Bilayer osteochondral graft in rabbit xenogeneic transplantation model comprising sintered 3D-printed bioceramic and human adipose-derived stem cells laden biohydrogel. J Biol Eng 2023; 17:74. [PMID: 38012588 PMCID: PMC10680339 DOI: 10.1186/s13036-023-00389-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Reconstruction of severe osteochondral defects in articular cartilage and subchondral trabecular bone remains a challenging problem. The well-integrated bilayer osteochondral graft design expects to be guided the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation for stem cells and provides a promising solution for osteochondral tissue repair in this study. The subchondral bone scaffold approach is based on the developed finer and denser 3D β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) bioceramic scaffold process, which is made using a digital light processing (DLP) technology and the novel photocurable negative thermo-responsive (NTR) bioceramic slurry. Then, the concave-top disc sintered 3D-printed bioceramic incorporates the human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) laden photo-cured hybrid biohydrogel (HG + 0.5AFnSi) comprised of hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (HAMA), gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), and 0.5% (w/v) acrylate-functionalized nano-silica (AFnSi) crosslinker. The 3D β-TCP bioceramic compartment is used to provide essential mechanical support for cartilage regeneration in the long term and slow biodegradation. However, the apparent density and compressive strength of the 3D β-TCP bioceramics can be obtained for ~ 94.8% theoretical density and 11.38 ± 1.72 MPa, respectively. In addition, the in vivo results demonstrated that the hADSC + HG + 0.5AFnSi/3D β-TCP of the bilayer osteochondral graft showed a much better osteochondral defect repair outcome in a rabbit model. The other word, the subchondral bone scaffold of 3D β-TCP bioceramic could accelerate the bone formation and integration with the adjacent host cancellous tissue at 12 weeks after surgery. And then, a thicker cartilage layer with a smooth surface and uniformly aligned chondrocytes were observed by providing enough steady mechanical support of the 3D β-TCP bioceramic scaffold.

Abstract
Together with diabetic osteoporosis (DOP), diabetes patients experience poor peri-implant osteogenesis following implantation for dentition defects. Zoledronate (ZOL) is widely used to treat osteoporosis clinically. To evaluate the mechanism of ZOL for the treatment of DOP, experiments with DOP rats and high glucose-grown MC3T3-E1 cells were used. The DOP rats treated with ZOL and/or ZOL implants underwent a 4-week implant-healing interval, and then microcomputed tomography, biomechanical testing, and immunohistochemical staining were performed to elucidate the mechanism. In addition, MC3T3-E1 cells were maintained in an osteogenic medium with or without ZOL to confirm the mechanism. The cell migration, cellular actin content, and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated by a cell activity assay, a cell migration assay, as well as alkaline phosphatase, alizarin red S, and immunofluorescence staining. The mRNA and protein expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK), osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), and collagen type I (Col-I) were detected using real-time quantitative PCRs and western blot assays, respectively. In the DOP rats, ZOL markedly improved osteogenesis, enhanced bone strength and increased the expression of AMPK, p-AMPK, and Col-I in peri-implant bones. The in vitro findings showed that ZOL reversed the high glucose-induced inhibition of osteogenesis via the AMPK signaling pathway. In conclusion, the ability of ZOL to promote osteogenesis in DOP by targeting AMPK signaling suggests that therapy with ZOL, particularly simultaneous local and systemic administration, may be a unique approach for future implant repair in diabetes patients.

Abstract
Desirable bone engineering materials should have a conducive three-dimensional (3D) structure and bioactive mediators for guided bone regeneration. In the present study, hydroxyapatite (HA)/collagen (Col) scaffolds were prepared by an optimized freeze-drying process. The porosity, moisture content, and mechanical properties of the composite have been investigated. The micro-morphology and structure were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), confirmed that self-cross-linked HA/Col was evenly distributed and formed a 3D porous scaffold. The physicochemical/mechanical characterization was carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Morphological observation and CCK-8 assay of co-culture cells indicated that HA/Col scaffolds were biocompatible. Then HA/Col scaffolds coupled with recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins 2 (rhBMP-2) were implanted in the mandibular critical size defect in rats, and histological staining was used to evaluate the bone reconstruction. The result showed that HA/Col coupled with rhBMP-2 could significantly improve the formation of new bone and angiogenesis within the scaffolds as well as the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Thanks to the encouraging osteogenesis effects, the well-defined 3D scaffolds (HA/Col) cooperating with bioactive agents (rhBMP-2) are expected to be a promising candidate for bone tissue engineering applied to regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is one of the growth factors that may induce the formation of new bone. The aim was to determine the efficacy of low doses of rhBMP-2 for bone regeneration using a collagen sponge as a carrier. Three doses of rhBMP-2 (1.167, 0.117, and 0.039 mg/mL) were combined with an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) as a delivery vehicle. The rhBMP-2/ACS implants were placed in the subcutaneous tissues of rat backs. X-ray microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis were used to evaluate bone formation. The samples treated with 1.167 mg/mL of rhBMP-2 showed greater bone formation than the samples treated with 0.117 mg/mL of rhBMP-2 four weeks after surgery. However, there was no evidence of bone formation in the samples that were treated with 0.039 mg/mL of rhBMP-2. It was found that rhBMP-2 was osteogenic even at one-tenth of its manufacturer's recommended concentration (1.167 mg/mL), indicating its potential for clinical use at lower concentrations.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a devastating and complicated disease with an unclear etiology. Femoral head-preserving surgeries have been devoted to delaying and hindering the collapse of the femoral head since their introduction in the last century. However, the isolated femoral head-preserving surgeries cannot prevent the natural progression of ONFH, and the combination of autogenous or allogeneic bone grafting often leads to many undesired complications. To tackle this dilemma, bone tissue engineering has been widely developed to compensate for the deficiencies of these surgeries. During the last decades, great progress has been made in ingenious bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment. Herein, we comprehensively summarize the state-of-the-art progress made in bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment. The definition, classification, etiology, diagnosis, and current treatments of ONFH are first described. Then, the recent progress in the development of various bone-repairing biomaterials, including bioceramics, natural polymers, synthetic polymers, and metals, for treating ONFH is presented. Thereafter, regenerative therapies for ONFH treatment are also discussed. Finally, we give some personal insights on the current challenges of these therapeutic strategies in the clinic and the future development of bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis without effective early treatment eventually leads to the collapse of the articular surface and causes arthritis. For the early stages of osteonecrosis, core decompression combined with bone grafting, is a procedure worthy of attention and clinical trial. And the study of bone graft substitutes has become a hot topic in the area of osteonecrosis research. In recent years, polymers have received more attention than other materials due to their excellent performance. However, because of the harsh microenvironment in osteonecrosis, pure polymers may not meet the stringent requirements of osteonecrosis research. The combined application of polymers and various other substances makes up for the shortcomings of polymers, and to meet a broad range of requirements for application in osteonecrosis therapy. This review focuses on various applying polymers in osteonecrosis therapy, then discusses the development of biofunctionalized composite polymers based on the polymers combined with different bioactive substances. At the end, we discuss their prospects for translation to clinical practice.

