Abstract
OBJECTIVES Combining a three-dimensional scaffold with growth factors before implantation is one method used to increase scaffold bioactivity in bone tissue engineering. The mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-conditioned medium (CM), called secretome, contains many proteins and growth factors required for tissue repair and growth. This study evaluated the bioactivity of a bovine bone scaffold combined with the secretome of human umbilical cord MSCs (hUC-MSCs) by analyzing MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion and viability on the scaffold. MATERIALS AND METHODS This in vitro laboratory study evaluated the effect of hUC-MSC secretome applied to bovine bone scaffolds processed using various techniques on MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion and viability. The three experimental groups included deproteinized bovine bone mineral-secretome (DBBM-CM), freeze-dried bovine bone-secretome (FDBB-CM), and decellularized FDBB-CM, whereas the control group was treated with DBBM alone. The cell adhesion test was performed using the centrifugation method after 6 and 24 hours, whereas the cell viability test was conducted using the trypan blue exclusion method after 24, 48, and 72 hours. Cell attachment was visualized after 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining and viewed under inverted fluorescence microscopy. STASTICAL ANALYSIS Statistical analyses were performed using one-way analysis of variance, followed by a post hoc test in cases of significant differences. RESULTS Statistical analyses showed significantly greater adhesion of the preosteoblasts to the FDBB-CM scaffold at 6 hours (p = 0.002). The results of the adhesion test at 24 hours and the viability tests at all observation times showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). This study found that the average MC3T3-E1 cell adhesions and viabilities were highest for the FDBB-CM and DBBM-CM scaffolds. DBBM scaffolds with the secretome had better cell adhesion and viability than those without the secretome. CONCLUSION The addition of MSC secretome increased bovine bone scaffold bioactivity especially in DBBM and FDBB scaffolds.

Abstract
A rotator cuff tendon tear is a common shoulder injury with a relatively high rate of recurrence after surgical repair. In order to reinforce the repair and reduce the risk of clinical complications, a patch scaffold is typically sutured over the tendon tear to provide post-surgical mechanical support. However, despite considerable research effort in this area, a patch scaffold that provides both superior initial mechanical properties and supports cell proliferation at the same time has not yet been achieved. In this study, we engineered a collagen/poly(lactic acid) (COL/PLA) hybrid yarn to leverage mechanical strength of PLA yarn and the bioactivity of collagen. The COL/PLA yarns were used to fabricate a tissue engineering scaffold using textile weaving technology. This hybrid scaffold had a tensile strength of 354.0 ± 36.0 N under dry conditions and 267.2 ± 15.9 N under wet conditions, which was satisfactory to maintain normal tendon function. By introducing COL yarns into the hybrid scaffold, the proliferation of tendon-derived cells was significantly improved on the scaffold. Cell coverage after 28-days of in vitro cell culture was noticeably higher on the COL yarns compared to the PLA yarns as a result of a larger number of cells and more spread cell morphology on collagen. Cells spread in multiple directions on COL yarns, which resembled a more natural cell attachment on extracellular matrix. On the contrary, the cells attached to the PLA filaments presented an elongated morphology along the fiber's axial direction. Combining the mechanical robustness of PLA and the biological activity of collagen, the woven COL/PLA hybrid scaffold has shown its potential to be a promising candidate for tendon repair applications.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BMSC) may facilitate bone repair through secretion of factors that stimulate endogenous repair processes or through direct contribution to new bone through differentiation into osteoblast-like cells. BMSC microtissue culture and differentiation has been widely explored recently, with high-throughput platforms making large-scale manufacture of microtissues increasingly feasible. Bone-like BMSC microtissues could offer an elegant method to enhance bone repair, especially in small-volume non-union defects, where small diameter microtissues could be delivered orthoscopically. Using a high-throughput microwell platform, our data demonstrate that (1) BMSC in 3D microtissue culture result in tissue compaction, rather than growth, (2) not all mineralised bone-like matrix is incorporated in the bulk microtissue mass and (3) a significant amount of lipid vacuole formation is observed in BMSC microtissues exposed to BMP-2. These factors should be considered when optimising BMSC osteogenesis in microtissues or developing BMSC microtissue-based therapeutic delivery processes.

Abstract
This study presents the development of an efficient procedure for covalently immobilizing collagen molecules on AVS-functionalized Ti-6Al-4V samples, and the assessment of the survival and proliferation of cells cultured on these substrates. Activated Vapor Silanization (AVS) is a versatile functionalization technique that allows obtaining a high density of active amine groups on the surface. A procedure is presented to covalently bind collagen to the functional layer using EDC/NHS as cross-linker. The covalently bound collagen proteins are characterized by fluorescence microscopy and atomic force microscopy and their stability is tested. The effect of the cross-linker concentration on the process is assessed. The concentration of the cross-linker is optimized and a reliable cleaning protocol is developed for the removal of the excess of carbodiimide from the samples. The results demonstrate that the covalent immobilization of collagen type I on Ti-6Al-4V substrates, using the optimized protocol, increases the number of viable cells present on the material. Consequently, AVS in combination with the carbodiimide chemistry appears as a robust method for the immobilization of proteins and, for the first time, it is shown that it can be used to enhance the biological response to the material.

