Project description:The development of biomaterial surfaces possessing the topographical cues that can promote mesenchymal stem cell recruitment and, in particular, those capable of subsequently directing osteogenic differentiation is of increasing importance for the advancement of tissue engineering. While it is accepted that it is the interaction with specific nanoscale topography that induces mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, the potential for an attendant bioactive chemistry working in tandem with such nanoscale features to enhance this effect has not been considered to any great extent. This article presents a study of mesenchymal stem cell response to conformal bioactive calcium phosphate thin films sputter deposited onto a polycrystalline titanium nanostructured surface with proven capability to directly induce osteogenic differentiation in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The sputter deposited surfaces supported high levels of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell adherence and proliferation, as determined by DNA quantification. Furthermore, they were also found to be capable of directly promoting significant levels of osteogenic differentiation. Specifically, alkaline phosphatase activity, gene expression and immunocytochemical localisation of key osteogenic markers revealed that the nanostructured titanium surfaces and the bioactive calcium phosphate coatings could direct the differentiation towards an osteogenic lineage. Moreover, the addition of the calcium phosphate chemistry to the topographical profile of the titanium was found to induce increased human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell differentiation compared to that observed for either the titanium or calcium phosphate coating without an underlying nanostructure. Hence, the results presented here highlight that a clear benefit can be achieved from a surface engineering strategy that combines a defined surface topography with an attendant, conformal bioactive chemistry to enhance the direct osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Project description:Ti6Al4V as a common implant material features good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, untreated, it lacks bioactivity. In contrast, coatings with calcium phosphates (CaP) were shown to improve cell-material interactions in bone tissue engineering. Therefore, this work aimed to investigate how to tailor biomimetic CaP coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates using modified biomimetic calcium phosphate (BCP) coating solutions. Furthermore, the impact of substrate immersion in a 1 M alkaline CaCl2 solution (pH = 10) on subsequent CaP coating formation was examined. CaP coatings were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and laser-scanning microscope. Biocompatibility of coatings was carried out with primary human osteoblasts analyzing cell morphology, proliferation, collagen type 1, and interleukin 6 and 8 release. Results indicate a successful formation of low crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) on top of every sample after immersion in each BCP coating solution after 14 days. Furthermore, HA coating promoted cell proliferation and reduced the concentration of interleukins compared to the uncoated surface, assuming increased biocompatibility.

Project description:The appropriate immune microenvironment plays crucial roles in bone regeneration. Surface structure and chemisty are key factors affecting immune cells behaivor and subsequently regulating the activity of bone-related cells. To achieve rapid osteointegration, this study prepared a biomimetic calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on Ti-based substrates (THCaP) with the help of oleic acid under hydrothermal condition. The coating was composed of hydroxyapatite nanowires and further self-assembled into macropores. Also, the effect of the biomimetic CaP coating on the immune response of macrophages and the impact on angiogenesis and osteogenesis were investigated. In vitro cell culture results showed that compared with pristine Ti and similar titanate nanowire structure (TH), THCaP not only stimulated the polarization of macrophages towards to pro-healing M2 phenotype, but also enhanced the angiogenic and osteogenic differentiation of endothelial cells and preosteoblastic cells, respectively. Especially, macrophages on THCaP induced a favorable immune microenvironment and further facilitated the osteogenic diffferention of preosteoblastic cells. In vivo tests confirmed the aforementioned results, which proved that the implanted THCaP could decrease the inflammatory response and facilitate new bone formation when compared with pristine Ti and TH implants. These findings indicate that preparation of biomimetic CaP network structure is a promising strategy to surface design of Ti-based substrates, which is beneficial to generate a favorable osteoimmunomodulatory microenvironment for enhancing osteointegration.

Project description:Calcium phosphate has attracted enormous attention as a bone regenerative material in biomedical fields. In this study, we investigated the effect of microwave treatment on calcium phosphate deposited TiO2 nanoflower to improve protein adsorption. Hierarchical rutile TiO2 nanoflowers (TiNF) fabricated by a hydrothermal method were soaked in modified simulated body fluid for 3 days to induce calcium phosphate (CAP) formation, followed by exposure to microwave radiation (MW). Coating the dental implants with CAP/TiNF provides a means of improving the biological properties, as the structure, morphology, and thickness of the composites can be controlled. The composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The composites were identified to be composed of aggregated nano-sized particles with sphere-like shapes, and the calcium phosphate demonstrated low crystallinity. The ability of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to adsorb on MW-treated CAP/TiNF composites was studied as a function of BSA concentration. The Sips isotherm was used to analyze the BSA adsorption on MW-treated CAP/TiNF composites. The MW-treated samples showed high protein adsorption capacity, thereby indicating their potential in various biomedical applications.

Project description:In this study the gene expression differences between two titanium surfaces produced at Maastricht University were investigated. These two surfaces were: flat titanium-coated polystyrene and a titanium-coated polystyrene surface imprinted with a pattern selected from an earlier screening study (Ti1018). This pattern was selected based on the osteoinductive properties observed. As a positive control cells on the flat surface were treated with dexamethasone.

