Abstract
Osteolysis resulting from wear particles and subsequent aseptic loosening is a leading cause of revision surgery of artificial joints. The underlying pathogenesis of particle-induced osteolysis (PPO) has remained largely uncertain. Addressing how to mitigate osteolysis caused by wear particles presents a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism by which Angiopoietin (Ang-1) inhibits osteoclast activation to alleviate osteolysis. RAW264.7 mouse macrophages were stimulated with LPS or RANKL to induce osteoclast formation. Additionally, titanium (Ti) particles (50 mg) were subperiosteally implanted around the cranial suture of mice to establish a calvarial osteolysis model. Ang-1, a member of the pro-angiogenic factor protein family and an important inflammatory regulator molecule, was utilized in this model. TRAP staining was utilized to detect osteoclast activation, while a western blot was conducted to identify key proteins associated with mitophagy and pyroptosis. Scanning electron microscopy was employed to observe the morphology and dimensions of Ti particles. Additionally, a combination of micro-CT, H&E, Masson's trichrome, and immunohistochemical staining techniques were applied to analyze the calvarial samples. Results indicated that Ang-1 could inhibit LPS- or RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and alleviate Ti particle-induced calvarial osteolysis in mice. TBK-1, a key signaling molecule involved in initiating mitophagy, was found to be mechanistically enhanced by Ang-1 through promoting TBK-1 phosphorylation in macrophages. This process inhibited AIM2 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis and impeded osteoclastogenesis. Overall, this research uncovers a novel mechanism by which Ang-1 can attenuate inflammatory osteolysis, potentially offering a new therapeutic approach for PPO.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) is widely used in medical and dental implants. Calcium phosphate (CPs) coatings enhance Ti implants' osteoinductive properties, and additives further improve these coatings. Recently, a nano amorphous calcium phosphate (nACP) coating decorated with chitosan oligolactate (ChOL) and selenium (Se) showed immunomodulatory effects. This study investigates the surface morphology, composition, bioactivity, mechanical properties, and Se-release mechanism of the nACP@ChOL-Se hybrid coating on Ti substrates. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) was synthesized, and the nACP@ChOL-Se hybrid coating was deposited on Ti substrates using in situ anaphoretic deposition. Physico-chemical characterization was used to analyze the surface of the coating (scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). The distribution of Se within the coating was examined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Bioactivity was evaluated in simulated body fluid (SBF), and adhesion was tested using a scratch test method. In vitro testing determined the release mechanism of Se. SEM images illustrated the surface morphology, while AFM provided a detailed analysis of surface roughness. XRD analysis revealed structural and phase composition, and EDS confirmed Se distribution within the coating. The coating exhibited bioactivity in SBF and showed good adhesion according to the scratch test. In vitro testing uncovered the release mechanism of Se from the coating. This study successfully characterized the surface morphology, composition, bioactivity, and Se-release mechanism of the nACP@ChOL-Se hybrid coating on Ti substrates, offering insights for developing immunomodulatory coatings for medical and dental applications.

Abstract
An ideal scaffold for skin tissue engineering should have a suitable potential for antibacterial activity, no hemolysis, sufficient porosity for air exchange, water retention capacity, and a suitable swelling rate to maintain tissue moisture. Considering this issue, our study used decellularized ovine pericardial tissue's extracellular matrix (ECM). These scaffolds were decellularized with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium deoxycholate (SD) detergents along with vacuum methods. Following imaging with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), analysis of the mechanical properties, and the measurement of the amount of DNA, collagen, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG), our study observed that the three-dimensional (3D) structure of ECM was largely preserved. Resveratrol (RES) 400 µg/µL was loaded into the above scaffold, and analysis revealed that scaffolds containing RES and with vacuum reported higher antibacterial properties, a higher swelling rate, and increased water retention capacity. The biocompatibility and hemocompatibility properties of the above scaffolds also reported a significant difference between methods of decellularization.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a complex inflammatory disease initiated by bacterial infections, presents a significant challenge in public health. The increased levels of reactive oxygen species and the subsequent exaggerated immune response associated with periodontitis often lead to alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. Herein, we develop multifunctional metal-phenolic composites (i.e., Au@MPN-BMP2) to address the complex nature of periodontitis, where gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are coated by metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). In this design, MPNs exhibit remarkable antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and AuNPs and BMP2 promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under inflammatory conditions. In a rat model of periodontitis, treatment with Au@MPN-BMP2 leads to notable therapeutic outcomes, including mitigated oxidative stress, reduced progression of inflammation, and the significant prevention of inflammatory bone loss. These results highlight the multifunctionality of Au@MPN-BMP2 nanoparticles as a promising therapeutic approach for periodontitis, addressing both microbial causative factors and an overactivated immune response. We envision that the rational design of metal-phenolic composites will provide versatile nanoplatforms for tissue regeneration and potential clinical applications.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel benzothiazole derivatives as potential anticancer and antiinflammatory agents. Front Chem 2024; 12:1384301. [PMID: 38562527 PMCID: PMC10982501 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1384301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Cancer, a significant global health concern, necessitates innovative treatments. The pivotal role of chronic inflammation in cancer development underscores the urgency for novel therapeutic strategies. Benzothiazole derivatives exhibit promise due to their distinctive structures and broad spectrum of biological effects. This study aims to explore new anti-tumor small molecule drugs that simultaneously anti-inflammatory and anticancer based on the advantages of benzothiazole frameworks. Methods: The compounds were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for structure as well as purity and other related physicochemical properties. The effects of the compounds on the proliferation of human epidermoid carcinoma cell line (A431) and human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (A549, H1299) were evaluated by MTT method. The effect of compounds on the expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α in mouse monocyte macrophages (RAW264.7) was assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effect of compounds on apoptosis and cell cycle of A431 and A549 cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. The effect of compounds on A431 and A549 cell migration was evaluated by scratch wound healing assay. The effect of compounds on protein expression levels in A431 and A549 cells was assessed by Western Blot assay. The physicochemical parameters, pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity and drug similarity of the active compound were predicted using Swiss ADME and admetSAR web servers. Results: Twenty-five novel benzothiazole compounds were designed and synthesized, with their structures confirmed through spectrogram verification. The active compound 6-chloro-N-(4-nitrobenzyl) benzo[d] thiazol-2-amine (compound B7) was screened through a series of bioactivity assessments, which significantly inhibited the proliferation of A431, A549 and H1299 cancer cells, decreased the activity of IL-6 and TNF-α, and hindered cell migration. In addition, at concentrations of 1, 2, and 4 μM, B7 exhibited apoptosis-promoting and cell cycle-arresting effects similar to those of the lead compound 7-chloro-N-(2, 6-dichlorophenyl) benzo[d] thiazole-2-amine (compound 4i). Western blot analysis confirmed that B7 inhibited both AKT and ERK signaling pathways in A431 and A549 cells. The prediction results of ADMET indicated that B7 had good drug properties. Discussion: This study has innovatively developed a series of benzothiazole derivatives, with a focus on compound B7 due to its notable dual anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. B7 stands out for its ability to significantly reduce cancer cell proliferation in A431, A549, and H1299 cell lines and lower the levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α. These results position B7B7 as a promising candidate for dual-action cancer therapy. The study's mechanistic exploration, highlighting B7's simultaneous inhibition of the AKT and ERK pathways, offers a novel strategy for addressing both the survival mechanisms of tumor cells and the inflammatory milieu facilitating cancer progression.

