Abstract
Bone is a hard-connective tissue composed of matrix, cells and bioactive factors with a hierarchical structure, where the matrix is mainly composed of type I collagen and hydroxyapatite. Collagen fibers assembled by collagen are the template for mineralization and make an important contribution to bone formation and the bone remodeling process. Therefore, collagen has been widely clinically used for bone/cartilage defect regeneration. However, pure collagen implants, such as collagen scaffolds or sponges, have limitations in the bone/cartilage regeneration process due to their poor mechanical properties and osteoinductivity. Different forms of collagen-based composites prepared by incorporating natural/artificial polymers or bioactive inorganic substances are characterized by their interconnected porous structure and promoting cell adhesion, while they improve the mechanical strength, structural stability and osteogenic activities of the collagen matrix. In this review, various forms of collagen-based biocomposites, such as scaffolds, sponges, microspheres/nanoparticles, films and microfibers/nanofibers prepared by natural/synthetic polymers, bioactive ceramics and carbon-based materials compounded with collagen are reviewed. In addition, the application of collagen-based biocomposites as cytokine, cell or drug (genes, proteins, peptides and chemosynthetic) delivery platforms for proangiogenesis and bone/cartilage tissue regeneration is also discussed. Finally, the potential application, research and development direction of collagen-based biocomposites in future bone/cartilage tissue regeneration are discussed.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with low dose bone morphogenetic protein 2 enhances scaffold-based spinal fusion in a porcine model. J Tissue Eng Regen Med 2021; 16:63-75. [PMID: 34687157 DOI: 10.1002/term.3260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
High doses bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) have resulted in a series of complications in spinal fusion. We previously established a polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) carrier system that reduces the therapeutic dose of BMP-2 in both rodent and porcine spinal fusion models. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and low dose BMP-2 delivered by PEC for bone regeneration in a porcine model of anterior lumbar interbody spinal fusion (ALIF) application. Six Yorkshire pigs underwent a tri-segmental (L2/L3; L3/L4; L4/L5) ALIF in four groups, namely: (a) BMSCs + 25 μg BMP-2/PEC (n = 9), (b) 25 μg BMP-2/PEC (n = 3), (c) BMSCs (n = 3), and (d) 50 μg BMP-2/absorbable collagen sponge (n = 3). Fusion outcomes were evaluated by radiography, biomechanical testing, and histological analysis after 12 weeks. Mean radiographic scores at 12 weeks were 2.7, 2.0, 1.0, and 1.0 for Groups 1 to 4, respectively. μ-CT scanning, biomechanical evaluation, and histological analysis demonstrated solid fusion and successful bone regeneration in Group 1. In contrast, Group 2 showed inferior quality and slow rate of fusion, and Groups 3 and 4 failed to fuse any of the interbody spaces. There was no obvious evidence of seroma formation, implant rejection, or any other complications in all groups. The results suggest that the combination of BMSCs and low dose BMP-2/PEC could further lower down the effective dose of the BMP-2 and be used as a bone graft substitute in the large animal ALIF model.

Mechanical Properties of Human Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) Membrane and the CGF Graft with Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) onto Periosteum of the Skull of Nude Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:11331. [PMID: 34768759 PMCID: PMC8582862 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222111331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Concentrated growth factor (CGF) is 100% blood-derived, cross-linked fibrin glue with platelets and growth factors. Human CGF clot is transformed into membrane by a compression device, which has been widely used clinically. However, the mechanical properties of the CGF membranes have not been well characterized. The aims of this study were to measure the tensile strength of human CGF membrane and observe its behavior as a scaffold of BMP-2 in ectopic site over the skull. The tensile test of the full length was performed at the speed of 2mm/min. The CGF membrane (5 × 5 × 2 mm3) or the CGF/BMP-2 (1.0 μg) membrane was grafted onto the skull periosteum of nude mice (5-week-old, male), and harvested at 14 days after the graft. The appearance and size of the CGF membranes were almost same for 7 days by soaking at 4 °C in saline. The average values of the tensile strength at 0 day and 7 days were 0.24 MPa and 0.26 MPa, respectively. No significant differences of both the tensile strength and the elastic modulus were found among 0, 1, 3, and 7 days. Supra-periosteal bone induction was found at 14 days in the CGF/BMP-2, while the CGF alone did not induce bone. These results demonstrated that human CGF membrane could become a short-term, sticky fibrin scaffold for BMP-2, and might be preserved as auto-membranes for wound protection after the surgery.

Abstract
In the last decades, the treatment of primary and secondary bone tumors has faced a slow-down in its development, being mainly based on chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical interventions. However, these conventional therapeutic strategies present a series of disadvantages (e.g., multidrug resistance, tumor recurrence, severe side effects, formation of large bone defects), which limit their application and efficacy. In recent years, these procedures were combined with several adjuvant therapies, with different degrees of success. To overcome the drawbacks of current therapies and improve treatment outcomes, other strategies started being investigated, like carrier-mediated drug delivery, bone substitutes for repairing bone defects, and multifunctional scaffolds with bone tissue regeneration and antitumor properties. Thus, this paper aims to present the types of bone tumors and their current treatment approaches, further focusing on the recent advances in new therapeutic alternatives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is the growth factor with the most striking osteoinductive performance in orthopedic operations; it is also able to induce heterotopic bone formation. However, there has been little clinical research on Escherichia coli-derived BMP-2 (E.BMP-2). PURPOSE To confirm the efficacy and safety of E.BMP-2 with a hydroxyapatite carrier when applied to one-sided posterolateral fusion (PLF) in addition to lumbar interbody fusion (LIF), and to measure the lower dose of E.BMP-2 ever reported achieving solid fusion. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Retrospective case-control study PATIENT SAMPLE: A total of 121 patients who received surgery for one or two levels of fusion for lumbar degenerative spinal stenosis or spondylolisthesis from January 2009 to December 2019 were included. OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical and functional outcomes were evaluated using preoperative and final follow-up visual analogue scales for back pain (VAS-BP) and leg pain (VAS-LP), and Korean Oswestry disability index (K-ODI) scores. Fusion rates were evaluated by computed tomography at six months and one year after surgery. In addition, a subgroup analysis of group E according to number of fusion levels was conducted, and the fusion rates in the one-level and two-level fusion groups were compared. METHODS LIF and additional one-sided PLF was performed in all patients. They received autogenous iliac bone grafts (Group C, n=69) or 1mg of E.BMP-2 (Group E, n=52). RESULTS There were no significant differences between preoperative and final VAS-BP, VAS-LP and K-ODI. The PLF rate was 79.7% for Group C and 82.7% for Group E at postoperative six months, and 94.2% for Group C and 100% for Group E at postoperative one year (p =.679, 0.134, respectively). The LIF rate was 71.0% in Group C and 71.2% in Group E at six months after surgery, and 97.1% in Group C and 100% in Group E at one year (p =.987, 0.506, respectively). In terms of numbers of fusion levels in Group E, PLF rates at six months (p =.486) and one year after surgery were similar in the two groups, as were LIF rates at six months (p =.822) and one year after surgery. There were no cases of malignancy or radiculopathy in Group E during one-year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS One milligram of E.BMP-2 is a safe and effective osteoinductive material in short-level lumbar PLF surgery.

