Hypercholesterolemia exacerbates in-stent restenosis in rabbits: Studies of the mitigating effect of stent surface modification with a CD47-derived peptide. Atherosclerosis 2024; 390:117432. [PMID: 38241977 PMCID: PMC10939830 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2023.117432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hypercholesterolemia (HC) has previously been shown to augment the restenotic response in animal models and humans. However, the mechanistic aspects of in-stent restenosis (ISR) on a hypercholesterolemic background, including potential augmentation of systemic and local inflammation precipitated by HC, are not completely understood. CD47 is a transmembrane protein known to abort crucial inflammatory pathways. Our studies have examined the interrelation between HC, inflammation, and ISR and investigated the therapeutic potential of stents coated with a CD47-derived peptide (pepCD47) in the hypercholesterolemic rabbit model. METHODS PepCD47 was immobilized on metal foils and stents using polybisphosphonate coordination chemistry and pyridyldithio/thiol conjugation. Cytokine expression in buffy coat-derived cells cultured over bare metal (BM) and pepCD47-derivatized foils demonstrated an M2/M1 macrophage shift with pepCD47 coating. HC and normocholesterolemic (NC) rabbit cohorts underwent bilateral implantation of BM and pepCD47 stents (HC) or BM stents only (NC) in the iliac location. RESULTS A 40 % inhibition of cell attachment to pepCD47-modified compared to BM surfaces was observed. HC increased neointimal growth at 4 weeks post BM stenting. These untoward outcomes were mitigated in hypercholesterolemic rabbits treated with pepCD47-derivatized stents. Compared to NC animals, inflammatory cytokine immunopositivity and macrophage infiltration of peri-strut areas increased in HC animals and were attenuated in HC rabbits treated with pepCD47 stents. CONCLUSIONS Augmented inflammatory responses underlie severe ISR morphology in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Blockage of initial platelet and leukocyte attachment to stent struts through CD47 functionalization of stents mitigates the pro-restenotic effects of hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
Advances in material science have set the stage for nanoparticle-based research with potent applications for the diagnosis, bioimaging, and precise treatment of diseases. Despite the wide range of biomaterials developed, the rational design of biomaterials with predictable bioactivity and safety remains a critical challenge. In recent years, the field of cell-membrane-based therapeutics has emerged as a promising platform for addressing unmet medical needs. The utilization of natural cell membranes endows biomaterials with a remarkable ability to serve as biointerfaces that interact with the host environment. To improve the function and efficacy of cell-membrane-based therapeutics, a series of novel strategies is developed as cell-membrane-display nanotechnology, which utilizes various methods to selectively display therapeutic molecules of cell membranes on nanoparticles. Although cell-membrane-display nanotechnology remains in the early phases, considerable work is currently being conducted in the field. This review discusses details of innovative strategies for displaying cell-membrane molecules, including the following: 1) displaying molecules of cell membranes on biomaterials, 2) pretreating cell membranes to induce increased expression of inherent molecules of cell membranes and enhance their function, and 3) inserting additional functional molecules on cell membranes. For each area, the theoretical basis, application scenarios, and potential development are highlighted.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The aim was to investigate the association between MMP16 rs60298754 and symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) in southern Chinese. METHODS Seven hundred forty-five PD patients were recruited in this study. All patients were evaluated by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Hamilton anxiety rating scale and Hamilton depression rating scale, 39-item Parkinson's disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), and MDS-Unified PD Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). Symptoms were also recorded. RESULTS The difference of BPI and Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS) between two groups was showed (BPI: MMP16 wildtypes: 14.73 ± 14.45; MMP16 carriers: 10.95 ± 10.67, p 0.002; PDSS: MMP16 wildtypes: 117.80 ± 21.45; MMP16 carriers: 108.40 ± 23.95, p < 0.001). The association of apathy, nocturia, and sensitive to light were found (apathy: p 0.001, OR: 0.49, 0.32-0.76; nocturia: p < 0.001, OR: 3.57, 1.90-7.26; sensitive to light: p < 0.001, OR: 3.99, 2.01-7.74). CONCLUSIONS MMP16 rs60298754 was associated with the presence of apathy, pain, nocturia, and sensitive to light.

