In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2024; 60:106-114.

Abstract
Using stem cells is one of the most important determining factors in repairing lesions using regenerative medicine. Obtaining adult stem cells from patients is a perfect choice, but it is worth noting that their differentiation and proliferation potential decreases as the patient ages. For this reason, the use of amniotic fluid stem cells can be one of the excellent alternatives. This research aimed to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential of the amniotic fluid stem cells while cultured on the polycaprolactone/poly L-lactic acid nanofibrous scaffold. Scaffolds were qualitatively evaluated by a scanning electron microscope, and their hydrophilicity and mechanical properties were studied using contact angle and tensile test, respectively. The biocompatibility and non-toxicity of the nanofibers were also evaluated using viability assay. The osteo-supportive capacity of the nanofibers was examined using alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, and calcium release measurement. Finally, the expression level of four important bone-related genes was determined quantitatively. The results demonstrated that the mineralization rate, alkaline phosphatase activity, intracellular calcium, and bone-related genes increased significantly in the cells cultured on the polycaprolactone/poly L-lactic acid scaffold compared to the cells cultured on the tissue culture plate as a control. According to the results, it can be concluded that the polycaprolactone/poly L-lactic acid nanofibrous scaffold surprisingly improved the osteogenic differentiation potential of the amniotic fluid stem cells and, in combination with polycaprolactone/poly L-lactic acid nanofibers could be a promising candidate as bone implants.

Evaluation of the effects of zein incorporation on physical, mechanical, and biological properties of polyhydroxybutyrate electrospun scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126843. [PMID: 37703978 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
Materials and fabrication methods significantly influence the scaffold's final features in tissue engineering. This study aimed to blend zein with polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) at 5, 10, and 15 wt%, fabricate scaffolds using electrospinning, and then characterize them. SEM and mechanical analyses identified the scaffold with 10 wt% zein (PHB-10Z) as the optimal sample. Incorporating 10 wt% zein reduced fiber diameter from 894 ± 122 to 531 ± 42 nm while increasing ultimate tensile strength and elongation at break by approximately 53 % and 70 %, respectively. FTIR proved zein's presence in the scaffolds and possible hydrogen bonding with PHB. TGA confirmed the miscibility of polymers. DSC and XRD analyses indicated lower crystallinity for the PHB-10Z than for PHB. AFM evaluation indicated a rougher surface for the PHB-10Z in comparison to PHB. The PHB-10Z demonstrated a more hydrophobic surface and less weight loss after 100 days of degradation in PBS than PHB. The free radical scavenging assay exhibited antioxidant activity for the zein-containing scaffold. Eventually, enhanced cell attachment, viability, and differentiation in the PHB-10Z scaffold drawn from SEM, MTT, ALP activity, and Alizarin red staining of MG-63 cells confirmed that PHB-zein electrospun scaffold is a potent candidate for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
As a bone tissue engineering scaffold, the objective of this study was to design hierarchical bioceramics based on an electrospun composite of carbon nanofibers (CNF) reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) and bioactive glasses (BGs) nanoparticles. The performance of the nanofiber as a scaffold for bone tissue engineering was enhanced by reinforcing it with hydroxyapatite and bioactive glass nanoparticles through a hydrothermal process. The influence of HA and BGs on the morphology and biological properties of carbon nanofibers was examined. The prepared materials were evaluated for cytotoxicity in vitro using the water-soluble tetrazolium salt assay (WST-assay) on Osteoblast-like (MG-63) cells, and oste-ocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, total calcium, total protein, and tar-trate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) were measured. The WST-1, OCN, TRAcP, total calcium, total protein, and ALP activity tests demonstrated that scaffolds reinforced with HA and BGs had excellent in vitro biocompatibility (cell viability and proliferation) and were suitable for repairing damaged bone by stimulating bioactivity and biomarkers of bone cell formation.

