Biocompatible MgFeCO 3 Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) for Bone Regeneration-Low-Temperature Processing through Cold Sintering and Freeze-Casting. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:734. [PMID: 37370665 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10060734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) are inorganic compounds of relevance to various domains, where their surface reactivity and/or intercalation capacities can be advantageously exploited for the retention/release of ionic and molecular species. In this study, we have explored specifically the applicability in the field of bone regeneration of one LDH composition, denoted "MgFeCO3", of which components are already present in vivo, so as to convey a biocompatibility character. The propensity to be used as a bone substitute depends, however, on their ability to allow the fabrication of 3D constructs able to be implanted in bone sites. In this work, we display two appealing approaches for the processing of MgFeCO3 LDH particles to prepare (i) porous 3D scaffolds by freeze-casting, involving an alginate biopolymeric matrix, and (ii) pure MgFeCO3 LDH monoliths by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) at low temperature. We then explored the capacity of such LDH particles or monoliths to interact quantitatively with molecular moieties/drugs in view of their local release. The experimental data were complemented by computational chemistry calculations (Monte Carlo) to examine in more detail the mineral-organic interactions at play. Finally, preliminary in vitro tests on osteoblastic MG63 cells confirmed the high biocompatible character of this LDH composition. It was confirmed that (i) thermodynamically metastable LDH could be successfully consolidated into a monolith through SPS, (ii) the LDH particles could be incorporated into a polymer matrix through freeze casting, and (iii) the LDH in the consolidated monolith could incorporate and release drug molecules in a controlled manner. In other words, our results indicate that the MgFeCO3 LDH (pyroaurite structure) may be seen as a new promising compound for the setup of bone substitute biomaterials with tailorable drug delivery capacity, including for personalized medicine.

Freeze-Drying Process for the Fabrication of Collagen-Based Sponges as Medical Devices in Biomedical Engineering. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:4425. [PMID: 37374608 DOI: 10.3390/ma16124425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
This paper presents a systematic review of a key sector of the much promising and rapidly evolving field of biomedical engineering, specifically on the fabrication of three-dimensional open, porous collagen-based medical devices, using the prominent freeze-drying process. Collagen and its derivatives are the most popular biopolymers in this field, as they constitute the main components of the extracellular matrix, and therefore exhibit desirable properties, such as biocompatibility and biodegradability, for in vivo applications. For this reason, freeze-dried collagen-based sponges with a wide variety of attributes can be produced and have already led to a wide range of successful commercial medical devices, chiefly for dental, orthopedic, hemostatic, and neuronal applications. However, collagen sponges display some vulnerabilities in other key properties, such as low mechanical strength and poor control of their internal architecture, and therefore many studies focus on the settlement of these defects, either by tampering with the steps of the freeze-drying process or by combining collagen with other additives. Furthermore, freeze drying is still considered a high-cost and time-consuming process that is often used in a non-optimized manner. By applying an interdisciplinary approach and combining advances in other technological fields, such as in statistical analysis, implementing the Design of Experiments, and Artificial Intelligence, the opportunity arises to further evolve this process in a sustainable and strategic manner, and optimize the resulting products as well as create new opportunities in this field.

Abstract
Recent trends in bone tissue engineering have focused on the development of biomimetic constructs with appropriate mechanical and physiochemical properties. Here, we report the fabrication of an innovative biomaterial scaffold based on a new bisphosphonate-containing synthetic polymer combined with gelatin. To this end, zoledronate (ZA)-functionalized polycaprolactone (PCL-ZA) was synthesized by a chemical grafting reaction. After adding gelatin to the PCL-ZA polymer solution, the porous PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold was fabricated by the freeze-casting method. A scaffold with aligned pores and a porosity of 82.04 % was obtained. During in vitro biodegradability test, 49 % of its initial weight lost after 5 weeks. The elastic modulus of the PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold was 31.4 MPa, and its tensile strength was 4.2 MPa. Based on the results of MTT assay, the scaffold had good cytocompatibility with human Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hADMSCs). Furthermore, cells grown in PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold showed the highest mineralization and ALP activity compared to other test groups. Results of the RT-PCR test revealed that RUNX2, COL 1A1, and OCN genes were expressed in PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold at the highest level, suggesting its good osteoinductive capacity. These results revealed that PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold could be considered a proper biomimetic platform for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Biomimetic apatites exhibit a high reactivity allowing ion substitutions to modulate their in vivo response. We developed a novel approach combining several bioactive ions in a spatially controlled way in view of subsequent releases to address the sequence of events occurring after implantation, including potential microorganisms' colonization. Innovative micron-sized core-shell particles were designed with an external shell enriched with an antibacterial ion and an internal core substituted with a pro-angiogenic or osteogenic ion. After developing the proof of concept, two ions were particularly considered, Ag+ in the outer shell and Cu2+ in the inner core. In vitro evaluations confirmed the cytocompatibility through Ag-/Cu-substituting and the antibacterial properties provided by Ag+. Then, these multifunctional "smart" particles were embedded in a polymeric matrix by freeze-casting to prepare 3D porous scaffolds for bone engineering. This approach envisions the development of a new generation of scaffolds with tailored sequential properties for optimal bone regeneration.

