[PMID: 38531043 PMCID: PMC11005014 DOI: 10.1021/acsbiomaterials.3c01105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
The fabrication of clinically relevant synthetic bone grafts relies on combining multiple biodegradable biomaterials to create a structure that supports the regeneration of defects while delivering osteogenic biomolecules that enhance regeneration. MicroRNA-200c (miR-200c) functions as a potent osteoinductive biomolecule to enhance osteogenic differentiation and bone formation; however, synthetic tissue-engineered bone grafts that sustain the delivery of miR-200c for bone regeneration have not yet been evaluated. In this study, we created novel, multimaterial, synthetic bone grafts from gelatin-coated 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds. We attempted to optimize the release of pDNA encoding miR-200c by varying gelatin types, concentrations, and polymer crosslinking materials to improve its functions for bone regeneration. We revealed that by modulating gelatin type, coating material concentration, and polymer crosslinking, we effectively altered the release rates of pDNA encoding miR-200c, which promoted osteogenic differentiation in vitro and bone regeneration in a critical-sized calvarial bone defect animal model. We also demonstrated that crosslinking the gelatin coatings on the PCL scaffolds with low-concentration glutaraldehyde was biocompatible and increased cell attachment. These results strongly indicate the potential use of gelatin-based systems for pDNA encoding microRNA delivery in gene therapy and further demonstrate the effectiveness of miR-200c for enhancing bone regeneration from synthetic bone grafts.

Computational Insights into the Structural and Functional Impacts of nsSNPs of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:4013729. [PMID: 35832847 PMCID: PMC9273450 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4013729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins) are multipurpose (transforming growth factor)TGF-superfamily released cytokines. These glycoproteins, acting as disulfide-linked homo- or heterodimers, are highly potent regulators of bone and cartilage production and repair, cell proliferation throughout embryonic development, and bone homeostasis in the adults. Due to the fact that genetic variation might influence structural functions, this study is aimed to determine the pathogenic effect of nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in BMP genes. The implications of these variations, investigated using computational analysis and molecular models of the mature TGF-β domain, revealed the impact of modifications on the function of BMP protein. The three-dimensional (3D) structure analysis was performed on the nsSNP Y316S, V386G, E387G, C389G, and C391G nsSNP in the TGF-β domain of chicken BMP2 and H344P, S347P, V357A nsSNP in the TGF-β domain of chicken BMP4 protein that was anticipated to be harmful and of high risk. The ability of the proteins to perform variety of tasks interact with other molecules depends on their tertiary structural composition. The current analysis revealed the four most damaging variants (Y316S, V386G, E387G, C389G, and C391G), highly conserved and functional and are located in the TGF-beta domain of BMP2 and BMP4. The amino acid substitutions E387G, C389G, and C391G are discovered in the binding region. It was observed that the mutations in the TGF-beta domain caused significant changes in its structural organization including the substrate binding sites. Current findings will assist future research focused on the role of these variants in BMP function loss and their role in skeletal disorders, and this will possibly help to develop practical strategies for treating bone-related conditions.

Abstract
Various scaffolding systems have been attempted to facilitate vascularization in tissue engineering by optimizing biophysical properties (e.g., vascular-like structures, porous architectures, surface topographies) or loading biochemical factors (e.g., growth factors, hormones). However, vascularization during ossification remains an unmet challenge that hampers the repair of large bone defects. In this study, reconstructing vascularized bones in situ against critical-sized bone defects is endeavored using newly developed scaffolds made of chemically cross-linked gelatin microsphere aggregates (C-GMSs). The rationale of this design lies in the creation and optimization of cell-material interfaces to enhance focal adhesion, proliferation, and function of anchorage-dependent functional cells. In vitro trials are carried out by coculturing human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) and murine osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) within C-GMS scaffolds, in which endothelialized bone-like constructs are yielded. Angiogenesis and osteogenesis induced by C-GMSs scaffold are further confirmed via subcutaneous-embedding trials in nude mice. In situ trials for the repair of critical-sized femoral defects are subsequently performed in rats. The acellular C-GMSs with interconnected macropores, exhibit the capability to recruit the endogenous cells (e.g., bone-forming cells, vascular forming cells, immunocytes) and then promote vascularized bone regeneration as well as integration with host bone.

