Effects of Temoporfin-Based Photodynamic Therapy on the In Vitro Antibacterial Activity and Biocompatibility of Gelatin-Hyaluronic Acid Cross-Linked Hydrogel Membranes. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14112314. [PMID: 36365133 PMCID: PMC9699569 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14112314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was performed to design a hydrogel membrane that exhibits antibacterial properties and guides different tissues. Gelatin and hyaluronic acid were used as the main structures, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) was used as a cross-linker, and temoporfin was used as an antibacterial agent. The results revealed that the hydrogel membrane impregnated with temoporfin (HM-T) had a fixation index of >89%. Temoporfin was used in conjunction with a diode laser and did not significantly affect EDC-induced cross-linking. The inhibitory activity of temoporfin showed that HM-T15 and HM-T30 (light exposure for 15 and 30 min, respectively) had remarkable antibacterial properties. The cell survival rate of HM-T15 was 73% of that of the control group, indicating that temoporfin exposure for 15 min did not exert cytotoxic effects on L-929 cells. HM and HM-T15 hydrogel membranes showed good cell adhesion and proliferation after 14 days of dark incubation. However, the hydrogel membrane containing temoporfin significantly reduced pro-inflammatory gene expression. In summary, the HM-T15 group showed potential as a biodegradable material for biocompatible tissue-guarded regeneration membranes with antibacterial properties. This study demonstrated the potential of temoporfin for innovative biomaterials and delivery systems applied to new regenerative periodontal therapies.

Biodegradable Hydrogel Beads Combined with Calcium Phosphate Bone Cement for Bone Repair: In Vitro and In Vivo Characterization. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14030505. [PMID: 35160495 PMCID: PMC8838511 DOI: 10.3390/polym14030505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
This study evaluated the in vitro characterizations of biodegradable hydrogel beads with calcium phosphate bone cement (CPC). Commercial fast-setting CPC and hydrogel beads were compared with 25%-volume hydrogel in CPC (C/0.25) in vivo. The histological behaviors and absorption rates of CPC only, hydrogel beads, and hydrogel/CPC composite were measured and compared at 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The results indicated that the C/0.25 composite can be molded and does not disintegrate when immersed in the solution, but this delays the phase transition of the CPC into the product in the early reaction process. The osteoprogenitor D1 cell affinity of the C/0.25 composite was equally competitive with that of the CPC-only. Adding hydrogel beads to CPC did not inhibit cell proliferation as well as differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells. In vivo histological evaluations did not indicate any significant difference in the CPC-only, hydrogel-only, and C/0.25 composite after 4 weeks of implantation; however, significantly less residue was observed in the C/0.25 composite relative to the CPC-only after 8 weeks. After 12 weeks of hydrogel beads implantation, the hydrogel degraded substantially, creating vacancies that were subsequently occupied by a large amount of soft tissue. New bone was formed in large quantities in the C/0.25; therefore, the C/0.25 composite is a promising option for a wide range of dental, craniofacial, and orthopedic applications.

Effects of Hinokitiol and Dicalcium Phosphate on the Osteoconduction and Antibacterial Activity of Gelatin-Hyaluronic Acid Crosslinked Hydrogel Membrane In Vitro. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14080802. [PMID: 34451899 PMCID: PMC8401089 DOI: 10.3390/ph14080802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Many hydrogel-based crosslinking membranes have been designed and tailored to meet the needs of different applications. The aim of this research is to design a bifunctional hydrogel membrane with antibacterial and osteoconducting properties to guide different tissues. The membrane uses gelatin and hyaluronic acid as the main structure, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride as the crosslinker, hinokitiol as the antibacterial agent, and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) micron particles for osteoconduction. Results show that the hydrogel membrane with added DCPA and impregnated hinokitiol has a fixation index higher than 88%. When only a small amount of DCPA is added, the tensile strength does not decrease significantly. The tensile strength decreases considerably when a large amount of modified DCPA is added. The stress–strain curve shows that the presence of a large amount of hinokitiol in hydrogel membranes results in considerably improved deformation and toughness properties. Each group impregnated with hinokitiol exhibits obvious antibacterial capabilities. Furthermore, the addition of DCPA and impregnation with hinokitiol does not exert cytotoxicity on cells in vitro, indicating that the designed amount of DCPA and hinokitiol in this study is appropriate. After a 14-day cell culture, the hydrogel membrane still maintains a good shape because the cells adhere and proliferate well, thus delaying degradation. In addition, the hydrogel containing a small amount of DCPA has the best cell mineralization effect. The developed hydrogel has a certain degree of flexibility, degradability, and bifunctionality and is superficial. It can be used in guided tissue regeneration in clinical surgery.

