Abstract
Coating layers consisting of a crystalline apatite matrix with immobilized basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) can release bFGF, thereby enhancing bone regeneration depending on their bFGF content. We hypothesized that the incorporation of fluoride ions into apatite crystals would enable the tailored release of bFGF from the coating layer depending on the layer's fluoride content. In the present study, coating layers consisting of fluoride-incorporated apatite (FAp) crystals with immobilized bFGF were coated on a porous collagen sponge by a precursor-assisted biomimetic process using supersaturated calcium phosphate solutions with various fluoride concentrations. The fluoride content in the coating layer increased with the increasing fluoride concentration of the supersaturated solution. The increased fluoride content in the coating layer reduced its solubility and suppressed the burst release of bFGF from the coated sponge into a physiological salt solution. The bFGF release was caused by the partial dissolution of the coating layer and, thus, accompanied by the fluoride release. The concentrations of released bFGF and fluoride were controlled within the estimated effective ranges in enhancing bone regeneration. These findings provide useful design guidelines for the construction of a mineralized, bFGF-releasing collagen scaffold that would be beneficial for bone tissue engineering, although further in vitro and in vivo studies are warranted.