Abstract
Gelatin has various attractive features as biomedical materials, for instance, biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, biodegradability, and ease of manipulation. In recent years, various gelatin-based microspheres (GMSs) have been fabricated with innovative technologies to serve as sustained delivery vehicles of drugs and genetic materials as well as beneficial bacteria. Moreover, GMSs have exhibited promising potentials to act as both cell carriers and 3D scaffold components in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, which not only exhibit excellent injectability but also could be integrated into a macroscale construct with the laden cells. Herein, we aim to thoroughly summarize the recent progress in the preparations and biomedical applications of GMSs and then to point out the research direction in future. First, various methods for the fabrication of GMSs will be described. Second, the recent use of GMSs in tumor embolization and in the delivery of cells, drugs, and genetic material as well as bacteria will be presented. Finally, several key factors that may enhance the improvement of GMSs were suggested as delivery vehicles.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of thermosensitive hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC) hydrogel loaded with human platelet lysate (hPL) on skin wound healing in rats. hPLs were generated by freeze-thaw method of platelet-rich plasma from healthy donors. Successful grafting of hydroxybutyl group to chitosan molecular chain to obtain HBC hydrogel was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. HBC/hPL was prepared by combining 10% (vol/vol) hPL with HBC solution. Surface morphologies were determined by Scanning Electron Microscopy, rheological properties were measured by rheometer, and sustained release of factors from HBC/hPL was measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay. We evaluated the in vitro effect of HBC/hPL on human umbilical cord vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, migration, and tube formation. The effect of growth factors released from HBC/hPL in promoting skin wound healing was evaluated by gross observation, histology, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence in vivo. Rheological analyses indicated the gelation temperatures of HBC and HBC/hPL were 17 and 14°C, respectively. ELISA showed sustained release of human platelet-derived growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and transforming growth factor-β1 from HBC/hPL hydrogel. In vitro studies revealed HBC/hPL promoted greater levels of HUVECs proliferation, migration, and tube formation than the HBC and control groups. In vivo studies showed better wound healing, greater amounts of newly formed collagen, as well as neovascular and neo-epidermis markers in the wound site of HBC/hPL-treated group compared to the HBC and control groups. HBC/hPL is a promising potential therapeutic agent for promoting skin wound healing via the sustained release of growth factors.

Abstract
Gelatin, as natural macromolecular material, has been used in biomedical fields widely. In this study, various injectable gelatins A, B, and their compound AB microsphere-based gels (A-GMGs, B-GMGs and AB-GMGs) were prepared through water-in-oil emulsion method for hemostasis, and the effects of blood coagulation in vitro and surgical hemostasis (a deep liver wound model) in vivo were evaluated. Furthermore, the influences of gelatin sorts, the size of microsphere, zeta potential (ZP) and viscoelastic properties on hemostasis were also assessed. Results showed that the gelatin microspheres (GMs) exhibited smooth surface, good sphericity and the particle size of a rough normal distribution. GMs carried negative charges and their electronegativity was stronger than that of gelatin A (GA) and gelatin B (GB) raw materials. Rheological analysis showed that a decreasing particle size of the microspheres led to stronger gel strength, and solid-like gels were exhibited under low stress conditions and liquid-like gels were exhibited under high stress conditions. The blood clotting time of B-GMGs was within 60 s, which exhibited a significantly higher blood clotting effect compared with control groups. The hemostasis assay in vivo showed that the gels had better hemostatic effect on a deep liver wound bleeding model compared with control groups, especially B-GMGs. However, in vivo and vitro hemostatic experiments, particle size of GMs had no obvious influence on the hemostatic effect of the gels. In addition, the CCK-8 assay of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of murine (mMSCs) indicated non-cytotoxicity of GMs for cells. These results demonstrated that the gelatin microsphere-based gels (GMGs) had potential to be an effective hemostatic material for intracavitary and deep wound bleeding in surgery.

