Abstract
This study reports a new approach for the facile fabrication of calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanoparticles using tannic acid (TA) as the coordinate bridge between calcium ions. Tannylated-CaO2 (TA/CaO2) nanoparticles were prepared by reacting calcium chloride (CaCl2) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in ethanol containing ammonia and different amounts of TA (10, 25, and 50 mg). The prepared TA/CaO2 aggregates consisted of nanoparticles 25–31 nm in size. The nanoparticles prepared using 10 mg of TA in the precursor solution exhibited the highest efficiency for oxygen generation. Moreover, the oxygen generation from TA (10 mg)/CaO2 nanoparticles was higher in an acidic environment.

Abstract
Affected by environmental factors such as oxygen deficiency, the secretion of growth factor was abnormal in bone injury sites, resulting in the poor responses of osteoblasts and prolonging the healing process. Herein, in this study, we reported an in situ oxygen-releasing porous titanium coating that combines the dual degradability of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) with the self-releasing oxygen capacity of the CaO2 core. The resulting formulation exhibited stable oxygen-releasing capacity as well as the ability to promote proliferation and differentiation of the MC3T3 cell line under hypoxia conditions. According to these results, oxygen-releasing coatings based on improved cellular microenvironment may be a promising bone repair material that would reduce the incidence of difficult bone healing in the future.

Fabrication and Plasma Surface Activation of Aligned Electrospun PLGA Fiber Fleeces with Improved Adhesion and Infiltration of Amniotic Epithelial Stem Cells Maintaining their Teno-inductive Potential. Molecules 2020; 25:E3176.

Abstract
Electrospun PLGA microfibers with adequate intrinsic physical features (fiber alignment and diameter) have been shown to boost teno-differentiation and may represent a promising solution for tendon tissue engineering. However, the hydrophobic properties of PLGA may be adjusted through specific treatments to improve cell biodisponibility. In this study, electrospun PLGA with highly aligned microfibers were cold atmospheric plasma (CAP)-treated by varying the treatment exposure time (30, 60, and 90 s) and the working distance (1.3 and 1.7 cm) and characterized by their physicochemical, mechanical and bioactive properties on ovine amniotic epithelial cells (oAECs). CAP improved the hydrophilic properties of the treated materials due to the incorporation of new oxygen polar functionalities on the microfibers' surface especially when increasing treatment exposure time and lowering working distance. The mechanical properties, though, were affected by the treatment exposure time where the optimum performance was obtained after 60 s. Furthermore, CAP treatment did not alter oAECs' biocompatibility and improved cell adhesion and infiltration onto the microfibers especially those treated from a distance of 1.3 cm. Moreover, teno-inductive potential of highly aligned PLGA electrospun microfibers was maintained. Indeed, cells cultured onto the untreated and CAP treated microfibers differentiated towards the tenogenic lineage expressing tenomodulin, a mature tendon marker, in their cytoplasm. In conclusion, CAP treatment on PLGA microfibers conducted at 1.3 cm working distance represent the optimum conditions to activate PLGA surface by improving their hydrophilicity and cell bio-responsiveness. Since for tendon tissue engineering purposes, both high cell adhesion and mechanical parameters are crucial, PLGA treated for 60 s at 1.3 cm was identified as the optimal construct.

Abstract
Oxygen deficiency resulting from bone fracture-induced vascular disruption leads to massive cell death and delayed osteoblast differentiation, ultimately impairing new bone formation and fracture healing. Enhancing local tissue oxygenation can help promote bone regeneration. In this work, an injectable composite oxygen-generating system consisting of calcium peroxide (CaO2)/manganese dioxide (MnO2)-encapsulated poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microparticles (CaO2 + MnO2@PLGA MPs) is proposed for the local delivery of oxygen. By utilizing a series of methodologies, the impacts of each component used for MP fabrication on the oxygen release behavior and cytotoxicity of the CaO2 + MnO2@ PLGA MPs are thoroughly investigated. Our analytical data obtained from in vitro studies indicate that the optimized CaO2 + MnO2@PLGA MPs developed in this study can effectively relieve the hypoxia of preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells that are grown under low oxygen tension and promote their osteogenic differentiation, thus holding great promise in enhancing fractural healing by increasing tissue oxygenation.

Abstract
Cartilage is one of our body's tissues which are not repaired automatically by itself. Problems associated with cartilage are very common worldwide and are considered the leading cause of pain and disability. Smart biomaterial or "Four dimensional" (4D) biomaterials has started emerging as a suitable candidate, which are principally three dimensional (3D) materials that change their morphology or generate a response measured at space and time to physiologic stimuli. In this context, the release of oxygen through hydrogels in contact with water is considered as 4D biomaterials. The objective of this study is to develop strategies to release oxygen in a sustainable and prolonged manner through hydrogels systems to promote chondrocytes survival in oxygen-free environment. The 4D biomaterials are engineered from gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) loaded with calcium peroxide (CPO), which have the ability to generate oxygen in a controlled and sustained manner for up to 6 days. The incorporation of CPO into the hydrogel system provided materials with enhanced mechanical and porosity properties. Furthermore, the hydrogels promoted chondrocyte survival and reduced cell death under oxygen-free conditions.

