Dental pulp regeneration uses stem cells, scaffolds, and growth factors in tissue engineering. Collagen is commonly used as a biomaterial scaffold due to its compatibility and similarity to natural extracellular matrix. Adding biomolecules, such as acemannan, to a collagen scaffold enhances pulp regeneration by improving physical and biological properties.
Dental pulp regeneration exploits tissue engineering concepts using stem cells/scaffolds/growth-factors. Extracted collagen is commonly used as a biomaterial-scaffold due to its biocompatibility/biodegradability and mimics the natural extracellular matrix. Adding biomolecules into a collagen-scaffold enhanced pulp regeneration. Acemannan, beta-(1-4)-acetylated-polymannose, is a polysaccharide extracted from aloe vera. Ace-mannan is a regenerative biomaterial. Therefore, acemannan could be a biomolecule in a collagen-scaffold. Here, acemannan and native collagen were obtained and characterized. The AceCol-scaffold's physical properties were investigated using FTIR, SEM, contact angle, swelling, pore size, porosity, compressive modulus, and degradation assays. The AceCol-scaffold's biocompatibility, growth factor secretion, osteogenic protein expression, and calcification were evaluated in vitro. The AceCol-scaffolds demonstrated higher hydrophilicity, swelling, porosity, and larger pore size than the collagen scaffolds (p < 0.05). Better cell-cell and cell-scaffold adhesion, and dentin extracellular matrix protein (BSP/OPN/DSPP) expression were observed in the AceCol-scaffold, however, DSPP expression was not detected in the collagen group. Significantly increased cellular prolifera-tion, VEGF and BMP2 expression, and mineralization were detected in the AceCol-scaffold compared with the collagen-scaffold (p < 0.05). Computer simulation revealed that acemannan's 3D structure changes to bind with collagen. In conclusion, the AceCol-scaffold synergistically provides better physical and biological properties than collagen. The AceCol-scaffold is a promising material for tissue regeneration.