Abstract
Porous scaffolds are widely used in biomedical applications where pore size and morphology influence a range of biological processes, including mass transfer of solutes, cellular interactions and organization, immune responses, and tissue vascularization, as well as drug delivery from biomaterials. Ice templating, one of the most widely utilized techniques for the fabrication of porous materials, allows control over pore morphology by controlling ice formation in a suspension of solutes. By fine-tuning freezing and solute parameters, ice templating can be used to incorporate pores with tunable morphological features into a wide range of materials using a simple, accessible, and scalable process. While soft matter is widely ice templated for biomedical applications and includes commercial and clinical products, the principles underpinning its ice templating are not reviewed as well as their inorganic counterparts. This review describes and critically evaluates fundamental principles, fabrication and characterization approaches, and biomedical applications of ice templating in polymer-based biomaterials. It describes the utility of porous scaffolds in biomedical applications, highlighting biological mechanisms impacted by pore features, outlines the physical and thermodynamic mechanisms underpinning ice templating, describes common fabrication setups, critically evaluates complexities of ice templating specific to polymers, and discusses future directions in this field.

Abstract
The unique properties of self-healing materials hold great potential in the field of biomedical engineering. Although previous studies have focused on the design and synthesis of self-healing materials, their application in in vivo settings remains limited. Here, we design a series of biodegradable and biocompatible self-healing elastomers (SHEs) with tunable mechanical properties, and apply them to various disease models in vivo, in order to test their reparative potential in multiple tissues and at physiological conditions. We validate the effectiveness of SHEs as promising therapies for aortic aneurysm, nerve coaptation and bone immobilization in three animal models. The data presented here support the translation potential of SHEs in diverse settings, and pave the way for the development of self-healing materials in clinical contexts.

Abstract
The failure to repair critical-sized bone defects often leads to incomplete regeneration or fracture non-union. Tissue-engineered grafts have been recognized as an alternative strategy for bone regeneration due to their potential to repair defects. To design a successful tissue-engineered graft requires the understanding of physicochemical optimization to mimic the composition and structure of native bone, as well as the biological strategies of mimicking the key biological elements during bone regeneration process. This review provides an overview of engineered graft-based strategies focusing on physicochemical properties of materials and graft structure optimization from macroscale to nanoscale to further boost bone regeneration, and it summarizes biological strategies which mainly focus on growth factors following bone regeneration pattern and stem cell-based strategies for more efficient repair. Finally, it discusses the current limitations of existing strategies upon bone repair and highlights a promising strategy for rapid bone regeneration.

Abstract
Edible materials have attracted increasing attention because of their excellent properties including availability, biocompatibility, biological activity, and biodegradability. Natural polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and proteins are widely used in tissue regeneration. To better characterize their healing effect, this review article describes the applications of edible materials in tissue regeneration including wound healing and bone tissue regeneration. As an introduction to the topic, their sources and main bioactive properties are discussed. Then, the mechanism by which they facilitate wound healing based on their hemostasis, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties is systematically investigated. Moreover, a more comprehensive discussion is presented on the approaches by which edible materials can be used as scaffolds or agents for the provision of the components of natural bones for regulating the level of osteogenesis-related cytokines to enhance bone repair. Finally, the prospects of edible materials for tissue regeneration are discussed.

Critical-sized bone defects are critical healing conditions that, if left untreated, often lead to non-unions. To reduce the risk, critical-sized bone defects are often treated with recombinant human BMP-2. Although enhanced bone tissue formation is observed when BMP-2 is administered locally to the defect, spatial and temporal distribution of callus tissue often differs from that found during regular bone healing or in defects treated differently. How this altered tissue patterning due to BMP-2 treatment is linked to mechano-biological principles at the cellular scale remains largely unknown. In this study, the mechano-biological regulation of BMP-2-treated critical-sized bone defect healing was investigated using a multiphysics multiscale in silico approach. Finite element and agent-based modeling techniques were combined to simulate healing within a critical-sized bone defect (5 mm) in a rat femur. Computer model predictions were compared to in vivo microCT data outcome of bone tissue patterning at 2, 4, and 6 weeks postoperation. In vivo, BMP-2 treatment led to complete healing through periosteal bone bridging already after 2 weeks postoperation. Computer model simulations showed that the BMP-2 specific tissue patterning can be explained by the migration of mesenchymal stromal cells to regions with a specific concentration of BMP-2 (chemotaxis). This study shows how computational modeling can help us to further understand the mechanisms behind treatment effects on compromised healing conditions as well as to optimize future treatment strategies.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP21) is a highly interesting therapeutic growth factor due to its strong osteogenic/osteoinductive potential. However, its pronounced aggregation tendency renders recombinant and soluble production troublesome and complex. While prokaryotic expression systems can provide BMP2 in large amounts, the typically insoluble protein requires complex denaturation-renaturation procedures with medically hazardous reagents to obtain natively folded homodimeric BMP2. Based on a detailed aggregation analysis of wildtype BMP2, we designed a hydrophilic variant of BMP2 additionally containing an improved heparin binding site (BMP2-2Hep-7M). Consecutive optimization of BMP2-2Hep-7M expression and purification enabled production of soluble dimeric BMP2-2Hep-7M in high yield in E. coli. This was achieved by a) increasing protein hydrophilicity via introducing seven point mutations within aggregation hot spots of wildtype BMP2 and a longer N-terminus resulting in higher affinity for heparin, b) by employing E. coli strain SHuffle® T7, which enables the structurally essential disulfide-bond formation in BMP2 in the cytoplasm, c) by using BMP2 variant characteristic soluble expression conditions and application of l-arginine as solubility enhancer. The BMP2 variant BMP2-2Hep-7M shows strongly attenuated although not completely eliminated aggregation tendency.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the correlation between the content of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) in demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and its osteogenic activity in vitro and in vivo, in order to choose a simple and convenient method to evaluate the osteogenic activity of DBM. Methods The left mid-femoral tissues of 9 donors were taken, and DBMs (S1-S9) were prepared by dynamic decalcification process, and inactivated DBM (control group) was prepared at the same time. Protease inhibitor method, collagenase method, guanidine hydrochloride/ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) method, and RIPA lysate method were used to extract BMP-2 in S1-S9 and inactivated DBMs. The BMP-2 content was measured and the differences between DBMs were compared. Then the S1-S9 and inactivated DBMs were co-cultured with mouse embryonic osteoblasts MC3T3-E1, respectively. The cell proliferation was detected by MTT method and fluorescence staining, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was detected at the same time. Thirty BALB/c male nude mice were divided into 10 groups, namely S1-S9 DBM groups (S1-S9 groups) and inactivated DBM group (control group), with 3 mice in each group. Muscle pockets of the middle thighs were prepared on both hindlimbs of mice in each group, and implanted corresponding DBM materials. At 4 weeks after operation, the samples were taken for HE staining observation and semi-quantitative evaluation, and the new bone formation score was calculated. Results The BMP-2 content of DBM derived from different donor bones was distinct. The BMP-2 content obtained by different extraction methods for DBM prepared from the same donor bone was also different, and the extraction efficiency of the guanidine hydrochloride/EDTA method was the highest. In vitro cell experiments, MTT test displayed that cell proliferations and ALP activity were significantly higher in S4 and S6 groups than in other groups at each time point after co-cultivation ( P<0.05). Moreover, the cell proliferation of S4 group was the most significant at 7 days ( P<0.05); fluorescence staining demonstrated that the osteoblasts of each group was in good condition, but the osteoblasts of S1, S2, S3, S4, and S6 groups were significantly more than other groups. In vivo ectopic osteogenesis experiments, the cartilage and new bone formation could be seen in the bone graft area of S1-S6 groups at 4 weeks after operation, and with the increase of BMP-2 content, the more new bone formation induced by the material, the higher the score of new bone formation of the material ( P<0.05). Among them, S4 and S6 groups contained a large number of chondrocytes and osteoblasts in the osteogenesis area. Conclusion The osteogenic activity of DBM can be evaluated through BMP-2 quantitative detection combined with in vitro osteoblast proliferation and differentiation experiments.

