RNA-Seq analysis used to explore the bone-froming mechanism of microbially catalyzed biomaterials
We developed a microbial catalytic concept and strategy to prepare calcium carbonate with micro/nanostructures on the surface of bioceramics to improve bone-forming bioactivity. It involves three processes: bacterial adhesion on biomaterials, production of carbonate assisted with bacteria, nucleation and growth of calcium carbonate nano-crystals on the surface of bioceramics. The microbially catalyzed biominerals exhibited relatively uniform micro/nanostructures on both 2D and 3D CaSiO3 bioceramics. The descriptive analysis of RNA-sequencing revealed that the topographic and chemical cues presented by microbially catalyzed micro/nanostructures could stimulate the biological processes including adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. The study offers a microbially catalytic concept and strategy of fabricating micro/nanostructured biomaterials for tissue regeneration. Overall design: Examination of New Zealand White rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (rBMSC) samples subjected to 3 different treatments, 3 replicates per sample.
