A Comparative In Vitro and In Vivo Study of Osteogenicity by Using Two Biomaterials and Two Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Subtypes. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:913539. [PMID: 35712655 PMCID: PMC9195506 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.913539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Bone repair induced by stem cells and biomaterials may represent an alternative to autologous bone grafting. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs), easily accessible in every human, are prototypical cells that can be tested, alone or with a biomaterial, for creating new osteoblasts. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of two biomaterials—biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and bioactive glass (BG)—when loaded with either adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) or newborn nasal ecto-mesenchymal stem cells (NE-MSCs), the latter being collected for further repair of lip cleft-associated bone loss. Materials and Methods: BMMSCs were collected from two adults and NE-MSCs from two newborn infants. An in vitro study was performed in order to determine the best experimental conditions for adhesion, viability, proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation on BCP or BG granules. Bone-associated morphological changes and gene expression modifications were quantified using histological and molecular techniques. The in vivo study was based on the subcutaneous implantation in nude mice of the biomaterials, loaded or not with one of the two cell types. Eight weeks after, bone formation was assessed using histological and electron microscopy techniques. Results: Both cell types—BMMSC and NE-MSC—display the typical stem cell surface markers—CD73+, CD90+, CD105+, nestin - and exhibit the MSC-associated osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic multipotency. NE-MSCs produce less collagen and alkaline phosphatase than BMMSCs. At the transcript level, NE-MSCs express more abundantly three genes coding for bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin and osteopontin while BMMSCs produce extra copies of RunX2. BMMSCs and NE-MSCs adhere and survive on BCP and BG. In vivo experiments reveal that bone formation is only observed with BMMSCs transplanted on BCP biomaterial. Conclusion: Although belonging to the same superfamily of mesenchymal stem cells, BMMSCs and NE-MSCs exhibit striking differences, in vitro and in vivo. For future clinical applications, the association of BMMSCs with BCP biomaterial seems to be the most promising.

Abstract
Simple Summary This review article highlights gaps in the current system of drug development and personalized medicine for cancer therapy. The ex vivo model system using tissue biopsy from patients will advance the development of the predictive disease specific biomarker, drug screening and assessment of treatment response on a personalized basis. Although this ex vivo system demonstrated promises, there are challenges and limitations which need to be mitigated for further advancement and better applications. Abstract The field of cancer research is famous for its incremental steps in improving therapy. The consistent but slow rate of improvement is greatly due to its meticulous use of consistent cancer biology models. However, as we enter an era of increasingly personalized cancer care, including chemo and radiotherapy, our cancer models must be equally able to be applied to all individuals. Patient-derived organoid (PDO) and organ-in-chip (OIC) models based on the micro-physiological bioengineered platform have already been considered key components for preclinical and translational studies. Accounting for patient variability is one of the greatest challenges in the crossover from preclinical development to clinical trials and patient derived organoids may offer a steppingstone between the two. In this review, we highlight how incorporating PDO’s and OIC’s into the development of cancer therapy promises to increase the efficiency of our therapeutics.

Abstract
Acellular adipose matrix (AAM) has received increasing attention for soft tissue reconstruction, due to its abundant source, high long-term retention rate and in vivo adipogenic induction ability. However, the current decellularization methods inevitably affect native extracellular matrix (ECM) properties, and the residual antigens can trigger adverse immune reactions after transplantation. The behavior of host inflammatory cells mainly decides the regeneration of AAM after transplantation. In this review, recent knowledge of inflammatory cells for acellular matrix regeneration will be discussed. These advancements will inform further development of AAM products with better properties.

Abstract
The foreign body response (FBR) caused by biomaterials can essentially be understood as the interaction between the immune microenvironment and biomaterials, which has severely impeded the application of biomaterials in tissue repair. This concrete interaction occurs via cells and bioactive substances, such as proteins and nucleic acids. These cellular and molecular interactions provide important cues for determining which element to incorporate into immunomodulatory biomaterials (IMBs), and IMBs can thus be endowed with the ability to modulate the FBR and repair damaged tissue. In terms of cellular, IMBs are modified to modulate functions of immune cells, such as macrophages and mast cells. In terms of bioactive substances, proteins and nucleic acids are delivered to influence the immune microenvironment. Meanwhile, IMBs are designed with high affinity for spatial targets and the ability to self-adapt over time, which allows for more efficient and intelligent tissue repair. Hence, IMB may achieve the perfect functional integration in the host, representing a breakthrough in tissue repair and regeneration medicine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Biomaterials, either metallic, ceramic, or polymeric, can be used in medicine as a part of the implants, dialysis membranes, bone scaffolds, or components of artificial organs. Polymeric biomaterials cover a vast range of biomedical applications. The biocompatibility and immunocompatibility of polymeric materials are of fundamental importance for their possible therapeutic uses, as the immune system can intervene in the materials' performance. Therefore, based on application, different routes can be utilized for immunoregulation. AREAS COVERED As different biomaterials can be modulated by different strategies, this study aims to summarize and evaluate the available methods for the immunocompatibility enhancement of more common polymeric biomaterials based on their nature. Different strategies such as surface modification, physical characterization, and drug incorporation are investigated for the immunomodulation of nanoparticles, hydrogels, sponges, and nanofibers. EXPERT OPINION Recently, strategies for triggering appropriate immune responses by functional biomaterials have been highlighted. As most strategies correspond to the physical and surface properties of biomaterials, specific modulation can be conducted for each biomaterial system. Besides, different applications require different modulations of the immune system. In the future, the selection of novel materials and immune regulators can play a role in tuning the immune system for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Delayed healing of traumatic wounds often stems from a dysregulated immune response initiated or exacerbated by existing comorbidities, multiple tissue injury or wound contamination. Over decades, approaches towards alleviating wound inflammation have been centered on interventions capable of a collective dampening of various inflammatory factors and/or cells. However, a progressive understanding of immune physiology has rendered deeper knowledge on the dynamic interplay of secreted factors and effector cells following an acute injury. There is a wide body of literature, both in vitro and in vivo, abstracted on the immunomodulatory approaches to control inflammation. Recently, targeted modulation of the immune response via biotechnological approaches and biomaterials has gained attention as a means to restore the pro-healing phenotype and promote tissue regeneration. In order to fully realize the potential of these approaches in traumatic wounds, a critical and nuanced understanding of the relationships between immune dysregulation and healing outcomes is needed. This review provides an insight on paradigm shift towards interventional approaches to control exacerbated immune response following a traumatic injury from an agonistic to a targeted path. We address such a need by (1) providing a targeted discussion of the wound healing processes to assist in the identification of novel therapeutic targets and (2) highlighting emerging technologies and interventions that utilize an immunoengineering-based approach. In addition, we have underscored the importance of immune engineering as an emerging tool to provide precision medicine as an option to modulate acute immune response following a traumatic injury. Finally, an overview is provided on how an intervention can follow through a successful clinical application and regulatory pathway following laboratory and animal model evaluation.

