Regenerating bone tissue in critical-sized craniofacial bone defects remains challenging and requires the implementation of innovative bone implants with early stage osteogenesis and blood vessel formation. Vitamin D3 is incorporated into MgO-doped 3D-printed scaffolds for defect-specific and patient-specific implants in low load-bearing areas. This novel bone implant also promotes early stage osteogenesis and blood vessel development. Our results show that vitamin D3-loaded MgO-doped 3D-printed scaffolds enhance osteoblast cell proliferation 1.3-fold after being cultured for 7 days. Coculture studies on osteoblasts derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and osteoclasts derived from monocytes show the upregulation of genes related to osteoblastogenesis and the downregulation of RANK-L, which is essential for osteoclastogenesis. Release of vitamin D3 also inhibits osteoclast differentiation by 1.9-fold after a 21-day culture. After 6 weeks, vitamin D3 release from MgO-doped 3D-printed scaffolds enhances the new bone formation, mineralization, and angiogenic potential. The multifunctional 3D-printed scaffolds can improve early stage osteogenesis and blood vessel formation in craniofacial bone defects.
在临界尺寸的颅面骨缺损中再生骨组织仍然具有挑战性,需要采用具有早期成骨和血管形成能力的创新型骨植入物。将维生素 D3 掺入到 MgO 掺杂的 3D 打印支架中,用于在低承载区域进行特定于缺损和特定于患者的植入物。这种新型骨植入物还可以促进早期成骨和血管发育。我们的结果表明,在培养 7 天后,负载维生素 D3 的 MgO 掺杂 3D 打印支架可使成骨细胞增殖 1.3 倍。对源自人骨髓间充质干细胞(hMSCs)的成骨细胞和源自单核细胞的破骨细胞的共培养研究表明,与成骨细胞生成相关的基因上调,而对破骨细胞生成至关重要的 RANK-L 下调。培养 21 天后,维生素 D3 的释放还使破骨细胞分化抑制 1.9 倍。6 周后,MgO 掺杂 3D 打印支架中维生素 D3 的释放增强了新骨形成、矿化和血管生成潜力。多功能 3D 打印支架可以改善颅面骨缺损中的早期成骨和血管形成。
