The objective of the present in vitro research was to investigate cardiac tissue cell functions (specifically cardiomyocytes and neurons) on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) (50:50 wt.%)-carbon nanofiber (CNF) composites to ascertain their potential for myocardial tissue engineering applications. CNF were added to biodegradable PLGA to increase the conductivity and cytocompatibility of pure PLGA. For this reason, different PLGA:CNF ratios (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100 wt.%) were used and the conductivity as well as cytocompatibility of cardiomyocytes and neurons were assessed. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy analysis characterized the microstructure, chemistry, and crystallinity of the materials of interest to this study. The results show that PLGA:CNF materials are conductive and that the conductivity increases as greater amounts of CNF are added to PLGA, from 0 S m(-1) for pure PLGA (100:0 wt.%) to 5.5×10(-3) S m(-1) for pure CNF (0:100 wt.%). The results also indicate that cardiomyocyte density increases with greater amounts of CNF in PLGA (up to 25:75 wt.% PLGA:CNF) for up to 5 days. For neurons a similar trend to cardiomyocytes was observed, indicating that these conductive materials promoted the adhesion and proliferation of two cell types important for myocardial tissue engineering applications. This study thus provides, for the first time, an alternative conductive scaffold using nanotechnology which should be further explored for cardiovascular applications.

The objective of the present in vitro study was to investigate cardiomyocyte functions, specifically their adhesion and proliferation, on injectable scaffolds containing RNT (rosette nanotubes) and CNF (carbon nanofibers) in a pHEMA (poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)) hydrogel to determine their potential for myocardial tissue engineering applications. RNTs are novel biocompatible nanomaterials assembled from synthetic analogs of DNA bases guanine and cytosine that self-assemble within minutes when placed in aqueous solutions at body temperatures. These materials could potentially improve cardiomyocyte functions and solidification time of pHEMA and CNF composites. Because heart tissue is conductive, CNFs were added to pHEMA to increase the composite's conductivity. Our results showed that cardiomyocyte density increased after 4 h, 1 day, and 3 days with greater amounts of CNFs and greater amounts of RNTs in pHEMA (up to 10 mg mL(-1) CNFs and 0.05 mg mL(-1) RNTs). Factors that may have increased cardiomyocyte functions include greater wettability, conductivity, and an increase in surface nanoroughness with greater amounts of CNFs and RNTs. In effect, contact angles measured on the surface of the composites decreased while the conductivity and surface roughness increased as CNFs and RNTs content increased. Lastly, the ultimate tensile modulus decreased for composites with greater amounts of CNFs. In summary, the properties of these injectable composites make them promising candidates for myocardial tissue engineering applications and should be further studied. Â© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

L&#39;obiettivo del presente studio in vitro &egrave; stato di indagare cardiomyocyte funzioni, specificamente loro adesione e proliferazione, su ponteggi iniettabile contenente RNT (nanotubi di Rosetta) e CNF (nanofibre di carbonio) in un idrogel pHEMA (poli (2-idrossietil metacrilato)) per determinare il loro potenziale per tessuto miocardico applicazioni di ingegneria. RNTs sono nuovi nanomateriali biocompatibili assemblati da analoghi sintetici di DNA basi guanina e citosina che self-assemble in pochi minuti, quando sono immessi in soluzione acquosa a temperatura corporea. Questi materiali potenzialmente potrebbero migliorare le funzioni del cardiomyocyte e tempo di solidificazione di pHEMA e CNF compositi. Perch&eacute; il tessuto cardiaco &egrave; conduttivo, CNFs sono stati aggiunti a pHEMA per aumentare la conduttivit&agrave; del composito. I nostri risultati hanno mostrato che cardiomyocyte densit&agrave; aumentata dopo 4 h, 1 giorno e 3 giorni con una maggiore quantit&agrave; di CNFs e una maggiore quantit&agrave; di RNTs in pHEMA (fino a 10 mg mL(-1) CNFs e 0,05 mg mL(-1) RNTs). Fattori che possono avere maggiore cardiomyocyte funzioni includono una maggiore bagnabilit&agrave;, conducibilit&agrave; e un aumento in superficie nanoroughness con una maggiore quantit&agrave; di CNFs e RNTs. In effetti, contattare gli angoli misurati sulla superficie dei compositi &egrave; diminuito mentre aumentano la conducibilit&agrave; e la rugosit&agrave; superficiale come CNFs e RNTs contenuto aumentato. Infine, il modulo di trazione finale &egrave; diminuito per i compositi con una maggiore quantit&agrave; di CNFs.

