Hydroxyapatite/NELL-1 Nanoparticles Electrospun Fibers for Osteoinduction in Bone Tissue Engineering Application

Abstract

Background As commonly bone defect is a disease of jaw that can seriously affect implant restoration, the bioactive scaffold can be used as potential systems to provide effective repair for bone defect. Purpose A osteoinductive bone tissue engineering scaffold has been prepared in order to explore the effect of bioactive materials on bone tissue engineering. Methods In this study, NELL-1 nanoparticles (Chi/NNP) and nano hydroxyapatite were incorporated in composite scaffolds by electrospinning and characterized using TEM, SEM, contact angle, tensile tests and in vitro drug release. In vitro biological activities such as MC3T3-E1 cell attachment, proliferation and osteogenic activity were studied. Results With the addition of nHA and nanoparticles, the fiber diameter of PCL/BNPs group, PCL/NNPs group and PCL/nHA/NNPs group was significantly increased. Moreover, the hydrophilic hydroxyl group and amino group presented in nHA and nanoparticles had improved the hydrophilicity of the composite fibers. The composite electrospun containing Chi/NNPs can form a double protective barrier which can effectively prolong the release time of NELL-1 growth factor. In addition, the hydroxyapatite/NELL-1 nanoparticles electrospun fibers can promote attachment, proliferation, differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and good cytocompatibility, indicating better ability of inducing osteogenic differentiation. Conclusion A multi-functional PCL/nHA/NNPs composite fiber with long-term bioactivity and osteoinductivity was successfully prepared by electrospinning. This potential composite could be used as scaffolds in bone tissue engineering application after in vivo studies.

Electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibrous membranes loaded with baicalin for antibacterial wound dressing

“…7 . It is observed that PCL-0 has a hydrophobic surface with a WCA of 127.1° ± 1.3°, which is consistent with previous reports 40 , 41 . With the addition of Ti 3 C 2 T X nanoflakes, the WCA of PCL-1 shows a slight decrease (115.3° ± 5.2°) due to the abundance of −OH groups on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T X .…”

Frontier Electrospun Fibers for Nanomedical Applications

“…The highest osteogenic activity of MC3T3-E1 cells was observed on the 21st day of cell culture. The scaffold promoted cells' adhesion, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and maturation [85]. Three-component simultaneously electrospun layers scaffold incorporated PLGA and PEG or both with recombinant human vein endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF), recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) factor, and Ca nanoparticles.…”

Electrosprayed Chitosan Nanoparticles for Drug Carriers in Cancer Treatment - A Mini Review

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that gadolinium silicate nanoparticles exhibit potential as MRI imaging agents and drug carriers through the encapsulation of anti-cancer drugs [21]. In another investigation, chitosan-coated bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles were developed to contain NELL-1, thereby stabilizing BSA microspheres and resulting in the controlled release of NELL-1, thereby enhancing its bioactivity [22]. Da et al have reported the fabrication of polyethylene glycolcoated Fe3O4-based nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin as a drug carrier for tumor therapy.…”
