Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CDs) are the foremost cause of death worldwide. Several promising therapeutic methods have been developed for this approach, including pharmacological, surgical intervention, cell therapy, or biomaterial implantation since heart tissue is incapable of regenerating and healing on its own. The best treatment for heart failure to date is heart transplantation and invasive surgical intervention, despite their invasiveness, donor limitations, and the possibility of being rejected by the patient's immune system. To address these challenges, research is being conducted on less invasive and efficient methods. Consequently, graphene-based materials (GBMs) have attracted a great deal of interest in the last decade because of their exceptional mechanical, electrical, chemical, antibacterial, and biocompatibility properties. An overview of GBMs' applications in the cardiovascular system has been presented in this article. Following a brief explanation of graphene and its derivatives' properties, the potential of GBMs to improve and restore cardiovascular system function by using them as cardiac tissue engineering, stents, vascular bypass grafts,and heart valve has been discussed.

The biological and therapeutic assessment of a P(3HB-co-4HB)-bioactive glass-graphene composite biomaterial for tissue regeneration. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35441. [PMID: 38923274 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
An ideal wound dressing should create a healing environment that relieves pain, protects against infections, maintains moisture, removes debris, and speeds up wound closure and repair. However, conventional options like gauze often fall short in fulfilling these requirements, especially for chronic or nonhealing wounds. Hence there is a critical need for inventive formulations that offer efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternatives. This study focuses on assessing the innovative formulation based on a microbial-derived copolymer known as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate), P(3HB-co-4HB) bioactive glass and graphene particles, and exploring their biological response in vitro and in vivo-to find the best combination that promotes cell adhesion and enhances wound healing. The formulation optimized at concentration of bioactive glass (1 w/w%) and graphene (0.01 w/w%) showed accelerated degradation and enhanced blood vessel formation. Meanwhile biocompatibility was evaluated using murine osteoblasts, human dermal fibroblasts, and standard cell culture assays, demonstrating no adverse effects after 7 days of culture and well-regulated inflammatory kinetics. Whole thickness skin defect using mice indicated the feasibility of the biocomposites for a faster wound closure and reduced inflammation. Overall, this biocomposite appears promising as an ideal wound dressing material and positively influencing wound healing rates.

Clinical potential of plasma-functionalized graphene oxide ultrathin sheets for bone and blood vessel regeneration: Insights from cellular and animal models. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 161:213867. [PMID: 38669824 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Graphene and graphene oxide (GO), due to their unique chemical and physical properties, possess biochemical characteristics that can trigger intercellular signals promoting tissue regeneration. Clinical applications of thin GO-derived sheets have inspired the development of various tissue regeneration and repair approaches. In this study, we demonstrate that ultrathin sheets of plasma-functionalized and reduced GO, with the oxygen content ranging from 3.2 % to 22 % and the nitrogen content from 0 % to 8.3 %, retain their essential mechanical and molecular integrity, and exhibit robust potential for regenerating bone tissue and blood vessels across multiple cellular and animal models. Initially, we observed the growth of blood vessels and bone tissue in vitro using these functionalized GO sheets on human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and umbilical vein endothelial cells. Remarkably, our study indicates a 2.5-fold increase in mineralization and two-fold increase in tubule formation even in media lacking osteogenic and angiogenic supplements. Subsequently, we observed the initiation, conduction, and formation of bone and blood vessels in a rat tibial osteotomy model, evident from a marked 4-fold increase in the volume of low radio-opacity bone tissue and a significant elevation in connectivity density, all without the use of stem cells or growth factors. Finally, we validated these findings in a mouse critical-size calvarial defect model (33 % higher healing rate) and a rat skin lesion model (up to 2.5-fold increase in the number of blood vessels, and 35 % increase in blood vessels diameter). This study elucidates the pro-osteogenic and pro-angiogenic properties of both pristine and plasma-treated GO ultrathin films. These properties suggest their significant potential for clinical applications, and as valuable biomaterials for investigating fundamental aspects of bone and blood vessel regeneration.

Abstract
Anti-osteoporotic agents are clinically employed to improve bone health and prevent osteoporotic fractures. In the current study, we investigated the potential of chitosan-quercetin bio-conjugate as an anti-osteoporotic agent. The conjugate was prepared and characterized by FTIR and found notable interactions between chitosan and quercetin. Treating mouse MSCs with the bioconjugate in osteogenic conditions for a week led to elevated expression of differentiation markers Runx2, ALP, and Col-I, as determined by real-time PCR analysis. Evaluation at the cellular level using alizarin red staining demonstrated enhanced calcium deposition in MSCs following treatment with the bioconjugate. Likewise, ELISA analysis showed significantly elevated levels of secretory osteocalcin and osteonectin in groups treated with the conjugate. To broaden our comprehension, we utilized a zebrafish-based in vivo model of dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis to investigate bone regeneration. Toxicity profiling with zebrafish larvae confirmed the bio-conjugate's compatibility at a concentration of 25 μg/ml, underscoring the significance of finding the right dosage. Furthermore, in zebrafish models of osteoporosis, the bio-conjugate demonstrated significant potential for bone regeneration, as indicated by improved bone calcification, callus formation, and overall bone healing in a tail fin fracture model. Additionally, the study revealed that the bio-conjugate inhibited osteoclastic activity, leading to reduced TRAP activity and hydroxyproline release, suggesting its effectiveness in mitigating bone resorption. In conclusion, our research provides compelling evidence for the osteogenic capabilities of the chitosan-quercetin bio-conjugate, highlighting its promising applications in regenerative medicine and the treatment of conditions like osteoporosis.

