This animal study evaluated bone healing around titanium implant surfaces biomimetically coated with bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) and/or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by examining bone matrix proteins and mineralisation. Five different implant surfaces were established: acid-etched surface (AE), biomimetic calcium phosphate surface (CAP), BMP-2 loaded CAP surface, VEGF loaded CAP surface and dual BMP-2 + VEGF loaded CAP surface. The implants were inserted into calvariae of adult domestic pigs. For the comparison of osteoconductive capacity of each surface, bone mineral density and expression of bone matrix proteins (collagen I, BMP-2/4, osteocalcin and osteopontin) inside defined chambers around the implant were assessed using light microscopy and microradiography and immunohistochemical analysis at 1, 2 and 4 weeks. In the both groups delivering BMP-2, the bone mineral density was significantly enhanced after 2 weeks and the highest value was measured for the group BMP + VEGF. In the group VEGF, collagen I and BMP-2/4 expressions were significantly up-regulated at the first and second weeks. The percentage of BMP-2/4 positive cells in the group BMP + VEGF was significantly enhanced compared with the groups AE and CAP at the second week. Although the highest osteocalcin and osteopontin expression values were observed for the group BMP + VEGF after 2 weeks, no statistically significant difference in osteocalcin and osteopontin expressions was found between all groups at any time. It was concluded that combined delivery of BMP-2 and VEGF favoured bone mineralisation and expression of important bone matrix proteins that might explain synergistic interaction between both growth factors.

Bone tissue generation on biodegradable polymeric scaffolds
Torun Köse, Gamze; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Biotechnology (2002)
In the present study, tissue engineered bone was produced on calcium phosphate loaded collagen and PHBV8 matrices. Osteoblasts isolated from rat bone marrow were characterized by light microscopy, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteocalcin determination assay, and Western blots for integrin. Population doubling time of the cells was found as 50 ± 2 h at 37 °C in a CO2 incubator. PHBV8 foams iiiwere treated with rf-oxygen plasma to modify their surface chemistry and hydrophilicity to increase the reatt...
Bone tissue engineering on patterned collagen films: an in vitro study
Ber, S; Kose, GT; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2005-05-01)
This study aimed at guiding osteoblast cells from rat bone marrow on chemically modified and patterned collagen films to study the influence of pattern, on cell guidance. The films were stabilized using different treatment methods including crosslinking with carbodiimide (EDC) and glutaraldehyde, dehydrothermal treatment (DHT), and deposition of calcium phosphate on the collagen membrane.

Kose, GT; Korkusuz, F; Korkusuz, P; Purali, N; Ozkul, A; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2003-12-01)
Bone formation was investigated in vitro by culturing rat marrow stromal osteoblasts in biodegradable, macroporous poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-bydroxyvaleric acid) (PHBV) matrices over a period of 60 days. Foams were prepared after solvent evaporation and solute leaching. PHBV solutions with different concentrations were prepared in chloroform: dichloromethane (1:2, v/v). In order to create a matrix with high porosity and uniform pore sizes, sieved sucrose crystals (300-500 mum) were used. PHBV foams we...
Patient-specific orthopedic implant design and production with tissue engineering method
Büyüksungur, Senem; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2019)
Customized and patient specific, tissue engineered constructs are needed for the treatment of irregular shaped bone defects. This study presents the preparation of two different 3D printed scaffolds. 1) PCL-based scaffolds modified with nanohydroxyapatite (HAp) and poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF), and 2) Cell carrying hybrid scaffolds of PCL/GelMA. 3D printed, PCL-based scaffolds were coated with HAp or HAp/PPF before cell seeding and their presence enhanced osteoconductivity and compressive mechanical stren...
Collagen scaffolds with in situ-grown calcium phosphate for osteogenic differentiation of Wharton's jelly and menstrual blood stem cells
Karadas, Ozge; Yucel, Deniz; Kenar, Halime; Kose, Gamze Torun; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2014-07-01)
The aim of this research was to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential of non-invasively obtained human stem cells on collagen nanocomposite scaffolds with in situ-grown calcium phosphate crystals. The foams had 70% porosity and pore sizes varying in the range 50-200 mu m. The elastic modulus and compressive strength of the calcium phosphate containing collagen scaffolds were determined to be 234.5 kPa and 127.1 kPa, respectively, prior to in vitro studies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtain...
