Parathyroid hormone-related protein (107-111) (osteostatin) induces osteogenic effects in osteoblasts in vitro and in regenerating bone in mice and rabbits. In this study we used osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell cultures to evaluate and compare the bioactivity of this peptide either adsorbed or covalently bound (by its C-terminus) to Si-doped hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) scaffolds after organic (-NH(2)) functionalization. By these means osteostatin can be locally released or kept anchored to the scaffold surface. This was confirmed by chemical analysis and by testing the efficiency of osteostatin-loaded Si-HA scaffolds (placed in Transwell chambers) in healing a scratch wound in mouse pluripotent mesenchymal C3H10T1/2 cells. Our results show that exposure of MC3T3-E1 cell monolayers to Si-HA scaffolds with both types of osteostatin coating (deliverable or immobilized), in contrast to those without peptide, similarly stimulated cell growth and matrix mineralization. These findings demonstrate that osteostatin release from Si-HA scaffolds is not essential to promote osteoblastic growth and function in vitro, and lend credence to considering osteostatin a bone regenerating factor.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on developing a dual-function bone repair scaffold that promotes bone growth while also being visible in imaging, achieved through the combination of silicon (Si) and gadolinium (Gd) in hydroxyapatite (HA).
  • Various HA nanoparticles were created with different Si and Gd proportions, and their properties were analyzed using techniques like FTIR and XRD.
  • The results indicated that the Gd&Si-HA/PLGA composite not only improved cell differentiation and bone mineralization but also produced observable effects in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), making it a promising material for bone tissue engineering.

BMP2-Mediated Silica Deposition: An Effective Strategy for Bone Mineralization.

The combined use of an osteogenic factor, such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), with a bone scaffold was quite functional for the reconstruction of bone defects. Although many studies using BMP2 have been done, there is still a need to develop an efficient way to apply BMP2 in the bone scaffold. Here, we reported an interesting fact that BMP2 has a silica deposition ability in the presence of silicic acid and proposed that such an ability of BMP2 can effectively immobilize and transport itself by a kind of coprecipitation of BMP2 with a silica matrix.

Biomaterials composed of polymers and bioceramics have great prospects to repair large and complicated bone defects. Here, we developed a composite film consisting of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) nanoparticles to enhance the osteogenic effects of the scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications. The results showed that the Si-HA nanoparticles obtained an even distribution in the PCL matrix, resulting in a homogeneous composite film.

3D silicon doped hydroxyapatite scaffolds decorated with Elastin-like Recombinamers for bone regenerative medicine.

Unlabelled: The current study reports on the manufacturing by rapid prototyping technique of three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds based on silicon substituted hydroxyapatite with Elastin-like Recombinamers (ELRs) functionalized surfaces. Silicon doped hydroxyapatite (Si-HA), with Ca(PO)(SiO)(OH)h nominal formula, was surface functionalized with two different types of polymers designed by genetic engineering: ELR-RGD that contain cell attachment specific sequences and ELR-SN15/RGD with both hydroxyapatite and cells domains that interact with the inorganic phase and with the cells, respectively. These hybrid materials were subjected to in vitro assays in order to clarify if the ELRs coating improved the well-known biocompatible and bone regeneration properties of calcium phosphates materials.
