Abstract

3D-printing and additive manufacturing can be powerful techniques to design customized structures and produce synthetic bone grafts with multifunctional effects suitable for bone repair. In our work we aimed the development of novel multifunctionalized 3D printed poly(lactic acid) (PLA) scaffolds with bioinspired surface coatings able to reduce bacterial biofilm formation while favoring human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) activity. For that purpose, 3D printing was used to prepare PLA scaffolds that were further multifunctionalized with collagen (Col), minocycline (MH) and bioinspired citrate- hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (cHA). PLA-Col-MH-cHA scaffolds provide a closer structural support approximation to native bone architecture with uniform macroporous, adequate wettability and an excellent compressive strength. The addition of MH resulted in an adequate antibiotic release profile that by being compatible with local drug delivery therapy was translated into antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, a main pathogen associated to bone-related infections. Subsequently, the hMSCs response to these scaffolds revealed that the incorporation of cHA significantly stimulated the adhesion, proliferation and osteogenesis-related gene expression (RUNX2, OCN and OPN) of hMSCs. Furthermore, the association of a bioinspired material (cHA) with the antibiotic MH resulted in a combined effect of an enhanced osteogenic activity. These findings, together with the antibiofilm activity depicted strengthen the appropriateness of this 3D-printed PLA-Col-MH-cHA scaffold for future use in bone repair. By targeting bone repair while mitigating the typical infections associated to bone implants, our 3D scaffolds deliver an integrated strategy with the combined effects further envisaging an increase in the success rate of bone-implanted devices.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
