Chitosan-coated pore wall polycaprolactone three-dimensional porous scaffolds fabricated by porogen leaching method for bone tissue engineering: a comparative study on blending technique to fabricate scaffolds.

ABSTRACT: One of the significant challenges in the fabrication of scaffolds for tissue engineering lies in the direct interaction of bioactive agents with cells in the scaffolds matrix, which curbs the effectiveness of bioactive agents resulting in diminished cell recognition and attachment ability of the scaffolds. Here, three-dimensional porous scaffolds were fabricated using polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitosan, by two approaches, i.e., blending and surface coating to compare their overall effectiveness. Blended scaffolds (Chi-PCL) were compared with the scaffolds fabricated using surface coating technique, where chitosan was coated on the pore wall of PCL scaffolds (C-PCL). The C-PCL exhibited a collective improvement in bioactivities of the stem cell on the scaffold, because of the cell compatible environment provided by the presence of chitosan over the scaffolds interface. The C-PCL showed the enhanced cell attachment and proliferation behavior of the scaffolds along with two-fold increase in hemolysis compatibility compared to Chi-PCL. Furthermore, the compression strength in C-PCL increased by 24.52% and 8.62% increase in total percentage porosity compared to Chi-PCL was attained. Along with this, all the bone markers showed significant upregulation in C-PCL scaffolds, which supported the surface coating technique over the conventional methods, even though the pore size of C-PCL was compromised by 19.98% compared with Chi-PCL.

Engineering Porous Poly(lactic acid) Scaffolds with High Mechanical Performance via a Solid State Extrusion/Porogen Leaching Approach.

Project description:A knotty issue concerning the poor mechanical properties exists in the porogen leaching approach to porous scaffolds, despite its advantage in tuning pore structure. To address this hurdle, solid state extrusion (SSE) combined with porogen leaching was utilized to engineer porous scaffolds of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Advances introduced by poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) caused the PLA ductile to be processed and, on the other hand, enabled the formation of interconnected pores. Thus, a well-interconnected porous architecture with high connectivity exceeding 97% and elevated porosity over 60% was obtained in the as-prepared PLA scaffolds with the composition of NaCl higher than 75.00 wt % and PEG beyond 1.25 wt %. More strikingly, the pore walls of macropores encompassed countless micropores and rough surface topography, in favor of transporting nutrients and metabolites as well as cell attachment. The prominent compressive modulus of the PLA scaffolds was in the range of 85.7⁻207.4 MPa, matching the normal modulus of human trabecular bone (50⁻250 MPa). By means of alkaline modification to improve hydrophilicity, biocompatible porous PLA scaffolds exhibited good cell attachment. These results suggest that the SSE/porogen leaching approach provides an eligible clue for fabricating porous scaffolds with high mechanical performance for use as artificial extracellular matrices.

Data for accelerated degradation of calcium phosphate surface-coated polycaprolactone and polycaprolactone/bioactive glass composite scaffolds.

Project description:Polycaprolactone (PCL)-based composite scaffolds containing 50 wt% of 45S5 bioactive glass (45S5) or strontium-substituted bioactive glass (SrBG) particles were fabricated into scaffolds using melt-extrusion based additive manufacturing technique. Additionally, the PCL scaffolds were surface coated with a layer of calcium phosphate (CaP). For a comparison of the scaffold degradation, the scaffolds were then subjected to in vitro accelerated degradation by immersion in 5 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution for up to 7 days. The scaffold׳s morphology was observed by means of SEM imaging and scaffold mass loss was recorded over the experimental period.

Sustainable drug release from polycaprolactone coated chitin-lignin gel fibrous scaffolds.

Project description:Non-healing wounds have placed an enormous stress on both patients and healthcare systems worldwide. Severe complications induced by these wounds can lead to limb amputation or even death and urgently require more effective treatments. Electrospun scaffolds have great potential for improving wound healing treatments by providing controlled drug delivery. Previously, we developed fibrous scaffolds from complex carbohydrate polymers [i.e. chitin-lignin (CL) gels]. However, their application was limited by solubility and undesirable burst drug release. Here, a coaxial electrospinning is applied to encapsulate the CL gels with polycaprolactone (PCL). Presence of a PCL shell layer thus provides longer shelf-life for the CL gels in a wet environment and sustainable drug release. Antibiotics loaded into core-shell fibrous platform effectively inhibit both gram-positive and -negative bacteria without inducting observable cytotoxicity. Therefore, PCL coated CL fibrous gel platforms appear to be good candidates for controlled drug release based wound dressing applications.

