In bone tissue engineering composite materials have been introduced, combining a degradable polymer matrix with, for instance, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to improve mechanical properties or with microhydroxyapatite (mu HA) to improve osteoconduction. The addition of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) can further improve the biological response to the material. However, the influence of such an elaborate composite formation on osteoprogenitor cells is unknown. To examine this, rat bone marrow (RBM) cells were cultured on porous poly-I-lactic acid and composite scaffolds, with or without added BMP-2. Cell proliferation and differentiation were studied using DNA, alkaline phosphatase and scanning electron microscopic analysis. Further, genetic profiles were examined by microarray investigation. Results showed that the composite scaffold had no significant effect on the proliferation of RBM cells, but indicated a negative effect on cell differentiation. The addition of BMP-2 also had no significant effect on the proliferation of RBM cells, but differentiation towards the osteogenic lineage was confirmed. In the arrays results, the addition of BMP-2 alone led to the expression of genes involved in (minor) inflammation. The composite scaffold, and even more distinctly the combination of the composite scaffold with BMP-2, led to the expression of genes, based on gene ontology, connected to tumorigenesis. Therefore, CNT- and mu HA-containing composite materials are not recommended as a bone restorative material. (C) 2010 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