Abstract
Controlled release systems have been noted to allow drugs to enhance their ability for bone regeneration. To this end, various biomaterials have been used as the release carriers of drugs, such as low-molecular-weight drugs, growth factors, and others. The drugs are released from the release carriers in a controlled fashion to maintain their actions for a long time period. Most research has been focused on the controlled release of single drugs to demonstrate the therapeutic feasibility. Controlled release of two combined drugs, so-called dual release systems, are promising and important for tissue regeneration. This is because the tissue regeneration process of bone formation is generally achieved by multiple bioactive molecules, which are produced from cells by other molecules. If two types of bioactive molecules, (i.e., drugs), are supplied in an appropriate fashion, the regeneration process of living bodies will be efficiently promoted. This review focuses on the bone regeneration induced by dual-controlled release of drugs. In this paper, various dual-controlled release systems of drugs aiming at bone regeneration are overviewed explaining the type of drugs and their release materials.

Abstract
We have developed a collagen/gelatin sponge (CGS) that can provide a sustained release of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). In our previous study, it was shown that CGS impregnated with the appropriate dosage of bFGF accelerates dermis-like tissue formation two or three times earlier than an existing collagen sponge. In this study, adipogenesis was evaluated using CGSs disseminated with adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs). Human ASCs were primarily isolated from human adipose tissue that was obtained during breast cancer surgery with informed consent at Kyoto University Hospital. ASCs were isolated from collagenase digests of adipose tissue. ASCs were labelled with PKH26. CGSs (8 mm diameter × 3 mm thickness) were impregnated with bFGF (0.1, 1, 7, 14 µg/cm(2) ) or normal saline solution. Then the labelled cells were disseminated (passage 3) on CGSs at a seeding density of 1 × 10(5) cells/cm(2) and implanted into the back subcutis of nude mice. Six weeks after implantation, adipogenesis at the administered site was evaluated. Immunohistological staining with von Willebrand factor (vWf) was performed to evaluate newly formed capillaries. Newly formed adipose tissue was observed macroscopically and histologically in all groups. The weight and area of regenerated adipose tissue were largest in the 1 µg/cm(2) bFGF group. Under a fluorescent microscope, newly formed adipose tissue in the bFGF-administered group was PKH-positive. These findings show that ASCs differentiated and formed adipose tissue. In this study, we showed that our CGSs impregnated with bFGF could be used as scaffolds with ASCs for adipogenesis.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that a collagen sponge incorporating TGF-β1 was effective in inducing bone repair at the skull defect of rabbits. In this study, the bone repairing of rabbit skulls was tried by TGF-β1-incorporated collagen sponges of different thickness to assess the influence of the size of osteoinductive materials on the bone repairing. The collagen sponge used was prepared by foaming and freeze-drying 1 % aqueous solution of pepsin-processed porcine atelo-collagen, followed by dehydrothermal crosslinking for 6 hr in vacua. Collagen sponges with different thickness were prepared by changing the volume of collagen solution for freeze-drying and changing the number of sponges piled up. An aqueous solution of TGF-β1 or 125 I -labeled TGF-β1 was dropped onto the freeze-dried sponge to prepare collagen sponges incorporating TGF-β1 or 125 I -TGF-β1, respectively. Collagen sponges were also radioiodinated with Bolton Hunter Reagent. Following implantation of the collagen sponges incorporating 125 I -TGF-β1 and the 125 I -labeled collagen sponges into the mice subcutis, each radioactivity remaining was measured to compare the time profile of in vivo retention of TGF-β1 with that of the sponge. The TGF-β1 incorporated collagen sponges of different thickness were implanted into full-thickness defects of rabbit skulls with 6 mm in diameter. The bone repairing at the defect was evaluated in terms of histological and DEXA examinations 6 weeks later. The remaining radioactivity of 125 I -labeled collagen sponges and 125 I -labeled TGF-β1 incorporated in collagen sponges decreased with time. The remaining periods of radioactivities of the sponges prolonged with an increase in the sponge thickness, but those of TGF-β1 were independent with the sponge thickness. The collagen sponge with 2 mm thickness was the most effective in increasing the bone mineral density at the bone defect. This finding indicated that the sponge thickness is one of the key factors contributing to successful bone repairing.

