    Abstract: Calcium phosphate (CaP)/polymer composites have

    been studied as an alternative graft material for the treatment

    of bone defects. In this study, lysine-triisocyanate-based poly-

    urethane (PUR) composites were synthesized from both hy-

    droxyapatite (HA) and b-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) to reduce

    the brittleness of CaP and increase the bioactivity of the poly-

    mer. The mechanical properties and in vitro cellular responsewere investigated for both HA/PUR and TCP/PUR composites.

    The composites were implanted in femoral defects in rats,

    and in vivo bioactivity was evaluated by X-rays, micro-com-

    puted tomography (lCT), and histological sections. In biome-

    chanical testing, PUR improved the mechanical properties of

    the CaP, thus rendering it potentially suitable for weight-bear-

    ing applications. In vitro cell culture studies showed that CaP/

    PUR composites are biocompatible, with b-TCP enhancing

    the cell viability and proliferation relative to HA. CaP/PUR

    composites also supported the differentiation of osteoblastic

    cells on the materials. When implanted in rat femoral defects,

    the CaP/PUR composites were biocompatible and osteocon-

    ductive with no adverse inflammatory response, as evi-

    denced by X-rays, lCT images, and histological sections.

    Additionally, a histological examination showed evidence ofcellular infiltration and appositional remodeling. These

    results suggest that CaP/PUR composites could be potentially

    useful biomaterials for weight-bearing orthopaedic implants.

    INTRODUCTION

    Calcium phosphates (CaP) have been extensively investi-

    gated for treating osseous defects. Hydroxyapatite (HA) and

    tricalcium phosphate (TCP) have been shown to be osteo-

    conductive.1 The composition of bone is approximately 70%

    mineral content, which is primarily HA.2 Thus because of its

    natural presence in bone, synthetic HA is an attractive bone

    substitute. HA is prepared from the hydrothermal conver-

    sion of bone or naturally occurring coralline apatite, and it

    can be synthesized with variable porosity.3 TCP is a biocom-

    patible and bioactive ceramic that has been demonstrated

    to bond to bone directly.

    4,5

    Whereas HA bone cements ex-hibit compressive strengths in the range of 450 MPa,6,7

    TCP has a significantly lower strength than HA.3 Despite

    their favorable biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, both

    HA and TCP are subject to brittle fracture and graft migra-

    tion, potentially requiring additional surgeries for repair or

    removal.3,8,9

    CaP/polymer composites have been synthesized to

    reduce the brittleness of CaP as well as to increase the bio-

    activity of the polymer.8 Multiple polymeric systems have

    been used to prepare CaP composites with varying poros-

    ities and compositions.10 HA/chitosan/PLA composites syn-

    thesized using in situ precipitation with 5080 wt % HA

    exhibit compressive elastic modulus and strength values in

    the range of 416857 MPa and 166256 MPa, respec-

    tively.11 HA/PLA composites synthesized using solvent cast-

    ing at lower HA contents (3040 wt %) can have a bendingstrength and modulus as high as 269 MPA and 7.6 GPa,

    respectively.1215 These composites remodeled almost com-

    pletely when implanted as intramedullary rods in the distal

    femur of rabbits after five to seven years.12

    samples. Calcein AM dye is retained within live cells, imparting

    green fluorescence (excitation/emission: 495/515 nm). Cell

    proliferation was assessed qualitatively by fluorescent images

    acquired with an Olympus DP71 camera attached to a fluores-

    cent microscope (Olympus CKX41, U-RFLT50). Osteoblastic

    cell proliferation on CaP/PUR composites was quantitatively

    evaluated using PicoGreen assays (n 4). After the cells were

    removed from the discs using 0.25% trypsin and 1 mMethyle-nediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, Invitrogen), DNA content

    was measured using the Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA assay kit

    (Invitrogen-Molecular Probes) according to the manufacturers

    instructions. The fluorescence intensity was measured at exci-

    tation and emission wavelengths of 495 and 515 nm2.

    The in vitro osteogenic differentiation of osteoblastic cells

    cultured on CaP/PUR composites was evaluated (n 4). A

    cell number of 5 104 was seeded on CaP/PUR composites.

    After confluence, the cell-seeded scaffolds were cultured with

    osteogenic medium containing 2.5% FBS, 10 mM b-glycero-

    phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich), and 100 lg/mL ascorbic acid

    phosphate (Wako, Osaka, Japan) for 1, 4, and 7 days. The cells

    were removed from the CaP/PUR discs, washed with PBS,and lysed with 0.1% Triton X-100. The cells were then sub-

    jected to three freeze/thaw cycles and sonication. The lysates

    (20 lL) were added to 100 lL of substrate buffer (2 mg/mL

    disodium p-nitrophenylphosphate hexahydrate and 0.75M 2-

    amino-2-methyl-1-propanol). After incubation of the mixtures

    at 37C for 30 min, absorbance at 405 nm was measured.

    Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was determined from a

    standard curve generated by employing the reaction of a p-

    nitrophenol solution. ALP activity was normalized by DNA

    content determined using the PicoGreen assay. The Students

    t test and one-way ANOVA with the Bonferroni correction

    was performed for statistical comparison (P< 0.05).