Abstract
Porous microscaffolds (μ-scaffs) play a crucial role in modular tissue engineering as they control cell functions and guide hierarchical tissue formation toward building new functional tissue analogues. In the present study, we developed a new route to prepare porous polycaprolactone (PCL) μ-scaffs with a bioinspired trabecular structure that supported in vitro adhesion, growth, and biosynthesis of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). The method involved the use of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a biocompatible porogen and a fluidic emulsion/porogen leaching/particle coagulation process to obtain spherical μ-scaffs with controllable diameter and full pore interconnectivity. To achieve this objective, we investigated the effect of PEO concentration and the temperature of the coagulation bath on the μ-scaff architecture, while we modulated the μ-scaff diameter distribution by varying the PCL-PEO amount in the starting solution and changing the flow rate of the continuous phase (QCP). μ-Scaff morphology, pore architecture, and diameter distribution were assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, microcomputed tomography (microCT), and Image analysis. We reported that the selection of 60 wt % PEO concentration, together with a 4 °C coagulation bath temperature and ultrasound postprocessing, allowed for the design and fabrication of μ-scaff with porosity up to 80% and fully interconnected pores on both the μ-scaff surface and the core. Furthermore, μ-scaff diameter distributions were finely tuned in the 100-600 μm range with the coefficient of variation lower than 5% by selecting the PCL-PEO concentration in the 1-10% w/v range and QCP of either 8 or 18 mL/min. Finally, we investigated the capability of the HDF-seeded PCL μ-scaff to form hybrid (biological/synthetic) tissue in vitro. Cell culture tests demonstrated that PCL μ-scaff enabled HDF adhesion, proliferation, colonization, and collagen biosynthesis within inter- and intraparticle spaces and guided the formation of a large (centimeter-sized) viable tissue construct.

Abstract
In order to improve the cell adhesion on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds, poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) (E-VAL) which has hydroxyl groups capable of developing hydrogen bonds with celling was blended with this polymer. To reach this goal, a series of E-VAL/PCL blends with different compositions were prepared by the solvent casting method. The miscibility of the polymer blend was proved by differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectrometry. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the polymer blends were assessed in their wet state by dynamic mechanical analysis. The surfaces wettability of blends and their components were examined through static contact angle measurements. The pore interconnections in the resulted scaffolds were achieved by the incorporation of naphthalene microparticles which were used as porogen and then removed in its gas state by sublimation under reduced pressure. The presence of pores interconnected inside the polymeric materials and their surface morphologies was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The in-vitro cytotoxicity and cell adhesion on the prepared materials were examined by an MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay.

Abstract
Recently, layered structures composed of nanofibers have gained attention as a novel material to mimic skin tissue in wound healing applications. The aim of this study is to develop a novel hybrid bilayer material composed of zein based composite film and nanofiber layers as a wound dressing material. The upper layer was composed of H. perforatum oil incorporated zein film including MMT and the bottom layer was comprised of 3D electrospun zein/MMT nanofibers to induce wound healing with the controlled release of H. perforatum oil. The bilayer composites were characterized in terms of mechanical test, WVP, water uptake and surface wettability. Antimicrobial activity of the wound dressings against microorganisms were investigated by disc diffusion method. In vitro cytotoxicity of monolayer film and bilayer structure was performed using WST-1 assay on HS2 keratinocyte and 3T3 cell lines. Results indicated that the prepared monolayer films showed appropriate mechanical and gas barrier properties and surface wettability for wound healing. Controlled release of H. perforatum oil was obtained from fabricated membranes up to 48 h. Bilayer membranes showed antimicrobial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, and C. albicans and did not show any toxic effect on NIH3T3 mouse fibroblast and HS2 keratinocyte cell lines. In vitro scratch assay results indicated that H. perforatum oil had a wound healing effect by inducing fibroblast migration. The proliferation study supported these results by increasing fibroblast proliferation on H. perforatum oil loaded bilayer membranes.

Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic printing (EHDP) has attracted extensive interests as a powerful technology to fabricate micro- to nano-scale fibrous scaffolds in a custom-tailored manner for biomedical applications. A few synthetic biopolymer inks are applicable to this EHDP technology, but the fabricated scaffolds suffered from low mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. In this study, a series of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/zein composite inks were developed and their printability was examined on a solution-based EHDP system for scaffold fabrication. Multilayer grid scaffolds were manufactured by PCL, PCL/zein-10, and PCL/zein-20 inks, respectively and characterized. The mechanical strength of scaffolds printed by PCL/zein composite inks was remarkably enhanced in terms of Young's modulus and yield stress. The enzyme-accelerated in vitro degradation study demonstrated that zein-containing scaffolds exhibited dose-responsive improvement on the degradation rate as evidenced by surface morphological change of fibers. Moreover, the biocompatibility of PCL/zein scaffolds, tested on mice embryonic fibroblast (NIH/3T3) and human nonsmall lung cancer cell (H1299), manifested better cell affinity. Our findings suggest that scaffolds fabricated by the solution-based EHDP with PCL/zein composite inks can significantly improve Young's modulus, yield stress, biocompatibility, and biodegradability and have potential applications in drug delivery systems, 3D cell culture modeling, or tissue engineering.