Abstract
The cryopreservation and transplantation of ovarian tissue underscore its paramount importance in safeguarding reproductive capacity and ameliorating reproductive disorders. However, challenges persist in ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation (OTC-T), including the risk of tissue damage and dysfunction. Consequently, there has been a compelling exploration into the realm of nanoregulators to refine and enhance these procedures. This review embarks on a meticulous examination of the intricate anatomical structure of the ovary and its microenvironment, thereby establishing a robust groundwork for the development of nanomodulators. It systematically categorizes nanoregulators and delves deeply into their functions and mechanisms, meticulously tailored for optimizing ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation. Furthermore, the review imparts valuable insights into the practical applications and obstacles encountered in clinical settings associated with OTC-T. Moreover, the review advocates for the utilization of microbially derived nanomodulators as a potent therapeutic intervention in ovarian tissue cryopreservation. The progression of these approaches holds the promise of seamlessly integrating nanoregulators into OTC-T practices, thereby heralding a new era of expansive applications and auspicious prospects in this pivotal domain.

Abstract
Graphene family nanomaterials (GFNs) have attracted considerable attention in diverse fields from engineering and electronics to biomedical applications because of their distinctive physicochemical properties such as large specific surface area, high mechanical strength, and favorable hydrophilic nature. Moreover, GFNs have demonstrated the ability to create an anti-inflammatory environment and exhibit antibacterial effects. Consequently, these materials hold immense potential in facilitating cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, further promoting the repair and regeneration of various tissues, including bone, nerve, oral, myocardial, and vascular tissues. Note that challenges still persist in current applications, including concerns regarding biosecurity risks, inadequate adhesion performance, and unsuitable degradability as matrix materials. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current advancements in the utilization of GFNs in regenerative medicine, as well as their molecular mechanism and signaling targets in facilitating tissue repair and regeneration. Future research prospects for GFNs, such as potential in promoting ocular tissue regeneration, are also discussed in details. We hope to offer a valuable reference for the clinical application of GFNs in the treatment of bone defects, nerve damage, periodontitis, and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Due to its biofunctions similar to NO, the CO gas signaling molecule has gradually shown great potential in cardiovascular biomaterials for regulating the in vivo performances after the implantation and has received increasing attention. To construct a bioactive surface with CO-releasing properties on the surface of magnesium-based alloy to augment the anticorrosion and biocompatibility, graphene oxide (GO) was firstly modified using carboxymethyl chitosan (CS), and then CO-releasing molecules (CORM401) were introduced to synthesize a novel biocompatible nanomaterial (GOCS-CO) that can release CO in the physiological environments. The GOCS-CO was further immobilized on the magnesium alloy surface modified by polydopamine coating with Zn2+ (PDA/Zn) to create a bioactive surface capable of releasing CO in the physiological environment. The outcomes showed that the CO-releasing coating can not only significantly enhance the anticorrosion and abate the corrosion degradation rate of the magnesium alloy in a simulated physiological environment, but also endow it with good hydrophilicity and a certain ability to adsorb albumin selectively. Owing to the significant enhancement of anticorrosion and hydrophilicity, coupled with the bioactivity of GOCS, the modified sample not only showed excellent ability to prevent platelet adhesion and activation and reduce hemolysis rate but also can promote endothelial cell (EC) adhesion, proliferation as well as the expression of nitric oxide (NO) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In the case of CO release, the hemocompatibility and EC growth behaviors were further significantly improved, suggesting that CO molecules released from the surface can significantly improve the hemocompatibility and EC growth. Consequently, the present study provides a novel surface modification method that can simultaneously augment the anticorrosion and biocompatibility of magnesium-based alloys, which will strongly promote the research and application of CO-releasing bioactive coatings for surface functionalization of cardiovascular biomaterials and devices.

Abstract
Developing hybrid hydrogel dressings with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, angiogenetic, and antibiofilm activities with higher bone tissue penetrability to accelerate diabetic wound healing and prevent diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) is highly desirable in managing diabetic wounds. Herein, the glycopeptide teicoplanin is used for the first time as a green reductant to chemically reduce graphene oxide (GO). The resulting teicoplanin-decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is incorporated into a mixture of silk proteins (SP) and crosslinked with genipin to yield a physicochemically crosslinked rGO-SP hybrid hydrogel. This hybrid hydrogel exhibits high porosity, self-healing, shear-induced thinning, increased cell proliferation and migration, and mechanical properties suitable for tissue engineering. Moreover, the hybrid hydrogel eradicates bacterial biofilms with a high penetrability index in agar and hydroxyapatite disks covered with biofilms, mimicking bone tissue. In vivo, the hybrid hydrogel accelerates the healing of noninfected wounds in a diabetic rat and infected wounds in a diabetic mouse by upregulating anti-inflammatory cytokines and downregulating matrix metalloproteinase-9, promoting M2 macrophage polarization and angiogenesis. The implantation of hybrid hydrogel into the infected site of mouse tibia improves bone regeneration. Hence, the rGO-SP hybrid hydrogel can be a promising wound dressing for treating infectious diabetic wounds, providing a further advantage in preventing DFO.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) are one of the most common nerve injuries, and graphene oxide (GO) has demonstrated significant potential in the treatment of PNI. GO could enhance the proliferation, adhesion, migration, and differentiation of neuronal cells by upregulating the expression of relevant proteins, and regulate the angiogenesis process and immune response. Therefore, GO is a suitable additional component for fabricating artificial nerve scaffolds (ANS), in which the slight addition of GO could improve the physicochemical performance of the matrix materials, through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attraction. GO-composited ANS can increase the expression of nerve regeneration-associated genes and factors, promoting angiogenesis by activating the RAS/MAPK and AKT-eNOS-VEGF signaling pathway, respectively. Moreover, GO could be metabolized and excreted from the body through the pathway of peroxidase degradation in vivo. Consequently, the application of GO in PNI regeneration exhibits significant potential for transitioning from laboratory research to clinical use.