Abstract
Background: The biological factors involved in dental implant osseointegration need to be investigated to improve implant success. Methods: Twenty-four implants were inserted into the tibias of six minipigs. Bone samples were obtained at 7, 14, and 56 days. Biomolecular analyses evaluated mRNA of BMP-4, -7, Transforming Growth Factor-β2, Interleukin-1β, and Osteocalcin in sites treated with rhBMP-7, Type 1 Collagen, or Fibronectin (FN). Inflammation and osteogenesis were evaluated by histological analyses. Results: At 7 and 14 days, BMP-4 and BMP-7 increased in the sites prepared with rhBMP-7 and FN. BMP-7 remained greater at 56 days in rhBMP-7 and FN sites. BPM-4 at 7 and 14 days increased in Type 1 Collagen sites; BMP-7 increased from day 14. FN increased the TGF-β2 at all experimental times, whilst the rhBMP-7 only did so up to 7 days. IL-1β increased only in collagen-treated sites from 14 days. Osteocalcin was high in FN-treated sites. Neutrophilic granulocytes characterized the inflammatory infiltrate at 7 days, and mononuclear cells at 14 and 56 days. Conclusions: This initial pilot study, in a novel way, evidenced that Type 1 Collagen induced inflammation and did not stimulate bone production; conversely FN or rhBMP-7 showed neo-osteogenetic and anti-inflammatory properties when directly added into implant bone site.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is becoming a rapidly evolving technique in today's biomedical progress scenario. Scientists around the world suggest the use of naturally synthesized biomaterials to repair and heal damaged cells. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) has the potential to replace drugs in biomedical engineering and regenerative drugs. HAp is easily biodegradable, biocompatible, and correlated with macromolecules, which facilitates their incorporation into inorganic materials. This review article provides extensive knowledge on HAp and collagen-containing compositions modified with drugs, bioactive components, metals, and selected nanoparticles. Such compositions consisting of HAp and collagen modified with various additives are used in a variety of biomedical applications such as bone tissue engineering, vascular transplantation, cartilage, and other implantable biomedical devices.

Abstract
In modern days, there is an increasing relevance of and demand for flexible and biocompatible sensors for in-vivo and epidermal applications. One promising strategy is the implementation of biological (natural) polymers, which offer new opportunities for flexible biosensor devices due to their high biocompatibility and adjustable biodegradability. As a proof-of-concept experiment, a biosensor was fabricated by combining thin- (for Pt working- and counter electrode) and thick-film (for Ag/AgCl quasi-reference electrode) technologies: The biosensor consists of a fully bio-based and biodegradable fibroin substrate derived from silk fibroin of the silkworm Bombyx mori combined with immobilized enzyme glucose oxidase. The flexible glucose biosensor is encapsulated by a biocompatible silicon rubber which is certificated for a safe use onto human skin. Characterization of the sensor set-up is exemplarily demonstrated by glucose measurements in buffer and Ringer's solution, while the stability of the quasi-reference electrode has been investigated versus a commercial Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Repeated bending studies validated the mechanical properties of the electrode structures. The cross-sensitivity of the biosensor against ascorbic acid, noradrenaline and adrenaline was investigated, too. Additionally, biocompatibility and degradation tests of the silk fibroin with and without thin-film platinum electrodes were carried out.

Abstract
New materials are required for bone healing in regenerative medicine able to temporarily substitute damaged bone and to be subsequently resorbed and replaced by endogenous tissues. Taking inspiration from basic composition of the mammalian bones, composed of collagen, apatite and a number of substitution ions, among them magnesium (Mg2+), in this work, novel composite scaffolds composed of collagen(10%)-hydroxyapatite (HAp)(90%) and collagen(10%)-HAp(80%)-Mg(10%) were developed. The lyophilization was used for composites preparation. An insight into the nanostructural nature of the developed scaffolds was performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-Ray and Transmission Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-Ray. The HAp nanocrystallite clusters and Mg nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed within the scaffolds and adherent to the collagen fibrils. The samples were tested for degradation in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) solution by soaking for up to 28 days. The release of Mg from collagen(10%)-HAp(80%)-Mg(10%) composite during the period of up to 21 days was attested, this composite being characterized by a decreased degradation rate with respect to the composite without Mg. The developed composite materials are promising for applications as bone substitute materials favouring bone healing and regeneration. Lyophilization process was used to obtain new composite scaffolds. Collagen(10%)-HAp(90%) and collagen(10%)-HAp(80%)-Mg(10%) scaffolds were developed. HAp nanocrystallites and Mg nanoparticles are embedded into collagen fibrils. Degradation in SBF attested the Mg release from composite during up to 21 days. Composite collagen(10%)-HAp(80%)-Mg(10%) scaffold can be applied as bone substitute.

Abstract
Collagen hydrogels are among the most well-studied platforms for drug delivery and in situ tissue engineering, thanks to their low cost, low immunogenicity, versatility, biocompatibility, and similarity to the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). Despite collagen being largely responsible for the tensile properties of native connective tissues, collagen hydrogels have relatively low mechanical properties in the absence of covalent cross-linking. This is particularly problematic when attempting to regenerate stiffer and stronger native tissues such as bone. Furthermore, in contrast to hydrogels based on ECM proteins such as fibronectin, collagen hydrogels do not have any growth factor (GF)-specific binding sites and often cannot sequester physiological (small) amounts of the protein. GF binding and in situ presentation are properties that can aid significantly in the tissue regeneration process by dictating cell fate without causing adverse effects such as malignant tumorigenic tissue growth. To alleviate these issues, researchers have developed several strategies to increase the mechanical properties of collagen hydrogels using physical or chemical modifications. This can expand the applicability of collagen hydrogels to tissues subject to a continuous load. GF delivery has also been explored, mathematically and experimentally, through the development of direct loading, chemical cross-linking, electrostatic interaction, and other carrier systems. This comprehensive article explores the ways in which these parameters, mechanical properties and GF delivery, have been optimized in collagen hydrogel systems and examines their in vitro or in vivo biological effect. This article can, therefore, be a useful tool to streamline future studies in the field, by pointing researchers into the appropriate direction according to their collagen hydrogel design requirements.

