Guiding bone formation using semi-onlay calcium phosphate implants in an ovine calvarial model.

ABSTRACT: The restoration of cranio-maxillofacial deformities often requires complex reconstructive surgery in a challenging anatomical region, with abnormal soft tissue structures and bony deficits. In this proof-of-concept, the possibility of vertical bone augmentation was explored by suspending hemispherically shaped titanium-reinforced porous calcium phosphate (CaP) implants (n = 12) over the frontal bone in a sheep model (n = 6). The animals were euthanized after week 13 and the specimens were subject to micro-computed tomography (μCT) and comprehensive histological analysis. Histology showed that the space between implant and the recipient bone was filled with a higher percentage of newly formed bone (NFB) versus soft tissue with a median of 53% and 47%, respectively. Similar results were obtained from the μ-CT analysis, with a median of 56% NFB and 44% soft tissue filling the void. Noteworthy, significantly higher bone-implant contact was found for the CaP (78%, range 14%-94%) versus the Titanium (29%, range 0%-75%) portion of the implant exposed to the surrounding bone. The histological analysis indicates that the CaP replacement by bone is driven by macrophages over time, emphasized by material-filled macrophages found in close vicinity to the CaP with only a small number of single osteoclasts found actively remodeling the NFB. This study shows that CaP based implants can be assembled with the help of additive manufacturing to guide vertical bone formation without decortification or administration of growth factors. Furthermore, it highlights the potential disadvantage of a seamless fit between the implant and the recipient's bone.

Fibroblasts Mediate Ectopic Bone Formation of Calcium Phosphate Ceramics.

Project description:Heterogeneity of fibroblasts directly affects the outcome of tissue regeneration; however, whether bioactive ceramics regulate bone regeneration through fibroblasts is unclear. Ectopic bone formation model with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) implantation was used to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of fibroblasts around ceramics. The effect of BCP on L929 fibroblasts was evaluated by EdU assay, transwell assay, and qRT-PCR. Further, the effect of its conditioned medium on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was confirmed by ALP staining. SEM and XRD results showed that BCP contained abundant micro- and macro-pores and consisted of hydrogen-apatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) phases. Subsequently, BCP implanted into mice muscle successfully induced osteoblasts and bone formation. Fibroblasts labelled by vimentin gathered around BCP at 7 days and peaked at 14 days post implantation. In vitro, BCP inhibited proliferation of L929 fibroblast but promoted its migration. Moreover, expression of Col1a1, Bmp2, and Igf1 in L929 treated by BCP increased significantly while expression of Tgfb1 and Acta did not change. ALP staining further showed conditioned media from L929 fibroblasts treated by BCP could enhance osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In conclusion, fibroblasts mediate ectopic bone formation of calcium phosphate ceramics.

Tailored Three-Dimensionally Printed Triply Periodic Calcium Phosphate Implants: A Preclinical Study for Craniofacial Bone Repair.

Project description:Finding alternative strategies for the regeneration of craniofacial bone defects (CSD), such as combining a synthetic ephemeral calcium phosphate (CaP) implant and/or active substances and cells, would contribute to solving this reconstructive roadblock. However, CaP's architectural features (i.e., architecture and composition) still need to be tailored, and the use of processed stem cells and synthetic active substances (e.g., recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2) drastically limits the clinical application of such approaches. Focusing on solutions that are directly transposable to the clinical setting, biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) 3D-printed disks with a triply periodic minimal structure (TPMS) were implanted in calvarial critical-sized defects (rat model) with or without addition of total bone marrow (TBM). Bone regeneration within the defect was evaluated, and the outcomes were compared to a standard-care procedure based on BCP granules soaked with TBM (positive control). After 7 weeks, de novo bone formation was significantly greater in the CHA disks + TBM group than in the positive controls (3.33 mm3 and 2.15 mm3, respectively, P=0.04). These encouraging results indicate that both CHA and TPMS architectures are potentially advantageous in the repair of CSDs and that this one-step procedure warrants further clinical investigation.

Vancomycin-laden calcium phosphate-calcium sulfate composite allows bone formation in a rat infection model.

Project description:ObjectiveLocal antibiotic delivery systems with differing chemical and mechanical properties have been developed to assist in the management of osteomyelitis. We investigated the bone conductive and resorptive capabilities of a calcium phosphate-calcium sulfate (CaP/CaS) composite compared with commercially available polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). In addition, we compared the in vivo preventative and treatment efficacies of both biomaterials in a proven osteomyelitis model.MethodsSixty-four, male Sprague-Dawley rats were inoculated with 10 μl of 1.5 x 108 CFU/ml of Staphylococcus aureus in a surgically drilled defect in the right proximal tibia. Infected animals were randomly allocated into prevention and treatment groups with 32 rats each. In the prevention group, the defect was filled with a plug containing either PMMA or CaP/CaS immediately after the inoculation. In the treatment group, the infected defects were irrigated, debrided, and filled with either a PMMA or CaP/CaS plug. Both CaP/CaS and PMMA were impregnated with 10% weight of vancomycin. Rats were sacrificed 6 weeks after cement insertion. Infection was detected by bacterial culture and histological analysis. Bone formation in the defect was assessed with micro-computed tomography and histology.ResultsNo bacteria were detected in any group. Both the prevention and treatment groups using CaP/CaS had significantly more bone volume fraction, bone area, and cartilage area than the PMMA groups.ConclusionsWhen loaded with 10% of vancomycin, CaP/CaS and PMMA have the same efficacy for treatment and prevention of osteomyelitis. CaP/CaS enhances bone defect healing through improved bone remodeling in our osteomyelitis rat model.

