Different Types

AbstractSilicone-urethanes, polymers combining the characteristics of two widely used biomaterials, i.e. polyurethanes and silicones, are highly valued in many applications, including medical implants. To assess properties of these materials in contact with living cells, a set of different silicone-urethane materials, candidates for tissue engineering scaffolds, was synthesized and characterized. Two different oligomeric siloxane diols: Tegomer-2111 (Teg) and KF-6001 (KF), and two different types of diisocyanate, MDI and IPDI, were used in synthesis. Blood platelets adhesion to surfaces of selected materials showed a higher thrombogenicity of material based on Teg. Human fibroblasts were used in in vitro biocompatibility tests. The viability of cells cultured on silicone-urethanes was tested by XTT assay. Teg-based silicone-urethanes showed a significantly higher biocompatibility than those based on KF. Materials based on MDI compared to IPDI were found to be significantly more favoured by cells, not necessarily due to the type of diisocyanate but maybe also because of the necessity of using potentially toxic catalyst which accompanies the use of IPDI. Our studies indicate that silicone-urethanes are potent materials for tissue engineering products development. On the basis of the observations performed in cell culture, Tegomer- 2111 as oligomeric siloxane diol and MDI as diisocyanate are recommended as starting materials for silicone-urethane scaffolds synthesis.

Chemical Attributes

Three-dimensional (3D) porous alginate/soy protein isolated (Alg/SPI) tissue engineering scaffolds were achieved by freeze-drying. The physico-chemical attributes of the scaffolds including morphology, chemical structure, mechanical properties and in vitro cytotoxicity were investigated for different SPI blends. Results indicated that increasing SPI content to 40 wt% in the blends resulted in the partial existence of closed pores and reduced pore size. The mechanical values of the scaffolds under compression also reduced with increasing SPI in the blends. The addition of SPI did not significantly enhance the cell viability of the scaffolds investigated for in vitro culture with human fibroblasts, which remained in the high (90 – 100%) range. Results demonstrated that Alg/SPI scaffolds have potential for use as tissue engineering scaffolds.

A novel microsphere scaffolds composed of chitosan and β-TCP containing vancomycin was designed and prepared. The β-TCP/chitosan composite microspheres were prepared by solid-in-water-in-oil (s/w/o) emulsion cross-linking method with or without pre-cross-linking process. The mode of vancomycin maintaining in the β-TCP/chitosan composite microspheres was detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The in vitro release curve of vancomycin in simulated body fluid (SBF) was estimated. The results revealed that the pre-cross-linking prepared microspheres possessed higher loading efficiency (LE) and encapsulation efficiency (EE) especially decreasing the previous burst mass of vancomycin in incipient release. These composite microspheres got excellent sphere and well surface roughness in morphology. Vancomycin was encapsulated in composite microspheres through absorption and cross-linking. While in-vitro release curves illustrated that vancomycin release depond on diffusing firstly and then on the degradation ratio later. The microspheres loading with vancomycin would be to restore bone defect, meanwhile to inhibit bacterium proliferation. These bioactive, degradable composite microspheres have potential applications in 3D tissue engineering of bone and other tissues in vitro and in vivo.

In this study, novel graphene oxide–incorporated silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite composites were prepared and their potential use for bone tissue engineering was investigated by developing an electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffold. Nanocomposite groups were synthesized to have two different ratios of graphene oxide (2 and 4 wt%) to evaluate the effect of graphene oxide incorporation and groups with different silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite content was prepared to investigate optimum concentrations of both silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite and graphene oxide. Three-dimensional poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds were prepared by wet electrospinning and reinforced with silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite/graphene oxide nanocomposite groups to improve bone regeneration potency. Microstructural and chemical characteristics of the scaffolds were investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Protein adsorption and desorption on material surfaces were studied using fetal bovine serum. Presence of graphene oxide in the scaffold, dramatically increased the protein adsorption with decreased desorption. In vitro biocompatibility studies were conducted using human osteosarcoma cell line (Saos-2). Electrospun scaffold group that was prepared with effective concentrations of silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite and graphene oxide particles (poly(ε-caprolactone) – 10% silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite – 4% graphene oxide) showed improved adhesion, spreading, proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity compared to other scaffold groups.