Abstract
An important objective of vascularized tissue regeneration is to develop agents for osteonecrosis. We aimed to identify the pro-angiogenic and osteogenic efficacy of adipose tissue-derived (AD) pericytes combined with Nel-like protein-1 (NELL-1) to investigate the therapeutic effects on osteonecrosis. Tube formation and cell migration were assessed to determine the pro-angiogenic efficacy. Vessel formation was evaluated in vivo using the chorioallantoic membrane assay. A mouse model with a 2.5 mm necrotic bone fragment in the femoral shaft was used as a substitute for osteonecrosis in humans. Bone formation was assessed radiographically (plain radiographs, three-dimensional images, and quantitative analyses), and histomorphometric analyses were performed. To identify factors related to the effects of NELL-1, analysis using microarrays, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting was performed. The results for pro-angiogenic efficacy evaluation identified synergistic effects of pericytes and NELL-1 on tube formation, cell migration, and vessel formation. For osteogenic efficacy analysis, the mouse model for osteonecrosis was treated in combination with pericytes and NELL-1, and the results showed maximum bone formation using radiographic images and quantitative analyses, compared with other treatment groups and showed robust bone and vessel formation using histomorphometric analysis. We identified an association between FGF2 and the effects of NELL-1 using array-based analysis. Thus, combinatorial therapy using AD pericytes and NELL-1 may have potential as a novel treatment for osteonecrosis.

[PMID: 34067727 PMCID: PMC8156020 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering8050069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone marrow (BM) is a reliable source of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which have been successfully used for treating osteonecrosis. Considering the functional advantages of BM-MSCs as bone and cartilage reparatory cells and supporting angiogenesis, several donor-related factors are also essential to consider when autologous BM-MSCs are used for such regenerative therapies. Aging is one of several factors contributing to the donor-related variability and found to be associated with a reduction of BM-MSC numbers. However, even within the same age group, other factors affecting MSC quantity and function remain incompletely understood. For patients with osteonecrosis, several underlying factors have been linked to the decrease of the proliferation of BM-MSCs as well as the impairment of their differentiation, migration, angiogenesis-support and immunoregulatory functions. This review discusses the quality and quantity of BM-MSCs in relation to the etiological conditions of osteonecrosis such as sickle cell disease, Gaucher disease, alcohol, corticosteroids, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, diabetes, chronic renal disease and chemotherapy. A clear understanding of the regenerative potential of BM-MSCs is essential to optimize the cellular therapy of osteonecrosis and other bone damage conditions.

Abstract
The growing safety problems about the use of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is one of the recent issues that was improved by using low doses of BMP-2 with the support of other osteoinductive agents and/or using appropriate carriers. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of scaffold-based dual release system including melatonin (MEL) and BMP-2 loaded polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microparticles on the osteogenic activity of pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. MEL and BMP-2 loaded microparticles were prepared by double emulsion solvent evaporation method in the average diameters of ~2 µm and ~11 µm, respectively and loaded into chitosan/hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffolds. In vitro MC3T3-E1 culture studies were carried out comparatively with blank scaffolds, single (BMP-2 or MEL) releasing groups and dual (BMP-2 and MEL) releasing group. Microscopic observations and hematoxylin/eosin staining showed enhanced number of cells and dense ECM in dual release group. The expressions of differentiation markers, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and also mineralization were higher in dual release group than that of the other groups. Our findings showed that BMP-2 at low doses (~20 ng per scaffold) was sufficient in terms of osteogenic activity with controlled release systems where it was used in combination with MEL (~10 µg per scaffold).

Abstract
Research and development of the ideal artificial bone-substitute materials to replace autologous and allogeneic bones for repairing bone defects is still a challenge in clinical orthopedics. Recently, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based artificial bone-substitute materials are attracting increasing attention as the benefit of their suitable biocompatibility, degradability, mechanical properties, and capabilities to promote bone regeneration. In this article, we comprehensively review the artificial bone-substitute materials made from PLGA or the composites of PLGA and other organic and inorganic substances, elaborate on their applications for bone regeneration with or without bioactive factors, and prospect the challenges and opportunities in clinical bone regeneration.

Locally Controlled Diffusive Release of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Using Micropatterned Gelatin Methacrylate Hydrogel Carriers. BIOCHIP JOURNAL 2020; 14:405-420. [PMID: 33250969 PMCID: PMC7680086 DOI: 10.1007/s13206-020-4411-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
In this work, a novel and simple bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 carrier is developed, which enables localized and controlled release of BMP-2 and facilitates bone regeneration. BMP-2 is localized in the gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) micropatterns on hydrophilic semi-permeable membrane (SNM), and its controlled release is regulated by the concentration of GelMA hydrogel and BMP-2. The controlled release of BMP-2 is verified using computational analysis and quantified using fluorescein isothiocyanate-bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) diffusion model. The osteogenic differentiation of osteosarcoma MG-63 cells is manipulated by localized and controlled BMP-2 release. The calcium deposits are significantly higher and the actin skeletal networks are denser in MG-63 cells cultured in the BMP-2-immobilized GelMA micropattern than in the absence of BMP-2. The proposed BMP-2 carrier is expected to not only act as a barrier membrane that can prevent invasion of connective tissue during bone regeneration, but also as a carrier capable of localizing and controlling the release of BMP-2 due to GelMA micropatterning on SNM. This approach can be extensively applied to tissue engineering, including the localization and encapsulation of cells or drugs.

