Abstrakt: Chondral and osteochondral repair strategies are limited by adverse bony changes that occur after injury. Bone resorption can cause entire scaffolds, engineered tissues, or even endogenous repair tissues to subside below the cartilage surface. To address this translational issue, we fabricated thick-shelled poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) microcapsules containing the pro-osteogenic agents triiodothyronine and β -glycerophosphate, and delivered these microcapsules in a large animal model of osteochondral injury to preserve bone structure. We demonstrate that the developed microcapsules ruptured in vitro under increasing mechanical loads, and readily sink within a liquid solution, enabling gravity-based patterning along the osteochondral surface. In a large animal, these mechanically-activated microcapsules (MAMCs) were assessed through two different delivery strategies. Intra-articular injection of control MAMCs enabled fluorescent quantification of MAMC rupture and cargo release in a synovial joint setting over time in vivo . This joint-wide injection also confirmed that the MAMCs do not elicit an inflammatory response. In the contralateral hindlimbs, chondral defects were created, MAMCs were patterned in situ , and nanofracture (Nfx), a clinically utilized method to promote cartilage repair, was performed. The Nfx holes enabled marrow-derived stromal cells to enter the defect area and served as repeatable bone injury sites to monitor over time. Animals were evaluated one and two weeks after injection and surgery. Analysis of injected MAMCs showed that bioactive cargo was released in a controlled fashion over two weeks. A bone fluorochrome label injected at the time of surgery displayed maintenance of mineral labeling in the therapeutic group, but resorption in both control groups. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) staining at the osteochondral interface revealed higher AP activity in defects treated with therapeutic MAMCs. Overall, this study develops a gravity-based approach to pattern bioactive factors along the osteochondral interface, and applies this novel biofabrication strategy to preserve bone structure after osteochondral injury.