Abstract
The bone defect caused by fracture, bone tumor, infection, and other causes is not only a problematic point in clinical treatment but also one of the hot issues in current research. The development of bone tissue engineering provides a new way to repair bone defects. Many animal experimental and rising clinical application studies have shown their excellent application prospects. The construction of rapid vascularization of tissue-engineered bone is the main bottleneck and critical factor in repairing bone defects. The rapid establishment of vascular networks early after biomaterial implantation can provide sufficient nutrients and transport metabolites. If the slow formation of the local vascular network results in a lack of blood supply, the osteogenesis process will be delayed or even unable to form new bone. The researchers modified the scaffold material by changing the physical and chemical properties of the scaffold material, loading the growth factor sustained release system, and combining it with trace elements so that it can promote early angiogenesis in the process of induced bone regeneration, which is beneficial to the whole process of bone regeneration. This article reviews the local vascular microenvironment in the process of bone defect repair and the current methods of improving scaffold materials and promoting vascularization.

Abstract
Bone defects in osteoporosis usually present excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), abnormal inflammation levels, irregular shapes and impaired bone regeneration ability; therefore, osteoporotic bone defects are difficult to repair. In this study, an injectable thermosensitive hydrogel poly (D, L-lactide)-poly (ethylene glycol)- poly (D, L-lactide) (PLEL) system containing resveratrol (Res) and dexamethasone (DEX) is designed to create a microenvironment conducive to osteogenesis in osteoporotic bone defects. This PLEL hydrogel is injected and filled irregular defect areas and achieving a rapid sol-gel transition in situ. Res has a strong anti-inflammatory effects that can effectively remove excess free radicals at the damaged site, guide macrophage polarization to the M2 phenotype, and regulate immune responses. Additionally, DEX can promote osteogenic differentiation. In vitro experiments showed that the hydrogel effectively promoted osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, removed excess intracellular ROS, and regulated macrophage polarization to reduce inflammatory responses. In vivo experiments showed that the hydrogel promoted osteoporotic bone defect regeneration and modulated immune responses. Overall, this study confirmed that the hydrogel can treat osteoporotic bone defects by synergistically modulating bone damage microenvironment, alleviating inflammatory responses, and promoting osteogenesis; thus, it represents a promising drug delivery strategy to repair osteoporotic bone defects.

Abstract
The vascularization of bone repair materials is one of the key issues that urgently need to be addressed in the process of bone repair. The changes in macrophage phenotype and function play an important role in the process of vascularization, and endowing bone repair materials with immune regulatory characteristics to enhance angiogenesis is undoubtedly a new strategy to improve the effectiveness of bone repair. In order to improve the effect of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on vascularization and bone repair, we doped strontium ions (Sr) into TCP (SrTCP) and prepared porous 3D printed SrTCP scaffolds using 3D printing technology, and studied the scaffold mediated macrophage polarization and subsequent vascularization and bone regeneration. The results of the interaction between the scaffold and macrophages showed that the SrTCP scaffold can promote the polarization of macrophages from M1 to M2 and secrete high concentrations of VEGF and PDGF-bb cytokines, which shows excellent angiogenic potential. When human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with macrophage-conditioned medium of SrTCP scaffold, HUVECs exhibited excellent early angiogenesis-promoting effects in terms of scratch healing, angiogenic gene expression, and in vitro tube formation performance. The results of in vivo bone repair experiments showed that the SrTCP scaffold formed a vascular network with high density and quantity in the bone defect area, which could increase the rate of new bone formation and advance the period of bone formation, and finally achieved a better bone repair effect. We observed a cascade effect in which Sr-doped SrTCP scaffold regulate macrophage polarization to enhance angiogenesis and promote bone repair, which may provide a new strategy for the repair of clinical bone defects.

[PMID: 38161508 PMCID: PMC10755535 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The clinical treatments of bone defects remain a challenge. Hydrogels containing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are extensively used to bone regeneration because of excellent biocompatibility and hydrophilicity. However, the insufficient osteo-induction capacity of the BMSC-loaded hydrogels limits their clinical applications. In this study, bio-active glass (BG) and BMSCs were combined with gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) to fabricate composite hydrogels via photo-crosslinking, and the regulation of bone regeneration was investigated. In vitro experiments showed that the BG/BMSCs@GelMA hydrogel had excellent cytocompatibility and promoted osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs. Furthermore, the BG/BMSCs@GelMA hydrogel was injected into critical-sized calvarial defects, and the results further confirmed its excellent angiogenetic and bone regeneration capacity. In addition, BG/BMSCs@GelMA promoted the polarization of macrophages towards the M2 phenotype. In summary, this novel composite hydrogel demonstrated remarkable potential for application in bone regeneration due to its immunomodulatory, excellent angiogenetic as well as osteo-induction capacity.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited congenital disorder, characterized primarily by decreased bone mass and increased bone fragility. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is a potent cytokine capable of stimulating bone formation, however, its rapid degradation and unanticipated in vivo effects restrict its application. The sustained release characteristic of silk fibroin (SF) microspheres may potentially address the aforementioned challenges, nevertheless they have not previously been tested in OI treatment. In the current investigation, recombinant BMP-2 (rBMP-2) loaded SF (rBMP-2/SF) microspheres-based release carriers were prepared by physical adsorption. The SF microparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and were investigated for their cytotoxicity behavior as well as the release profile of rBMP-2. The rBMP-2/SF microspheres were administered via femoral intramedullary injection to two genotypes of OI-modeled mice daily for two weeks. The femoral microstructure and histological performance of OI mice were evaluated 2 weeks later. The findings suggested that rBMP-2/SF spheres with a rough surface and excellent cytocompatibility demonstrated an initial rapid release within the first three days (22.15 ± 2.88% of the loaded factor), followed by a transition to a slower and more consistent release rate, that persisted until the 15th day in an in vitro setting. The factor released from rBMP-2/SF particles exhibited favorable osteoinductive activity. Infusion of rBMP-2/SF microspheres, as opposed to blank SF spheres or rBMP-2 monotherapy, resulted in a noteworthy enhancement of femoral microstructure and promoted bone formation in OI-modeled mice. This research may offer a new therapeutic approach and insight into the management of OI. However, further investigation is required to determine the systematic safety and efficacy of rBMP-2/SF microspheres therapy for OI.

Abstract
Everyday unnatural events such as trauma, accidents, military conflict, disasters, and even medical malpractice create open wounds and massive blood loss, which can be life-threatening. Fractures and large bone defects are among the most common types of injuries. Traditional treatment methods usually involve rapid hemostasis and wound closure, which are convenient and fast but may result in various complications such as nerve injury, deep infection, vascular injury, and deep hematomas. To address these complications, various studies have been conducted on new materials that can be degraded in the body and reduce inflammation and abscesses in the surgical area. This review presents the latest research progress in biomaterials for bone hemostasis and repair. The mechanisms of bone hemostasis and bone healing are first introduced and then principles for rational design of biomaterials are summarized. After providing representative examples of hemostatic biomaterials for bone repair, future challenges and opportunities in the field are proposed.

