Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Orthopedic Research

Background:

  • Porous titanium fiber mesh is a potential scaffold for bone regeneration.
  • Calcium phosphate (Ca-P) coatings can improve the osteoconductivity of biomaterials.
  • The efficacy of Ca-P coated titanium fiber mesh with seeded cells needs further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the osteogenic activity of porous titanium fiber mesh and Ca-P coated titanium fiber mesh loaded with cultured rat bone marrow (RBM) cells.
  • To evaluate the effect of Ca-P coating on bone formation within titanium scaffolds in a rat ectopic model.

Main Methods:

  • A syngeneic rat ectopic assay model was used with 30 rats.
  • Subcutaneous implantation of Ca-P coated and non-coated porous titanium implants, with or without RBM cells.

  • Fluorochrome bone markers were administered at 2, 4, and 6 weeks.
  • Histological analysis of retrieved implants at 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-operation.

    • Main Results:

    • Neither coated nor non-coated meshes alone supported bone formation.
    • RBM-loaded implants initiated bone formation at 2 weeks, increasing by 4 weeks.
    • At 8 weeks, non-coated implants showed no bone formation, while Ca-P coated implants retained bone.
    • Ca-P coated implants demonstrated greater bone formation compared to non-coated implants.

    Conclusions:

    • The combination of titanium fiber mesh and RBM cells effectively generates bone formation.
    • A thin Ca-P coating significantly enhances the bone-generating capacity of titanium scaffolds.
    • Ca-P coated titanium fiber mesh loaded with osteogenic cells shows potential for bone regeneration therapies.
