Abstract
The coupled process of osteogenesis-angiogenesis plays a crucial role in periodontal tissue regeneration. Although various cytokines or chemokines have been widely applied in periodontal <i>in situ</i> tissue engineering, most of them are macromolecular proteins with the drawbacks of short effective half-life, poor stability and high cost, which constrain their clinical translation. Our study aimed to develop a difunctional structure for periodontal tissue regeneration by incorporating an angiogenic small molecule, dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG), and an osteoinductive inorganic nanomaterial, nanosilicate (nSi) into poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) fibers by electrospinning. The physiochemical properties of DMOG/nSi-PLGA fibrous membranes were characterized. Thereafter, the effect of DMOG/nSi-PLGA membranes on periodontal tissue regeneration was evaluated by detecting osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation potential of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) <i>in vitro</i>. Additionally, the fibrous membranes were transplanted into rat periodontal defects, and tissue regeneration was assessed with histological evaluation, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and immunohistochemical analysis. DMOG/nSi-PLGA membranes possessed preferable mechanical property and biocompatibility. PDLSCs seeded on the DMOG/nSi-PLGA membranes showed up-regulated expression of osteogenic and angiogenic markers, higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and more tube formation in comparison with single application. Further, <i>in vivo</i> study showed that the DMOG/nSi-PLGA membranes promoted recruitment of CD90+/CD34- stromal cells, induced angiogenesis and osteogenesis, and regenerated cementum-ligament-bone complex in periodontal defects. Consequently, the combination of DMOG and nSi exerted admirable effects on periodontal tissue regeneration. DMOG/nSi-PLGA fibrous membranes could enhance and orchestrate osteogenesis-angiogenesis, and may have the potential to be translated as an effective scaffold in periodontal tissue engineering.