Abstract
Repair of bone defects remains a major challenge in orthopaedic surgery. Bone tissue engineering is an attractive approach for treating bone loss in various shapes and amounts. The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate the feasibility of a porous scaffold, which was composed of oligomeric proanthocyanidin crosslinked gelatin mixed with β-tricalcium phosphate (GTP) and was seeded with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) as a bone substitute. GTP scaffolds were made porous using a salt-leaching method. The physicochemical properties of the scaffold were evaluated to determine the optimal salt:composite weight ratio. The results indicated that the GTP scaffold had a favourable macroporous structure and higher porosity when the salt:composite weight ratio was 4:1. Cytotoxic tests demonstrated that extracts from the GTP scaffolds promoted the proliferation of BMSCs. Rat BMSCs were seeded on a GTP scaffold and cultured in a spinner flask. After 2 weeks of culture, scanning electron microscopy observation showed that the cells adhered well to the surfaces of the pores in the scaffold. Moreover, this study explored the biological response of rat calvarial bone to the scaffold to evaluate its potential in bone tissue engineering. Bone defects were filled with BMSC-seeded GTP scaffold and acellular GTP scaffold. After 8 weeks, the scaffold induced new bone formation at a bone defect, as was confirmed by X-ray microradiography and histology. The BMSC-seeded scaffold induced more new bone formation than did an acellular scaffold. These observations suggest that the BMSCs-seeded GTP scaffold can promote the regeneration of defective bone tissue.

Abstract
During the last decade, the use of micro- and nanospheres as functional components for bone tissue regeneration has drawn increasing interest. Scaffolds comprising micro- and nanospheres display several advantages compared with traditional monolithic scaffolds that are related to (i) an improved control over sustained delivery of therapeutic agents, signaling biomolecules and even pluripotent stem cells, (ii) the introduction of spheres as stimulus-sensitive delivery vehicles for triggered release, (iii) the use of spheres to introduce porosity and/or improve the mechanical properties of bulk scaffolds by acting as porogen or reinforcement phase, (iv) the use of spheres as compartmentalized microreactors for dedicated biochemical processes, (v) the use of spheres as cell delivery vehicle, and, finally, (vi) the possibility of preparing injectable and/or moldable formulations to be applied by using minimally invasive surgery. This article focuses on recent developments with regard to the use of micro- and nanospheres for bone regeneration by categorizing micro-/nanospheres by material class (polymers, ceramics, and composites) as well as summarizing the main strategies that employ these spheres to improve the functionality of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a newly emerging biomedical technology and methodology to assist and accelerate the regeneration and repairing of defective and damaged tissues based on the natural healing potentials of patients themselves. For the new therapeutic strategy, it is indispensable to provide cells with a local environment that enhances and regulates their proliferation and differentiation for cell-based tissue regeneration. Biomaterial technology plays an important role in the creation of this cell environment. For example, the biomaterial scaffolds and the drug delivery system (DDS) of biosignalling molecules have been investigated to enhance the proliferation and differentiation of cell potential for tissue regeneration. In addition, the scaffold and DDS technologies contribute to develop the basic research of stem cell biology and medicine as well as obtain a large number of cells with a high quality for cell transplantation therapy. A technology to genetically engineer cells for their functional manipulation is also useful for cell research and therapy. Several examples of tissue engineering applications with the cell scaffold and DDS of growth factors and genes are introduced to emphasize the significance of biomaterial technology in new therapeutic and research fields.

Abstract
The object of this study was to generate cisplatin-conjugated gelatin microspheres (GMSs) and to confirm the subsequent release of cisplatin in vitro. The GMSs (1 mg) were immersed in 50 microl of a cisplatin solution (0.06, 0.15, 0.27, 0.30 or 0.54 mg ml(-1)) at 38 degrees C to allow conjugation. The cisplatin-conjugated GMSs were then extensively washed in double-distilled water and freeze-dried. The platinum concentration in the GMSs samples was investigated as a function of the concentration of cisplatin solution used in their preparation, the number of immersions in cisplatin (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) and the period of immersion (1, 6 or 11 h). In vitro release tests were performed at different time intervals (1, 3, 6, 12 or 24 h) to allow the rate of cisplatin release to be calculated. The platinum concentration of the GMSs increased in proportion to the concentration of cisplatin solution and the length or number of immersions in cisplatin. In vitro release tests demonstrate that the release rate (%) from GMSs after 1, 3, 6, 12 or 24 h was 4.8, 5.5, 7.6, 10.0 and 12.4, respectively. We demonstrated the ability of GMSs to bind cisplatin forming cisplatin-conjugated GMSs. Moreover, we showed that cisplatin continued to bind GMSs strongly during the in vitro release test.