In situ self-assembled organoid for osteochondral tissue regeneration with dual functional units. Bioact Mater 2023; 27:200-215. [PMID: 37096194 PMCID: PMC10121637 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The regeneration of hierarchical osteochondral units is challenging due to difficulties in inducing spatial, directional and controllable differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into cartilage and bone compartments. Emerging organoid technology offers new opportunities for osteochondral regeneration. In this study, we developed gelatin-based microcryogels customized using hyaluronic acid (HA) and hydroxyapatite (HYP), respectively for inducing cartilage and bone regeneration (denoted as CH-Microcryogels and OS-Microcryogels) through in vivo self-assembly into osteochondral organoids. The customized microcryogels showed good cytocompatibility and induced chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, while also demonstrating the ability to self-assemble into osteochondral organoids with no delamination in the biphasic cartilage-bone structure. Analysis by mRNA-seq showed that CH-Microcryogels promoted chondrogenic differentiation and inhibited inflammation, while OS-Microcryogels facilitated osteogenic differentiation and suppressed the immune response, by regulating specific signaling pathways. Finally, the in vivo engraftment of pre-differentiated customized microcryogels into canine osteochondral defects resulted in the spontaneous assembly of an osteochondral unit, inducing simultaneous regeneration of both articular cartilage and subchondral bone. In conclusion, this novel approach for generating self-assembling osteochondral organoids utilizing tailor-made microcryogels presents a highly promising avenue for advancing the field of tissue engineering.

Abstract
Acute and chronic bone infections, especially those caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), remains a major complication and therapeutic challenge. It is documented that local administration of vancomycin offers better results than the usual routes of administration (e.g., intravenous) when ischemic areas are present. In this work, we evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy against S. aureus and S. epidermidis of a novel hybrid 3D-printed scaffold based on polycaprolactone (PCL) and a chitosan (CS) hydrogel loaded with different vancomycin (Van) concentrations (1, 5, 10, 20%). Two cold plasma treatments were used to improve the adhesion of CS hydrogels to the PCL scaffolds by decreasing PCL hydrophobicity. Vancomycin release was measured by means of HPLC, and the biological response of ah-BM-MSCs growing in the presence of the scaffolds was evaluated in terms of cytotoxicity, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. The PCL/CS/Van scaffolds tested were found to be biocompatible, bioactive, and bactericide, as demonstrated by no cytotoxicity (LDH activity) or functional alteration (ALP activity, alizarin red staining) of the cultured cells and by bacterial inhibition. Our results suggest that the scaffolds developed would be excellent candidates for use in a wide range of biomedical fields such as drug delivery systems or tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by bone trauma, infection, surgery, or other systemic diseases remain a severe challenge for the medical field. To address this clinical problem, different hydrogels were exploited to promote bone tissue regrowth and regeneration. Keratins are natural fibrous proteins found in wool, hair, horns, nails, and feather. Due to their unique characteristics of outstanding biocompatibility, great biodegradability, and hydrophilic, keratins have been widely applicated in different fields. In our study, the feather keratin-montmorillonite nanocomposite hydrogels that consist of keratin hydrogels serving as the scaffold support to accommodate endogenous stem cells and montmorillonite is synthesized. The introduction of montmorillonite greatly improves the osteogenic effect of the keratin hydrogels via bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)/phosphorylated small mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 1/5/8 (p-SMAD 1/5/8)/runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) expression. Moreover, the incorporation of montmorillonite into hydrogels can improve the mechanical properties and bioactivity of the hydrogels. The morphology of feather keratin-montmorillonite nanocomposite hydrogels was shown by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to have an interconnected porous structure. The incorporation of montmorillonite into the keratin hydrogels was confirmed by the energy dispersive spectrum (EDS). We prove that the feather keratin-montmorillonite nanocomposite hydrogels enhance the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Furthermore, micro-CT and histological analysis of rat cranial bone defect demonstrated that feather keratin-montmorillonite nanocomposite hydrogels dramatically stimulated bone regeneration in vivo. Collectively, feather keratin-montmorillonite nanocomposite hydrogels can regulate BMP/SMAD signaling pathway to stimulate osteogenic differentiation of endogenous stem cells and promote bone defect healing, indicating their promising candidate in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Treatment of large segmental bone loss caused by fractures, osteomyelitis, and non-union results in expenses of around USD 300,000 per case. Moreover, the worst-case scenario results in amputation in 10% to 14.5% of cases. Biomaterials, cells, and regulatory elements are employed in bone tissue engineering (BTE) to create biosynthetic bone grafts with effective functionalization that can aid in the restoration of such fractured bones, preventing amputation and alleviating expenses. Chitin (CT) and chitosan (CS) are two of the most prevalent natural biopolymers utilized in the fields of biomaterials and BTE. To offer the structural and biochemical cues for augmenting bone formation, CT and CS can be employed alone or in combination with other biomaterials in the form of nanofibers (NFs). When compared with several fabrication methods available to produce scaffolds, electrospinning is regarded as superior since it enables the development of nanostructured scaffolds utilizing biopolymers. Electrospun nanofibers (ENFs) offer unique characteristics, including morphological resemblance to the extracellular matrix, high surface-area-to-volume ratio, permeability, porosity, and stability. This review elaborates on the recent strategies employed utilizing CT and CS ENFs and their biocomposites in BTE. We also summarize their implementation in supporting and delivering an osteogenic response to treat critical bone defects and their perspectives on rejuvenation. The CT- and CS-based ENF composite biomaterials show promise as potential constructions for bone tissue creation.

Abstract
Critical-size bone defects are an important problem in clinical practice, which usually occurs in severe trauma, or tumor resection, and cannot heal completely and autonomously. Implantation of grafts is often required to promote the regeneration of critical-size bone defects. Metal ions play an important role in human health, as they affect the body's metabolism and the tissue function. Strontium ions (Sr2+) can promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Herein, we prepared nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA)/chitosan (CS) composite microspheres with a uniform particle size distribution and an extracellular matrix-like nanofiber structure using microfluidic technology and direct alkali-induced gelation. Strontium ions were stably added into the microspheres by using polydopamine (PDA) to chelate metal ions forming a bone repair material (nHA/CS@PDA-Sr) with good bioactivity. The coordination reaction of PDA can effectively control the release of strontium ions and avoid the negative effects caused by the high strontium concentration. Our in vitro experiments showed that the composite microspheres had good biocompatibility and that the PDA coating promotes cell adhesion. The slow release of strontium ions can effectively promote mesenchymal stem cells osteogenic differentiation and the vascularization of endothelial cells. In addition, we injected composite microspheres into cranial defects of rats to evaluate osseointegration in vivo. The results showed that nHA/CS@PDA-Sr could effectively promote bone regeneration in the defect area. This study demonstrates that composite microspheres stimulate bone repair providing a promising way for bone-defect regeneration.

