Herein, a colorimetric detection strategy for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was established based on an Fe-doped carbon-based nanozyme. By doping Fe into a Zn MOF and introducing dicyandiamide for pyrolysis, we obtained a two-dimensional carbon nanosheet with exceptional peroxidase-mimicking activity (Fe/C NS). The Fe/C NS has superior affinity to H2O2, can decompose H2O2 into reactive oxygen species, and further oxidize reducing substances such as phenol. ALP can hydrolyze disodium phenyl phosphate into phenol, while the Fe/C NS can promote the reaction between phenol and 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of H2O2 to produce red quinone imine. Based on the changes of absorbance of the reaction system, ALP activity can be detected in a range of 0.05–6.00 U·L–1 with a detection limit of 0.03 U·L–1. Furthermore, we developed a quantitative relationship between ALP activity and color characteristic values by recording the RGB (red, green, and blue) values of color changes under different ALP concentrations, realizing the convenient determination of ALP activity without specific analytical equipment. This work can effectively broaden the application of nanozymes in biological analysis.

As a typical biomarker for disease diagnosis in clinical practice, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) plays a critical role in regulating the dephosphorylation process of biomolecules. On this account, exploration of an effective and simple means of ALP activity measurement becomes very significant. In this work, we report a catalytic reaction-based colorimetric method for the monitoring of ALP activity via employing nanostructured MnO2 as a favorable oxidase mimic. The prepared MnO2 microspheres exhibit good oxidase-like capacity to induce the catalytic oxidation of colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to deep-blue TMBox; when ALP hydrolyzes ascorbic acid phosphate, the produced ascorbic acid (AA) with a certain reducing power can destroy the MnO2 enzyme mimic by reducing it to Mn2+, dramatically suppressing the TMB chromogenic reaction. Based on the strategy, a convenient and high-performance colorimetric method was established for ALP activity sensing, giving a wide linear range from 0.5 to 120 U L−1. With the help of N-ethylmaleimide as an efficient masking agent for biothiols, the colorimetric approach could provide excellent specificity for ALP activity detection. Reliable and precise measurement of the analyte in practical samples was also verified by our assay, indicating its promise as a feasible tool for clinical diagnosis.

To improve the success of medical devices, implants with strong surface bioactivity are urgently required. Coatings with a macroporous structure produced by micro-arc oxidation possess advantages, such as strong adhesion to substrate and excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. Mesoporous structures contain pores with sizes of 2–50 nm, which can endow the biomaterials with the ability to enhance osteogenesis and to be loaded with diverse drugs. Thus, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of both macroporous and mesoporous structures using a hierarchical macro/mesoporous structure to modify the titanium implant surface. The behaviors of SaOS-2 human osteosarcoma cells on the macro/mesoporous structure, including initial adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and collagen secretion, were investigated. Cells that attached on the macro/mesoporous surface showed the highest cell numbers and greatest spreading area after incubation for 1, 2, and 4 h compared with the polished smooth substrate and macroporous surface in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS). However, in the absence of FBS, cell adhesion on the polished substrate, macroporous structure, and macro/mesoporous structure did not differ significantly. Cell proliferation on the macroporous and macro/mesoporous surfaces increased compared with that on the smooth substrate surface. Furthermore, ALP activity and collagen secretion were enhanced on the macro/mesoporous structure. Our findings provided important insights into the cellular responses to macro/mesoporous structures in the field of implant surface modification. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Purpose MXenes are two-dimensional (2D) materials that are increasingly being applied in biomedical fields. This is ascribed to their good physiochemical properties, unique structure and high biological compatibility. However, the osteogenic activity and suitability of these materials for bone tissue engineering are not clearly understood. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the biocompatibility, osteoinductivity and guided bone regeneration ability of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene in vitro and in vivo. Methods Multilayered Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene films were prepared and characterized by XRD and SEM. In vitro experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of MXene films on cell adhesion and morphology with SEM and fluorescence microscopy. The cytotoxicity of MXene films was detected with the Live/Dead double-staining tests. The EdU assay was employed to evaluate cell proliferation on MXene films and ALP activity was tested to determine the effect of the films on osteogenic differentiation in vitro. The mRNA expression of osteogenic differentiation-related markers was measured using qRT-PCR. In vivo animal studies were performed in which the MXene films were implanted subcutaneously in rats to evaluate biocompatibility and host tissue response in vivo. In addition, a rat calvarial defect model was established to examine the bone regeneration performance of the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene films. The specimens were analyzed with micro-CT evaluation and histological tests. Results The XRD and SEM analyses revealed that the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene film was successfully synthesized. The cellular experiments showed that MXene films were highly cytocompatible and enhanced osteogenic differentiation in vitro. When implanted into subcutaneous sites and calvarial defect sites in rats, MXene films showed good biocompatibility, osteoinductivity and bone regeneration activity in vivo. Conclusion In summary, this study presents new applications of MXenes in bone tissue engineering and in guided bone regeneration therapy.

The purpose of the nano-porous TiO 2 modification on TC26 (Ti-13 Nb-13Zr) alloy is to settle the issue that the surface inertness of titanium alloys restricts bioactivity and osseointegration of artificial implants . Secondary constant current anodization was conducted to realize the efficient fabrication of the TiO 2 composite nano-porous arrays containing the terminal small-diameter nanopores and the upper large-diameter nanotubes . The oxygen bubble mould theory has revealed the anodization mechanism of the TiO 2 nano-porous arrays. The anodization parameters and heat treatment conditions are both able to elicit influence on morphology, chemical composition , surface properties and biocompatibility of the as-fabricated samples. The interaction of MC3TC-E1 mouse pre-osteoblasts with a series of TiO 2 nano-porous arrays fabricated by primary anodization (PA) and secondary anodization (SA) was investigated by the MTT assay and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay. The response of the seeded MC3TC-E1 pre-osteoblasts to the as-fabricated samples with various nano-scale dimensions has indicated that appropriate nano-porous morphologies and heat treatment conditions have the capacity to augment cell adhesion, growth, differentiation and functionality. Such fabrication route in this research has provided a promising prospect for development of artificial implants.