Abstract
Biomedical devices trigger immune responses when implanted in the body, as they are treated as foreign bodies. To avoid inflammatory responses and enhance the biocompatibility of biomedical devices, advanced coating technology that can modulate immune responses is essential. As a part of the immune response in the body, autologous cells evade attack from macrophages using CD47 ligands that function as markers for self. Inspired by this self-recognition system, we developed a camouflage coating for biomaterial surfaces using cell membrane vesicles that could suppress inflammatory responses. In this study, we used monocyte-derived cell membrane vesicles expressing CD47 for coating nanocellulose-coated substrates. Our data showed that presentation of CD47 to macrophages elicited negative signal transduction for immunosuppression. Further, for coating, we used cell membrane vesicles and plant-derived nanofibers. We observed that the supporting layer of cellulose nanofibers physically fixed cell membrane vesicles and provided hydrophilic surfaces to the polystyrene substrate. Based on CD47 signaling, cell membrane vesicle coating suppressed the inflammatory responses of stimulated macrophages. Camouflaging biomaterial surfaces with cell-derived components might serve as an advanced coating platform to suppress inflammatory responses and enhance tissue integrity for biomedical devices after implantation.

Abstract
The blood compatibility of various intravascular (IV) devices (e.g., catheters, sensors, etc.) is compromised by activation of platelets that can cause thrombus formation and device failure. Such devices also carry a high risk of microbial infection. Recently, nitric oxide (NO) releasing polymers/devices have been proposed to reduce these clinical problems. CD47, a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane protein with proven anti-inflammation/anti-platelet properties when immobilized on polymeric surfaces, is a good candidate to complement NO release in both effectiveness and longevity. In this work, we successfully appended CD47 peptides (pepCD47) to the surface of biomedical grade polyurethane (PU) copolymers. SIRPα binding and THP-1 cell attachment experiments strongly suggested that the pepCD47 retains its biological properties when bound to PU films. In spite of the potentially high reactivity of NO toward various amino acid residues in CD47, the efficacy of surface-immobilized pepCD47 to prevent inflammatory cell attachment was not inhibited after being subjected to a high flux of NO for three days, demonstrating excellent compatibility of the two species. We further constructed a CD47 surface immobilized silicone tubing filled with NO releasing S-nitrosoglutathione/ascorbic acid (GSNO/AA) solution for synergistic biocompatibility evaluation. Via an ex vivo Chandler loop model, we demonstrate for the first time that NO release and CD47 modification could function synergistically at the blood/material interface and produce greatly enhanced anti-inflammatory/anti-platelet effects. This concept should be readily implementable to create a new generation of thromboresistant/antimicrobial implantable devices.

Abstract
The host macrophage response is now well recognized as a predictor of the success or failure of biomaterial implants following placement. More specifically, shifts from an "M1" pro-inflammatory towards a more "M2-like" anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization profile have been shown to result in enhanced material integration and/or tissue regeneration downstream. As a result, a number of biomaterials-based approaches to controlling macrophage polarization have been developed. However, the ability to promote such activity is predicated upon an in-depth, context-dependent understanding of the host response to biomaterials. Recent work has shown the impacts of both tissue location and tissue status (i.e. underlying pathology) upon the host innate immune response to implants, representing a departure from a focus upon implant material composition and form. Thus, the ideas of "biocompatibility," the host macrophage reaction, and ideal material requirements and modification strategies may need to be revisited on a patient, tissue, and disease basis. Immunosenescence, dysregulation of macrophage function, and delayed resolution of immune responses in aged individuals have all been demonstrated, suggesting that the host response to biomaterials in aged individuals should differ from that in younger individuals. However, despite the increasing usage of implantable medical devices in aged patients, few studies examining the effects of aging upon the host response to biomaterials and the implications of this response for long-term integration and function have been performed. The objective of the present manuscript is to review the putative effects of aging upon the host response to implanted materials and to advance the hypothesis that age-related changes in the local microenvrionement, with emphasis on the extracellular matrix, play a previously unrecognized role in determining the host response to implants.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization during the host response is now a well-accepted predictor of outcomes following material implantation. Immunosenescence, dysregulation of macrophage function, and delayed resolution of immune responses in aged individuals have all been demonstrated, suggesting that host responses to materials in aged individuals should differ from those in younger individuals. However, few studies examining the effects of aging upon the host response have been performed. The present work sought to elucidate the impacts of aging upon the host response to polypropylene mesh implanted into 8-week-old and 18-month-old mice. The results showed that there are significant differences in macrophage surface marker expression, migration, and polarization during the early host macrophage response and delayed resolution of the host response in 18-month-old versus 8-week-old mice. These differences could not be attributed to cell-intrinsic defects alone, suggesting that the host macrophage response to implants is likely also dictated to a significant degree by the local tissue microenvironment. These results raise important questions about the design and testing of materials and devices often intended to treat aged individuals and suggest that an improved understanding of patient- and context-dependent macrophage responses has the potential to improve outcomes in aged individuals. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Addressing the aberrant interactions between immune cells and biomaterials represents an unmet need in biomaterial research. Although progress has been made in the development of bioinert coatings, identifying and targeting relevant cellular and molecular pathways can provide additional therapeutic strategies to address this major healthcare concern. To that end, we describe the immune inhibitory motif, receptor-ligand pairing of signal regulatory protein alpha and its cognate ligand CD47 as a potential signaling pathway to enhance biocompatibility. The goals of this article are to detail the known roles of CD47-signal regulatory protein alpha signal transduction pathway and to describe how immobilized CD47 can be used to mitigate the immune response to biomaterials. Current applications of CD47-modified biomaterials will also be discussed herein.

