Osteoprogenitor cells play a significant role in the growth or repair of bones, and have great potential as cell sources for regenerative medicine and bone tissue engineering, but control of their specific differentiation into bone cells remains a challenge. Graphene-based nanomaterials are attractive candidates for biomedical applications as substrates for stem cell (SC) differentiation, scaffolds in tissue engineering, and components of implant devices owing to their biocompatible, transferable and implantable properties. This study examined the enhanced osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoparticles (NPs), and rGO NPs was prepared by reducing graphene oxide (GO) with a hydrazine treatment followed by annealing in argon and hydrogen. The cytotoxicity profile of each particle was examined using a water-soluble tetrazolium-8 (WST-8) assay. At different time-points, a WST-8 assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and alizarin red S (ARS) staining were used to determine the effects of rGO NPs on proliferation, differentiation and mineralization, respectively. The results suggest that graphene-based materials have potential as a platform for stem cells culture and biomedicalapplications.

Abstract Background Titanium (Ti) has been utilized as hard tissue replacement owing to its superior mechanical and bioinert property, however, lack in tissue compatibility and biofunctionality has limited its clinical use. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is one of the graphene derivatives that possess extraordinary biofunctionality and are known to induce osseointegration in vitro and in vivo. In this study, rGO was uniformly coated by meniscus-dragging deposition (MDD) technique to fabricate rGO-Ti substrate for orthopedic and dental implant application. Methods The physicochemical characteristics of rGO-coated Ti (rGO-Ti) substrates were evaluated by atomic force microscopy, water contact angle, and Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were cultured on the rGO-Ti substrate, and then their cellular behaviors such as growth and osteogenic differentiation were determined by a cell counting kit-8 assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, and alizarin red S staining. Results rGO was coated uniformly on Ti substrates by MDD process, which allowed a decrease in the surface roughness and contact angle of Ti substrates. While rGO-Ti substrates significantly increased cell proliferation after 7 days of incubation, they significantly promoted ALP activity and matrix mineralization, which are early and late differentiation markers, respectively. Conclusion It is suggested that rGO-Ti substrates can be effectively utilized as dental and orthopedic bone substitutes since these graphene derivatives have potent effects on stimulating the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs and showed superior bioactivity and osteogenic potential.

The benefits of combined cell/material therapy appear promising for myocardial infarction treatment. The safety of alginate, along with its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, has been extensively investigated for cardiac tissue engineering. Among graphene-based nanomaterials, reduced graphene oxide has been considered as a promising candidate for cardiac treatment due to its unique physicochemical properties. In this study, the reduced graphene oxide incorporation effect within alginate hydrogels was investigated for cardiac repair application. Reduced graphene oxide reinforced alginate properties, resulting in an increase in gel stiffness. The cytocompatibility of the hydrogels prepared with human bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells was assessed by the 3-(4,5dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide) assay. Following reduced graphene oxide addition, alginate-reduced graphene oxide retained significantly higher cell viability compared to that of alginate and cells cultured on tissue culture plates. Acridine orange/propidium iodide staining was also used to identify both viable and necrotic human bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells within the prepared hydrogels. After a 72-h culture, the percentage of viable cells was twice as much as those cultured on either alginate or tissue culture plate, reaching approximately 80%. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to assess gene expression of neonatal rat cardiac cells encapsulated on hydrogels for TrpT-2, Conx43, and Actn4 after 7 days. The expression of all genes in alginate-reduced graphene oxide increased significantly compared to that in alginate or tissue culture plate. The results obtained confirmed that the presence of reduced graphene oxide, as an electro-active moiety within alginate, could tune the physicochemical properties of this material, providing a desirable electroactive hydrogel for stem cell therapy in patients with ischemic heart disease.
