Cell Adhesion and Initial Bone Matrix Deposition on Titanium-Based Implants with Chitosan-Collagen Coatings: An In Vitro Study. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054810. [PMID: 36902249 PMCID: PMC10002510 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054810] [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: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
In orthopedics, titanium (Ti)-alloy implants, are often considered as the first-choice candidates for bone tissue engineering. An appropriate implant coating enhances bone matrix ingrowth and biocompatibility, improving osseointegration. Collagen I (COLL) and chitosan (CS) are largely employed in several different medical applications, for their antibacterial and osteogenic properties. This is the first in vitro study that provides a preliminary comparison between two combinations of COLL/CS coverings for Ti-alloy implants, in terms of cell adhesion, viability, and bone matrix production for probable future use as a bone implant. Through an innovative spraying technique, COLL-CS-COLL and CS-COLL-CS coverings were applied over Ti-alloy (Ti-POR) cylinders. After cytotoxicity evaluations, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were seeded onto specimens for 28 days. Cell viability, gene expression, histology, and scanning electron microscopy evaluations were performed. No cytotoxic effects were observed. All cylinders were biocompatible, thus permitting hBMSCs' proliferation. Furthermore, an initial bone matrix deposition was observed, especially in the presence of the two coatings. Neither of the coatings used interferes with the osteogenic differentiation process of hBMSCs, or with an initial deposition of new bone matrix. This study sets the stage for future, more complex, ex vivo or in vivo studies.

Construction and osteogenic effects of 3D-printed porous titanium alloy loaded with VEGF/BMP-2 shell-core microspheres in a sustained-release system. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:1028278. [PMID: 36338136 PMCID: PMC9634119 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1028278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The repair and reconstruction of bone defects remain a challenge in orthopedics. The present study offers a solution to this problem by developing a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) shell-core microspheres loaded on 3D-printed porous titanium alloy via gelatin coating to prepare a titanium-alloy microsphere scaffold release system. The composite scaffold was characterized via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), and the effect of the composite scaffold on the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts were determined in vitro. Furthermore, a rabbit femoral defect model was established to verify the effect of the composite scaffold on osteogenesis and bone formation in vivo. The results demonstrated that the composite scaffold could release VEGF and BMP-2 sequentially. Meanwhile, the composite scaffold significantly promoted osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation (p < 0.05) compared to pure titanium alloy scaffolds in vitro. Furthermore, the composite scaffold can exhibit significant osteogenic differentiation (p < 0.05) than gelatin-coated titanium alloy scaffolds. The in vivo X-rays demonstrated that the implanted scaffolds were in a good position, without inflammation and infection. Micro-CT and quantitative results of new bone growth illustrated that the amount of new bone in the composite scaffold is significantly higher than that of the gelatin-coated and pure titanium alloy scaffolds (p < 0.05). Similarly, the fluorescence labeling and V-G staining of hard tissue sections indicated that the bone integration capacity of the composite scaffold was significantly higher than the other two groups (p < 0.05). This research suggests that VEGF/BMP-2 shell-core microspheres loaded on 3D-printed titanium alloy porous scaffold through gelatin hydrogel coating achieved the sequential release of VEGF and BMP-2. Most importantly, the in vitro and in vivo study findings have proven that the system could effectively promote osteogenic differentiation and osseointegration.

Effectiveness of biomolecule-based bioactive surfaces, on os-seointegration of titanium dental implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis of in vivo studies. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:986112. [PMID: 36225604 PMCID: PMC9548556 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.986112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Titanium and alloy osseointegrated implants are used to replace missing teeth; however, some fail and are removed. Modifications of the implant surface with biologically active substances have been proposed. MEDLINE [via Pubmed], Embase and Web of Science were searched with the terms “titanium dental implants”, “surface properties”, “bioactive surface modifications”, “biomolecules”, “BMP”, “antibacterial agent”, “peptide”, “collagen”, “grown factor”, “osseointegration”, “bone apposition”, “osteogenic”, “osteogenesis”, “new bone formation”, “bone to implant contact”, “bone regeneration” and “in vivo studies”, until May 2022. A total of 10,697 references were iden-tified and 26 were included to analyze 1,109 implants, with follow-ups from 2 to 84 weeks. The ARRIVE guidelines and the SYRCLE tool were used to evaluate the methodology and scientific evidence. A meta-analysis was performed (RevMan 2020 software, Cochane Collaboration) with random effects that evaluated BIC at 4 weeks, with subgroups for the different coatings. The heterogeneity of the pooled studies was very high (95% CI, I2 = 99%). The subgroup of BMPs was the most favorable to coating. Surface modification of Ti implants by organic bioactive molecules seems to favor osseointegration in the early stages of healing, but long-term studies are necessary to corroborate the results of the experimental studies.

