- Abstract
Bone regeneration was achieved in the 15‐mm segmental defect model in the radius of rabbit by using the scaffold based on mineralized recombinant collagen for the first time. The recombinant collagen was recombinant human‐like type I collagen, which was produced by cloning a partial cDNA that was reversed by mRNA from human collagen α1(I) and transferred to E. coli. The scaffold material nano‐hydroxyapatite/recombinant human‐like collagen/poly(lactic acid) (nHA/RHLC/PLA) was developed by biomimetic synthesis. Thermo gravimetric analysis, X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were applied to exhibit that the scaffold showed some features of natural bone both in main component and hierarchical microstructure. The percentages of organic phase and inorganic phase of nHA/RHLC were similar to that of natural bone. The three‐dimensional porous scaffold materials mimic the microstructure of cancellous bone. In the implantation experiment, the segmental defect was healed 24 weeks after surgery, and the implanted composite was completely substituted by new bone tissue. The results of the implantation experiment were very comparable with that of the scaffold based on mineralized animal‐sourced collagen. It is concluded that the scaffold based on mineralized recombinant collagen maintains the advantages of mineralized animal‐sourced collagen, while avoids potential virus‐dangers. The scaffold is a promising material for bone tissue engineering. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part B: Appl Biomater, 2008