Cellular responses can be regulated and manipulated through combining stimuli-responsive biomaterial with external stimulus. In this present, the magneto-responsive CoFe 2 O 4 /P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposite coatings were designed to understand cell behaviors of preosteoblasts, as well as get insight into the underlying mechanism of osteogenic differentiation under static magnetic field (SMF). CoFe 2 O 4 /P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposite coatings with differential magnetic property (low, medium and high magnetization) were prepared by incorporation of different mass fraction of CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles (6%, 13 %, 20 %) into P(VDF-TrFE) matrix. Cell experiments indicated that all nanocomposite coatings with the assistance of SMF could promote the cell attachment, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Among different nanocomposite coatings, low magnetization coating (6%) showed a higher ALP activity and gene expression of Runx2, Col-I, OCN. Molecular biology assays demonstrated that the combination of nanocomposite coatings and SMF could significantly up-regulate the expression level of α2β1 integrin and p-ERK. Whereas, the addition of inhibitor U0126 down-regulated sharply the expression level of p-ERK, which indicated that cellular osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells was governed through α2β1 integrin-mediated MEK/ERK signaling pathways during CoFe 2 O 4 /P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposite coatings were combined with SMF. This work provided a promising strategy to enhance cellular osteogenic differentiation through a remote-control manner, which exhibited great potential in the application of bone tissue repair and regeneration.

Electrospun composite membranes in multiscale structures are developed for bone tissue engineering. Aligned polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers entrapping CA-HAp microparticles (containing CaCO 3 , hydroxyapatite, and casein in a hierarchical organization) are electrospun to find whether synergistic effects of fiber alignment and CA-HAp microparticles on improving osteogenic differentiation can be obtained. CA-HAp microparticles are in a spherical morphology of 1.42 ± 0.26 µm. Their presence increases fiber diameter and does not significantly affect fiber alignment. On all membranes, adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) from humans spread very well. On a random group, cells distribute randomly and the presence of CA-HAp microparticles facilitates cell proliferation, especially for the one at CA-HAp/PCL 50 wt%; the one at CA-HAp/PCL 20 wt% shows significantly much higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity (112.0% higher) than the pure PCL membrane. On aligned samples, cells align along fibers and expression of ALP is enhanced. However, at the same composition (CA-HAp/PCL 20 wt%), the random sample has much higher ALP activity than the aligned sample. The expressions of osteogenic marker genes are also evaluated. Combining the results and the applicability of membranes together, the random membrane at CA-HAp/PCL 20 wt% is the best candidate for bone tissue engineering.

In this paper, given the lack of osteogenic activity of sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel and to simulate the composition of natural bone, ionic-crosslinking NBG/n-HA/SA hydrogel scaffolds were prepared by using nano bioactive glass (NBG) and nano hydroxyapatite (n-HA) with high bioactivity as composite calcium sources and reinforcement phases, and D-gluconic acid δ-lactone (GDL) as the coagulant. The results showed that the mixture of the precursor forming the network had good injectability and plasticity. When the dosage of GDL was 0.75 g, the gelling time of the composite hydrogel could be regulated within 4–8 min, and the hydrogel had high compressive strength (170–220 kPa), as well. When the mass ratio of calcium source to SA was 1:1, the crosslinking network was relatively uniform with a considerable number of large pores around 40 μm in the structure. In the immersion experiment in vitro, it was found that the composite hydrogel could promote the deposition of bone-like apatite on the material's surface. Meanwhile, the cell experiments in vitro verified that the NBG/n-HA/SA composite hydrogel had good cytocompatibility without cytotoxicity. Moreover, the composite hydrogel could enhance the activity of ALP of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells , and thus, it had good osteogenic activity.

Hydrogels with great biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical properties, combined with osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, and osteointegration as biomaterials for bone regeneration without adding exogenous growth factors and cells are highly appealing but challenging. Here, inspired by organic-inorganic analogues of natural bone tissue and the adhesion chemistry of mussels, nanocomposite hydrogels with self-healing, injectable, adhesive, antioxidant, and osteoinductive properties (termed GO-PHA-CPs) were constructed by Schiff base cross-linking between dopamine-modified gelatin (Gel-DA) and oxidized dextran (ODex). Furthermore, the hydrogel network was enhanced by the introduction of polydopamine-functionalized nanohydroxyapatite (PHA) by improving the interfacial compatibility between the rigid inorganic particles and the flexible hydrogel matrix. Bioactive cod peptides (CPs) with osteogenic activity from Atlantic cod were further incorporated into the nanocomposite hydrogel. As a result, the multicomponent nanocomposite hydrogel favored the adhesion and spreading of MC3T3-E1 cells. The increased ALP activity suggested that GO-PHA-CPs hydrogels contributed to the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. The suitability of GO-PHA-CPs hydrogels for enhancing bone regeneration in vivo was further confirmed by the rat femoral defect model. Our results indicate that the multifunctional GO-PHA-CPs nanocomposite hydrogels without growth factors are a promising and effective candidate material for bone regeneration.