The role of intracellular calcium phosphate in osteoblast-mediated bone apatite formation.

Project description:Mineralization is a ubiquitous process in the animal kingdom and is fundamental to human development and health. Dysfunctional or aberrant mineralization leads to a variety of medical problems, and so an understanding of these processes is essential to their mitigation. Osteoblasts create the nano-composite structure of bone by secreting a collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) on which apatite crystals subsequently form. However, despite their requisite function in building bone and decades of observations describing intracellular calcium phosphate, the precise role osteoblasts play in mediating bone apatite formation remains largely unknown. To better understand the relationship between intracellular and extracellular mineralization, we combined a sample-preparation method that simultaneously preserved mineral, ions, and ECM with nano-analytical electron microscopy techniques to examine osteoblasts in an in vitro model of bone formation. We identified calcium phosphate both within osteoblast mitochondrial granules and intracellular vesicles that transported material to the ECM. Moreover, we observed calcium-containing vesicles conjoining mitochondria, which also contained calcium, suggesting a storage and transport mechanism. Our observations further highlight the important relationship between intracellular calcium phosphate in osteoblasts and their role in mineralizing the ECM. These observations may have important implications in deciphering both how normal bone forms and in understanding pathological mineralization.

Repair calvarial defect of osteoporotic rats by berberine functionalized porous calcium phosphate scaffold.

Project description:In this article, we propose a simple scheme of using berberine (BBR) to modify porous calcium phosphate ceramics (named PCPC). These BBR molecules regulate the crystallization of hydroxyapatite nanorods on PCPC. We found that these nanorods and the adsorbed BBR changed the interface micro-environment of PCPC by SEM images. The microenvironment of PCPC surface is essential for promoting BMSCs' proliferation and differentiation. These results demonstrated that PCPC/BBR markedly improved the bone regeneration of osteoporosis rats. Moreover, PCPC/BBR had significantly increased the expression levels of ALP, osteocalcin and bone morphogenetic protein2 and RUNX2 in BMSCs originated from osteoporosis rats.

Optimal regenerative repair of large segmental bone defect in a goat model with osteoinductive calcium phosphate bioceramic implants.

Project description:So far, how to achieve the optimal regenerative repair of large load-bearing bone defects using artificial bone grafts is a huge challenge in clinic. In this study, a strategy of combining osteoinductive biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bioceramic scaffolds with intramedullary nail fixation for creating stable osteogenic microenvironment was applied to repair large segmental bone defects (3.0 cm in length) in goat femur model. The material characterization results showed that the BCP scaffold had the initial compressive strength of over 2.0 MPa, and total porosity of 84%. The cell culture experiments demonstrated that the scaffold had the excellent ability to promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The in vivo results showed that the intramedullary nail fixation maintained the initial stability and structural integrity of the implants at early stage, promoting the osteogenic process both guided and induced by the BCP scaffolds. At 9 months postoperatively, good integration between the implants and host bone was observed, and a large amount of newborn bones formed, accompanying with the degradation of the material. At 18 months postoperatively, almost the complete new bone substitution in the defect area was achieved. The maximum bending strength of the repaired bone defects reached to the 100% of normal femur at 18 months post-surgery. Our results demonstrated the good potential of osteoinductive BCP bioceramics in the regenerative repair of large load-bearing bone defects. The current study could provide an effective method to treat the clinical large segmental bone defects.

Antibacterial Electrodeposited Copper-Doped Calcium Phosphate Coatings for Dental Implants.