Abstract
Skin wound repair is a multistage process involving multiple cellular and molecular interactions, which modulate the cell behaviors and dynamic remodeling of extracellular matrices to maximize regeneration and repair. Consequently, abnormalities in cell functions or pathways inevitably give rise to side effects, such as dysregulated inflammation, hyperplasia of nonmigratory epithelial cells, and lack of response to growth factors, which impedes angiogenesis and fibrosis. These issues may cause delayed wound healing or even non-healing states. Current clinical therapeutic approaches are predominantly dedicated to preventing infections and alleviating topical symptoms rather than addressing the modulation of wound microenvironments to achieve targeted outcomes. Bioactive materials, relying on their chemical, physical, and biological properties or as carriers of bioactive substances, can affect wound microenvironments and promote wound healing at the molecular level. By addressing the mechanisms of wound healing from the perspective of cell behaviors, this review discusses how bioactive materials modulate the microenvironments and cell behaviors within the wounds during the stages of hemostasis, anti-inflammation, tissue regeneration and deposition, and matrix remodeling. A deeper understanding of cell behaviors during wound healing is bound to promote the development of more targeted and efficient bioactive materials for clinical applications.

Abstract
We hypothesized that use of a composite three-dimensionally (3D) printed scaffold with electrospun nanofibers in conjunction with recipient-site preconditioning with an external volume expansion (EVE) device would enable successful dermal tissue regeneration of a synthetic polymer scaffold. Cell viability, cell infiltration, extracellular matrix deposition, scaffold contraction, and mRNA expression by dermal fibroblasts cultured on three different scaffolds, namely, 3D-printed scaffold with a collagen coating, 3D-printed scaffold with an electrospun polycaprolactone nanofiber and collagen coating, and 3D-printed scaffold with an electrospun polycaprolactone/collagen nanofiber, were measured. Before scaffold implantation, rats were treated for 2 h with an EVE device to evaluate the effect of this device on the recipient site. Cell proliferation rates were significantly higher on the 3D-printed scaffold with electrospun polycaprolactone nanofiber and collagen coating than on the other scaffolds. In cell invasion studies, the 3D-printed scaffold with electrospun polycaprolactone nanofiber and collagen coating showed better cell integration than the other scaffolds. Under stereomicroscopy, fibroblasts adhered tightly to the electrospun area, and the fibroblasts effectively produced both collagen and elastin. Rat skin treated with an EVE device exhibited increased HIF-1α protein expression and capillary neoformation compared with control skin. Invasion of CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes surrounding the scaffold decreased when the recipient site was preconditioned with the EVE device. The composite 3D printed scaffold with electrospun nanofibers provided a favorable environment for proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix synthesis by fibroblasts. Recipient-site preconditioning with an EVE device allowed for scaffold incorporation with less inflammation due to improved angiogenesis.

Abstract
SignificanceImplantable electronic medical devices (IEMDs) are used for some clinical applications, representing an exciting prospect for the transformative treatment of intractable conditions such Parkinson's disease, deafness, and paralysis. The use of IEMDs is limited at the moment because, over time, a foreign body reaction (FBR) develops at the device-neural interface such that ultimately the IEMD fails and needs to be removed. Here, we show that macrophage nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activity drives the FBR in a nerve injury model yet integration of an NLRP3 inhibitor into the device prevents FBR while allowing full healing of damaged neural tissue to occur.

Study of the immunologic response of marine-derived collagen and gelatin extracts for tissue engineering applications. Acta Biomater 2022; 141:123-131.