Abstract
Lack of suitable auto/allografts has been delaying surgical interventions for the treatment of numerous disorders and has also caused a serious threat to public health. Tissue engineering could be one of the best alternatives to solve this issue. However, deficiency of oxygen supply in the wounded and implanted engineered tissues, caused by circulatory problems and insufficient angiogenesis, has been a rate-limiting step in translation of tissue-engineered grafts. To address this issue, we designed oxygen-releasing electrospun composite scaffolds, based on a previously developed hybrid polymeric matrix composed of poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). By performing ball-milling, we were able to embed a large percent of calcium peroxide (CP) nanoparticles into the PGS/PCL nanofibers able to generate oxygen. The composite scaffold exhibited a smooth fiber structure, while providing sustainable oxygen release for several days to a week, and significantly improved cell metabolic activity due to alleviation of hypoxic environment around primary bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). Moreover, the composite scaffolds also showed good antibacterial performance. In conjunction to other improved features, such as degradation behavior, the developed scaffolds are promising biomaterials for various tissue-engineering and wound-healing applications.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to develop, characterize and test a novel 3D bioscaffold matrix which can accommodate pancreatic islets and provide them with a continuous, controlled and steady source of oxygen to prevent hypoxia-induced damage following transplantation. Hence, we made a collagen based cryogel bioscaffold which incorporated calcium peroxide (CPO) into its matrix. The optimal concentration of CPO integrated into bioscaffolds was 0.25wt.% and this generated oxygen at 0.21±0.02mM/day (day 1), 0.19±0.01mM/day (day 6), 0.13±0.03mM/day (day 14), and 0.14±0.02mM/day (day 21). Accordingly, islets seeded into cryogel-CPO bioscaffolds had a significantly higher viability and function compared to islets seeded into cryogel alone bioscaffolds or islets cultured alone on traditional cell culture plates; these findings were supported by data from quantitative computational modelling. When syngeneic islets were transplanted into the epididymal fat pad (EFP) of diabetic mice, our cryogel-0.25wt.%CPO bioscaffold improved islet function with diabetic animals re-establishing glycemic control. Mice transplanted with cryogel-0.25wt.%CPO bioscaffolds showed faster responses to intraperitoneal glucose injections and had a higher level of insulin content in their EFP compared to those transplanted with islets alone (P<0.05). Biodegradability studies predicted that our cryogel-CPO bioscaffolds will have long-lasting biostability for approximately 5 years (biodegradation rate: 16.00±0.65%/year). Long term implantation studies (i.e. 6 months) showed that our cryogel-CPO bioscaffold is biocompatible and integrated into the surrounding fat tissue with minimal adverse tissue reaction; this was further supported by no change in blood parameters (i.e. electrolyte, metabolic, chemistry and liver panels). Our novel oxygen-generating bioscaffold (i.e. cryogel-0.25wt.%CPO) therefore provides a biostable and biocompatible 3D microenvironment for islets which can facilitate islet survival and function at extra-hepatic sites of transplantation.

Abstract
Erectile dysfunction caused by damage to the cavernous nerve is a common complication of radical prostatectomy for patients with localized prostate cancer. Various studies have investigated repair of damaged tissue and prevention of fibrosis in the corpus cavernosum using stem cell therapy. However, stem cell therapy has limitations, including insufficient nutrient and oxygen supply to transplanted stem cells. This study investigated whether stem cell/oxygen-releasing hollow microparticles (HPs) had therapeutic effect on erectile dysfunction in a rat model of bilateral cavernous nerve injury (BCNI). Therapeutic effects were observed in the BCNI model at 1, 2, and 4 weeks postcavernous nerve injury. Erectile function further improved after treatment with stem cell/oxygen-releasing HP system compared with treatment with only stem cells at 4 weeks. Stem cell/oxygen-releasing HP system increased cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) level and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 3 (M3) expression while decreasing fibrosis and apoptosis in the corpus cavernosum. Our results clearly show that stem cell survival increases around transplanted stem cell/oxygen-releasing hybrid system site. Taken together, an oxygen-releasing HP system supported prolonged stem cell survival, sustaining the paracrine effect of the stem cells, and consequently enhancing erectile function. These findings show promise with regard to prolonged stem cell survival in stem cell applications for various diseases and types of tissue damage. Impact statement In this study, we used an oxygen-releasing hollow microparticles (HPs) system with stem cells to attempt to overcome certain limitations of stem cell therapy, including insufficient nutrient and oxygen supplies for transplanted stem cells. Our results demonstrated that a stem cell/oxygen-releasing HP hybrid system could further improve erectile function, cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) level, and NOS level in a bilateral cavernous nerve injury rat model through prolonged stem cell survival. Our data suggest that a stem cell/oxygen-releasing HP system is a promising clinical treatment option for postprostatectomy erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, this system may be relevant in different disease therapies and regenerative medicine.

[PMID: 31954189 PMCID: PMC7098391 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.01.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Revised: 12/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Cell therapy is a promising approach for ischemic tissue regeneration. However, high death rate of delivered cells under low oxygen condition, and poor cell retention in tissues largely limit the therapeutic efficacy. Using cell carriers with high oxygen preservation has potential to improve cell survival. To increase cell retention, cell carriers that can quickly solidify at 37 °C so as to efficiently immobilize the carriers and cells in the tissues are necessary. Yet there lacks cell carriers with these combined properties. In this work, we have developed a family of high oxygen preservation and fast gelation hydrogels based on N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) copolymers. The hydrogels were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of NIPAAm, acrylate-oligolactide (AOLA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and methacrylate-poly(ethylene glycol)-perfluorooctane (MAPEGPFC). The hydrogel solutions exhibited sol-gel temperatures around room temperature and were flowable and injectable at 4°C. They can quickly solidify (≤6 s) at 37°C to form flexible gels. These hydrogels lost 9.4~29.4% of their mass after incubation in Dulbecco's Phosphate-Buffered Saline (DPBS) for 4 weeks. The hydrogels exhibited a greater oxygen partial pressure than DPBS after being transferred from a 21% O2 condition to a 1% O2 condition. When bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were encapsulated in the hydrogels and cultured under 1% O2, the cells survived and proliferated during the 14-day culture period. In contrast, the cells experienced extensive death in the control hydrogel that had low oxygen preservation capability. The hydrogels possessed excellent biocompatibility. The final degradation products did not provoke cell death even when the concentration was as high as 15 mg/ml, and the hydrogel implantation did not induce substantial inflammation. These hydrogels are promising as cell carriers for cell transplantation into ischemic tissues. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Stem cell therapy for ischemic tissues experiences low therapeutic efficacy largely due to poor cell survival under low oxygen condition. Using cell carriers with high oxygen preservation capability has potential to improve cell survival. In this work, we have developed a family of hydrogels with this property. These hydrogels promoted the encapsulated stem cell survival and growth under low oxygen condition.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:E1699.

