Graphene Oxide Incorporated Silicate Doped Nano-hydroxyapatite Novel Composite for Bone Tissue Engineering

2018-06-05
Hydroxyapatite, as the natural inorganic phase of the bone tissue has been widely used as the main structure of bone tissue scaffolds. In studies, ion substitution into hydroxyapatite structure enhanced the osteogenic properties. Silicon is an ion that was used to produce silicate doped hydroxyapatite (SiHA). SiHA is reported to promote proliferation and osteogenic activity of osteoblasts. Graphene oxide (GO) is formed by functionalization of graphene with oxygen-containing groups, reported to enhance adhesion and growth of cells while inducing calcium phosphate deposition. In this study, we aimed to combine osteogenic properties of SiHA and GO in order to produce a novel composite to be incorporated into bone scaffolds as osteogenic component. Therefore, composite groups with different ratios of SiHA and GO were compared to identify the most effective composite composition. Composite groups were evaluated in a fibrous scaffold structure formed by electrospinning within PCL solution. Scaffolds were characterized in terms of protein adsorption-desorption, calcium deposition and tensile strength properties. In vitro studies were conducted with human osteosarcoma (Saos-2) cell line as cell adhesion, spreading, proliferation and ALP activity. Scaffold groups bearing GO showed increased protein adsorption and improved initial cell attachment. Cell spreading and proliferation were highest in the group with effective concentrations of SiHA and GO (PCL-10%SiHA-4%GO). The group also showed higher calcium phosphate deposition and alkaline phosphatase activity. Results showed that the novel GO incorporated SiHA composite has high potential to be used as a bone tissue engineering material.

The first part of this study covers the crosslinking of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and its composite with calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) and their mechanical, swelling and morphological properties. Sheets of neat PEO (two different molecular weights) and composites of PEO-HA were prepared by compression molding. The composites and PEO thick sheets were crosslinked with exposure of UV- irradiation in presence of acetophenone (AP) for different periods of time. This simple method of crosslinking, UV-irradiation in...
Facile control of hydroxyapatite particle morphology by utilization of calcium carbonate templates at room temperature
Oral, Çağatay M.; Çalışkan, Arda; Kapusuz, Derya; Ercan, Batur (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01)
Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)) particles are widely used in orthopedic applications due to their chemical resemblance to the inorganic component of bone tissue. Since physical and chemical properties of HAp particles influence bone regeneration, various synthesis techniques were developed to precisely control the particle properties. However, most of these techniques required high reaction temperatures, which limited the spectrum of obtained HAp particle morphologies. In this study, ellipsoidal,...
Fatigue behavior of Ti-6Al-4V foams processed by magnesium space holder technique
Asik, E. Erkan; Bor, Sakir (2015-01-05)
Porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys are widely used in the biomedical applications for hard tissue implantation due to their elastic moduli being close to that of bone. In this study, porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys were produced with a powder metallurgical process, space holder technique, where magnesium powders were utilized to generate porosity in the range of 51-65 vol%. The production of porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys was composed of three steps. Firstly, spherical Ti-6Al-4V powders with an average size of 55 mu m were mixed wit...

Proteins such as collagen and elastin are robust molecules that constitute nanocomponents in the hierarchically organized ultrastructures of bone and tendon as well as in some of the soft tissues that have load-bearing functions. In the present paper, the macromolecular structure and function of the proteins are reviewed and the potential of mammalian and non-mammalian proteins in the engineering of load-bearing tissue substitutes are discussed. Chimeric proteins have become an important structural biomater...

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...