Project description:Adsorption isotherms, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) were used to investigate the adsorption of human osteocalcin (hOC) and decarboxylated (i.e., Gla converted back to Glu) hOC (dhOC) onto various calcium phosphate surfaces as well as silica surfaces. The adsorption isotherms and XPS nitrogen signals were used to track the amount of adsorbed hOC and dhOC. The intensities of key ToF-SIMS amino acid fragments were used to assess changes in the structure of adsorbed hOC and dhOC. CD spectra were used to investigate the secondary structure of OC. The largest differences were observed when the proteins were adsorbed onto silica versus calcium phosphate surfaces. Similar amounts (3-4 at. % N) of hOC and dhOC were adsorbed onto the silica surface. Higher amounts of hOC and dhOC were adsorbed on all the calcium phosphate surfaces. The ToF-SIMS data showed that the intensity of the Cys amino acid fragment, normalized to intensity of all amino acid fragments, was significantly higher (∼×10) when the proteins were adsorbed onto silica. Since in the native OC structure the cysteines are located in the center of three α-helices, this indicates both hOC and dhOC are more denatured on the silica surface. As hOC and dhOC denature upon adsorption to the silica surface, the cysteines become more exposed and are more readily detected by ToF-SIMS. No significant differences were detected between hOC and dhOC adsorbed onto the silica surface, but small differences were observed between hOC and dhOC adsorbed onto the calcium phosphate surfaces. In the OC structure, the α-3 helix is located above the α-1 and α-2 helices. Small differences in the ToF-SIMS intensities from amino acid fragments characteristic of each helical unit (Asn for α-1; His for α-2; and Phe for α-3) suggests either slight changes in the orientation or a slight uncovering of the α-1 and α-2 for adsorbed dhOC. XPS showed that similar amounts of hOC and dhOC were absorbed onto hydroxyapaptite and octacalcium phosphate surfaces, but ToF-SIMS detected some small differences in the amino acid fragment intensities on these surfaces for adsorbed hOC and dhOC.

Project description:We propose a simple and low-cost process for the preparation of porous Ti foams through a sponge replication method using single-step air sintering at various temperatures. In this study, the apatite-forming ability of air-sintered Ti samples after 21 days of immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) was investigated. The microstructures of the prepared Ca-P deposits were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In contrast to the control sample sintered in vacuum, which was found to have the simple hexagonal α-Ti phase, the air-sintered samples contained only the rutile phase. High intensities of XRD peaks for rutile TiO₂ were obtained with samples sintered at 1000 °C. Moreover, the air-sintered Ti samples had a greater apatite-forming ability than that of the Ti sample sintered in vacuum. Ti samples sintered at 900 and 1000 °C had large aggregated spheroidal particles on their surfaces after immersion in SBF for 21 days. Combined XRD, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and TEM results suggest that the calcium phosphate deposited on the rutile TiO₂ surfaces consist of carbonated calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite instead of octacalcium phosphate.

Project description:The management of severe acetabular bone defects in revision reconstructive orthopedic surgery is challenging. In this study, cyclic precalcification (CP) treatment was used on both nanotube-surface Ti-mesh and a bone graft substitute for the acetabular defect model, and its effects were assessed in vitro and in vivo. Nanotube-Ti mesh coated with hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (HA/β-TCP) was manufactured by an anodizing and a sintering method, respectively. An 8 mm diameter defect was created on each acetabulum of eight rabbits, then treated by grafting materials and covered by Ti meshes. At four and eight weeks, postoperatively, biopsies were performed for histomorphometric analyses. The newly-formed bone layers under cyclic precalcified anodized Ti (CP-AT) meshes were superior with regard to the mineralized area at both four and eight weeks, as compared with that under untreated Ti meshes. Active bone regeneration at 2-4 weeks was stronger than at 6-8 weeks, particularly with treated biphasic ceramic (p < 0.05). CP improved the bioactivity of Ti meshes and biphasic grafting materials. Moreover, the precalcified nanotubular Ti meshes could enhance early contact bone formation on the mesh and, therefore, may reduce the collapse of Ti meshes into the defect, increasing the sufficiency of acetabular reconstruction. Finally, cyclic precalcification did not affect bone regeneration by biphasic grafting materials in vivo.

Project description:This study aims to improve the interfacial bonding between the osseous host tissue and the implant surface through the application of doped calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on 3D printed porous titanium. Porous titanium (Ti) cylinders with 25% volume porosity were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS™), a commercial 3D Printing technique. The surface of these 3D printed cylinders was modified by growing TiO2 nanotubes first, followed by a coating of with Sr2+ and Si4+ doped bioactive CaP ceramic in simulated body fluid (SBF). Doped CaP coated implants were hypothesized to show enhanced early stage bone tissue integration. Biological properties of these implants were investigated in vivo using a rat distal femur model after 4 and 10 weeks. CaP coated porous Ti implants have enhanced tissue ingrowth as was evident from the CT scan analysis, push out test results, and the histological analysis compared to porous implants with or without surface modification via titania nanotubes. Increased osteoid-like new bone formation and accelerated mineralization was revealed inside the CaP coated porous implants. It is envisioned that such an approach of adding a bioactive doped CaP layer on porous Ti surface can reduce healing time by enhancing early stage osseointegration in vivo.
