This study investigates the use of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) with varying collagen content as drug carriers for human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2). It is found that significant amounts of rhBMP-2 can be immobilized in all multilayer systems and its release can be specifically tuned through cross-linking. Furthermore, the immobilized rhBMP-2 in collagen-rich coatings has a higher influence on osteoprogenitor cell differentiation compared to unloaded layers.
Polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) are versatile tools used to investigate fundamental interactions between material-related parameters and the resulting performance in stem cell differentiation, respectively, in bone tissue engineering. In the present study, we investigate the suitability of PEMs with a varying collagen content for use as drug carriers for the human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2). We use three different PEM systems consisting either of the positively charged poly-L-lysine or the glycoprotein collagen type I and the negatively charged glycosaminoglycan heparin. For a specific modification of the loading capacity and the release kinetics, the PEMs were stepwise cross-linked before loading with cytokine. We demonstrate the possibility of immobilizing significant amounts of rhBMP-2 in all multilayer systems and to specifically tune its release via cross-linking. Furthermore, we prove that the drug release of rhBMP-2 plays only a minor role in the differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells. We find a significantly higher influence of the immobilized rhBMP-2 within the collagen-rich coatings that obviously represent an excellent mimicry of the native extracellular matrix. The cytokine immobilized in its bioactive form was able to achieve an increase in orders of magnitude both in the early stages of differentiation and in late calcification compared to the unloaded layers.