Abstract
The design of 3D constructs with adequate properties to instruct and guide cells both in vitro and in vivo is one of the major focuses of tissue engineering. Successful tissue regeneration depends on the favorable crosstalk between the supporting structure, the cells and the host tissue so that a balanced matrix production and degradation are achieved. Herein, the major occurring events and players in normal and regenerative tissue are overviewed. These have been inspiring the selection or synthesis of instructive cues to include into the 3D constructs. We further highlight the importance of a multiscale perception of the range of features that can be included on the biomimetic structures. Lastly, we focus on the current and developing tissue-engineering approaches for the preparation of such 3D constructs: top-down, bottom-up and integrative. Bottom-up and integrative approaches present a higher potential for the design of tissue engineering devices with multiscale features and higher biochemical control than top-down strategies, and are the main focus of this review.

Abstract
The paper presents results of physico-chemical and biological investigations of a surface-engineered synthetic bone filler. Surface analysis confirms that the ceramic phosphate granules present a collagen nanolayer to the surrounding environment. Cell cultures tests show that, in agreement with literature reports, surface-immobilized collagen molecular cues can stimulate progression along the osteogenic pathway of undifferentiated human mesenchymal cells. Finally, in vivo test in a rabbit model of critical bone defects shows statistically significant increase of bone volume and mineral apposition rate between the biomimetic bone filler and collagen-free control. All together, obtained data confirm that biomolecular surface engineering can upgrade the properties of implant device, by promoting more specific and targeted implant-host cells interactions.

Abstract
The area of implant osseointegration is of major importance, given the predicted significant rise in the number of orthopaedic procedures and an increasingly ageing population. Osseointegration is a complex process involving a number of distinct mechanisms affected by the implant bulk properties and surface characteristics. Our understanding and ability to modify these mechanisms through alterations in implant design is continuously expanding. The following review considers the main aspects of material and surface alterations in metal implants, and the extent of their subsequent influence on osseointegration. Clinically, osseointegration results in asymptomatic stable durable fixation of orthopaedic implants. The complexity of achieving this outcome through incorporation and balance of contributory factors is highlighted through a clinical case report.

Abstract
Coatings of orthopedic implants are investigated to improve the osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties of the implant surfaces and thus to enhance periimplant bone formation. By applying coatings that mimic the extracellular matrix a favorable environment for osteoblasts, osteoclasts and their progenitor cells is provided to promote early and strong fixation of implants. It is known that the early bone ongrowth increases primary implant fixation and reduces the risk of implant failure. This review presents an overview of coating titanium and hydroxyapatite implants with components of the extracellular matrix like collagen type I, chondroitin sulfate and RGD peptide in different small and large animal models. The influence of these components on cells, the inflammation process, new bone formation and bone/implant contact is summarized.

Abstract
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have great potential due to their proliferation and differentiation capability. The objectives of this study were to generate iPSC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iPSC-MSCs), and investigate iPSC-MSC proliferati on and osteogenic differentiation on calcium phosphate cement (CPC) containing biofunctional agents for the first time. Human iPSCs were derived from marrow CD34+ cells which were reprogrammed by a single episomal vector. iPSCs were cultured to form embryoid bodies (EBs), and MSCs migrated out of EBs. Five biofunctional agents were incorporated into CPC: RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptides, fibronectin (Fn), fibronectin-like engineered polymer protein (FEPP), extracellular matrix Geltrex, and platelet concentrate. iPSC-MSCs were seeded on five biofunctionalized CPCs: CPC-RGD, CPC-Fn, CPC-FEPP, CPC-Geltrex, and CPC-Platelets. iPSC-MSCs on biofunctional CPCs had enhanced proliferation, actin fiber expression, osteogenic differentiation and mineralization, compared to control. Cell proliferation was greatly increased on biofunctional CPCs. iPSC-MSCs underwent osteogenic differentiation with increased alkaline phosphatase, Runx2 and collagen-I expressions. Mineral synthesis by iPSC-MSCs on CPC-Platelets was 3-fold that of CPC control. In conclusion, iPSCs showed high potential for bone engineering. iPSC-MSCs on biofunctionalized CPCs had cell proliferation and bone mineralization that were much better than traditional CPC. iPSC-MSC-CPC constructs are promising to promote bone regeneration in craniofacial/orthopedic repairs.