Project description:Dental implants provide a good solution for the replacement of tooth roots. However, the full restoration of tooth functions relies on the bone-healing period before positioning the abutment and the crown on the implant, with the associated risk of post-operative infection. This study aimed at developing a homogeneous and adherent thin calcium phosphate antibacterial coating on titanium dental implants by electrodeposition to favor both implant osseointegration and to limit peri-implantitis. By combining global (XRD, FTIR-ATR, elemental titration) and local (SEM, Raman spectroscopy on the coating surface and thickness) characterization techniques, we determined the effect of electrodeposition time on the characteristics and phases content of the coating and the associated mechanism of its formation. The 1-min-electrodeposited CaP coating (thickness: 2 ± 1 μm) was mainly composed of nano-needles of octacalcium phosphate. We demonstrated its mechanical stability after screwing and unscrewing the dental implant in an artificial jawbone. Then, we showed that we can reach a high copper incorporation rate (up to a 27% Cu/(Cu+Ca) molar ratio) in this CaP coating by using an ionic exchange post-treatment with copper nitrate solution at different concentrations. The biological properties (antibiofilm activity and cytotoxicity) were tested in vitro using a model of mixed bacteria biofilm mimicking peri-implantitis and the EN 10993-5 standard (direct contact), respectively. An efficient copper-doping dose was determined, providing an antibiofilm property to the coating without cytotoxic side effects. By combining the electrodeposition and copper ionic exchange processes, we can develop an antibiofilm calcium phosphate coating on dental implants with a tunable thickness and phases content.

Inkjet-based biopatterning of bone morphogenetic protein-2 to spatially control calvarial bone formation.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to demonstrate spatial control of osteoblast differentiation in vitro and bone formation in vivo using inkjet bioprinting technology and to create three-dimensional persistent bio-ink patterns of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and its modifiers immobilized within microporous scaffolds. Semicircular patterns of BMP-2 were printed within circular DermaMatrix human allograft scaffold constructs. The contralateral halves of the constructs were unprinted or printed with BMP-2 modifiers, including the BMP-2 inhibitor, noggin. Printed bio-ink pattern retention was validated using fluorescent or (125)I-labeled bio-inks. Mouse C2C12 progenitor cells cultured on patterned constructs differentiated in a dose-dependent fashion toward an osteoblastic fate in register to BMP-2 patterns. The fidelity of spatial restriction of osteoblastic differentiation at the boundary between neighboring BMP-2 and noggin patterns improved in comparison with patterns without noggin. Acellular DermaMatrix constructs similarly patterned with BMP-2 and noggin were then implanted into a mouse calvarial defect model. Patterns of bone formation in vivo were comparable with patterned responses of osteoblastic differentiation in vitro. These results demonstrate that three-dimensional biopatterning of a growth factor and growth factor modifier within a construct can direct cell differentiation in vitro and tissue formation in vivo in register to printed patterns.

BMP2-coprecipitated calcium phosphate granules enhance osteoinductivity of deproteinized bovine bone, and bone formation during critical-sized bone defect healing.

Project description:Most materials used clinically for filling critical-sized bone defects (CSBD), such as deproteinized bovine bone (DBB), lack osteoinductivity so that their therapeutic effects are far from satisfactory. The effect of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2)-coprecipitated biomimetic calcium phosphate granules (BMP2-cop.BioCaP) on osteoinduction of DBB graft(s) during CSBD healing is still unknown. We investigated whether BMP2-cop.BioCaP affects the osteoinductivity of DBB, bone formation, and foreign body reaction during CSBD healing. DBB + BMP2-cop.BioCaP, DBB, DBB + BMP2, DBB + BioCaP, and autologous bone grafts were implanted in the CSBD of sheep. Bone formation, DBB/BioCaP degradability, foreign body reaction, and osteoinductivity of DBB were analyzed histologically and histomorphometrically at week 4 and 8. Combination of BMP2-cop.BioCaP and DBB healed CSBD as effectively as autologous bone grafts. About 95% of the BMP2-cop.BioCaP had been degraded and replaced by new bone at week 8 in the DBB + BMP2-cop.BioCaP-group. Foreign body reaction was reduced in the DBB + BMP2-cop.BioCaP-group compared to the other groups. The independent use of the BMP2-cop.BioCaP did not achieve a satisfactory bone repair. In conclusion, the BMP2-cop.BioCaP showed good degradability and biocompatibility, and enhanced osteoinductivity of DBB during CSBD healing in sheep, suggesting BMP2-cop.BioCaP as a potential osteoinducer to enhance the therapeutic effects of the graft materials in clinic.

Nanopatterned Titanium Implants Accelerate Bone Formation In Vivo.

Project description:Accelerated de novo formation of bone is a highly desirable aim of implants targeting musculoskeletal injuries. To date, this has primarily been addressed by biologic factors. However, there is an unmet need for robust, highly reproducible yet economic alternative strategies that strongly induce an osteogenic cell response. Here, we present a surface engineering method of translating bioactive nanopatterns from polymeric in vitro studies to clinically relevant material for orthopedics: three-dimensional, large area metal. We use a titanium-based sol-gel whereby metal implants can be engineered to induce osteoinduction both in vitro and in vivo. We show that controlled disordered nanotopographies presented as pillars with 15-25 nm height and 100 nm diameter on titanium dioxide effectively induce osteogenesis when seeded with STRO-1-enriched human skeletal stem cells in vivo subcutaneous implantation in mice. After 28 days, samples were retrieved, which showed a 20-fold increase in osteogenic gene induction of nanopatterned substrates, indicating that the sol-gel nanopatterning method offers a promising route for translation to future clinical orthopedic implants.