Comparison of Scaffolds Fabricated via 3D Printing and Salt Leaching: In Vivo Imaging, Biodegradation, and Inflammation.

Project description:In this work, we prepared fluorescently labeled poly(ε-caprolactone-ran-lactic acid) (PCLA-F) as a biomaterial to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds via salt leaching and 3D printing. The salt-leached PCLA-F scaffold was fabricated using NaCl and methylene chloride, and it had an irregular, interconnected 3D structure. The printed PCLA-F scaffold was fabricated using a fused deposition modeling printer, and it had a layered, orthogonally oriented 3D structure. The printed scaffold fabrication method was clearly more efficient than the salt leaching method in terms of productivity and repeatability. In the in vivo fluorescence imaging of mice and gel permeation chromatography of scaffolds removed from rats, the salt-leached PCLA scaffolds showed slightly faster degradation than the printed PCLA scaffolds. In the inflammation reaction, the printed PCLA scaffolds induced a slightly stronger inflammation reaction due to the slower biodegradation. Collectively, we can conclude that in vivo biodegradability and inflammation of scaffolds were affected by the scaffold fabrication method.

Improved Bacteriostatic and Anticorrosion Effects of Polycaprolactone/Chitosan Coated Magnesium via Incorporation of Zinc Oxide.

Project description:Magnesium has been recognized as a groundbreaking biodegradable biomaterial for implant applications, but its use is limited because it degrades too quickly in physiological solutions. This paper describes the research on the influence of polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan (CS)/zinc oxide (ZnO) composite coating (PCL/CS/ZnO) on the corrosion resistance and antibacterial activity of magnesium. The PCL/CS film presented a porous structure with thickness of about 40-50 μm, while after incorporation of ZnO into the PCL/CS, a homogenous film without pores and defects was attained. The ZnO embedded in PCL/CS enhanced corrosion resistance by preventing corrosive ions diffusion in the magnesium substrate. The corrosion, antibacterial, and cell interaction mechanism of the PCL/CS/ZnO composite coating is discussed in this study. In vitro cell culture revealed that the PCL/CS coating with low loaded ZnO significantly improved cytocompatibility, but coatings with high loaded ZnO were able to induce some cytotoxicity osteoblastic cells. It was also found that enhanced antibacterial activity of the PCL/CS/ZnO coating against both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria, while less significant antibacterial activity was detected for uncoated Mg and PCL/CS coating. Based on the results, the PCL/CS coatings loaded with low ZnO content may be recommended as a candidate material for biodegradable Mg-based orthopedic implant applications.

Characterization and osteogenic evaluation of mesoporous magnesium-calcium silicate/polycaprolactone/polybutylene succinate composite scaffolds fabricated by rapid prototyping.

Project description:The properties of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, including their biocompatibility, highly interconnected porosity, and mechanical integrity, are critical for promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteoinduction. We used various physical and biological assays to obtain in vitro confirmation that the proposed composite scaffolds are potentially suitable for applications to bone tissue engineering. The proposed new composite scaffolds, which we fabricated by a rapid prototyping technique, were composed of mesoporous magnesium-calcium silicate (m_MCS), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polybutylene succinate (PBSu). We systematically evaluated the characteristics of the composite scaffolds, such as the hydrophilicity and bioactivity. We also investigated the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) scaffolded on the m_MCS/PCL/PBSu composite. Our results showed that, compared to the m_MCS/PCL scaffold, the m_MCS/PCL/PBSu scaffold has improved water absorption, in vitro degradability, biocompatibility, and bioactivity in simulated body fluid, while its mechanical strength is reduced. Moreover, the results of the cytotoxicity tests specified in ISO 10993-12 and ISO 10993-5 clearly indicate that the m_MCS/PCL scaffold is not toxic to cells. In addition, we obtained significant increases in initial cell attachment and improvements to the osteogenic MSC differentiation by replacing the m_MCS/PCL scaffold with the m_MCS/PCL/PBSu scaffold. Our results indicate that the m_MCS/PCL/PBSu scaffold achieves enhanced bioactivity, degradability, cytocompatibility, and osteogenesis. As such, this scaffold is a potentially promising candidate for use in stem cell-based bone tissue engineering.