[PMID: 37060066 PMCID: PMC10103476 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-023-03943-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In mouse, it was discovered that resveratrol (Res) enhanced osteoporosis (OP) by boosting osteogenesis. Besides, Res can also have an impact on MC3T3-E1 cells, which are crucial for the control of osteogenesis and thus increase osteogenesis. Although some articles have discovered that Res enhanced autophagy to promote the value-added differentiation of MC3T3, it is unclear exactly how this affects the process of osteogenesis in mouse. Therefore, we will show that Res encourages MC3T3-E1 proliferation and differentiation in mouse pre-osteoblasts and further investigate the autophagy-related mechanism for this impact. METHODS (1) MC3T3-E1 cells were separated into blank control group and various concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100µmol/L) of group in order to determine the ideal Res concentration. In the Res group, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to measure the proliferation activity of pre-osteoblasts in mice in each group after resveratrol intervention. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red staining were used to gauge the degree of osteogenic differentiation, and RT-qPCR was used to measure the expression levels of Runx2 and OCN in the osteogenic differentiation ability of the cells. (2) In the experiment, four groups were set up: the control group, 3MA group, Res group, and Res + 3MA group. To examine cell mineralization, ALP and alizarin red staining were utilized. RT-qPCR and Western blot detection of cell autophagy activity levels and osteogenic differentiation capacity in each group following intervention. RESULTS (1) Resveratrol might increase the number of mice pre-osteoblast, with the impact being most pronounced at 10µmol/L (P < 0.05). The nodules developed substantially more often than in the blank control group, and Runx2 and OCN expressions significantly increased (P < 0.05). (2) In contrast to the Res group, after 3MA purine blocked autophagy, the Res + 3MA group's alkaline phosphatase staining and the development of mineralized nodules were reduced. Runx2, OCN, LC3II / LC3I expression decreased, p62 expression increased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The present study partially or indirectly demonstrated that Res may, through increased autophagy, induce osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.

Abstract
Chitin is a natural polymeric polysaccharide extracted from marine crustaceans, and chitosan is obtained by removing part of the acetyl group (usually more than 60 %) in chitin's structure. Chitosan has attracted wide attention from researchers worldwide due to its good biodegradability, biocompatibility, hypoallergenic and biological activities (antibacterial, immune and antitumor activities). However, research has shown that chitosan does not melt or dissolve in water, alkaline solutions and general organic solvents, which greatly limits its application range. Therefore, researchers have carried out extensive and in-depth chemical modification of chitosan and prepared a variety of chitosan derivatives, which have expanded the application field of chitosan. Among them, the most extensive research has been conducted in the pharmaceutical field. This paper summarizes the application of chitosan and chitosan derivatives in medical materials over the past five years.

Polyphenolic-modified cellulose acetate membrane for bone regeneration through immunomodulation. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 305:120546. [PMID: 36737196 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
To enhance the bioactivity of cellulosic derivatives has become an important strategy to promote their value for clinical applications. Herein, protocatechualdehyde (PCA), a polyphenolic molecule, was used to modify a cellulose acetate (CA) membrane by combining with metal ions to confer an immunomodulatory activity. The PCA-modified CA membrane has shown a significant radical scavenging activity, thereby suppressed the inflammatory response and created a favorable immune microenvironment for osteogenesis and mineralization. Moreover, addition of metal ions could further stimulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and accelerate bone regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. This study may provide a strategy to promote the immunomodulatory activity of cellulose-based biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Spatiotemporal Immune disorder is a key factor leading to the failure of bone tissue healing. It is of vital importance to accurately suppress excessive peak immune response within 24-48 h of the injury and so regulate the spatiotemporal osteoimmune disturbance of bones. In this study, Ultrasound Controlled "Explosive" (UCE) hydrogels were prepared from gelatin-hyaluronic acid methacrylate hydrogels loaded with resveratrol nanobubbles produced by double emulsification through a condensation reaction. Such materials innovatively enable ultrasound-controlled RES release for precise regulation of spatiotemporal osteoimmune disorders. Under an ultrasonic power level of 1.5 W/cm2, the rate of effectively released RES through the blast of UCE hydrogels reached 38.14 %. And compared with the control group, the in vivo inhibition of inflammation and osteogenesis effects of UCE hydrogels were more effective, respectively. As suggested by the results, the excessive local inflammatory response was inhibited by the release of resveratrol, the temporospatial disorder of bone immune was precisely regulated, and as a result, the process of bone repair was accelerated. Altogether, this study confirms that the newly created UCE Hydrogels effectively promote bone repair by intervening peak inflammation during the early phase of fracture healing.

Mesoporous TiO 2 Coatings Regulate ZnO Nanoparticle Loading and Zn 2+ Release on Titanium Dental Implants for Sustained Osteogenic and Antibacterial Activity. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:15235-15249. [PMID: 36926829 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c00812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Two major issues are currently hindering the clinical practice of titanium dental implants for the lack of biological activities: immediate/early loading risks and peri-implantitis. To solve these issues, it is urgent to develop multifunctional implants modified with effective osteogenic and antibacterial properties. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) possess superior antibacterial activity; however, they can rapidly release Zn2+, causing cytotoxicity. In this study, a potential dental implant modification was creatively developed as ZnO nanoparticle-loaded mesoporous TiO2 coatings (nZnO/MTC-Ti) via the evaporation-induced self-assembly method (EISA) and one-step spin coating. The mesoporous TiO2 coatings (MTCs) regulated the synthesis and loading of ZnO NPs inside the nanosized pores. The synergistic effects of MTC and ZnO NPs on nZnO/MTC-Ti not only controlled the long-term steady-state release of Zn2+ but also optimized the charge distribution on the surface. Therefore, the cytotoxicity of ZnO NPs was resolved without triggering excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). The increased extracellular Zn2+ further promoted a favorable intracellular zinc ion microenvironment through the modulation of zinc transporters (ZIP1 and ZnT1). Owing to that, the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic activity of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were improved. Additionally, nZnO/MTC-Ti inhibited the proliferation of oral pathogens (Pg and Aa) by inducing bacterial ROS production. For in vivo experiments, different implants were implanted into the alveolar fossa of Sprague-Dawley rats immediately after tooth extraction. The nZnO/MTC-Ti implants were found to possess a higher capability for enhancing bone regeneration, antibiosis, and osseointegration in vivo. These findings suggested the outstanding performance of nZnO/MTC-Ti implants in accelerating osseointegration and inhibiting bacterial infection, indicating a huge potential for solving immediate/early loading risks and peri-implantitis of dental implants.

