| Abstract | The need for hard tissues repair has increased in modern esthetic and reconstructive dentistry. Bone grafts are currently the major modality of treatment. Tissue engineering provides a new concept for tissue regeneration and reconstruction. Stem cell-scaffold constructs seem to be a promising approach for bone tissue engineering. Stem cells in particular have drawn interest because they are undifferentiated cells with the ability to differentiate into one or more types of cells and are capable of self-renewal. Tissue regeneration using mesenchymal stem cells might be an advantageous therapeutic option since it provides high-quality regeneration of damaged tissues without forming fibrous tissue, minimum donor-site morbidity compared to autografts, and a low risk of autoimmune rejection and disease transmission. ❧ Therefore, the objectives of this study were to: (1) develop an injectable scaffold based on oxidized alginate microbeads encapsulating PDL (PDLSCs) and Gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs); and (2) investigate microsphere degradation profile, cell viability, and osteogenic differentiation of the stem cells (in vitro and in vivo) for the first time. Alginate microspheres with sizes of about 2±0.1 mm were fabricated with 1 ×106 stem cell/ mL of alginate. Microspheres containing PDLSCs, GMSCs and hBMMSCs were further implanted subcutaneously and ectopic bone formation was analyzed by μCT and histological analysis at 8 weeks post-implantation. The encapsulated stem cells remained viable in vitro and both osteo-differentiated and adipo-differentiated after 4 weeks of culturing in the respective induction media. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction results confirmed that apatitic mineral was deposited by the stem cells. It was found that the degradation profile of alginate hydrogel strongly depends on the degree of oxidation demonstrating its tunable chemistry and degradation rate. In the animal study ectopic mineralization was observed inside and around the implanted microspheres containing the immobilized stem cells. These findings demonstrate for the first time that immobilization of PDLSCs and GMSCs in the alginate microspheres provides a promising strategy for bone tissue engineering. |
