Abstract
Advancements in tissue engineering are crucial for successfully healing tendon-bone connections, especially in situations like anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) restoration. This study presents a new and innovative three-dimensional scaffold, reinforced with nanofibers, that is specifically intended for acellular tendon complexes. The scaffold consists of a distinct layered arrangement comprising an acellular tendon core, a middle layer of polyurethane/type I collagen (PU/Col I) yarn, and an outside layer of poly (L-lactic acid)/bioactive glass (PLLA/BG) nanofiber membrane. Every layer is designed to fulfill specific yet harmonious purposes. The acellular tendon core is a solid structural base and a favorable environment for tendon cell functions, resulting in considerable tensile strength. The central PU/Col I yarn layer is vital in promoting the tendinogenic differentiation of stem cells derived from tendons and increasing the expression of critical tendinogenic factors. The external PLLA/BG nanofiber membrane fosters the process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiating into bone cells and enhances the expression of markers associated with bone formation. Our scaffold's biocompatibility and multi-functional design were confirmed through extensive in vivo evaluations, such as histological staining and biomechanical analyses. These assessments combined showed notable enhancements in ACL repair and healing. This study emphasizes the promise of multi-layered nanofiber scaffolds in orthopedic tissue engineering and also introduces new possibilities for the creation of improved materials for regenerating the tendon-bone interface.

Abstract
The effects of calcium phosphate (CaP) materials on macrophage polarization state vary with their physicochemical properties. The study aims to elucidate the impact of phosphate ion-mediated energy metabolism on M2 macrophage polarization and the corresponding regulatory mechanism. The phosphate ions released from CaP ceramic as bioenergetic factor is identified; its concentration is closely associated with the polarized state. After being taken up by the sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 1, extracellular phosphate ions produce energy via oxidative phosphorylation by facilitating tricarboxylic acid flux, thereby contributing to M2 macrophage polarization. Further mechanistic analysis reveals that the elevation of the bioenergetic basis can drive macrophage M2 polarization via the AMP-activated protein kinase-mammalian target of rapamycin (AMPK-mTOR) axis. Another regulatory effect is that of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a signaling molecule. Intracellular ATP is released into the extracellular space and degraded to adenosine, which serves as a signaling molecule through the A2b adenosine receptor to activate the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pathway, thereby promoting M2 macrophage polarization. Overall, these findings may transform the existing knowledge on cell metabolism and energy homeostasis from bystanders to pivotal factors guiding M2 macrophage polarization and have implications for the future design of biomimetic CaP scaffolds.

Ripamonti U, Duarte R. Mechanistic insights into the spontaneous induction of bone formation. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 158:213795.

Abstract
The grand discovery of morphogens, or "form-generating substances", revealed that tissue morphogenesis is initiated by soluble molecular signals or morphogens primarily belonging to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) supergene family. The regenerative potential of bone rests on its extracellular matrix, which is the repository of several morphogens that tightly control cellular differentiating pathways, cellular matrix deposition and remodeling. Alluringly, the matrix also contains specific factors transferred from the heterotopic implanted bone matrices initiating "Tissue Induction", as provocatively described in Nature in 1945. Later, it was found that selected genes and gene products of the TGF-β supergene family singly, synchronously, and synergistically mastermind the induction of bone formation. This review describes the phenomenon of the spontaneous and/or intrinsic osteoinductivity of calcium phosphate-based biomaterials and titanium' constructs without the applications of soluble osteogenetic molecular signals. The review shows the spontaneous induction of bone formation initiated by Ca++ activating stem cell differentiation and up-regulation of bone morphogenetic proteins genes. Expressed gene products are embedded into the concavities of the calcium phosphate-based substrata, initiating bone formation as a secondary response. Pure titanium's substrata do not initiate the spontaneous induction of bone formation. The induction of bone is solely dependent on acid, alkali and heat treatments to form apatite layers on the treated titanium surfaces. The induction of bone formation is achieved exclusively by apatite-based biomaterial surfaces. The hydroxyapatite, in its various forms and geometric configurations, finely tunes the induction of bone formation in heterotopic sites. Cellular differentiation by fine-tuning of the cellular molecular machinery is initiated by specific geometric modularity of the hydroxyapatite substrata that push cellular buttons that start the ripple-like cascade of "Tissue Induction", generating newly formed ossicles with bone marrow in heterotopic extraskeletal sites. The highlighted mechanistic insights into the spontaneous induction of bone formation are a research platform invocating selected molecular elements to construct the induction of bone formation.

