In this study, a silicon-doped nano-hydroxyapatite (nSiHA)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) composite coating with a hierarchical micro/nano-network structure is constructed on the surface of a 3D-printed porous Ti scaffold. The functionalized Ti scaffold not only has excellent osteoinduction ability but can also immobilize and release vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The functionalized Ti scaffold shows great potential in bone tissue regeneration and is a promising candidate for load-bearing bone defect repair.
Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been extensively explored for treating load-bearing bone defects. However, high-stress shielding, weak osteogenic activity, and insufficient vascularization remain key challenges for the long-term clinical outcomes of Ti-based implants. Herein, inspired by structural and functional cues of bone regeneration, a silicon-doped nano-hydroxyapatite (nSiHA)/titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) composite coating with a hierarchical micro/nano-network structure is constructed on the surface of a 3D-printed porous Ti scaffold via a combined strategy of acid-alkali (AA) treatment and electrochemical deposition technique, which not only endows the scaffold with excellent osteoinduction ability but can also effectively immobilize and release vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The results of the in vitro cell experiments show that the functionalized Ti scaffold significantly promotes osteogenesis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by activating the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and HIF-1 alpha signaling pathways. After being implanted into a rat femoral condyle defect model, the functionalized Ti scaffold can induce in situ vascularized bone regeneration by orchestrating the two coupled processes of angiogenesis and osteogenesis. These findings indicate that the functionalized Ti scaffold has great potential in bone tissue regeneration and is a promising candidate for load-bearing bone defect repair.
