Bioactive Glasses Modulate Anticancer Activity and Other Polyphenol-Related Properties of Polyphenol-Loaded PCL/Bioactive Glass Composites. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:24261-24273. [PMID: 38709741 PMCID: PMC11103658 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c02418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
In this work, bioactive glass (BG) particles obtained by three different methods (melt-quenching, sol-gel, and sol-gel-EISA) were used as modifiers of polyphenol-loaded PCL-based composites. The composites were loaded with polyphenolic compounds (PPh) extracted from sage (Salvia officinalis L.). It was hypothesized that BG particles, due to their different textural properties (porosity, surface area) and surface chemistry (content of silanol groups), would act as an agent to control the release of polyphenols from PCL/BG composite films and other significant properties associated with and affected by the presence of PPh. The polyphenols improved the hydrophilicity, apatite-forming ability, and mechanical properties of the composites and provided antioxidant and anticancer activity. As the BG particles had different polyphenol-binding capacities, they modulated the kinetics of polyphenol release from the composites and the aforementioned properties to a great extent. Importantly, the PPh-loaded materials exhibited multifaceted and selective anticancer activity, including ROS-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of osteosarcoma (OS) cells (Saos-2) via Cdk2-, GADD45G-, and caspase-3/7-dependent pathways. The materials showed a cytotoxic and antiproliferative effect on cancerous osteoblasts but not on normal human osteoblasts. These results suggest that the composites have great potential as biomaterials for treating bone defects, particularly following surgical removal of OS tumors.

Abstract
Degradable polymers (both biomacromolecules and several synthetic polymers) for biomedical applications have been promising very much in the recent past due to their low cost, biocompatibility, flexibility, and minimal side effects. Here, we present an overview with updated information on natural and synthetic degradable polymers where a brief account on different polysaccharides, proteins, and synthetic polymers viz. polyesters/polyamino acids/polyanhydrides/polyphosphazenes/polyurethanes relevant to biomedical applications has been provided. The various approaches for the transformation of these polymers by physical/chemical means viz. cross-linking, as polyblends, nanocomposites/hybrid composites, interpenetrating complexes, interpolymer/polyion complexes, functionalization, polymer conjugates, and block and graft copolymers, are described. The degradation mechanism, drug loading profiles, and toxicological aspects of polymeric nanoparticles formed are also defined. Biomedical applications of these degradable polymer-based biomaterials in and as wound dressing/healing, biosensors, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, etc., are highlighted. In addition, the use of such nano systems to solve current drug delivery problems is briefly reviewed.

Assessment of 3D-Printed Polycaprolactone, Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles and Diacrylate Poly(ethylene glycol) Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14122643. [PMID: 36559137 PMCID: PMC9782524 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14122643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Notwithstanding the advances achieved in the last decades in the field of synthetic bone substitutes, the development of biodegradable 3D-printed scaffolds with ideal mechanical and biological properties remains an unattained challenge. In the present work, a new approach to produce synthetic bone grafts that mimic complex bone structure is explored. For the first time, three scaffolds of various composition, namely polycaprolactone (PCL), PCL/hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANp) and PCL/HANp/diacrylate poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGDA), were manufactured by extrusion. Following the production and characterisation of the scaffolds, an in vitro evaluation was carried out using human dental pulp stem/stromal cells (hDPSCs). Through the findings, it was possible to conclude that, in all groups, the scaffolds were successfully produced presenting networks of interconnected channels, adequate porosity for migration and proliferation of osteoblasts (approximately 50%). Furthermore, according to the in vitro analysis, all groups were considered non-cytotoxic in contact with the cells. Nevertheless, the group with PEGDA revealed hydrophilic properties (15.15° ± 4.06) and adequate mechanical performance (10.41 MPa ± 0.934) and demonstrated significantly higher cell viability than the other groups analysed. The scaffolds with PEGDA suggested an increase in cell adhesion and proliferation, thus are more appropriate for bone regeneration. To conclude, findings in this study demonstrated that PCL, HANp and PEGDA scaffolds may have promising effects on bone regeneration and might open new insights for 3D tissue substitutes.

