Membranes of the autologous blood-derived biomaterial platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) were functionalized by incorporation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), an enzyme involved in mineralization of bone, and subsequently incubated in calcium glycerophosphate (CaGP) solution to induce PRFs mineralization with calcium phosphate (CaP) to improve PRFs suitability as a material for bone replacement. Incorporated ALP retained its bioactivity and induced formation of CaP material within PRF membranes, as confirmed by SEM, EDS, FTIR, and von Kossa staining. The mass percentage attributable to CaP was quantified by lyophilization and measurement of the remaining mass fraction as well as by TGA. Cytocompatibility tests (LDH, MTT, and WST) with SAOS-2 cells showed that mineralized PRF did not release substances detrimental to cell vitality. Live/dead staining and SEM showed that mineralized PRF was colonized by cells. The results show that hydrogel biomaterials such as PRF can be mineralized through functionalization with ALP.

Enzymatic Mineralization of Hydrogels for Bone Tissue Engineering by Incorporation of Alkaline Phosphatase

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), an enzyme involved in mineralization of bone, is incorporated into three hydrogel biomaterials to induce their mineralization with calcium phosphate (CaP). These are collagen type I, a mussel-protein-inspired adhesive consisting of PEG substituted with catechol groups, cPEG, and the PEG/fumaric acid copolymer OPF. After incubation in Ca-GP solution, FTIR, EDS, SEM, XRD, SAED, ICP-OES, and von Kossa staining confirm CaP formation. The amount of mineral formed decreases in the orde...
Microstructural, mechanical, and osteocompatibility properties of Mg2+/F--doped nanophase hydroxyapatite
Sun, Zehra Pinar; Ercan, Batur; Evis, Zafer; Webster, Thomas J. (Wiley, 2010-09-01)
Pure as well as Mg2+- and F--doped nanophase (i.e., grain sizes in the nanometer regime in at least one dimension) hydroxyapatite (HA) samples were synthesized by a precipitation method followed by sintering at 1100 degrees C for 1 h to determine their microstructural, mechanical, and osteoblast (bone-forming cell) adhesion properties pertinent for orthopedic applications. Different amounts of Mg2+ and F- ions (specifically from 0 to 7.5 mol %) were doped into the HA samples. X-ray diffraction was used to i...
Nanostructured anti-bacterial poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid films for skin tissue engineering applications
Karahaliloglu, Zeynep; Ercan, Batur; Chung, Stanley; Taylor, Erik; DENKBAŞ, EMİR BAKİ; Webster, Thomas J. (Wiley, 2014-12-01)
Major issues faced with the use of today's skin grafts are infection, scar tissue formation, insufficient keratinocyte (or skin producing cells) proliferation and high production costs. To overcome these limitations, we propose here for the first time, a nanofeatured poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) membrane as a next generation antibacterial skin graft material. An alkaline surface treatment method was used to create random nanofeatures on PLGA membranes where sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration and exp...
Increased osteoblast adhesion on nanograined hydroxyapatite and partially stabilized zirconia composites
Evis, Zafer; Webster, Thomas J. (Wiley, 2006-09-01)
To improve the mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)) for orthopedic applications, numerous investigators have proposed combining HA with high strength materials, specifically zirconia. Despite the fact that, compared to pure HA, it is now well-established that zirconia and HA composites have improved mechanical properties, the cytocompatibility properties of this composite remain largely uninvestigated. For these reasons, the objective of the present in vitro study was to synthe...
Synthesis of calcium carbonate particles for biomedical applications
Oral, Çağatay Mert; Ercan, Batur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles have been widely used in biomedical applications owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. In order to effectively utilize CaCO3 particles in biomedical applications, their physical and chemical properties should be systematically controlled. However, this is a challenging task due to the presence of three different anhydrous CaCO3 polymorphs having complex crystallization behavior. In this thesis, CaCO3 particles were synthesized at distinct environments to c...
