Biomimetic Intrafibrillar Mineralization of Type I Collagen with Intermediate Precursors-loaded Mesoporous Carriers.

ABSTRACT: Limited continuous replenishment of the mineralization medium is a restriction for in-situ solution-based remineralization of hypomineralized body tissues. Here, we report a process that generated amine-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles for sustained release of biomimetic analog-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate precursors. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional collagen models can be intrafibrillarly mineralized with these released fluidic intermediate precursors. This represents an important advance in the translation of biomineralization concepts into regimes for in-situ remineralization of bone and teeth.

Contribution of biomimetic collagen-ligand interaction to intrafibrillar mineralization.

Project description:Contemporary models of intrafibrillar mineralization mechanisms are established using collagen fibrils as templates without considering the contribution from collagen-bound apatite nucleation inhibitors. However, collagen matrices destined for mineralization in vertebrates contain bound matrix proteins for intrafibrillar mineralization. Negatively charged, high-molecular weight polycarboxylic acid is cross-linked to reconstituted collagen to create a model for examining the contribution of collagen-ligand interaction to intrafibrillar mineralization. Cryogenic electron microscopy and molecular dynamics simulation show that, after cross-linking to collagen, the bound polyelectrolyte caches prenucleation cluster singlets into chain-like aggregates along the fibrillar surface to increase the pool of mineralization precursors available for intrafibrillar mineralization. Higher-quality mineralized scaffolds with better biomechanical properties are achieved compared with mineralization of unmodified scaffolds in polyelectrolyte-stabilized mineralization solution. Collagen-ligand interaction provides insights on the genesis of heterogeneously mineralized tissues and the potential causes of ectopic calcification in nonmineralized body tissues.

Engineered Peptides Enable Biomimetic Route for Collagen Intrafibrillar Mineralization.

Project description:Overcoming the short lifespan of current dental adhesives remains a significant clinical need. Adhesives rely on formation of the hybrid layer to adhere to dentin and penetrate within collagen fibrils. However, the ability of adhesives to achieve complete enclosure of demineralized collagen fibrils is recognized as currently unattainable. We developed a peptide-based approach enabling collagen intrafibrillar mineralization and tested our hypothesis on a type-I collagen-based platform. Peptide design incorporated collagen-binding and remineralization-mediating properties using the domain structure conservation approach. The structural changes from representative members of different peptide clusters were generated for each functional domain. Common signatures associated with secondary structure features and the related changes in the functional domain were investigated by attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, respectively. Assembly and remineralization properties of the peptides on the collagen platforms were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Mechanical properties of the collagen fibrils remineralized by the peptide assemblies was studied using PeakForce-Quantitative Nanomechanics (PF-QNM)-AFM. The engineered peptide was demonstrated to offer a promising route for collagen intrafibrillar remineralization. This approach offers a collagen platform to develop multifunctional strategies that combine different bioactive peptides, polymerizable peptide monomers, and adhesive formulations as steps towards improving the long-term prospects of composite resins.

Intrafibrillar mineralization of type I collagen by micelle-loaded amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles.

Project description:Mineralization of type I collagen fibrils is highly desired for artificial bone preparation and teeth repairing. Generally, amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) combined with non-collagenous protein analogue (NCPA) were used for biomimetic remineralization of collagen fibrils. However, the ACP was likely to aggregate to form larger particles that could not infiltrate into the gaps of the collagen for intrafibrillar mineralization, and the poor storage stability of ACP has challenged its practical applications. To address this question, here we assembled ACP that was stabilized by carboxylated polyamidoamine (CPAMAM) at a pH of 6.5 to form dispersed nanoparticles of 25 nm in size, which was named as ACP/CPAMAM. The ACP/CPAMAM nanoparticles were further loaded into micelles composed of polysorbate and polyethylene glycol (PEG) to further improve their storage stability. The micelle-loaded ACP/CPAMAM particles could maintain their amorphous phase after storage for 12 months. During the mineralization of collagen fibrils, isopropanol (IPA) was introduced to dissolve the micelles and release the ACP/CPAMAM nanoparticles. By using micelle-loaded ACP/CPAMAM, good intrafibrillar mineralization of type I collagen was demonstrated. This work provides novel methods for preparing ACP nanoparticles with good storage stability and controllable release for intrafibrillar mineralization.

<i>c</i>-Axis-Oriented Platelets of Crystalline Hydroxyapatite in Biomimetic Intrafibrillar Mineralization of Polydopamine-Functionalized Collagen Type I.

Project description:Mineralized collagen fibrils are important basic building blocks of calcified tissues, such as bone and dentin. Polydopamine (PDA) can introduce functional groups, i.e., hydroxyl and amine groups, on the surfaces of type I collagen (Col-I) as possible nucleation sites of calcium phosphate (CaP) crystallization. Molecular bindings in between PDA and Col-I fibrils (Col-PDA) have been found to significantly reduce the interfacial energy. The wetting effect, mainly hydrophilicity due to the functional groups, escalates the degree of mineralization. The assembly of Col-I molecules into fibrils was initiated at the designated number of collagenous molecules and PDA. In contrast to the infiltration of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) precursors into the Col-I matrix by polyaspartic acid (pAsp), this collagen assembly process allows nucleation and ACP to exist in advance by PDA in the intrafibrillar matrix. PDA bound to specific sites, i.e., gap and overlap zones, by the regular arrangement of Col-I fibrils enhanced ACP nucleation and thus mineralization. As a result, the c-axis-oriented platelets of crystalline hydroxyapatite in the Col-I fibril matrix were observed in the enhanced mineralization through PDA functionalization.