Abstract
The host immunologic response to a specific material is a critical aspect when considering it for clinical implementation. Collagen and gelatin extracted from marine sources have been proposed as biomaterials for tissue engineering applications, but there is a lack of information in the literature about their immunogenicity. In this work, we evaluated the immune response to collagen and/or gelatin from blue shark and codfish, previously extracted and characterized. After endotoxin evaluation, bone marrow-derived macrophages were exposed to the materials and a panel of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were evaluated both for protein quantification and gene expression. Then, the impact of those materials in the host was evaluated through peritoneal injection in C57BL/6 mice. The results suggested shark collagen as the less immunogenic material, inducing low expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (encoded by Nos2) and high expression of Arginase 1 (encoded by Arg1). Although shark gelatin appeared to be the material with higher pro-inflammatory expression, it also presents a high expression of IL-10 (anti-inflammatory cytokine) and Arginase (both markers for M2-like macrophages). When injected in the peritoneal cavity of mice, our materials demonstrated a transient recruitment of neutrophil, being almost non-existent after 24 hours of injection. Based on these findings, the studied collagenous materials can be considered interesting biomaterial candidates for regenerative medicine as they may induce an activation of the M2-like macrophage population, which is involved in suppressing the inflammatory processes promoting tissue remodeling. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Marine-origin biomaterials are emerging in the biomedical arena, namely the ones based in marine-derived collagen/gelatin proposed as cell templates for tissue regeneration. Nevertheless, although the major cause of implant rejection in clinical practice is the host's negative immune response, there is a lack of information in the literature about the immunological impact of these marine collagenous materials. This work aims to contribute with knowledge about the immunologic response to collagen/gelatin extracted from blue shark and codfish skins. The results demonstrated that despite some differences observed, all the materials can induce a macrophage phenotype related with anti-inflammation resolution and then act as immuno-modulators and anti-inflammatory inducible materials.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease leads to the highest morbidity worldwide. There is an urgent need to solve the lack of a viable arterial graft for patients requiring coronary artery bypass surgery. The current gold standard is to use the patient's own blood vessel, such as a saphenous vein graft. However, some patients do not have appropriate vessels to use because of systemic disease or secondary surgery. On the other hand, there is no commercially available synthetic vascular graft available on the market for small diameter (<6 mm) blood vessels like coronary, carotid, and peripheral popliteal arteries. Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) are studied in recent decades as a promising alternative to synthetic arterial prostheses. Yet only a few studies have proceeded to a clinical trial. Recent studies have uncovered that the host immune response can be directed toward increasing the success of a TEVG by shedding light on ways to modulate the macrophage response and improve the tissue regeneration outcome. In this review, the basic concepts of vascular tissue engineering and immunoengineering are considered. The state-of-art of TEVGs is summarized and the role of macrophages in TEVG regeneration is analyzed. Current immunomodulatory strategies based on biomaterials are also discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construction the telmisartan/collagen/polycaprolactone (PCL) nerve conduit and assess its effect on repairing sciatic nerve defect in rats. METHODS The 60% collagen/hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) solution and 40% PCL/HFIP solution were prepared and mixed (collagen/PCL solution). Then the 0, 5, 10, and 20 mg of telmisartan were mixed with the 10 mL collagen/PCL solution, respectively. Telmisartan/collagen/PCL nerve conduits were fabricated via high voltage electrospinning technology. The structure of nerve conduit before and after crosslinking was observed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The drug release efficiency was detected by in vitro sustained release method. RAW264.7 cells were cultured with lipopolysaccharide to induce inflammation, and then co-cultured with nerve conduits loaded with different concentrations of telmisartan for 24 hours. The mRNA expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and Arginase 1 (Arg-1) were detected by using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Forty adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=10). After preparing 15-mm-long sciatic nerve defect, the defect was repaired by cross-linked nerve conduits loaded with 0, 5, 10, and 20 mg telmisartan in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. After operation, the general condition of rats was observed after operation; the sciatic function index (SFI) was tested; the bridging between the nerve conduit and sciatic nerve, and the integrity of nerve conduit were observed; the tissue growth in nerve conduit and material degradation were observed by HE staining; the expressions of CD86 (M1 macrophage marker), CD206 (M2 macrophage marker), myelin basic protein (MBP), and myelin protein 0 (P0) in new tissues were also observed by immunohistochemical staining; the expressions of neurofilament 200 (NF-200) and S-100β in new tissues were assessed by immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS The general observation showed that the inner diameter of the nerve conduit was 1.8 mm and the outer diameter was 2.0 mm. After cross-linking by genipin, the nanofiber became thicker and denser. The drug release test showed that the telmisartan loaded nerve conduit could be released gradually. With the increase of telmisartan content in nerve conduit, the iNOS mRNA expression decreased and the Arg-1 mRNA expression increased; and the differences between 20 mg group and other groups were significant ( P<0.05). In vivo experiment showed that all animals in each group survived until the completion of the experiment. The SFI was significantly higher in groups C and D than in groups A and B at different time points ( P<0.05) and in group D than in group C at 6 months after operation ( P<0.05). HE staining showed that there were significantly more new tissues in the middle of the nerve conduit in group D after operation than in other groups. Immunohistochemical staining showed that CD86 and CD206 stainings were positive in each group at 1 month after operation, among which group D had the lowest positive rate of CD86 and the highest positive rate of CD206, and there were significant differences in the positive rate of CD206 between group D and groups A, B, and C ( P<0.05); the MBP and P0 stainings were positive in groups C and D at 6 months, and the positive rate in group D was significantly higher than that in group C ( P<0.05). Immunofluorescence staining showed that the NF-200 and S-100β expressions in group D were significantly higher than those in other groups. CONCLUSION Telmisartan/collagen/PLC nerve conduit can promote the sciatic nerve defect repair in rats through promoting the polarization of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages, and the nerve conduit loaded with20 mg telmisartan has the most significant effect.

Abstract
Understanding the immune response to hydrogel implantation is critical for the design of immunomodulatory biomaterials. To study the progression of inflammation around poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels presenting Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides and vascular endothelial growth factor, we used temporal analysis of high-dimensional flow cytometry data paired with intravital imaging, immunohistochemistry, and multiplexed proteomic profiling. RGD-presenting hydrogels created a reparative microenvironment promoting CD206+ cellular infiltration and revascularization in wounded dorsal skin tissue. Unbiased clustering algorithms (SPADE) revealed significant phenotypic transition shifts as a function of the cell-adhesion hydrogel properties. SPADE identified an intermediate macrophage subset functionally regulating in vivo cytokine secretion that was preferentially recruited for RGD-presenting hydrogels, whereas dendritic cell subsets were preferentially recruited to RDG-presenting hydrogels. Last, RGD-presenting hydrogels controlled macrophage functional cytokine secretion to direct polarization and vascularization. Our studies show that unbiased clustering of single-cell data provides unbiased insights into the underlying immune response to engineered materials.

Tissue response, macrophage phenotype, and intrinsic calcification induced by cardiovascular biomaterials: Can clinical regenerative potential be predicted in a rat subcutaneous implant model? J Biomed Mater Res A 2022; 110:245-256. [PMID: 34323360 PMCID: PMC8678182 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
The host immune response to an implanted biomaterial, particularly the phenotype of infiltrating macrophages, is a key determinant of biocompatibility and downstream remodeling outcome. The present study used a subcutaneous rat model to compare the tissue response, including macrophage phenotype, remodeling potential, and calcification propensity of a biologic scaffold composed of glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium (GF-BP), the standard of care for heart valve replacement, with those of an electrospun polycarbonate-based supramolecular polymer scaffold (ePC-UPy), urinary bladder extracellular matrix (UBM-ECM), and a polypropylene mesh (PP). The ePC-UPy and UBM-ECM materials induced infiltration of mononuclear cells throughout the thickness of the scaffold within 2 days and neovascularization at 14 days. GF-BP and PP elicited a balance of pro-inflammatory (M1-like) and anti-inflammatory (M2-like) macrophages, while UBM-ECM and ePC-UPy supported a dominant M2-like macrophage phenotype at all timepoints. Relative to GF-BP, ePC-UPy was markedly less susceptible to calcification for the 180 day duration of the study. UBM-ECM induced an archetypical constructive remodeling response dominated by M2-like macrophages and the PP caused a typical foreign body reaction dominated by M1-like macrophages. The results of this study highlight the divergent macrophage and host remodeling response to biomaterials with distinct physical and chemical properties and suggest that the rat subcutaneous implantation model can be used to predict in vivo biocompatibility and regenerative potential for clinical application of cardiovascular biomaterials.

Abstract
Performance of the biomaterials used for regenerative medicine largely depends on biocompatibility; however, the biological mechanisms underlying biocompatibility of a biomaterial within the host system is poorly understood. In addition to the classical immune response against non-self-entities, the sterile inflammatory response could limit the compatibility of biological scaffolds. Whereas the immediate to short-term host response to a biomaterial implant have been characterized, the long-term progression of host-biomaterial relationship has not been described. This article explores the novel concept of biomaterials-driven sterile inflammation (BSI) in long-term biodegradable implants and throws light for possible explanation for the onset of BSI and the associated damage-associated molecular patterns. The understanding of BSI would advance the current strategies to improve biomaterial-host tissue integration and open novel translational avenues in biomaterials-based tissue regeneration. Impact statement Understanding the novel concept of biomaterials-driven sterile inflammation and associated damage-associated molecular patterns in long-term biodegradable implants would determine their success and improves the tissue engineering and regenerative strategies.

