However, DRC has limitations, including incomplete curing and suboptimal mechanical properties, which restrict its clinical application. In this study, we combined the mechanoluminescent material BaSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>N<sub>2</sub>:Eu<sup>2+</sup> (BSON) with DRC to create a novel DRC (BD) capable of emitting blue light under occlusal force. This study explored a resin composite with enhanced curing efficiency and improved mechanical properties. Characterization of the mechanical properties demonstrated that, as the BSON doping ratio increased (2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 wt %), the compressive strength, flexural strength, and surface hardness of BD initially increased and then decreased. The composite doped with 4 wt % BSON (BD<sub>4</sub>) exhibited the best mechanical properties. Compared to DRC, BD<sub>4</sub> showed an 11% increase in compressive strength (211.9 ± 13.9 MPa), a 36% increase in flexural strength (71.9 ± 8.4 MPa), and a 7% increase in surface hardness (111.0 ± 6.4 HV). Based on these findings, BD<sub>4</sub> was selected for further experiments. The study of luminescent properties revealed that the mechanoluminescent wavelength of BD<sub>4</sub> (470-720 nm) partially overlapped with the wavelength range of the light-curing unit (420-490 nm). Additionally, after cyclic loading, BD<sub>4</sub>'s compressive strength and degree of conversion (DC) improved. After applying a cyclic load of 300 N for 240 s, BD4's compressive strength increased by 70% (142.2 ± 1.2 MPa), and the DC increased by 8% (74.4%). Moreover, biocompatibility evaluations showed that the cell survival rate of L929 fibroblast cells exceeded 90%. Thus, we developed an effective strategy to enhance DRC by incorporating BSON, resulting in a resin composite with superior mechanical properties, enhanced curing efficiency, and favorable biocompatibility, offering a promising new solution for caries restorations.</p>","PeriodicalId":8,"journal":{"name":"ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143726988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to establish a preliminary workflow for approaching EBB by assessing collagen and GelMA printability and biological performance. GelMA was selected for its cost-effectiveness and ease of synthesis, while our collagen formulation was specifically optimized for printability, which is a challenging aspect of bioprinting. A parallel evaluation of their printability and biological performance is provided to develop a preliminary 3D intestinal model replicating the submucosa, lamina propria, and epithelial layer. Rheological analyses demonstrated that both materials exhibit a shear-thinning behavior. Collagen (u-CI) displayed a shear-thinning parameter <i>p</i> = 0.1 and a consistency index <i>C</i> = 80.62 Pa·s, while GelMA (u-GI) exhibited a more pronounced shear-thinning effect and enhanced shape retention (<i>p</i> = 0.06, <i>C</i> = 286.6 Pa·s). Postextrusion recovery was higher for collagen (85%), compared to GelMA (45%), indicating its greater mechanical resilience. Photo crosslinking improved hydrogel stability, with an increase in storage modulus <i>G</i>' for both materials. Printing tests confirmed the suitability of both hydrogels for bioprinting, with GelMA demonstrating higher print fidelity than collagen. Dimensional stability assessments under incubating conditions revealed that collagen constructs maintained their shape for 14 days before degradation, whereas GelMA constructs exhibited a gradual decrease in diameter over 21 days. Cell culture studies showed that human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) and human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HCT-8) could be successfully cocultured in an optimized RPMI 1640-based medium. AlamarBlue assays and Live/Dead staining confirmed high cell viability and proliferation within both hydrogel matrices. Notably, HSFs in GelMA exhibited more elongated morphologies, likely due to the material's lower stiffness (380 Pa) compared to collagen (585 Pa). HCT-8 cells adhered more rapidly to GelMA constructs, forming colonies within 7 days, whereas on collagen, colony formation was delayed to 14 days. Finally, a layered intestinal model was fabricated, and immunostaining confirmed the expression of tight junction (ZO-1) and adhesion (E-cadherin) proteins, validating the epithelial monolayer integrity.