Rapid fabrication of vascularized and innervated cell-laden bone models with biomimetic intrafibrillar collagen mineralization.

Project description:Bone tissue, by definition, is an organic-inorganic nanocomposite, where metabolically active cells are embedded within a matrix that is heavily calcified on the nanoscale. Currently, there are no strategies that replicate these definitive characteristics of bone tissue. Here we describe a biomimetic approach where a supersaturated calcium and phosphate medium is used in combination with a non-collagenous protein analog to direct the deposition of nanoscale apatite, both in the intra- and extrafibrillar spaces of collagen embedded with osteoprogenitor, vascular, and neural cells. This process enables engineering of bone models replicating the key hallmarks of the bone cellular and extracellular microenvironment, including its protein-guided biomineralization, nanostructure, vasculature, innervation, inherent osteoinductive properties (without exogenous supplements), and cell-homing effects on bone-targeting diseases, such as prostate cancer. Ultimately, this approach enables fabrication of bone-like tissue models with high levels of biomimicry that may have broad implications for disease modeling, drug discovery, and regenerative engineering.

Biomimetic Intrafibrillar Mineralization of Native Tendon for Soft-Hard Interface Integration by Infiltration of Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Precursors.

Project description:Soft and hard tissues possess distinct biological properties. Integrating the soft-hard interface is difficult due to the inherent non-osteogenesis of soft tissue, especially of anterior cruciate ligament and rotator cuff reconstruction. This property makes it difficult for tendons to be mineralized and integrated with bone in vivo. To overcome this challenge, a biomimetic mineralization strategy is employed to engineer mineralized tendons. The strategy involved infiltrating amorphous calcium phosphate precursors into collagen fibrils, resulting in hydroxyapatite deposition along the c-axis. The mineralized tendon presented characteristics similar to bone tissue and induced osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Additionally, the interface between the newly formed bone and tendon is serrated, suggesting a superb integration between the two tissues. This strategy allows for biomineralization of tendon collagen and replicating the hallmarks of the bone matrix and extracellular niche, including nanostructure and inherent osteoinductive properties, ultimately facilitating the integration of soft and hard tissues.

Collagen piezoelectricity in osteogenesis imperfecta and its role in intrafibrillar mineralization.

Project description:Intrafibrillar mineralization plays a critical role in attaining desired mechanical properties of bone. It is well known that amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) infiltrates into the collagen through the gap regions, but its underlying driving force is not understood. Based on the authors' previous observations that a collagen fibril has higher piezoelectricity at gap regions, it was hypothesized that the piezoelectric heterogeneity of collagen helps ACP infiltration through the gap. To further examine this hypothesis, the collagen piezoelectricity of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), known as brittle bone disease, is characterized by employing Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM). The OI collagen reveals similar piezoelectricity between gap and overlap regions, implying that losing piezoelectric heterogeneity in OI collagen results in abnormal intrafibrillar mineralization and, accordingly, losing the benefit of mechanical heterogeneity from the fibrillar level. This finding suggests a perspective to explain the ACP infiltration, highlighting the physiological role of collagen piezoelectricity in intrafibrillar mineralization.

<i>In situ</i> co-deposition synthesis for collagen-Astragalus polysaccharide composite with intrafibrillar mineralization as potential biomimetic-bone repair materials.

Project description:A hybrid material possessing both componential and structural imitation of bone tissue is the preferable composites for bone defect repair. Inspired by the microarchitecture of native bone, this work synthesized in vitro a functional mineralized collagen fibril (MCF) material by utilizing the method of in situ co-precipitation, which was designed to proceed in the presence of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), thus achieving APS load within the biomineralized collagen-Astragalus polysaccharide (MCAPS) fibrils. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) identified the details of the intrafibrillar mineralization of the MCAPS fibrils, almost mimicking the secondary level of bone tissue microstructure. A relatively uniform and continuous mineral layer formed on and within all collagen fibrils and the mineral phase was identified as typical weak-crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) with a Ca/P ratio of about 1.53. The proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) obtained a significant promotion by MCAPS. As for the osteogenic properties of MCAPS, a distinct increase in the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the number of calcium nodules (CN) in BMSC and MC3T3-E1 was detected. The up-regulation of three osteogenic-related genes of RUNX-2, BMP-2 and OCN were confirmed via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to further verify the osteogenic performance promotion of MCAPS. A period of 14 days of culture demonstrated that MCAPS-L exhibited a preferable efficacy in enhancing ALP activity and CN quantity, as well as in promoting the expression of osteogenic-related genes over MCAPS-M and MCAPS-H, indicating that a lower dose of APS within the material of MCAPS is more appropriate for its osteogenesis promotion properties.