Bioact Mater 2022; 15:446-455.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are important for tissue regeneration and immune response, yet how CaP bioceramics influence these biological processes remains unclear. Recently, the role of immune cells in biomaterial-mediated regeneration, especially macrophages, has been well concerned. CD301b+ macrophages were a new subset of macrophages we have discovered, which were required for bioceramics-mediated bone regeneration. Nevertheless, the impact of CD301b+ macrophages on angiogenesis, which is a vital prerequisite to bone formation is yet indistinct. Herein, we found that CD301b+ macrophages were closely correlated to angiogenesis of CaP bioceramics. Additionally, depletion of CD301b+ macrophages led to the failure of angiogenesis. We showed that store-operated Ca2+ entry and calcineurin signals regulated the VEGF expression of CD301b+ macrophages via the NFATc1/VEGF axis. Inhibition of calcineurin effectively impaired angiogenesis via decreasing the infiltration of CD301b+ macrophages. These findings provided a potential immunomodulatory strategy to optimize the integration of angiogenesis and bone tissue engineering scaffold materials. BCP bioceramics need the involvement of CD301b+ macrophages to promote angiogenesis. Surrounding BCP, CD301b+ macrophages are controlled by CaN and SOCE to express VEGF. BCP bioceramics direct CD301b+ macrophages' infiltration partly through calcineurin.

Abstract
Polypeptide-based injectable hydrogels have attracted the attention of biomedical researchers due to their unique biocompatibility and biodegradability, tunable residue chirality, and secondary conformation of polypeptide chains. In the present study, four types of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(glutamic acid)s with different topological structures and residue chirality of polypeptide segments were developed, which were grafted with tyramine side groups for further cross-linking. The results demonstrated that the covalent conjugation between the tyramine groups in the presence of horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide could form porous hydrogels rapidly. Additionally, the gelation time and mechanical strength of the hydrogels were measured. All the polymer precursors and hydrogels exhibited good cytocompatibility in vitro. Further assessment of the enzymatic degradability of the hydrogels and copolymers in vitro revealed that the degradation rate was influenced by the adjustment of polymer topology or residue chirality of polypeptide copolymers. Subsequently, the effect of copolymer topology and polypeptide chirality on in vivo biodegradability and biocompatibility was assessed. This study will provide insights into the relationship between copolymer structures and hydrogel properties and benefit future polypeptide-based hydrogel studies in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Tissue repair after trauma and infection has always been a difficult problem in regenerative medicine. Hydrogels have become one of the most important scaffolds for tissue engineering due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and water solubility. Especially, the stiffness of hydrogels is a key factor, which influence the morphology of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their differentiation. The researches on this point are meaningful to the field of tissue engineering. Herein, this review focus on the design of hydrogels with different stiffness and their effects on the behavior of MSCs. In addition, the effect of hydrogel stiffness on the phenotype of macrophages is introduced, and then the relationship between the phenotype changes of macrophages on inflammatory response and tissue repair is discussed. Finally, the future application of hydrogels with a certain stiffness in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering has been prospected.

Abstract
Of all biologic matrices, decellularized tissues have emerged as a promising tool in the field of regenerative medicine. Few empirical clinical studies have shown that Wharton’s jelly (WJ) of the human umbilical cord promotes wound closure and reduces wound-related infections. In this scope, we herein investigated whether decellularized (DC)-WJ could be used as an engineered biomaterial. In comparison with devitalized (DV)-WJ, our results showed an inherent effect of DC-WJ on Gram positive (S. aureus and S. epidermidis) and Gram negative (E. coli and P. aeruginosa) growth and adhesion. Although DC-WJ activated the neutrophils and monocytes in a comparable magnitude to DV-WJ, macrophages modulated their phenotypes and polarization states from the resting M0 phenotype to the hybrid M1/M2 phenotype in the presence of DC-WJ. M1 phenotype was predominant in the presence of DV-WJ. Finally, the subcutaneous implantation of DC-WJ showed total resorption after three weeks of implantation without any sign of foreign body reaction. These significant data shed light on the potential regenerative application of DC-WJ in providing a suitable biomaterial for tissue regenerative medicine and an ideal strategy to prevent wound-associated infections.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:7950834. [PMID: 35083333 PMCID: PMC8786519 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7950834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 12/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, α-Gal epitope-deficient (GGTA1 knockout (GTKO)) mice were used to assess the immunological risks of xenogeneic dural patch by comparing with raw material. METHODS The xenogeneic dural patch (T2) was prepared from bovine pericardium (T1, raw material) through decellularization and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) coating. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the collagen fibers and surface microstructural changes in the T1 and T2 samples. The remnant α-Gal epitopes and DNA of implants were detected by standardized method. T1 and T2 were implanted subcutaneously into GTKO mice for 4 and 12 weeks, respectively, and the negative control group (Con) was only performed sham operation. The total serum antibody, anti-Gal antibody, and splenic lymphocyte subtypes were analyzed by ELISA or flow cytometry, and histological analysis of implant-tissue was performed by H&E and Masson stain. RESULTS TEM and Sirius red staining showed that the collagen fibers in the dural patch were closely arranged, and SEM showed that a loose three-dimensional structure was successfully constructed on the surface of the dural patch after CMCS coating. The remnant DNA in T2 was 24.64 ± 8.73 ng/mg (dry weight), and clearance of α-Gal epitope was up to 99.83% compared to T1. The significant increases in serum total IgM, anti-Gal IgG, and anti-Gal IgM at 4 weeks and the significant changes in anti-Gal IgG and spleen lymphocyte at 12 weeks were observed in the T1 group, but no significant change was observed in the T2 group, compared to the control group. Histological semiquantitative analysis showed severe cell and tissue responses at 4 weeks and a moderate response at 12 weeks in the T1 group, while a moderate response at 4 weeks and a slight response at 12 weeks in the T2 group. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated that the xenogeneic dural patch has a lower and acceptable immunological risk compared to the raw material and control, respectively. On the other hand, it was suggested that GTKO mice are useful experimental model for immunological risk assessment of animal tissue-derived biomaterials.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are life-threatening diseases with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Vascular bypass surgery is still the ultimate strategy for CVD treatment. Autografts are the gold standard for graft transplantation, but insufficient sources limit their widespread application. Therefore, alternative tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) are urgently needed. In this review, we summarize the major strategies for the preparation of vascular grafts, as well as the factors affecting their patency and tissue regeneration. Finally, the underlying mechanisms of vascular regeneration that are mediated by host cells are discussed.