Abstract
AIM In Japan, Gelpart (Nippon Kayaku, Tokyo, Japan) is commercially available as an embolic agent made of gelatin for hepatocellular carcinoma. The object of this study was to develop cisplatin-conjugated Gelpart, confirm its bonding capability and confirm cisplatin-release from it in vitro. METHODS Gelpart (80 mg) were immersed in 50 mL of the cisplatin solution (0.3 mg/mL) at 38 degrees C for 1 hour to allow conjugation to cisplatin. Half of them were washed with double distilled water and centrifuged seven times to remove the uncombined cisplatin from Gelpart. Five mg of washed Gelpart and 5 mg unwashed Gelpart were freeze-dried and the platinum concentrations in these Gelpart were analyzed. In an in vitro release test, 30 mg of each cisplatin-conjugated Gelpart were placed in 10 mL of phosphate buffered salts (PBS) containing 0.01 wt.% Tween 80 and the system was shaken reciprocally at 72 strokes/min at 38 degrees C. At different time intervals (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours), 5 mL of the supernatant was pipetted out and immediately after that the same volume of PBS was added. The platinum concentration of the solutions sampled was measured and the release rate from cisplatin-conjugated Gelpart was calculated. RESULTS The platinum concentrations (microg/g) of unwashed Gelpart and washed Gelpart were, respectively, 9563.5 +/- 101.1 and 6396.5 +/- 14.8. The release rates (%) from unwashed Gelpart and from washed Gelpart were, respectively, 43.1, 56.3, 56.5, 58.5, 60.9 and 5.8, 6.7, 8.5, 11.0, 12.0. CONCLUSION Gelpart had a bonding capability to cisplatin and an ability of sustained release from it. Cisplatin-conjugated Gelpart might become a simple embolic agent with drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the basic characteristics of degradable gelatin microspheres (GMSs), including their embolic behavior and degradation periods when they are used as embolic materials in the renal arteries of rabbit models. Materials and Methods Based on the GMS particle size, 24 kidneys were divided into 3 groups of eight kidneys, and each group was embolized with a different GMS particle size (group 1:35-100 µm, group 2: 100-200 µm, and group 3: 200-300 µm). From each group, two rabbits were sacrificed immediately after embolization (day 0), and a pair of rabbits from each group underwent an angiogram and were sacrificed on days 3, 7, and 14, respectively, after embolization. The level of arterial occlusion, the pathological changes in the renal parenchyma, and the degradation of the GMSs were evaluated angiographically and histologically. Results A follow-up angiogram on days 0, 3, 7, and 14 revealed the presence of wedge-shaped poorly-enhanced areas in the parenchymal phase as seen in all groups. The size of these areas tended to increase with the particle diameter, and persisted up to day 14. On days 3, 7, and 14, parenchymal infarctions were observed histologically in all cases, and this observation corresponded with the parenchyma being supplied by the embolized arteries. GMSs of group 1 mainly reached the interlobular arteries, while those of group 3 mainly reached the interlobar arteries. In all but two cases, the GMSs were identified histologically even on day 14, and sequential degradation was histologically identified in all GMS groups. Conclusion GMSs can be used as degradable embolic materials which can control the level of embolization.

Abstract
The medical therapy of tissue regeneration achieved by biomaterial-based tissue engineering has been currently expected as the third option following reconstructive surgery and organ transplantation. The basic idea of this regenerative therapy is to assist the self-healing potentials of body to induce the natural regeneration and repairing of defective or injured tissue. To this end, it is practically important to create a local environment which enables cells to promote their proliferation and differentiation, resulting in the induction of cell-based tissue regeneration. Tissue engineering is a biomedical technology or methodology to build up this regeneration environment by making use of biomaterials. Drug delivery system (DDS) is a biomaterial technology to enhance the in vivo biological functions of bio-signaling molecules (growth factors and genes) for promoted tissue regeneration. This paper overviews the recent status of tissue regeneration therapy based on the DDS technology of bio-signaling molecules.