Abstract
Organ-on-chips (OOCs) are microfluidic devices used for creating physiological organ biomimetic systems. OOC technology brings numerous advantages in the current landscape of preclinical models, capable of recapitulating the multicellular assemblage, tissue-tissue interaction, and replicating numerous human pathologies. Moreover, in cancer research, OOCs emulate the 3D hierarchical complexity of in vivo tumors and mimic the tumor microenvironment, being a practical cost-efficient solution for tumor-growth investigation and anticancer drug screening. OOCs are compact and easy-to-use microphysiological functional units that recapitulate the native function and the mechanical strain that the cells experience in the human bodies, allowing the development of a wide range of applications such as disease modeling or even the development of diagnostic devices. In this context, the current work aims to review the scientific literature in the field of microfluidic devices designed for urology applications in terms of OOC fabrication (principles of manufacture and materials used), development of kidney-on-chip models for drug-toxicity screening and kidney tumors modeling, bladder-on-chip models for urinary tract infections and bladder cancer modeling and prostate-on-chip models for prostate cancer modeling.

Abstract
We have fabricated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) films with flat and honeycomb-patterned (HCP) structures to coat polyaniline (PANI) on the film surface. In addition, the effect of chemical modification of PANI by sulfuric acid (H2SO4) was also studied for antibacterial activity. The flat and HCP PCL films were obtained by simple evaporation of the solvent and via the breath figure (BF) method, respectively. The morphology and chemical composition of PANI coated on the film surface were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) were obtained to identify the PANI coating. The wettability and conductivity of the films were also measured. Applicational aspects were evaluated by assessing antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The EDX, TGA, and FT-IR findings indicated chemical modification of PCL film by PANI and H2SO4. The conductivity of the films was increased by the coating of PANI to the patterned surface and additionally increased by the chemically modified PANI. The antibacterial activity was 69.79%, 78.27%, and 88% against E. coli, and 32.73%, 62.65%, and 87.97% against S. aureus, for flat PANI, HCP PANI, and H2SO4-treated HCP films, respectively. Likewise, the PANI coated flat, HCP, and H2SO4-treated HCP films inhibited E. coli biofilm formation by around 41.62%, 63%, and 83.88% and S. aureus biofilm formation by 17.81%, 69.83%, and 96.57%, respectively. The antibacterial activity of the HCP film was higher than that of flat PANI films, probably due to the higher coating of PANI on the HCP surface. Moreover, sulfonation of the HCP film with H2SO4 might have improved the wettability, thereby enhancing the antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. Our results showed that topographical changes, as well as doping, offer simple and cost-effective ways to modify the structural and functional properties of films.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have evolved into a different concept, the so-called clinical tissue engineering. Within this context, the synthesis of next-generation inorganic-organic hybrid constructs without the use of chemical crosslinkers emerges with a great potential for treating bone defects. Here, we propose a sophisticated approach for synthesizing cost-effective boron (B)- and silicon (Si)-incorporated collagen/hair keratin (B-Si-Col-HK) cryogels with the help of sol-gel reactions. In this approach, collagen and hair keratin were engaged with a B-Si network using tetraethyl orthosilicate as a silica precursor, and the obtained cryogels were characterized in depth with attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, solid-state NMR, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, porosity and swelling tests, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda analyses, frequency sweep and temperature-dependent rheology, contact angle analysis, micromechanical tests, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis. In addition, the cell survival and osteogenic features of the cryogels were evaluated by the MTS test, live/dead assay, immuno/histochemistry, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses. We conclude that the B-Si-networked Col-HK cryogels having good mechanical durability and osteoinductive features would have the potential bone formation capability.