Frame Coating of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Collagen on PET Fibers for Artificial Joint Ligaments. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21176163. [PMID: 32859107 PMCID: PMC7503285 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21176163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Revised: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The coating formation technique for artificial knee ligaments was proposed, which provided tight fixation of ligaments of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers as a result of the healing of the bone channel in the short-term period after implantation. The coating is a frame structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in a collagen matrix, which is formed by layer-by-layer solidification of an aqueous dispersion of SWCNT with collagen during spin coating and controlled irradiation with IR radiation. Quantum mechanical method SCC DFTB, with a self-consistent charge, was used. It is based on the density functional theory and the tight-binding approximation. The method established the optimal temperature and time for the formation of the equilibrium configurations of the SWCNT/collagen type II complexes to ensure maximum binding energies between the nanotube and the collagen. The highest binding energies were observed in complexes with SWCNT nanometer diameter in comparison with subnanometer SWCNT. The coating had a porous structure-pore size was 0.5-6 μm. The process of reducing the mass and volume of the coating with the initial biodegradation of collagen after contact with blood plasma was demonstrated. This is proved by exceeding the intensity of the SWCNT peaks G and D after contact with the blood serum in the Raman spectrum and by decreasing the intensity of the main collagen bands in the SWCNT/collagen complex frame coating. The number of pores and their size increased to 20 μm. The modification of the PET tape with the SWCNT/collagen coating allowed to increase its hydrophilicity by 1.7 times compared to the original PET fibers and by 1.3 times compared to the collagen coating. A reduced hemolysis level of the PET tape coated with SWCNT/collagen was achieved. The SWCNT/collagen coating provided 2.2 times less hemolysis than an uncoated PET implant. MicroCT showed the effective formation of new bone and dense connective tissue around the implant. A decrease in channel diameter from 2.5 to 1.7 mm was detected at three and, especially, six months after implantation of a PET tape with SWCNT/collagen coating. MicroCT allowed us to identify areas for histological sections, which demonstrated the favorable interaction of the PET tape with the surrounding tissues. In the case of using the PET tape coated with SWCNT/collagen, more active growth of connective tissue with mature collagen fibers in the area of implantation was observed than in the case of only collagen coating. The stimulating effect of SWCNT/collagen on the formation of bone trabeculae around and inside the PET tape was evident in three and six months after implantation. Thus, a PET tape with SWCNT/collagen coating has osteoconductivity as well as a high level of hydrophilicity and hemocompatibility.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis, which is typically induced by trauma, glucocorticoid abuse, or alcoholism, is one of the most severe diseases in clinical orthopedics. Osteonecrosis often leads to joint destruction, and arthroplasty is eventually required. Enhancement of bone regeneration is a critical management strategy employed in osteonecrosis therapy. Bone tissue engineering based on engineered three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with appropriate architecture and osteoconductive activity, alone or functionalized with bioactive factors, have been developed to enhance bone regeneration in osteonecrosis. In this review, we elaborate on the ideal properties of 3D scaffolds for enhanced bone regeneration in osteonecrosis, including biocompatibility, degradability, porosity, and mechanical performance. In addition, we summarize the development of 3D scaffolds alone or functionalized with bioactive factors for accelerating bone regeneration in osteonecrosis and discuss their prospects for translation to clinical practice. Engineered three-dimensional scaffolds boost bone regeneration in osteonecrosis. The ideal properties of three-dimensional scaffolds for osteonecrosis treatment are discussed. Bioactive factors-functionalized three-dimensional scaffolds are promising bone regeneration devices for osteonecrosis management. The challenges and opportunities of engineered three-dimensional scaffolds for osteonecrosis therapy are predicted.

Abstract
Green tea drinking can ameliorate postmenopausal osteoporosis by increasing the bone mineral density. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the abundant and active compound of tea catechin, was proven to be able to reduce bone loss and ameliorate microarchitecture in female ovariectomized rats. EGCG can also enhance the osteogenic differentiation of murine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and inhibit the osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells by modulation of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegrin (OPG) (RANK/RANKL/OPG) pathway. Our previous study also found that EGCG can promote bone defect healing in the distal femur partially via bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). Considering the osteoinduction property of BMP-2, we hypothesized that EGCG could accelerate the bone healing process with an increased expression of BMP-2. In this manuscript, we studied whether the local use of EGCG can facilitate tibial fracture healing. Fifty-six 4-month-old rats were randomly assigned to two groups after being weight-matched: a control group with vehicle treatment (Ctrl) and a study group with 10 µmol/L, 40 µL, EGCG treatment (EGCG). Two days after the operation, the rats were treated daily with EGCG or vehicle by percutaneous local injection for 2 weeks. The application of EGCG enhanced callus formation by increasing the bone volume and subsequently improved the mechanical properties of the tibial bone, including the maximal load, break load, stiffness, and Young’s modulus. The results of the histology and BMP-2 immunohistochemistry staining showed that EGCG treatment accelerated the bone matrix formation and produced a stronger expression of BMP-2. Taken together, this study for the first time demonstrated that local treatment of EGCG can accelerate the fracture healing process at least partly via BMP-2.

Abstract
Severe adverse reactions of bisphosphonates and anti-resorptive or anti-angiogenic medications, termed medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), have been reported. MRONJ are difficult to completely cure and could cause great pain to patients. Recent studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies are effective for treating MRONJ, but the method of intravenous injection is unstable and increases the risk of producing tumors. In the present study, low-acyl gellan gum (LAGG) hydrogels were modified with hemicellulose polysaccharide microfibers (PMs) to improve the performance of supporting three-dimensional (3D) cell growth. LAGG-PM composite hydrogels were found to be nontoxic to rat adipose-derived stem cells (rADSCs) in vitro. The hydrogels also promoted the secretion of angiogenic factors, induced osteoclastogenesis by conditioned medium, and supported osteogenic marker expression after the addition of human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). Due to its injectability, the LAGG-PM composite hydrogel incorporated with rADSCs and BMP-2 could be applied into the MRONJ lesion site, which promoted mucosal recovery, bone tissue reconstruction, and osteoclastogenesis. This study confirms the potential applications of LAGG-PM composite hydrogels as 3D cell culture platforms and delivery vehicles for the treatment of MRONJ in a rat model.

Abstract
The fragile nature of porous bioceramic substitutes cannot match the toughness of bone, which limits the use of these materials in clinical load-bearing applications. Statins can enhance bone healing, but it could show rhabdomyolysis/inflammatory response after overdosing. In this study, the drug-containing bone grafts were developed from poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid)-polyethylene glycol (PLGA-PEG) nanoparticles encapsulating simvastatin (SIM) (SIM-PP NPs) loaded within an appropriately mechanical bioceramic scaffold (BC). The combination bone graft provides dual functions of osteoconduction and osteoinduction. The mechanical properties of the bioceramic are enhanced mainly based on the admixture of a combustible reverse-negative thermoresponsive hydrogel (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide base). We showed that SIM-PP NPs can increase the activity of alkaline phosphatase and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stem cells. To verify the bone-healing efficacy of this drug-containing bone grafts, a nonunion radial endochondral ossification bone defect rabbit model (N = 3/group) and a nonunion calvarial intramembranous defect Sprague Dawley (SD) rat model (N = 5/group) were used. The results indicated that SIM-PP NPs combined with BC can improve the healing of nonunion bone defects of the radial bone and calvarial bone. Therefore, the BC containing SIM-PP NPs may be appropriate for clinical use as a synthetic alternative to autologous bone grafting that can overcome the problem of determining the clinical dosage of simvastatin drugs to promote bone healing.

Abstract
Vertical vibration (VV) is a whole-body vibration with mechanical loading that commonly used in rehabilitation and sports training to increase athlete muscle strength. Our previous study showed that low-magnitude, low-frequency VV at 8 Hz and 10 Hz increased myoblast myogenesis. Herein, we investigated whether a VV frequency at low-frequency 5-10 Hz has anabolic effects on tenocytes and improves tendon stiffness. In primary tenocytes, 10 Hz VV treatment increased the tenogenic marker gene expression of tenomodulin and extracellular matrix type I collagen but decreased decorin expression. qPCR and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) results showed that TGF-β1 expression was increased in tenocytes after 3 days of 10 Hz VV treatment in vitro and in Achilles tendons after 3 weeks in vivo. Tenomodulin expression and Achilles tendon stiffness were significantly increased in Achilles tendons after 3 weeks in vivo. We also showed that the TGF-β1 receptor inhibitor SB431542 (10 μM) decreased the expression of tenomodulin and type I collagen but increased the decorin expression in tenocytes. These results indicated that the 10 Hz VV stimulated anabolic effects in tenocytes by increasing TGF-β1 expression that subsequently increases the expression of tenomodulin and type I collagen, and increased the Achilles tendon stiffness. This study provides insight into the low-frequency 10 Hz VV treatment improves tendon properties and can minimizes the risk of ligament/tendon reinjure during rehabilitation.

