ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare a new osteoinduction hydroxyapatite crystal material using sintered bovine bone combined with bone morphogenetic protein(BMP2)-derived peptide and type Ⅰ collagen,and to study their biological characteristics for developing biomaterials for orthopaedic tissue engineered bone.Methods Sintered bovine bone combined with BMP2-derived peptide and type Ⅰ collagen was as experimental group.and Sintered bovine bone combined with Type Ⅰ collagen Wag as control group.Formation of hydmxyapatite crystals was inveati gated under environmental scanning electron microscopy(ESEM),energy-dispersive spectroscopy(EDS)and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The ceil-material complex Wag observed and cell adhesion rate on each materials WaS calculated using the method of indirect cell count to evaluate the interaction between cells and materials.Results By ESEM,formation of hydroxyapatite crystals in collagen surface was observed in experimental group but none was observed in control group.By EDS and XRD,the contents of calcium and phosphorus elements from mineralized bone surface were 16.23% and 7.76%respectively.The atom percentages of calcium and phosphorus elements were 6.34%and 3.88%respectively.The cell adhesion rate of experimental group after 24 hours co-culture was significantly higher than that of control group (α＜0.05).Conclusion BMP2-derived peptide can induce the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals at the surface of sintered bovine bone combined with type Ⅰcollagen.It can also elevate the osteoinduction and cell adhesion rate and is an ideal scaffold material by combining with sintered bovine bone for the bone tissue engineering.