Abstract
In this work, polymeric and bioactive glass (BG)-modified composite films were successfully loaded with polyphenols (PPh) extracted from sage. It was hypothesized that PPh, alone and in combination with BGs particles, would affect physicochemical and biological properties of the films. Furthermore, sol-gel-derived BG particles would serve as an agent for control the release of the polyphenolic compounds, and other important properties related to the presence of PPh. The results showed that polyphenolic compounds significantly modified numerous material properties and also acted as biologically active substances. On the one hand, PPh can be considered as plasticizers for PCL, on the other hand, they can act as coupling agent in composite materials, improving their mechanical performance. The presence of PPh in materials improved their hydrophilicity and apatite-forming ability, and also provided antioxidant activity. What is important is that the aforementioned properties and kinetics of PPh release can be modulated by the use of various concentrations of PPh, and by the modification of PCL matrix with sol-gel-derived BG particles, capable of binding PPh. The films containing the lowest concentration of PPh exhibited cytocompatibility, significantly increased alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression of bone extracellular matrix proteins (osteocalcin and osteopontin) in human normal osteoblasts, while they reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species production in macrophages. Furthermore, materials loaded with PPh showed antibiofilm properties against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The results suggest that obtained materials represent potential multifunctional biomaterials for bone tissue engineering with a wide range of tunable properties.

Abstract
Barium titanate (BaTiO3) has been used as a bone implant material because of its piezoelectric properties and the ability to promote cell growth when combined with hydroxyapatite. However, the brittleness of BaTiO3 inhibits its use as a bone replacement material at load-bearing sites, and the reduction of BaTiO3 content in the composite reduces its piezoelectric effect on bone growth. In this study, we explored a preparation method, which included directional freeze casting and self-solidification of bone cement, to obtain 1-3-type BaTiO3/PMMA bio-piezoelectric composites with a lamellar structure. The lamellar BaTiO3 layer through the composite from the bottom to the top significantly improved the piezoelectric properties of the composite. In addition, the dendritic ceramic bridges on the BaTiO3 pore walls can improve the compressive strength and elastic modulus of BaTiO3/PMMA bio-piezoelectric composites with a lamellar structure. More importantly, it was found that polarized lamellar BaTiO3 could induce osteoblasts to grow in the direction of the BaTiO3 layers. When the width of the BaTiO3 layer was in the range of 8-21 μm, osteoblasts along the BaTiO3 layer showed well growth, which can be of great value for the production of biomimetic bone units.

Abstract
Biomaterials and tissue engineering scaffolds play a central role to repair bone defects. Although ceramic derivatives have been historically used to repair bone, hybrid materials have emerged as viable alternatives. The rationale for hybrid bone biomaterials is to recapitulate the native bone composition to which these materials are intended to replace. In addition to the mechanical and dimensional stability, bone repair scaffolds are needed to provide suitable microenvironments for cells. Therefore, scaffolds serve more than a mere structural template suggesting a need for better and interactive biomaterials. In this review article, we aim to provide a summary of the current materials used in bone tissue engineering. Due to the ever-increasing scientific publications on this topic, this review cannot be exhaustive; however, we attempted to provide readers with the latest advance without being redundant. Furthermore, every attempt is made to ensure that seminal works and significant research findings are included, with minimal bias. After a concise review of crystalline calcium phosphates and non-crystalline bioactive glasses, the remaining sections of the manuscript are focused on organic-inorganic hybrid materials.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL) has attracted great attention for bone regeneration attributed to its cost-efficiency, high toughness, and good processability. However, the relatively low elastic modulus, hydrophobic nature, and insufficient bioactivity of pure PCL limited its wider application for bone regeneration. In the present study, the effects of the addition of boron containing bioactive glass (B-BG) materials on the mechanical properties and biological performance of PCL polymer were investigated with different B-BG contents (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt.%), in order to evaluate the potential applications of B-BG/PCL composites for bone regeneration. The results showed that the B-BG/PCL composites possess better tensile strength, human neutral pH value, and fast degradation as compared to pure PCL polymers. Moreover, the incorporation of B-BG could enhance proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenic factor expression for rat bone marrow stromal cells (rBMSCs) as compared to pure PCL polymers. Importantly, the B-BG also promoted the angiogenic differentiation for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). These enhanced effects had a concentration dependence of B-BG content, while 30 wt.% B-BG/PCL composites achieved the greatest stimulatory effect. Therefore the 30 wt.% B-BG/PCL composites have potential applications in bone reconstruction fields.

