  3. Controlleddrugdeliveryfromscaffolds • Drug release upon matrix degradation • Drug release upon diffusion • Long-term maintenanceof effective local concentration • Localized effects ensured • Limited systemic effects

  4. Idealscaffold • 3-dimensional and well defined microstructure • Interconnected pore network • Mechanical properties similar tothose of natural tissues • Biocompatible and bio-resorbable • Controllable degradation and resorption • Local sequestration and controlleddelivery ofspecific bioactive factors • Thusenhancing and guideing the regenerationprocess

  5. ECM mimicryas a guideforscaffold design • ECM is the natural medium wherecells proliferate, differentiateand migrate • ECM is a highly organized dynamic biomolecular environmentwheremotifsgoverning cell behavioursare continuously generated and sequestered • Motifs are locally released according tocellular stimuli • Relaseoccurson-demandupondegradation of theadhesion sites binding them to the ECM

  6. Growthfactors and the ECM • Growthfactors (GFs) are locally storedby ECM • Storage ininsoluble/latent forms • Specific binding with glycosaminoglycans (e.g. heparins) • Elicit biological activity once released • ECM bindingprovidesconcentrationgradientimportantinmorphogenesis

  7. Mimicthefunction of ECM • Future generations of TE scaffolds needtohaveextended functionalityand bioactivity • Synthetic bio-inspiredECM should broadcast specific cellular events • The ability of controlledreleaseofmultiplebioactivemoleculeswillallowthecontrolofcellularbehaviour and successfulregeneration

  8. Interspersedsignals • Hydrogels (eithernaturalorsynthetic) havebeensuccesfullyusedforcontrolledrelease of bioactive protein compounds • Moleculesweresimply mixed withthepolymer and wereentrappedupongelation • Natural (collagen, fibrin, hyaluronan) and synthetic (PEG-based, peptide-based) hydrogelshavebeenused • Releasecharacteristicmaymodulatedwithcrosslinkingagents • Solid-statescaffolds: fabricationmethod must be mild (toavoid protein denaturation)

  9. Immobilizedsignals • Modification of polymer scaffolds to interact with signaling molecules: immobilization • Prolongeddiffusionout of the scaffoldplatform • Reversible orirreversible binding to the polymer. • Released upon degradation of alinking tether or the matrix itself • Determinants of the amount of bound signal and release profile: • The number of binding sites • Affinity of the signal for sites • Degradation rate ofthe scaffold

  10. Signaldeliveryfromcells • Inclusion of nucleicacids (NA) encodingthedesired protein • NA are introduced into targetcells, which thenproduce the desired proteins • Antisenseoligoscan be used to return abnormalgene expression to a certain state • Syntheticpolymerscontainingadhesionsites (RGD) provedto be more effectiveindeliveringtheplasmid

  11. Protein deliverysystems(DS) in TE • DS must preventthe protein frominactivationordegradation • Fine-tuning of thereleaseratecan be achievedbymodulatingthecomposition, shape, and architecture of the platform • Continous and pulsatiledelivery • Biodegradable and non-degradableplatforms

  12. Non-biodegradablesystems • Ethylene-vinylacetatecopolymers (EVAc) andsilicones: • Mass transport through polymer chains or poresis the only rate-limiting step • Possibleapplicationincellencapsulationpreventingthemtointeractwiththeimmunesystem Time

  13. Biodegradablesystems • PLGAis a veryversatile and widelyusedsystem • Poly-orthoestersarenewlyinthe centre of interest (no heatingorsolvents, injectablepolymers) • Polyanhydridesusuallyundergosurfaceerosionwhich has a favorablekinetics Time

  15. On-offdrugdeliverysystems • Pulsatile mode of protein and peptide release • Rapid and transient release of acertain amount of drug molecules within a short time-periodimmediately after a pre-determined off-release interval • Classified into “programmed” and “triggered” deliverysystems (DS): • Programmed-DS:the release is governed by theinner mechanism of the device • Triggered-DS:release isgoverned by changes in the physiologic environment of thedevice orby external stimuli • External stimuliinvolvetemperature changes,electric or magnetic fields, ultrasounds orirradiation