Safe-by-Design Antibacterial Peroxide-Substituted Biomimetic Apatites: Proof of Concept in Tropical Dentistry. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13030144.

Abstract
Bone infections are a key health challenge with dramatic consequences for affected patients. In dentistry, periodontitis is a medically compromised condition for efficient dental care and bone grafting, the success of which depends on whether the surgical site is infected or not. Present treatments involve antibiotics associated with massive bacterial resistance effects, urging for the development of alternative antibacterial strategies. In this work, we established a safe-by-design bone substitute approach by combining bone-like apatite to peroxide ions close to natural in vivo oxygenated species aimed at fighting pathogens. In parallel, bone-like apatites doped with Ag+ or co-doped Ag+/peroxide were also prepared for comparative purposes. The compounds were thoroughly characterized by chemical titrations, FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX analyses. All doped apatites demonstrated significant antibacterial properties toward four major pathogenic bacteria involved in periodontitis and bone infection, namely Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans), Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum), and S. aureus. By way of complementary tests to assess protein adsorption, osteoblast cell adhesion, viability and IC50 values, the samples were also shown to be highly biocompatible. In particular, peroxidated apatite was the safest material tested, with the lowest IC50 value toward osteoblast cells. We then demonstrated the possibility to associate such doped apatites with two biocompatible polymers, namely gelatin and poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid PLGA, to prepare, respectively, composite 2D membranes and 3D scaffolds. The spatial distribution of the apatite particles and polymers was scrutinized by SEM and µCT analyses, and their relevance to the field of bone regeneration was underlined. Such bio-inspired antibacterial apatite compounds, whether pure or associated with (bio)polymers are thus promising candidates in dentistry and orthopedics while providing an alternative to antibiotherapy.

Abstract
Synthetic and natural biomaterials are a promising alternative for the treatment of critical-sized bone defects. Several parameters such as their porosity, surface, and mechanical properties are extensively pointed out as key points to recapitulate the bone microenvironment. Many biomaterials with this pursuit are employed to provide a matrix, which can supply the specific environment and architecture for an adequate bone growth. Nevertheless, some queries remain unanswered. This review discusses the recent advances achieved by some synthetic and natural biomaterials to mimic the native structure of bone and the manufacturing technology applied to obtain biomaterial candidates. The focus of this review is placed in the recent advances in the development of biomaterial-based therapy for bone defects in different types of bone. In this context, this review gives an overview of the potentialities of synthetic and natural biomaterials: polyurethanes, polyesters, hyaluronic acid, collagen, titanium, and silica as successful candidates for the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To systematically present and interpret the current literature on research and treatment perspectives for mandibular osteoradionecrosis (mORN) in the field of biomaterials. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review of the literature using the "Synthesis without meta-analysis" (SWiM) methodology was performed on PubMed, Embase and Cochrane, focusing on the implantation of synthetic biomaterials for bone reconstruction in mORN in humans and/or animal models. The primary endpoints were the composition, efficacy on mORN and tolerance of the implanted synthetic biomaterials. RESULTS Forty-seven references were obtained and evaluated in full-text by two assessors. Ten (8 in humans and 2 in animal models) met the eligibility criteria and were included for analysis. Materials most often comprised support plates or metal mesh (5 of 10 cases) in combination with grafts or synthetic materials (phosphocalcic ceramics, glutaraldehyde). Other ceramic/polymer composites were also implanted. In half of the selected reports, active compounds (molecules, growth factors, lysates) and/or cells were associated with the reconstruction material. The number of articles referring to implantation of biomaterials for the treatment of mORN was small, and the properties of the implanted biomaterials were generally poorly described, thus limiting a thorough understanding of their role. CONCLUSION In preventing the morbidity associated with some reconstructive surgeries, basic research has benefitted from recent advances in tissue engineering and biomaterials to repair limited bone loss.