Lipidome profiling with Raman microspectroscopy identifies macrophage response to surface topographies of implant materials. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2021; 118:2113694118.

Abstract
Biomaterial characteristics such as surface topographies have been shown to modulate macrophage phenotypes. The standard methodologies to measure macrophage response to biomaterials are marker-based and invasive. Raman microspectroscopy (RM) is a marker-independent, noninvasive technology that allows the analysis of living cells without the need for staining or processing. In the present study, we analyzed human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) using RM, revealing that macrophage activation by lipopolysaccharides (LPS), interferons (IFN), or cytokines can be identified by lipid composition, which significantly differs in M0 (resting), M1 (IFN-γ/LPS), M2a (IL-4/IL-13), and M2c (IL-10) MDMs. To identify the impact of a biomaterial on MDM phenotype and polarization, we cultured macrophages on titanium disks with varying surface topographies and analyzed the adherent MDMs with RM. We detected surface topography-induced changes in MDM biochemistry and lipid composition that were not shown by less sensitive standard methods such as cytokine expression or surface antigen analysis. Our data suggest that RM may enable a more precise classification of macrophage activation and biomaterial-macrophage interaction.

Abstract
The cellular response of murine primary macrophages to monodisperse strontium containing bioactive glass nanoparticles (SrBGNPs), with diameters of 90 ± 10 nm and a composition (mol%) of 88.8 SiO2-1.8CaO-9.4SrO (9.4% Sr-BGNPs) was investigated for the first time. Macrophage response is critical as applications of bioactive nanoparticles will involve the nanoparticles circulating in the blood stream and macrophages will be the first cells to encounter the particles, as part of inflammatory response mechanisms. Macrophage viability and total DNA measurements were not decreased by particle concentrations of up to 250 μg/mL. The Sr-BGNPs were actively internalised by the macrophages via formation of endosome/lysosome-like vesicles bordered by a membrane inside the cells. The Sr-BGNPs degraded inside the cells, with the Ca and Sr maintained inside the silica network. When RAW264.7 cells were incubated with Sr-BGNPs, the cells were polarised towards the pro-regenerative M2 population rather than the pro-inflammatory M1 population. Sr-BGNPs are potential biocompatible vehicles for therapeutic cation delivery for applications in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Microplastics (< 5 mm diameter) are one of most important environmental pollutants and contaminants worldwide. However, how microplastics affect liver immune microenvironment in not well understood. Microplastics (0.5 µm) were administered orally to C57BL/6J mice for 4 consecutive weeks at the rate of 0.5 mg/day. Non-parenchymal cells were isolated from of the mice through fractionation of fresh hepatic tissues. The immune landscape for four cell populations of B cells, T cells, NK cells and macrophages in the liver tissues was then evaluated using flow cytometry. The secretion level of inflammatory cytokines and associated signaling pathway were investigated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot. Oral ingestion of microplastics increases liver weight, general liver index as well as expression of serum, liver function-related indicators. Microplastics also increased the infiltration of natural killer cells and macrophages to non-parenchymal liver cells, but reduced that of B cells to the same tissues. However, microplastics had no effect on the infiltration of T cell to non-parenchymal liver cells. Ingestion of MPs also up-regulated the expression of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-33 mRNA, but down-regulated that of IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-18 and TGF-β1. Overall, the aforementioned processes were regulated via the NF-κB pathway in the hepatic non-parenchymal cells. Microplastics disrupts inflammatory process in liver tissues via the NF-κB signaling pathway. These findings provide a strong foundation on immune processes in hepatic tissues following prolonged ingestion of microplastics.

Abstract
In humans, the trachea is a conduit for ventilation connecting the throat and lungs. However, certain congenital or acquired diseases may cause long-term tracheal defects that require replacement. Tissue engineering is considered a promising method to reconstruct long-segment tracheal lesions and restore the structure and function of the trachea. Decellularization technology retains the natural structure of the trachea, has good biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and is currently a hotspot in tissue engineering studies. This article lists various recent representative protocols for the generation of decellularized tracheal scaffolds (DTSs), as well as their validity and limitations. Based on the advancements in decellularization methods, we discussed the impact and importance of mechanical properties, revascularization, recellularization, and biocompatibility in the production and implantation of DTS. This review provides a basis for future research on DTS and its application in clinical therapy.

Abstract
Injury to the peripheral or central nervous systems often results in extensive loss of motor and sensory function that can greatly diminish quality of life. In both cases, macrophage infiltration into the injury site plays an integral role in the host tissue inflammatory response. In particular, the temporally related transition of macrophage phenotype between the M1/M2 inflammatory/repair states is critical for successful tissue repair. In recent years, biomaterial implants have emerged as a novel approach to bridge lesion sites and provide a growth-inductive environment for regenerating axons. This has more recently seen these two areas of research increasingly intersecting in the creation of 'immune-modulatory' biomaterials. These synthetic or naturally derived materials are fabricated to drive macrophages towards a pro-repair phenotype. This review considers the macrophage-mediated inflammatory events that occur following nervous tissue injury and outlines the latest developments in biomaterial-based strategies to influence macrophage phenotype and enhance repair.

Abstract
Scaffolds are an integral part of the regenerative medicine field. The contact of biomaterials with tissue, as was clearly observed over the years, induces immune reactions in a material and patient specific manner, where both surface and bulk properties of scaffolds, together with their 3D architecture, have a significant influence on the outcome. This review presents an overview of the reactions to the biomaterials with a specific focus on clinical complications with the implants in the context of immune reactions and an overview of the studies involving biomaterial properties and interactions with innate immune system cells. We emphasize the impact of these studies on scaffold selection and upscaling of microenvironments created by biomaterials from 2D to 3D using immune cell encapsulation, seeding in a 3D scaffold and co-culture with relevant tissue cells. 3D microenvironments are covered with a specific focus on innate cells since a large proportion of these studies used innate immune cells. Finally, the recent studies on the incorporation of adaptive immune cells in immunomodulatory systems are covered in this review. Biomaterial-immune cell interactions are a critical part of regenerative medicine applications. Current efforts in establishing the ground rules for such interactions following implantation can control immune response during all phases of inflammation. Thus, in the near future for complete functional recovery, tissue engineering and control over biomaterials must be considered at the first step of immune modulation and this review covers these interactions, which have remained elusive up to now.