Abstract
The progress of wound regeneration relies on inflammation management, while neovascular angiogenesis is a critical aspect of wound healing. In this study, the bioactive core and corona synergism of quantized gold (QG) were developed to simultaneously address these complicated issues, combining the abilities to eliminate endotoxins and provide oxygen. The QG was constructed from ultrasmall nanogold and a loosely packed amine-based corona via a simple process, but it could nonetheless eliminate endotoxins (a vital factor in inflammation also called lipopolysaccharides) and provide oxygen in situ for the remodeling of wound sites. Even while capturing endotoxins through electrostatic interactions, the catalytic active sites inside the nanogold could maintain its surface accessibility to automatically transform the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide in hypoxic wound regions into oxygen. Since the inflammatory stage is an essential stage of wound healing, the provision of endotoxin clearance by the outer organic corona of the QG could slow inflammation in a way that subsequently promoted two other important stages of wound bed healing, namely proliferation and remodeling. Relatedly, the efficacy of two forms of the QG, a liquid form and a dressing form, was demonstrated at wound sites in this study, with both forms promoting the development of granulation, including angiogenesis and collagen deposition. Thus, the simply fabricated dual function nanocomposite presented herein not only offers reduced batch-to-batch variation but also increased options for homecare treatments.

Abstract
In critical limb ischemia (CLI), overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and impairment of neovascularization contribute to muscle damage and limb loss. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNP, or 'nanoceria') possess oxygen-modulating properties which have shown therapeutic utility in various disease models. Here we show that CNP exhibit pro-angiogenic activity in a mouse hindlimb ischemia model, and investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the pro-angiogenic effect. CNP were injected into a ligated region of a femoral artery, and tissue reperfusion and hindlimb salvage were monitored for 3 weeks. Tissue analysis revealed stimulation of pro-angiogenic markers, maturation of blood vessels, and remodeling of muscle tissue following CNP administration. At a dose of 0.6 mg CNP, mice showed reperfusion of blood vessels in the hindlimb and a high rate of limb salvage (71%, n = 7), while all untreated mice (n = 7) suffered foot necrosis or limb loss. In vitro, CNP promoted endothelial cell tubule formation via the Ref-1/APE1 signaling pathway, and the involvement of this pathway in the CNP response was confirmed in vivo using immunocompetent and immunodeficient mice and by siRNA knockdown of APE1. These results demonstrate that CNP provide an effective treatment of CLI with excessive ROS by scavenging ROS to improve endothelial survival and by inducing Ref-1/APE1-dependent angiogenesis to revascularize an ischemic limb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The facile preparation of oxygen-generating microparticles (M) consisting of Polycaprolactone (PCL), Pluronic F-127, and calcium peroxide (CPO) (PCL-F-CPO-M) fabricated through an electrospraying process is disclosed. The biological study confirmed the positive impact from the oxygen-generating microparticles on the cell growth with high viability. The presented technology could work as a prominent tool for various tissue engineering and biomedical applications. METHODS The oxygen-generated microparticles fabricated through electrospraying processes were thoroughly characterization through various methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/SEM-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. RESULTS The analyses confirmed the presence of the various components and the porous structure of the microparticles. Spherical shape with spongy characteristic microparticles were obtained with negative charge surface (ζ = -16.9) and a size of 17.00 ± 0.34 μm. Furthermore, the biological study performed on rat chondrocytes demonstrated good cell viability and the positive impact of increasing the amount of CPO in the PCL-F-CPO-M. CONCLUSION This technological platform could work as an important tool for tissue engineering due to the ability of the microparticles to release oxygen in a sustained manner for up to 7 days with high cell viability.

Abstract
One of the main challenges hindering the clinical translation of bone tissue engineering scaffolds is the lack of establishment of functional vasculature. Insufficient vascularization and poor oxygen supply limit cell survival within the constructs resulting in poor osseointegration with the host tissue and eventually leading to inadequate bone regeneration. Inspired by cues from developmental biology, we regenerative engineered a composite matrix by incorporating calcium peroxide (CaO2 ) into poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microsphere-based matrices and sought to assess whether the delivery of the byproducts of CaO2 decomposition, namely O2 , Ca2+ , and H2 O2 could enhance the regeneration of vascularized bone tissue. The composite microspheres were successfully fabricated via the oil-in-water emulsion method. The presence and encapsulation of CaO2 was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray powder diffraction. The microspheres were further heat sintered into three-dimensional porous scaffolds and characterized for their degradation and release of byproducts. The in vitro cytocompatibility of the matrices and their ability to support osteogenic differentiation was confirmed using human adipose-derived stem cells. Lastly, an in vivo study was performed in a mouse critical-sized calvarial defect model to evaluate the capacity of these matrices in supporting vascularized bone regeneration. Results demonstrated that the presence of CaO2 increased cellularization and biological activity throughout the matrices. There was greater migration of host cells to the interior of the matrices and greater survival and persistence of donor cells after 8 weeks, which in synergy with the composite matrices led to enhanced vascularized bone regeneration.