Abstract
This study aimed to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) bioactive Sr2+ -substituted apatite (Sr-HAP) scaffolds prepared by gel-casting with polymer sponge infiltration technique. 3D Sr-HAP scaffolds were prepared as engineering constructs with interconnected porous structure with a pore size of 200-600 μm ranging from a 10 × 10 × 6 mm size was designed. The characterization of X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersion spectroscopy was utilized in order to evaluate the crystalline phase, structure, and morphology in the interconnected porous of the synthesized Sr-HAP scaffold. The bioactive and biocompatible of the resultant Sr-HAP scaffolds were analyzed by using simulated body fluid solution. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity and proliferation of MG-63 cell lines on the scaffolds were examined in 24 h culture. Furthermore, in vivo experiments demonstrated that the tibia bone defect with 4 mm diameter in rabbits was successfully healed by Sr-HAP porous scaffold after 45 days implantation. The histological images indicated the improved cell proliferation and new bone formation occurred in the porous scaffold treated group. The results indicated that the fabricated Sr-HAP scaffold is a promising capacity to infuse bone regeneration and promote in vivo tissue repair.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, retinoic acid loaded-PLGA-gelatin matrixes were prepared with both freeze-casting and freeze-drying techniques. Herein, the effect of unidirectional microstructure with tunable pores on release profile, cellular adhesion, migration, and differentiation was compared. Morphological observation determined that highly interconnected porous structure can be formed, but lamellar pore channels were observed in freeze-casting prepared constructs. The absorption ratio was increased, and the biodegradation rate was decreased as a function of the orientation of microstructure. The in-vitro release study illustrated non-Fickian release mechanism in both methods, so that erosion has predominated over diffusion. Accordingly, PLGA-gelatin scaffolds prepared with freeze-drying technique showed no adequate erosion due to the rigid structure, while freeze-casting one presented more favorable erosion. Microscopic observations of adhered P19 embryonic cells on the scaffolds showed that the freeze-casting matrixes with unidirectional pores provide a more compatible microenvironment for cell attachments and spreading. Besides, it facilitated cell migration and penetration inside the structure and may act as guidance for neuron growth. Improvement in the expression of neural genes in unidirectionally oriented pores proved the decisive role of contact guidance for nerve healing. It seems that the freeze-cast PLGA-gelatin-retinoic acid scaffolds have initial features for nerve tissue regeneration studies.

Nanocomposite scaffolds composed of Apacite (apatite-calcite) nanostructures, poly (ε-caprolactone) and poly (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate): The effect of nanostructures on physico-mechanical properties and osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 117:111271. [PMID: 32919635 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 07/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Nanocomposite scaffolds were fabricated from poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL), Poly (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (PHEMA), and Apacite (Apatite-calcite) nanostructures (15 and 25 wt%). The nanoscale structure, physical and chemical properties, mechanical properties, hydrophilic behavior, degradability and osteogenic properties of the fabricated scaffolds were evaluated. The results showed that the mechanical strength, degradation, wetting ability, and mechanical strength of PCL-PHEMA scaffolds significantly increases upon inclusion of Apacite nanoparticles up to 25 wt%. Accordingly, the best mechanical values (E ~ 7.109 MPa and σ ~ 0.414 MPa) and highest degradability (32% within 96 h) were recorded for PCL-PHEMA scaffolds containing 25 wt% of Apacite. Furthermore, highest porosity and roughness were observed in the PCL-PHEMA/25% Apacite as a result of the Apacite nanoparticles inclusion. There was no cytotoxicity recorded for the fabricated scaffolds based on the results obtained from MTT assay and acridine orange staining. Alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium content quantification, Van Kossa staining, FESEM and real time PCR tests confirmed the biomineralization, and the differentiation potential of the nanocomposite scaffolds. Overall, the 3D structure, optimum porosity and balanced dissolution rate of PCL-PHEMA/25% Apacite providing a balanced microenvironment resulted in improved cell adhesion, cell behavior, and replication, as well as osteogenic induction of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs).