Abstract
B cells are an adaptive immune target of biomaterials development in vaccine research but, despite their role in wound healing, have not been extensively studied in regenerative medicine. To probe the role of B cells in biomaterial scaffold response, we evaluated the B cell response to biomaterial materials implanted in a muscle wound using a biological extracellular matrix (ECM), as a reference for a naturally derived material, and synthetic polyester polycaprolactone (PCL), as a reference for a synthetic material. In the local muscle tissue, small numbers of B cells are present in response to tissue injury and biomaterial implantation. The ECM materials induced mature B cells in lymph nodes and antigen presentation in the spleen. The synthetic PCL implants resulted in prolonged B cell presence in the wound and induced an antigen-presenting phenotype. In summary, the adaptive B cell immune response to biomaterial induces local, regional, and systemic immunological changes.

Abstract
Tissue engineers often use biomaterials to provide structural support along with mechanical and chemical signals to modulate the wound healing process. Biomaterials that are implanted into the body interact with a heterogeneous and dynamic inflammatory environment that is present at the site of injury. Whether synthetically derived, naturally derived, or a combination of both, it is important to assess biomaterials for their ability to modulate inflammation to understand their potential clinical use. One important, but underexplored cell in the context of biomaterials is the mast cell (MC). MCs are granulocytic leukocytes that engage in a variety of events in both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Although highly recognized for their roles in allergic reactions, MCs play an important role in wound healing by recognizing antigens through pattern recognition receptors and the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor (FceRI) and releasing granules that affect cell recruitment, fibrosis, extracellular matrix deposition, angiogenesis, and vasculogenesis. MCs also mediate the foreign body response, contributing to the incorporation or rejection of implants. Studies of MC-biomaterial interactions can aid in the elucidation of MC roles during the host tissue response and tissue repair. This review is designed for those in the tissue engineering and biomaterial fields who are interested in exploring the role MCs may play in wound-biomaterial interactions and wound healing. With this review, we hope to inspire more research in the MC-biomaterial space to accelerate the design and construction of optimized implants. Impact statement Mast cells (MCs) are highly specialized inflammatory cells that have crucial, but not fully understood, roles in wound healing and tissue repair. Upon stimulation, they recognize foreign antigens and release granules that help orchestrate the inflammatory response after tissue damage or biomaterial implantation. This review summarizes the current use of MCs in biomaterial research along with literature from the past decade focusing on MC interactions with materials used for tissue repair and regeneration. Studying MC-biomaterial interactions will help (i) further understand the process of inflammation and (ii) design biomaterials and tissue-engineered constructs for optimal repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Polypropylene (PPL) mesh is widely used in pelvic floor reconstructive surgery for prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. However, some women, particularly those treated using transvaginal PPL mesh placement for prolapse, experience intractable pain and mesh exposure or extrusion. Explanted tissue from patients with complications following transvaginal implantation of mesh is typified by a dense fibrous capsule with an immune cell-rich infiltrate, suggesting that the host immune response has a role in transvaginal PPL mesh complications through the separate contributions of the host (patient), the biological niche within which the material is implanted and biomaterial properties of the mesh. This immune response might be strongly influenced by both the baseline inflammatory status of the patient, surgical technique and experience, and the unique hormonal, immune and microbial tissue niche of the vagina. Mesh porosity, surface area and stiffness also might have an effect on the immune and tissue response to transvaginal mesh placement. Thus, a regulatory pathway is needed for mesh development that recognizes the roles of host and biological factors in driving the immune response to mesh, as well as mandatory mesh registries and the longitudinal surveillance of patients.

Bioact Mater 2021; 6:4686-4696. [PMID: 34095625 PMCID: PMC8164007 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.04.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Revised: 04/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The in-stent restenosis (IRS) after the percutaneous coronary intervention contributes to the major treatment failure of stent implantation. MicroRNAs have been revealed as powerful gene medicine to regulate endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC) in response to vascular injury, providing a promising therapeutic candidate to inhibit IRS. However, the controllable loading and eluting of hydrophilic bioactive microRNAs pose a challenge to current lipophilic stent coatings. Here, we developed a microRNA eluting cardiovascular stent via the self-healing encapsulation process based on an amphipathic poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL, PCEC) triblock copolymer spongy network. The miR-22 was used as a model microRNA to regulate SMC. The dynamic porous coating realized the uniform and controllable loading of miR-22, reaching the highest dosage of 133 pmol cm-2. We demonstrated that the sustained release of miR-22 dramatically enhanced the contractile phenotype of SMC without interfering with the proliferation of EC, thus leading to the EC dominating growth at an EC/SMC ratio of 5.4. More importantly, the PCEC@miR-22 coated stents showed reduced inflammation, low switching of SMC phenotype, and low secretion of extracellular matrix, which significantly inhibited IRS. This work provides a simple and robust coating platform for the delivery of microRNAs on cardiovascular stent, which may extend to other combination medical devices, and facilitate practical application of bioactive agents in clinics.

Abstract
In situ tissue engineering using bioresorbable material implants - or scaffolds - that harness the patient's immune response while guiding neotissue formation at the site of implantation is emerging as a novel therapy to regenerate human tissues. For the cardiovascular system, the use of such implants, like blood vessels and heart valves, is gradually entering the stage of clinical translation. This opens up the question if and to what extent patient characteristics influence tissue outcomes, necessitating the precision engineering of scaffolds to guide patient-specific neo-tissue formation. Because of the current scarcity of human in vivo data, herein we review and evaluate in vitro and preclinical investigations to predict the potential role of patient-specific parameters like sex, age, ethnicity, hemodynamics, and a multifactorial disease profile, with special emphasis on their contribution to the inflammation-driven processes of in situ tissue engineering. We conclude that patient-specific conditions have a strong impact on key aspects of in situ cardiovascular tissue engineering, including inflammation, hemodynamic conditions, scaffold resorption, and tissue remodeling capacity, suggesting that a tailored approach may be required to engineer immuno-regenerative biomaterials for safe and predictive clinical applicability.

Abstract
Severe traumatic skeletal muscle injuries, such as volumetric muscle loss (VML), result in the obliteration of large amounts of skeletal muscle and lead to permanent functional impairment. Current clinical treatments are limited in their capacity to regenerate damaged muscle and restore tissue function, promoting the need for novel muscle regeneration strategies. Advances in tissue engineering, including cell therapy, scaffold design, and bioactive factor delivery, are promising solutions for VML therapy. Herein, we review tissue engineering strategies for regeneration of skeletal muscle, development of vasculature and nerve within the damaged muscle, and achievements in immunomodulation following VML. In addition, we discuss the limitations of current state of the art technologies and perspectives of tissue-engineered bioconstructs for muscle regeneration and functional recovery following VML.

