Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The development of artificial bone has become a hot spot in bone tissue engineering. Clinical practice has proved that single component bone materials can not meet the clinical needs very well. Therefore, the development and application of composite scaffold materials have been paid more concern.
OBJECTIVE: To prepare three-dimensional porous marine shell/cervus and cucumis polypeptide composite scaffold material by 3D printing technology and investigate its biocompatibility.
METHODS: The porous marine shell/ cervus and cucumis polypeptide composite scaffold material was prepared by 3D printing technology. Its composition, microstructure and mechanical strength of the material were investigated. The toxicity of porous marine shell/lugua polypeptide bioscaffold materials to osteoblasts was detected by inverted microscopy and CCK-8 assay. The growth and adhesion of osteoblasts on the porous marine shell/ cervus and cucumis polypeptide composite scaffold material was determined by scanning electron microscopy. The biocompatibility of porous marine shell/cervus and cucumis polypeptide composite scaffold material was determined by acute toxicity test, muscle implantation test and bone defect implantation experiment. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Military Medical University, China.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The porous marine shell/cervus and cucumis polypeptide composite scaffold material was mainly composed of calcium carbonate and biological polypeptide, with 10 MP or more compressive strength, more than 85%porosity, and 50-100 μm pore diameter. Osteoblasts grew well in the porous marine shell/cervus and cucumis polypeptide composite scaffold material, and cell viability was strong. The cytotoxicity of the scaffold material was grade 1. Osteoblasts could adhere and proliferate on the surface of the scaffold material. The scaffold material could be degraded in vivo, did not cause systemic toxicity in animals, had no muscle stimulation reaction, and could promote the repair of bone defects. These results suggest that porous marine shell/cervus and cucumis polypeptide composite scaffold material has excellent mechanical properties, three-dimensional spatial structure, good cytocompatibility and histocompatibility.