Abstract
Cell culture media influence the characteristics of human osteogenic periosteal sheets. We have previously found that a stem cell medium facilitates growth and collagen matrix formation in vitro and osteogenesis in vivo. However, it has not yet been demonstrated which culture medium is superior for osteoclastogenesis, a prerequisite for reconstruction of normal bone metabolic basis. To address this question, we compared chemotaxis and osteoclastogenesis in tissue-engineered periosteal sheets (TPSs) prepared with two types of culture media. Periosteal tissues obtained from adult volunteers were expanded with the conventional Medium 199 or with the stem cell medium, MesenPRO. Hematopoietic enhanced-green-fluorescent-protein (EGFP)-nude mice were prepared by γ-irradiation of Balb/c nu/nu mice and subsequent transplantation of bone marrow cells from CAG-EGFP C57BL/6 mice. TPSs were implanted subcutaneously into the chimeric mice and retrieved after intervals for immunohistopathological examination. EGFP+ cells were similarly recruited to the implantation site in both the TPSs prepared, whereas the distribution of CD11b+ cells was significantly lower in the TPS prepared with the stem cell medium. Instead, osteoclastogenesis was higher in the TPS prepared with the stem cell medium than in the one prepared with the conventional medium. These findings suggest that the stem cell medium is preferable for the preparation of more functional TPSs.

Collagen type I is the main organic constituent of the bone extracellular matrix and has been used for decades as scaffolding material in bone tissue engineering approaches when autografts are not feasible. Polymeric collagen can be easily isolated from various animal sources and can be processed in a great number of ways to manufacture biomaterials in the form of sponges, particles, or hydrogels, among others, for different applications. Despite its great biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, collagen type I also has some drawbacks, such as its high biodegradability, low mechanical strength, and lack of osteoinductive activity. Therefore, many attempts have been made to improve the collagen type I-based implants for bone tissue engineering. This review aims to summarize the current status of collagen type I as a biomaterial for bone tissue engineering, as well as to highlight some of the main efforts that have been made recently towards designing and producing collagen implants to improve bone regeneration.

Silencing Smad7 potentiates BMP2-induced chondrogenic differentiation and inhibits endochondral ossification in human synovial-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. Stem Cell Res Ther 2021; 12:132. [PMID: 33588941 PMCID: PMC7885459 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-021-02202-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is a promising chondrogenic growth factor for cartilage tissue-engineering, but it also induces robust endochondral ossification. Human synovial-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hSMSCs) have attracted great interest due to their poor potential for differentiation into osteogenic lineages. Smad7 plays a significant in the endochondral ossification. In this study, we explored a new method to amplify the BMP2-induced chondrogenic differentiation of hSMSCs by downregulating Smad7 and applying a cellular scaffold. METHODS hSMSCs were isolated from human knee joint synovium from 3 donors through adhesion growth. In vitro and in vivo models of the chondrogenic differentiation of hSMSCs were established. Transgenic expression of BMP2 and silencing of Smad7 and Smad7 was achieved by adenoviral vectors. The osteogenic differentiation was detected by alkaline phosphatase staining, alizarin red staining, and RT-PCR analysis of the osteogenic genes RUNX2, Osterix, and Osteocalcin. The chondrogenic differentiation was detected by Alcian blue staining and RT-PCR analysis of the chondrogenic genes SOX9, COL2, and aggrecan. Hypertrophic differentiation was detected by the markers COL10 and MMP13. A subcutaneous stem cell implantation model was established with polyethylene glycol citrate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide (PPCN) scaffolds and athymic nude mice (3/group, 4-6 week-old female) and evaluated by micro-CT, H&E staining, and Alcian blue staining. An immunohistochemistry assay was used to detected COL1 and COL2, and an immunofluorescence assay was used to detect COL10 and MMP13. RESULTS These hSMSCs identified by flow cytometry. These hSMSCs exhibited lower osteo-differentiation potential than iMads and C3H10T1/2-cells. When Smad7 was silenced in BMP2-induced hSMSCs, the chondrogenic differentiation genes SOX9, COL2, and aggrecan were enhanced in vitro. Additionally, it silencing Smad7 led to a decrease in the hypertrophic differentiation genes COL10 and MMP13. In subcutaneous stem cell implantation assays, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that silencing Smad7 increased the number of COL2-positive cells and decreased the expression of COL1, COL10, and MMP13. CONCLUSION This study suggests that the application of hSMSCs, cell scaffolds, and silencing Smad7 can potentiate BMP2-induced chondrogenic differentiation and inhibit endochondral ossification. Thus, inhibiting the expression of Smad7 in BMP2-induced hSMSC differentiation may be a new strategy for cartilage tissue-engineering.

Abstract
Oral tissue regeneration has received growing attention for improving the quality of life of patients. Regeneration of oral tissues such as alveolar bone and widely defected bone has been extensively investigated, including regenerative treatment of oral tissues using therapeutic cells and growth factors. Additionally, small-molecule drugs that promote bone formation have been identified and tested as new regenerative treatment. However, treatments need to progress to realize successful regeneration of oral functions. In this review, we describe recent progress in development of regenerative treatment of oral tissues. In particular, we focus on cyclodextrin (CD)-based pharmaceutics and polyelectrolyte complexation of growth factors to enhance their solubility, stability, and bioactivity. CDs can encapsulate hydrophobic small-molecule drugs into their cavities, resulting in inclusion complexes. The inclusion complexation of osteoinductive small-molecule drugs improves solubility of the drugs in aqueous solutions and increases in vitro osteogenic differentiation efficiency. Additionally, various anionic polymers such as heparin and its mimetic polymers have been developed to improve stability and bioactivity of growth factors. These polymers protect growth factors from deactivation and degradation by complex formation through electrostatic interaction, leading to potentiation of bone formation ability. These approaches using an inclusion complex and polyelectrolyte complexes have great potential in the regeneration of oral tissues.

Abstract
Shortcomings related to the treatment of bone diseases and consequent tissue regeneration such as transplants have been addressed to some extent by tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering has promoted structures that can simulate the extracellular matrix and are capable of guiding natural bone repair using signaling molecules to promote osteoinduction and angiogenesis essential in the formation of new bone tissues. Although recent studies on developing novel growth factor delivery systems for bone repair have attracted great attention, taking into account the complexity of the extracellular matrix, scaffolding and growth factors should not be explored independently. Consequently, systems that combine both concepts have great potential to promote the effectiveness of bone regeneration methods. In this review, recent developments in bone regeneration that simultaneously consider scaffolding and growth factors are covered in detail. The main emphasis in this overview is on delivery strategies that employ polymer-based scaffolds for spatiotemporal-controlled delivery of both single and multiple growth factors in bone-regeneration approaches. From clinical applications to creating alternative structural materials, bone tissue engineering has been advancing constantly, and it is relevant to regularly update related topics.