Abstract
The advances of nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine enable the triggering of in situ chemical reactions in disease microenvironment for achieving disease-specific nanotherapeutics with both intriguing therapeutic efficacy and mitigated side effects. Metal peroxide based nanoparticles, as one of the important but generally ignored categories of metal-involved nanosystems, can function as the solid precursors to produce oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through simple chemical reactions, both of which are the important chemical species for enhancing the therapeutic outcome of versatile modalities, accompanied with the unique bioactivity of metal ion based components. This progress report summarizes and discusses the most representative paradigms of metal peroxides in chemoreactive nanomedicine, including copper peroxide (CuO2), calcium peroxide (CaO2), magnesium peroxide (MgO2), zinc peroxide (ZnO2), barium peroxide (BaO2), and titanium peroxide (TiOx) nanosystems. Their reactions and corresponding products have been broadly explored in versatile disease treatments, including catalytic nanotherapeutics, photodynamic therapy, radiation therapy, antibacterial infection, tissue regeneration, and some synergistically therapeutic applications. This progress report particularly focuses on the underlying reaction mechanisms on enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of these modalities, accompanied with the discussion on their biological effects and biosafety. The existing gap between fundamental research and clinical translation of these metal peroxide based nanotherapeutic technologies is finally discussed in depth.

Abstract
Cell replacement therapy is emerging as a promising treatment platform for many endocrine disorders and hormone deficiency diseases. The survival of cells within delivery devices is, however, often limited due to low oxygen levels in common transplantation sites. Additionally, replacing implanted devices at the end of the graft lifetime is often unfeasible and, where possible, generally requires invasive surgical procedures. Here, the design and testing of a modular transcutaneous biphasic (BP) cell delivery device that provides enhanced and unlimited oxygen supply by direct contact with the atmosphere is presented. Critically, the cell delivery unit is demountable from the fixed components of the device, allowing for surgery-free refilling of the therapeutic cells. Mass transfer studies show significantly improved performance of the BP device in comparison to subcutaneous controls. The device is also tested for islet encapsulation in an immunocompetent diabetes rodent model. Robust cell survival and diabetes correction is observed following a rat-to-mouse xenograft. Lastly, nonsurgical cell refilling is demonstrated in dogs. These studies show the feasibility of this novel device for cell replacement therapies.

Abstract
: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of β-cells in the pancreatic islets. In this regard, islet transplantation aims for the replacement of the damaged β-cells through minimally invasive surgical procedures, thereby being the most suitable strategy to cure T1DM. Unfortunately, this procedure still has limitations for its widespread clinical application, including the need for long-term immunosuppression, the lack of pancreas donors and the loss of a large percentage of islets after transplantation. To overcome the aforementioned issues, islets can be encapsulated within hydrogel-like biomaterials to diminish the loss of islets, to protect the islets resulting in a reduction or elimination of immunosuppression and to enable the use of other insulin-producing cell sources. This review aims to provide an update on the different hydrogel-based encapsulation strategies of insulin-producing cells, highlighting the advantages and drawbacks for a successful clinical application.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle tissue engineering aims to fabricate tissue constructs to replace or restore diseased or injured skeletal muscle tissues in the body. Several biomaterials and microscale technologies have been used in muscle tissue engineering. However, it is still challenging to mimic the function and structure of the native muscle tissues. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a powerful tool to mimic the hierarchical structure of native tissues. Here, 3D bioprinting was used to fabricate tissue constructs using gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-alginate bioinks. Mechanical and rheological properties of GelMA-alginate hydrogels were characterized. C2C12 myoblasts at the density 8 × 106 cells/mL were used as the cell model. The effects of alginate concentration (0, 6, and 8% (w/v)) and crosslinking mechanism (UV crosslinking or ionic crosslinking with UV crosslinking) on printability, cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation of bioinks were studied. The results showed that 10% (w/v) GelMA-8% (w/v) alginate crosslinked using UV light and 0.1 M CaCl2 provided the optimum niche to induce muscle tissue formation compared to other hydrogel compositions. Furthermore, metabolic activity of cells in GelMA bioinks was improved by addition of oxygen-generating particles to the bioinks. It is hoped that such bioprinted muscle tissues may find wide applications in drug screening and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Recent advances in cell metabolism studies have deepened the appreciation of the role of metabolic regulation in influencing cell behavior during differentiation, angiogenesis, and immune response in the regenerative engineering scenarios. However, the understanding of whether the intracellular metabolic pathways could be influenced by material-derived cues remains limited, although it is now well appreciated that material cues modulate cell functions. Here, an overview of how the regulation of different aspect of cell metabolism, including energy homeostasis, oxygen homeostasis, and redox homeostasis could contribute to modulation of cell function is provided. Furthermore, recent evidence demonstrating how material cues, including the release of inherent metabolic factors (e.g., ions, regulatory metabolites, and oxygen), tuning of the biochemical cues (e.g., inherent antioxidant properties, cell adhesivity, and chemical composition of nanomaterials), and changing in biophysical cues (topography and surface stiffness), may impact cell metabolism toward modulated cell behavior are discussed. Based on the resurgence of interest in cell metabolism and metabolic regulation, further development of biomaterials enabling metabolic regulation toward dictating cell function is poised to have substantial implications for regenerative engineering.