Extracellular Vesicles Secreted by TGF-β1-Treated Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Fracture Healing by SCD1-Regulated Transference of LRP5. Stem Cells Int 2023; 2023:4980871. [PMID: 36970598 PMCID: PMC10033213 DOI: 10.1155/2023/4980871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone fracture repair is a multiphased regenerative process requiring paracrine intervention throughout the healing process. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and the regeneration of tissue, but their transplantation is difficult to regulate. The paracrine processes that occur in MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have been exploited for this study. The primary goal was to determine whether EVs secreted by TGF-β1-stimulated MSCs (MSCTGF-β1-EVs) exhibit greater effects on bone fracture healing than EVs secreted by PBS-treated MSCs (MSCPBS-EVs). Our research was conducted using an in vivo bone fracture model and in vitro experiments, which included assays to measure cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, as well as in vivo and in vitro gain/loss of function studies. In this study, we were able to confirm that SCD1 expression and MSC-EVs can be induced by TGF-β1. After MSCTGF-β1-EVs are transplanted in mice, bone fracture repair is accelerated. MSCTGF-β1-EV administration stimulates human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) angiogenesis, proliferation, and migration in vitro. Furthermore, we were able to demonstrate that SCD1 plays a functional role in the process of MSCTGF-β1-EV-mediated bone fracture healing and HUVEC angiogenesis, proliferation, and migration. Additionally, using a luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation studies, we discovered that SREBP-1 targets the promoter of the SCD1 gene specifically. We also discovered that the EV-SCD1 protein could stimulate proliferation, angiogenesis, and migration in HUVECs through interactions with LRP5. Our findings provide evidence of a mechanism whereby MSCTGF-β1-EVs enhance bone fracture repair by regulating the expression of SCD1. The use of TGF-β1 preconditioning has the potential to maximize the therapeutic effects of MSC-EVs in the treatment of bone fractures.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is widely used in treating oral bone defects to exclude the influence of non-osteogenic tissue on the bone healing process. The traditional method of GBR with a titanium mesh to treat large-area bone defects is limited by the deficiency of increased trauma and costs to patients. Herein, a bi-layered scaffold for GBR composed of a fiber barrier layer and a self-healing hydrogel repair layer is successfully fabricated. The barrier layer is a fibrous membrane material with specific porosity constructed by electrospinning, while the functional layer is a self-healing hydrogel material formed by multiple dynamic covalent bonds. The system can provide an osteogenic microenvironment by preventing the infiltration of connective tissue to bone defects, maintain the stability of the osteogenic space through the self-healing property, and regulate the release of bioactive substances in the dynamic physical condition, which is beneficial to osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and bone regeneration. This study focused on exploring the effects of different crosslinkers and bonding methods on the comprehensive properties of hydrogels. and proved that the hybrid scaffold system has good biocompatibility, cell barrier function and can enhance bone regeneration activity. Thereby it could be a promising clinical strategy for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by the disruption in homeostasis between bone formation and bone resorption. Conventional management of osteoporosis involves systematic drug administration and hormonal therapy. These treatment strategies have limited curative efficacy and multiple adverse effects. Biomaterials-based therapeutic strategies have recently emerged as promising alternatives for the treatment of osteoporosis. The present review summarizes the current status of biomaterials designed for managing osteoporosis. The advantages of biomaterials-based strategies over conventional systematic drug treatment are presented. Different anti-osteoporotic delivery systems are concisely addressed. These materials include injectable hydrogels and nanoparticles, as well as anti-osteoporotic bone tissue engineering materials. Fabrication techniques such as 3D printing, electrostatic spinning and artificial intelligence are appraised in the context of how the use of these adjunctive techniques may improve treatment efficacy. The limitations of existing biomaterials are critically analyzed, together with deliberation of the future directions in biomaterials-based therapies. The latter include discussion on the use of combination strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy in the osteoporosis niche.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15040938. [PMID: 36850222 PMCID: PMC9962404 DOI: 10.3390/polym15040938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The effectiveness of multifunctional composites that combine a shape-memory polyurethane (PU) matrix with hydroxyapatite (HA) as a bioactive agent and antibiotics molecules results from a specific composite structure. In this study, structure-function correlations of PU-based composites consisting of 3, 5, and 10 (wt%) of HA and (5 wt%) of gentamicin sulfate (GeS) as a model drug were investigated. The performed analysis revealed that increasing HA content up to 5 wt% enhanced hydrogen-bonding interaction within the soft segments of the PU. Differential-scanning-calorimetry (DSC) analysis confirmed the semi-crystalline structure of the composites. Hydroxyapatite enhanced thermal stability was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the water contact angle evaluated hydrophilicity. The shape-recovery coefficient (Rr) measured in water, decreased from 94% for the PU to 86% for the PU/GeS sample and to 88-91% for the PU/HA/GeS composites. These values were positively correlated with hydrogen-bond interactions evaluated using the Fourier-transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Additionally, it was found that the shape-recovery process initiates drug release. After shape recovery, the drug concentration in water was 17 μg/mL for the PU/GeS sample and 33-47 μg/mL for the PU HA GeS composites. Antibacterial properties of developed composites were confirmed by the agar-diffusion test against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Abstract
Nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) is similar to human bone mineral in structure and biochemistry and is, therefore, widely used as bone biomaterial and a drug carrier. Further, n-HAp composite scaffolds have a great potential role in bone regeneration. Loading bioactive factors and drugs onto n-HAp composites has emerged as a promising strategy for bone defect repair in bone tissue engineering. With local delivery of bioactive agents and drugs, biological materials may be provided with the biological activity they lack to improve bone regeneration. This review summarizes classification of n-HAp composites, application of n-HAp composite scaffolds loaded with bioactive factors and drugs in bone tissue engineering and the drug loading methods of n-HAp composite scaffolds, and the research direction of n-HAp composite scaffolds in the future is prospected.

Abstract
Most bone repair scaffolds are multi-connected channel structure, but the hollow structure is not conducive to the transmission of active factors, cells and so on. Here, microspheres were covalently integrated into 3D-printed frameworks to form composite scaffolds for bone repair. The frameworks composed of double bond modified gelatin (Gel-MA) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) provided strong support for related cells climbing and growth. Microspheres, which were made of Gel-MA and chondroitin sulfate A (CSA), were able to connect the frameworks like bridges, providing channels for cells migration. Additionally, CSA released from microspheres promoted the migration of osteoblasts and enhanced osteogenesis. The composite scaffolds could effectively repair mouse skull defect and improve MC3T3-E1 osteogenic differentiation. These observations confirm the bridging effect of microspheres rich in chondroitin sulfate and also determine that the composite scaffold can be as a promising candidate for enhanced bone repair.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is one of the most disabling consequences of aging, osteoporotic fractures and higher risk of the subsequent fractures leading to substantial disability and deaths, indicating both local fractures healing and the early anti-osteoporosis therapy are of great significance. Teriparatide is strong bone formation promoter effective in treating osteoporosis, while side effects limit clinical applications. Traditional drug delivery is lack of sensitive and short-term release, finding a new non-invasive and easily controllable drug delivery to not only repair the local fractures but also improve total bone mass has remained a great challenge. Thus, bioinspired by the natural bone components, we develop appropriate interactions between inorganic biological scaffolds and organic drug molecules, achieving both loaded with the teriparatide in the scaffold and capable of releasing on demand. Herein, biomimetic bone microstructure of mesoporous bioglass, a near-infrared ray triggered switch, thermosensitive liposomes based on a valve, and polydopamine coated as a heater is developed rationally for osteoporotic bone regeneration. Teriparatide is pulsatile released from intelligent delivery, not only rejuvenating osteoporotic bone defect, but also presenting strong systemic anti-osteoporosis therapy. This biomimetic bone carrying novel drug delivery platform is well worth expecting to be a new promising strategy and clinically commercialized to help patients survive from the osteoporotic fracture. A novel NIR-triggered three-in-one smart platform was proposed. Highly NIR-sensitive in vivo controlled release and self-regulating pulsatile release can be achieved. Local precise pulsatile release accelerates osteoporotic bone healing. This study focused on the osteoporotic bone regeneration of both skull and femur at the same time.