Abstract
Bone repair and regeneration processes are markedly impaired in diabetes mellitus (DM). Intervening approaches similar to those developed for normal healing conditions have been adopted to combat DM-associated bone regeneration. However, limited outcomes were achieved for these approaches. Hence, together with osteoconductive hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocrystals, osteoinductive magnesium oxide (MgO) nanocrystals were uniformly mounted into the network matrix of an organic hydrogel composed of cysteine-modified γ-polyglutamic acid (PGA-Cys) to construct a hybrid and rough hydrogel scaffold. It was hypothesized that the HA/MgO nanocrystal hybrid hydrogel (HA/MgO-H) scaffold can significantly promote bone repair in DM rats via the controlled release of Mg2+. The HA/MgO-H scaffold exhibited a sponge-like morphology with porous 3D networks inside it and displayed higher mechanical strength than a PGA-Cys scaffold. Meanwhile, the HA/MgO-H scaffold gradually formed a tough hydrogel with G' of more than 1000 Pa after hydration, and its high hydration swelling ratio was still retained. Moreover, after the chemical degradation of the dispersed MgO nanocrystals, slow release of Mg2+ from the hydrogel matrix was achieved for up to 8 weeks because of the chelation between Mg2+ and the carboxyl groups of PGA-Cys. In vitro cell studies showed that the HA/MgO-H scaffold could not only effectively promote the migration and proliferation of BMSCs but could also induce osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, in the 8th week after implanting the HA/MgO-H scaffold into femur bone defect zones of DM rats, more effective bone repair was presented by micro-CT imaging. The bone mineral density (397.22 ± 16.36 mg cm-3), trabecular thickness (0.48 ± 0.07 mm), and bone tissue volume/total tissue volume (79.37 ± 7.96%) in the HA/MgO-H group were significantly higher than those in the other groups. Moreover, higher expression of COL-I and OCN after treatment with HA/MgO-H was also displayed. The bone repair mechanism of the HA/MgO-H scaffold was highly associated with reduced infiltration of pro-inflammatory macrophages (CD80+) and higher angiogenesis (CD31+). Collectively, the HA/MgO-H scaffold without the usage of bioactive factors may be a promising biomaterial to accelerate bone defect healing under diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Autologous blood-derived fibrin glue with platelets, called the concentrated growth factor (CGF), can be prepared immediately by only the decided centrifuge without the addition of coagulation factors. Collagen materials combined with recombinant human BMP-2 have been commercially available for clinical use. The fresh CGF is auto-clot with wettability and elasticity, while most collagen membranes are derived from the cow or pig. The fresh CGF has wettability and elasticity, while collagen membranes are dry materials without elasticity. The aim of this study was to observe the microstructures of human CGF membrane and evaluate its behavior as a delivery scaffold of rhBMP-2 in the subcutaneous tissues of nude mice. Twenty-four nude mice (5-week-old, male) were used for the assessment of in vivo ectopic bone formation. Mice were received the CGF membrane as the controls and the CGF/rhBMP-2 membrane as the experimental group in the subcutaneous tissues, and harvested at 7, 10, and 14 days after the graft. Harvested samples were evaluated for the histological examination and the histomorphometric measurement was conducted to compare the residue of the CGF, as well as the new bone. Mature fibrin fibers assembled from multiple fibrillary elements and platelets with the rhBMP-2 membrane induced several bony islands and cartilage without residues of CGF at 14 days, while the CGF membrane alone was almost absorbed at 10 days and failed to induce bone formation at 14 days. These results demonstrated that the fresh, human CGF membrane could contribute to a short-term, sticky fibrin matrix for the delivery of rhBMP-2.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to examine the bone-forming ability of medium-cross-linked recombinant collagen peptide (mRCP) particles developedbased on human collagen type I, contains an arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid-rich motif, fabricated as bone filling material, compared to that of the autologous bone graft. Methods Calvarial bone defects were created in immunodeficient rats though a surgical procedure. The rats were divided into 2 groups: mRCP graft and tibia bone graft (bone graft). The bone formation potential of mRCP was evaluated by micro-computed tomography and hematoxylin-eosin staining at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after surgery, and the data were analyzed and compared to those of the bone graft. Results The axial volume-rendered images demonstrated considerable bony bridging with the mRCP graft, but there was no significant difference in the bone volume and bone mineral density between the mRCP graft and bone graft at 4 weeks. The peripheral new bone density was significantly higher than the central new bone density and the bottom side score was significantly higher than the top side score at early stage in the regenerated bone within the bone defects. Conclusion These results indicate that mRCP has a high potential of recruiting osteogenic cells, comparable to that of autologous bone chips. Bone formation potential of mRCP were comparable to that of autogenous bone. mRCP particles exhibit high new bone formation potential in the calvaria defect. Bone bridging was observed over the entire defect in mRCP graft at 4 weeks. mRCP has a high potential of recruiting osteogenic cells comparable to bone graft.

Abstract
Collagen, gelatin, silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, chitosan, alginate, and cellulose are biocompatible and non-cytotoxic, being attractive natural polymers for medical devices for both soft and hard tissues. However, such natural polymers have low bioactivity and poor mechanical properties, which limit their applications. To tackle these drawbacks, collagen, gelatin, silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, chitosan, alginate, and cellulose can be combined with bioactive glass (BG) nanoparticles and microparticles to produce composites. The incorporation of BGs improves the mechanical properties of the final system as well as its bioactivity and regenerative potential. Indeed, several studies have demonstrated that polymer/BG composites may improve angiogenesis, neo-vascularization, cells adhesion, and proliferation. This review presents the state of the art and future perspectives of collagen, gelatin, silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, chitosan, alginate, and cellulose matrices combined with BG particles to develop composites such as scaffolds, injectable fillers, membranes, hydrogels, and coatings. Emphasis is devoted to the biological potentialities of these hybrid systems, which look rather promising toward a wide spectrum of applications.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) encompasses the field of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive molecules to successfully guide the growth and repair of bone tissue. Current BTE strategies rely on delivering osteogenic molecules or cells via scaffolding materials. However, growth factor- and stem cell-based treatments have several limitations, such as source restriction, low stability, difficulties in predicting long-term efficacy, and high costs, among others. These issues have promoted the development of material-based therapy with properties of accessibility, high stability, tunable efficacy, and low-cost production. Hydrogels are widely used in BTE applications because of their unique hydrophilic nature and tunable physicochemical properties to mimic the native bone environment. However, current hydrogel materials are not ideal candidates due to minimal osteogenic capability on their own. Therefore, recent studies of BTE hydrogels attempt to counterbalance these issues by modifying their biophysical properties. In this article, we review recent progress in the design of hydrogels to instruct osteogenic potential, and present strategies developed to precisely control its bone healing properties.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study sought to compare radiographic outcomes and resource utilization between recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and anterior iliac crest bone graft (AICBG) when used for secondary alveolar grafting. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a 14-year retrospective study of patients with alveolar clefts treated at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center between January 2006 and January 2020. Patients who had alveolar grafting with either rhBMP-2 or AICBG were included in this study. The primary study predictor was the graft material. The study outcomes were bone height, operating room time, and the number of scrubbed personnel (surgeon and assistants). Graft survival was measured at a minimum of 6 months postoperatively. Bone height was scored according to the Bergland scale, and radiographic success was defined as Bergland types 1 or 2. RESULTS The study sample included a total of 115 patients with 130 alveolar clefts. Overall, 13.0% of patients had bilateral repairs, and 17.4% were retreatments. The cumulative success rate was 89.5%. There were no differences in success between materials (rhBMP: 90.3%; AICBG: 89.1%; P = .85). Patients presenting for retreatment were more likely to receive rhBMP-2 than AICBG (48.6 vs 3.8%, P < .01). After controlling for other significant confounders, the rhBMP-2 group required less personnel (P < .01) and operating room time (P < .01). Only 1 patient in the rhBMP-2 group was admitted, whereas all AICBG patients were admitted a minimum of 1 night. CONCLUSIONS Compared with AICBG, rhBMP-2 produced a similar height of bone but required less hospital resources. The decision to use harvested ilium or rhBMP-2 is not limited by outcome data at this time. More studies will need to be performed to identify the particular advantages of each graft material. The choice of material is currently both surgeon specific and patient specific and requires thorough informed consent.

