AbstractIn the previous studies, we have successfully developed a novel spiral structured nanofibrous scaffolds with improved osteoconductivity for bone tissue engineering. The spiral structure design facilitates the nutrient transport and waste removal, and allows uniform cellular growth and distribution within the scaffolds, thus enhanced the bioactivity of the scaffolds. In this chapter, HAP and BMP-2 were incorporated within the nanofibrous spiral scaffolds in order to enhance the osteoinductivity of the established system. The effect of the blending materials was evaluated through cell proliferation, cell differentiation of human osteoblast cells seeded on the scaffolds and cultured for 4 and 8 days. The results has demonstrated that the functionalization of PCL nanofibrous spiral scaffolds leads to higher ALP expression level and increased amount of mineralization level however lower cell proliferation rate.

Bone tissue engineering scaffold provides an effective treatment for bone defect repair. Biodegradable bone scaffold made of various synthetic and natural materials can be used as bone substitutes and grafts for defect site, which has great potential to support bone regeneration. Regulation of cell-scaffold material interactions is an important factor for modulating the cellular activity in bone tissue engineering scaffold applications. Thus, the hydrophilic, mechanical, and chemical properties of scaffold materials directly affect the results of bone regeneration and functional recovery. In this study, a poly-L-lysine (PLL) surface-modified poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/graphene oxide (GO) (PLL-PLGA/GO) hybrid fiber matrix was fabricated for bone tissue regeneration. Characterization of the resultant hybrid fiber matrices was done using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, and a material testing machine. According to the results obtained from the test above, the PLL-PLGA/GO hybrid fiber matrices exhibited high wettability and mechanical strength. The special surface characteristics of PLL-PLGA/GO hybrid fiber matrices were more beneficial for protein adsorption and inhibit the proliferation of pathogens. Moreover, the enhanced regulation of MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and differentiation was observed, when the resultant hybrid fiber matrices were combined with electrical stimulation (ES). The cellular response of MC3T3-E1 cells including cell adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium deposition, and osteogenesis-related gene expression was significantly enhanced with the synergistic effect of resultant hybrid fiber matrices and ES. These data indicate that the PLL-PLGA/GO hybrid fiber matrices supported the cellular response in terms of cell proliferation and osteogenesis differentiation in the presence of electrical stimulation, which could be a potential treatment for bone defect.

Osteogenesis and degradability of bioresorbable biphasic gypsum-carbonated apatite granules (BPG) were investigated. Three different sizes of gypsum, 300-600 μm (small), 600-1000 μm (medium) and 1000-2000 μm (large), denoted as S, M and L respectively, were developed through the crushing and sieving method. Exposure of gypsum granules in carbonate and phosphate sources formed BPG through dissolution and precipitation mechanism. BPG was firstly examined by X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) to confirm its phase and chemical composition respectively. In-vitro cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and adhesion of human osteoblast (hFOB) were investigated for osteogenesis evaluation. Degradability in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) was characterized by weight loss whereas apatite mineralization on the BPG surface was examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). BPG with 300-600 μm and 600-1000 μm enhanced osteogenic differentiation of hFOB and accelerated differentiation process better than 1000-2000 μm as indicated by cell proliferation and ALP activity. Good hFOB adhesion was observed on all BPG surfaces. The weight loss of L and M was 68% and 59%, respectively, which are higher than S at only 32%, indicating faster degradation of large BPG compared to smaller granules upon immersion for 35 days. This in turn, suggested the ionic dissolution of BPG which has contributed to the apatite formation on its surface. The results suggest, the BPG mimicked the bone matrix, exhibited good osteogenesis and degradability, which might be used as a potential candidate for bone tissue engineering.

In the bone tissue engineering composite scaffolds with osteogenic potential are emerging as the new tool. Here, we investigated the graphene (GP), graphene oxide (GO) andCissusquadrangularis(CQ) callus extract for their spontaneous osteoinductive potential. Electrospun poly ε-caprolactone (PCL) sheets were painted with varying combination GP, GO and CQ solutions as ink. The prepared PCL-GO, PCL-GO-CQ, PCL-GP and PCL-GP-CQ scaffolds were characterized for their physical, mechanical and biological properties. Addition of GO, GP, GO-CQ and GP-CQ to PCL enhanced roughness, wettability, Yield strength and tensile strength, biocompatibility .significantly. Presence of GO and CQ in PCL-GO-CQ scaffolds, while GP and CQ in PCL-GP-CQ scaffolds showed synergistic effect on the biocompatibility, Cell attachment,cell proliferation of human umbilical Wharton’s jelly derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) and their differentiation into osteoblasts by 21stday in culture without osteogenic differentiation media or any growth factors. Same is confirmed by the Alizarin red S staining and Von kossa staining. The combination of PCL-GO-CQ scaffold prepared by novel paint method was found to be the most potential in bone tissue engineering.