Abstract
Osteoinductive materials are characterized by their ability to induce bone formation in ectopic sites. Thus, osteoinductive materials hold promising potential for repairing bone defects. However, the mechanism of material-induced bone formation remains unknown, which limits the design of highly potent osteoinductive materials. Here, we demonstrated a genetic background link among macrophage polarization, osteoclastogenesis and material-induced bone formation. The intramuscular implantation of an osteoinductive material in FVB/NCrl (FVB) mice resulted in more M2 macrophages at week 1, more osteoclasts at week 2 and increased bone formation after week 4 compared with the results obtained in C57BL/6JOlaHsd (C57) mice. Similarly, in vitro, with a greater potential to form M2 macrophages, monocytes derived from FVB mice formed more osteoclasts than those derived from C57 mice. A transcriptomic analysis identified Csf1, Cxcr4 and Tgfbr2 as the main genes controlling macrophage-osteoclast coupling, which were further confirmed by related inhibitors. With such coupling, macrophage polarization and osteoclast formation of monocytes in vitro successfully predicted in vivo bone formation in four other mouse strains. Considering material-induced bone formation as an example of acquired heterotopic bone formation, the current findings shed a light on precision medicine for both bone regeneration and the treatment of pathological heterotopic bone formation.

Abstract
It is widely known that bone has intrinsic capacity to self-regenerate after injury. However, the physiological regeneration process can be impaired when there is an extensive damage. One of the main reasons is due to the inability to establish a new vascular network that ensures oxygen and nutrient diffusion, leading to a necrotic core and non-junction of bone. Initially, bone tissue engineering (BTE) emerged to use inert biomaterials to just fill bone defects, but it eventually evolved to mimic bone extracellular matrix and even stimulate bone physiological regeneration process. In this regard, the stimulation of osteogenesis has gained a lot of attention especially in the proper stimulation of angiogenesis, being critical to achieve a successful osteogenesis for bone regeneration. Besides, the immunomodulation of a pro-inflammatory environment towards an anti-inflammatory one upon scaffold implantation has been considered another key process for a proper tissue restoration. To stimulate these phases, growth factors and cytokines have been extensively used. Nonetheless, they present some drawbacks such as low stability and safety concerns. Alternatively, the use of inorganic ions has attracted higher attention due to their higher stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects. This review will first focus in giving fundamental aspects of initial bone regeneration phases, focusing mainly on inflammatory and angiogenic ones. Then, it will describe the role of different inorganic ions in modulating the immune response upon biomaterial implantation towards a restorative environment and their ability to stimulate angiogenic response for a proper scaffold vascularization and successful bone tissue restoration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The impairment of bone tissue regeneration when there is excessive damage has led to different tissue engineered strategies to promote bone healing. Significant importance has been given in the immunomodulation towards an anti-inflammatory environment together with proper angiogenesis stimulation in order to achieve successful bone regeneration rather than stimulating only the osteogenic differentiation. Ions have been considered potential candidates to stimulate these events due to their high stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects compared to growth factors. However, up to now, no review has been published assembling all this information together, describing individual effects of ions on immunomodulation and angiogenic stimulation, as well as their multifunctionality or synergistic effects when combined together.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a double-edged sword. Pathological HO presents as an undesired clinical complication, whereas controlled heterotopic bone formation by synthetic osteoinductive materials shows promising therapeutic potentials for bone regeneration. However, the mechanism of material-induced heterotopic bone formation remains largely unknown. Early acquired HO being usually accompanied by severe tissue hypoxia prompts the hypothesis that hypoxia caused by the implantation coordinates serial cellular events and ultimately induces heterotopic bone formation in osteoinductive materials. The data presented herein shows a link between hypoxia, macrophage polarization to M2, osteoclastogenesis, and material-induced bone formation. Hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a crucial mediator of cellular responses to hypoxia, is highly expressed in an osteoinductive calcium phosphate ceramic (CaP) during the early phase of implantation, while pharmacological inhibition of HIF-1α significantly inhibits M2 macrophage, subsequent osteoclast, and material-induced bone formation. Similarly, in vitro, hypoxia enhances M2 macrophage and osteoclast formation. Osteoclast-conditioned medium enhances osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, such enhancement disappears with the presence of HIF-1α inhibitor. Furthermore, metabolomics analysis reveals that hypoxia enhances osteoclastogenesis via the axis of M2/lipid-loaded macrophages. The current findings shed new light on the mechanism of HO and favor the design of more potent osteoinductive materials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Immunomodulatory biomaterials have emerged as promising treatment agents for bone defects. However, it is unclear how such biomaterials control immune cell behaviors to facilitate large-segment bone defect repair. Herein, we fabricated biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics with nanowhisker structures to explore the immunoregulation features and influence on large-segment bone defect repair. We found that the nanowhisker structures markedly facilitated large-segment bone defect repair by promoting bone regeneration and scaffold resorption. Our in vitro experiment and transcriptomic analysis showed that mechanical stress derived from nanowhisker structures may activate the transcription of Egr-1 to induce early switch of macrophage phenotype to M2, which could not only facilitate osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs but also enhance the expression of osteoclast differentiation-regulating genes of M2 macrophage. In vivo study showed that the nanowhisker structures relieved local inflammatory responses by inducing early switch of macrophage phenotype from M1 to M2, which resulted in accelerated osteoclastogenesis for biomaterial resorption and osteogenesis for ectopic bone formation. Hence, we presume that nanowhisker structures may orchestrate bone formation and material resorption coupling to facilitate large-segment bone defect repair by controlling the switch of macrophage phenotype. This study provides new insight into the designing of immunomodulatory tissue engineering biomaterials for treating large-segment bone defects.