Abstract
The use of a porous coating on prosthetic components to encourage bone ingrowth is an important way of improving uncemented implant fixation. Enhanced fixation may be achieved by the use of porous magneto-active layers on the surface of prosthetic implants, which would deform elastically on application of a magnetic field, generating internal stresses within the in-growing bone. This approach requires a ferromagnetic material able to support osteoblast attachment, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization. In this study, the human osteoblast responses to ferromagnetic 444 stainless steel networks were considered alongside those to nonmagnetic 316L (medical grade) stainless steel networks. While both networks had similar porosities, 444 networks were made from coarser fibers, resulting in larger inter-fiber spaces. The networks were analyzed for cell morphology, distribution, proliferation, and differentiation, extracellular matrix production and the formation of mineralized nodules. Cell culture was performed in both the presence of osteogenic supplements, to encourage cell differentiation, and in their absence. It was found that fiber size affected osteoblast morphology, cytoskeleton organization and proliferation at the early stages of culture. The larger inter-fiber spaces in the 444 networks resulted in better spatial distribution of the extracellular matrix. The addition of osteogenic supplements enhanced cell differentiation and reduced cell proliferation thereby preventing the differences in proliferation observed in the absence of osteogenic supplements. The results demonstrated that 444 networks elicited favorable responses from human osteoblasts, and thus show potential for use as magnetically active porous coatings for advanced bone implant applications.

Abstract
Multilayer films of biopolymers are attractive tools to exploit the extraordinary properties of certain biomacromolecules and introduce new functionalities to surfaces. Mucins, the gel-forming constituents of mucus, are versatile glycoproteins that have potential as new building blocks for biomaterial surface coatings. Multilayer films have mostly been assembled through the electrostatic pairing of polyelectrolytes, which results in limited pH and salt stability and screens charges otherwise available for useful payload binding. Here, we aim at assembling mucin multilayer films that differ from conventional paired polyelectrolyte assemblies to obtain highly stable and functional surface modifications. Using the lectin wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) to cross-link mucin-bound sugar residues, we show that (Mucin/WGA) films can grow into hydrated films and sustain exceptional resistance to extreme salt conditions and a large range of pH. Furthermore, we show that the addition of soluble N-acetyl-d-glucosamine can induce the controlled release of WGA from (Mucin/WGA) films. Last, we show that (Mucin/WGA) films can repeatedly incorporate and release a positively charged model cargo. The lubricating, hydration, barrier, and antimicrobial properties of mucins open multiple applicative perspectives for these highly stable mucin-based multilayer films.

Cell-surface interactions play a crucial role for biomaterial application in orthopaedics. It is evident that not only the chemical composition of solid substances influence cellular adherence, migration, proliferation and differentiation but also the surface topography of a biomaterial. The progressive application of nanostructured surfaces in medicine has gained increasing interest to improve the cytocompatibility and osteointegration of orthopaedic implants. Therefore, the understanding of cell-surface interactions is of major interest for these substances. In this review, we elucidate the principle mechanisms of nano- and microscale cell-surface interactions in vitro for different cell types onto typical orthopaedic biomaterials such as titanium (Ti), cobalt-chrome-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloys, stainless steel (SS), as well as synthetic polymers (UHMWPE, XLPE, PEEK, PLLA). In addition, effects of nano- and microscaled particles and their significance in orthopaedics were reviewed. The significance for the cytocompatibility of nanobiomaterials is discussed critically.

Calcium phosphate cement with biofunctional agents and stem cell seeding for dental and craniofacial bone repair. Dent Mater 2012; 28:1059-70. [PMID: 22809583 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2012.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2012] [Revised: 05/14/2012] [Accepted: 06/25/2012] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) can be injected to harden in situ and is promising for dental and craniofacial applications. However, human stem cell attachment to CPC is relatively poor. The objectives of this study were to incorporate biofunctional agents into CPC, and to investigate human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUCMSC) seeding on biofunctionalized CPC for osteogenic differentiation for the first time. METHODS Five types of biofunctional agents were used: RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptides, human fibronectin (Fn), fibronectin-like engineered polymer protein (FEPP), extracellular matrix Geltrex, and human platelet concentrate. Five biofunctionalized CPC scaffolds were fabricated: CPC-RGD, CPC-Fn, CPC-FEPP, CPC-Geltrex, and CPC-Platelets. The hUCMSC attachment, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and mineral synthesis were measured. RESULTS The hUCMSCs on biofunctionalized CPCs had much better cell attachment, proliferation, actin fiber expression, osteogenic differentiation and mineral synthesis, compared to the traditional CPC control. Cell proliferation was increased by an order of magnitude via incorporation of biofunctional agents in CPC (p<0.05). Mineral synthesis on biofunctionalized CPCs was 3-5 folds of those of control (p<0.05). hUCMSCs differentiated with high alkaline phosphatase, Runx2, osteocalcin, and collagen I gene expressions. Mechanical properties of biofunctionalized CPC matched the reported strength and elastic modulus of cancellous bone. SIGNIFICANCE A new class of biofunctionalized CPCs was developed, including CPC-RGD, CPC-Fn, CPC-FEPP, CPC-Geltrex, and CPC-Platelets. hUCMSCs on biofunctionalized CPCs had cell density, cell proliferation, actin fiber density, and bone mineralization that were dramatically better than those on traditional CPC. Novel biofunctionalized CPC scaffolds with greatly enhanced human stem cell proliferation and differentiation are promising to facilitate bone regeneration in a wide range of dental, craniofacial and orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Joint replacements should be firmly anchored in vital bone to avoid early implant subsidence and late aseptic loosening. We investigated whether the fixation of orthopedic implants could be improved by adding an osteoinductive extract of lyophilized equine bone matrix proteins (Colloss E, Ossacur AG, Germany), between the implant and the surrounding bone. Eighteen uncemented HA-coated implants were inserted pairwise in the proximal tibia of nine dogs. All implants were surrounded by a 2 mm concentric defect. In each dog, the intervention implant was added 20 mg protein lyophilisate. The contralateral control implant was inserted untreated. After four weeks, the treated HA-coated implants had better mechanical fixation than the untreated control implants. The treated implants were better osseointegrated, there was more newly formed bone around these implants, and fibrous tissue was eliminated. The mechanical implant fixation had a strong positive correlation to new bone formation on and around the implant, and a strong negative correlation to fibrous tissue encapsulation. The results suggest that bone protein extracts such as the Colloss E device may augment early implant fixation of even HA-coated Ti implants and thereby reduce the risk of long-term failure. This may be particularly useful in revision arthroplasty with bone loss.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study is to determine whether certain biomaterials have the potential to support cell attachment. After seeding bone marrow stromal cells onto the biomaterials, we investigated their responses to each material in vitro. Methods Rat bone marrow derived stromal cells were used. The biomaterials were deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM), DBBM coated with fibronectin (FN), synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA), HA coated with FN, HA coated with β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and pure β-TCP. With confocal laser scanning microscopy, actin filaments and vinculin were observed after 6, 12, and 24 hours of cell seeding. The morphological features of cells on each biomaterial were observed using scanning electron microscopy at day 1 and 7. Results The cells on HA/FN and HA spread widely and showed better defined actin cytoskeletons than those on the other biomaterials. At the initial phase, FN seemed to have a favorable effect on cell adhesion. In DBBM, very few cells adhered to the surface. Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, we can conclude that in contrast with DBBM not supporting cell attachment, HA provided a more favorable environment with respect to cell attachment.

