Geometric Angles and Gene Expression in Cells for Structural Bone Regeneration

Geometry and angles play crucial roles in cellular processes; however, its mechanisms of regulation remain unclear. In this study, a series of three dimensional (3D)-printed microfibers with different geometries is constructed using a near-field electrostatic printing technique to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of geometry on stem cell function and bone regeneration. The scaffolds precisely mimicked cell dimensions with high porosity and interoperability. Compared with other spatial topography angles, microfibers with a 90° topology can significantly promote the expression of osteogenic gene proteins in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The effects of different spatial structures on the expression profiles of BMSCs differentiation genes are correlated and validated using microRNA sequencing. Enrichment analysis shows that the 90° microfibers promoted osteogenesis in BMSCs by significantly upregulating miR-222-5p/cbfb/Runx2 expression. The ability of the geometric architecture to promote bone regeneration, as assessed using the cranial defect model, demonstrates that the 90° fiber scaffolds significantly promote new bone regeneration and neovascular neural network formation. This study is the first to elucidate the relationship between angular geometry and cellular gene expression, contributing significantly to the understanding of how geometric architecture can promote stem cell differentiation, proliferation, and function for structural bone regeneration.