Abstract
The effectiveness of endovascular stents is hindered by in-stent restenosis (ISR), a secondary re-obstruction of treated arteries due to unresolved inflammation and activation of smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall. We previously demonstrated that immobilized CD47, a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane protein with an established role in immune evasion, can confer biocompatibility when appended to polymeric surfaces. In present studies, we test the hypothesis that CD47 immobilized onto metallic surfaces of stents can effectively inhibit the inflammatory response thus mitigating ISR. Recombinant CD47 (recCD47) or a peptide sequence corresponding to the Ig domain of CD47 (pepCD47), were attached to the surfaces of both 316L-grade stainless steel foils and stents using bisphosphonate coordination chemistry and thiol-based conjugation reactions to assess the anti-inflammatory properties of CD47-functionalized surfaces. Initial in vitro and ex vivo analysis demonstrated that both recCD47 and pepCD47 significantly reduced inflammatory cell attachment to steel surfaces without impeding on endothelial cell retention and expansion. Using a rat carotid stent model, we showed that pepCD47-functionalized stents prevented fibrin and platelet thrombus deposition, inhibited inflammatory cell attachment, and reduced restenosis by 30%. It is concluded that CD47-modified stent surfaces mitigate platelet and inflammatory cell attachment, thereby disrupting ISR pathophysiology.

Abstract
We review approaches and challenges in developing chemical sensor-based methods to accurately and continuously monitor levels of key analytes in blood related directly to the status of critically ill hospitalized patients. Electrochemical and optical sensor-based technologies have been pursued to measure important critical care species in blood [i.e., oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, electrolytes (K(+), Na(+), Cl(-), etc.), glucose, and lactate] in real-time or near real-time. The two main configurations examined to date for achieving this goal have been intravascular catheter sensors and patient attached ex vivo sensors with intermittent blood sampling via an attached indwelling catheter. We discuss the status of these configurations and the main issues affecting the accuracy of the measurements, including cell adhesion and thrombus formation on the surface of the sensors, sensor drift, sensor selectivity, etc. Recent approaches to mitigate these nagging performance issues that have prevented these technologies from clinical use are also discussed.

Abstract
Tissue contacting surfaces of medical devices initiate a host inflammatory response, characterized by adsorption of blood proteins and inflammatory cells triggering the release of cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), in an attempt to clear or isolate the foreign object from the body. This normal host response contributes to device-associated pathophysiology and addressing device biocompatibility remains an unmet need. Although widespread attempts have been made to render the device surfaces unreactive, the establishment of a completely bioinert coating has been untenable and demonstrates the need to develop strategies based upon the molecular mechanisms that define the interaction between host cells and synthetic surfaces. In this review, we discuss a family of transmembrane receptors, known as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-containing receptors, which show promise as potential targets to address aberrant biocompatibility. These receptors repress the immune response and ensure that the intensity of an immune response is appropriate for the stimuli. Particular emphasis will be placed on the known ITIM-containing receptor, Signal Regulatory Protein Alpha (SIRPhα), and its cognate ligand CD47. In addition, this review will discuss the potential of other ITIM-containing proteins as targets for addressing the aberrant biocompatibility of polymeric biomaterials.

Abstract
The foreign body reaction occurs when a synthetic surface is introduced to the body. It is characterized by adsorption of blood proteins and the subsequent attachment and activation of platelets, monocyte/macrophage adhesion, and inflammatory cell signaling events, leading to post-procedural complications. The Chandler Loop Apparatus is an experimental system that allows researchers to study the molecular and cellular interactions that occur when large volumes of blood are perfused over polymeric conduits. To that end, this apparatus has been used as an ex vivo model allowing the assessment of the anti-inflammatory properties of various polymer surface modifications. Our laboratory has shown that blood conduits, covalently modified via photoactivation chemistry with recombinant CD47, can confer biocompatibility to polymeric surfaces. Appending CD47 to polymeric surfaces could be an effective means to promote the efficacy of polymeric blood conduits. Herein is the methodology detailing the photoactivation chemistry used to append recombinant CD47 to clinically relevant polymeric blood conduits and the use of the Chandler Loop as an ex vivo experimental model to examine blood interactions with the CD47 modified and control conduits.