Abstract
Biomaterials not only serve as scaffolds for bone regeneration, but may also exhibit inductive capability for bone growth. The goal of this study was to identify the best extracellular matrix protein for enhancing osteogenesis by hMSCs (human mesenchymal stem cells) and to investigate the underlying mechanism. Coating with collagen I, but not fibronectin, laminin, gelatin, and poly-L-lysine, enhanced late cell proliferation and promoted osteogenesis by hMSCs, as evidenced by an increase in Alizarin Red S staining, alkaline phosphatase activity and mRNA levels of Runx2 and osteocalcin. Coating with collagen I induced activation of ERK and Akt but not FAK, and treatment with PD98059 and LY294002 blocked the activation of ERK and Akt, respectively. Interestingly, LY294002 also blocked ERK activation, indicating the activation of PI3K/ERK pathway upon contact with collagen I. Furthermore, PD98059 or LY294002 abolished collagen I-induced promotion of osteogenesis by hMSCs. However, blocking antibodies against alpha2beta1 integrins did not inhibit collagen I-induced osteogenesis by hMSCs. These data demonstrate that collagen I promotes proliferation and osteogenesis of hMSCs via activation of ERK and Akt pathways.

Abstract
Collagen and fibronectin (FN) are two abundant and essential components of the vertebrate extracellular matrix; they interact directly with cellular receptors and affect cell adhesion and migration. Past studies identified a FN fragment comprising six modules, 6FnI1–2FnII7–9FnI, and termed the gelatin binding domain (GBD) as responsible for collagen interaction. Recently, we showed that the GBD binds tightly to a specific site within type I collagen and determined the structure of domains 8–9FnI in complex with a peptide from that site. Here, we present the crystallographic structure of domains 6FnI1–2FnII7FnI, which form a compact, globular unit through interdomain interactions. Analysis of NMR titrations with single-stranded collagen peptides reveals a dominant collagen interaction surface on domains 2FnII and 7FnI; a similar surface appears involved in interactions with triple-helical peptides. Models of the complete GBD, based on the new structure and the 8–9FnI·collagen complex show a continuous putative collagen binding surface. We explore the implications of this model using long collagen peptides and discuss our findings in the context of FN interactions with collagen fibrils.

Abstract
The ability to engineer biomaterial surfaces that are capable of a dynamic interaction with cells and tissues is central to the development of medical implants with improved functionality. An important consideration in this regard is the role played by the extracellular proteins that bind to an implant surface in vivo. Deliberate use of an ad-layer of such proteins on an implant surface has been observed to guide and direct cell response. However, the role that changes in surface topography might play in determining the nature of this cell-protein-surface interaction has not been investigated in detail. In this study, calcium phosphate (CaP) thin films have been deposited onto substrates with varying topography such that this is reflected in the (conformal) CaP surface features. A fibronectin (FN) ad-layer was then deposited from solution onto each surface and the response of MG63 osteoblast-like cells investigated. The results revealed that in all cases, the presence of the adsorbed FN layer on the CaP thin films improved MG63 cell adhesion, proliferation and promoted early onset differentiation. Moreover, the nature and scale of the response were shown to be influenced by the underlying CaP surface topography. Specifically, MG63 cell on FN-coated CaP thin films with regular topographical features in the nanometer range showed statistically significant differences in focal adhesion assembly, osteocalcin expression and alkaline phosphase activity compared to CaP thin films that lacked these topographical features. As such, these data indicate that surface topography can be used to further influence cell adhesion and downstream differentiation by enhancing the effects of a surface adsorbed FN layer.