Abstract
The application of various materials in biomedical procedures has recently experienced rapid growth. One area that is currently receiving significant attention from the scientific community is the treatment of a number of different types of bone-related diseases and disorders by using biodegradable polymer-ceramic composites. Biomaterials, the most common materials used to repair or replace damaged parts of the human body, can be categorized into three major groups: metals, ceramics, and polymers. Composites can be manufactured by combining two or more materials to achieve enhanced biocompatibility and biomechanical properties for specific applications. Biomaterials must display suitable properties for their applications, about strength, durability, and biological influence. Metals and their alloys such as titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt-based alloys have been widely investigated for implant-device applications because of their excellent mechanical properties. However, these materials may also manifest biological issues such as toxicity, poor tissue adhesion and stress shielding effect due to their high elastic modulus. To mitigate these issues, hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings have been used on metals because their chemical composition is similar to that of bone and teeth. Recently, a wide range of synthetic polymers such as poly (l-lactic acid) and poly (l-lactide-co-glycolide) have been studied for different biomedical applications, owing to their promising biocompatibility and biodegradability. This article gives an overview of synthetic polymer-ceramic composites with a particular emphasis on calcium phosphate group and their potential applications in tissue engineering. It is hoped that synthetic polymer-ceramic composites such as PLLA/HA and PCL/HA will provide advantages such as eliminating the stress shielding effect and the consequent need for revision surgery.

Abstract
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a bioresorbable synthetic polyester widely studied as a biomaterial for tissue engineering and controlled release applications, but its low bioactivity and weak mechanical performance limits its applications. In this work, nanosized bioglasses with two different compositions (SiO2–CaO and SiO2–CaO–P2O5) were synthesized with a hydrothermal method, and each one was used as filler in the preparation of PCL nanocomposites via the in situ ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone. The effect of the addition of 0.5, 1 and 2.5 wt % of the nanofillers on the molecular weight, structural, mechanical and thermal properties of the polymer nanocomposites, as well as on their enzymatic hydrolysis rate, bioactivity and biocompatibility was systematically investigated. All nanocomposites exhibited higher molecular weight values in comparison with neat PCL, and mechanical properties were enhanced for the 0.5 and 1 wt % filler content, which was attributed to extensive interactions between the filler and the matrix, proving the superiority of in situ polymerization over solution mixing and melt compounding. Both bioglasses accelerated the enzymatic degradation of PCL and induced bioactivity, since apatite was formed on the surface of the nanocomposites after soaking in simulated body fluid. Finally, all samples were biocompatible as Wharton jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) attached and proliferated on their surfaces.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymers have met with an increasing demand in medical usage over the last decades. One of such polymers is poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), which is a polyester that has been widely used in tissue engineering field for its availability, relatively inexpensive price and suitability for modification. Its chemical and biological properties, physicochemical state, degradability and mechanical strength can be adjusted, and therefore, it can be used under harsh mechanical, physical and chemical conditions without significant loss of its properties. Degradation time of PCL is quite long, thus it is used mainly in the replacement of hard tissues in the body where healing also takes an extended period of time. It is also used at load-bearing tissues of the body by enhancing its stiffness. However, due to its tailorability, use of PCL is not restricted to one type of tissue and it can be extended to engineering of soft tissues by decreasing its molecular weight and degradation time. This review outlines the basic properties of PCL, its composites, blends and copolymers. We report on various techniques for the production of different forms, and provide examples of medical applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery systems covering the studies performed in the last decades.