Abstract
Molecular containers can keep guest molecules in a confined space that is completely separated from the solution. They have wide potential applications, including selective trapping of reactive intermediates, catalysis within the cavity, and molecular delivery. Numerous molecular containers have been prepared through covalent bonds, metal-ligand interactions and H-bonding or hydrophobic interactions. Fullerenes are all-carbon molecules with a spherical structure. Partial opening of the cage structure results in open-cage fullerenes, which can serve as molecular containers for various small molecules and atoms. Compared with classical molecular containers, open-cage fullerenes exhibit some unusual phenomena because of the unique structure of the fullerene cage. The synthesis of an open-cage fullerene with a large enough orifice as a molecular container requires consecutive cleavage of multiple fullerene skeleton bonds within a local area on the cage surface. In spite of the difficulty, remarkable progress has been achieved. Several reactions have been reported to cleave fullerene C-C bonds selectively to form open-cage fullerenes, some of which have been successfully used as molecular containers for molecules such as H2O. The size and shape of the orifice play a key role in the encapsulation of the guest molecule. To date the focus in this area has been the preparation of open-cage fullerenes and encapsulation of small molecules. Little information has been reported about the functional properties of these host-guest systems. Potential applications of these systems need to be explored. This Account mainly presents our results on the encapsulation of small molecules in open-cage fullerenes prepared in my group. The preparation of our open-cage fullerenes is based on fullerene-mixed peroxides, which are briefly mentioned herein. The encapsulation and release of a single molecule of water is discussed in detail. Quantitative water encapsulation was achieved by heating the open-cage fullerene in a homogeneous CDCl3/H2O/EtOH mixture at 80 °C for 18 h. The kinetics of the water release process was studied by blackbody IR radiation-induced dissociation (BIRD) and theoretical calculations. The trapped water could also be released by H-bonding with HF. To control the encapsulation and release processes, we prepared open-cage fullerenes with a switchable stopper on the rim of the orifice. Besides H2O, encapsulations of H2, HF, CO, O2, and H2O2 were also achieved by using different open-cage fullerenes. The encapsulation of CO is quite unusual in that the trapped CO is derived from a fullerene skeleton carbon that was pushed into the cavity by oxidation under ambient conditions at room temperature. The trapped O2/H2O2 could be released slowly under mild conditions, and these systems are now being studied as a new type of oxygen-releasing materials for biomedical research. The present results demonstrate that open-cage fullerenes are suitable molecular containers for small molecules. Our future work will focus on optimizing the conditions for the preparation of open-cage fullerenes and applications of open-cage fullerenes in areas such as oxygen delivery for photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered devices have the potential to significantly improve human health. A major impediment to the success of clinically scaled transplants, however, is insufficient oxygen transport, which leads to extensive cell death and dysfunction. To provide in situ supplementation of oxygen within a cellular implant, we developed a hydrolytically reactive oxygen generating material in the form of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) encapsulated solid calcium peroxide, termed OxySite. Herein, we demonstrate, for the first time, the successful implementation of this in situ oxygen-generating biomaterial to support elevated cellular function and efficacy of macroencapsulation devices for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Under extreme hypoxic conditions, devices supplemented with OxySite exhibited substantially elevated beta cell and islet viability and function. Furthermore, the inclusion of OxySite within implanted macrodevices resulted in the significant improvement of graft efficacy and insulin production in a diabetic rodent model. Translating to human islets at elevated loading densities further validated the advantages of this material. This simple biomaterial-based approach for delivering a localized and controllable oxygen supply provides a broad and impactful platform for improving the therapeutic efficacy of cell-based approaches.

Abstract
The field of tissue engineering (TE) experiences its most exciting time in the current decade. Recent progresses in TE have made it able to translate into clinical applications. To regenerate damaged tissues, TE uses biomaterial scaffolds to prepare a suitable backbone for tissue regeneration. It is well proven that the cell-biomaterial crosstalk impacts tremendously on cell biological activities such as differentiation, proliferation, migration, and others. Clarification of exact biological effects and mechanisms of a certain material on various cell types promises to have a profound impact on clinical applications of TE. Chitosan (CS) is one of the most commonly used biomaterials with many promising characteristics such as biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, biodegradability, and others. In this review, we discuss crosstalk between CS and various cell types to provide a roadmap for more effective applications of this polymer for future uses in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Hypoxia and limited vascularization inhibit bone growth and recovery after surgical debridement to treat osteomyelitis. Similarly, despite significant efforts to create functional tissue-engineered organs, clinical success is often hindered by insufficient oxygen diffusion and poor vascularization. To overcome these shortcomings, we previously used the oxygen carrier perfluorooctane (PFO) to develop PFO emulsion-loaded hollow microparticles (PFO-HPs). PFO-HPs act as a local oxygen source that increase cell viability and maintains the osteogenic differentiation potency of human periosteum-derived cells (hPDCs) under hypoxic conditions. In the present study, we used a miniature pig model of mandibular osteomyelitis to investigate bone regeneration using hPDCs seeded on PFO-HPs (hPDCs/PFO-HP) or hPDCs seeded on phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-HPs (hPDCs/PBS-HP). Osteomyelitis is characterized by a series of microbial invasion, vascular disruption, bony necrosis, and sequestrum formation due to impaired host defense response. Sequential plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), and 3D reconstructed CT images revealed new bone formation was more advanced in defects that had been implanted with the hPDCs/PFO-HPs than in defects implanted with the hPDCs/PBS-HP. Thus, PFO-HPs are a promising tissue engineering approach to repair challenging bone defects and regenerate structurally organized bone tissue with 3D architecture.