Dubey S, Mishra R, Roy P, Singh RP. 3-D macro/microporous-nanofibrous bacterial cellulose scaffolds seeded with BMP-2 preconditioned mesenchymal stem cells exhibit remarkable potential for bone tissue engineering. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 167:934-946.

Abstract
Bone repair using BMP-2 is a promising therapeutic approach in clinical practices, however, high dosages required to be effective pose issues of cost and safety. The present study explores the potential of low dose BMP-2 treatment via tissue engineering approach, which amalgamates 3-D macro/microporous-nanofibrous bacterial cellulose (mNBC) scaffolds and low dose BMP-2 primed murine mesenchymal stem cells (C3H10T1/2 cells). Initial studies on cell-scaffold interaction using unprimed C3H10T1/2 cells confirmed that scaffolds provided a propitious environment for cell adhesion, growth, and infiltration, owing to its ECM-mimicking nano-micro-macro architecture. Osteogenic studies were conducted by preconditioning the cells with 50 ng/mL BMP-2 for 15 min, followed by culturing on mNBC scaffolds for up to three weeks. The results showed an early onset and significantly enhanced bone matrix secretion and maturation in the scaffolds seeded with BMP-2 primed cells compared to the unprimed ones. Moreover, mNBC scaffolds alone were able to facilitate the mineralization of cells to some extent. These findings suggest that, with the aid of 'osteoinduction' from low dose BMP-2 priming of stem cells and 'osteoconduction' from nano-macro/micro topography of mNBC scaffolds, a cost-effective bone tissue engineering strategy can be designed for quick and excellent in vivo osseointegration.

Abstract
Over the past few years, tissue-engineering technology provided a new direction for bone defects therapy, which involved developing applicable biological materials composite with seed cells to repair bone defects tissue. However, as one of the commonest seed cells for tissue engineering, BMSCs (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells), are still lacking an efficient and accurate differentiation ability into functional osteoblast. Given these facts, the development of a novel tissue engineering technology integrated BMSCs and scaffold materials have become an urgent need for bone defects repair. In this work, we found that miR-19b-3p could suppress the expression of Smurf1 which is a negative regulator of osteogenesis. By employing lentivirus pLVTHM-miR-19b-3p transfected BMSCs, we verified that miR-19b-3p could promote BMSCs osteogenic differentiation via suppressing Smurf1 expression. Furthermore, we designed a new porous PLLA/POSS scaffold combined with BMSCs for tissue engineering. In vitro experiment showed that miR-19b-3p modified BMSCs facilitated the expansion and proliferation of BMSCs when culturing with the PLLA/POSS scaffold. We established rats calvarial critical-sized defect model, after transplanting the BMSCs/PLLA/POSS for 3 month, the pathology, immunohistochemical and Micro-CT results showed that miR-19b-BMSCs/PLLA/POSS significantly facilitated the osteogenesis differentiation, enhanced the bone density of defect area and accelerated the repair of bone defect. We elucidated the mechanism that miR-19b-3p suppressed the expression of Smurf1 and provided a novel tissue engineering strategy for using microRNA gene-modified BMSCs combined with PLLA/POSS scaffold in bone tissue engineering.

Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Nanovesicles Potentiate the Bone-Formation Efficacy of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21176425.

Abstract
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) is one of the most potent osteogenic factors used to treat bone loss. However, at higher doses, rhBMP-2 does not necessarily increase bone formation but rather increases the incidence of adverse side effects. Here, we investigated whether umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UCMSC)-derived nanovesicles (NVs) further increase the in vivo bone formation at high doses of rhBMP-2. In the presence of UCMSC-derived NVs, proliferation, migration, and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were stimulated in vitro. Furthermore, migration and osteogenesis of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were stimulated. To examine the efficacy of UCMSC-derived NVs on in vivo bone formation, collagen sponges soaked with rhBMP-2 and UCMSC-derived NVs were used in athymic nude mice with calvarial defects. At a high rhBMP-2 dosage (500 ng/mL), UCMSC-derived NVs significantly promoted bone formation in calvarial defects; however, the UCMSC-derived NVs alone did not induce in vivo bone formation. Our results indicate that UCMSC-derived NVs can potentiate the bone formation efficacy of rhBMP-2 at a high dosage.

Abstract
Bone reconstruction techniques are mainly based on the use of tissue grafts and artificial scaffolds. The former presents well-known limitations, such as restricted graft availability and donor site morbidity, while the latter commonly results in poor graft integration and fixation in the bone, which leads to the unbalanced distribution of loads, impaired bone formation, increased pain perception, and risk of fracture, ultimately leading to recurrent surgeries. In the past decade, research efforts have been focused on the development of innovative bone substitutes that not only provide immediate mechanical support, but also ensure appropriate graft anchoring by, for example, promoting de novo bone tissue formation. From the countless studies that aimed in this direction, only few have made the big jump from the benchtop to the bedside, whilst most have perished along the challenging path of clinical translation. Herein, we describe some clinically successful cases of bone device development, including biological glues, stem cell-seeded scaffolds, and gene-functionalized bone substitutes. We also discuss the ventures that these technologies went through, the hindrances they faced and the common grounds among them, which might have been key for their success. The ultimate objective of this perspective article is to highlight the important aspects of the clinical translation of an innovative idea in the field of bone grafting, with the aim of commercially and clinically informing new research approaches in the sector.

