Enhanced Differentiation of Human Preosteoblasts on Electrospun Blend Fiber Mats of Polydioxanone and Anionic Sulfated Polysaccharides.

ABSTRACT: The viability and differentiation of SaOS-2 preosteoblasts on fiber mats of blends comprising of the biodegradable poly(ester-ether) polydioxanone (PDX) and the sulfate-containing anionic polysaccharides kappa-carrageenan (KCG) and fucoidan (FUC) were investigated for a range of different blend compositions. The detailed analysis of the blend nanofiber properties revealed a different degree of miscibility of PDX and the polysaccharide leading to a different enrichment at the surface of the blend nanofibers, which were observed to be stable in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) for up to 5 weeks. The fibrous mats of PDX/FUC led to the highest osteogenic differentiation with very good cell viability. The electrospun blend fibers also supported human-induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and iPS cell-derived embryoid bodies with high cell viability, which underlines the potential of these novel blend fiber systems for optimized performance in bone tissue engineering applications.

Project description:Many surgical tendon repairs fail despite advances in surgical materials and techniques. Tendon repair failure can be partially attributed to the tendon's poor intrinsic healing capacity and the repurposing of sutures from other clinical applications. Electrospun materials show promise as a biological scaffold to support endogenous tendon repair, but their relatively low tensile strength has limited their clinical translation. It is hypothesized that combining electrospun fibers with a material with increased tensile strength may improve the suture's mechanical properties while retaining biophysical cues necessary to encourage cell-mediated repair. This article describes the production of a hybrid electrospun-extruded suture with a sheath of submicron electrospun fibers and a core of melt-extruded fibers. The porosity and tensile strength of this hybrid suture is compared with an electrospun-only braided suture and clinically used sutures Vicryl and polydioxanone (PDS). Bioactivity is assessed by measuring the adsorbed serum proteins on electrospun and melt-extruded filaments using mass spectrometry. Human hamstring tendon fibroblast attachment and proliferation were quantified and compared between the hybrid and control sutures. Combining an electrospun sheath with melt-extruded cores created a hybrid braid with increased tensile strength (70.1 ± 0.3N) compared with an electrospun only suture (12.9 ± 1 N, p < 0.0001). The hybrid suture had a similar force at break to clinical sutures, but lower stiffness and stress. The Young's modulus was 772.6 ± 32 MPa for the hybrid suture, 1693.0 ± 69 MPa for PDS, and 3838.0 ± 132 MPa for Vicryl, p < 0.0001. Hybrid sutures had lower overall porosity than electrospun-only sutures (40 ± 4% and 60 ± 7%, respectively, p = 0.0018) but had a significantly larger overall porosity and average pore diameter compared with surgical sutures. There were similar clusters of adsorbed proteins on electrospun and melt-extruded filaments, which were distinct from PDS. Tendon fibroblast attachment and cell proliferation on hybrid and electrospun sutures were significantly higher than on clinical sutures. This study demonstrated that a bioactive suture with increased tensile strength and lower stiffness could be produced by adding a core of 10 μm melt-extruded fibers to a sheath of electrospun fibers. In contrast to currently used sutures, the hybrid sutures promoted a bioactive response: serum proteins adsorbed, and fibroblasts attached, survived, grew along the sutures, and adopted appropriate morphologies.
