ABSTRACT
Effective treatments for critical size bone defects remain challenging. 6-Bromoindirubin-3'-Oxime (BIO), a glycogen synthase kinase 3ß inhibitor, is a promising alternative for treatment of these defects since it aids in promoting osteogenic differentiation. In this study, BIO is incorporated into a new formulation of the guanosine diphosphate cross-linked chitosan scaffold to promote osteogenic differentiation. BIO incorporation was confirmed with 13C NMR through a novel concentration dependent peak around 41 ppm. The rapid gelation rate was maintained along with the internal structure's stability. The 10 µM BIO dose supported the control scaffold's microstructure demonstrating a suitable porosity and a low closed pore percentage. While pore sizes of BIO incorporated scaffolds were slightly smaller, pore heterogeneity was maintained. A proof-of-concept study with C2C12 cells suggested a dose-dependent response of BIO on early stages of osteogenic differentiation within the scaffold. These results support future work to examine BIO's role on osteogenic differentiation and biomineralization of encapsulated cells in the scaffold for bone regeneration.