Enhancement of chondrogenesis of adipose-derived stem cells in HA-PNIPAAm-CL hydrogel for cartilage regeneration in rabbits. Sci Rep 2018; 8:10526.

Abstract
Injectable thermoresponsive hydrogels have the advantages of effective cell delivery and minimal invasion for tissue engineering applications. In this study, we investigated the chondroinductive potential of newly developed hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (HA-PNIPAAm-CL) hydrogels on enhancing rabbit ADSC (rADSC) chondrogenesis in vitro and in the synovial cavity of rabbit. The HA-mixed PNIPAAm (HA-PNIPAAm-CP) and HA-cross-linked PNIPAAm (HA-PNIPAAm-CL) were fabricated using physical interaction and chemical cross-linking methods, respectively. The in vitro results showed that, compared to unmodified PNIPAAm, both HA-modified hydrogels significantly increased cell viability, chondrogenic marker gene (aggrecan and type II collagen) expression and sulfide glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) formation in embedded rADSCs. However, HA-PNIPAAm-CL showed the highest rADSC viability and chondrogenesis. The chondrogenic effects of HA-modified hydrogels on rADSCs were confirmed in vivo by the intraarticular injection of hydrogel-embedded rADSC constructs into rabbit synovial cavities for 3 weeks and tracing with CM-DiI labeling. Neocartilage formation in the hydrogels was determined by histomorphological staining of GAG and type II collagen. In vivo injected rADSC/HA-PNIPAAm-CL constructs showed more hyaline cartilage formation than that of rADSC/HA-PNIPAAm-CP and rADSC/PNIPAAm constructs in the synovial cavity of rabbit. These results suggest that the HA-PNIPAAm-CL provides a suitable microenvironment to enhance ADSC chondrogenesis for articular cartilage tissue engineering applications.

Localization and promotion of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 bioactivity on extracellular matrix mimetic chondroitin sulfate-functionalized calcium phosphate cement scaffolds.

[PMID: 29355717 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2017] [Revised: 11/28/2017] [Accepted: 01/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Localization of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) with continuous and effective osteogenic stimulation is still a great challenge in the field of bone regeneration. To achieve this aim, rhBMP-2 was tethered on chondroitin sulfate (CS)-functionalized calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffolds through specific noncovalent interactions. CS, one of the core glycosaminoglycans, was covalently conjugated onto CPC scaffolds with the assistance of polydopamine (PDA) and further immobilized rhBMP-2 in a biomimetic form. The CPC-PDA-CS scaffolds not only controlled the release kinetics and presentation state of rhBMP-2 but also effectively increased the expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein receptors (BMPRs) and enhanced the recognitions of the remaining rhBMP-2 to BMPRs. Strikingly, the rhBMP-2-loaded CPC-PDA-CS significantly promoted the cellular surface translocation of BMPRs (especially BMPR-IA). In vivo studies demonstrated that, compared with the rhBMP-2 upon CPC and CPC-PDA, the rhBMP-2 upon CPC-PDA-CS exhibited sustained release and induced high quality and more ectopic bone formation. Collectively, these results suggest that rhBMP-2 can be localized within CS-functionalized CPC scaffolds and exert continuous, long-term, and effective osteogenic stimulation. Thus, this work could provide new avenues in mimicking bone extracellular matrix microenvironment and localizing growth factor activity for enhanced bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE A bioinspired chondroitin sulfate (CS)-functionalized calcium phosphate cement (CPC) platform was developed to tether recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), which could exhibit continuous, long-term, and effective osteogenic stimulation in bone tissue engineering. Compared with rhBMP-2-loaded CPC, the rhBMP-2-loaded CPC-polydopamine-CS scaffolds induced higher expression of bone morphogenetic protein receptors (BMPRs), greater cellular surface translocation of bone morphogenetic protein receptor-IA, higher binding affinity of BMPRs/rhBMP-2, and thus higher activation of the drosophila gene mothers against decapentaplegic protein-1/5/8 (Smad1/5/8) and extracellular-regulated protein kinases-1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling. This work can provide new guidelines for the design of BMP-2-based bioactive materials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Subchondral bone has been identified as an attractive target for KOA. To determine whether a minimally invasive micro-scaffolds could be used to induce regeneration of knee subchondral bone lesions, and to examine the protective effect of subchondral bone regeneration on upper cartilage, a ready-to-use injectable treatment with nanohydroxyapatite-chitosan-gelatin micro-scaffolds (HaCGMs) is proposed. Human-infrapatellar-fat-pad-derived adipose stem cells (IPFP-ASCs) were used as a cellular model to examine the osteo-inductivity and biocompatibility of HaCGMs, which were feasibly obtained with potency for multi-potential differentiations. Furthermore, a subchondral bone lesion model was developed to mimic the necrotic region removing performed by surgeons before sequestrectomy. HaCGMs were injected into the model to induce regeneration of subchondral bone. HaCGMs exhibited desirable swelling ratios, porosity, stiffness, and bioactivity and allowed cellular infiltration. Eight weeks after treatment, assessment via X-ray imaging, micro-CT imaging, and histological analysis revealed that rabbits treated with HaCGMs had better subchondral bone regeneration than those not treated. Interestingly, rabbits in the HaCGM treatment group also exhibited improved reservation of upper cartilage compared to those in other groups, as shown by safranin O-fast green staining. Present study provides an in-depth demonstration of injectable HaCGM-based regenerative therapy, which may provide an attractive alternative strategy for treating KOA.

Combined Treatment with an Anticoagulant and a Vasodilator Prevents Steroid-Associated Osteonecrosis of Rabbit Femoral Heads by Improving Hypercoagulability. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:1624074.

Abstract
Steroid-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head remains a challenging problem in orthopedics worldwide. One pathomechanism is ischemia of the femoral head, as a result of thrombus formation and vasoconstriction. The present study investigates the effects of combination prevention with enoxaparin and EGb 761 on steroid-associated ONFH in rabbits. Rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups (control group, model group, enoxaparin group, ginkgo group, and combination group). With the exception of the control group, the groups of rabbits were modeled with lipopolysaccharide and methylprednisolone acetate. Starting with modeling, the enoxaparin group and ginkgo group were injected with 1 μg/kg/day enoxaparin subcutaneously and orally given 40 mg/kg/day EGb 761 for 4 weeks, respectively; the combination group received both treatments. After modeling for 6 weeks, the hematology data indicated prolonged PT and APTT in the three prevention groups. The micro-CT examination revealed higher bone density and better structure; histomorphometry revealed significant pathological changes. Immunohistochemistry revealed higher expression of BMP-2 and VEGF, thus revealing better osteogenesis and angiogenesis activities. Among the three prevention groups, the combination group had the most efficient results. In conclusion, the combined prevention with an anticoagulant and a vasodilator has the potential to decrease the incidence of steroid-associated ONFH in rabbits.