Abstract
Biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides, can be self-assembled. They are widely distributed, easy to obtain, and biocompatible. However, the self-assembly of proteins and peptides has disadvantages, such as difficulty in obtaining high quantities of materials, high cost, polydispersity, and purification limitations. The difficulties in using proteins and peptides as functional materials make it more complicate to arrange assembled nanostructures at both microscopic and macroscopic scales. Amino acids, as the smallest constituent of proteins and the smallest constituent in the bottom-up approach, are the smallest building blocks that can be self-assembled. The self-assembly of single amino acids has the advantages of low synthesis cost, simple modeling, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability in vivo. In addition, amino acids can be assembled with other components to meet multiple scientific needs. However, using these simple building blocks to design attractive materials remains a challenge due to the simplicity of the amino acids. Most of the review articles about self-assembly focus on large molecules, such as peptides and proteins. The preparation of complicated materials by self-assembly of amino acids has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, it is of great significance to systematically summarize the literature of amino acid self-assembly. This article reviews the recent advances in amino acid self-assembly regarding amino acid self-assembly, functional amino acid self-assembly, amino acid coordination self-assembly, and amino acid regulatory functional molecule self-assembly.

Abstract
For over 20 years, peptide materials in their hydrogel or soluble fibril form have been used for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, cell culture, vaccines, and tissue regeneration. To facilitate the translation of these materials, key areas of research still need to be addressed. Their structural characterization lags compared to amyloid proteins. Many of the structural features designed to guide materials formation are primarily being characterized by their observation in atomic resolution structures of amyloid assemblies. Herein, these motifs are examined in relation to peptide designs identifying common interactions that drive assembly and provide structural specificity. Current efforts to design complex structures, as reviewed here, highlight the need to extend the structural revolution of amyloid proteins to peptide assemblies to validate design principles. With respect to clinical applications, the fundamental interactions and responses of proteins, cells, and the immune system to peptide materials are still not well understood. Only a few trends are just now emerging for peptide materials interactions with biological systems. Understanding how peptide material properties influence these interactions will enable the translation of materials towards current and emerging applications.

Abstract
Biomaterials continue to evolve as complex engineered tools for interactively instructing biological systems, aiding in the understanding and treatment of various disease states through intimate biological interaction. The immune response to polymeric materials is a critical area of study, as it governs the body's response to biomaterial implants, drug delivery vehicles, and even therapeutic drug formulations. Importantly, the development of the immune response to polymeric biomaterials spans length scales - from single molecular interactions to the complex sensing of bulk biophysical properties, all of which coordinate a tissue- and systems-level response. In this review, we specifically discuss a bottom-up approach to designing biomaterials that use molecular-scale interactions to drive immune response to polymers and discuss how these interactions can be leveraged for biomaterial design. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The immune system is an integral controller of (patho)physiological processes, affecting nearly all aspects of human health and disease. Polymeric biomaterials, whether biologically derived or synthetically produced, can potentially alter the behavior of immune cells due to their molecular-scale interaction with individual cells, as well as their interpretation at the bulk scale. This article reviews common mechanisms by which immune cells interact with polymers at the molecular level and discusses how these interactions are being leveraged to produce the next generation of biocompatible and immunomodulatory materials.

Abstract
On account of the poor biocompatibility of synthetic prosthesis, millions of rhinoplasty recipients have been forced to choose autologous costal cartilage as grafts, which suffer from limited availability, morbidity at the donor site and prolonged operation time. Here, as a promising alternative to autologous costal cartilage, we developed a novel xenogeneic costal cartilage and explored its feasibility as a rhinoplasty graft for the first time. Adopting an improved decellularization protocol, in which the ionic detergent was substituted by trypsin, the resulting decellularized graft was confirmed to preserve more structural components and better mechanics, and eliminate cellular components effectively. The in vitro and in vivo compatibility experiments demonstrated that the decellularized graft showed excellent biocompatibility and biosecurity. Additionally, the functionality assessment of rhinoplasty was performed in a rabbit model, and the condition of grafts after implantation was comprehensively evaluated. The optimized graft exhibited better capacity to reduce the degradation rate and maintain the morphology, in comparison to the decellularized costal cartilage prepared by conventional protocol. These findings indicate that this optimized graft derived from decellularized xenogeneic costal cartilage provides a new prospective for future investigations of rhinoplasty prosthesis and has great potential for clinical application.

Abstract
In situ tissue engineering utilizes the regenerative potential of the human body to control cell function for tissue regeneration and has shown considerable prospect in urology. However, many problems are still to be understood, especially the interactions between scaffolds and host macrophages at the wound site and how these interactions direct tissue integration and regeneration. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronic acid (HA) functionalized collagen nanofibers in modulating the pro-healing phenotype expression of macrophages for urethral regeneration. Tubular HA-collagen nanofibers with HA-coating were prepared by coaxial electrospinning. The formation of a thin HA-coating atop each collagen nanofiber endowed its nanofibrous mats with higher anisotropic wettability and mechanical softness. The macrophages growing on the surface of HA-collagen nanofibers showed an elongated shape, while collagen nanofibers' surface exhibited a pancake shape. Immunofluorescence and ELISA analysis showed that elongation could promote the expression of M2 phenotype marker and reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. In vivo experiments showed that tubular HA-collagen nanofibers significantly facilitate male puppy urethral regeneration after injury. In the regenerated urethra bridged by tubular HA-collagen nanofibers, anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages are recruited to the surface of the scaffold, which can promote angiogenesis and endogenous urothelial progenitor cell proliferation.

Abstract
Macrophages play crucial roles in host tissue reaction to biomaterials upon implantation in vivo. However, the complexity of biomaterial degradation-related macrophage subpopulations that accumulate around the implanted biomaterials in situ is not fully understood. Here, using single cell RNA-seq, we analyze the transcriptome profiles of the various cell types around the scaffold to map the scaffold-induced reaction, in an unbiased approach. This enables mapping of all biomaterial degradation-associated cells at high resolution, revealing distinct subpopulations of tissue-resident macrophages as the major cellular sources of biomaterial degradation in situ. We also find that scaffold architecture can affect the mechanotransduction and catabolic activity of specific material degradation-related macrophage subpopulations in an Itgav-Mapk1-Stat3 dependent manner, eventually leading to differences in scaffold degradation rate in vivo. Our work dissects unanticipated aspects of the cellular and molecular basis of biomaterial degradation at the single-cell level, and provides a conceptual framework for developing functional tissue engineering scaffolds in future.

