[PMID: 38765245 PMCID: PMC11098954 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101086] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The immunomodulatory of implants have drawn more and more attention these years. However, the immunomodulatory of different elements on the same biomaterials have been rarely investigated. In this work, two widely used biosafety elements, iron and zinc added silicocarnotite (Ca5(PO4)2SiO4, CPS) were applied to explore the routine of elements on immune response. The immune reactions over time of Fe-CPS and Zn-CPS were explored at genetic level and protein level, and the effects of their immune microenvironment with different time points on osteogenesis were also investigated in depth. The results confirmed that both Fe-CPS and Zn-CPS had favorable ability to secret anti-inflammatory cytokines. The immune microenvironment of Fe-CPS and Zn-CPS also could accelerate osteogenesis and osteogenic differentiation in vitro and in vivo. In terms of mechanism, RNA-seq analysis and Western-blot experiment revealed that PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and JAK-STAT signaling pathways were activated of Fe-CPS to promote macrophage polarization from M1 to M2, and its immune microenvironment induced osteogenic differentiation through the activation of Hippo signaling pathway. In comparison, Zn-CPS inhibited polarization of M1 macrophage via the up-regulation of Rap1 signaling pathway and complement and coagulation cascade pathway, while its osteogenic differentiation related pathway of immune environment was NF-κB signaling pathway.

Realizing Both Antibacterial Activity and Cytocompatibility in Silicocarnotite Bioceramic via Germanium Incorporation. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:jfb14030154. [PMID: 36976078 PMCID: PMC10054726 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14030154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The treatment of infective or potentially infectious bone defects is a critical problem in the orthopedic clinic. Since bacterial activity and cytocompatibility are always contrary factors, it is hard to have them both in one material. The development of bioactive materials with a good bacterial character and without sacrificing biocompatibility and osteogenic activity, is an interesting and valuable research topic. In the present work, the antimicrobial characteristic of germanium, GeO2 was used to enhance the antibacterial properties of silicocarnotite (Ca5(PO4)2SiO4, CPS). In addition, its cytocompatibility was also investigated. The results demonstrated that Ge–CPS can effectively inhibit the proliferation of both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and it showed no cytotoxicity to rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). In addition, as the bioceramic degraded, a sustainable release of germanium could be achieved, ensuring long-term antibacterial activity. The results indicated that Ge–CPS has excellent antibacterial activity compared with pure CPS, while no obvious cytotoxicity was observed, which could make it a promising candidate for the bone repair of infected bone defects.

Abstract
Ultrasound utilizes a non-radiation technology that can meet modern standards to gain access to cheap, reliable and sustainable modern energy. Ultrasound technology can be implemented in the field of biomaterials for its exceptional potential in controlling the shape of nanomaterials. This study presents the first example of the production of soy and silk fibroin protein composite nanofibers in various ratios via combining ultrasonic technology with air-spray spinning. Characterization of ultrasonic spun nanofibers was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, water contact angle, water retention, enzymatic degradation, and cytotoxicity assays. The effects that adjustments on the ultrasonic time have on the surface morphology, structures, thermal properties, hydrophilicity, water-uptake, bio-enzyme degradability, mechanical properties, and cytocompatibility of the material were examined. It was discovered that as the sonication time increased from 0 to 180 min, the beading phenomenon disappeared, forming nanofibers with uniform diameter and porosity; while the content of β-sheet crystals in the composites and their thermal stability gradually increased, the materials glass transition temperature decreased, and preferred mechanical properties were obtained. Additional studies show that the hydrophilicity, water retention capacity and enzymatic degradation rate were also enhanced by ultrasound, providing a favorable environment for cell attachment and proliferation. This study highlights the experimental and theoretical methods for ultrasound assisted air-jet spinning of biopolymer nanofibrous materials with tunable properties and high biocompatibility, which provide a wide range of applications in wound dressings and drug-carrying systems. This work shows great potential for a direct road to sustainable development of protein based fibers in the industry, thus promoting economic growth, and improving the health of the general population and well-being of wounded patients worldwide.