Hypoxia mimicking hydrogels to regulate the fate of transplanted stem cells. Acta Biomater 2019; 88:314-324. [PMID: 30825603 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.02.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2018] [Revised: 02/25/2019] [Accepted: 02/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Controlling the phenotype of transplanted stem cells is integral to ensuring their therapeutic efficacy. Hypoxia is a known regulator of stem cell fate, the effects of which can be mimicked using hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors such as dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG). By releasing DMOG from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) laden alginate hydrogels, it is possible to stabilize HIF-1α and enhance its nuclear localization. This correlated with enhanced chondrogenesis and a reduction in the expression of markers associated with chondrocyte hypertrophy, as well as increased SMAD 2/3 nuclear localization in the encapsulated MSCs. In vivo, DMOG delivery significantly reduced mineralisation of the proteoglycan-rich cartilaginous tissue generated by MSCs within alginate hydrogels loaded with TGF-β3 and BMP-2. Together these findings point to the potential of hypoxia mimicking hydrogels to control the fate of stem cells following their implantation into the body. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: There are relatively few examples where in vivo delivery of adult stem cells has demonstrated a true therapeutic benefit. This may be attributed, at least in part, to a failure to control the fate of transplanted stem cells in vivo. In this paper we describe the development of hydrogels that mimic the effects of hypoxia on encapsulated stem cells. In vitro, these hydrogels enhance chondrogenesis of MSCs and suppress markers associated with chondrocyte hypertrophy. In an in vivo environment that otherwise supports progression along an endochondral pathway, we show that these hydrogels will instead direct mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to produce a more stable, cartilage-like tissue. In addition, we explore potential molecular mechanisms responsible for these phenotypic changes in MSCs.

Abstract
Biomedical engineering seeks to enhance the quality of life by developing advanced materials and technologies. Chitosan-based biomaterials have attracted significant attention because of having unique chemical structures with desired biocompatibility and biodegradability, which play different roles in membranes, sponges and scaffolds, along with promising biological properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. Therefore, chitosan derivatives have been widely used in a vast variety of uses, chiefly pharmaceuticals and biomedical engineering. It is attempted here to draw a comprehensive overview of chitosan emerging applications in medicine, tissue engineering, drug delivery, gene therapy, cancer therapy, ophthalmology, dentistry, bio-imaging, bio-sensing and diagnosis. The use of Stem Cells (SCs) has given an interesting feature to the use of chitosan so that regenerative medicine and therapeutic methods have benefited from chitosan-based platforms. Plenty of the most recent discussions with stimulating ideas in this field are covered that could hopefully serve as hints for more developed works in biomedical engineering.

Abstract
Islet transplantation is a promising long-term, compliance-free, complication-preventing treatment for type 1 diabetes. However, islet transplantation is currently limited to a narrow set of patients due to the shortage of donor islets and side effects from immunosuppression. Encapsulating cells in an immunoisolating membrane can allow for their transplantation without the need for immunosuppression. Alternatively, "open" systems may improve islet health and function by allowing vascular ingrowth at clinically attractive sites. Many processes that enable graft success in both approaches occur at the nanoscale level-in this review we thus consider nanotechnology in cell replacement therapies for type 1 diabetes. A variety of biomaterial-based strategies at the nanometer range have emerged to promote immune-isolation or modulation, proangiogenic, or insulinotropic effects. Additionally, coating islets with nano-thin polymer films has burgeoned as an islet protection modality. Materials approaches that utilize nanoscale features manipulate biology at the molecular scale, offering unique solutions to the enduring challenges of islet transplantation.

Radical Scavenging Activities of Novel Cationic Inulin Derivatives. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:polym10121295.

Abstract
Many saccharides are attractive targets for biomaterial applications, due to their abundance, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. In this article, a synthesis process of 6-N-substituted cationic inulin derivatives, including 6-pyridyl-6-deoxyinulin bromide (PIL), 6-(2-amino-pyridyl)-6-deoxyinulin bromide (2APIL), 6-(3-amino-pyridyl)-6-deoxyinulin bromide (3APIL), 6-(4-amino-pyridyl)-6-deoxyinulin bromide (4APIL), 6-(2,3-diamino-pyridyl)-6-deoxyinulin bromide (2,3DAPIL), 6-(3,4-diamino-pyridyl)-6-deoxyinulin bromide (3,4DAPIL), and 6-(2,6-diamino-pyridyl)-6-deoxyinulin bromide (2,6DAPIL) was described. The C6-OH of inulin was first activated by PPh3/N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) bromination. Then, pyridine and different kinds of amino-pyridine groups (different position and different numbers of amino) were grafted onto inulin, respectively, via nucleophilic substitution. Then, we confirmed their structure by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. After this, their radical scavenging activities against hydroxyl radical and diphenylpicryl phenylhydrazine (DPPH) radical were tested in vitro. Each derivative showed a distinct improvement in radical scavenging activity when compared to inulin. The hydroxyl-radical scavenging effect decreased in the following order: 3APIL > PIL > 3,4DAPIL > 4APIL > 2,3DAPIL > 2,6DAPIL > 2APIL. Amongst them, 3APIL revealed the most powerful scavenging effect on hydroxyl radicals, as well as DPPH radicals. At 1.6 mg/mL, it could completely eliminate hydroxyl radicals and could clear 65% of DPPH radicals. The results also showed that the steric hindrance effect and the substitute position of the amino group had an effect on the radical scavenging activity. Moreover, the application prospects of inulin derivatives as natural antioxidant biomaterials are scientifically proven in this paper.