Abstract
Endogenous gasotransmitter nitric oxide (NO) is a central signalling molecule that modulates wound healing by maintaining homeostasis, collagen formation, wound contraction, anti-microbial action and accelerating tissue regeneration. The optimum delivery of NO using nanoparticles (NPs) is clinically challenging; hence, it is drawing significant attention in wound healing. Herein, a novel polymeric nanoplatform loaded with sodium nitroprusside (SP) NPs was prepared and used for wound healing to obtain the sustained release of NO in therapeutic quantities. SP NPs-induced excellent proliferation (∼300%) of mouse fibroblast (L929) cells was observed. With an increase in the SP NPs dose at 200 μg mL-1 concentration, a 200% upsurge in proliferation was observed along with enhanced migration, and only 17.09 h were required to fill the 50% gap compared to 37.85 h required by the control group. Further, SP NPs showed an insignificant impact on the coagulation cascade, revealing safe wound-healing treatment when tested in isolated rat RBCs. Additionally, SP NPs exhibited excellent angiogenic activity at a 10 μg mL-1 dose. Moreover, the formulated SP nanoformulation is non-irritant, non-toxic, and does not produce any skin sensitivity reaction on the rat's skin. Further, an in vivo wound healing study revealed that within 11 days of treatment with SP nanoformulation, 99.2 ± 1.0% of the wound was closed, while in the control group, only 45.5 ± 3.8% was repaired. These results indicate that owing to sustained NO release, the SP NP and SP nanoformulations are paramount with enormous clinical potential for the regeneration of wound tissues.

Abstract
The nasty urine microenvironment (UME) is an inherent obstacle that hinders urethral repair due to fibrosis and swelling of the oftentimes adopted hydrogel-based biomaterials. Here, using reduced graphene oxide (rGO) along with double-freeze-drying to strengthen a 3D-printed patch is reported to realize scarless urethral repair. The sodium alginate/gelatin/reduced graphene oxide (SA/Gel/rGO) biomaterial features tunable stiffness, degradation profile, and anti-fibrosis performance. Interestingly, the 3D-printed alginate-containing composite scaffold is able to respond to Ca2+ present in the urine, leading to enhanced structural stability and strength as well as inhibiting swelling. The investigations present that the swelling behaviors, mechanical properties, and anti-fibrosis efficacy of the SA/Gel/rGO patch can be modulated by varying the concentration of rGO. In particular, rGO in optimal concentration shows excellent cell viability, migration, and proliferation. In-depth mechanistic studies reveal that the activation of cell proliferation and angiogenesis-related proteins, along with inhibition of fibrosis-related gene expressions, play an important role in scarless repair by the 3D-printed SA/Gel/rGO patch via promoting urothelium growth, accelerating angiogenesis, and minimizing fibrosis in vivo. The proposed strategy has the potential of resolving the dilemma of necessary biomaterial stiffness and unwanted fibrosis in urethral repair.

Biotechnol J 2024; 19:e2300531. [PMID: 38013667 DOI: 10.1002/biot.202300531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
Wound healing is a multifaceted biological process requiring innovative strategies to enhance efficiency and counter infections. In this groundbreaking study, we investigate the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) integrated into a gelatin (GLT) scaffold along with nanocomposites of titanium dioxide (TiO2) (P25)/single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)/Ag and P25/reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/Ag. Incorporating these advanced materials into the PRP/GLT delivery system aims to optimize the controlled release of growth factors (GFs) and leverage the exceptional properties of nanomaterials for enhanced tissue repair and wound healing outcomes. Antioxidant activity assessment using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity reveals the superior performance of P25/SWCNTs/Ag compared to P25/rGO/Ag. Their synergistic effects are evaluated in conjunction with antibacterial and antifungal antibiotics. Furthermore, the wound healing potential of P25/SWCNTs/Ag and P25/rGO/Ag, combined with PRP/GLT, is examined. Notably, both nanocomposites exhibit promising synergistic effects with gentamicin and fluconazole against pathogenic strains. Significantly, the inclusion of non-activated PRP substantially augments the wound healing efficacy of P25/SWCNTs/Ag on days 3 (p < 0.01) and 15 (p < 0.05). These findings pave the way for advanced wound dressing and therapeutic interventions, capitalizing on the synergistic effects of PRP and nanomaterials, thus ultimately benefiting patients and advancing regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting offers promising solutions to the complex challenge of vascularization in biofabrication, thereby enhancing the prospects for clinical translation of engineered tissues and organs. While existing reviews have touched upon 3D bioprinting in vascularized tissue contexts, the current review offers a more holistic perspective, encompassing recent technical advancements and spanning the entire multistage bioprinting process, with a particular emphasis on vascularization. The synergy between 3D bioprinting and vascularization strategies is crucial, as 3D bioprinting can enable the creation of personalized, tissue-specific vascular network while the vascularization enhances tissue viability and function. The review starts by providing a comprehensive overview of the entire bioprinting process, spanning from pre-bioprinting stages to post-printing processing, including perfusion and maturation. Next, recent advancements in vascularization strategies that can be seamlessly integrated with bioprinting are discussed. Further, tissue-specific examples illustrating how these vascularization approaches are customized for diverse anatomical tissues towards enhancing clinical relevance are discussed. Finally, the underexplored intraoperative bioprinting (IOB) was highlighted, which enables the direct reconstruction of tissues within defect sites, stressing on the possible synergy shaped by combining IOB with vascularization strategies for improved regeneration.