Abstract
The oral and maxillofacial hard tissues support the maxillofacial shape and serve as the foundation for functional activities. Defects in these tissues not only impair patients’ ability to perform their normal physiological functions but also have a significant negative impact
on their psychological well-being. Moreover, these tissues have a limited capacity for self-healing, necessitating the use of artificial materials to repair defects. Calcium phosphate is a fine-grained inorganic biomineral found in vertebrate teeth and bones that has a comparable composition
to human hard tissues. Calcium phosphate materials are biocompatible, bioactive, and osteogenic for hard tissue repair, despite drawbacks such as poor mechanical qualities, limiting their clinical efficacy and application. With the advancement of materials science and technology, numerous
techniques have been developed to enhance the characteristics of calcium phosphate, and one of them is functionalization. Calcium phosphate can be functionally modified by changing its size, morphology, or composition through various preparation processes to achieve multifunctionality and
improve physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility, and osteogenic potential. The purpose of this review is to provide new ideas for the treatment of oralmaxillofacial hard tissue defects and deficiencies by summarizing the functionalization strategies of calcium phosphate materials
and their applications in dentistry.

Interactive effects of cerium and copper to tune the microstructure of silicocarnotite bioceramics towards enhanced bioactivity and good biosafety. Biomaterials 2022; 288:121751.

Abstract
Endowing biomaterials with functional elements enhances their biological properties effectively. However, improving bioactivity and biosafety simultaneously is still highly desirable. Herein, cerium (Ce) and copper (Cu) are incorporated into silicocarnotite (CPS) to modulate the constitution and microstructure for degradability, bioactivity and biosafety regulation. Our results demonstrated that introducing Ce suppressed scaffold degradation, while, co-incorporation of both Ce and Cu accelerated degradability. Osteogenic effect of CPS in vitro was promoted by Ce and optimized by Cu, and Ce-induced angiogenic inhibition could be mitigated by cell coculture method and reversed by Ce-Cu co-incorporation. Ce enhanced osteogenic and angiogenic properties of CPS in a dose-dependent manner in vivo, and Cu-Ce coexistence exhibited optimal bioactivity and satisfactory biosafety. This work demonstrated that coculture in vitro was more appropriately reflecting the behavior of implanted biomaterials in vivo. Interactive effects of multi-metal elements were promising to enhance bioactivity and biosafety concurrently. The present work provided a promising biomaterial for bone repair and regeneration, and offered a comprehensive strategy to design new biomaterials which aimed at adjustable degradation behavior, and enhanced bioactivity and biosafety.

Abstract
A scaffold is one of the most significant implants for treating bone injury, while the precise control of stem cell proliferation and differentiation within a scaffold is still challenging. In this work, a composite scaffold was designed to be capable of recruiting endogenous stem cells, stimulating osteogenic differentiation and achieving significant bone repair function. The designed SiCP + SF@PFS silica-calcium phosphate composite scaffold was obtained by mixing the peptide PFS containing silk fibroin solution with the SiCP scaffold, and treating with horseradish peroxidase and H2O2. The results showed that the composite scaffold was able to release the PFS peptide continuously to induce the migration of mesenchymal stem cells. Meanwhile, cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were also improved after being seeded on the scaffold. In the cranial defect rat model, the composite scaffold was able to recruit CD29+ and CD90+ cells one week after implantation around the injury sites. The results of Micro-CT, H&E staining, Masson's staining and immunohistochemical staining indicated that the composite scaffold was able to promote new bone formation significantly.

Abstract
Bulk calcium phosphates and silicate-based bioglasses have been extensively studied since the early 1970s due to their unique capacity to bind to host bone, which led to their clinical translation and commercialization in the 1980s. Since the mid-1990s, researchers have synthesized nanoscale calcium phosphate and silicate-based particles of increased specific surface area, chemical reactivity and solubility which offer specific advantages as compared to their bulk counterparts. This review provides a critical perspective on the history and emerging trends of these two classes of ceramic nanoparticles. Their synthesis and functional properties in terms of particle composition, size, shape, charge, dispersion, and toxicity are discussed as a function of relevant processing parameters. Specifically, emerging trends such as the influence of ion doping and mesoporosity on the biological and pharmaceutical performance of these nanoparticles are reviewed in more detail. Finally, a broad comparative overview is provided on the physicochemical properties and applicability of calcium phosphate and silicate-based nanoparticles within the fields of i) local delivery of therapeutic agents, ii) functionalization of biomaterial scaffolds or implant coatings, and iii) bio-imaging applications.
