There is a clear clinical need for a bioactive bone graft substitute. Poly(vinyl phosphonic acid-co-acrylic acid) (PVPA-co-AA) has been identified as a promising candidate for bone regeneration but there is little evidence to show its direct osteogenic effect on progenitor or mature cells. In this study mature osteoblast-like cells (SaOS-2) and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) were cultured with PVPA-co-AA polymers with different VPA:AA ratio and at different concentrations in vitro. We are the first to report the direct osteogenic effect of PVPA-co-AA polymer on bone cells and, more importantly, this effect was dependent on VPA:AA ratio and concentration. Under the optimised conditions, PVPA-co-AA polymer not only has an osteoconductive effect, enhancing SaOS-2 cell mineralisation, but also has an osteoinductive effect to promote hBM-MSCs' osteogenic differentiation. Notably, the same PVPA-co-AA polymer at different concentrations could lead to differential osteogenic effects on both SaOS-2 and hBM-MSCs in vitro. This study furthers knowledge of the PVPA-co-AA polymer in osteogenic studies, which is critical when utilising the PVPA-co-AA polymer for the design of novel bioactive polymeric tissue engineering scaffolds for future clinical applications.