Development of photosynthetic sutures for the local delivery of oxygen and recombinant growth factors in wounds. Acta Biomater 2018; 81:184-194.

Abstract
Surgical sutures represent the gold standard for wound closure, however, their main purpose is still limited to a mechanical function rather than playing a bioactive role. Since oxygen and pro-regenerative growth factors have been broadly described as key players for the healing process, in this study we evaluated the feasibility of generating photosynthetic sutures that, in addition to mechanical fixation, could locally and stably release oxygen and recombinant human growth factors (VEGF, PDGF-BB, or SDF-1α) at the wound site. Here, photosynthetic genetically modified microalgae were seeded in commercially available sutures and their distribution and proliferation capacity was evaluated. Additionally, the mechanical properties of seeded sutures were compared to unseeded controls that showed no significant differences. Oxygen production, as well as recombinant growth factor release was quantified in vitro over time, and confirmed that photosynthetic sutures are indeed a feasible approach for the local delivery of bioactive molecules. Finally, photosynthetic sutures were tested in order to evaluate their resistance to mechanical stress and freezing. Significant stability was observed in both conditions, and the feasibility of their use in the clinical practice was therefore confirmed. Our results suggest that photosynthetic gene therapy could be used to produce a new generation of bioactive sutures with improved healing capacities. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Disruption of the vascular network is intrinsic to trauma and surgery, and consequently, wound healing is characterized by diminished levels of blood perfusion. Among all the blood components, oxygen and pro-regenerative growth factors have been broadly described as key players for the healing process. Therefore, in this study we evaluated the feasibility of generating photosynthetic sutures that, in addition to mechanical fixation, could locally and stably release oxygen and recombinant human growth factors at the wound site. This novel concept has never been explored before for this type of material and represents the first attempt to create a new generation of bioactive sutures with improved regenerative capabilities.

Abstract
Blood transfusions, which usually consist in the administration of isolated red blood cells (RBCs), are crucial in traumatic injuries, pre-surgical conditions and anemias. Although RBCs transfusion from donors is a safe procedure, donor RBCs can only be stored for a maximum of 42 days under refrigerated conditions and, therefore, stockpiles of RBCs for use in acute disasters do not exist. With a worldwide shortage of donor blood that is expected to increase over time, the creation of oxygen-carriers with long storage life and compatibility without typing and cross-matching, persists as one of the foremost important challenges in biomedicine. However, research has so far failed to produce FDA approved RBCs substitutes (RBCSs) for human usage. As such, due to unacceptable toxicities, the first generation of oxygen-carriers has been withdrawn from the market. Being hemoglobin (Hb) the main component of RBCs, a lot of effort is being devoted in assembling semi-synthetic RBCS utilizing Hb as the oxygen-carrier component, the so-called Hb-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs). However, a native RBC also contains a multi-enzyme system to prevent the conversion of Hb into non-functional methemoglobin (metHb). Thus, the challenge for the fabrication of next-generation HBOCs relies in creating a system that takes advantage of the excellent oxygen-carrying capabilities of Hb, while preserving the redox environment of native RBCs that prevents or reverts the conversion of Hb into metHb. In this review, we feature the most recent advances in the assembly of the new generation of HBOCs with emphasis in two main approaches: the chemical modification of Hb either by cross-linking strategies or by conjugation to other polymers, and the Hb encapsulation strategies, usually in the form of lipidic or polymeric capsules. The applications of the aforementioned HBOCs as blood substitutes or for oxygen-delivery in tissue engineering are highlighted, followed by a discussion of successes, challenges and future trends in this field.

Abstract
Oxygen is a vital source of energy necessary to sustain and complete embryonic development. Not only is oxygen the driving force for many cellular functions and metabolism, but it is also involved in regulating stem cell fate, morphogenesis, and organogenesis. Low oxygen levels are the naturally preferred microenvironment for most processes during early development and mainly drive proliferation. Later on, more oxygen and also nutrients are needed for organogenesis and morphogenesis. Therefore, it is critical to maintain oxygen levels within a narrow range as required during development. Modulating oxygen tensions is performed via oxygen homeostasis mainly through the function of hypoxia-inducible factors. Through the function of these factors, oxygen levels are sensed and regulated in different tissues, starting from their embryonic state to adult development. To be able to mimic this process in a tissue engineering setting, it is important to understand the role and levels of oxygen in each developmental stage, from embryonic stem cell differentiation to organogenesis and morphogenesis. Taking lessons from native tissue microenvironments, researchers have explored approaches to control oxygen tensions such as hemoglobin-based, perfluorocarbon-based, and oxygen-generating biomaterials, within synthetic tissue engineering scaffolds and organoids, with the aim of overcoming insufficient or nonuniform oxygen levels and nutrient supply.

Abstract
Human connective tissues are complex physiological microenvironments favorable for optimal survival, function, growth, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and death of tissue cells. Mimicking native tissue microenvironment using various three-dimensional (3D) tissue culture systems in vitro has been explored for decades, with great advances being achieved recently at material, design and application levels. These achievements are based on improved understandings about the functionalities of various tissue cells, the biocompatibility and biodegradability of scaffolding materials, the biologically functional factors within native tissues, and the pathophysiological conditions of native tissue microenvironments. Here we discuss these continuously evolving physical aspects of tissue microenvironment important for human disease modeling, with a focus on tumors, as well as for tissue repair and regeneration. The combined information about human tissue spaces reflects the necessities of considerations when configuring spatial microenvironments in vitro with native fidelity to culture cells and regenerate tissues that are beyond the formats of 2D and 3D cultures. It is important to associate tissue-specific cells with specific tissues and microenvironments therein for a better understanding of human biology and disease conditions and for the development of novel approaches to treat human diseases.

