Titanium Oxide Surface

Titanium (Ti) is a bone tissue replacement material with excellent mechanical properties. However, Ti has poor biological activity and lacks osseointegrative properties and may trigger inflammation and cause implantation failure. To address these issues, Ti surface modification has become a widely used method. In this study, using microarc oxidation (MAO) technology, a strontium-doped MAO coating was prepared on Ti surfaces in an electrolyte solution comprising calcium acetate, calcium glycerophosphate and strontium acetate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis (EDS) were used to analyze the tissue structure and elemental composition of the coating. The surface phase composition of the coating was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). We observed the proliferation of cells on the coating surface through in vitro cell experiments. The results showed the surface of the strontium-doped MAO coating is porous, and strontium is evenly distributed on the surface. The coating can promote the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and has good biological activity and thus, could potentially be applied to the surface of implants in clinical application.

The aim of this study was to investigate the response of osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-E1) to the surface of hydroxyapatite-containing glass coating on zirconia (HA-G-Zr) in comparison to yttria stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP). The MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured on HA-G-Zr and Y-TZP specimens in 24-well tissue culture plates. Surface properties were evaluated by X-ray diffractometry, Fourier tranfer infrared microscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cell proliferation in each well was measured by MTT assay. Cell morphology was observed by SEM. Cell differentiation was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteocalcin levels. After the glass coating on Y-TZP, X-ray diffraction peaks due to hydroxyapatite (HA) were observed clearly. HA-G-Zr appeared on surface of uneven and roughened state, wherein microcracks on the microns in width and many voids of several microns in size were present. Time-dependent proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells were found in all the specimens. MC3T3-E1 cells on HA-G-Zr plates showed higher differentiation than Y-TZP. These results demonstrated that HA-G-Zr showed better cellular biocompatibility than Y-TZP.

People are exposed to different kinds of diseases or various accidents in life. Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely employed for bone treatment applications. In this study, HA was extracted from sheep bones. Bio-composites were doped with 1, 5, and 10 wt.% of expanded perlite and 5 wt.% of ZrO2–MgO-P2O5. The bio-composites were prepared by the cold isostatic pressing method (250 MPa) and sintered at 900°C for 1 h. In order to evaluate the characteristics of the bio-composites, microhardness, density, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were carried out on them. Additionally, the specimens whose characteristics were determined were kept in synthetic body fluid (SBF), and their in vitro behavior was examined. As a result, it was observed that microhardness increased as both the weight and the grain size of the expanded perlite were increased. Calcium silicate, tri-calcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite were observed in the XRD analysis of all samples, and the formation of apatite structures was increased by addition of ZrO2–MgO–P2O5.

Channel Architecture

The ability to have precise control over internal channel architecture, porosity, and external shape is essential for tissue engineering. The feasibility of using indirect stereo-lithography (SL) to produce scaffolds from calcium phosphate cement materials for bone tissue engineering has been investigated. The internal channel architecture of the scaffolds was created by removal of the negative resin moulds made with SL. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed highly open, well-interconnected channel architecture. The X-ray diffraction examination revealed that the hydroxyapatite phase formed at room temperature in the cement was basically stable up to 850 °C. There was no phase decomposition of hydroxyapatite, although the crystallinity and grain size were different. The ability of resulting structure to support osteoblastic cells culture was tested in vitro. Cells were evenly distributed on exterior surfaces and grew into the internal channels of scaffolds. To exploit the ability of this technique, anatomically shaped femoral supracondylar scaffolds with 300-800 μm interconnected channels were produced and characterized.

Amelogenin Gene

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary disease with abnormal dental enamel formation. Here we report a Japanese family with X-linked AI transmitted over at least four generations. Mutation analysis revealed a novel mutation (p.P52R) in exon 5 of the amelogenin gene. The mutation was detected as heterozygous in affected females and as hemizygous in their affected father. The affected sisters exhibited vertical ridges on the enamel surfaces, whereas the affected father had thin, smooth, yellowish enamel with distinct widening of inter-dental spaces. To study the pathological cause underlying the disease in this family, we synthesized the mutant amelogenin p.P52R protein and evaluated it in vitro. Furthermore, we studied differences in the chemical composition between normal and affected teeth by x-ray diffraction analysis and x-ray fluorescence analysis. We believe that these results will greatly aid our understanding of the pathogenesis of X-linked AI.