Abstract
Craniofacial bone defects such as alveolar cleft affect the esthetics and functions that need bone reconstruction. The advanced techniques of biomaterials combined with stem cells have been a challenging role for maxillofacial surgeons and scientists. PCL-coated biphasic calcium phosphate (PCL-BCP) scaffolds were created with the modified melt stretching and multilayer deposition (mMSMD) technique and merged with human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) to fulfill the component of tissue engineering for bone substitution. In the present study, the objective was to test the biocompatibility and biofunctionalities that included cell proliferation, cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin, alizarin red staining for mineralization, and histological analysis. The results showed that mMSMD PCL-BCP scaffolds were suitable for hDPSCs viability since the cells attached and spread onto the scaffold. Furthermore, the constructs of induced hDPSCs and scaffolds performed ALP activity and produced osteocalcin and mineralized nodules. The results indicated that mMSMD PCL-BCP scaffolds with hDPSCs showed promise in bone regeneration for treatment of osseous defects.

Abstract
Biomaterial properties and controlled architecture of scaffolds are essential features to provide an adequate biological and mechanical support for tissue regeneration, mimicking the ingrowth tissues. In this study, a bioextrusion system was used to produce 3D biodegradable scaffolds with controlled architecture, comprising three types of constructs: (i) poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) matrix as reference; (ii) PCL-based matrix reinforced with cellulose nanofibers (CNF); and (iii) PCL-based matrix reinforced with CNF and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANP). The effect of the addition and/or combination of CNF and HANP into the polymeric matrix of PCL was investigated, with the effects of the biomaterial composition on the constructs (morphological, thermal, and mechanical performances) being analysed. Scaffolds were produced using a single lay-down pattern of 0/90°, with the same processing parameters among all constructs being assured. The performed morphological analyses showed a satisfactory distribution of CNF within the polymer matrix and high reliability was obtained among the produced scaffolds. Significant effects on surface wettability and thermal properties were observed, among scaffolds. Regarding the mechanical properties, higher scaffold stiffness in the reinforced scaffolds was obtained. Results from the cytotoxicity assay suggest that all the composite scaffolds presented good biocompatibility. The results of this first study on cellulose and hydroxyapatite reinforced constructs with controlled architecture clearly demonstrate the potential of these 3D composite constructs for cell cultivation with enhanced mechanical properties.

Abstract
Zein is a biodegradable and biocompatible material extracted from renewable resources; it comprises almost 80% of the whole protein content in corn. This review highlights and describes some zein and zein-based materials, focusing on biomedical applications. It was demonstrated in this review that the biodegradation and biocompatibility of zein are key parameters for its uses in the food-packing, biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the presence of hydrophilic-hydrophobic groups in zein chains is a very important aspect for obtaining material with different hydrophobicities by mixing with other moieties (polymeric or not), but also for obtaining derivatives with different properties. The physical and chemical characteristics and special structure (at the molecular, nano and micro scales) make zein molecules inherently superior to many other polymers from natural sources and synthetic ones. The film-forming property of zein and zein-based materials is important for several applications. The good electrospinnability of zein is important for producing zein and zein-based nanofibers for applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. The use of zein's hydrolysate peptides for reducing blood pressure is another important issue related to the application of derivatives of zein in the biomedical field. It is pointed out that the biodegradability and biocompatibility of zein and other inherent properties associated with zein's structure allow a myriad of applications of such materials with great potential in the near future.