Abstract
We demonstrated in a value-added study that the combination of calcium phosphate–based bone substitute (MaxiBone® bioceramics) and simvastatin/poly lactic- co-glycolic acid (SIMm) carriers which were fabricated by GMP pharmaceutical company and underwent our patterned double-emulsion technique can promote bone growth. The average size distribution of SIMm, the encapsulation efficacy, and the in vitro release profile of simvastatin in SIMm over 14 days were investigated in this study. Based on the results of Alizarin Red S staining and alkaline phosphatase activity, the released simvastatin of SIMm can effectively induce osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (D1 cells). In the non-union fracture model of animal study, the MaxiBone bioceramics group and MaxiBone bioceramics with SIMm group showed a significant increase in the percentages of new bone matrix compared with the control group and SIMm groups at the 8th and 10th weeks. Moreover, the MaxiBone bioceramics with SIMm group showed the strongest effect in new bone formation among these groups. We concluded that the calcium phosphate–based ceramics of MaxiBone combined with SIMm can accelerate osteogenic differentiation and bone growth in vitro and in vivo. Our results provide a proof of concept that SIMm can play as an osteoinductive material and the combination with bone substitutes with osteoconductive property effectively enhance bone growth, and this treatment is value added for clinical application, especially in the healing of large bone defects or non-union.

Abstract
In situ tissue regeneration approach aims to exploit the body's own biological resources and reparative capability and recruit host cells by utilizing cell-instructive biomaterials. In order to immobilize and release bioactive factors in biomaterials, it is important to engineer the load effectiveness, release kinetics and cell recruiting capabilities of bioactive molecules by using suitable bonding strategies. Stromal cell-derived factor 1α (SDF-1α) is one of the most potent chemokines for stem cell recruitment, and SDF-1α-loaded scaffolds have been used for the regeneration of many types of tissues. This review summarizes the strategies to incorporate SDF-1α into scaffolds, including direct loading or adsorption, polyion complexes, specific heparin-mediated interaction and particulate system, which may be applied to the immobilization of other chemokines or growth factors. In addition, we discuss the application of these strategies in the regeneration of tissues such as blood vessel, myocardium, cartilage and bone.

Abstract
We have previously grafted human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) with blood plasma to treat rat tibia nonunion. To further examine the biological characteristics of this process, we applied an established hUC-MSCs-treated rat nonunion model with the addition of an inhibitor of AKT. SD rats (80) were randomly divided into four groups: a fracture group (positive control); a nonunion group (negative control); a hUC-MSCs grafting with blood plasma group; and a hUC-MSCs grafting with blood plasma & AKT blocker group. The animals were sacrificed under deep anesthesia at 4 and 8 weeks post fracture for analysis. The fracture line became less defined at 4 weeks and disappeared at 8 weeks postoperatively in both the hUC-MSCs grafting with blood plasma and grafting with blood plasma & the AKT blocker, which is similar to the fracture group. Histological immunofluorescence studies showed that the numbers of hUC-MSCs in the calluses were significantly higher in the hUC-MSCs grafting with blood plasma than those in group with the AKT blocker. More bone morphogenetic protein 2 and bone sialoprotein expression and less osteoprotegerin and bone gla protein expression were observed in the AKT blocker group compared to the hUC-MSCs grafting with blood plasma. AKT gene expression in the AKT blocker group was decreased 50% compared to the hUC-MSCs with plasma group and decreased 70% compared to the fracture group, while the elastic modulus was decreased. In summary, our work demonstrates that AKT may play a role in modulating osteogenesis induced by hUC-MSCs.

Abstract
In addition to excellent biocompatibility and mechanical performance, the new generation of bone and craniofacial implants are expected to proactively contribute to the regeneration process and dynamically interact with the host tissue. To this end, integration and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents has become a rapidly expanding area. The incorporated active molecules can offer supplementary features including promoting oteoconduction and angiogenesis, impeding bacterial infection and modulating host body reaction. Major limitations of the current practices consist of low drug stability overtime, poor control of release profile and kinetics as well as complexity of finding clinically appropriate drug dosage. In consideration of the multifaceted cascade of bone regeneration process, this research is moving towards dual/multiple drug delivery, where precise control on simultaneous or sequential delivery, considering the possible synergetic interaction of the incorporated bioactive factors is of utmost importance. Herein, recent advancements in fabrication of synthetic load bearing implants equipped with various drug delivery systems are reviewed. Smart drug delivery solutions, newly developed to provide higher tempo-spatial control on the delivery of the pharmaceutical agents for targeted and stimuli responsive delivery are highlighted. The future trend of implants with bone drug delivery mechanisms and the most common challenges hindering commercialization and the bench to bedside progress of the developed technologies are covered.

Abstract
Mechanical strength and its long-term stability of bioceramic scaffolds is still a problem to treat the osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Considering the long-term stability of diopside (DIO) ceramic but poor mechanical strength, we developed the DIO-based porous bioceramic composites via dilute magnesium substituted wollastonite reinforcing and three-dimensional (3D) printing. The experimental results showed that the secondary phase (i.e. 10% magnesium substituting calcium silicate; CSM10) could readily improve the sintering property of the bioceramic composites (DIO/CSM10-x, x = 0-30) with increasing the CSM10 content from 0% to 30%, and the presence of the CSM10 also improved the biomimetic apatite mineralization ability in the pore struts of the scaffolds. Furthermore, the flexible strength (12.5-30 MPa) and compressive strength (14-37 MPa) of the 3D printed porous bioceramics remarkably increased with increasing CSM10 content, and the compressive strength of DIO/CSM10-30 showed a limited decay (from 37 MPa to 29 MPa) in the Tris buffer solution for a long time stage (8 weeks). These findings suggest that the new CSM10-reinforced diopside porous constructs possess excellent mechanical properties and can potentially be used to the clinic, especially for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head work as a bioceramic rod.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) following femoral neck fractures is a rare, yet severe, disorder in children and adolescents. This study evaluated the effectiveness of core decompression (CD) combined with implantation of bone marrow-derived cells (BMDC) and rhBMP-2 for osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) after femoral neck fractures in children and adolescents. This study included 51 patients, aged 11.4-18.1 years, with ARCO stages I-III ONFH after femoral neck fractures between 2004 and 2010. The hips were divided into two groups based on whether the lateral pillar of the femoral head (LPFH) was preserved: LPFH and non-LPFH groups. All patients were followed up clinically and radiographically for a minimum of 5 years. 44 patients (86.3%) had improved clinical outcome. Radiologically, 9 of the 51 hips (17.6%) exhibited collapse onset or progression of the femoral head or narrowing of the hip joint space, and one patient in the non-LPFH group required hip arthroplasty due to the worsened syndrome. The technique provided an effective therapeutic option for children and adolescents with ONFH following femoral neck fractures. It relieves hip pain and prevents the progression of osteonecrosis in young patients lasting more than 5 years after surgery.

