Project description:Bone healing is a complex process orchestrated by various factors, such as mechanical, chemical and electrical cues. Creating synthetic biomaterials that combine several of these factors leading to tailored and controlled tissue regeneration, is the goal of scientists worldwide. Among those factors is piezoelectricity which creates a physiological electrical microenvironment that plays an important role in stimulating bone cells and fostering bone regeneration. However, only a limited number of studies have addressed the potential of combining piezoelectric biomaterials with state-of-the-art fabrication methods to fabricate tailored scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Here, we present an approach that takes advantage of modern additive manufacturing techniques to create macroporous biomaterial scaffolds based on a piezoelectric and bioactive ceramic-crystallised glass composite. Using binder jetting, scaffolds made of barium titanate and 45S5 bioactive glass are fabricated and extensively characterised with respect to their physical and functional properties. The 3D-printed ceramic-crystallised glass composite scaffolds show both suitable mechanical strength and bioactive behaviour, as represented by the accumulation of bone-like calcium phosphate on the surface. Piezoelectric scaffolds that mimic or even surpass bone with piezoelectric constants ranging from 1 to 21 pC/N are achieved, depending on the composition of the composite. Using MC3T3-E1 osteoblast precursor cells, the scaffolds show high cytocompatibility coupled with cell attachment and proliferation, rendering the barium titanate/45S5 ceramic-crystallised glass composites promising candidates for bone tissue engineering.

Project description:Intermediate water (IW) in hydrated bioactive glasses remains uninvestigated. We obtained titanium (Ti)-containing bioactive glasses (BGTs) (Ti at 5%, 7.5% and 10% of the glass system) using the sol-gel technique. Their thermal, physicochemical, and morphological properties, before and after Ti-doping, were analysed using DTA, XRD, FTIR, TEM, and SEM accessorised with EDAX, and size distribution and zeta potential surface charges were determined using a NanoZetasizer. The IW in hydrated BGTs was investigated by cooling and heating runs of DSC measurements. Moreover, the mode of death in an osteosarcoma cell line (MG63) was evaluated at different times of exposure to BGT discs. Ti doping had no remarkable effect on the thermal, physicochemical, and morphological properties of BGTs. However, the morphology, size, and charges of BGT nano-powders were slightly changed after inclusion of Ti compared with those of BGT0; for example, the particle size increased with increasing Ti content (from 4-5 to 7-28 nm). The IW content was enhanced in the presence of Ti. The mode of cell death revealed the effect of IW content on the proliferation of cells exposed to BGTs. These findings should help improve the biocompatibility of inorganic biomaterials.

Project description:In this study, the in vitro and in vivo bone formation behavior of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) particles incorporated in a pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100G10) was studied in a metaphyseal fracture-defect model in ovariectomized rats and compared to a plain pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100) and control (empty defect) group, respectively. In vitro testing showed good cytocompatibility on human preosteoblasts and ongoing dissolution of the MBG component. Neither the released strontium nor the BMG particles from the pS100G10 had a negative influence on cell viability. Forty-five female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three different treatment groups: (1) pS100 (n = 15), (2) pS100G10 (n = 15), and (3) empty defect (n = 15). Twelve weeks after bilateral ovariectomy and multi-deficient diet, a 4 mm wedge-shaped fracture-defect was created at the metaphyseal area of the left femur in all animals. The originated fracture-defect was substituted with pS100 or pS100G10 or left empty. After six weeks, histomorphometrical analysis revealed a statistically significant higher bone volume/tissue volume ratio in the pS100G10 group compared to the pS100 (p = 0.03) and empty defect groups (p = 0.0001), indicating enhanced osteoconductivity with the incorporation of MBG. Immunohistochemistry revealed a significant decrease in the RANKL/OPG ratio for pS100 (p = 0.004) and pS100G10 (p = 0.003) compared to the empty defect group. pS100G10 showed a statistically higher expression of BMP-2. In addition, a statistically significant higher gene expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin, collagen1a1, collagen10a1 with a simultaneous decrease in RANKL, and carbonic anhydrase was seen in the pS100 and pS100G10 groups compared to the empty defect group. Mass spectrometric imaging by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) showed the release of Sr2+ ions from both pS100 and pS100G10, with a gradient into the interface region. ToF-SIMS imaging also revealed that resorption of the MBG particles allowed for new bone formation in cement pores. In summary, the current work shows better bone formation of the injectable pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement with incorporated mesoporous bioactive glass compared to the bioactive-free bone cement and empty defects and can be considered for clinical application for osteopenic fracture defects in the future.