Abstract
Understanding how biomineralization occurs in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone cells is crucial to the understanding of bone formation and the development of a successfully engineered bone tissue scaffold. It is still unclear how ECM mechanical properties affect protein-mineral interactions in early stages of bone mineralization. We investigated the longitudinal mineralization properties of MC3T3-E1 cells and the elastic modulus of their ECM using shear modulation force microscopy, synchrotron grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The elastic modulus of the ECM fibers underwent significant changes for the mineralizing cells, which were not observed in the nonmineralizing cells. On substrates conducive to ECM network production, the elastic modulus of mineralizing cells increased at time points corresponding to mineral production, whereas that of the nonmineralizing cells did not vary over time. The presence of hydroxyapatite in mineralizing cells and the absence thereof in the nonmineralizing ones were confirmed by GIXD, and CLSM showed that a restructuring of actin occurred only for mineral-producing cells. These results show that the correct and complete development of the ECM network is required for osteoblasts to mineralize. This in turn requires a suitably prepared synthetic substrate for bone development to succeed in vitro.

Abstract
RGD has been demonstrated to improve implant osseointegration. However, few studies are known about an effect of RGD coating on a bone-bonding ability of screw-shaped porous implant. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of RGD coating using the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique on the bone-bonding ability of porous implant. 60 implants of 10 mm in length (30 control and 30 RGD-coated) were inserted into femurs of 30 rabbits and 30 implants of 8 mm in length (15 control and 15 RGD-coated) were inserted into tibias of 15 rabbits. At 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-implantation, femurs and tibias were retrieved and prepared for removal torque tests (RTQ) and histomorphometric evaluation, respectively. No differences were found in the RTQ values between two implants at 4 weeks (p = 0.932). There were statistical significances in the RTQ values at 8 and 12 weeks (p = 0.002, 0.001, respectively). New bone was formed on both implant surfaces. The bone-implant contact pattern appeared to produce a broad-based direct contact in both implants. The RGD-coated implants showed a significantly greater BIC in the threads inside the cortical bone compared with the control implants at 4, 8, and 12 weeks (p = 0.024, 0.041, 0.022, respectively). No differences were found in the bone area within the same threads between two implants at 4 weeks (p = 0.806) whereas differences were found at 8 and 12 weeks (p = 0.009, 0.031, respectively). It was concluded that RGD coating using the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique has a positive effect on the bone-bonding ability of porous implant.

Abstract
Reported bone-implant contact percentages are far below the ideal 100%. We tested a hypothesis that the protein adsorption capability of titanium, which is critical to the process of osseointegration, changes over time before its use. Machined, acid-etched, and sandblasted surfaces were prepared and stored under dark ambient conditions for 3 days, 1 week, or 4 weeks. For all surfaces, protein adsorption decreased as the storage time increased, and their decreasing rates were dependent on titanium topography. After 4 weeks, the amounts of albumin and fibronectin adsorbed by the acid-etched surface were only 20% and 35%, respectively, of that adsorbed by the fresh surface after 2 hours of incubation, and remained substantially low even after 24 hours. This time-dependent degradation in protein adsorption of titanium correlated with its naturally decreasing hydrophilicity, which was not observed for the nickel and chromium surfaces, indicating a titanium-specific biological aging.

Abstract
The surface modification of a sintered titanium scaffold could play an important role in bone tissue engineering. In this study we have followed a biomimetic strategy where electromagnetically stimulated human SAOS-2 osteoblasts proliferated and built their extracellular matrix on a sintered titanium grid. In comparison with control conditions (standard cell culture incubator, where no electromagnetic stimulus was detectable), the electromagnetic stimulus (magnetic field, 2 mT; frequency, 75 Hz) increased the cell proliferation and the surface coating with decorin, osteopontin, and type-I collagen. The electromagnetic stimulus aimed at obtaining a better surface coating of the sintered titanium grid in terms of cell colonization and bone matrix. The superficially modified biomaterial could be used, in clinical applications, as an implant for bone repair.

Abstract
The surface properties of a biomaterial are fundamental to determine the response of the host tissue. In the present study, we have followed a particular biomimetic strategy where electromagnetically stimulated SAOS-2 human osteoblasts proliferated and built a calcified extracellular matrix on a titanium fiber-mesh surface. In comparison with control conditions, the electromagnetic stimulation (magnetic field intensity, 2 mT; frequency, 75 Hz) caused higher cell proliferation and increased surface coating with type-I collagen, decorin, and osteopontin (9.8-fold, 11.3-fold, and 9.5-fold, respectively). Reverse transcriptase-polymerase analysis revealed the electromagnetically upregulated transcription specific for the foregoing matrix proteins and for the growth factor TGF-beta1. The immunofluorescence of type-I collagen, decorin, and osteopontin showed their colocalization in the cell-rich areas. The use of an electromagnetic bioreactor aimed at obtaining the surface modification of the biocompatible metallic scaffold in terms of cell colonization and coating with calcified extracellular matrix. The superficially modified biomaterial could be used, in clinical applications, as an implant for bone repair.