Abstract
Adiponectin (APN) is the most abundant adipocyte-secreted adipokine; it regulates energy homeostasis and exerts well-characterized insulin-sensitizing properties. Previous studies have verified that globular adiponectin (gAPN) is also involved in bone metabolism, although observations have been controversial. The purpose of the current study is to use an APN-knockout (APN-KO) mouse model to evaluate the local delivery of gAPN to new bone formation. Using chitosan microspheres (CMs), we found that following an initial burst at 1 week, the release behavior of gAPN from the scaffold was sustained in a linear manner for the first 4 weeks, followed by a slower, more stable release from week 5 onwards. Interestingly, PLGA/β-TCP/CM-loaded gAPN scaffolds implanted in APN-KO mice increased bone formation and mineralization, and enhanced osteogenic marker expression 28 days post-implantation. gAPN also promoted preosteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cellular proliferation in vitro. In MC3T3-E1 cells, adaptor protein-containing pleckstrin homology domain, phosphotyrosine domain, leucine zipper motif (APPL1) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) expression was upregulated in a time-dependent manner upon gAPN treatment, while APPL1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) pre-treatment reversed this enhanced expression. In conclusion, modified bone graft substitutes loaded with gAPN increase bone formation and mineralization in part by promoting osteoblast proliferation via the APPL1/PI3K pathway.

Abstract
Efficient and effective growth factor (GF) delivery is an ongoing challenge for tissue regeneration therapies. The accurate quantification of complex molecules such as GFs, encapsulated in polymeric delivery devices, is equally critical and just as complex as achieving efficient delivery of active GFs. In this study, GFs relevant to bone tissue formation, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7), were encapsulated, using the technique of electrospraying, into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles that contained poly(ethylene glycol) and trehalose to assist GF bioactivity. Typical quantification procedures, such as extraction and release assays using saline buffer, generated a significant degree of GF interactions, which impaired accurate assessment by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). When both dry BMP-7 and VEGF were processed with chloroform, as is the case during the electrospraying process, reduced concentrations of the GFs were detected by ELISA; however, the biological effect on myoblast cells (C2C12) or endothelial cells (HUVECs) was unaffected. When electrosprayed particles containing BMP-7 were cultured with preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1), significant cell differentiation into osteoblasts was observed up to 3 weeks in culture, as assessed by measuring alkaline phosphatase. In conclusion, this study showed how electrosprayed microparticles ensured efficient delivery of fully active GFs relevant to bone tissue engineering. Critically, it also highlights major discrepancies in quantifying GFs in polymeric microparticle systems when comparing ELISA with cell-based assays.