Abstract
The importance of a local tissue immune response in healing injured tissues such as skin and lung is well established. Little is known about whether sterile wounds elicit lymph node (LN) responses and inflammatory responses after injury of musculoskeletal tissues that are mechanically loaded during the repair response. We investigated LN and tissue immune responses in a tibial implant model of joint replacement surgery where wounded tissue is subjected to movement and mechanical loading postoperatively. Draining inguinal and iliac LNs expanded postoperatively, including increases in regulatory T cells and activation of a subset of T cells. Thus, tissue injury was actively sensed in secondary lymphoid organs, with the potential to activate adaptive immunity. Joint tissues exhibited three temporally distinct immune response components, including a novel interferon (IFN) response with activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and interferon regulatory factor (IRF) pathways. Fibrovascular tissue formation was not associated with a macrophage type 2 (M2) reparative immune response, but instead with delayed induction of interleukin-1 family (IL-1β, IL-33, IL-36), IL-17, and prostaglandin pathway genes concomitant with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and growth factor signaling, fibroblast activation, and tissue formation. Tissue remodeling was associated with activity of the HOX antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) pathway. These results provide insights into immune responses and regulation of tissue healing after knee arthroplasty that potentially can be used to develop therapeutic strategies to improve healing, prevent arthrofibrosis, and improve surgical outcomes. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Regenerative medicine has developed promising approaches for healing and replacing defective and damaged organs or tissues with functional ones. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting innovation has integrated a potential to design organs or tissues specific to the patient with the capability of rapid construction to fulfill the storage of organs and the need for transplantation. 3D bioprinting of organs has the main goal to develop a structural and functional organ or tissue mimic to the original one. The highly complex fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds containing biomaterials, tissue models, and biomedical devices has made it possible to print small blood vessels to mimic organs to reduce organ or tissue rejection. 3D bioprinting has the concept of bioinks containing biomaterials that may trigger the immune responses in the body. Nevertheless, foreign body response (FBR) is mediated by various cell types such as B-cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, natural killer cells, neutrophils, and T-cells, and molecular signals such as antibodies (Abs), cytokines, and reactive radical species. Typically, the biomaterial is shielded by the fibrous encapsulation that is regulated by molecular signals. This review explored the progress in 3D bioprinting of vital organs and basic immune response against the biomaterials used in this approach. Thus, evaluating immune response against biomaterials used in 3D printed organs is necessary to mitigate tissue rejection after the transplantation.

[PMID: 34087437 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.05.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Biomaterials offer a promising approach to repair bone defects. Whereas traditional studies predominantly focused on optimizing the osteogenic capacity of biomaterials, less focus has been on the immune response elicited by them. However, the immune and skeletal systems extensively interact, a concept which is referred to as 'osteoimmunology'. This realization has fuelled the development of biomaterials with favourable osteoimmunomodulatory (OIM) properties, aiming to modulate the immune response and to support bone regeneration, thereby affecting the success of an implant. Given the plethora of in vitro assays used to evaluate the OIM properties of biomaterials, it may be challenging to select the right methods to produce conclusive results. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive and practical guide for researchers interested in studying the OIM properties of biomaterials in vitro. After a concise overview of the concept of osteoimmunology, emphasis is put on the methodologies that are regularly used to evaluate the OIM properties of biomaterials. First, a description of the most commonly used cell types and cell culture media is provided. Second, typical experimental set-ups and their relevant characteristics are discussed. Third, a detailed overview of the generally used methodologies and readouts, including cell type-specific markers and time points of analysis, is given. Finally, we highlight the promise of advanced approaches, namely microarrays, bioreactors and microfluidic-based systems, and the potential that these may offer to the osteoimmunology field. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Osteoimmunology focuses on the connection and communication between the skeletal and immune systems. This interaction has been recognized to play an important role in the clinical success of biomaterials, which has resulted in an increasing amount of research on the osteoimmunomodulatory (OIM) properties of biomaterials. However, the amount of literature makes it challenging to extract the information needed to design experiments from beginning to end, and to compare obtained results to existing work. This article intends to serve as a guide for those aiming to learn more about the commonly used experimental approaches in the field. We cover early-stage choices, such as cell types and experimental set-ups, but also discuss specific assays, including cell markers and time points of analysis.

Abstract
In orchestrating the wound healing process, the immune system plays a critical role. Hence, controlling the immune system to repair skin defects is an attractive approach. The highly complex immune system includes the coordinated actions of several immune cells, which can produce various inflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines and affect the healing of skin wounds. This process can be optimized using biomaterials, bioactive molecules, and cell delivery. The present review discusses various immunomodulation strategies for supporting the healing of chronic wounds. In this regard, following the evolution of the immune system and its role in the wound healing mechanism, the interaction between the extracellular mechanism and immune cells for acceleration wound healing will be firstly investigated. Consequently, the immune-based chronic wounds will be briefly examined and the mechanism of progression, and conventional methods of their treatment are evaluated. In the following, various biomaterials-based immunomodulation strategies are introduced to stimulate and control the immune system to treat and regenerate skin defects. Other effective methods of controlling the immune system in wound healing which is the release of bioactive agents (such as antiinflammatory, antigens, and immunomodulators) and stem cell therapy at the site of injury are reviewed.

Local Delivery of Pirfenidone by PLA Implants Modifies Foreign Body Reaction and Prevents Fibrosis. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9080853. [PMID: 34440057 PMCID: PMC8389617 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9080853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Peri-implant fibrosis (PIF) increases the postsurgical risks after implantation and limits the efficacy of the implantable drug delivery systems (IDDS). Pirfenidone (PF) is an oral anti-fibrotic drug with a short (<3 h) circulation half-life and strong adverse side effects. In the current study, disk-shaped IDDS prototype combining polylactic acid (PLA) and PF, PLA@PF, with prolonged (~3 days) PF release (in vitro) was prepared. The effects of the PLA@PF implants on PIF were examined in the rabbit ear skin pocket model on postoperative days (POD) 30 and 60. Matching blank PLA implants (PLA0) and PLA0 with an equivalent single-dose PF injection performed on POD0 (PLA0+injPF) served as control. On POD30, the intergroup differences were observed in α-SMA, iNOS and arginase-1 expressions in PLA@PF and PLA0+injPF groups vs. PLA0. On POD60, PIF was significantly reduced in PLA@PF group. The peri-implant tissue thickness decreased (532 ± 98 μm vs. >1100 μm in control groups) approaching the intact derma thickness value (302 ± 15 μm). In PLA@PF group, the implant biodegradation developed faster, while arginase-1 expression was suppressed in comparison with other groups. This study proves the feasibility of the local control of fibrotic response on implants via modulation of foreign body reaction with slowly biodegradable PF-loaded IDDS.