Abstract
In vitro bone formation by mesenchymal stromal cells encapsulated in type-1 collagen hydrogels is demonstrated after a 28-day in vitro culture period. Analysis of the hydrogels is carried out by X-ray microcomputed tomography, histology, and immunohistochemistry, which collectively demonstrates that bone formation in the hydrogels was quantifiably proportional to the initial collagen concentration, and subsequently the population density of seeded cells. This was established by varying the initial collagen concentration at a constant cell seeding density (3 × 105 cells/0.3 mL hydrogel), and separately varying cell seeding density at a constant collagen concentration (1 mg/mL). Using these data, a mathematical model is presented for the total hydrogel volume and mineralization volume based on the observed linear contraction dynamics of cell-seeded collagen gels. The model parameters are fitted by comparing the predictions of the mathematical model for the hydrogel and mineralized volumes on day 28 with the experimental data. The model is then used to predict the hydrogel and mineralization volumes for a range of hydrogel collagen concentrations and cell seeding densities, providing comprehensive input/output descriptors for generating mineralized hydrogels for bone tissue engineering. It is proposed that this quantitative approach will be a useful tool for generating in vitro manufactured bone tissue, defining input parameters that yield predictable output measures of tissue maturation. Impact statement This article describes a simple yet powerful quantitative description of in vitro tissue-engineered bone by combining experimental data with mathematical modeling. The overall aim of the article is to examine what is currently known about cell-mediated collagen contraction, and demonstrate that this phenomenon can be exploited to tailor bone formation by choosing a specific set of input parameters in the form of cell seeding density and collagen hydrogel concentration. Our study utilizes a clinically relevant cell source (human mesenchymal stem cells) with a biomaterial that has received regulatory approval for use in humans (collagen type 1), and hence could be useful for clinical applications, as well as furthering our understanding of cell/extracellular matrix interactions in determining in vitro bone tissue formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the surface properties and in vitro effects of a new sequential release system on MC3T3-E1 cells for improved osseointegration. BACKGROUND BMP6-loaded anodized titanium coated with PDGF containing silk fibroin (SF) may improve osseointegration. METHODS Titanium surfaces were electrochemically anodized, and SF layer was covered via electrospinning. Five experimental groups (unanodized Ti (Ti), anodized Ti (AnTi), anodized + BMP6-loaded Ti (AnTi-BMP6), anodized + BMP6 loaded + silk fibroin-coated Ti (AnTi-BMP6-SF), and anodized + BMP6-loaded + silk fibroin with PDGF-coated Ti (AnTi-BMP6-PDGF-SF)) were tested. After SEM characterization, contact angle analysis, and FTIR analysis, the amount of released PDGF and BMP6 was detected using ELISA. Cell proliferation (XTT), mineralization, and gene expression (RUNX2 and ALPL) were also evaluated. RESULTS After successful anodization and loading of PDGF and BMP6, contact angle measurements showed hydrophobicity for TiO2 and hydrophilicity for protein-adsorbed surfaces. In FTIR, protein-containing surfaces exhibited amide-I, amide-II, and amide-III bands at 1600 cm-1 -1700 cm-1 , 1520 cm-1 -1540 cm-1 , and 1220 cm-1 -1300 cm-1 spectrum levels with a significant peak in BMP6- and/or SF-loaded groups at 1100 cm-1 . PDGF release and BMP6 release were delayed, and relatively slower release was detected in SF-coated surfaces. Higher MC3T3-E1 proliferation and mineralization and lower gene expression of RUNX2 and ALPL were detected in AnTi-BMP6-PDGF-SF toward day 28. CONCLUSION The new system revealed a high potential for an improved early osseointegration period by means of a better factor release curve and contribution to the osteoblastic cell proliferation, mineralization, and associated gene expression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim was to investigate the effect of collagen sponges (CS) as a delivery device for osteoprotegerin (OPG)/bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and support matrix on the tendon-bone healing after anterior crusicate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in modeled rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups based on treatments they received at the tendon-bone interface after left knee ACL reconstruction: the control group, OPG/BMP-2, CS, and OPG/BMP-2/CS combination. At 4, 8 and 12 weeks post-surgery, five rabbits from each group were euthanized to examine the tendon-bone healing. Levels of OPG and BMP-2 in synovial fluid, the bone tunnel enlargement value, the histomorphological typing of tendon-bone interface, and the bone tunnel area of the tendon-bone interface were compared among different treatments. RESULTS The OPG/BMP-2/CS combination treatment group had the highest levels of OPG and BMP-2 in synovial fluid (both P < 0.05), the greatest number of Sharpey-like collagen fibers at all test points (P < 0.05), the most fibrocartilage enthesis on week 12, the greatest bone tunnel area (P < 0.05), and the greatest decrease in bone tunnel enlargement on week 12 (P < 0.05). Histomorphological typing of tendon-bone interface of all groups showed changes varying from tendon-bone separation to firm healing, and the change was most significant in the OPG/BMP-2/CS combination treatment group. CONCLUSION CS treatment alone serves as a fixing support, and CS combining with growth factors OPG/BMP-2 ensures slow and stable release of OPG/BMP-2, significantly improves the tendon-bone healing in the rabbit ACL model.

Abstract
Objectives Beyond the original application approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is used for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) treatment because of its bone remodeling enhancement properties. The purpose of the study was to investigate the bone formation effect of rhBMP-2/absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) in patients with MRONJ. Materials and Methods In this retrospective cohort study, 26 female patients diagnosed with MRONJ and who underwent mandibular sequestrectomy at Ajou University Dental Hospital from 2010 to 2018 were included. The experimental group was composed of 18 patients who received rhBMP-2/ACS after sequestrectomy, while the control group was composed of 8 patients who did not receive rhBMP-2/ACS after sequestrectomy. A total dose of 0.5 mg of rhBMP-2 was used in the experimental group at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. Follow-up panoramic X-rays were taken immediately after the surgery and more than 6 months after the surgery. Using those X-rays, a radiographic index of bone defect area was calculated using the modified Ihan Hren method, which measures radiographic density of the normal bone and the defect site. Results This study suggests that rhBMP-2 contributes to new bone formation. The mean radiographic index immediately after surgery and more than 6 months after the surgery for the experimental group was 68.4% and 79.8%, respectively. The mean radiographic index immediately after surgery and more than 6 months after the surgery for the control group was 73.4% and 76.7%, respectively (Wilcoxon signed rank test, P>0.05). The mean radiographic index increased 11.4% in the experimental group and 3.27% in the control group (Mann–Whitney U-test, P<0.05). Conclusion Based on the results, use of rhBMP-2/ACS on bone defect sites after sequestrectomy could be a successful strategy for treatment of MRONJ patients.

Abstract
Xenogeneic acellular collagen matrices represent a safe alternative to autologous soft tissue transplants in periodontology and implant dentistry. Here, we aimed to investigate the adsorption and release of growth factors from four porcine-derived collagen matrices using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Non-crosslinked collagen matrix (NCM), crosslinked collagen matrix (CCM), dried acellular dermal matrix (DADM), and hydrated acellular dermal matrix (HADM) adsorbed each of the following growth factors, TGF-β1, FGF-2, PDGF-BB, GDF-5 and BMP-2, with an efficiency close to 100%. Growth factor release for a 13-day period was in the range of 10-50% of the adsorbed protein, except for the BMP-2 release that was in the range of 5-7%. Generally, protein release occurred in two phases. Phase I was arbitrary defined by the highest release from the matrices, usually within 24 h. Phase II, spanning the period immediately after the peak release until day 13, corresponded to the delayed release of the growth factors from the deeper layers of the matrices. HADM showed significantly (P < 0.001) higher TGF-β1, FGF-2, and PDGF-BB release in phase II, compared to the rest of the matrices. NCM exhibited significantly (P < 0.001) higher FGF-2 release in phase II, compared to CCM and DADM as well as a characteristic second peak in PDGF-BB release towards the middle of the tested period. In contrast to NCM and HADM, CCM and DADM showed a gradual and significantly higher release of GDF-5 in the second phase. Several burst releases of BMP-2 were characteristic for all matrices. The efficient adsorption and sustained protein release in the first 13 days, and the kinetics seen for HADM, with a burst release within hours and high amount of released growth factor within a secondary phase, may be beneficial for the long-term tissue regeneration following reconstructive periodontal surgery.