    In vivo rat study

    All surgical procedures were reviewed and approved by the

    Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Male Sprague-

    Dawley rats (Harlan Labs) aged 8 weeks (200250 g) were

    used for this study. A mono-cortical plug bone defect with a

    diameter of 3 mm was created in the distal region of the fe-

    mur diaphysis, and a cylindrical CaP/PUR composite (3 5

    mm2) was implanted into the defect. After 4 weeks, the rats

    were sacrificed and the femurs removed and fixed in 10%

    phosphate-buffered formalin.

    lCT analysis

    Radiological analysis of the defect in the distal femur at week

    4 was performed using a Scanco lCT40 (SCANCO Medical) at

    a voxel size of 24 lm. The X-ray source settings were 55 kVp

    and 145 mA with an integration time of 300 ms.

    Histology

    Rat bones were decalcified with 10% EDTA, dehydrated,

    embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 5 lm thickness. The

    coronal slice sections were stained with hematoxylin and

    eosin (H&E). The specimens were examined with light mi-

    croscopy. Tartrate resistant acid phosphastase (TRAP) stain-

    ing was used to confirm the presence of osteoclasts.

    RESULTS

    Mechanical properties, particle size, in vitro

    degradation

    Figure 1 summarizes the compressive modulus and strength

    values for the CaP/PUR composites, which ranged from 2.5 to

    3.6 GPa and 59.6 to 87.0 MPa, respectively. HA/PUR composites

    exhibited significantly greater compressive modulus and

    strength values than the TCP/PUR composites at both examined

    filler contents. However, the volume fraction of filler did not

    have a significant effect on compressive strength for either type

    of filler. Increasing the filler content for the b-TCP groups had

    no significant effect on the modulus unlike the effects seen for

    the HA group, where the modulus increased with filler content.

    SEM images of the CaP/PUR composites are shown inFigure 2. After compression molding, the particle size was

    reduced from 50150 lm to

    PUR and TCP/PUR composites, which suggests the biocom-

    patibility of CaP/PUR composites. A quantitative analysis

    with a PicoGreen assay also showed that the amount of cellu-

    lar DNA significantly increased at day 5 on both HA/PUR and

    liferation on the TCP/PUR composites was greater than the

    rate of cell growth on HA/PUR composites.ALP activity of the cells seeded on CaP/PUR composites

    (79 wt %) significantly increased when cultured with osteo-

    genic medium (Figure 6). ALP activity showed time-depend-

    ent increases in both HA/PUR and TCP/PUR composites,

    suggesting that the cells can differentiate on the surface ofthe composites. There was no significant difference in ALP

    activity between HA/PUR and TCP/PUR composites.

    lCT analysis

    lCT images from the extracted femurs at week 4 (Figure 7)

    showed new bone formation around both HA/PUR and

    TCP/PUR composites (79 wt %). The material shape

    became irregular at the boundary between the implant and

    newly formed bone in the lCT images. These findings show

    that the composites are osteoconductive and support appo-

    sitional bone growth.

    formation at the surface of both HA/PUR and TCP/PUR

    composites, which is consistent with lCT images. Higher

    magnification images revealed cellular infiltration into the

    materials. No inflammatory response was observed at week

    4. As observed in Figure 8(A), HA/PUR composites showed

    evidence of remodeling near the base of the implant.

    However, the size of the original implants for both treat-

    ment groups changed only minimally, suggesting that theextent of remodeling in the composites was low. Histological

    sections stained for TRAP (Figure 9) showed osteoclast-

    mediated resorption at the boundary between the implants

    and newly formed bone.

    DISCUSSION

    Multiple CaP/polymer composites with varying porosities

    and filler contents have been studied as biomaterials.10

    These systems typically incorporate filler contents far below

    the random close packing limit (RCP) of spheres ($64

    vol%),29 and b-TCP/polymer composites have been reported

    to decrease in strength as the amount of b-TCP increases.10

    However, another study has shown that varying the fillercontent of HA/chitosan (CS) composites has a minimal

    effect on the strength of the composites at loadings under

    80 wt % ($64 vol %).11,29 In this study, varying the filler

    content from 70 to 79 wt % (56.866.2 vol %) for the CaP/

    PUR composites had no significant effect on strength. Con-

    sistent with previous reports that HA is stronger than TCP,3

    HA/PUR composites exhibited greater compressive modulus

    and strength values compared to the b-TCP/PUR compo-

    sites. At the 70 wt % filler content, there were no signifi-

    cant differences in the compressive modulus in the treat-

    ment groups. However, when the filler content was

    increased to 79 wt %, there was a significant difference,

    suggesting a greater contribution of the filler composition at

    the higher loading. Therefore, we focused on 79 wt % CaP/

    PUR composites in the subsequent in vitro and in vivo

    experiments. The strength of the HA/PUR composites (87.0

    MPa) was lower than values reported for chitosan (CS)/HA

    composites, which were also prepared at 80 wt % HA (166

    MPa).11 However, the compressive modulus of HA/PUR

    composite materials (4.3 GPa) was an order of magnitude

    higher than that of the CS/HA composites (416 MPa). Con-

    sidering that compressive modulus and yield strength of the

    PUR alone were 0.99 GPa and 40 MPa, respectively, the CaP

    particles appear to be providing substantial mechanical

    reinforcement of the composites.