Abstract
The Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System has recently been widely used as the primary graft of choice in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. But the biological graft-bone healing still remains a problem. Previous studies have shown that simvastatin (SIM) stimulates bone formation. The objective of this study was to investigate whether surface coating with collagen containing low-dose SIM microsphere could enhance the surface biocompatibility of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligaments to accelerate graft-to-bone healing. The in vitro studies demonstrated that bone marrow stromal cells on the collagen-coated PET scaffolds (COL/PET) and simvastatin/collagen-coated PET scaffolds (SIM/COL/PET) proliferated vigorously. Compared with the PET group and the COL/PET group, SIM could induce bone marrow stromal cells' osteoblastic differentiation, high alkaline phosphatase activity, more mineralization deposition, and more expression of osteoblast-related genes, such as osteocalcin, runt-related transcription factor 2, bone morphogenetic protein-2, and vascular endothelial growth factor, in the SIM/COL/PET group. In vivo, rabbits received ACL reconstruction with different scaffolds. Histological analysis demonstrated that graft-bone healing was significantly greater with angiogenesis and osteogenesis in the SIM/COL/PET group than the other groups. In addition, biomechanical testing at the eighth week demonstrated a significant increase in the ultimate failure load and stiffness in the SIM/COL/PET group. The low dose of SIM-sustained release from SIM/COL/PET promoted the graft-bone healing via its effect on both angiogenesis and osteogenesis. This study suggested that collagen containing low-dose SIM microsphere coating on the surface of PET artificial ligaments could be potentially applied for ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) has unique bone regeneration property. The powerful osteoinductive nature makes it considered as second line of therapy in nonunion bone defect. A large number of carriers and delivery systems made up of different materials have been investigated for controlled and sustained release of BMP-2. The delivery systems are in the form of hydrogel, microsphere, nanoparticles, and fibers. The carriers used for the delivery are made up of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Implantation of these protein-loaded carrier leads to cell adhesion, degradation which eventually releases the drug/protein at site specific. But, problems like ectopic growth, lesser protein delivery, inactivation of the protein are reported in the available carrier systems. Therefore, it is need of an hour to modify the available carrier systems as well as explore other biomaterials with desired properties. In this review, all the reported carrier systems made of metals, ceramics, polymers, composites are evaluated in terms of their processing conditions, loading capacity and release pattern of BMP-2. Along with these biomaterials, the attempts of protein modification by adding some functional group to BMP-2 or extracting functional peptides from the protein to achieve the desired effect, is also evaluated. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nanostructured hydroxyapatite surfaces-mediated adsorption alters recognition of BMP receptor IA and bioactivity of bone morphogenetic protein-2. Acta Biomater 2015; 27:275-285. [PMID: 26360594 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2015.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2015] [Revised: 08/27/2015] [Accepted: 09/06/2015] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Highly efficient loading of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) onto carriers with desirable performance is still a major challenge in the field of bone regeneration. Till now, the nanoscaled surface-induced changes of the structure and bioactivity of BMP-2 remains poorly understood. Here, the effect of nanoscaled surface on the adsorption and bioactivity of BMP-2 was investigated with a series of hydroxyapatite surfaces (HAPs): HAP crystal-coated surface (HAP), HAP crystal-coated polished surface (HAP-Pol), and sintered HAP crystal-coated surface (HAP-Sin). The adsorption dynamics of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) and the accessibility of the binding epitopes of adsorbed rhBMP-2 for BMP receptors (BMPRs) were examined by a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. Moreover, the bioactivity of adsorbed rhBMP-2 and the BMP-induced Smad signaling were investigated with C2C12 model cells. A noticeably high mass-uptake of rhBMP-2 and enhanced recognition of BMPR-IA to adsorbed rhBMP-2 were found on the HAP-Pol surface. For the rhBMP-2-adsorbed HAPs, both ALP activity and Smad signaling increased in the order of HAP-Sin<HAP<HAP-Pol. Furthermore, hybrid molecular dynamics and steered molecular dynamics simulations validated that BMP-2 tightly anchored on the HAP-Pol surface with a relative loosened conformation, but the HAP-Sin surface induced a compact conformation of BMP-2. In conclusion, the nanostructured HAPs can modulate the way of adsorption of rhBMP-2, and thus the recognition of BMPR-IA and the bioactivity of rhBMP-2. These findings can provide insightful suggestions for the future design and fabrication of rhBMP-2-based scaffolds/implants. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This study provides strong evidences that nanoscaled HAPs yield extraordinary influence on the adsorption behaviors and bioactivity of rhBMP-2. It has been found that the surface roughness and crystallinity played a crucial role in governing the way of rhBMP-2 binding to HAPs, and thus the conformation, recognition of BMPR-IA and bioactivity of adsorbed rhBMP-2. It is also for the first time to correlate numerical modeling and experimental results of the bioactivity of rhBMP-2 on nanostructured HAPs. This work can pave an avenue for the wider uses of rhBMP-2 in clinical applications and arouse broad interests among researchers in the fields of nano-biotechnology, biomaterials and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
A plastic and biodegradable bone substitute consists of poly (L-lactic-co-glycolic) acid and 30 wt % β-tricalcium phosphate has been previously fabricated, but its osteogenic capability required further improvement. We investigated the use of globular adiponectin (gAPN) as an anabolic agent for tissue-engineered bone using this scaffold. A qualitative analysis of the bone regeneration process was carried out using μCT and histological analysis 12 weeks after implantation. CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) superimposition was used to characterise the effect of the different treatments on bone formation. In this study, we also explored adiponectin's (APN) influence on primary cultured human jaw bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells gene expressions involved in the osteogenesis. We found OPEN ACCESS Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2015, 16 24947 that composite scaffolds loaded with gAPN or bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) exhibited significantly increased bone formation and mineralisation following 12 weeks in the extraction sockets of beagle dogs, as well as enhanced expression of osteogenic markers. In vitro investigation revealed that APN also promoted osteoblast differentiation of primary cultured human jaw bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (h-JBMMSCs), accompanied by increased activity of alkaline phosphatase, greater mineralisation, and production of the osteoblast-differentiated genes osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein and collagen type I, which was reversed by APPL1 siRNA. Therefore, the composite scaffold loaded with APN exhibited superior activity for guided bone regeneration compared with blank control or Bio-Oss® (a commercially available product). The composite scaffold with APN has significant potential for clinical applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head, also known as avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, is a progressive disease that predominantly affects younger patients. During early stage of ON, decompression of the femoral head has been commonly used to improve pain. The decompression has been augmented with nonvascularized or vascularized bone grafts, mesenchymal stems cells, and growth factors. The use of adjuvant growth factors to supplement the core decompression has mainly been limited to animal models in an attempt to regenerate the necrotic lesion of ON. Factors utilized include bone morphogenetic proteins, vascular endothelial growth factors, hepatocyte growth factors, fibroblast growth factors, granulocyte colony-stimulating factors, and stem cells factors. In animal models, the use of these factors has been shown to increase bone formation and angiogenesis. Although promising, the use of these growth factors and cell-based therapies clinically remains limited.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of co-expressing hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 in BMSCs (bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells) on the repairing process of radial segmental defects in rats. METHODS BMSCs were infected with a high titer recombinant adenovirus carrying hTGF-βl and/or hBMP-2 genes. Expression of exogenous genes in BMSCs was confirmed by RT-PCR and ELISA assays. In vitro effects of exogenous genes were assessed by MTT and ALP activity tests. A left radial defect model was created using 120 SD rats. Genetically modified or unmodified BMSCs were implanted with collagen sponge scaffolds into the 5-mm radial defect. The bone repair process was systematically monitored and evaluated by X-ray examinations, gross anatomic examinations, histological analyses, and biomechanical tests. RESULTS Expression of hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 showed synergistic effects on promoting BMSC proliferation and enhancing ALP activity in vitro. Bone repair assays showed that hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 promoted the production of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. Implanted BMSCs transfected with both hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 led to the best bone repair outcome. CONCLUSION hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 can synergistically improve the bone repair process. Our results suggest a potential clinical value of combining hBMP-2 and hTGF-β1 in repairing bone defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE Incorporation of alkaline nano-/microparticles for neutralization of acidic degradation products into degradable polymer foams requires the use of organic solvents, which may compromise biocompatibility and may be associated with biological hazards. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a solvent-free method to produce porous poly (DL-lactic acid)/calcium carbonate composite scaffolds (PDLLA/CaCO3) for controlled release of incorporated osteogenic growth factors. METHODS Composite PDLLA/CaCO3 granules were produced using a milling process and compared to composite material fabricated through a solution precipitation process using organic solvents. Particle size and mineral content were comparable in both groups. Supercritical carbon dioxide pressure was used to incorporate rhBMP2 into both composites. RESULTS Gas foaming resulted in comparable pore structures in both groups exhibiting a homogenous distribution of CaCO3 microparticles in the polymer scaffolds. The elasticity modulus of both types of scaffolds was not significantly different whereas the bending strength of the solvent-free produced scaffolds was significantly lower. The pH values remained constant between 6.90 and 7.25 during degradation of both composites. Release of BMP2 was significantly higher and the induction of alkaline phosphatase was more reliable in the group of scaffolds produced without organic solvents. CONCLUSION Solvent-free fabrication of composite PDLLA/CaCO3 scaffolds for controlled release of bone growth factors through gas foaming significantly enhances the release of growth factors and improves the biological efficacy of the incorporated growth factors.

Abstract
Mesoporous calcium-silicon xerogels with a pore size of 15 nm (MCS-15) and pore volume of 1.43 cm(3)/g were synthesized by using 1,3,5-mesitylene (TMB) as the pore-expanding agent. The MCS-15 exhibited good degradability with the weight loss of 50 wt% after soaking in Tris-HCl solution for 56 days, which was higher than the 30 wt% loss shown by mesoporous calcium-silicon xerogels with a pore size of 4 nm (MCS-4). The pore size and pore volume of MCS-15 had significant influences on load and release of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). The MCS-15 had a higher capacity to encapsulate a large amount of rhBMP-2; it could adsorb 45 mg/g of rhBMP-2 in phosphate-buffered saline after 24 hours, which was more than twice that with MCS-4 (20 mg/g). Moreover, the MCS-15 system exhibited sustained release of rhBMP-2 as compared with MCS-4 system (showing a burst release). The MCS-15/rhBMP-2 system could promote the proliferation and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells, showing good cytocompatibility and bioactivity. The results indicated that MCS-15, with larger mesopore size and higher pore volume, might be a promising carrier for loading and sustained release of rhBMP-2, which could be used as bone repair material with built-in osteoinduction function in bone reconstruction.

