A Novel Drastic Peptide Genetically Adapted to Biomimetic Scaffolds "Delivers" Osteogenic Signals to Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

ABSTRACT: This work describes the design, preparation, and deep investigation of "intelligent nanobiomaterials" that fulfill the safety rules and aim to serve as "signal deliverers" for osteogenesis, harboring a specific peptide that promotes and enhances osteogenesis at the end of their hydrogel fibers. The de novo synthesized protein fibers, besides their mechanical properties owed to their protein constituents from elastin, silk fibroin and mussel-foot adhesive protein-1 as well as to cell-attachment peptides from extracellular matrix glycoproteins, incorporate the Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP2) peptide (AISMLYLDEN) that, according to our studies, serves as "signal deliverer" for osteogenesis. The osteogenetic capacity of the biomaterial has been evidenced by investigating the osteogenic marker genes ALP, RUNX2, Osteocalcin, COL1A1, BMPR1A, and BMPR2, which were increased drastically in cells cultured on scaffold-BMP2 for 21 days, even in the absence of osteogenesis medium. In addition, the induction of phosphorylation of intracellular Smad-1/5 and Erk-1/2 proteins clearly supported the osteogenetic capacity of the biomaterial.

Project description:IntroductionEngineered bone graft substitutes are a promising alternative and supplement to autologous bone grafts as treatments for bone healing impairment. Advances in human medicine extend an invitation to pursue these biomimetic strategies in animal patients, substantiated by the theory that specialized scaffolds, multipotent cells, and biological cues may be combined into a bioactive implant intended for the enhancement of tissue regeneration.MethodsThis proof-of-concept study was designed to evaluate and validate the feasibility of beta-tricalcium phosphate foam scaffolds seeded with canine mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue. Cell-inoculated samples and sham controls were cultured statically for 72 hours in complete growth medium to evaluate seeding capacity, while a subset of loaded scaffolds was further induced with osteogenic culture medium for 21 days. Produced implants were characterized and validated with a combination of immunofluorescence and reflection confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and polymerase chain reaction to confirm osteogenic differentiation in tridimensional-induced samples.ResultsAfter 72 hours of culture, all inoculated scaffolds presented widespread yet heterogeneous surface seeding, distinctively congregating stem cells around pore openings. Furthermore, at 21 days of osteogenic culture conditions, robust osteoblastic differentiation of the seeded cells was confirmed by the change of cell morphology and evident deposition of extra-cellular matrix, accompanied by mineralization and scaffold remodeling; furthermore, all induced cell-loaded implants lost specific stemness immunophenotype expression and simultaneously upregulated genomic expression of osteogenic genes Osterix and Ostecalcin.Conclusionsβ-TCP bio-ceramic foam scaffolds proved to be suitable carriers and hosts of canine adipose-derived MSCs, promoting not only surface attachment and proliferation, but also demonstrating strong in-vitro osteogenic potential. Although this research provides satisfactory in-vitro validation for the conceptualization and feasibility of a canine bio-active bone implant, further testing such as patient safety, large-scale reproducibility, and quality assessment are needed for regulatory compliance in future commercial clinical applications.