Abstract
The need for techniques to facilitate the regeneration of failing or destroyed tissues remains great with the aging of the worldwide population and the continued incidence of trauma and diseases such as cancer. A 16-year history in biomaterial scaffold development and tissue engineering is examined, beginning with the synthesis of novel materials and fabrication of 3D porous scaffolds. Exploring cell-scaffold interactions and subsequently cellular delivery using biomaterial carriers, we have developed a variety of techniques for bone and cartilage engineering. In addition to delivering cells, we have utilized growth factors, DNA, and peptides to improve the in vitro and in vivo regeneration of tissues. This review covers important developments and discoveries within our laboratory, and the increasing breadth in the scope of our work within the expanding field of tissue engineering is presented.

Abstract
Several studies suggest that the modification of a titanium surface could play an important role in bone tissue engineering. In this study we have followed a biomimetic strategy where ultrasonically or electromagnetically stimulated human SAOS-2 osteoblasts proliferated and built their extracellular matrix on a titanium plasma-spray surface. In comparison with control conditions, the ultrasonic stimulus (power, 149 mW; frequency, 1.5 MHz) and the electromagnetic stimulus (magnetic field, 2 mT; frequency, 75 Hz) increased the cell proliferation and the surface coating with type-I collagen. The physical stimuli aimed at obtaining a better modification of the rough titanium plasma-spray surface in terms of cell colonization and coating with bone matrix. The superficially modified biomaterial could be used, in clinical applications, as an implant for bone repair.

Abstract
Fibronectin (FN) can be immobilized directly on titanium surfaces using tresyl chloride activation technique. The key advantage of tresyl chloride activation technique lies in its simplicity. In this study, we examined the cell attachment and gene expression of MC3T3-E1 cells on FN-immobilized titanium using GeneChip. Cells attached on FN-immobilized titanium at a higher rate than untreated titanium. FN altered the gene expression profile, whereby 62 genes were found to be up-regulated, while 56 genes were found to down-regulate to over twice the level on day 14. FN not only enhanced the expression levels of IBSP and OMD, but also decreased SULF1 mRNA level. Taken together, the immobilization of FN on tresylated titanium promoted early matrix mineralization and bone formation.

Abstract
The scaffold surface composition can be altered by the use of surface coatings. The use of thin coatings will give special surface properties, while the bulk properties of the scaffold are preserved. Collagen type I is known to play an important role during cell adhesion as well as osteoblast differentiation. A common way to coat surfaces is the adsorption method. An alternative way is the use of a protein immobilization method like p-nitrophenyl chloroformate. In this study, we investigated the effect of a collagen type I coating and p-nitrophenyl chloroformate as a protein immobilization method on osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Titanium fiber meshes were treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), followed by p-nitrophenyl chloroformate, and coated with collagen type I. Osteoblast-like cells were seeded into the meshes and cultured for 24 days. The cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation were measured by using Live and Dead assay, cell counting, DNA analysis, alkaline phosphatase activity assay, calcium content measurement, Real Time PCR (QPCR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results demonstrated that initially less cells were attached to the covalently bounded collagen meshes (NPC-Col) compared with titanium as control (Ti) and adsorbed collagen meshes (ABS-Col). Further, a decreased growth curve of cells cultured on the NPC-Col meshes was observed in comparison with Ti and ABS-Col meshes. The calcium measurements and SEM pictures revealed that all three surfaces showed differentiation of osteoblast-like cells after 8-24 days. On the basis of our results, we conclude that initially less cells were attached to the NPC-Col meshes and that they had a decreased proliferation rate. Further, we conclude that an adsorbed collagen type I coating stimulated the osteoblastic differentiation of rat bone marrow cells.

Abstract
This study was designed to examine the influence of integrin subunit-beta1 and subunit-beta3 on the behavior of primary osteoblast-like cells, cultured on calcium phosphate (CaP)-coated and non coated titanium (Ti). Osteoblast-like cells were incubated with specific monoclonal antibodies against integrin-beta1 and integrin-beta3 to block the integrin function. Subsequently, cells were seeded on Ti discs, either non coated or provided with a 2 microm carbonated hydroxyapatite coating using Electrostatic Spray Deposition. Results showed that on CaP coatings, cellular attachment was decreased after a pre-treatment with either anti-integrin-beta1 or anti-integrin-beta3 antibodies. On Ti, cell adhesion was only slightly affected after a pre-treatment with anti-integrin-beta3 antibodies. Scanning electron microscopy showed that on both types of substrate, cellular morphology was not changed after a pre-treatment with either antibody. With quantitative PCR, it was shown for both substrates that mRNA expression of integrin-beta1 was increased after a pre-treatment with either anti-integrin-beta1 or anti-integrin-beta3 antibodies. Furthermore, after a pre-treatment with either antibody, mRNA expression of integrin-beta3 and ALP was decreased, on both types of substrate. In conclusion, osteoblast-like cells have the ability to compensate to great extent for the blocking strategy as applied here. Still, integrin-beta1 and beta3 seem to play different roles in attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblast-like cells, and responses on CaP-coated substrates differ to non coated Ti. Furthermore, the influence on ALP expression suggests involvement of both integrin subunits in signal transduction for cellular differentiation.