Effects of Gamma Radiation on the Sterility Assurance, Antibacterial Ability, and Biocompatibility of Impregnated Hydrogel Macrosphere Protein and Drug Release. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:938. [PMID: 33803715 PMCID: PMC8003089 DOI: 10.3390/polym13060938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Revised: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Devices and medicines used in the medical field must be sterile. Gamma (γ)-irradiation is commonly used for sterilization because its high rate of penetration ensures uniform sterilization. To confirm that hydrogel macrosphere carriers inherit excellent liquid absorption with no cytotoxicity after γ-irradiation sterilization, investigating whether the physiochemical properties of hydrogel macrospheres differ before and after sterilization is essential. The present study evaluated the influence of the recommended 25-kGy γ-irradiation dose on the physicochemical characteristics and in vitro release of bovine serum albumin and vancomycin (an antibiotic medication) from alginate/gelatin with a w/w ratio of 1/4 crosslinking gel macrospheres. Gel macrosphere properties before and after sterilization were compared according to optical and scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy analysis, the amino residual crosslinking index, water absorption, degradation, sterility assurance, in vitro drug release, antibacterial ability, and cytotoxicity. The crosslinking index was almost unchanged; however, the γ-irradiation caused in situ hydrogel debonding and recrosslinking, which led to a decrease in the water absorption and increase in the degradation rate of the macrospheres after immersion. The release of gel macrospheres carrying vancomycin did not significantly affect antibacterial ability or biocompatibility after γ-irradiation. Accordingly, we conclude that γ-irradiation is suitable for macrospherical formulation.

Chemical cross-linking on gelatin-hyaluronan loaded with hinokitiol for the preparation of guided tissue regeneration hydrogel membranes with antibacterial and biocompatible properties. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 119:111576.

Abstract
The mechanical properties and structural stability of hydrogels and their performance in antidegradation can be enhanced by cross-linking them with N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). However, residual EDC compromises the biocompatibility of cross-linked hydrogels and the formability of un-cross-linked hydrogels. In this study, a facile process for preparing hydrogel regenerative membranes exerting antibacterial effects and containing gelatin/hyaluronic acid (G/HA) through solution casting was proposed. The membranes were cross-linked with EDC (G/HA-Ec-0H) and impregnated with two concentrations of the antibacterial agent of hinokitiol (G/HA-Ec-2H and G/HA-Ec-4H). Amide bonds formed, and the rate of active amino acid fixation was higher than 90%, which was directly proportional to the degree of cross-linking. The G/HA-Ec-2H and G/HA-Ec-4H groups with hinokitiol showed good antibacterial properties. The rate of hydrogel degradation decreased, and the integrity of sample morphology was maintained at more than 80% for over 3 days in the immersion. Then, the hydrogel structures relaxed and disintegrated through a rapid degradation reaction within 24 h. The biocompatibility results showed that low concentrations of hinokitiol did not affect cell viability. Moreover, hydrogel membranes after 14 days of cell incubation showed good cell adhesion and proliferation. In summary, the membrane biostability of the cross-linked gelatin/hyaluronan hydrogels was enhanced by EDC at a biocompatible concentration, and the functionalized group of G/HA-Ec-2H shows potential as a biodegradable material for biocompatible tissue-guarded regeneration membranes with antibacterial properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A biodegradable porous particle for the controlled biofactor delivery which assembly of pores in scaffolds can improve the permeation and diffusion of drugs or growth factors. OBJECTIVE Porous-spheres in millimeter scale were prepared by mixing sodium alginate and gelatin interpenetrating networks with cross-linkers; interconnected open pores were fabricated through solvent casting and particulate leaching. METHODS Morphological characteristics, degradation, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) release rates of the porous-spheres immersed in three different solutions, namely, deionized distilled water, simulated body fluid (SBF), and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), were detected. RESULTS Porous-spheres with a large amount of gelatin exhibited an increase in water absorption rates without affecting scaffold strength and no cytotoxicity was elicited. Highly interconnected pores with a diameter of 100-200 µm were uniformly distributed in scaffolds. The weight loss in PBS was faster than that in other solutions; the highest release rate of BSA in SBF was observed for 2 h. The release rates also exhibited linear patterns from 2 h to 24 h in all of the groups. CONCLUSIONS After 1 d of immersion in solutions, BSA release rates in scaffolds logarithmically decreased for 14 d. The degradation of porous-spheres also showed an inverse pattern.