Abstract
In this study, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-gelatin scaffolds were fabricated using the freeze-casting technique. Polydopamine (PDA) coating was applied on the surface of scaffolds to enhance the hydrophilicity, bioactivity, and cellular behavior of the composite constructs. Further, the synergistic effect of PDA coating and lamellar microstructure of scaffolds was evaluated on the promotion of properties. Based on morphological observations, freeze-casting constructs showed lamellar pore channels while the uniformity and pore size were slightly affected by deposition of PDA. The hydrophilicity and swelling capacity of the scaffolds were assessed using contact angle measurement and phosphate buffered saline absorption ratio. The results indicated a significant increment in water-matrix interactions following surface modification. The evaluation of the biodegradation ratio revealed the higher degree of degradation in PDA-coated samples owing to the presence of hydrophilic functional groups in the chemical structure of PDA. On the other hand, the bioactivity potential of PDA in the simulated body fluid solution confirmed the possibility of using coated constructs as a bone reconstructive substitute. The improvement of cellular attachment and filopodia formation in PDA-contained matrixes was the other benefit of the coating process. Furthermore, cellular proliferation and ALP activity were enhanced after PDA coating. The suggested PDA-coated PLGA-gelatin scaffolds can be applied in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Background Delayed bone regeneration of fractures in osteoporosis patients or of critical-size bone defects after tumor resection are a major medical and socio-economic challenge. Therefore, the development of more effective and osteoinductive biomaterials is crucial. Methods We examined the osteogenic potential of macroporous scaffolds with varying pore sizes after biofunctionalization with a collagen/high-sulfated hyaluronan (sHA3) coating in vitro. The three-dimensional scaffolds were made up from a biodegradable three-armed lactic acid-based macromer (TriLA) by cross-polymerization. Templating with solid lipid particles that melt during fabrication generates a continuous pore network. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) cultivated on the functionalized scaffolds in vitro were investigated for cell viability, production of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bone matrix formation. Statistical analysis was performed using student’s t-test or two-way ANOVA. Results We succeeded in generating scaffolds that feature a significantly higher average pore size and a broader distribution of individual pore sizes (HiPo) by modifying composition and relative amount of lipid particles, macromer concentration and temperature for cross-polymerization during scaffold fabrication. Overall porosity was retained, while the scaffolds showed a 25% decrease in compressive modulus compared to the initial TriLA scaffolds with a lower pore size (LoPo). These HiPo scaffolds were more readily coated as shown by higher amounts of immobilized collagen (+ 44%) and sHA3 (+ 25%) compared to LoPo scaffolds. In vitro, culture of hMSCs on collagen and/or sHA3-coated HiPo scaffolds demonstrated unaltered cell viability. Furthermore, the production of ALP, an early marker of osteogenesis (+ 3-fold), and formation of new bone matrix (+ 2.5-fold) was enhanced by the functionalization with sHA3 of both scaffold types. Nevertheless, effects were more pronounced on HiPo scaffolds about 112%. Conclusion In summary, we showed that the improvement of scaffold pore sizes enhanced the coating efficiency with collagen and sHA3, which had a significant positive effect on bone formation markers, underlining the promise of using this material approach for in vivo studies.