Abstract
Background Multiple stages including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling were involved in the wound healing process. The increase in nanomaterials in recent years has extended the scope of tools for wound healing; however, it is still difficult to achieve the four multistage procedures simultaneously. Materials and Methods In this study, graphene-spiky silica heterostructured nanoparticles (GS) were synthesized for the procedural acceleration of the multistage in wound healing process. The nanobridge effect of GS was analyzed through the adhesion of two skins, the antibacterial effect was assessed in Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria, cell proliferation and migration were investigated in mouse embryonic fibroblast (NIH-3T3) cells, and the in vivo wound healing effect was examined in female BALB/c mice with a cutting wound and E. coli or S. aureus bacteria infection on the back. Results First, GS has a strong nanobridge effect on the rapid closure of wounds because the spiky architecture on the surface of GS facilitates the adhesion of skins, promoting the hemostasis stage. Second, graphene exhibits antimicrobial activities both in chemical and physical interactions, especially under simulated sunlight irradiation. Third, graphene plays an important role in scaffolding function, together with the spiky topographical architecture of GS, accelerating the proliferation and maturation stages. Conclusion By periodically promoting every stage of wound healing, GS combined with simulated sunlight irradiation could significantly accelerate wound healing. With a simple composition and compact structure but multiple functions, this strategy will be the guideline for the development of ideal wound-healing nanomaterials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases, particularly myocardial infarction (MI), are the leading cause of death worldwide and a major contributor to disability. Cardiac tissue engineering is a promising approach for preventing functional damage or improving cardiac function after MI. We aimed to introduce a novel electroactive cardiac patch based on reduced graphene oxide-coated alginate scaffolds due to the promising functional behavior of electroactive biomaterials to regulate cell proliferation, biocompatibility, and signal transition. METHODS The fabrication of novel electroactive cardiac patches based on alginate (ALG) coated with different concentrations of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using sodium hydrosulfite is described here. The prepared scaffolds were thoroughly tested for their physicochemical properties and cytocompatibility. ALG-rGO scaffolds were also tested for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Subcutaneous implantation in mice was used to evaluate the scaffolds' ability to induce angiogenesis. RESULTS The Young modulus of the scaffolds was increased by increasing the rGO concentration from 92 ± 4.51 kPa for ALG to 431 ± 4.89 kPa for ALG-rGO-4 (ALG coated with 0.3% w/v rGO). The scaffolds' tensile strength trended similarly. The electrical conductivity of coated scaffolds was calculated in the semi-conductive range (~ 10-4 S/m). Furthermore, when compared to ALG scaffolds, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured on ALG-rGO scaffolds demonstrated improved cell viability and adhesion. Upregulation of VEGFR2 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels confirmed that rGO coating significantly boosted the angiogenic capability of ALG against HUVECs. OD620 assay and FE-SEM observation demonstrated the antibacterial properties of electroactive scaffolds against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pyogenes. We also showed that the prepared samples possessed antioxidant activity using a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay and UV-vis spectroscopy. Histological evaluations confirmed the enhanced vascularization properties of coated samples after subcutaneous implantation. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that ALG-rGO is a promising scaffold for accelerating the repair of damaged heart tissue.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have been widely used in the field of tissue regeneration and various biomedical applications. In order to use these nanomaterials in organisms, it is imperative to possess an understanding of their impact on different cell types. Due to the potential of these nanomaterials to enter the bloodstream, interact with the endothelium and accumulate within diverse tissues, it is highly relevant to probe them when in contact with the cellular components of the vascular system. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), involved in blood vessel formation, have great potential for tissue engineering and offer great advantages to study the possible angiogenic effects of biomaterials. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces angiogenesis and regulates vascular permeability, mainly activating VEGFR2 on endothelial cells. The effects of GO and two types of reduced GO, obtained after vacuum-assisted thermal treatment for 15 min (rGO15) and 30 min (rGO30), on porcine endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) functionality were assessed by analyzing the nanomaterial intracellular uptake, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and VEGFR2 expression by EPCs. The results evidence that short annealing (15 and 30 minutes) at 200 °C of GO resulted in the mitigation of both the increased ROS production and decline in VEGFR2 expression of EPCs upon GO exposure. Interestingly, after 72 hours of exposure to rGO30, VEGFR2 was higher than in the control culture, suggesting an early angiogenic potential of rGO30. The present work reveals that discrete variations in the reduction of GO may significantly affect the response of porcine endothelial progenitor cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE Targeted Graphene Oxide (GO) nanoparticles can play an important role in the treatment of cancer by increasing cancer cell targeting. This study was conducted to synthesize GO nanoparticles functionalized with chitosan-folate (CS-FA) to deliver a natural product Lawsone (LA) for cancer treatment. METHODS After characterization of the LA-GO-CS-FA, antioxidant activities of the nanoparticles were investigated by ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP tests. CAM assay was used to study the effect of nanoparticles on angiogenesis. The expression level of inflammatory and angiogenic genes in cells treated with nanoparticles was evaluated by real-time PCR. RESULTS The findings demonstrated the formation of nanoparticles with a size of 113.3 nm, a PDI of 0.31, and a surface charge of + 11.07 mV. The percentages of encapsulation efficiency were reported at 93%. Gastric cancer cells were reported as the most sensitive to treatment compared to the control, and the gastric cancer cells were used to study gene expression changes. The anti-angiogenic effects of nanoparticles were confirmed by reducing the average number and length of blood vessels and reducing the height and weight of embryos in the CAM assay. The reducing the expression of genes involved in angiogenesis in real-time PCR was demonstrated. Nanoparticles displayed high antioxidant properties by inhibiting DPPH and ABTS radicals and reducing iron ions in the FRAP method. The reduction of pro-inflammatory genes in AGS cells which were treated with nanoparticles indicates the anti-inflammatory properties of nanoparticles. CONCLUSION This study showed the efficacy of nanoparticles in inhibiting gastric cancer cells by relying on inhibiting angiogenesis.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries and among older populations. Conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have limitations such as low sensitivity, high cost and side effects. Nanotechnology offers promising alternative strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD by exploiting the unique properties of nanomaterials. In this review, we use bibliometric analysis to identify research hotspots in the application of nanotechnology in CHD and provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art. Nanomaterials with enhanced imaging and biosensing capabilities can improve the early detection of CHD through advanced contrast agents and high-resolution imaging techniques. Moreover, nanomaterials can facilitate targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering and modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress, thus addressing multiple aspects of CHD pathophysiology. We discuss the application of nanotechnology in CHD diagnosis (imaging and sensors) and treatment (regulation of macrophages, cardiac repair, anti-oxidative stress), and provide insights into future research directions and clinical translation. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to harness the potential of nanotechnology in the management of CHD.