Abstract
Xanthan gum is a microbial high molecular weight exo-polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas bacteria (a Gram-negative bacteria genus that exhibits several different species) and it has widely been used as an additive in various industrial and biomedical applications such as food and food packaging, cosmetics, water-based paints, toiletries, petroleum, oil-recovery, construction and building materials, and drug delivery. Recently, it has shown great potential in issue engineering applications and a variety of modification methods have been employed to modify xanthan gum as polysaccharide for this purpose. However, xanthan gum-based biomaterials need further modification for several targeted applications due to some disadvantages (e.g., processing and mechanical performance of xanthan gum), where modified xanthan gum will be well suited for tissue engineering products. In this review, the current scenario of the use of xanthan gum for various tissue engineering applications, including its origin, structure, properties, modification, and processing for the preparation of the hydrogels and/or the scaffolds is precisely reviewed.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide. The incidence of this disease is rising and its treatment poses an economic burden. Two early targets of knee OA treatment include the predominant symptom of pain, and cartilage damage in the knee joint. Current treatments have been beneficial in treating the disease but none is as effective as total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, while TKA is an end-stage solution of the disease, it is an invasive and expensive procedure. Therefore, innovative regenerative engineering strategies should be established as these could defer or annul the need for a TKA. Several biomaterial and cell-based therapies are currently in development and have shown early promise in both preclinical and clinical studies. The use of advanced biomaterials and stem cells independently or in conjunction to treat knee OA could potentially reduce pain and regenerate focal articular cartilage damage. In this review, we discuss the pathogenesis of pain and cartilage damage in knee OA and explore novel treatment options currently being studied, along with some of their limitations.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has been providing exciting technologies for the development of functional substitutes aimed to repair and regenerate damaged tissues and organs. Inspired by the hierarchical nature of bone, nanostructured biomaterials are gaining a singular attention for tissue engineering, owing their ability to promote cell adhesion and proliferation, and hence new bone growth, compared with conventional microsized materials. Of particular interest are nanocomposites involving biopolymeric matrices and bioactive nanosized fillers. Biodegradability, high mechanical strength, and osteointegration and formation of ligamentous tissue are properties required for such materials. Biopolymers are advantageous due to their similarities with extracellular matrices, specific degradation rates, and good biological performance. By its turn, calcium phosphates possess favorable osteoconductivity, resorbability, and biocompatibility. Herein, an overview on the available natural polymer/calcium phosphate nanocomposite materials, their design, and properties is presented. Scaffolds, hydrogels, and fibers as biomimetic strategies for tissue engineering, and processing methodologies are described. The specific biological properties of the nanocomposites, as well as their interaction with cells, including the use of bioactive molecules, are highlighted. Nanocomposites in vivo studies using animal models are also reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
The bio-inspired engineering of tissue equivalents should take into account anisotropic morphology and the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix. This especially applies to collagen fibrils, which have various, but highly defined, orientations throughout tissues and organs. There are several methods available to control the alignment of soluble collagen monomers, but the options to direct native insoluble collagen fibers are limited. Here we apply a controlled counter-rotating cone extrusion technology to engineer tubular collagen constructs with defined anisotropy. Driven by diverging inner and outer cone rotation speeds, collagen fibrils from bovine skin were extruded and precipitated onto mandrels as tubes with oriented fibers and bundles, as examined by second harmonic generation microscopy and quantitative image analysis. A clear correlation was found whereby the direction and extent of collagen fiber alignment during extrusion were a function of the shear forces caused by a combination of the cone rotation and flow direction. A gradual change in the fiber direction, spanning +50 to -40°, was observed throughout the sections of the sample, with an average decrease ranging from 2.3 to 2.6° every 10μm. By varying the cone speeds, the collagen constructs showed differences in elasticity and toughness, spanning 900-2000kPa and 19-35mJ, respectively. Rotational extrusion presents an enabling technology to create and control the (an)isotropic architecture of collagen constructs for application in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Rapid patterning of 1-D collagenous topography as an ECM protein fibril platform for image cytometry. PLoS One 2014; 9:e93590.