Abstract
Chitosan hybridized with titanium dioxide nanoparticles improves its bone regeneration capability. Nano titanium dioxide addition to the matrix of chitosan sponges was done successfully, as depicted from an even distribution of nano titanium dioxide on the surface of the sponges. Chitosan – nanoTiO2 scaffold results in significantly improved sponge robustness, biomineralization, and bone regeneration capability, as indicated by DMP1 and OCN gene upregulation in chitosan-50% nanoTiO2 sample.
Chitosan has been a popular option for tissue engineering, however exhibits limited function for bone regeneration due to its low mechanical robustness and non-osteogenic inductivity. Here we hybridized chitosan with TiO2 nanoparticles to improve its bone regeneration capability. Morphology and crystallographic analysis showed that TiO2 nanoparticles in anatase-type were distributed evenly on the surface of the chitosan sponges. Degradation test showed a significant effect of TiO2 nanoparticles addition in retaining its integrity. Biomineralization assay using simulated body fluid showed apatite formation in sponges surface as denoted by PO4− band observed in FTIR results. qPCR analysis supported chitosan - TiO2 sponges in bone regeneration capability as indicated by DMP1 and OCN gene upregulation in TiO2 treated group. Finally, cytotoxicity analysis supported the fact that TiO2 nanoparticles added sponges were proved to be biocompatible. Results suggest that chitosan-50% TiO2 nanoparticles sponges could be a potential novel scaffold for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The reconstruction of bone defects by guiding autologous bone tissue regeneration with artificial biomaterials is a potential strategy in the area of bone tissue engineering. The development of new polymers with good biocompatibility, favorable mechanical properties, and osteoinductivity is of vital importance. Graphene and its derivatives have attracted extensive interests due to the exceptional physiochemical and biological properties of graphene. In this study, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) films incorporated by graphene nanoplates were fabricated. The results indicated that the incorporation of proper graphene nanoplates into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) film could enhance the adhesion and proliferation of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). The augmentation of alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium mineral deposition, and the expression level of osteogenic-related genes of rBMSCs on the composite films were observed. Moreover, the incorporation of graphene might activate the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway, which appeared to be the mechanism behind the osteoinductive properties of graphene. Moreover, the in vivo furcation defect implantation results revealed better guiding bone regeneration properties in the graphene-incorporated group. Thus, we highlight this graphene-incorporated film as a promising platform for the growth and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs that can achieve application in bone regeneration.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to obtain and evaluate the properties of polymeric coatings based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) embedded with magnetite nanoparticles functionalized with commercial antimicrobial drugs. In this respect, we firstly synthesized the iron oxide particles functionalized (@) with the antibiotic Cefepime (Fe₃O₄@CEF). In terms of composition and microstructure, the as-obtained powdery sample was investigated by means of grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM, respectively). Crystalline and nanosized particles (~5 nm mean particle size) with spherical morphology, consisting in magnetite core and coated with a uniform and reduced amount of antibiotic shell, were thus obtained. In vivo biodistribution studies revealed the obtained nanoparticles have a very low affinity for innate immune-related vital organs. Composite uniform and thin coatings based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and antibiotic-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles (PLGA/Fe₃O₄@CEF) were subsequently obtained by using the matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique. Relevant compositional and structural features regarding the composite coatings were obtained by performing infrared microscopy (IRM) and SEM investigations. The efficiency of the biocompatible composite coatings against biofilm development was assessed for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens. The PLGA/Fe₃O₄@CEF materials proved significant and sustained anti-biofilm activity against staphylococcal and Escherichia coli colonisation.

Abstract
Bead-on-string mats based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) releasing β-carotene (βC) as a natural osteogen were fabricated and used for bone tissue engineering. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded on the scaffolds successfully differentiated to osteoblasts without using any a differential medium. The mats showed a small burst of β-carotene (24-27%) during the first day and a sustained slow release up to 21 days. The MTT and SEM results indicated good attachment and proliferation of MSCs on the scaffolds. Calcination of scaffolds and expression of RUNX2, SOX9, and osteonectin genes approved the differentiation of seeded MSCs to osteoblasts without using any external osteogenic differential agent. The scaffold loaded with 4% β-carotene not only induced the early phase of osteogenesis but also advanced the differentiation to the osteoblast maturation phase. Thus, these bead-on-string scaffolds can be used as a substrate for direct bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) is one of the most versatile biomedical polymers, already approved by regulatory authorities to be used in human research and clinics. Due to its valuable characteristics, PLGA can be tailored to acquire desirable features for control bioactive payload or scaffold matrix. Moreover, its chemical modification with other polymers or bioconjugation with molecules may render PLGA with functional properties that make it the Holy Grail among the synthetic polymers to be applied in the biomedical field. In this review, the physical-chemical properties of PLGA, its synthesis, degradation, and conjugation with other polymers or molecules are revised in detail, as well as its applications in drug delivery and regeneration fields. A particular focus is given to successful examples of products already on the market or at the late stages of trials, reinforcing the potential of this polymer in the biomedical field.