Abstract
Overcoming bacterial infections and promoting wound healing are significant challenges in clinical practice and fundamental research. This study developed a series of enzymatic crosslinking injectable hydrogels based on silk fibroin (SF), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and agarose, with the addition of polydopamine functionalized graphene oxide (GO@PDA) to endow the hydrogel with suitable conductivity and antimicrobial activity. The hydrogels exhibited suitable gelation time, stable mechanical and rheological properties, high water absorbency, and hemostatic properties. Biocompatibility was also confirmed through various assays. After loading the antibiotic vancomycin hydrochloride, the hydrogels showed sustained release and good antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The fast gelation time and desirable tissue-covering ability of the hydrogels allowed for a good hemostatic effect in a rat liver trauma model. In a rat full-thickness burn wound model, the hydrogels exhibited an excellent treatment effect, leading to significantly enhanced wound closure, collagen deposition, and granulation tissue formation, as well as neovascularization and anti-inflammatory effects. In conclusion, the antibacterial electroactive injectable hydrogel dressing, with its multifunctional properties, significantly promoted the in vivo wound healing process, making it an excellent candidate for full-thickness skin wound healing.

Abstract
Wound dressing with poor antibacterial properties, the tendency to adhere to the wound site, poor mechanical strength, and lack of porosity and flexibility are the major cause of blood loss, delayed wound repair, and sometimes causes death during the trauma or injury. In such cases, hydrogel-based antibacterial wound dressing would be a boon to the existing dressing as the moist environment will maintain the cooling temperate and proper exchange of atmosphere around the wound. In the present study, the multifunctional graphene with silver and ε-Poly-l-lysine reinforced into the chitosan matrix (CGAPL) was prepared as a nanobiocomposite wound dressing. The contact angle measurement depicted the hydrophilic property of CGAPL nanobiocomposite dressing (water contact angle 42°), while the mechanical property was 78.9 MPa. The antibacterial and cell infiltration study showed the antimicrobial property of CGAPL nanobiocomposite wound dressing. It also demonstrated no cytotoxicity to the L929 fibroblast cells. Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) assay showed the pro-angiogenic potential of CGAPL nanobiocomposite wound dressing. In-vitro scratch wound assay confirmed the migration of cells and increased cell adhesion and proliferation within 18 h of culture on the surface of CGAPL nanobiocomposite dressing. Later, the in-vivo study in the Wistar rat model showed that CGAPL nanobiocomposite dressing significantly enhanced the wound healing process as compared to the commercially available wound dressing Tegaderm (p-value <0.01) and Fibroheal@Ag (p-value <0.005) and obtained complete wound closure in 14 days. Histology study further confirmed the complete healing process, re-epithelization, and thick epidermis tissue formation. The proposed CGAPL nanobiocomposite wound dressing thus offers a novel wound dressing material with an efficient and faster wound healing property.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of death worldwide. Despite significant advances in pharmacological treatments and surgical interventions to restore heart function after myocardial infarction, it can progress to heart failure due to the restricted inherent potential of adult cardiomyocytes to self-regenerate. Hence, the evolution of new therapeutic methods is critical. Nowadays, novel approaches in tissue engineering have assisted in restoring biological and physical specifications of the injured myocardium and, hence, cardiac function. The incorporation of a supporting matrix that could mechanically and electronically support the heart tissue and stimulate the cells to proliferate and regenerate will be advantageous. Electroconductive nanomaterials can facilitate intracellular communication and aid synchronous contraction via electroactive substrate creation, preventing the issue of arrhythmia in the heart. Among a wide range of electroconductive materials, graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs) are promising for cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) due to their outstanding features including high mechanical strength, angiogenesis, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, low cost, and scalable fabrication. In the present review, we discuss the effect of applying GBNs on angiogenesis, proliferation, and differentiation of implanted stem cells, their antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and their role in improving the electrical and mechanical properties of the scaffolds for CTE. Also, we summarize the recent research that has applied GBNs in CTE. Finally, we present a concise discussion on the challenges and prospects.