Abstract
Purpose With the goal of increasing the translational efficiency of bone tissue engineering for practical clinical applications, biomimetic composite scaffolds combined with autologous endogenous growth factors for repairing bone defects have become a current research hotspot. In this study, we prepared a silk fibroin/chitosan/nanohydroxyapatite (SF/CS/nHA) composite biomimetic scaffold and then combined it with autologous concentrated growth factor (CGF) to explore the effect of this combination on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and the efficiency of repairing critical radial defects. Methods Three kinds of SF/CS/nHA composite biomimetic scaffolds with mass fractions of 3%, 4%, and 5% were prepared by vacuum freeze-drying and chemical cross-linking methods, and the characteristics of the scaffolds were evaluated. In vitro, BMSCs were seeded on SF/CS/nHA scaffolds, and then CGF was added. The morphology and proliferation of BMSCs were evaluated by live-dead staining, phalloidin staining, and CCK-8 assays. ALP staining, alizarin red staining, cellular immunofluorescence, RT-PCR, and Western blotting were used to detect the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In vivo, a rabbit radius critical bone defect model was constructed, and the SF/CS/nHA-BMSC scaffold cell complex combined with CGF was implanted. The effect on bone defect repair was evaluated by 3D CT scanning, HE staining, Masson staining, and immunohistochemistry. Results The characteristics of 4% SF/CS/nHA were the most suitable for repairing bone defects. In vitro, the SF/CS/nHA combined CGF group showed better adhesion, cell morphology, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs than the other groups (P < 0.05 for all). In vivo imaging examination and histological analysis demonstrated that the SF/CS/nHA scaffold combined with CGF had better efficiency in bone defect repair than the other scaffolds (P < 0.05 for all). Conclusions A SF/CS/nHA composite biomimetic bone scaffold combined with autologous CGF promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro and improved the repair efficiency of critical bone defects in vivo. This combination may have the potential for clinical translation due to its excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
Due to the lower regeneration capacity of the osteoporotic bone, the treatment of osteoporotic defects is extremely challenging in clinics. In this study, strontium-doped bioactive glass nanoparticles loaded with sodium alendronate (ALN), namely A-SrBG, were incorporated into the poly(ether-ether-ketone) matrix to fabricate a bioactive composite scaffold (ASP), which was expected to both inhibit bone resorption and promote bone regeneration. The results showed that such a composite scaffold with interconnected macropores (200-400 μm) could release Ca2+, Sr2+, and ALN in vitro. The proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, expression of osteogenesis-related genes, and formation of calcified nodules of rat bone marrow stromal cells (rBMSCs) were clearly evidenced, and the reduction in the proliferation, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, cell fusion, and expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes of osteoclasts was observed as well. In the presence of the ASP scaffold, enhanced osteogenesis along with inhibiting osteoclastogenesis was observed by modulating the osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator for nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) ratio. The efficacy of the composite scaffold in the regeneration of osteoporotic critical-sized cranial defect in a rat model was evaluated. Therefore, the bioactive composite scaffold with excellent biocompatibility and osteogenic potential could be a promising material for the repair of osteoporotic bone defects.

Abstract
Background: The reconstruction of bone defect in the face and head is indispensable yet one of the most challenging procedure to date. Chitosan has emerged as a promising low-cost natural biopolymer for the bone scaffold as an alternative to surgery. This study aims to review the effectiveness of chitosan as a bone scaffold for craniofacial bone regeneration.
Methods: This systematic review used Google Scholar and PubMed as database sources. Study selection using PRISMA diagram and Boolean operator to specify the study search. The quality assessment of the study used a checklist from Joanna Briggs Institute for experimental study.
Result: We included 18 experimental studies, both in vivo and in vitro study—the in vivo study used animal subjects such as mice, goats and rabbits. The studies mostly used chitosan combined with other biomaterials such as demineralized bone matrix (DBM), genipin (GP), sodium alginate (SA), resveratrol (Res), polycaprolactone (PCL) and collagen, growth factor and stem cells such as bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2), dental pulp stem cell (DPSC), and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSC).
Conclusion: Chitosan is a natural polymer with promising osteoconductive, osteoinductive and osteo-integrative effects in bone regeneration. Chitosan utilization for bone scaffolds combined with other biomaterials, growth factors, or stem cells gives better bone regeneration results than chitosan alone.

Abstract
Plant-derived natural bioactive molecules are of great therapeutic potential but, so far, their application in nanomedicine has scarcely been studied. This work aimed at comparing two methodologies, i.e., adsorption and in situ incorporation, to prepare hybrid polyphenol/hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. Two flavonoids, baicalin and its aglycone derivative baicalein, and two phenolic acids derived from caffeic acid, rosmarinic and chlorogenic acids, were studied. Adsorption of these polyphenols on pre-formed hydroxyapatite nanoparticles did not modify particle size or shape and loading was less than 10% (w/w). In contrast, presence of polyphenols during the synthesis of nanoparticles significantly impacted and sometimes fully inhibited hydroxyapatite formation but recovered particles could exhibit higher loadings. For most hybrid particles, release profiles consisted of a 24 h burst effect followed by a slow release over 2 weeks. Antioxidant properties of the polyphenols were preserved after adsorption but not when incorporated in situ. These results provide fruitful clues for the valorization of natural bioactive molecules in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Precise timing of macrophage polarization plays a pivotal role in immunomodulation of tissue regeneration, yet most studies mainly focus on M2 macrophages for their anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects while the essential proinflammatory role of the M1 phenotype on the early inflammation stage is largely underestimated. Herein, a superparamagnetic hydrogel capable of timely controlling macrophage polarization is constructed by grafting superparamagnetic nanoparticles on collagen nanofibers. The magnetic responsive hydrogel network enables efficient polarization of encapsulated macrophage to the M2 phenotype through the podosome/Rho/ROCK mechanical pathway in response to static magnetic field (MF) as needed. Taking advantage of remote accessibility of magnetic field together with the superparamagnetic hydrogels, a temporal engineered M1 to M2 transition course preserving the essential role of M1 at the early stage of tissue healing, as well as enhancing the prohealing effect of M2 at the middle/late stages is established via delayed MF switch. Such precise timing of macrophage polarization matching the regenerative process of injured tissue eventually leads to optimized immunomodulatory bone healing in vivo. Overall, this study offers a remotely time-scheduled approach for macrophage polarization, which enables precise manipulation of inflammation progression during tissue healing.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder that affects both sexes and is the most common cause of fractures. Osteoporosis therapies primarily inhibit osteoclast activity, and are seldom designed to trigger new bone growth thereby frequently causing severe systemic adverse effects. Physiologically, the intracellular redox state depends on the ratio of pro-oxidants, oxidizing agents (reactive oxygen species, ROS) and antioxidants. ROS is the key contributor to oxidative stress in osteoporosis as changes in redox state are responsible for dynamic bone remodeling and bone regeneration. Imbalances in ROS generation vs. antioxidant systems play a pivotal role in pathogenesis of osteoporosis, stimulating osteoblasts and osteocytes towards osteoclastogenesis. ROS prevents mineralization and osteogenesis, causing increased turnover of bone loss. Alternatively, antioxidants either directly or indirectly, contribute to activation of osteoblasts leading to differentiation and mineralization, thereby reducing osteoclastogenesis. Owing to the unpredictability of immune responsiveness and reported adverse effects, despite promising outcomes from drugs against oxidative stress, treatment in clinics targeting osteoclast has been limited. Nanotechnology-mediated interventions have gained remarkable superiority over other treatment modalities in regenerative medicine. Nanotherapeutic approaches exploit the antioxidant properties of nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery to trigger bone repair, by enhancing their osteogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic potentials to influence the biocompatibility, mechanical properties and osteoinductivity. Therefore, exploiting nanotherapeutics for maintaining the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts is quintessential.

