TiO₂ Nanotubes Promote Osteogenic Differentiation Through Regulation of Yap and Piezo1.

ABSTRACT: Surface modification of titanium has been a hot topic to promote bone integration between implants and bone tissue. Titanium dioxide nanotubes fabricated on the surface of titanium by anodic oxidation have been a mature scheme that has shown to promote osteogenesis in vitro. However, mechanisms behind such a phenomenon remain elusive. In this study, we verified the enhanced osteogenesis of BMSCs on nanotopographic titanium in vitro and proved its effect in vivo by constructing a bone defect model in rats. In addition, the role of the mechanosensitive molecule Yap is studied in this research by the application of the Yap inhibitor verteporfin and knockdown/overexpression of Yap in MC3T3-E1 cells. Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel discovered in recent years and found to be elemental in bone metabolism. In our study, we preliminarily figured out the regulatory relationship between Yap and Piezo1 and proved Piezo1 as a downstream effector of Yap and nanotube-stimulated osteogenesis. In conclusion, this research proved that nanotopography promoted osteogenesis by increasing nuclear localization of Yap and activating the expression of Piezo1 downstream.

Project description:One of the major challenges of implantology is to design nanoscale modifications of titanium implant surfaces inducing osseointegration. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of rat osteoblasts cultured on anodized TiO2 nanotubes of different crystallinity (amorphous and anatase phase) up to 24 days. TiO2 nanotubes were fabricated on VT1-0 titanium foil via a two-step anodization at 20 V using NH4F as an electrolyte. Anatase-phase samples were prepared by heat treatment at 500 °C for 1 h. VT1-0 samples with flat surfaces were used as controls. Primary rat osteoblasts were seeded over experimental surfaces for several incubation times. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze tested surfaces and cell morphology. Cell adhesion and proliferation were investigated by cell counting. Osteogenic differentiation of cells was evaluated by qPCR of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteopontin (OPN), integrin binding sialoprotein (IBSP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN). Cell adhesion and proliferation, cell morphology and the expression of osteogenic markers were affected by TiO2 nanotube layered substrates of amorphous and anatase crystallinity. In comparison with flat titanium, along with increased cell adhesion and cell growth a large portion of osteoblasts grown on the both nanostructured surfaces exhibited an osteocyte-like morphology as early as 48 h of culture. Moreover, the expression of all tested osteogenic markers in cells cultured on amorphous and anatase TiO2 nanotubes was upregulated at least at one of the analyzed time points. To summarize, we demonstrated that amorphous and anodized TiO2 layered substrates are highly biocompatible with rat osteoblasts and that the surface modification with about 1500 nm length nanotubes of 35 ± 4 (amorphous phase) and 41 ± 8 nm (anatase phase) in diameter is sufficient to induce their osteogenic differentiation. Such results are significant to the engineering of coating strategies for orthopedic implants aimed to establish a more efficient bone to implant contact and enhance bone repair.
