Processing and cytocompatibility of Cu-doped and undoped fluoride-containing bioactive glasses
(2024)
Sintered or additive-manufactured bioactive glass (BG) scaffolds are highly interesting for bone replacement applications. However, crystallization often limits the high-temperature processability of bioactive glasses (BGs). Thus, the BG composition must combine high bioactivity and processability. In this study, three BGs with nominal molar (%) compositions 54.6SiO2-1.7P2O3-22.1CaO-6.0Na2O-7.9K2O-7.7MgO (13–93), 44.8SiO2-2.5P2O3-36.5CaO-6.6Na2O-6.6K2O-3.0CaF2 (F3) and 44.8SiO2-2.5P2O3-35.5CaO-6.6Na2O-6.6K2O-3.0CaF2-1.0CuO (F3–Cu) were investigated. The dissolution and ion release kinetics were investigated on milled glass powder and crystallized particles (500–600 μm). All glasses showed the precipitation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals after 7 days of immersion in simulated body fluid. No significant differences in ion release from glass and crystalline samples were detected. The influence of surface roughness on cytocompatibility and growth of preosteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) was investigated on sintered and polished BG pellets. Results showed that sintered BG pellets were cytocompatible, and cells were seen to be well attached and spread on the surface after 5 days of incubation. The results showed an inverse relation of cell viability with the surface roughness of pellets, and cells were seen to attach and spread along the direction of scratches.
A novel biomaterial comprising alginate dialdehyde-gelatine (ADA-GEL) hydrogel augmented by lysozyme loaded mesoporous cerium doped silica-calcia nanoparticles (Lys-Ce-MSNs) is 3D printed to create bioactive scaffolds. Lys-Ce-MSNs raise the mechanical stiffness of the hydrogel composite scaffold and induce surface apatite mineralization, when the scaffold is immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF). Moreover, the scaffolds can co-deliver bone healing (Ca and Si) and antioxidant ions (Ce), and Lys to achieve antibacterial (and potentially anticancer) properties. The nanocomposite hydrogel scaffolds can hold and deliver Lys steadily. Based on the in vitro results, the hydrogel nanocomposite containing Lys assured improved pre-osteoblast cell (MC3T3-E1) proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation, thanks to the biocompatibility of ADA-GEL, bioactivity of Ce-MSNs, and the stabilizing effect of Lys on the scaffold structure. On the other hand, the proliferation level of MG63 osteosarcoma cells decreased, likely due to the effect of Lys. Last but not least, cooperatively, alongside gentamicin (GEN), Lys brought about a proper antibacterial efficiency to the hydrogel nanocomposite scaffold against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Taken together, ADA-GEL/Lys-Ce-MSN nanocomposite holds great promise for 3D printing of multifunctional hydrogel bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds, able to induce bone regeneration, address infection, and potentially inhibit tumor formation and growth.
3D printing enables a better control over the microstructure of bone restoring constructs, addresses the challenges seen in the preparation of patient-specific bone scaffolds, and overcomes the bottlenecks that can appear in delivering drugs/growth factors promoting bone regeneration. Here, 3D printing is employed for the fabrication of an osteogenic construct made of hydrogel nanocomposites. Alginate dialdehyde-gelatin (ADA-GEL) hydrogel is reinforced by the incorporation of bioactive glass nanoparticles, i.e. mesoporous silica-calcia nanoparticles (MSNs), in two types of drug (icariin) loading. The composites hydrogel is printed as superhydrated composite constructs in a grid structure. The MSNs not only improve the mechanical stiffness of the constructs but also induce formation of an apatite layer when the construct is immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF), thereby promoting cell adhesion and proliferation. The nanocomposite constructs can hold and deliver icariin efficiently, regardless of its incorporation mode, either as loaded into the MSNs or freely distributed within the hydrogel. Biocompatibility tests showed that the hydrogel nanocomposites assure enhanced osteoblast proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation. Such optimum biological properties stem from the superior biocompatibility of ADA-GEL, the bioactivity of the MSNs, and the supportive effect of icariin in relation to cell Proliferation and differentiation. Taken together, given the achieved structural and biological properties and effective drug delivery capability, the hydrogel nanocomposites show promising potential for bone tissue engineering.