Abstract
A nonwoven membrane for guided bone regeneration, constituting of poly(butylene carbonate), with a backbone that is similar to poly(ϵ-caprolactone), was prepared by electrospinning. The as-fabricated poly(butylene carbonate) membranes were to be used as guided bone regeneration membranes with efficacies equal to or better than poly(ϵ-caprolactone) membranes. The contact angles of electrospun poly(butylene carbonate) membranes (fPBC) (101.90 ± 4.19°) were lower than those for electrospun poly(ϵ-caprolactone) membranes (fPCL) (117.79 ± 3.38°) ( p < 0.01). To examine the biocompatibility, we investigated cell morphology, proliferation, and differentiation in vitro. The bone regenerative efficacy was evaluated in rat calvarial defect. The cell numbers were increased in accordance with culture period. Cells had a stellate shape and broad cytoplasmic extensions on the membrane. Alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly higher on fPBC than on fPCL ( p < 0.05). Defects covered by fPBC and fPCL achieved a similar degree of regeneration at 4 weeks in vivo and were significantly better than uncovered samples ( p < 0.01).Based on the results of this study, the potential for using electrospun poly(butylene carbonate) membranes in guided bone regeneration is highly significant . In addition, poly(butylene carbonate) could be a promising alternative to poly(ϵ-caprolactone) for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite membranes with negative charges were fabricated by grid-controlled constant voltage corona charging, and the charged membranes were investigated for cell biocompatibility and osteoinduction. The osteoblasts on the chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite composite electret membranes significantly enhanced the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation capacity compared to the uncharged group. This study not only provides evidence for the potential clinical application of our novel membranes but also could be used as a strategy for chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite scaffolds.

Abstract
Poly[2-ethyl(2-pyrrolidone) methacrylate] and hyaluronic acid hydrogels were synthesized via free-radical polymerization of 2-ethyl(2-pyrrolidone) methacrylate, hyaluronic acid and different crosslinkers. The ability of these hydrogels to induce apatite formation by incubating in simulated body fluid was investigated. The effect of hyaluronic acid content, crosslinkers and immersion time on mineralization behaviour and interface properties as well as the metabolic activity of different cultured cells were also determined. The bioactivity of the poly[2-ethyl(2-pyrrolidone) methacrylate] and hyaluronic acid hydrogels along with cell viability data indicated their potential application in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering takes part in the complex process of bone healing by combining cells, chemical/physical signals, and scaffolds with the scaffolds providing an artificial extracellular matrix network. The role of the support template for cell activity is crucial to guide the healing process. This in vitro study compared three different poly(D,L-lactic acid) scaffolds obtained by varying the pore size generated by applying different salt leaching processes. The influence of pore dimensions on the extracellular matrix produced by human osteosarcoma-derived osteoblasts (MG63 cell line) seeded on these different materials was analyzed. This study is targeted on the intermediate stage of the bone healing process, where a collagen network is beginning to develop by the growing osteoblasts representing the template for the ultimate stage of bone formation. Imaging analyses assessed by confocal laser microscopy were combined with gene expression measurements of the most common genes involved in the bone healing process. Furthermore, in vitro evaluations were carried out to investigate cell morphology, proliferation, and viability. It was found that the different pore size matrixes can affect extracellular matrix development and that cell organization, collagen I assembly, and mineralization are strictly correlated.

Abstract
Arms bearing ureido-pyrimidinone functional groups with self-association capability (through quadruple hydrogen bonds) were successfully grafted onto hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. The supramolecularly modified nanoparticles (nHApUPy) exhibited enhanced colloidal stability compared to the original hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and were uniformly dispersed in supramolecular polycaprolactone in PCL(UPy)2/HApUPy nanocomposites at different filler loadings. The combined atomic force microscopy, mechanical, and rheological analyses confirmed a high degree of compatibility of HApUPy nanoparticles with the polymer matrix. The temperature dependence of the supramolecular structure in PCL(UPy)2/HApUPy nanocomposites was determined from dynamic rheological measurements at two different temperatures, 60°C and 85°C. The osteocompatibility of the nanocomposite containing HApUPy nanoparticles was compared to the pure polymer. The preliminary cell results clearly confirm that the supramolecular nanocomposites are nontoxic and biocompatible. Therefore, it is postulated that supramolecular nanocomposites provide a new way of tuning the mechanical properties of the supramolecular polymers, particularly supramolecular polycaprolactones.