Abstract
PURPOSE The object of this study was to assess the level of embolization in the embolized artery and the degradation period of these two embolic agents in the renal arteries using rabbit models. MATERIALS AND METHODS The renal artery was embolized using 5 mg of gelatin microspheres (GMSs; diameter, 35-100 mum; group 1) or 1 mg of Gelpart (diameter, 1 mm; group 2). For each group, angiographies were performed on two kidneys immediately after the embolic procedure and on days 3, 7, and 14 after embolization. This was followed by histopathological examinations of the kidneys. RESULTS Follow-up angiograms on each day revealed the persistence of poorly enhanced wedge-shaped areas in the parenchymal phase in all cases. In group 1, four of six cases showed poorly enhanced small areas in the follow-up angiograms. In group 2, all cases showed poorly enhanced large areas. In the histopathological specimens, it was observed that immediately after embolization, the particles reached the interlobular arteries in group 1 and the interlobar arteries in group 2. In all cases in group 1, the particles were histologically identified even on day 14. In one case in group 2 on day 14, the particles were not identified. CONCLUSION In conclusion, although GMSs and Gelpart were similar in the point of gelatin particles, the level of embolization and the degradation period were different between GMSs and Gelpart.

Abstract
Currently, available synthetic bone substitutes have adequate osteoconductive properties but have little or no osteoinductivity. Recent research has focused on using osteogenic growth factors or cells to provide this. JAX is a beta tricalcium phosphate bone graft substitute that has a novel shape and interlocking design. This study investigated delivery methods and the use of autologous cell therapy to enhance healing of a bone defect using JAX as a scaffold. Bone marrow was harvested from 24 New Zealand White rabbits. The mononuclear cell fraction was isolated and culture expanded. Bilateral 1.5 cm defects in the ulna were filled with: Group 1: JAX alone, Group 2: JAX plus 1x10(7) autologous BMSCs injected at the time of surgery, Group 3: JAX plus 8x10(6) autologous BMSCs cultured on granules for 14 days prior to surgery, Group 4: JAX plus fresh bone marrow (BMA), Group 5: cortical autograft, Group 6: JAX plus 2.5 microg VEGF. Radiographs demonstrated that there was more new bone in the BMA and VEGF groups compared to JAX alone. Groups containing autologous BMSCs were only slightly better than JAX alone in the amount of bone in the defect but did improve bridging of the osteotomy. Histomorphometry identified a significant increase in bone volume in the BMA group compared to JAX alone. BMA and VEGF enhanced healing of bone defects whereas expanded BMSCs provided little advantage over scaffold alone. There was no difference between delivery methods of autologous BMSCs. These observations suggest that the provision of osteogenic cells alone is insufficient to enhance bone healing and that additional factors are required to initiate this process in vivo.

Abstract
Recent development of biomedical engineering including biomaterials and drug delivery system (DDS) as well as basic biology and medicine has enabled cells to induce regeneration repairing of defective tissues as well as substitute the biological functions of damaged organs. For successful tissue regeneration, it is undoubtedly indispensable to give cells a local environment which allows cells to efficiently promote their proliferation and differentiation and consequently induce cell-based tissue regeneration. Tissue engineering is one of the biomedical forms to create this regeneration environment of cells. The tissue and organ repairing based on their regeneration induction has been realized by combining cells with the tissue engineering technology or methodology in a surgical or internally medical manner. This paper overviews the present status and future direction of tissue engineering for regenerative inductive therapy, briefly explaining the key technology of tissue engineering, especially DDS of growth factor and gene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta is a potent multifunctional polypeptide, abundant in the bone matrix. Interleukin (IL)-11 is a pleiotropic cytokine with effects on multiple cell types. The present study was performed to evaluate the regulatory effects of TGF-beta on IL-11 production by human periodontal ligament cells (PDL) and human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). MATERIAL AND METHODS The expression of TGF-beta receptor in PDL and HGF were observed using flow cytometry. PDL and HGF were stimulated with TGF-beta with or without protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors and activator. IL-11, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and TGF-beta mRNA expression was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). IL-11 production was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS PDL and HGF expressed both TGF-beta receptor I and TGF-beta receptor II on the cell surfaces. IL-11 mRNA expression and IL-11 production were augmented by TGF-beta in both PDL and HGF, with higher values in PDL. PKC inhibitors partially suppressed TGF-beta-induced IL-11 production in PDL and HGF, whereas activator enhanced it. TGF-beta mRNA and BMP-2 mRNA expression were up-regulated by TGF-beta in PDL. CONCLUSION These results suggest that PDL produce IL-11 in response to TGF-beta.

