male Wistar rats, and bone regeneration was evaluated on the 30th, 60th, and 120th days after surgery. Cell proliferation increased with the application of ES in both grafts and after EM with BG. Bone remodeling was more effective using the allogeneic graft in both therapies, with increased angiogenesis, osteoblast proliferation, and OPN expression in the BB + EM group. A higher number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and an increase in bone sialoprotein, Runx-2, and Opn gene expression were found in the BB + ES group. The BG graft associated with EM therapy had an increased proliferation of osteoblasts and increased expression of Runx-2 and Opn. Groups that had BG and ES therapy had increased numbers of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and increased OPN expression. The expression of voltage-gated calcium channels increased in groups with ES, while calmodulin expression increased in therapies without grafting. ES and EM therapies favored the repair of bone defects upon grafting by improving angiogenesis, osteogenic gene expression, and tissue reorganization. Despite activating different pathways, both therapies increased the intracellular concentrations of calmodulin, leading to cell proliferation and bone regeneration.