Abstract
The titanium surfaces with micro-roughness have been studied to substitute machined titanium, with the focus on enhancing the bone apposition onto the implant. In this study we have followed a biomimetic strategy where human SAOS-2 osteoblasts proliferated and built their extracellular matrix on a sandblasted titanium surface modified with plastic deformation. In comparison with sandblasted titanium surface, the plastic deformation increased the cell proliferation and the surface coating with bone matrix. The superficially modified biomaterial could be used, in clinical applications, as an implant for bone repair.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys have become key materials for biomedical applications, mainly owing to their compatibility with human tissues and their mechanical strength. Effects of surface topography on cell and tissue response have been investigated extensively in the past, while (bio)chemical surface modification and its combination with designed topographies have remained largely unexplored. The following report describes some of the strategies used or intended to modify titanium surfaces, based on biological principles, with a focus on ultrathin biomimetic adlayers. One of the visions behind such approaches is to achieve improved healing and integration responses after implantation for patients, especially for those suffering from deficiencies, for example, diabetes or osteoporosis, two diseases that have increased drastically in our society during the last century.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impacted morselized bone allograft is a well-established way of giving joint arthroplasties additional support in situations where there is insufficient bone stock. For long-term survival of the implant, early implant fixation is important. We hypothesized that Col-loss, a bone protein lyophilisate, might improve early implant fixation of allografted implants. METHOD We inserted 4 porous-coated Ti implants in the distal femurs of 16 dogs. All implants were surrounded by a 2.5-mm gap, which was impacted with morselized allograft with or without Colloss. In each dog, the implants were treated with no Collos or low-, middle- or high-dose (0, 10, 20 and 40 mg) Colloss per cm3 allograft. The observation time was 4 weeks. RESULTS Mechanical implant fixation was improved for all 3 groups with Colloss-treated implants (p < 0.05). The best anchorage was seen in the middle-dose group, where fixation was improved by 100%. We saw a dramatic reduction in fibrous tissue on the surface of the Colloss-treated implants (p < 0.001). The Colloss groups showed increased ongrowth of new bone (p < 0.01) and accelerated gap remodeling (p < 0.05). INTERPRETATION Colloss can improve early osseointegration and fixation of allografted implants.

Abstract
Collagen modification of scaffolds has been reported to promote matrix mineralization as an effective way to increase osseointegration of implants. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro proliferation and differentiation of human alveolar osteoblasts (AOs) on medical-grade polycaprolactone–tricalcium phosphate (mPCL-TCP 80:20) scaffolds after collagen modification (mPCL-TCP-c) for 28 days. Collagen modification significantly increased the scaffold’s protein adsorption ability, and improved the initial seeding efficiency and cell attachment at day 1, compared with non-collagen-modified scaffolds. However, the total DNA content of both groups reached similar levels with no significant difference at 28 days’ culture. AOs were observed to spread along the collagen fibres and form extensive collagenous fibres with mineral nodules embedded, while multilayered cell sheets were formed in mPCL-TCP scaffolds. During culture, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity increased three- to five-fold in both groups, and collagen modification did not significantly affect either the metabolic rate or ALP activity kinetics of AOs. During osteogenic differentiation, similar gene expression of collagen type-I, osterix, osteopontin, and osteocalcin were detected in both groups. The mPCL-TCP group showed better organized mineralized tissue, but the mPCL-TCP-c showed more scattered and unorganized tissue. These results indicate that collagen modification improved the scaffold’s protein adsorption ability and encouraged initial cell attachment and distribution, but promoted fibrous-like tissue formation rather than mineralized tissue.

Abstract
Electrospun collagen-blended poly(L-lactic acid)-co-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) [P(LLA-CL), 70:30] nanofiber may have great potential application in tissue engineering because it mimicks the extracellular matrix (ECM) both morphologically and chemically. Blended nanofibers with various weight ratios of polymer to collagen were fabricated by electrospinning. The appearance of the blended nanofibers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The nanofibers exhibited a smooth surface and a narrow diameter distribution, with 60% of the nanofibers having diameters between 100 and 200 nm. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy verified the existence of collagen molecules on the surface of nanofibers. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) were seeded onto the blended nanofibers for viability, morphogenesis, attachment, and phenotypic studies. Five characteristic endothelial cell (EC) markers, including four types of cell adhesion molecule and one EC-preferential gene (von Willebrand factor), were studied by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results showed that the collagen-blended polymer nanofibers could enhance the viability, spreading, and attachment of HCAECs and, moreover, preserve the EC phenotype. The blending electrospinning technique shows potential in refining the composition of polymer nanofibers by adding various ingredients (e.g., growth factors) according to cell types to fabricate tissue-engineering scaffold, particularly blood vessel-engineering scaffold.