(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate-loaded polycaprolactone scaffolds fabricated using a 3D integrated moulding method alleviate immune stress and induce neurogenesis.

Project description:ObjectivesIn peripheral neuropathy, the underlying mechanisms of nerve and muscle degeneration include chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in fibrotic tissues. (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a major, active component in green tea and may scavenge free radical oxygen and attenuate inflammation. Conservative treatments such as steroid injection only deal with early, asymptomatic, peripheral neuropathy. In contrast, neurolysis and nerve conduit implantation work effectively for treating advanced stages.Materials and methodsAn EGCG-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL) porous scaffold was fabricated using an integrated moulding method. We evaluated proliferative, oxidative and inflammatory activity of rat Schwann cells (RSCs) and rat skeletal muscle cells (RSMCs) cultured on different scaffolds in vitro. In a rat radiation injury model, we assessed the morphological, electrophysiological and functional performance of regenerated sciatic nerves and gastrocnemius muscles, as well as oxidative stress and inflammation state.ResultsRSCs and RSMCs exhibited higher proliferative, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory states in an EGCG/PCL scaffold. In vivo studies showed improved nerve and muscle recovery in the EGCG/PCL group, with increased nerve myelination and muscle fibre proliferation and reduced macrophage infiltration, lipid peroxidation, inflammation and oxidative stress indicators.ConclusionsThe EGCG-modified PCL porous nerve scaffold alleviates cellular oxidative stress and repairs peripheral nerve and muscle structure in rats. It attenuates oxidative stress and inflammation in vivo and may provide further insights into peripheral nerve repair in the future.

Evaluation of 3D-Printed Polycaprolactone Scaffolds Coated with Freeze-Dried Platelet-Rich Plasma for Bone Regeneration.

Project description:Three-dimensional printing is one of the most promising techniques for the manufacturing of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. However, a pure scaffold is limited by its biological properties. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to have the potential to improve the osteogenic effect. In this study, we improved the biological properties of scaffolds by coating 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds with freeze-dried and traditionally prepared PRP, and we evaluated these scaffolds through in vitro and in vivo experiments. In vitro, we evaluated the interaction between dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and the scaffolds by measuring cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and osteogenic differentiation. The results showed that freeze-dried PRP significantly enhanced ALP activity and the mRNA expression levels of osteogenic genes (ALP, RUNX2 (runt-related gene-2), OCN (osteocalcin), OPN (osteopontin)) of DPSCs (p < 0.05). In vivo, 5 mm calvarial defects were created, and the PRP-PCL scaffolds were implanted. The data showed that compared with traditional PRP-PCL scaffolds or bare PCL scaffolds, the freeze-dried PRP-PCL scaffolds induced significantly greater bone formation (p < 0.05). All these data suggest that coating 3D-printed PCL scaffolds with freeze-dried PRP can promote greater osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and induce more bone formation, which may have great potential in future clinical applications.

β-Carotene: a natural osteogen to fabricate osteoinductive electrospun scaffolds.

Project description:β-Carotene (βC) as a natural osteogenic material was incorporated in PCL electrospun mats to fabricate scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. These scaffolds successfully supported the attachment and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Seeded scaffolds were calcinated during 21 days of cell culture in a non-differential medium, which showed the osteodifferentiation of MSCs. Expression of RUNX2, SOX9, and osteonectin proved the osteoinductive effect of incorporated β-carotene on the differentiation of MSCs to osteoblasts without using any external osteogenic differential agent. However, the cells did not pass the early phase of osteogenesis and were still osteochondro-progenitor after 21 days of incubation. Thus, the fabricated fibrous scaffolds are potential candidates for direct bone tissue engineering.
