RNA Coating Promotes Peri-Implant Osseointegration.

ABSTRACT: In addition to transmitting and carrying genetic information, RNA plays an important abiotic role in the world of nanomaterials. RNA is a natural polyanionic biomacromolecule, and its ability to promote osteogenesis by binding with other inorganic materials as an osteogenic induction agent was discovered only recently. However, whether it can promote osseointegration on implants has not been reported. Here, we investigated the effect of the RNA-containing coating materials on peri-implant osseointegration. Total RNA extracted from rat muscle tissue was used as an osteogenic induction agent, and hyaluronic acid (HA) was used to maintain its negative charge. In simulated body fluids (SBF), in vitro studies demonstrated that the resulting material encouraged calcium salt deposition. Cytologic