Gold nanoparticles targeting the autophagy-lysosome system to combat the inflammation-compromised osteogenic potential of periodontal ligament stem cells: From mechanism to therapy. Biomaterials 2022; 288:121743. [PMID: 36030103 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022]
Abstract
Although substantial data indicate that the osteogenic potential of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) is compromised under inflammatory conditions, the underlying mechanism remains largely unexplored. In this study, we found that both the autophagy levels and autophagic flux levels were decreased in PDLSCs incubated under inflammatory conditions (I-PDLSCs). Based on the increased expression of LC3 II (at an autophagy level) and decreased accumulation of LC3 II (at an autophagic flux level) in I-PDLSCs, we speculated that the disruption of I-PDLSC autophagy arose from dysfunction of the cellular autophagy-lysosome system. Subsequently, our hypothesis was demonstrated by inhibited autophagosome-lysosome fusion, damaged lysosomal function, and suppressed activation of transcription factor EB (TFEB, a master regulator of the autophagy-lysosome system) in I-PDLSCs and verified by TFEB overexpression in I-PDLSCs. We found that gold nanoparticle (Au NP) treatment rescued the osteogenic potential of I-PDLSCs by restoring the inflammation-compromised autophagy-lysosome system. In this context, Au NP ceased to be effective when TFEB was knocked down in PDLSCs. Our data demonstrate the crucial role of the autophagy-lysosome system in cellular osteogenesis under inflammatory conditions and suggest a new target for rescuing inflammation-induced cell dysfunction using nanomaterials to aid cell biology and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Fracture nonunion remains a great challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Fracture repair comprises of three phases, the inflammatory, repair and remodeling stage. Extensive advancements have been made in the field of bone repair, including development of strategies to balance the M1/M2 macrophage populations, and to improve osteogenesis and angiogenesis. However, such developments focused on only one or the latter two phases, while ignoring the inflammatory phase during which cell recruitment occurs. In this study, we combined Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1α (SDF-1α) and M2 macrophage derived exosomes (M2D-Exos) with a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogel precursor solution to synthesize an injectable, self-healing, adhesive HA@SDF-1α/M2D-Exos hydrogel. The HA hydrogel demonstrated good biocompatibility and hemostatic ability, with the 4% HA hydrogels displaying great antibacterial activity against gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive S. aureus and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Synchronously and sustainably released SDF-1α and M2D-Exos from the HA@SDF-1α/M2D-Exos hydrogel enhanced proliferation and migration of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (HMSCs) and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs), promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis both in vivo and in vitro. Overall, the developed HA@ SDF-1α/M2D-Exos hydrogel was compatible with the natural healing process of fractures and provides a new modality for accelerating bone repair by coupling osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and resisting infection at all stages.

Abstract
In recent years, bone tissue engineering (BTE), as a multidisciplinary field, has shown considerable promise in replacing traditional treatment modalities (i.e., autografts, allografts, and xenografts). Since bone is such a complex and dynamic structure, the construction of bone tissue composite materials has become an attractive strategy to guide bone growth and regeneration. Chitosan and its derivatives have been promising vehicles for BTE owing to their unique physical and chemical properties. With intrinsic physicochemical characteristics and closeness to the extracellular matrix of bones, chitosan-based composite scaffolds have been proved to be a promising candidate for providing successful bone regeneration and defect repair capacity. Advances in chitosan-based scaffolds for BTE have produced efficient and efficacious bio-properties via material structural design and different modifications. Efforts have been put into the modification of chitosan to overcome its limitations, including insolubility in water, faster depolymerization in the body, and blood incompatibility. Herein, we discuss the various modification methods of chitosan that expand its fields of application, which would pave the way for future applied research in biomedical innovation and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) triggered by wear particles is the most severe complication of total joint replacement (TJR) surgeries, representing the major cause of implant failure, which is public health concern worldwide. Previous studies have confirmed the specialized role of osteoclast-induced progressive bone destruction in the progression of PPO. Additionally, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by wear particles can promote excessive osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 (NOX4), a cellular enzyme, is considered to be responsible for the production of ROS and the formation of mature osteoclasts. However, NOX4 involvement in PPO has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the mechanism by which NOX4 regulates osteoclast differentiation and the therapeutic effects on titanium nanoparticle-induced bone destruction. We found that NOX4 blockade suppressed osteoclastogenesis and enhanced the scavenging of intracellular ROS. Our rescue experiment revealed that nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) silencing reversed the effects of NOX4 blockade on ROS production and osteoclast differentiation. In addition, we found increased expression levels of NOX4 in PPO tissues, while NOX4 inhibition in vivo exerted protective effects on titanium nanoparticle-induced osteolysis through antiosteoclastic and antioxidant effects. Collectively, these findings suggested that NOX4 blockade suppresses titanium nanoparticle-induced bone destruction via activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway and that NOX4 blockade may be an attractive therapeutic approach for preventing PPO.

Abstract
Treatment of complex bone fracture diseases is still a complicated problem that is urged to be solved in orthopedics. In bone tissue engineering, the use of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) for tissue repair brings hope to the medical field of bone diseases. MSCs can differentiate into osteoblasts and promote bone regeneration. An increasing number of studies show that the inflammatory microenvironment affects the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. It is shown that TNF-α and IL-1β play different roles in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs via different signal pathways. The main factors that affect the role of TNF-α and IL-1β in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs include concentration and the source of stem cells (different species and different tissues). This review in-depth analyzes the roles of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and reveals some current controversies to provide a reference of comprehensively understanding.

Abstract
Chronic excessive fluoride exposure may lead to fluorosis, which causes health problems like a decrease in bone mechanical strength. It was speculated that chitosan may combine with fluorine to form in vivo organic fluorine, and may reduce the damage caused by fluorine. Hence, it is necessary to conduct a study to investigate the influence of chitosan on fluorosis mice. To investigate this problem, forty-four 4-week-old male Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups, the control group, the fluoride group, the fluoride plus chitosan group, and the chitosan group. After 100 days of feeding, the femurs were collected to scan the Micro-CT image. The ultimate load of the femur in the fluoride group was significantly lower than control group. The trabecular separation was increased in the fluoride group compared with the fluoride plus chitosan group and the chitosan group. The level of trabecular thickness was increased in the fluoride plus chitosan group compared with the fluoride group. Our findings suggest that chitosan ingestion can improve the condition of cancellous bone and cortical bone affected by fluorine.

Abstract
Here, we evaluated osteogenic differentiation in vitro and new bone formation in vivo using an alendronate-loaded chitosan/polycaprolactone scaffold (CS/PCL) in rats with a critical-sized calvarial defect. Through the action of genipin, which has a crosslinking function, alendronate (AL) was anchored throughout the CS/PCL composite scaffold (CS/PCL@AL) to form an AL sustained release system. We demonstrated that CS/PCL@AL scaffolds significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs) in vitro. Additionally, we explored the possible molecular mechanism of CS/PCL@AL scaffolds in the osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs. This composite scaffold exerted two positive effects on EMSC osteogenic differentiation: 1) the CS/PCL@AL scaffold enhanced EMSC osteogenic differentiation by upregulating bone morphogenetic protein 2, interleukin 10 and laminin expression; and 2) the CS/PCL@AL scaffold promoted the osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs by activating the yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling pathway. YAP and its downstream target transglutaminase are crucial mediators in the osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs. Finally, micro-computed tomography analyses and histology results suggested that the CS/PCL@AL scaffold exhibited a superior capacity to accelerate new and mature bone formation in skull bone defects in Sprague-Dawley rats. This simple and low-cost technology may represent a promising strategy to construct an efficient delivery system to repair bone defects.

