Abstract
Bacterial cellulose membrane (BCM) has been recently recognized as a new generation of carbohydrate-based nanomaterial that possesses a great potential in tissue engineering applications. This research aims to develop an active non-resorbable guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane from BCM by conjugating with plant-derived recombinant human osteopontin (p-rhOPN), an economically produced and RGD-containing biomolecule. The BCM was initially grafted with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brushes to form poly(acrylic acid)-grafted BCM. Multiple carboxyl groups introduced to the BCM by PAA can serve as active anchoring points for p-rhOPN conjugation and yielded p-rhOPN-BCM. All chemically modified BCMs were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, while their surface morphology was evaluated by field emission-scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy analyses. The amount of p-rhOPN adhered on the membrane was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The immunocytochemistry, two-stage quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and in vitro mineralization analyses strongly suggested that p-rhOPN-BCM could elicit biological functions leading to the enhancement of osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells as effective as BCM conjugated with commercially available rhOPN from mammalian cells (rhOPN-BCM), suggesting its potential to be used as GTR membrane to promote bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Inductive molecules are critical components for successful bone tissue engineering. Dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP1), a non-collagenous protein in the bone matrix, has been shown to play roles in osteogenic differentiation and phosphate homeostasis. This study aimed to produce recombinant human dentin matrix protein-1 (hDMP1) in Nicotiana benthamiana and investigated the ability of this plant-produced DMP1 to induce osteogenesis in human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). The hDMP1 gene was cloned into the geminiviral vector for transient expression in N. benthamiana. We found that hDMP1 was transiently expressed in N. benthamiana leaves and could be purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by nickel affinity chromatography. The effects of hDMP1 on the induction of cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were investigated. The results indicated that plant-produced hDMP1 could induce the cell proliferation of hPDLSCs and increase the expression levels of osteogenic genes, including osterix (OSX), type I collagen (COL1), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2), and Wnt3a. Moreover, the plant-produced hDMP1 promoted calcium deposition in hPDLSCs as determined by alizarin red S staining. In conclusion, our results indicated that plant-produced hDMP1 could induce osteogenic differentiation in hPDLSCs and could potentially be used as a bone inducer in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Recombinant human dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) can be produced in Escherichia coli. E. coli produced DMP1 could induce the expression of osteogenic-related genes and calcium deposition in human PDL cells. This protein has potential to use for improving tooth repair and regeneration in the future.
The study aimed to produce recombinant human dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) and to test, whether the recombinant DMP1 produced in Escherichia coli possesses functional activity. A gene construction comprising a gene encoding for DMP1 protein with polyhistidine sequence at its C-terminus was created using the pET22b plasmid and expressed in E. coli. The optimization of cultivation conditions has enabled the induction of the gene expression with 0.5 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and DMP1 recombinant protein production at 37 °C for 6 h. The recombinant protein was purified using Ni affinity chromatography. DMP1 influence on the viability, osteogenic differentiation and calcification of human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells was examined. The purified DMP1 could induce the expression of osteogenesis related genes and calcium deposition in PDL cells. These findings indicate that DMP1 produced in E. coli can induce the osteogenic differentiation of human PDL cells, leading to improved tooth repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) plays an important role in the bone regeneration process. The plant-produced OPN-Fc increases the protein expression level and facilitates the purification of the recombinant protein. The plant-produced OPN-Fc can stimulate the expression of osteogenic related genes and the calcium deposition in hPDL cells. The plant-produced OPN-Fc has potential application in tissue engineering in the future.
Osteopontin (OPN) plays an important role in the bone regeneration process. Previous investigation showed that recombinant human OPN was able to express in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves and induced the osteogenic related genes. Nevertheless, the purification of OPN from plant proteins with Ni affinity chromatography was still not effective enough. To improve the quality of protein expression and purification in plants, we constructed an Fc-based form of OPN. The complete OPN protein was fused to the human IgG1 Fc domain. Here, we showed that the plant-produced OPN-Fc increases the protein expression level and facilitates the purification of the recombinant protein. Our result showed that the plant-produced OPN-Fc can stimulate the expression of osteogenic related genes such as DMP1, OSX, and Wnt3a and also the calcium deposition in hPDL cells. These findings suggest that the plant-produced OPN-Fc has potential application in tissue engineering in the future.

Abstract
In this report, recombinant human osteopontin synthesized in tobacco plants (p-rhOPN) is introduced as a potential bioactive molecule that can promote osteoblast adhesion and differentiation. A glass substrate (SiO2/Si-OH) grafted with poly(acrylic acid) (SiO2/Si-PAA) was prepared by surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and used as a carboxyl-rich platform for the chemical conjugation of p-rhOPN. The PAA grafting and subsequent p-rhOPN immobilization were confirmed by water contact angle, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy analyses. Indirect ELISA quantification revealed that the p-rhOPN immobilization efficiency was above 95% and the surface coverage was a function of the p-rhOPN concentration. MC-3T3-E1 cells cultured on the SiO2/Si-PAA substrate immobilized with various concentrations (0.6-30 ng/mL) of p-rhOPN (SiO2/Si-p-rhOPN) exhibited superior cell spreading compared to those cultured on SiO2/Si-OH or gelatin-modified glass substrate (SiO2/Si-gelatin). Polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that the SiO2/Si-p-rhOPN substrates with high level of immobilized p-rhOPN promoted MC-3T3-E1 cell differentiation, as demonstrated by the higher transcript expression levels of the osteogenic differentiation regulatory gene, Runt-related transcription factor 2, compared to cells cultured on SiO2/Si-OH or SiO2/Si-gelatin. Given that p-rhOPN can be more economically produced than the commercially available OPN derived from human or mammalian sources, then, together with its well-preserved biological function in spite of being chemically conjugated to the substrates, it is likely that p-rhOPN could be more broadly applied for the development of materials for bone tissue engineering with a promising medical and commercial value.
