PG - 154 LID - 10.1186/s11671-021-03610-2 [doi] LID - 154 AB - At bio-safe concentrations, black phosphorus nanoparticles activated TG2, and promote the expression of ECM, which further promoted osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs. From these results, we can conclude that black phosphorus nanoparticles are suitable as biological factors in bone tissue engineering. Black phosphorus nanoparticles (BPs) present excellent biocompatibility and good biodegradability, which have been rigorously studied and proven. However, its utilization in bone tissue engineering fields is still in its infancy. Thus, the main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of BPs on osteogenic differentiation of ectodermal mesenchymal stem cell (EMSC) in vitro. Biocompatible BPs with high yield were prepared with a simple and efficient ultrasonication technique. EMSCs were isolated from adult rat nasal respiratory mucosa. Then, we treated EMSCs with BPs at different concentrations in vitro and examined the effect of BPs on osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs. In addition, inhibitor of transglutaminase 2 (TG2) and western blot were used to clarify the mechanism of the promoting effect of BPs on osteogenesis. Our results indicated that BPs could significantly enhance osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs in vitro. Nevertheless, BPs had no effect on EMSCs proliferation. Mechanistically, BPs promoted osteogenesis differentiation of EMSCs through upregulating TG2 expression. These results highlight the advantage of using chemical materials for novel engineering strategies of these highly promising small molecules for bone-tissue regeneration. CI - (c) 2021.
