Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HApN) are largely employed as osteogenic inorganic material. Inorganic/polymeric hybrid nanostructures can provide versatile bioactivity for superior osteogenicity, particularly as nanoparticles. Herein, we present hybrid biomaterial-based hydroxyapatite/polycaprolactone nanoparticles (HAp/PCL NPs) realized using simple preparation techniques to augment HApN osteogenicity. Using wet chemical precipitation, we optimized HApN crystalline properties utilizing a 23-factorial design. Optimized HApN exhibited typical Ca/P elemental ratio with high reaction yield. Surface area analysis revealed their mesoporous nature and high surface area. Hybrid HAp/PCL NPs prepared using direct emulsification-solvent evaporation maintained HApN crystallinity with no observed chemical interactions. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to elaborate the biocompatibility and osteogenicity of nanoparticulate hybrid HAp/PCL. Hybrid HAp/PCL NPs outperformed HApN regarding mesenchymal cell proliferation and osteodifferentiation with reduction of possible cytotoxicity. Unlike HApN, hybrid HAp/PCL NPs presented moderate expression of early osteogenic markers, Runx-2 and osteopontin and significantly elevated expression of the late osteogenic marker, bone sialoprotein after 10-day culture. Our results indicate that hybrid bioactive HAp/PCL NPs could offer a more prominent osteogenic potential than plain HApN for bone regenerative applications as a standalone nanoplatform or as part of complex engineered systems.
