Abstract

This BPE application is directly associated to two other approved grant coordinated by proponent, follows: (i) FAPESP-MIT "Novel Nanobiomaterials Based on Tridimensional Peptides with Drug Delivery Properties to Tissue Engineering" (2014/50720-2) proposal and (ii) Young Researcher FAPESP project "Development of Novel Polymeric Scaffolds by Electrospinning with Incorporated Vertically-Aligned Carbon Nanotubes and Nanohidroxyapatite for Bone Regeneration" (2011/17877-7). In particular, herein we propose to extend this cooperation with the inclusion of new polymers for the controlled release of therapeutic peptides and drugs. This new direction will significantly expand the utility of original work, and open it to new medical applications. Initially, the submitted proposal was based on polymer scaffold fabrication with the incorporation of nanoparticles by electrospinning technique for bone tissue regeneration. The principal investigator used superhydrophilic vertical aligned carbon nanotubes, dispersed carbon nanotubes, TiO2 and nanohydroxyapatite nanoparticles. We obtained robust nanofibers using electrospinning and rotary-jet spinning techniques. Also, we produced nanofibers with incorporated nanoparticles up to 5% (w/w). This result was very attractive to obtained superhydrophilicity, cellular adhesion, calcification of human osteoblasts and bone regeneration. However, we used synthetic and commercial polymers, which precluded the development of new nano-biomaterials relevant to tissue engineering. The Johnson group at MIT has developed new polymeric nano-architectures with applications suitable for peptide and drug delivery. Thus, in this proposal, we seek to leverage the expertise of both groups to develop next-generation fibers using our established electrospinning techniques and Johnson's polymeric nanoparticles. Also will be proposed collaboration with Dr. Khademhosseini at Harvard University due to your large experience and facilities to produce nanobiomaterials using bioprinting process and to in vitro studies of these new produce nanobiomaterials. The proposed research stage scholarship will be very interesting to involved research's groups, because the Laboratory of Biomedical Nanotechnology coordinated by this proponent have experience in polymer extrusion using electrospinning and rotary-jet spinning, which will augment Johnson's current research program. Also, the undergraduate and Ph.D students will perform biological in vitro and in vivo assays, which will lead to rapid translation of our novel materials. This project presents an innovative technology for manufacturing nanofiber scaffolds. We expect to develop a new three-dimensional nanobiomaterial with biomimetic properties that improve bone tissue regeneration and reduce the inflammation process. Thus, following the methodology of this project it is expected that this new nanomaterial can: accelerate the regeneration of bone tissue, recruit stem cells, reduce the risk of bacterial contamination and be sufficiently low-cost to be translated into clinical regenerative medicine applications. In addition, will be expected with the establishment this proposal will can help the proponent to create a new research line at University of Vale do Paraiba, seeking the production of new biomimetic materials based on three -dimensional peptide nanobiomaterials. Finally, we will intend to engage undergraduate students, master's and doctoral degree from Materials Science and biomedical engineering programs. We seek above all to increase the internationalization of graduate and undergraduate programs involving nanobiomaterials applied to tissue engineering researches at University of Vale do Paraiba.