Abstract
Innate immune responses play important roles in material-induced bone formation and such roles were further explored in the current study with an emphasis on M2 macrophages and osteoclastogenesis. With the presence of M-CSF and RANKL, M0 macrophages from FVB mouse bone marrow-derived monocytes (BMMs) fused to osteoclasts with both M2 marker and osteoclast marker at day 5, and such osteoclast formation at day 5 was enhanced when the cells were treated with IL-4 at day 3. With IL-4 treatment alone for 24 h, M0 polarized into M2 macrophages. Conditioned medium of M2 macrophages enhanced osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 (pre-osteoblasts) while osteoclast conditioned medium enhanced osteogenic differentiation of CRL-12424 (osteogenic precursors). TCPs (a typical osteoinductive material) supported M2 macrophage polarization at day 4 and osteoclast formation at day 5, while TCPb (a typical non-osteoinductive material) was less effective. Moreover, osteoclasts formed on TCPs produced osteogenic factors including S1P, Wnt10B and BMP-6, resulting osteogenic differentiation of CRL-12424 cells. Similar to in vitro testing, TCPs favored M2 macrophage polarization followed by the formation of osteoclasts in vivo, as compared to TCPb. The overall data provided evidence of a coupling between M2 macrophages, osteoclasts and material-induced bone formation: osteoclasts formed from M2 macrophages secrete osteogenic cytokines to induce osteogenic differentiation of osteogenic precursor cells to finally form bone. The current findings outlined a biological mechanism of material-induced bone formation and further rationalized the use of osteoinductive materials for bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This paper provides evidence for finding out the relationship between M2 macrophages, osteoclasts and osteogenesis in material-induced bone formation. It suggested that osteoinductive materials enhanced macrophage polarization to M2 macrophages which fuses to osteoclasts, osteoclasts subsequently secret osteogenic cytokines to differentiate finally osteogenic precursors to form bone in osteoinductive materials. The data supports scientifically the superiority of osteoinductive materials for bone regeneration in clinics.