    The in vitro degradation rate of CaP/polymer composites

    can vary substantially depending on the polymers and the

    ceramic components, as well as the manufacturing meth-

    ods.3032 The CaP/PUR composites in this study degraded

    slowly in vitro, with the degradation rates in PBS ranging

    from 0.8 to 2.0 wt %/week. The in vitro degradation rates

    of HA/PUR and TCP/PUR composites were similar to those

    measured in other CaP degradation studies,33,34 as evi-

    denced by the fact that both materials retained 8595% of

    their original mass after 7 weeks. Another study has

    reported that CaP/polymer composites degraded more

    slowly and maintained their shape longer than the pure

    polymer.35 However, in the present study, both HA/PUR and

    TCP/PUR composites degraded faster than the PUR control.

    While TCP is more water-soluble than HA,36,37 HA/PUR

    degraded faster than both TCP/PUR and the PUR control in

    this study, suggesting that at early time points the primary

    mechanism of degradation of the HA/PUR composites is dis-

    solution of the HA phase. Additionally, high HA content may

    influence the pH of the surrounding microenvironment,38

    which can influence the polymer degradation rate.39

    Cellular proliferation was higher on the surface of the b-

    TCP composites. Previous studies have suggested thatb-TCP

    can enhance osteoblast viability and proliferation, because

    calcium and phosphate ions stimulate osteoblastic activ-

    ity.3,21,40 In contrast, the dissolution of crystalline HA is

    slow and reduces the pH of the surrounding microenviron-

    ment, thereby slowing cell growth.38 Similarly, in this study,

    the b-TCP/PUR composites supported a significantly higher

    proliferation rate of osteoprogenitor cells compared with

    the HA/PUR composites, which is thought to result from the

    dissolution of b-TCP particles exposed on the surface of

    the composites. Interestingly, the filler type did not have asignificant effect on ALP activity of the cells.

    The remodeling of CaP/polymer composites in vivo has

    been observed in several studies. HA/PLLA composites

    implanted in rabbit femoral plug defects have taken up to

    seven years to resorb and remodel.12 In this study, both ra-

    diographs and histological sections show appositional bone

    growth at the surface of the CaP/PUR composites, which

    has also been observed for allograft/PUR composites

    implanted in the rabbit distal femur.19 However, CaP/PUR

    composites showed substantially less resorption and cellular

    infiltration compared with allograft/PUR composites. Osteo-

    clasts infiltrated and resorbed the CaP/PUR composites

    near the bone-implant interface, as confirmed by TRAP

    staining (Figure 9). Although there is limited evidence of

    remodeling at the early time point investigated (4 weeks),

    infiltration of osteoclasts near the implant-bone interface

    suggests that at later time points the CaP/PUR composites

    may remodel via slow reverse creeping substitution,4143 as

    reported previously for allograft/PUR composites. However,

    the rates of cellular infiltration and resorption were sub-

    stantially less than those observed for allograft/PUR compo-

    sites at similar filler loadings.19 The SEM images (Figure 2)

    indicate that the CaP particles were fractured by the com-

    pression molding process, which reduced the size of many

    of the particles to

  • 7/30/2019 bi bo co vt liu y sinh( V Vn K)1

    8/9

    reported to undergo up to 70% resorption by osteoclasts af-

    ter 14 days,46 resorb faster than HA particles (0.02 lm3

    lm2 day1)47 in vitro. These observations suggest that the

    slower resorption rate of CaP composites could also be

    attributed to the differences in composition between CaP

    and allograft.

    In this study, we examined the in vivo bioactivity of

    CaP/PUR composites using a rat femoral plug defect modelwith a short-term observation period. Large animal models

    with a long-term observation may be required in the future

    to further investigate the osteoconductive ability and full

    remodeling of the materials. However, the data from this

    study suggest the potential of CaP/PUR composites for

    weight-bearing implants as a biocompatible, osteoconduc-

    tive, and resorbable material.

    CONCLUSION

    CaP/PUR composites have been synthesized using a two-

    component polyurethane derived from LTI. The mechanical

    properties of the composites suggest that they could be

    useful for weight-bearing applications because the PURincreased the compressive strength of the CaP. Cell culture

    studies showed that CaP/PUR composites were biocompati-

    ble, with b-TCP further enhancing the cell viability and

    proliferation. CaP/PUR composites also supported the

    osteogenic differentiation of the osteoblastic cells. When

    implanted in the distal femurs of rats, CaP/PUR composites

    were shown to be biocompatible and osteoconductive with

    no adverse responses observed. Histological sections

    revealed evidence of infiltration of osteoclasts and resorp-

    tion of CaP near the bone-implant interface, as well as appo-

    sitional remodeling via slow reverse creeping substitution.

    The current study suggests that CaP/PUR composites could

    be a potentially useful option for weight-bearing implants.