  16. Programmed and triggereddeliverysystems • Syntheticpolymerscan be engineeredtobeapplicableinprogrammeddelivery • Both surface and bulk-erodingsystemsmay be used • Biggest interest intriggereddelivery is theglucose-sensitiveinsulindelivery • The “intelligent” system consists of immobilized glucose oxidasein a pH-responsive polymeric hydrogel • Inthegel, insulin is enclosed • Uponglucose diffusion intothe hydrogel, glucoseoxidaseconvertsitinto gluconic acid • Loweringof the pH resultsingelswelling and insulin release

  17. Inclusion of drugmoleculesintoscaffolds • Poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA)beads with antibiotics (mostly aminoglycosides): • Orthopedic and trauma surgery • Treatment of chronic osteomyelitis and/or ulcers • Bones and joints are „blind spots” of systemic antibiotic therapy because the limited blood supply • PMMA beads release antibiotics gradually • High local antibiotic concentration can be achieved • Limited systemic side effects

  18. Inclusion of bioactiveproteinsintoscaffolds • VEGF roleintissuevascularization: • Cellsinhypoxictissuessecrete VEGF • Endothelialcellsexpress VEGFR • Stimulatesendothelproliferation • Directsendothelialcellmigration • Tissuevascularization is criticalinnutrition and oxigenization of implanted TE constructs • Controlled VEGF delivery is inthefocus of TE research

  19. VEGF supports TE tissuevascularization • Controlled VEGFdeliveryfromalginatemicroparticles: • Bivalentcationsmediatealginatecrosslinking • VEGF encapsulationefficiency and delivery ratio dependsonthecation species (Ca2+or Zn2+) • Zn2+-crosslinkedparticlesprovedto be more toxicthan Zn2+ • Mixture of Ca2+ and Zn2+beadsarethe most favorable

  20. Support of tissue differentiation with bioactive proteins • BMP-2: • Key role in regulating osteoblast differentiation • Recombinant hBMP-2 is dissolved in aquaeous solution of polyethylene-oxide (PEO) • rhBMP-2 solution is then added to scaffold material • Scaffold materials include silk fibroin, PCLA, PEG, PLGA, collagen, etc.

  21. Experimentalresults with controlled drug delivery scaffolds – VEGF • Half-life of VEGF is 50 min, therefore controlled release is critical • Controlled release is based on electrostatic attractions between the carrier (acidic gelatine, IEP=5.0) and VEGF (IEP=8.6) • Extent of gelatin cross-linking also influences release • Upto 90% of total VEGF vas releasedwithin 30 daysfromsc. implants, 80% withinthefirst 5 days.

  22. Clinical results with controlled drug delivery scaffolds – BMP-2 • Use of BMP-2 filled collagen sponges in spinal degenerative diseases to enhance post-operative bone fusion. • BMP-2 treated patientsregain the ability to self-care and mobility faster, their pain scores are significantly lower. • Their mood and emotional control is also significantly better than that of control patients.

  28. The “intelligent” system • Consists of immobilized glucose oxidase in a pH-responsive polymeric hydrogel, enclosing a saturated insulin solution. • As glucose diffuses into the hydrogel, glucose oxidase catalyzes its conversion to gluconic acid, thereby lowering the pH in the microenvironment of the membrane. • Low pHcauses swelling and insulin release.

  29. Development of reliableglucosebiosensorsrequire • Novel electrodes are required to decrease invasiveness of the implantable glucose biosensor • Bioactive coatings are necessary to enhance the in vivo life of the implantable glucose sensor • Biosensor coating using electrospinningnanofibres need to be developed • Tissue responses are needed to be studied further to optimize tissue responses to biosensor signals • Angiogenesis around the glucose sensor need to be increased to enhance detection potential of glucose levels and • Finally, novel biostable 3D porous collagen scaffolds need to be developed for tissue compatible biosensors