Abstract
Previous research has found that octacalcium phosphate (OCP) increases macrophage accumulation and alters the initial inflammatory response. However, the role of the immune response induced by OCP in osteogenesis remains unknown. This study investigated the behavior of macrophages and bone regeneration capacity during the early inflammatory stage of OCP-mediated osteogenesis. To assess the change in macrophage polarization and osteogenic capacity, we used a standardized rat defect model filled with OCP or calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA)-a material obtained through the hydrolysis of the original OCP. OCP or CDHA granules were incubated with RAW264 cells for 5 days to investigate the effect of physicochemical characteristics on macrophage cytokine/chemokine expression in vitro. Our in vivo results show that due to the OCP implantation, macrophages in the rat tibial defect area tend to polarize to the M2 phenotype (anti-inflammatory) and inhibit the formation of the M1 phenotype (pro-inflammatory). In comparison to CDHA, OCP exhibited superior bone regeneration potential due to its rapid promotion of cortical bone healing and stimulation of macrophage-related growth factors. Furthermore, our in vitro results have shown that OCP regulates the expression of macrophage chemokines over time. Compared to incubation with CDHA, incubation with OCP caused changes in the ionic microenvironment. These findings suggest that the OCP-mediated macrophage polarization and secretion profile not only regulate immune function but also positively affect osteogenesis.

[PMID: 36232757 PMCID: PMC9570064 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Macroporous characteristics have been shown to play a key role in the osteoinductivity of hydroxyapatite ceramics, but the physics underlying the new bone formation and distribution in such scaffolds still remain elusive. The work here has emphasized the osteoinductive capacity of porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds containing different macroporous sizes (200–400 μm, 1200–1500 μm) and geometries (star shape, spherical shape). The assumption is that both the size and shape of a macropore structure may affect the microfluidic pathways in the scaffolds, which results in the different bone formations and distribution. Herein, a mathematical model and an animal experiment were proposed to support this hypothesis. The results showed that the porous scaffolds with the spherical macropores and large pore sizes (1200–1500 μm) had higher new bone production and more uniform new bone distribution than others. A finite element analysis suggested that the macropore shape affected the distribution of the medium–high velocity flow field, while the macropore size effected microfluid speed and the value of the shear stress in the scaffolds. Additionally, the result of scaffolds implanted into the dorsal muscle having a higher new bone mass than the abdominal cavity suggested that the mechanical load of the host tissue could play a key role in the microfluidic pathway mechanism. All these findings suggested that the osteoinduction of these scaffolds depends on both the microfluid velocity and shear stress generated by the macropore size and shape. This study, therefore, provides new insights into the inherent osteoinductive mechanisms of bioceramics, and may offer clues toward a rational design of bioceramic scaffolds with improved osteoinductivity.

Abstract
Although osteo-inductive materials are regarded as promising candidates for critical-sized bone repair, their clinical application is limited by ambiguous mechanisms. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 signaling pathway, which responds to hypoxic conditions, is involved in both angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Strategies harnessing HIF-1 signaling to promote angiogenesis have been applied and have succeeded in repairing segmental bone defects. Meanwhile, macrophages have been shown to have important immunoregulatory effects on material-induced osteo-induction and correlate with HIF-1 activity. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that HIF-activated macrophages may also play important roles in the angiogenesis of material-induced osteo-induction. To verify this assumption, a classical type of osteo-inductive calcium phosphate (TCPs) was utilized. First, using RNA sequencing, we found that hypoxia activated the HIF signaling pathway in macrophages, which contributed to angiogenesis in TCPs. In addition, after treatment with a conditioned medium extracted from the co-culture system of macrophages and TCPs under hypoxic conditions, the migration and tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) significantly increased. In vivo, inhibition of HIF-1 or clearance of macrophages could result in impaired angiogenesis in TCPs. Finally, more blood vessels were formed in the TCPs group than in the control group. In conclusion, this study elucidated the vital role of the HIF signaling pathway in infiltrating macrophages during early vessel growth in material-induced osteo-induction. It is beneficial in advancing the exploration of the related mechanism and providing possible support for optimizing the applicability of osteo-inductive materials in bone repair.