Abstract
Multifunctionality has becoming essential for bone tissue engineering materials, such as drug release. In this study, icariin (ICA)-incorporated poly(glycolide-co-caprolactone) (PGCL) porous microcarriers were fabricated and then coated with decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) which was derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC). The porous structure was generated due to the soluble gelatin within the microcarriers. The initial released ICA in microcarriers regulated osteogenic ECM production by BMSCs during ECM formation. The dECM could further synergistically enhance the migration and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs together with ICA as indicated by the transwell migration assay, ALP and ARS staining, as well as gene and protein expression. Furthermore, in vivo results also showed that dECM and ICA exhibited excellent synergistic effects in repairing rat calvarial defects. These findings suggest that the porous microcarriers loaded with ICA and dECM coatings have great potential in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Due to their natural biological activity and low immunogenicity, decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) materials have aroused interest as potential scaffold materials in tissue engineering. Decellularized small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is one ECM biomaterial that can be easily sourced. In the present study, we tested whether the osteogenesis of SIS scaffolds was enhanced via structural optimization and resveratrol (RSV) functionalization and explored the independent effects of these modifications. We obtained SIS scaffolds with different pore structures by controlling the preparation concentration. The group with superior osteogenic properties was further RSV-functionalized via covalent immobilization. We conducted a series of in vitro and in vivo studies to explore the effects of these two optimization strategies on the osteogenic properties of SIS scaffolds. The results showed that pore structure and RSV functionalization significantly affected the osteogenic properties of SIS scaffolds. With a fabrication concentration of 1%, the SIS scaffolds had superior osteogenic properties. Through covalent coupling, RSV was successfully grafted onto SIS scaffolds, where it was slowly released. The most significant improvements in osteogenic properties were obtained with a coupling concentration of 1%. Furthermore, in in vivo experiments, vascular and new bone tissue formation was enhanced with RSV/SIS scaffolds compared with SIS scaffolds and the blank control group at 4 weeks after implantation. These findings indicate that the RSV/SIS scaffolds obtained via dual optimization strategies show promise as biomaterials in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic organ that has the ability to repair minor injuries via regeneration. However, large bone defects with limited regeneration are debilitating conditions in patients and cause a substantial clinical burden. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is an alternative method that mainly involves three factors: scaffolds, biologically active factors, and cells with osteogenic potential. However, active factors such as bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) are costly and show an unstable release. Previous studies have shown that compounds of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) can effectively promote regeneration of bone defects when administered locally and systemically. However, due to the low bioavailability of these compounds, many recent studies have combined TCM compounds with materials to enhance drug bioavailability and bone regeneration. Hence, the article comprehensively reviewed the local application of TCM compounds to the materials in the bone regeneration in vitro and in vivo. The compounds included icariin, naringin, quercetin, curcumin, berberine, resveratrol, ginsenosides, and salvianolic acids. These findings will contribute to the potential use of TCM compound-loaded materials in BTE.

Abstract
Background Femoral stem of titanium alloy has been widely used for hip arthroplasty with considerable efficacy; however, the application of this implant in patients with osteoporosis is limited due to excessive bone resorption. Macrophages participate in the regulation of inflammatory response and have been a topic of increasing research interest in implant field. However, few study has explored the link between macrophage polarization and osteogenic–osteoclastic differentiation. The present study aims to develop a novel hierarchical biofunctionalized 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold with enhanced osteoporotic osseointegration through immunotherapy. Method To improve the osteointegration under osteoporosis, we developed a hierarchical biofunctionalized 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold (PT). Biomimetic extracellular matrix (ECM) was constructed inside the interconnected pores of PT in micro-scale. And in nano-scale, a drug cargo icariin@Mg-MOF-74 (ICA@MOF) was wrapped in ECM-like structure that can control release of icariin and Mg2+. Results In this novel hierarchical biofunctionalized 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold, the macroporous structure provides mechanical support, the microporous structure facilitates cell adhesion and enhances biocompatibility, and the nanostructure plays a biological effect. We also demonstrate the formation of abundant new bone at peripheral and internal sites after intramedullary implantation of the biofunctionalized PT into the distal femur in osteoporotic rats. We further find that the controlled-release of icariin and Mg2+ from the biofunctionalized PT can significantly improve the polarization of M0 macrophages to M2-type by inhibiting notch1 signaling pathway and induce the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines; thus, it significantly ameliorates bone metabolism, which contributes to improving the osseointegration between the PT and osteoporotic bone. Conclusion The therapeutic potential of hierarchical PT implants containing controlled release system are effective in geriatric orthopaedic osseointegration. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Exosomes derived from human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs-Exos) have shown potential as an effective therapeutic tool for repairing bone defects. Although metal-organic framework (MOF) scaffolds are promising strategies for bone tissue regeneration, their potential use for exosome loading remains unexplored. In this study, motivated by the potential advantages of hADSCs-Exos and Mg-GA MOF, we designed and synthesized an exosome-functionalized cell-free PLGA/Mg-GA MOF (PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF) scaffold, taking using of the benefits of hADSCs-Exos, Mg2+, and gallic acid (GA) to construct unique nanostructural interfaces to enhance osteogenic, angiogenic and anti-inflammatory capabilities simultaneously. Our in vitro work demonstrated the beneficial effects of PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF composite scaffolds on the osteogenic effects in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and angiogenic effects in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs). Slowly released hADSCs-Exos from composite scaffolds were phagocytosed by co-cultured cells, stabilized the bone graft environment, ensured blood supply, promoted osteogenic differentiation, and accelerated bone reconstruction. Furthermore, our in vivo experiments with rat calvarial defect model showed that PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF scaffolds promoted new bone formation and satisfactory osseointegration. Overall, we provide valuable new insights for designing exosome-coated nanocomposite scaffolds with enhanced osteogenesis property. PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF scaffolds with nanostructures were synthesized, on which exosomes were densely deposited on the above scaffolds. Composite scaffolds with exosomes can actualize the slow release of exosomes, Mg ions and gallic acid. PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF scaffolds exhibit great biocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF scaffolds have excellent osteogenic, pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
Bone disorders have become a global concern illustrated with decreased bone mineral density and disruption in microarchitecture of natural bone tissue organization. Natural compounds that promote bone health by augmenting osteoblast functions and suppressing osteoclast functions has gained much attention and offer greater therapeutic value compared to conventional therapies. Amongst several plant-based molecules, flavonoids act as a major combatant in promoting bone health through their multi-faceted biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic properties. They protect bone loss by regulating the signalling cascades involved in osteoblast and osteoclast functions. Flavonoids augment osteoblastogenesis and inhibits osteoclastogenesis through their modulation of various signalling pathways. This review discusses the role of various flavonoids and their molecular mechanisms involved in maintaining bone health by regulating osteoblast and osteoclast functions.

Abstract
The design of scaffolds with optimal biomechanical properties for load-bearing applications is an important topic of research. Most studies have addressed this problem by focusing on the material composition and not on the coupled effect between the material composition and the scaffold architecture. Polymer–bioglass scaffolds have been investigated due to the excellent bioactivity properties of bioglass, which release ions that activate osteogenesis. However, material preparation methods usually require the use of organic solvents that induce surface modifications on the bioglass particles, compromising the adhesion with the polymeric material thus compromising mechanical properties. In this paper, we used a simple melt blending approach to produce polycaprolactone/bioglass pellets to construct scaffolds with pore size gradient. The results show that the addition of bioglass particles improved the mechanical properties of the scaffolds and, due to the selected architecture, all scaffolds presented mechanical properties in the cortical bone region. Moreover, the addition of bioglass indicated a positive long-term effect on the biological performance of the scaffolds. The pore size gradient also induced a cell spreading gradient.