Abstract
Regenerative medical therapy has been expected to compensate for the therapeutic disadvantages of reconstructive surgery and organ transplantation, as well as offering a new therapeutic strategy. The objective of regenerative medical therapy is to induce the repair of defective tissues based on the natural healing potential of patients. For successful tissue regeneration, it is indispensable to provide cells with a local environment of artificial extracellular matrix where they can proliferate and differentiate efficiently. Tissue engineering is the key to this regeneration environment; release technology often enhances the in vivo stability of growth factors and related genes and prolongs the maintenance of biological functions for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether sustained release of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 from a gelatin hydrogel would enhance bone regeneration in critical-sized long-bone defects and overcome inhibitory effects of preoperative irradiation. ANIMALS 24 adult New Zealand White rabbits. PROCEDURE Rabbits were allocated to 2 groups. Twelve rabbits received localized megavoltage radiation to the right ulna by use of a cobalt 60 teletherapy unit, and 12 rabbits received no irradiation. Then, a 1.5-cm defect was aseptically created in the right ulna of each rabbit. Gelatin hydrogel that contained 5 microg of adsorbed recombinant-human (rh)TGF-beta1 was placed in the defect of 12 rabbits (6 irradiated and 6 nonirradiated), and the other 12 rabbits received hydrogel without rhTGF-beta1. Rabbits were euthanatized 10 weeks after surgery. New bone formation within the defect was analyzed by use of nondecalcified histomorphometric methods. A 1-way ANOVA was used to compare differences among groups. RESULTS New bone formation within the defect was significantly greater in TGF-beta1-treated rabbits than in rabbits treated with hydrogel carrier alone. Local delivery of rhTGF-beta1 via a hydrogel carrier in irradiated defects resulted in amounts of bone formation similar to those for nonirradiated defects treated by use of rhTGF-beta1. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Local delivery of TGF-beta1 by use of a hydrogel carrier appears to have therapeutic potential for enhancing bone formation in animals after radiation treatments. IMPACT FOR HUMAN MEDICINE This technique may be of value for treating human patients at risk for delayed bone healing because of prior radiation therapy.

Abstract
Recent development of biomedical engineering as well as basic biology and medicine has enabled us to induce cell-based regeneration of body tissue to self-repair defective tissue or substitute biological functions of damaged organs. For successful tissue regeneration, it is indispensable to give cells an environment suitable for regeneration induction. Tissue engineering is a newly emerging biomedical technology for creating an environment for tissue regeneration with various biomaterials.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is an emerging biomedical field intended to assist the regeneration of body tissue defects too large to self-repair as well as to substitute for the biological functions of damaged and injured organs by using cells with proliferative and differentiative potential. In addition to basic research on such cells, it is undoubtedly indispensable for successful tissue engineering to create an artificial environment enabling cells to induce tissue regeneration. Such an environment can be achieved by making use of a scaffold for cell proliferation and differentiation and for growth factors, as well as their combination. Growth factors are often required to promote tissue regeneration, as they can induce angiogenesis, which supplies oxygen and nutrients to cells transplanted for organ substitution to maintain their biological functions. However, the biological effects of growth factors cannot always be expected because of their poor in vivo stability, unless a drug delivery system is contrived. In this article, tissue regeneration based on the release of growth factors is reviewed to emphasize the significance of drug delivery systems in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Controlled regeneration of bone or cartilage has recently begun to facilitate a host of novel clinical treatments. An osteoblast line, which we isolated is able to form new bone matrix in vivo within 2 days and exhibits a mature osteoblast phenotype both in vitro and in vivo. Using these cells, we show that cuboidal bones can be generated into a predesigned shaped-bone with high-density bone trabeculae when used in combination with a modified poly-DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-collagen sponge. PLGA coated with collagen gel serves as a good scaffold for osteoblasts. These results indicate that mature osteoblasts, in combination with a scaffold such as PLGA-collagen sponge, show promise for use in a custom-shaped bone regeneration tool for both basic research into osteogenesis and for development of therapeutic applications.
