Development of Injectable Demineralized- Bone and Hydroxyapatite-Nanoparticle Composite as a Bone Graft Material for Effective Healing of Rat Calvarial Defect

초록/요약

Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) stands out for its remarkable osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, contributing to its efficacy in promoting bone healing and regeneration. However, it is prone to rapid resorption before substantial bone regeneration occurs. Our goal is to optimize an injectable formulation of DBM by integrating osteoconductive hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANP) to regulate resorption rates and enhance bone regeneration in bone defects. We formulated an injectable bone composite by mixed different ratio of DBM/HANP with varying concentrations of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) ranging from 5 wt% to 7 wt%, maintain a constant DBM/HANP:CMC as ratio 40:60 wt%. The viscoelasticity characteristic of the injectable composite increased with higher concentrations of CMC and DBM in the mixture. During syringe-based evaluations, DBM/HANP(50/50) with 5-7% CMC showed positive handling traits, including injectability, aggregation strength, composite adhesion, and shape retention. Additional extrusion tests showed higher extrusion pressures with increasing CMC concentrations. Based on these findings, we selected DBM/HANP(50/50)-5% CMC as the final injectable formulation. Subsequently, we compared the bone regeneration potential of DBM-5% CMC group and DBM/HANP(50/50)-5% CMC group in a skull defect site for 2 weeks and 8 weeks. Micro-CT, H&E stain, and Masson's trichrome stain (MTS) confirmed significantly enhanced new bone formation in the DBM/HANP(50/50)-5% CMC group compared to DBM-5% CMC. In conclusion, we effectively developed an injectable composite with an optimal blend of DBM and HANP, demonstrating good physical handling and injectability. Additionally, this formulation notably enhances bone healing in the surgery site.
