3D Printed Porous Methacrylate/Silica Hybrid Scaffold for Bone Substitution.

ABSTRACT: Inorganic-organic hybrid biomaterials made with star polymer poly(methyl methacrylate-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate) and silica_, which show promising mechanical properties, are 3D printed as bone substitutes for the first time, by direct ink writing of the sol. Three different inorganic:organic ratios of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate)-star-SiO₂ hybrid inks are printed with pore channels in the range of 100-200 µm. Mechanical properties of the 3D printed scaffolds fall within the range of trabecular bone, and MC3T3 pre-osteoblast cells are able to adhere to the scaffolds in vitro, regardless of their compositions. Osteogenic and angiogenic properties of the hybrid scaffolds are shown using a rat calvarial defect model. Hybrid scaffolds with 40:60 inorganic:organic composition are able to instigate new vascularized bone formation within its pore channels and polarize macrophages toward M2 phenotype. 3D printing inorganic-organic hybrids with sophisticated polymer structure opens up possibilities to produce novel bone graft materials.

Project description:Background/Objective: The treatment of bone defect has always been a difficult problem in orthopedic clinic. The search for alternative biodegradable implants is a hot topic. The development of biodegradable magnesium scaffolds for the treatment of bone defects has long been a goal of the public.MethodsIn this study, we proposed a porous magnesium scaffold prepared by 3D gel printing and surface modification with an additional calcium phosphate coating and use of its strength, degradability and slow degradation rate in a bone graft substitute material. The porous magnesium granular scaffold was prepared by 3D gel printing technology and modified by DCPD (Dibasic Calcium Phosphate Dihydrate) coating. The biocompatibility, degradation rate, and osteogenic ability of the scaffold were evaluated in vitro and in vivo.ResultsThe biocompatibility, in vivo degradation and bone defect healing response of the implants were investigated. Porous magnesium scaffolds were successfully prepared, and the strength of sintered scaffolds reached 5.38 MPa. The degradation rates of scaffolds were significantly reduced after coating with DCPD. The cell compatibility evaluation showed that DCPD-coated Mg scaffold was suitable for cell proliferation. In vivo biosafety monitoring showed that scaffold implantation did not cause an increase in Mg ion concentration in vivo, and no toxic damage was detected in the liver or kidney. Micro-CT and pathological results showed that a large amount of new bone was formed at 6 weeks. At 12 weeks, approximately 52% of the scaffold volume remained. At 24 weeks, osteogenesis, which was stimulated by some residual scaffold, still can be observed. In summary, this study suggests that 3D gel-printed DCPD-coated porous magnesium scaffolds have great potential as bone graft alternatives.ConclusionIn summary, this study suggests that 3D gel-printed DCPD-coated porous magnesium scaffolds have great potential as bone graft alternatives.The translational potential of this articleThe translational potential of this article is to make use of the advantages of 3D gel printing technology with higher efficiency and lower cost compared with SLM and SLS technologies, and use pure magnesium powder as raw material to prepare degradable porous magnesium metal scaffolds, opening up a new technical route for the preparation of degradable porous magnesium scaffolds which are made for bone defect regeneration in the future.

Project description:ObjectivesTo investigate the feasibility of the 3D printed scaffold for periapical bone defects.MethodsIn this study, antimicrobial peptide KSL-W-loaded PLGA sustainable-release microspheres (KSL-W@PLGA) were firstly prepared followed by assessing the drug release behavior and bacteriostatic ability against Enterococcus faecalis and Porphyromonas gingivalis. After that, we demonstrated that KSL-W@PLGA/collagen (COL)/silk fibroin (SF)/nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) (COL/SF/nHA) scaffold via 3D-printing technique exhibited significantly good biocompatibility and osteoconductive property. The scaffold was characterized as to pore size, porosity, water absorption expansion rate and mechanical properties. Moreover, MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded into sterile scaffold materials and investigated by CCK-8, SEM and HE staining. In the animal experiment section, we constructed bone defect models of the mandible and evaluated its effect on bone formation. The Japanese white rabbits were killed at 1 and 2 months after surgery, the cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) and micro-CT scanning, as well as HE and Masson staining analysis were performed on the samples of the operation area, respectively. Data analysis was done using ANOVA and LSD tests. (α = 0.05).ResultsWe observed that the KSL-W@PLGA sustainable-release microspheres prepared in the experiment were uniform in morphology and could gradually release the antimicrobial peptide (KSL-W), which had a long-term antibacterial effect for at least up to 10 days. HE staining and SEM showed that the scaffold had good biocompatibility, which was conducive to the adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. The porosity and water absorption of the scaffold were (81.96 ± 1.83)% and (458.29 ± 29.79)%, respectively. Histological and radiographic studies showed that the bone healing efficacy of the scaffold was satisfactory.ConclusionsThe KSL-W@PLGA/COL/SF/nHA scaffold possessed good biocompatibility and bone repairing ability, and had potential applications in repairing infected bone defects. Clinical significance The 3D printed scaffold not only has an antibacterial effect, but can also promote bone tissue formation, which provides an alternative therapy option in apical periodontitis.