Collagen-Based Osteogenic Nanocoating of Microrough Titanium Surfaces. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147803. [PMID: 35887152 PMCID: PMC9317921 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23147803] [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: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to develop a collagen/heparin-based multilayer coating on titanium surfaces for retarded release of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP2) to enhance the osteogenic activity of implant surfaces. Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coatings were constructed on sandblasted/acid-etched surfaces of titanium discs using heparin and collagen. PEM films of ten double layers were produced and overlayed with 200 µL of a rhBMP2 solution containing 15 µg rhBMP2. Subsequently, cross-linking of heparin molecules was performed using EDC/NHS chemistry to immobilize the incorporated rhBMP2. Release characteristics for 3 weeks, induction of Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) in C2C12 cells and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were evaluated to analyze the osteogenic capacity of the surface. The coating incorporated 10.5 µg rhBMP2 on average per disc and did not change the surface morphology. The release profile showed a delivery of 14.5% of the incorporated growth factor during the first 24 h with a decline towards the end of the observation period with a total release of 31.3%. Cross-linking reduced the release with an almost complete suppression at 100% cross-linking. Alkaline Phosphatase was significantly increased on day 1 and day 21, indicating that the growth factor bound in the coating remains active and available after 3 weeks. Proliferation of hMSCs was significantly enhanced by the non-cross-linked PEM coating. Nanocoating using collagen/heparin-based PEMs can incorporate clinically relevant amounts of rhBMP2 on titanium surfaces with a retarded release and a sustained enhancement of osteogenic activity without changing the surface morphology.

Abstract
The layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique is an effective method to immobilize components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as collagen and heparin onto, e.g., implant surfaces/medical devices with the aim of forming polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs). Increasing evidence even suggests that cross-linking influences the physicochemical character of PEM films since mechanical cues inherent to the substrate may be as important as its chemical nature to influence the cellular behavior. In this study, for the first-time different collagen/heparin films have been prepared and cross-linked with EDC/NHS chemistry. Quartz crystal microbalance, zeta potential analyzer, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry were used to characterize film growth, stiffness, and topography of different film systems. The analysis of all data proves a nearly linear film growth for all PEM systems, the efficacy of cross-linking and the corresponding changes in the film rigidity after cross-linking and an appropriate surface topography. Furthermore, preliminary cell culture experiments illustrated those cellular processes correlate roughly with the quantity of newly created covalent amide bonds. This allows a precise adjustment of the physicochemical properties of the selected film architecture regarding the desired application and target cells. It could be shown that collagen improves the biocompatibility of heparin containing PEMs and due to their ECM-analogue nature both molecules are ideal candidates intended to be used for any biomedical application with a certain preference to improve the performance of bone implants or bone augmentation strategies.

Effects of Gamma Radiation-Induced Crosslinking of Collagen Type I Coated Dental Titanium Implants on Osseointegration and Bone Regeneration. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14123268. [PMID: 34199187 PMCID: PMC8231814 DOI: 10.3390/ma14123268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Revised: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to compare two methods of crosslinking collagen type I on implanted titanium surfaces, that is, using glutaraldehyde (GA) or gamma-rays (GRs), in a beagle dog model. For in vivo experiments, implants were allocated to three groups and applied to mandibular bone defects in beagle dogs; Group SLA; non-treated Sandblasted, large grit, acid-etched (SLA) implants, Group GA; SLA implants coated with GA crosslinked collagen type I, Group GR; SLA surface implants coated with collagen type I and crosslinked using 25 kGy of 60Co gamma radiation. New bone μCT volumes were obtained, and histologic and histometric analyses were performed in regions of interest. The GR group had significantly better new bone areas (NBAs) and bone to implant contact (BIC) results than the SLA group (p < 0.05), but the GA and GR groups were similar in this respect. New bone volumes and inter-thread bone densities (ITBD) were non-significantly different in the three groups (p > 0.05). Within the limits of this study, gamma-ray collagen crosslinking on titanium implants can be considered a substitute for glutaraldehyde crosslinking.

