Abstract

An efficient long-term intracellular growth factor release system in simulated microgravity for osteogenic differentiation was prepared based on polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) nanoparticles (NPs) for loading of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) (defined as sB2-PLA-NPs and sB7-PHA-NPs), respectively, associated with osteogenic differentiation of human adipose derived stem cells (hADSCs). On account of soybean lecithin (SL) as biosurfactants, sB2-PLA-NPs and sB7-PHA-NPs had a high encapsulation efficiency (>80%) of BMPs and uniform small size (<100 nm), and showed a different slow-release to provide BMP2 in early stage and BMP7 in late stages of osteogenic differentiation within 20 d, due to degradation rate of PLA and PHA in cells. After uptake into hADSCs, by comparison with single sB2-PLA-NPs or sB7-PHA-NPs, the Mixture NPs compound of sB2-PLA-NP and sB7-PHA-NP with a mass ratio of 1:1, can well-promote ALP activity, expression of OPN and upregulated related osteo-genes. Directed osteo-differentiation of mixture NPs was similar to result of sustained free-BMP2 and BMP7-supplying (sFree-B2&B7) in simulated microgravity, which demonstrated the reliability and stability of Mixture NPs as a long-term osteogenic differentiation system in space medicine and biology in future.