Abstract
Titanium fiber mesh scaffolds have been shown to be a suitable material for culture of primary marrow stromal cells in an effort to create tissue engineered constructs for bone tissue replacement. In native bone tissue, these cells are known to attach to extracellular matrix molecules via integrin receptors for specific peptide sequences, and these attachments can be a source of cell signaling, affecting cell behaviors such as differentiation. In this study, we examined the ability of primary rat marrow stromal cells at two different stages of osteoblastic differentiation to further differentiate into osteoblasts both in vitro and in vivo when seeded on titanium fiber mesh scaffolds either with or without RGD peptide tethered to the surface. In vitro, the tethered RGD peptide resulted in reduced initial cell proliferation. In vivo, there was no effect of tethered RGD peptide on ectopic bone formation in a rat subcutaneous implant model. Scaffold/cell constructs exposed to dexamethasone for 4 days prior to implantation (+dex constructs) resulted in significant bone formation whereas no bone formation was observed in--dex constructs. These results show that the osteoblastic differentiation of marrow stromal cells was not dependent on surface tethered RGD peptide, and that the initial differentiation stage of implanted cells plays an important role in bone formation in titanium fiber mesh bone tissue engineering constructs.

Abstract
Scaffold materials for bone tissue engineering often are supplemented with bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). In the current study we aimed to investigate COLLOSS, a bovine extracellular matrix product containing native BMPs. Hollow cylindrical implants were made, with a length of 10 mm, a 3 mm inner diameter, and a 5 mm outer diameter, from titanium fibre mesh. The central space of the tube was filled with 20 mg COLLOSS. Subsequently, these implants, as well as non-loaded controls, were implanted subcutaneously into the back of Wistar rats, with n=6 for all study groups. After implantation periods of 2, 8, and 12 weeks, tissue-covered implants were retrieved, and sections were made, perpendicular to the long axis of the tube. Histology showed, that all implants were surrounded by a thin fibrous tissue capsule. After 2 weeks of implantation, the COLLOSS material was reduced in size inside the loaded implants, but no bone-like tissue formation was evident. After 8 weeks, in two out of six loaded specimens, new-formed bone- and bone marrow-like tissues could be observed. After 12 weeks, this had increased to five out of six COLLOSS-loaded samples. The amount of bone-like tissue did not differ between 8 and 12 weeks, and on average occupied 15% of the central space of the tube. In the non-loaded control samples, only connective tissue ingrowth was observed. In conclusion, we can say that COLLOSS material loaded in a titanium fibre mesh tube, showed bone-inducing properties. The final efficacy of these osteo-inductive properties has to be confirmed in future large animal studies.

Abstract
The actin and microtubule cytoskeleton have been found to contribute to the elastic modulus of cells, which may be modulated by adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and subsequent alterations in the cytoskeleton. In this study, the apparent elastic modulus (Eapp) of osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells adhered to fibronectin (FN), vitronectin (VN), type I collagen (COLI), fetal bovine serum (FBS), or poly-l-lysine (PLL), and bare glass were determined using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The E(app) of osteoblasts adhered to ECM proteins (FN, VN, COLI, and FBS) that bind cells via integrins were higher compared to cells on glass and PLL, which adhere cells through nonspecific binding. Also, osteoblasts adhered to FN, VN, COLI, and FBS had F-actin stress fiber formation, while osteoblasts on glass and PLL showed few F-actin fibers. Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton decreased E(app) of osteoblasts plated on FN to the level of osteoblasts plated on glass, while microtubule disruption had no significant effect. This suggests that the elevated modulus of osteoblasts adhered to FN was due to remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton upon adhesion to ECM proteins. Modulation of cell stiffness upon adhesion to various substrates may influence mechanosignal transduction in osteoblasts.

Abstract
In this work the osteoconductive potential of coatings for titanium implants using different extracellular matrix components was evaluated. Cylindrical implants with two defined cavities A and B were coated with collagen type I, type III, or RGD peptide, and placed in the femur of goats together with an uncoated reference state. Bone contact and volume were determined after 5 and 12 weeks implantation, using both histomorphometry and synchrotron radiation micro computed tomography (SR muCT) as the methods complement each other: SR muCT allows for a high precision of bone detection due to the large number of analysed slices per sample, while histology offers a better lateral resolution and the possibility of additionally determining bone contact. Both methods revealed similar tendencies in bone formation for the differently bio-functionalized implants, with the SR muCT data resulting in significant differences. After 5 and 12 weeks, all three coatings showed a significant increase in bone volume over the uncoated reference, with the highest results for the collagen coatings. The coating consisting of just the RGD-sequence to improve cell adhesion showed only a slight improvement compared with the reference material. For uncoated titanium, RGD, and especially collagen type I, the response in cavity A, situated in denser bone, was stronger than in cavity B. Collagen type III, on the other hand, appeared to be the more effective coating in areas of lesser bone density as represented by cavity B. These results indicate that matrix molecules (or combinations thereof) are capable of generating the appropriate signals for the specific microenvironment around implants and can thus accelerate the bone formation process and increase the stability of implants.