Abstract
The skeletal system is fundamental for the structure and support of the body consisting of bones, cartilage, and connective tissues. Poor fracture healing is a chief clinical problem leading to disability, extended hospital stays and huge financial liability. Even though most fractures are cured using standard clinical methods, about 10% of fractures are delayed or non-union. Despite decades of progress, the bone-targeted delivery system is still restricted due to the distinctive anatomical bone features. Recently, various novel nanocomposite systems have been designed for the cell-specific targeting of bone, enhancing drug solubility, improving drug stability and inhibiting drug degradation so that it can reach its target site without being removed in the systemic circulation. Such targeting systems could consist of biological compounds i.e. bone marrow stem cells (BMSc), growth factors, RNAi, parathyroid hormone or synthetic compounds, i.e. bisphosphonates (BPs) and calcium phosphate cement. Hydrogels and nanoparticles are also being employed for fracture healing. In this review, we discussed the normal mechanism of bone healing and all the possible drug delivery systems being employed for the healing of the bone fracture.

Assessment of effects of rhBMP-2 on interbody fusion with a novel rat model. Spine J 2020; 20:821-829. [PMID: 31901554 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2019.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 12/20/2019] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The effects of using off-label recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 for interbody fusion are controversial. Although animal models of posterolateral fusion are well-established, establishing animal models to validate the safety and efficacy of interbody fusion is difficult, which may contribute to the inconsistent clinical results. PURPOSE To develop a novel animal model of interbody fusion in rat coccygeal vertebrae without destroying bony endplates. STUDY DESIGN An experimental animal study. METHODS Forty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent coccygeal interbody fusion without violating vertebral endplates. The animals were divided into three different groups based on the materials that were implanted into the interbody space (1) allogeneic iliac bone (IB) alone (IB group), (2) IB and 3 µg of rhBMP-2 (BMP low-dose group), or (3) IB and 10 µg of rhBMP-2 (BMP high-dose group). Fusion rates were investigated using microcomputed tomography 6 weeks after the operation. The incidence of adverse events, including soft-tissue swelling, delayed wound healing, osteolysis, and ectopic bone formation were evaluated. The total number of adverse events (using the adverse event score) in each group and the swelling ratio (calculated using the surgical site tissue volume [TV; TV on postoperative day 1/preoperative TV]) were also evaluated. RESULTS The fusion rates in the BMP low- and high-dose groups (33.3% and 46.7%) were not significantly different, but both were significantly higher than that in the IB group (0%) (p=.042 and .006, respectively). Significant differences in the incidence of osteolysis, adverse event scores, and swelling ratios were observed only between the BMP high-dose and IB groups (p=.043, .006 and .014, respectively). CONCLUSIONS We developed a novel rat model of interbody fusion in which the vertebral endplates were not violated, reflecting the normal clinical setting. rhBMP-2 use increased the fusion rate, but a higher dose of rhBMP-2 did not lead to a higher fusion rate than that for low-dose rhBMP-2; conversely, it led to an increase in the occurrence of adverse events. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This novel rat model of coccygeal interbody fusion that preserved bony endplates has clinical significance for validating the effectiveness of biologics or bone graft substitutes before clinical trial.

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
Efficient delivery of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) with desirable bioactivity is still a great challenge in the field of bone regeneration. In this study, a silk fibroin/chitosan scaffold incorporated with BMP-2-loaded mesoporous hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (mHANPs) was prepared (SCH-L). BMP-2 was preloaded onto mHANPs with a high surface area before mixing with a silk fibroin/chitosan composite. Bare (without BMP-2) silk fibroin/chitosan/mHANP (SCH) scaffolds and SCH scaffolds with directly absorbed BMP-2 (SCH-D) were investigated in parallel for comparison. In vitro release kinetics indicated that BMP-2 released from the SCH-L scaffold showed a significantly lower initial burst release, followed by a more sustained release over time than the SCH-D scaffold. In vitro cell viability, osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and the in vivo osteogenic effect of scaffolds in a rat calvarial defect were evaluated. The results showed that compared with bare SCH and SCH-D scaffolds, the SCH-L scaffold significantly promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro and induced more pronounced bone formation in vivo. Further studies demonstrated that the mHANP-mediated satisfactory conformational change and sustained release benefited the protection of the released BMP-2 bioactivity, as confirmed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and a mineralization deposition assay. More importantly, the interaction of BMP-2/mHANPs enhanced the binding ability of BMP-2 to cellular receptors, thereby maintaining its biological activity in osteogenic differentiation and osteoinductivity well, which contributed to the markedly promoted in vitro and in vivo osteogenic efficacy of the SCH-L scaffold. Taken together, these results provide strong evidence that mHANPs represent an attractive carrier for binding BMP-2 to scaffolds. The SCH-L scaffold shows promising potential for bone tissue regeneration applications.

Abstract
The simulation of the native bone matrix formation process is crucial for the construction of the cellular microenvironment for bone regeneration. However, it is still challenging to design bioactive materials that simultaneously mimic the composition and dynamic mineralization process of the bone matrix, let alone realize osteoinduction by a biomimetic dynamic microenvironment. In this study, we prepared a biomimetic mineralizable collagen hydrogel (CAV) and explored the effects of a dynamic mineralized matrix on the osteogenesis of stem cells both in vitro and in vivo. We showed the feasibility of the biomimetic CAV hydrogel to induce mineralization in simulated media including simulated body fluid (SBF), glycerol phosphate calcium salt hydrate (CaGP) solution and cell co-cultured systems. The participation of cells in the mineralization process is more likely to induce matrix remodeling due to the synergistic effects of CAV mineralization and cellular secretion, resulting in higher matrix strength. We also demonstrated that the biomimetic mineralized hydrogel could up-regulate osteogenic genes and protein expression of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), thus enhancing osteogenesis in vivo. The interactions between the mineralizable hydrogel and cells play an important role in regulating dynamic matrix mineralization and osteogenesis. Our findings prove that the biomimetic mineralizable hydrogel is a promising candidate for implantable orthopedic applications and provides essential implications for the future design of materials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been used to promote bone formation in many clinical scenarios. However, the BMPs are inherently unstable in vivo and therefore need to be combined with carriers for controlled delivery. In this study, an innovative and efficient fibrin glue/fibronectin/heparin (FG/Fn/Hep)-based delivery system was developed for controlled release of BMP2. The incorporation of heparin can significantly slow the release of BMP2 without substantially affecting the structure and stiffness of the FG/Fn. The BMP2 release from the FG/Fn/Hep-BMP2 hydrogel is largely dominated by hydrogel degradation rather than simple diffusion. In vitro release experiments and MC3T3-E1 cell induction experiments showed that BMP2 can be released steadily and can induce MC3T3-E1 cells to differentiate into osteoblasts efficiently. This process is characterized by the significantly increased expression of calcium deposits, alkaline phosphatase, runt-related transcription factor-2, osteopontin, osteocalcin, and collagen I in comparison with the negative control. In vivo assessments revealed that the FG/Fn/Hep-BMP2 hydrogel significantly promotes bone regeneration in a rat calvarial critical-sized defect model. Our investigation indicates that FG/Fn/Hep-BMP2 hydrogel holds promise to be used as an alternative biomaterial for the repair of bone defects.