Abstract
The reconstruction of blood vessels plays a critical role in the tissue regeneration process. However, existing wound dressings in tissue engineering face challenges due to inadequate revascularization induction and a lack of vascular structure. In this study, we report the modification of mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) with liquid crystal (LC) to enhance bioactivity and biocompatibility in vitro. This LC modification facilitated crucial cellular processes such as the proliferation, migration, spreading, and expression of angiogenesis-related genes and proteins in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, we incorporated LC-modified MSN within a hydrogel matrix to create a multifunctional dressing that combines the biological benefits of LC-MSN with the mechanical advantages of a hydrogel. Upon application to full-thickness wounds, these composite hydrogels exhibited accelerated healing, evidenced by enhanced granulation tissue formation, increased collagen deposition, and improved vascular development. Our findings suggest that the LC-MSN hydrogel formulation holds significant promise for the repair and regeneration of soft tissues.

Abstract
In synthetic fabrication, the process parameters decide the growth nucleation, phase translation, and the evolution of morphological facets of nanostructured materials. This work demonstrates the formation of different crystallographic phases of calcium phosphate by the influence of pH from acidic to alkaline conditions and also investigated their bone regeneration, protein adsorption, and pro-angiogenic properties. Present results illustrate that the alteration of pH is the crucial factor for the synthesis of calcium phosphate (CP) phases. The structural analysis reveals the monetite (CaHPO4 ) phase with a triclinic crystal system for pH 5, dual-phase of monetite combined with hydroxyapatite at the neutral pH 7, and pure phase of hydroxyapatite (Ca10 [PO4 ]6 OH2 ) with hexagonal structure at pH 10. Microscopic analysis portrays the cubic and rod-like morphologies by changing the pH values. FTIR and RAMAN spectroscopic analyses confirm the stretching, bending, and vibrational modes of dominant phosphate groups of different CP phases. Further, the biocompatibility of the prepared CP phases was examined by hemolysis assay, which showed less than 2% of lysis and enhanced cell viability. Moreover, the bioactivity study revealed rapid mineralization and a higher protein adsorption rate for the monetite CP phase (M-CP). Subsequently, the chick embryo angiogenesis assay elucidated 33% higher neovascularization for M-CP compared with the other two CP phases. The fabricated M-CP nanostructure constitutes a promising candidate for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Asymmetric wound dressings have captured researchers' attention due to their ability to reproduce the structural and functional properties of the skin layers. Furthermore, recent studies also report the benefits of using near-infrared (NIR) radiation-activated photothermal therapies in treating infections and chronic wounds. Herein, a chitosan (CS) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hydrogel (CS_rGO) was combined with a polycaprolactone (PCL) and cellulose acetate (CA) electrospun membrane (PCL_CA) to create a new NIR-responsive asymmetric wound dressing. The rGO incorporation in the hydrogel increased the NIR absorption capacity and allowed a mild hyperthermy effect, a temperature increase of 12.4 °C when irradiated with a NIR laser. Moreover, the PCL_CA membrane presented a low porosity and hydrophobic nature, whereas the CS_rGO hydrogel showed the ability to provide a moist environment, prevent exudate accumulation and allow gaseous exchanges. Furthermore, the in vitro data demonstrate the capacity of the asymmetric structure to act as a barrier against bacteria penetration as well as mediating a NIR-triggered antibacterial effect. Additionally, human fibroblasts were able to adhere and proliferate in the CS_rGO hydrogel, even under NIR laser irradiation, presenting cellular viabilities superior to 90 %. Altogether, our data support the application of the NIR-responsive asymmetric wound dressings for skin regeneration.