Abstract
Composite scaffold comprised of hollow hydroxyapatite (HA) and chitosan (designated hHA/CS) was prepared as a delivery vehicle for recombinating human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). The in vitro and in vivo biological activities of rhBMP2 released from the composite scaffold were then investigated. The rhBMP-2 was firstly loaded into the hollow HA microspheres, and then the rhBMP2-loaded HA microspheres were further incorporated into the chitosan matrix. The chitosan not only served to bind the HA microspheres together and kept them at the implant site, but also effectively modified the release behavior of rhBMP-2. The in vitro release and bioactivity analysis confirmed that the rhBMP2 could be loaded and released from the composite scaffolds in bioactive form. In addition, the composite scaffolds significantly reduced the initial burst release of rhBMP2, and thus providing prolonged period of time (as long as 60 days) compared with CS scaffolds. In vivo bone regenerative potential of the rhBMP2-loaded composite scaffolds was evaluated in a rabbit radius defect model. The results revealed that the rate of new bone formation in the rhBMP2-loaded hHA/CS group was higher than that in both negative control and rhBMP2-loaded CS group. These observations suggest that the hHA/CS composite scaffold would be effective and feasible as a delivery vehicle for growth factors in bone regeneration and repair.

Abstract
A microcapsule prepared from triblock copolymer poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic acid) (PLA-PEG-PLA, PELA) was investigated as a controlled release carrier for recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). The rhBMP-2/PELA microspheres were prepared using the water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) solvent evaporation method. This work was conducted to optimize the entrapping conditions of the rhBMP-2 loaded PELA copolymer. The effects on encapsulation efficiency (EE) of different molecular weights (MW) of PEG in the copolymer, the amount of PELA, the amount of rhBMP-2, the span-20 concentration, the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentration and stirring time were tested. On the basis of single-factor experiments, the optimum parameters were achieved using response surface methodology (RSM). The results showed that the highest EE of BMP-2 was achieved with a span-20 concentration of 0.5%, PEG MW 4000 Da, a stirring time of 30 min at 800 rpm min(-1), 282.3 mg of PELA, 1 μg of rhBMP-2 and PVA concentration 0.79%. Under these optimal conditions, it was predicted that the highest EE to be achieved would be 76.5%; the actual EE achieved was 75%.

Abstract
Background Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is particularly effective in improving osteogenesis in patients with diminished bone healing capabilities, such as individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who have impaired bone healing capabilities and increased risk of developing osteoporosis. This study measured the effects of rhBMP-2 treatment on osteogenesis by observing the dose-dependent effect of localized delivery of rhBMP-2 on biomechanical parameters of bone using a hydroxyapatite/tri-calcium phosphate (HA/TCP) carrier in a T1DM-related osteoporosis animal model. Materials and methods Two different doses of rhBMP-2 (LD low dose, HD high dose) with a HA/TCP carrier were injected into the femoral intramedullary canal of rats with T1DM-related osteoporosis. Two more diabetic rat groups were injected with saline alone and with HA/TCP carrier alone. Radiographs and micro-computed tomography were utilized for qualitative assessment of bone mineral density (BMD). Biomechanical testing occurred at 4- and 8-week time points; parameters tested included torque to failure, torsional rigidity, shear stress, and shear modulus. Results At the 4-week time point, the LD and HD groups both exhibited significantly higher BMD than controls; at the 8-week time point, the HD group exhibited significantly higher BMD than controls. Biomechanical testing revealed dose-dependent, higher trends in all parameters tested at the 4- and 8-week time points, with minimal significant differences. Conclusions Groups treated with rhBMP-2 demonstrated improved bone mineral density at both 4 and 8 weeks compared to control saline groups, in addition to strong trends towards improvement of intrinsic and extrinsic biomechanical properties when compared to control groups. Data revealed trends toward dose-dependent increases in peak torque, torsional rigidity, shear stress, and shear modulus 4 weeks after rhBMP-2 treatment. Level of evidence Not applicable.

Abstract
Simvastatin (SIM) can increase osteoblast activity and enhance osteogenesis. However, some limitations of SIM have been noted, such as statin-associated rhabdomyolysis and its poor solubility in water. In this study, we fabricated new cationic nanoparticles (NPs) designed for the controlled release of hydrophobic SIM and endocytosis by cells with the aim of reducing the total required amount of SIM administered and enhancing the osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). New copolymers of bis(poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-phenylalanine-polyethylene glycol)-quaternary ammonium grafted diethyltriamine (bis(PLGA-phe-PEG)-qDETA; BPPD) were created using a diethyltriamine-quaternary ammonium (qDETA) moiety, hetero-bifunctional polyethylene glycol (COOH-PEG-NH2), phenylalanine (phe) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). SIM encapsulated in BPPD NPs (SIM/BPPD) was fabricated using a water-miscible solvent. The size distributions of BPPD NPs and SIM/BPPD NPs, the encapsulation efficacy and the in vitro release profile of SIM in SIM/BPPD NPs over 6days were investigated. Based on the results of Alizarin Red S staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assays and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) results, we propose that SIM/BPPD NPs may induce osteogenesis in BMSCs by enhancing the expression of an osteogenic gene, which subsequently elevates ALP activity and mineralization, resulting in enhanced BMSC osteogenesis. These results suggest that the SIM/BPPD NPs may be used as hydrophobic drug carriers to reduce the total required amount of SIM administered and to provide an effective SIM release mechanism for enhancing BMSC osteogenesis. Surprisingly, BPPD NPs were also shown to have the ability to promote osteogenesis in BMSCs by enhancing the expression of osteogenic genes, especially osteocalcin (OC), and subsequently elevating ALP activity and mineralization.

Abstract
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) has been successfully applied to accelerate fracture repair since 1979. Recent studies suggest that PEMF might be used as a nonoperative treatment for the early stages of osteonecrosis. However, PEMF treatment requires a minimum of ten hours per day for the duration of the treatment. In this study, we modified the protocol of the single-pulsed electromagnetic field (SPEMF) that only requires a 3-minute daily treatment. In the in vitro study, cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation was evaluated in the hBMSCs. In the in vivo study, new bone formation and revascularization were evaluated in the necrotic bone graft. Results from the in vitro study showed no significant cytotoxic effects on the hBMSCs after 5 days of SPEMF treatment (1 Tesla, 30 pulses per day). hBMSC proliferation was enhanced in the SPEMF-treated groups after 2 and 4 days of treatment. The osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs was significantly increased in the SPEMF-treated groups after 3–7 days of treatment. Mineralization also increased after 10, 15, 20, and 25 days of treatment in SPEMF-treated groups compared to the control group. The 7-day short-course treatment achieved similar effects on proliferation and osteogenesis as the 25-day treatment. Results from the in vivo study also demonstrated that both the 7-day and 25-day treatments of SPEMF increased callus formation around the necrotic bone and also increased new vessel formation and osteocyte numbers in the grafted necrotic bone at the 2nd and 4th weeks after surgery. In conclusion, the newly developed SPEMF accelerates osteogenic differentiation of cultured hBMSCs and enhances bone repair, neo-vascularization, and cell growth in necrotic bone in mice. The potential clinical advantage of the SPEMF is the short daily application and the shorter treatment course. We suggest that SPEMF may be used to treat fractures and the early stages of osteonecrosis.