Abstract
Cellular behavior is strongly influenced by the architecture and pattern of its interfacing extracellular matrix (ECM). For an artificial culture system which could eventually benefit the translation of scientific findings into therapeutic development, the system should capture the key characteristics of a physiological microenvironment. At the same time, it should also enable standardized, high throughput data acquisition. Since an ECM is composed of different fibrous proteins, studying cellular interaction with individual fibrils will be of physiological relevance. In this study, we employ near-field electrospinning to create ordered patterns of collagenous fibrils of gelatin, based on an acetic acid and ethyl acetate aqueous co-solvent system. Tunable conformations of micro-fibrils were directly deposited onto soft polymeric substrates in a single step. We observe that global topographical features of straight lines, beads-on-strings, and curls are dictated by solution conductivity; whereas the finer details such as the fiber cross-sectional profile are tuned by solution viscosity. Using these fibril constructs as cellular assays, we study EA.hy926 endothelial cells' response to ROCK inhibition, because of ROCK's key role in the regulation of cell shape. The fibril array was shown to modulate the cellular morphology towards a pre-capillary cord-like phenotype, which was otherwise not observed on a flat 2-D substrate. Further facilitated by quantitative analysis of morphological parameters, the fibril platform also provides better dissection in the cells' response to a H1152 ROCK inhibitor. In conclusion, the near-field electrospun fibril constructs provide a more physiologically-relevant platform compared to a featureless 2-D surface, and simultaneously permit statistical single-cell image cytometry using conventional microscopy systems. The patterning approach described here is also expected to form the basics for depositing other protein fibrils, seen among potential applications as culture platforms for drug screening.

Designing a gelatin/chitosan/hyaluronic acid biopolymer using a thermophysical approach for use in tissue engineering. Bioprocess Biosyst Eng 2013; 36:1947-56.

Abstract
Cell culture on biopolymeric scaffolds has provided treatments for tissue engineering. Biopolymeric mixtures based on gelatin (Ge), chitosan (Ch) and hyaluronic acid (Ha) have been used to make scaffolds for wound healing. Thermal and physical properties of scaffolds prepared with Ge, Ch and Ha were characterized. Thermal characterization was made by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and physical characterization by gas pycnometry and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of Ge content and cross-linking on thermophysical properties were evaluated by means of a factorial experiment design (central composite face centered). Gelatin content was the main factor that affects the thermophysical properties (microstructure and thermal transitions) of the scaffold. The effect of Ge content of the scaffolds for tissue engineering was studied by seeding skin cells on the biopolymers. The cell attachment was not significantly modified at different Ge contents; however, the cell growth rate increased linearly with the decrease of the Ge content. This relationship together with the thermophysical characterization may be used to design scaffolds for tissue engineering.