Titanium alloys are superior of biocompatibility, mechanical properties and chemical stability. The biocompatibility of Ti alloy is related to the surface effect between human tissue and implant. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the bioactivity of Ti alloy by alkali and acid chemical surface treatment; and the biocompatibility of Ti alloy was evaluated by in vitro test. Higher bone-bonding ability and bioactivity of the substrate were obtained by the formation of apatite layers on the Ti alloy in simulated body fluid. The microstructures of apatite layer were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the formed phases were analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD).

This work aims to investigate the influence of surface conditioning of porous Ti for enhancing its biological activity, as assessed by in vitro stem cell testing. Porous Ti samples with an average porosity of 32% were processed by Powder Metallurgy with dextrin as a space holder. The samples were subjected to H2O2 treatment to form an enhanced TiO2 film, followed by a heat treatment at 400°C and 600°C aiming to the crystallization of the as-formed amorphous titanium oxide. Samples characterization was performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The treated surfaces revealed to be made of both anatase and rutile TiO2, with groove–shaped structure and cracks on the surface of the TiO2 film. The intrinsic biocompatibility of the chemically modified porous Ti surfaces was assessed in vitro. In our cell culture tests, stem cells were found to attach and proliferate better on the chemically treated Ti surfaces compared to the control untreated Ti surfaces.

Background and Objective: Beauvericin (BEA), a cyclic hexadepsipeptide mycotoxin, is a potent inhibitor of the acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase enzyme 1 (ACAT1) which involved in multiple tumor-correlated pathways. However, the binding mechanisms between BEA and ACAT1 were not elucidated. Methods: BEA was purified from a mangrove entophytic Fusarium sp. KL11. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to determine the structure of BEA. Wound healing assays of BEA against KB cell line and MDA-MB-231 cell line were evaluated. Inhibitory potency of BEA against ACAT1 was determined by ELISA assays. Molecular docking was carried out to illuminate the bonding mechanism between BEA and ACAT1. Results: The structure of BEA was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, indicating a monoclinic crystal system with P21 space group (α = 90°, β = 92.2216(9)o, γ= 90o). BEA displayed migration-inhibitory activities against KB cells and MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro. ELISA assays revealed the protein expression level of ACAT1 in KB cells was significantly decreased after BEA treatment (P ＜0.05). Molecular docking demonstrated that BEA formed hydrogen bond with His425 and pi-pi staking with Tyr429 in ACAT1. Conclusions: BEA sufficiently inhibited the proliferation and migration of KB cells and MDA-MB-231 cells by downregulating ACAT1 expression. In addition, BEA potentially possessed a strong binding affinity with ACAT1. BEA may serve as a potential lead compound for the development of a new ACAT1-targeted anticancer drug.

Sulfated derivatives of polysaccharides have anticoagulant, hypolipedimic and other biological activity. In this work, a complex mixed ester of galactomannan, its sulfate-citrate, was obtained for the first time. The introduction of citrate and sulfate groups was proved by FTIR spectroscopy by the appearance of corresponding absorption bands. It was shown by X-ray diffraction that the introduction of the citrate group leads to the amorphization of the galactomannan structure.

To study the effects of bicarbonate and magnesium on bone, mild acidosis and/or hypermagnesemia were produced in growing rats by feeding ammonium chloride and/or magnesium sulfate. Bone composition, quantitative histomorphometry, and mineral x-ray diffraction (XRD) characteristics were measured after 6 wk of treatment. The results demonstrated that both acidosis (decreased HCO3) and hypermagnesemia inhibited periosteal bone formation, and, when combined, results were summative; and the previously observed in vitro role of HCO3- and Mg2+ as inhibitors of crystal growth were confirmed in vivo. XRD measurements demonstrated that decreased plasma HCO3 resulted in larger crystals and increased Mg resulted in smaller crystals. However, the combined XRD effects of acidosis and hypermagnesemia resembled acidosis alone. It is postulated that the final composition and crystal structure of bone are strongly influenced by HCO3- and Mg2+, and the effects are mediated by the combined influence on both osteoblastic bone formation and the growth of hydroxyapatite.