Porque el tejido card&iacute;aco es conductor, CNFs agregaron a pHEMA para aumentar la conductividad del compuesto. Nuestros resultados mostraron que la densidad de cardiomiocitos aument&oacute; despu&eacute;s de 4 horas, 1 d&iacute;a y 3 d&iacute;as con mayor cantidad de CNFs y una mayor cantidad de RNTs en pHEMA (hasta 10 mg ml CNFs y 0,05 mg ml RNTs). Factores que pueden haber aumentado cardiomiocitos funciones incluyen mayor humectabilidad, conductividad y un aumento en la superficie nanoroughness con mayores cantidades de CNFs y RNTs. En efecto, p&oacute;ngase en contacto con &aacute;ngulos medidos en la superficie de los compuestos disminuido mientras que la conductividad y la rugosidad de la superficie aumentan como CNFs y RNTs contenido aumentado.

Recent advances in nanotechnology (materials with at least one dimension between 1 nm and 100 nm) have led to the use of nanomaterials in numerous medical device applications. Recently, nanomaterials have been used to create innovative biomaterials for cardiovascular applications. Specifically, carbon nanofibers (CNF) embedded in poly(lactic-co-glycolic-acid) (PLGA) have been shown to promote cardiomyocyte growth compared with conventional polymer substrates, but the mechanisms involved in such events remain unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the basic mechanism of cell growth on these novel nanocomposites.

Mechanisms of greater cardiomyocyte functions on conductive nanoengineered composites for cardiovascular application.

Due to their superior cytocompatible, mechanical, electrical, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties, nanomaterials (materials with one dimension ≤100 nm) have been investigated intensely for numerous medical applications including, most notably, as improved tissue engineering materials and in situ sensors. In particular, compared to conventional materials (materials without one dimension ≤100 nm) used for orthopedic applications, nanomaterials have demonstrated an enhanced capability to restore, maintain, and improve bone tissue formation while inhibiting inflammation and infection. This review article elucidates several promising examples of nanomaterials (including polymers, metals, and ceramics) to improve musculoskeletal implant performance in terms of enhanced bone cell functions, reduced inflammation, and inhibiting infection. With respect to the emergence of tissue engineering in orthopedic applications, this review summarizes recent efforts to develop nanostructured polymers and self-assembled nano-materials, which have improved bone growing properties than traditional permanent orthopedic medical devices.

The nano-effect: improving the long-term prognosis for musculoskeletal implants.

During a heart attack, the heart's oxygen supply is cut off, and cardiomyocytes perish. Unfortunately, once these tissues are lost, they cannot be replaced and results in cardiovascular disease-the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Advancements in medical research have been targeted to understand and combat the death of these cardiomyocytes. For example, new research (in vitro) has demonstrated that one can expand cardiomyocyte adhesion and proliferation using polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) (50:50 (weight percent)) supplemented with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) to create a cardiovascular patch. However, the examination of other cardiovascular cell types has not been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this present in vitro study was to determine cell growth characteristics of three different important cardiovascular cell types (aortic endothelial, fibroblast and cardiomyocyte) onto the substrate. Cells were seeded onto different PLGA:CNF ratio composites to determine if CNF density has an effect on cell growth, both in static and electrically stimulated environments. During continuous electrical stimulation (rectangle, 2 nm, 5 V/cm, 1 Hz), cardiomyocyte cell density increased in comparison to its static counterparts after 24, 72 and 120 hours. A minor rise in Troponin I excretion in electrical stimulation compared to static conditions indicated nominal cardiomyocyte cell function during cell experiments. Endothelial and fibroblast cell growth experiments indicated the material hindered or stalled proliferation during both static and electrical stimulation experiments, thus supporting the growth of cardiomyocytes onto the dead tissue zone. Furthermore, the results specified that CNF density did have an effect on PLGA:CNF composite cytocompatibility properties with the best results coming from the 50:50 [PLGA:CNF (weight percent:weight percent)] composite. Therefore, this study provides further evidence that a conductive scaffold using nanotechnology should be further research for various cardiovascular applications.

Growth characteristics of different heart cells on novel nanopatch substrate during electrical stimulation.

Since the discovery and synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) over a decade ago, researchers have envisioned and discovered new potential applications for these materials. CNTs and CNFs have rapidly become a platform technology for a variety of uses, including biomedical applications due to their mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical and structural properties. CNTs and CNFs are also advantageous due to their ability to be produced in many different shapes and sizes. Since their discovery, of the many imaginable applications, CNTs and CNFs have gained a significant amount of attention and therapeutic potential in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. In recent years, CNTs and CNFs have made significant contributions in designing new strategies for, delivery of pharmaceuticals, genes and molecular probes into cells, stem cell therapies and assisting in tissue regeneration. Furthermore, it is widely expressed that these materials will significantly contribute to the next generation of health care technologies in treating diseases and contributing to tissue growth. Hence, this review seeks to explore the recent advancements, current status and limitations of CNTs and CNFs for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications.