Abstract
One of the biggest challenges in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is to incorporate a functioning vasculature to overcome the consequences of a lack of oxygen and nutrients in the tissue construct. Otherwise, decreased oxygen tension leads to incomplete metabolism and the formation of the so‐called reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cells have many endogenous antioxidant systems to ensure a balance between ROS and antioxidants, but if this balance is disrupted by factors such as high levels of ROS due to long‐term hypoxia, there will be tissue damage and dysfunction. Current attempts to solve the oxygen problem in the field rarely take into account the importance of the redox balance and are instead centred on releasing or generating oxygen. The first problem with this approach is that although oxygen is necessary for life, it is paradoxically also a highly toxic molecule. Furthermore, although some oxygen‐generating biomaterials produce oxygen, they also generate hydrogen peroxide, a ROS, as an intermediate product. In this review, we discuss why it would be a superior strategy to supplement oxygen delivery with molecules to safeguard the important redox balance. Redox sensor proteins that can stimulate the anaerobic metabolism, angiogenesis, and enhancement of endogenous antioxidant systems are discussed as promising targets. We propose that redox regulating biomaterials have the potential to tackle some of the challenges related to angiogenesis and that the knowledge in this review will help scientists in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine realize this aim.

Abstract
Encapsulation and delivery of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other therapeutic gases, using polymeric microcapsules (PMCs) is an emerging strategy to deliver gas as an injectable therapeutic. The gas cargo is stored within the PMC core and its release is mediated by the physiochemical properties of the capsule shell. Although use of PMCs for the rapid delivery of gases has been well described, methods which tune the material properties of PMCs for sustained release of gas are lacking. In this work, we describe a simple method for the high-yield production of gas-in-oil-filled PMCs with tunable sizes and core gas content from preformed polymers using the sequential phase separation and self-emulsification of emulsion-based templates. We demonstrate that prolonged gas release occurs from gas-in-oil PMCs loaded with oxygen and carbon dioxide gas, each of which could have significant clinical applications.

Abstract
With the advancement in biomaterial sciences, tissue-engineered scaffolds are developing as a promising strategy for the regeneration of damaged tissues. However, only a few of these scaffolds have been translated into clinical applications. One of the primary drawbacks of the existing scaffolds is the lack of adequate oxygen supply within the scaffolds. Oxygen-producing biomaterials have been developed as an alternate strategy but are faced with two major concerns. One is the control of the rate of oxygen generation, and the other is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To address these concerns, here, we report the development of an oxygen-releasing antioxidant polymeric cryogel scaffold (PUAO-CPO) for sustained oxygen delivery. PUAO-CPO scaffold was fabricated using the cryogelation technique by the incorporation of calcium peroxide (CPO) in the antioxidant polyurethane (PUAO) scaffolds. The PUAO-CPO cryogels attenuated the ROS and showed a sustained release of oxygen over a period of 10 days. An in vitro analysis of the PUAO-CPO cryogels showed their ability to sustain H9C2 cardiomyoblast cells under hypoxic conditions, with cell viability being significantly better than the normal polyurethane (PU) scaffolds. Furthermore, in vivo studies using an ischemic flap model showed the ability of the oxygen-releasing cryogel scaffolds to prevent tissue necrosis upto 9 days. Histological examination indicated the maintenance of tissue architecture and collagen content, whereas immunostaining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen confirmed the viability of the ischemic tissue with oxygen delivery. Our study demonstrated an advanced approach for the development of oxygen-releasing biomaterials with sustained oxygen delivery as well as attenuated production of residual ROS and free radicals because of ischemia or oxygen generation. Hence, the oxygen-releasing PUAO-CPO cryogel scaffolds may be used with cell-based therapeutic approaches for the regeneration of damaged tissue, particularly with ischemic conditions such as myocardial infarction and chronic wound healing.

Abstract
In the XXI century diabetes mellitus has become one of the main threats to human health with higher incidence in regions such as Europe and North America. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) occurs as a consequence of the immune-mediated destruction of insulin producing β-cells located in the endocrine part of the pancreas, the islets of Langerhans. The administration of exogenous insulin through daily injections is the most prominent treatment for T1DM but its administration is frequently associated to failure in glucose metabolism control, finally leading to hyperglycemia episodes. Other approaches have been developed in the past decades, such as whole pancreas and islet allotransplantation, but they are restricted to patients who exhibit frequent episodes of hypoglycemia or renal failure because the lack of donors and islet survival. Moreover, patients transplanted with either whole pancreas or islets require of immune suppression to avoid the rejection of the transplant. Currently, advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP), such as implantable devices, have been developed in order to reduce immune rejection response while increasing cell survival. To overcome these issues, ATMPs must promote vascularization, guaranteeing the nutritional contribution, while providing O2 until vasculature can surround the device. Moreover, it should help in the immune-protection to avoid acute and chronic rejection. The transplanted cells or islets should be embedded within biomaterials with tunable properties like injectability, stiffness and porosity mimicking natural ECM structural characteristics. And finally, an infinitive cell source that solves the donor scarcity should be found such as insulin producing cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Several companies have registered their ATMPs and future studies envision new prototypes. In this review, we will discuss the mechanisms and etiology of diabetes, comparing the clinical trials in the last decades in order to define the main characteristics for future ATMPs.
