In situ construction of a nano-structured akermanite coating for promoting bone formation and osseointegration of Ti–6Al–4V implants in a rabbit osteoporosis model

Abstract

With the aging population worldwide, osteoporosis, as an age-related bone metabolic disease, is becoming a hot issue in public health. However, it is still a great challenge to realize osteoporotic bone healing due to the alteration of the bone microenvironment in osteoporosis patients. In this study, a nano-structured akermanite (nAK) coating was in situ constructed on Ti–6Al–4V implants to improve osteoporotic bone repair. In vitro studies indicated that both the surface nano-topography and bioactive ions released from the nAK coatings promoted the proliferation, osteogenesis, angiogenesis and inhibited osteoclastogenesis of ovariectomy rabbit-derived bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (OVX-rBMSCs). Furthermore, the nAK-coated Ti–6Al–4V implants improved new bone formation and osseointegration in an osteoporosis rabbit model in vivo. These results indicated that the AK coating with a nano-structured surface on the Ti–6Al–4V implant could synergistically promote bone formation and osseointegration for osteoporosis patients. This may be a promising strategy to improve the bone regeneration and osseointegration capability of orthopedic implants under osteoporosis conditions.