Abstract
Here, a new technology was developed to selectively produce areas of high and low surface Young's modulus on biomedical polymer films using micropatterns. First, an elastic polymer film was adhered to a striped micropattern to fabricate a micropattern-supported film. Next, the topography and Young's modulus of the film surface were mapped using atomic force microscopy. Contrasts between the concave and convex locations of the stripe pattern were obvious in the Young's modulus map, although the topographical map of the film surface appeared almost flat. The concave and convex locations of a polymer film supported by a different micropattern also contrasted clearly. The resulting Young's modulus map showed that the Young's modulus was higher at convex locations than at concave locations. Hence, regions of high and low stiffness can be locally generated based on the shape of the micropattern supporting the film. When cells were cultured on the micropattern-supported films, NIH3T3 fibroblasts preferentially accumulated in convex regions with high Young's moduli. These findings demonstrate that this new technology can regulate regions of high and low surface Young's modulus on a cellular scaffold with high planar resolution, as well as providing a method for directing cellular patterning. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
One of the critical challenges that scaffolding faces in the organ and tissue regeneration field lies in mimicking the structure, and the chemical and biological properties of natural tissue. A high-level control over the architecture, mechanical properties and composition of the materials in contact with cells is essential to overcome such challenge. Therefore, definition of the method, materials and parameters for the production of scaffolds during the fabrication stage is critical. With the recent emergence of rapid prototyping (RP), it is now possible to create three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with the essential characteristics for the proliferation and regeneration of tissues, such as porosity, mechanical strength, pore size and pore interconnectivity, and biocompatibility. In this study, we employed 3D bioplotting, a RP technology, to fabricate scaffolds made from (i) pure polycaprolactone (PCL) and (ii) a composite based on PCL and ceramic micro-powder. The ceramics used for the composite were bovine bone filling Nukbone® (NKB), and hydroxyapatite (HA) with 5%, 10% or 20% wt. CONTENT The scaffolds were fabricated in a cellular lattice structure (i.e. meshing mode) using a 0/90° lay down pattern with a continuous contour filament in order to achieve interconnected porous reticular structures. We varied the temperature, as well as injection speed and pressure during the bioplotting process to achieve scaffolds with pore size ranging between 200 and 400μm and adequate mechanical stability. The resulting scaffolds had an average pore size of 323μm and an average porosity of 32%. Characterization through ATR-FTIR revealed the presence of the characteristic bands of hydroxyapatite in the PCL matrix, and presented an increase of the intensity of the phosphate and carbonyl bands as the ceramic content increased. The bioplotted 3D scaffolds have a Young's modulus (E) in the range between 0.121 and 0.171GPa, which is compatible with the modulus of natural bone. PCL/NKB scaffolds, particularly 10NKBP (10% NKB wt.) exhibited the highest proliferation optical density, demonstrating an evident osteoconductive effect when cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed osteoblast anchorage to all composite scaffolds, but a low adhesion to the all-PCL scaffold, as well as cell proliferation. The results from this study demonstrate the potential of PCL/NKB 3D bioplotted scaffolds as viable platforms to enable osseous tissue formation, which can be used in several tissue engineering applications, including improvement of bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The focus in the field of biomedical engineering has shifted in recent years to biodegradable polymers and, in particular, polyesters. Dozens of polyester-based medical devices are commercially available, and every year more are introduced to the market. The mechanical performance and wide range of biodegradation properties of this class of polymers allow for high degrees of selectivity for targeted clinical applications. Recent research endeavors to expand the application of polymers have been driven by a need to target the general hydrophobic nature of polyesters and their limited cell motif sites. This review provides a comprehensive investigation into advanced strategies to modify polyesters and their clinical potential for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
A novel poly[([Formula: see text]-CL)-co-(GA-alt-L-Asp)] with improved hydrophilicity was prepared. The monomer 3(S)-[(benzyloxycarbony)methyl]-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione (BMD) was prepared from aspartic acid. The polymer was obtained by ring-opening polymerization of [Formula: see text]-caprolactone ([Formula: see text]-CL) and BMD. Poly[([Formula: see text]-CL)-co-(GA-alt-L-Asp)] was synthesized by deprotection. The structure and properties of the polymer were characterized using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, gel permeation chromatography, and differential scanning calorimetry. The melting point and melting enthalpy of the polymer decreased with the increase of BMD. The structural regularity of polycaprolactone was destroyed by the BMD. A laminin-derived peptide [i.e., Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)] was covalently tethered to the carboxyl groups and the peptide-grafted films. Results indicated that the addition of RGD had beneficial effects for cell growth, as shown by scanning electron microscopy.