Abstract
In the field of biology and medicine, one hears often about stem cells and their potential. The dental implant new surfaces, subjected to specific treatments, perform better and allow for quicker healing times and better clinical performance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate from a biological point of view the interaction and cytotoxicity between stem cells derived from dental pulp (DPSCs) and titanium surfaces. Through the creation of complex cells/implant, this study is aimed at analyzing the cytotoxicity of dental implant surfaces (Myth (Maipek Manufacturer Industrial Care, Naples, Italy)) and the adhesion capacity of cells on them and at considering the essential factors for implant healing such as osteoinduction and vasculogenesis. These parameters are pointed out through histology (3D cell culture), immunofluorescence, proliferation assays, scanning electron microscopy, and PCR investigations. The results of the dental implant surface and its interaction with the DPSCs are encouraging, obtaining results increasing the mineralization of the tissues. The knowledge of this type of interaction, highlighting its chemical and biological features, is certainly also an excellent starting point for the development of even more performing surfaces for having better healing in the oral surgical procedures related to dental implant positioning.

Abstract
The effects of titanium (Ti) ion-implanted doses on the chemical composition, surface roughness, mechanical properties, as well as tribological properties of 316L austenitic stainless steel are investigated in this paper. The Ti ion implantations were carried out at an energy of 40 kV and at 2 mA for different doses of 3.0 × 1016, 1.0 × 1017, 1.0 × 1018, and 1.7 × 1018 ions/cm2. The results showed that a new phase (Cr2Ti) was detected, and the concentrations of Ti and C increased obviously when the dose exceeded 1.0 × 1017 ions/cm2. The surface roughness can be significantly reduced after Ti ion implantation. The nano-hardness increased from 3.44 to 5.21 GPa at a Ti ion-implanted dose increase up to 1.0 × 1018 ions/cm2. The friction coefficient decreased from 0.78 for un-implanted samples to 0.68 for a sample at the dose of 1.7 × 1018 ions/cm2. The wear rate was slightly improved when the sample implanted Ti ion at a dose of 1.0 × 1018 ions/cm2. Adhesive wear and oxidation wear are the main wear mechanisms, and a slightly abrasive wear is observed during sliding. Oxidation wear was improved significantly as the implantation dose increased.

Abstract
The recent impact of implants on improving the human life quality has been enormous. During the past two decades we witnessed major advancements in both material and structural development of implants. They were driven mainly by the increasing patients' demand and the need to address the major issues that come along with the initially underestimated complexity of the bone-implant interface. While both, the materials and design of implants reached a certain, balanced state, recent years brought a shift in focus towards the bone-implant interface as the weakest link in the increasing implant long-term usability. As a result, several approaches were developed. They aimed at influencing and enhancing the implant osseointegration and its proper behavior when under load and stress. With this review, we would like to discuss the recent advancements in the field of implant surface modifications, emphasizing the importance of chemical methods, focusing on proteins, peptides and peptidomimetics as promising agents for titanium surface coatings.

Abstract
The field of dental implantology has made progress in recent years, allowing safer and predictable oral rehabilitations. Surely the rehabilitation times have also been reduced, thanks to the advent of the new implant surfaces, which favour the osseointegration phases and allow the clinician to rehabilitate their patients earlier. To carry out this study, a search was conducted in the Pubmed, Embase and Elsevier databases; the articles initially obtained according to the keywords used numbered 283, and then subsequently reduced to 10 once the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. The review that has been carried out on this type of surface allows us to fully understand the features and above all to evaluate all the advantages or not related. The study materials also are supported by a manufacturing company, which provided all the indications regarding surface treatment and confocal microscopy scans. In conclusion, we can say that, thanks to these new surfaces, it has been possible to shorten the time necessary to obtain osseointegration and, therefore, secondary stability on the part of implants. The surfaces, therefore, guarantee an improved cellular adhesion and thanks to the excellent wettability all the biological processes that derive from it, such as increases in the exposed implant surface, resulting in an increase in bone-implant contact (BIC).

Abstract
Background: The process of osseointegration of dental implants is characterized by healing phenomena at the level of the interface between the surface and the bone. Implant surface modification has been introduced in order to increase the level of osseointegration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of biofunctional coatings for dental implants and the bone healing response in a rabbit model. The implant surface coated with collagen type I was analyzed through X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), micro-CT and histologically. Methods: The sandblasted and double acid etched surface coated with collagen type I, and uncoated sandblasted and double acid etched surface were evaluated by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis in order evaluate the different morphology. In vivo, a total of 36 implants were positioned in rabbit articular femoral knee-joint, 18 fixtures for each surface. Micro-CT scans, histological and histomorphometrical analysis were conducted at 15, 30 and 60 days. Results: A histological statistical differences were evident at 15, 30 and 60 days (p < 0.001). Both implant surfaces showed a close interaction with newly formed bone. Mature bone appeared in close contact with the surface of the fixture. The AFM outcome showed a similar roughness for both surfaces. Conclusion: However, the final results showed that a coating of collagen type I on the implant surface represents a promising procedure able to improve osseointegration, especially in regions with a low bone quality.