Abstract
Peripheral nerves participate in bone growth and repair by secreting neurotransmitters, and enable new bone to possess physiological bone-sensing capability. However, it is difficult to achieve synchronized nerve regeneration during the healing process of large bone defects at present. As a bioactive nanomaterial, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can promote neuronal differentiation and myelination of Schwann cells (SCs), while enhancing the adhesion and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) through its strong non-covalent binding ability. In this study, 3D printing-based rGO/GelMA hydrogels with enhanced osteogenic and neurogenic dual differentiation were used to simultaneously load SCs and BMSCs. By changing the concentration of rGO(0.03%/0.05%/0.1%), the compressive strength, rheological properties and aperture of the hydrogel can be improved. In vitro, cell live/death staining, phalloidin staining and SEM showed that cells loaded on the hydrogel had a high survival rate (85%) and good adhesion ability. In vivo, we found that the rGO/GelMA hydrogel exhibited the same low inflammatory response compared to the pure-GelMA group and the cell-only group, but surrounded by collagen fibers. Meanwhile, the osteogenic and neural proteins in the rGO/GelMA group were found to be highly expressed in immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. In this study, a scaffold material containing double cells was used to promote synergistic regeneration of nerves and bone, providing a promising strategy for the preparation of personalized and functionalized biomimetic bone material.

Bacterial infection of the wound could potentially cause serious complications and an enormous medical and financial cost to the rapid emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. Nanomaterials are an emerging technology, that has been researched as possible antimicrobial nanomaterials for the inhibition of wound infection and enhancement of wound healing. Graphene is 2-dimensional (2D) sheet of sp2 carbon atoms in a honeycomb structure. It has superior properties, strength, conductivity, antimicrobial, and molecular carrier abilities. Graphene and its derivatives, Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO (rGO), have antibacterial activity and could damage bacterial morphology and lead to the leakage of intracellular substances. Besides, for wound infection management, Graphene-platforms could be functionalized by different antibacterial agents such as metal-nanoparticles, natural compounds, and antibiotics. The Graphene structure can absorb near-infrared wavelengths, allowing it to be used as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Therefore, Graphene-based material could be used to inhibit pathogens that cause serious skin infections and destroy their biofilm community, which is one of the biggest challenges in treating wound infection. Due to its agglomerated structure, GO hydrogel could entrap and stack the bacteria; thus, it prevents their initial attachment and biofilm formation. The sharp edges of GO could destroy the extracellular polymeric substance surrounding the biofilm and ruin the biofilm biomass structure. As well as, Chitosan and different natural and synthetic polymers such as collagen and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) also have attracted a great deal of attention for use with GO as wound dressing material. To this end, multi-functional polymers based on Graphene and blends of synthetic and natural polymers can be considered valid non-antibiotic compounds useful against wound infection and improvement of wound healing. Finally, the global wound care market size was valued at USD 20.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2022 to 2027 (USD 27.2 billion). This will encourage academic as well as pharmaceutical and medical device industries to investigate any new materials such as graphene and its derivatives for the treatment of wound healing.

Advances in the Physico-Chemical, Antimicrobial and Angiogenic Properties of Graphene-Oxide/Cellulose Nanocomposites for Wound Healing. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020338. [PMID: 36839660 PMCID: PMC9961167 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and its reduced form (rGO) have recently attracted a fascinating interest due to their physico-chemical properties, which have opened up new and interesting opportunities in a wide range of biomedical applications, such as wound healing. It is worth noting that GO and rGO may offer a convenient access to its ready dispersion within various polymeric matrices (such as cellulose and its derivative forms), owing to their large surface area, based on a carbon skeleton with many functional groups (i.e., hydroxyl, carboxyl, epoxy bridge, and carbonyl moieties). This results in new synergic properties due to the presence of both components (GO or rGO and polymers), acting at different length-scales. Furthermore, they have shown efficient antimicrobial and angiogenic properties, mostly related to the intracellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are advantageous in wound care management. For this reason, GO or rGO integration in cellulose-based matrixes have allowed for designing highly advanced multifunctional hybrid nanocomposites with tailored properties. The current review aims to discuss a potential relationship between structural and physico-chemical properties (i.e., size, edge density, surface chemistry, hydrophilicity) of the nanocomposites with antimicrobials and angiogenic mechanisms that synergically influence the wound healing phenomenon, by paying particular attention to recent findings of GO or rGO/cellulose nanocomposites. Accordingly, after providing a general overview of cellulose and its derivatives, the production methods used for GO and rGO synthesis, the mechanisms that guide antimicrobial and angiogenic processes of tissue repair, as well as the most recent and remarkable outcomes on GO/cellulose scaffolds in wound healing applications, will be presented.