Project description:Efforts in tissue engineering aim at creating scaffolds that mimic the physiological environment with its structural, topographical and mechanical properties for restoring the function of damaged tissue. In this study we introduce composite fibres made by a biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLLA) matrix embedding bioactive silica-based glass particles (SBA2). Electrospinning is performed to achieve porous PLLA filaments with uniform dispersion of bioactive glass powder. The obtained composite fibres show in aligned arrays significantly increased elastic modulus compared with that of neat polymer fibres during uniaxial tensile stress. Additionally, the SBA2 bioactivity is preserved upon encapsulation as highlighted by the promoted deposition of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) upon immersion in simulated body fluid solutions. HCA formation is sequential to earlier processes of polymer erosion and ion release leading to acidification of the surrounding solution environment. These findings suggest PLLA-SBA2 fibres as a composite, multifunctional system which might be appealing for both bone and soft tissue engineering applications.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate calcium charge and release of conventional glass-ionomer cement (GIC) containing nanoporous silica (NPS). Experimental specimens were divided into two groups: the control (GIC containing no NPS) and GIC-NPS (GIC containing 10 wt % NPS). The specimens were immersed in calcium chloride solutions of 5 wt % calcium concentration for 24 h at 37 °C, whereupon the calcium ion release of the specimens was measured. The calcium ion release behavior of GIC-NPS after immersion in the calcium solution was significantly greater than that of the control. Scanning electron microscopy and electron-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results indicated that calcium penetrated inside the GIC-NPS specimen, while the calcium was primarily localized on the surface of the control specimen. It was demonstrated that NPS markedly improved the calcium charge and release property of GIC.

Project description:Diabetic foot wound healing is a major clinical problem due to impaired angiogenesis and bacterial infection. Therefore, an effective regenerative dressing is desiderated with the function of promoting revascularization and anti-bacteria. Herein, a multifunctional injectable composite hydrogel was prepared by incorporation of the cerium-containing bioactive glass (Ce-BG) into Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel. The Ce-BG was synthesized by combining sol-gel method with template method, which maintained spherical shape, chemical structure and phase constitution of bioactive glass (BG). The Ce-BG/GelMA hydrogels had good cytocompatibility, promoted endothelial cells migration and tube formation by releasing Si ion. In vitro antibacterial tests showed that 5 mol % CeO2-containing bioactive glass/GelMA (5/G) composite hydrogel exhibited excellent antibacterial properties. In vivo study demonstrated that the 5/G hydrogel could significantly improve wound healing in diabetic rats by accelerating the formation of granulation tissue, collagen deposition and angiogenesis. All in all, these results indicate that the 5/G hydrogel could enhance diabetic wound healing. Therefore, the development of multifunctional materials with antibacterial and angiogenic functions is of great significance to promote the repair of diabetic wound healing.

