Incorporation of nanosized calcium silicate improved osteointegration of polyetheretherketone under diabetic conditions
Abstract
Diabetes can impair osteoblastic functions and negatively interfere with osteointegration at the bone/implant interface. Previously, we prepared a nanosized calcium silicate (CS) incorporated-polyetheretherketone (PK) biocomposite (CS/PK) and found that the CS/PK composite exhibited enhanced osteoblast functions in vitro and osteointegration in vivo, but its bioperformance under diabetic conditions remained elusive. In this study, MC3T3-E1 cells incubated on CS/PK and PK samples were subjected to diabetic serum (DS) and normal serum (NS); cell attachment, morphology, spreading, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation were compared to assess in vitro osteoblastic functions on the surfaces of different materials. An in vivo test was performed on diabetic rabbits implanted with CS/PK or PK implants into the cranial bone defect to assess the osteointegration ability of the implants. In vitro results showed that diabetes inhibited osteoblastic functions evidenced by impaired morphology and spreading, and decreased attachment, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation compared with the findings under normal conditions. Notably, CS/PK ameliorated osteoblastic disfunction under diabetic conditions in vitro. In vivo results from micro-CT and histologic examinations revealed that rabbits with CS/PK implants exhibited improved osteointegration at the bone/implant interface under diabetic conditions compared with PK. Therefore, the CS/PK composite improved the impaired…