Sustained local ionic homeostatic imbalance caused by calcification modulates inflammation to trigger heterotopic ossification. Acta Biomater 2022; 145:1-24. [PMID: 35398267 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.03.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a condition triggered by an injury leading to the formation of mature lamellar bone in extraskeletal soft tissues. Despite being a frequent complication of orthopedic and trauma surgery, brain and spinal injury, the etiology of HO is poorly understood. The aim of this study is to evaluate the hypothesis that a sustained local ionic homeostatic imbalance (SLIHI) created by mineral formation during tissue calcification modulates inflammation to trigger HO. This evaluation also considers the role SLIHI could play for the design of cell-free, drug-free osteoinductive bone graft substitutes. The evaluation contains five main sections. The first section defines relevant concepts in the context of HO and provides a summary of proposed causes of HO. The second section starts with a detailed analysis of the occurrence and involvement of calcification in HO. It is followed by an explanation of the causes of calcification and its consequences. This allows to speculate on the potential chemical modulators of inflammation and triggers of HO. The end of this second section is devoted to in vitro mineralization tests used to predict the ectopic potential of materials. The third section reviews the biological cascade of events occurring during pathological and material-induced HO, and attempts to propose a quantitative timeline of HO formation. The fourth section looks at potential ways to control HO formation, either acting on SLIHI or on inflammation. Chemical, physical, and drug-based approaches are considered. Finally, the evaluation finishes with a critical assessment of the definition of osteoinduction. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The ability to regenerate bone in a spatially controlled and reproducible manner is an essential prerequisite for the treatment of large bone defects. As such, understanding the mechanism leading to heterotopic ossification (HO), a condition triggered by an injury leading to the formation of mature lamellar bone in extraskeletal soft tissues, would be very useful. Unfortunately, the mechanism(s) behind HO is(are) poorly understood. The present study reviews the literature on HO and based on it, proposes that HO can be caused by a combination of inflammation and calcification. This mechanism helps to better understand current strategies to prevent and treat HO. It also shows new opportunities to improve the treatment of bone defects in orthopedic and dental procedures.

Abstract
Heterogeneity of fibroblasts directly affects the outcome of tissue regeneration; however, whether bioactive ceramics regulate bone regeneration through fibroblasts is unclear. Ectopic bone formation model with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) implantation was used to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of fibroblasts around ceramics. The effect of BCP on L929 fibroblasts was evaluated by EdU assay, transwell assay, and qRT-PCR. Further, the effect of its conditioned medium on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was confirmed by ALP staining. SEM and XRD results showed that BCP contained abundant micro- and macro-pores and consisted of hydrogen-apatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) phases. Subsequently, BCP implanted into mice muscle successfully induced osteoblasts and bone formation. Fibroblasts labelled by vimentin gathered around BCP at 7 days and peaked at 14 days post implantation. In vitro, BCP inhibited proliferation of L929 fibroblast but promoted its migration. Moreover, expression of Col1a1, Bmp2, and Igf1 in L929 treated by BCP increased significantly while expression of Tgfb1 and Acta did not change. ALP staining further showed conditioned media from L929 fibroblasts treated by BCP could enhance osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In conclusion, fibroblasts mediate ectopic bone formation of calcium phosphate ceramics.

Abstract
Blood cancers are a type of liquid tumor which means cancer is present in the body fluid. Multiple myeloma, leukemia, and lymphoma are the three common types of blood cancers. Chemotherapy is the major therapy of blood cancers by systemic administration of anticancer agents into the blood. However, a high incidence of relapse often happens, due to the low efficiency of the anticancer agents that accumulate in the tumor site, and therefore lead to a low survival rate of patients. This indicates an urgent need for a targeted drug delivery system to improve the safety and efficacy of therapeutics for blood cancers. In this review, we describe the current targeting strategies for blood cancers and recently investigated and approved drug delivery system formulations for blood cancers. In addition, we also discuss current challenges in the application of drug delivery systems for treating blood cancers.