Project description:Objective:To compare the elastic modulus, flexural strength, and hardness of an experimental resin based composite (RBC) with and without containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and bioactive glass (BAG) with a commercially available RBC. Methods:This study was conducted, during the period August 2016-May 2018, at the Department of Dental Materials, Peshawar Dental College, Peshawar (Pakistan) and Department of Chemistry, University of Montreal, Canada. Test specimens made in the commercial RBC acted as Group-1 (G1). An experimental RBC containing 70 wt % filler content was synthesized. It was first used as such to prepare test specimens to act as the experimental control group (G2). This RBC was then modified by adding various amounts of BAG (5%, 10% and 15%) and a fixed amount of 0.009% AgNPs to use the so modified RBCs for preparing the test specimens to belong to three groups (G3, G4 & G5). The AgNPs had been synthesized in situ by reduction of salt during photo-polymerization. Flexural strength (FS), elastic modulus (EM) and Vickers hardness were determined using universal testing machine and hardness tester respectively. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test. Results:Except for G3 restorations showing significantly lower mean FS value, the FS for those in the other groups were not significantly different (p>0.05). Elastic modulus of the experimental RBC restorations was though higher than those of the others but the difference was statistically insignificant (p>0.05). Reduced Vickers hardness values were documented for the restorations in the G4 and G5 compared to those in the G3 but again the difference was insignificant (p>0.05). Flexural strength and hardness values of the test specimens in the experimental RBCs were significantly lower than those made in the commercial hybrid RBC (p<0.05). Conclusion:BAG and AgNPs addition to the experimental RBC in the mentioned concentration adversely affected the tested mechanical properties.

Project description:Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is an important material applied in orthopedic applications, as it posses favorable properties for orthopedic implants, e.g., radiolucency and suitable elastic modulus. However, PEEK exhibits insufficient osteogenesis and osteointegration that limits its clinical applications. In this study, we aimed to enhance the osteogenisis of PEEK by using a surface coating approach. Nanocomposite coating composed of albumin/lithium containing bioactive glass nanospheres was fabricated on PEEK through dip-coating method. The presence of nanocomposite coating on PEEK was confirmed by SEM, FTIR, and XRD techniques. Nanocomposite coatings significantly enhanced hydrophilicity and roughness of PEEK. The nanocomposite coatings also enhanced adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells due to the presence of bioactive glass nanospheres and the BSA substrate film. The results indicate the great potential of the nanocomposite coating in enhancing osteogenesis and osteointegration of PEEK implants.

Project description:Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive alveolar bone resorption, and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a key factor to disease progression. Therefore, scavenging ROS to alleviate inflammation and promote bone regeneration are promising strategies to treat periodontitis. In this study, L-arginine (L-Arg) was used to modify mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), forming L-Arg modified MBG (MBG@L-Arg), which showed effective ROS-scavenging and NO release properties in cells, and realize the protection and restoration of cell's activity in ROS-rich microenvironment. Furthermore, MBG@L-Arg can induce macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype, and promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). MBG@L-Arg also regulated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant systems by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway and activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Besides, NO-PKG signaling pathway was also activated, further promoting bone regeneration. The in vivo results demonstrated that MBG@L-Arg can efficiently inhibit inflammation-induced tissue destruction and promote osteogenesis regeneration. The quantitative bone loss in MBG@L-Arg group was 1.03 ± 0.05 mm, significantly lower than that of the periodontitis group (1.47 ± 0.13 mm), implying that MBG@L-Arg can work as multifunctional materials for periodontal tissue regeneration.

Project description:The present study analyzes the capacity of collagen (coll)/sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG)-based surface coatings containing bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGN) in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stroma cells (hMSC). Physicochemical characteristics of these coatings and their effects on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hMSC were investigated. BGN were stably incorporated into the artificial extracellular matrices (aECM). Oscillatory rheology showed predominantly elastic, gel-like properties of the coatings. The complex viscosity increased depending on the GAG component and was further elevated by adding BGN. BGN-containing aECM showed a release of silicon ions as well as an uptake of calcium ions. hMSC were able to proliferate on coll and coll/sGAG coatings, while cellular growth was delayed on aECM containing BGN. However, a stimulating effect of BGN on ALP activity and calcium deposition was shown. Furthermore, a synergistic effect of sGAG and BGN was found for some donors. Our findings demonstrated the promising potential of aECM and BGN combinations in promoting bone regeneration. Still, future work is required to further optimize the BGN/aECM combination for increasing its combined osteogenic effect.
