BMP‐2 tethered hydroxyapatite for bone tissue regeneration: Coating chemistry and osteoblast attachment

Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using polyethyleneimine (PEI) and a polyethylene glycol (PEG) tether to bind human recombinant bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (rhBMP‐2) to hydroxyapatite (HAp) to enhance rhBMP‐2 loading, alter its release properties, and enhance cellular interaction with the material. By using a branched PEI that was derived to express free thiols, rhBMP‐2 was coated onto dense HAp surfaces at ∼43 ng/cm2. Using this novel attachment methodology, it was observed that the PEI‐SH coating did not change the morphology of the HAp surfaces and that the amount of rhBMP‐2 loaded was comparable to a direct adsorption method. In addition, it was also observed that the PEI and PEG tether significantly retained the rhBMP‐2 to the HAp surface, inhibiting the burst release effect. Using human fetal osteoblast cells, the PEI‐ and PEG‐tethered BMP‐2 was also observed to increase cellular attachment by 10‐fold when compared with uncoated HAp and adsorbed rhBMP‐2. It was concluded from this study that PEI and PEG tether significantly reduce the initial burst release effect of rhBMP‐2. It was also concluded that the rhBMP‐2 conjugation to PEI and PEG tether promoted an increase in cellular attachment to the HAp surface. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synergistic influence of collagen I and BMP 2 drives osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells: A cell microarray analysis

“…Cell attachment was dependent on the identity of the printed proteins and also the solution concentration used for printing. Both Coll I and BMP 2 were shown to facilitate cell capture, correlating with other studies [3,8,[52][53][54]. On spots printed with low protein content formulations, cell attachment was observed to be poor.…”

BMP2-loaded hollow hydroxyapatite microspheres exhibit enhanced osteoinduction and osteogenicity in large bone defects

“…If required, the initial release of BMP2 from hollow HA microspheres can be optimized by adjusting either the amount of BMP2 loaded, the composition and structure of the HA with varying amounts of carbonate substitution, or tethering other polymer materials. 17 This study also showed that BMP2-loaded hollow HA microspheres had a high capacity to regenerate bone in vivo, when compared to hollow HA microspheres without BMP2 or soluble BMP2 without a carrier. As early as 4 weeks, we …”

“…Among them, hydroxyapatite (HA) has shown several striking advantages over other carriers for BMP2 delivery to regenerate large bone defects. 10,[16][17][18][19] HA is a bioactive ceramic with chemical composition similar to the mineral component of bone, which accounts for its excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. [20][21][22] HA has been used in bone repair for bone augmentation, coating implants, and as bone filler.…”

Pediatric patients tolerance: a comparative study about using of Er:YAG laser and self-adhesive flowable composite for treatment of primary decayed teeth

“…These features allow the material to present a geometric configuration similar to natural bone and, according to Ripamonti et al (12), allow this material to adsorb the bioactive proteins and the grow factors concentrated in the clot. It allows the progressive releasing of these factors, able to induce migration, adhesion and proliferation of cells inside the pore network and to promote a faster angiogenesis and a more effective osteo-genesis inside these pores (19)(20)(21). Theoretical data was confirmed by clinical outcome (22).…”
