Mn Single‐Atom Nanozyme Functionalized 3D‐Printed Bioceramic Scaffolds for Enhanced Antibacterial Activity and Bone Regeneration

Abstract Infective bone defect is increasingly threatening human health. How to achieve the optimal antibacterial activity and regenerative repair of infective bone defect simultaneously is a huge challenge in clinic. Herein, this work reports a rational integration of Mn single‐atom nanozyme into the 3D‐printed bioceramic scaffolds (Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds). The integrated Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds can catalyze the conversion of H 2 O 2 to produce hydroxyl radical ( • OH) and superoxide anion (O 2 •− ) through cascade reaction. Besides, the prominent thermal conversion efficiency of Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds can be utilized for sonodynamic therapy (SDT). The synergetic strategy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/SDT enables the sufficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) or Escherichia coli ( E. coli ). Furthermore, the enhanced antibacterial efficacy of Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds is beneficial to upregulate the expression of osteogenesis‐related markers (such as collagen 1(COL1), Runt‐related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteoprotegerin (OPG)) in vitro and further promote bone regeneration in vivo. The results demonstrate the good potential of Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds for the enhanced antibacterial activity and bone regeneration, which provide an effective method for the treatment of clinical infective bone defect.
