Abstract
Previous research has found that octacalcium phosphate (OCP) increases macrophage accumulation and alters the initial inflammatory response. However, the role of the immune response induced by OCP in osteogenesis remains unknown. This study investigated the behavior of macrophages and bone regeneration capacity during the early inflammatory stage of OCP-mediated osteogenesis. To assess the change in macrophage polarization and osteogenic capacity, we used a standardized rat defect model filled with OCP or calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA)-a material obtained through the hydrolysis of the original OCP. OCP or CDHA granules were incubated with RAW264 cells for 5 days to investigate the effect of physicochemical characteristics on macrophage cytokine/chemokine expression in vitro. Our in vivo results show that due to the OCP implantation, macrophages in the rat tibial defect area tend to polarize to the M2 phenotype (anti-inflammatory) and inhibit the formation of the M1 phenotype (pro-inflammatory). In comparison to CDHA, OCP exhibited superior bone regeneration potential due to its rapid promotion of cortical bone healing and stimulation of macrophage-related growth factors. Furthermore, our in vitro results have shown that OCP regulates the expression of macrophage chemokines over time. Compared to incubation with CDHA, incubation with OCP caused changes in the ionic microenvironment. These findings suggest that the OCP-mediated macrophage polarization and secretion profile not only regulate immune function but also positively affect osteogenesis.

Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) has received considerable attention in the field of ceramic biomaterials as an advanced functional material. It exhibits a layered structure composed of apatitic and hydrated layers and can incorporate various dicarboxylate ions into the hydrated layer. Saturated dicarboxylic acids (HOOC(CH2)nCOOH) with an odd number of methylene groups (-CH2-) exhibit lower incorporation fractions than those with an even number of methylene groups, possibly owing to a compositional dependence on the synthetic method. In this study, calcium carbonate, phosphoric acid, and various amounts of glutaric acid were used to produce glutarate-ion-incorporated OCP by a wet chemical method, which is different from the conventional synthetic strategy. While utilising 1-20 mmol of glutaric acid during synthesis did not produce the desired product, using 25 mmol of glutaric acid resulted in the formation of single-phase glutarate-ion-incorporated OCP with a Ca/P molar ratio of 1.57 and a 90% incorporation fraction of glutarate ions. This glutarate-ion-incorporation fraction is significantly higher than that reported in the previous studies (35%). Thus, the synthetic procedure proposed herein was able to produce single-phase OCP containing glutarate ions with a high incorporation fraction. Our findings can contribute to development of novel functional ceramic biomaterials in the future.

Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) belongs to a family of calcium phosphate compounds. OCP has unique crystal-chemical properties; among calcium phosphate compounds, only OCP can incorporate carboxylate ions into its crystal lattice. An OCP with incorporated carboxylate ions is called an OCP carboxylate (OCPC). OCPCs are investigated for applications in novel adsorbents, electrochemical devices, and biomaterials. Several wet methods are available for the synthesis of OCPCs, and the characteristics and advantages of each method are explained. Representative characterization methods, i.e. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, used for the detection of carboxylate ion incorporation into the OCP interlayers are explained. Various carboxylic acids can be incorporated into OCP, and these types of carboxylic acid are presented with reference to the latest research results. The incorporation of carboxylate ions into OCP represents a modification of the OCP crystal at the molecular level and can impart various functions. Challenging physicochemical and biomaterial applications of OCPCs are thus introduced, although they are still in the research phase. Finally, future perspectives and challenges for OCPC research are described.
