The guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique is the most common and durable approach to repairing bone defects in periodontal surgery. However, membrane exposure causes bacterial infiltration, which lowers the functional integrity of the barrier membrane and destroys bone repair. Here, an antibacterial peptide-modified small intestinal submucosa (SIS) membrane is used as a new GBR membrane for effective bone regeneration. The peptide JH8194 was placed into chitosan microspheres to preserve its stability and allow for sustained release, which realizes rapid and efficient functional modification of the SIS membrane. Biocompatibility and certain antibacterial activities were found in the modified SIS membrane (SIS@CS-JH8194). Additionally, in vitro experiments showed that SIS@CS-JH8194 promoted the expression of osteogenic-related factors and decreased the secretion of inflammatory factors in rat bone mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo experiments showed that SIS@CS-JH8194 could effectively promote bone regeneration in rat skull defects. In this work, we created a new antibacterial GBR membrane to help avoid postoperative infection and improve bone tissue regeneration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a promising strategy for repairing bone defects using bioactive membranes. In this study, a new type of GBR membrane based on the small intestinal submucosa (SIS) was created, and its surface structure, cytological characteristics, and bone defect repair ability were compared with commonly used membranes. Our results show that compared to the Heal-all and Dentium membranes, the SIS membrane has an asymmetric structure that does not affect the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Instead, it increased their formation of calcium nodules and expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and osteopontin (OPN). Six weeks after their insertion into a rat calvarial defect model, increased bone growth was observed in the SIS membrane group. Our results indicate that the SIS membrane has good biocompatibility and is more effective in promoting early bone formation than existing membranes. Given the wide range of source materials and simple preparation processes available, SIS membrane is a promising candidate for guided bone regeneration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) technology is the most widely used and stable method for bone defect repair. However, infectious bone defect limits the application of this technique. Herein, a small intestinal submucosa (SIS) membrane modified by chimeric peptides as a new type of GBR membrane is developed for efficacious tissue regeneration. Based on the main components of SIS membrane are I and III collagen, collagen binding peptides TKKTLRT and KELNLVY sequences are used to construct chimeric peptides with healing‐promoting peptide Hst1 or antibacterial osteogenic peptide JH8194, so as to realize the specifically target of SIS. This method achieves the fast and efficient multifunctional modification of SIS membrane. The chimeric peptides modified SIS (pSIS) membrane has satisfactory biocompatibility and a certain degree of antibacterial activity. Moreover, pSIS promotes the osteogenic related factors expression of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells and demonstrates great bone regeneration in rat skull defect model. Furthermore, pSIS accelerates the migration of oral epithelial cells in vitro and activate integrin α3β1 signal pathway contribute to wound healing. This study presents a novel biomaterial design of GBR membrane, specifically for the treatment of infectious bone defects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
