Preparation of antibacterial and osteoconductive 3D-printed PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 nanocomposite scaffolds for infected bone repair

Abstract Background The repair of large bone defects is a great challenge in clinical practice. In this study, copper-loaded-ZIF-8 nanoparticles and poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) were combined to fabricate porous PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds using three-dimensional printing technology for infecte...

description Abstract Background The repair of large bone defects is a great challenge in clinical practice. In this study, copper-loaded-ZIF-8 nanoparticles and poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) were combined to fabricate porous PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds using three-dimensional printing technology for infected bone repair. Methods The surface morphology of PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds were co-cultured with bacteria to determine their antibacterial properties, and with murine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to explore their biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties. The bioactivity of the PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds was evaluated by incubating in simulated body fluid. Results The results revealed that the PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds had porosities of 80.04 ± 5.6% and exhibited good mechanical properties. When incubated with H2O2, Cu(I)@ZIF-8 nanoparticles resulted generated reactive oxygen species, which contributed to their antibacterial properties. The mMSCs cultured on the surface of PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds were well-spread and adherent with a high proliferation rate, and staining with alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red was increased compared with the pure PLGA scaffolds. The mineralization assay showed an apatite-rich layer was formed on the surface of PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds, while there was hardly any apatite on the surface of the PLGA scaffolds. Additionally, in vitro, Staphylococcus aureus cultured on the PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds were almost all dead, while in vivo inflammatory cell infiltration and bacteria numbers were dramatically reduced in infected rats implanted with PLGA/Cu@ZIF-8 scaffolds. Conclusion All these findings demonstrate that PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds possess excellent antibacterial and osteoconductive properties, as well as good biocompatibility and high bioactivity. This study suggests that the PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds could be used as a promising biomaterial for bone tissue engineering, especially for infected bone repair.