Nanoceria-GO-intercalated multicellular spheroids revascularize and salvage critical ischemic limbs through anti-apoptotic and pro-angiogenic functions. Biomaterials 2023; 292:121914. [PMID: 36436306 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a serious form of peripheral arterial disease that involves severe blockage of blood flow in lower extremities, often leading to foot necrosis and limb loss. Lack of blood flow and high pro-inflammation with overproduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in CLI aggravate the degenerative events. Among other therapies, cell delivery is considered potential for restoring regenerative capacity, and preservation of cell survival under high oxidative stress has been challenging and prerequisite to harness cellular functions. Here, we introduce a multicellular delivery system that is intercalated with nanoceria-decorated graphene oxide (CeGO), which is considered to have high ROS scavenging ability while providing cell-matrix interaction signals. The CeGO nano-microsheets (8-nm-nanoceria/0.9-μm-GO) incorporated in HUVEC/MSC (7/3) could form cell-material hybrid spheroids mediated by cellular contraction. Under in vitro oxidative-stress-challenge with H2O2, the CeGO-intercalation enhanced the survival and anti-apoptotic capacity of cellular spheroids. Pro-angiogenic events of cellular spheroids, including cell sprouting and expression of angiogenic markers (HIF1α, VEGF, FGF2, eNOS) were significantly enhanced by the CeGO-intercalation. Proteomics analysis also confirmed substantial up-regulation of a series of angiogenesis-related secretome molecules. Such pro-angiogenic events with CeGO-intercalation were proven to be mediated by the APE/Ref-1 signaling pathway. When delivered to ischemic hindlimb in mice, the CeGO-cell spheroids could inhibit the accumulation of in vivo ROS rapidly, preserving high cell survival rate (cells were more proliferative and less apoptotic vs. those in cell-only spheroids), and up-regulated angiogenic molecular expressions. Monitoring over 28 days revealed significantly enhanced blood reperfusion and tissue recovery, and an ultimate limb salvage with the CeGO-cell delivery (∼60% salvaged vs. ∼29% in cell-only delivery vs. 0% in ischemia control). Together, the CeGO intercalated in HUVEC/MSC delivery is considered a potential nano-microplatform for CLI treatment, by scavenging excessive ROS and enhancing transplanted cell survival, while stimulating angiogenic events, which collectively help revascularization and tissue recovery, salvaging critical ischemic limbs.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibrous constructs based on nanoparticles and biopolymers have recently been used in tissue engineering because of their similarity to the extracellular matrix in nature. In this study, electrospun chitosan-carbon quantum dot-titanium dioxide-graphene oxide (CS-CQD-TiO2-GO) nanofibrous mats were synthesized for use as wound dressings by the electrospinning method. To increase the biodegradation rate and water resistance, the fabricated nanofibrous mats were cross-linked. SEM images showed a uniform and coherent structure of CS-CQD-TiO2-GO nanocomposites and CS-CQD-TiO2-GO electrospun nanofibers mats. FTIR analysis, XRD pattern, SEM mapping, and EDS spectrum demonstrate the accuracy of the synthesis as well as the elemental and chemical structure of the nanofibrous mat. The water contact angle indicated that the nanofibrous mat had a hydrophilic property, which is essential for controlling wound exudates. The tensile strength and elongation tests showed that the nanofibrous mat has suitable mechanical properties for wound dressing, including significant flexibility and strength. Interestingly, antimicrobial testing illustrated that the fabricated nanofibrous mat had antibacterial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Appropriate cell viability and cytocompatibility of treated mouse fibroblast NIH3T3 cells with the nanofibrous mat were determined using an MTT assay. The animal study results confirmed the proper potential of the nanofibrous mat in wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Large bone defects resulting from trauma, infection and tumors are usually difficult for the body's repair mechanisms to heal spontaneously. Generally, various types of bones and orthopedic implants are adopted to enhance bone repair and regeneration in the clinic. Due to the limitations of traditional treatments, bone defect repair is still a compelling challenge for orthopedic surgeons. In recent years, bone tissue engineering has become a potential option for bone repair and regeneration. Amidst the various scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications, hydrogels are considered a new type of non-toxic, non-irritating and biocompatible materials, which are widely used in the biomedicine field currently. Some studies have demonstrated that hydrogels can provide a three-dimensional network structure similar to a natural extracellular matrix for tissue regeneration and can be used to transport cells, biofactors, nutrients and drugs. Therefore, hydrogels may have the potential to be multifunctional sustained-release drug carriers in the treatment of bone defects. The recent applications of different types of hydrogels in bone defect repair were briefly reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with different content in the defective carbon species bound to oxygen sp3 were functionalized with the angiogenin (ANG) protein, to create a novel nanomedicine for modulating angiogenic processes in cancer therapies. The GO@ANG nanocomposite was scrutinized utilizing UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopies. GO exhibits pro- or antiangiogenic effects, mostly attributed to the disturbance of ROS concentration, depending both on the total concentration (i.e., >100 ng/mL) as well as on the number of carbon species oxidized, that is, the C/O ratio. ANG is considered one of the most effective angiogenic factors that plays a vital role in the angiogenic process, often in a synergic role with copper ions. Based on these starting hypotheses, the GO@ANG nanotoxicity was assessed with the MTT colorimetric assay, both in the absence and in the presence of copper ions, by in vitro cellular experiments on human prostatic cancer cells (PC-3 line). Laser confocal microscopy (LSM) cell imaging evidenced an enhanced internationalization of GO@ANG than bare GO nanosheets, as well as significant changes in cell cytoskeleton organization and mitochondrial staining compared to the cell treatments with free ANG.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are core regulators of the hypoxia response. HIF signaling is activated in the local physiological and pathological hypoxic environment, acting on downstream target genes to synthesize the corresponding proteins and regulate the hypoxic stress response. HIFs belong to the hypoxia-activated transcription family and contain two heterodimeric transcription factors, HIF-α and HIF-β. Under hypoxia, the dimer formed by HIF-α binding to HIF-β translocates into the nucleus and binds to the hypoxia response element (HRE) to induce transcription of a series of genes. HIF-1α plays an important role in innate bone development and acquired bone regeneration. HIF-1α promotes bone regeneration mainly through the following two pathways: (1) By regulating angiogenesis-osteoblast coupling to promote bone regeneration; and (2) by inducing metabolic reprogramming in osteoblasts, promoting cellular anaerobic glycolysis, ensuring the energy supply of osteoblasts under hypoxic conditions, and further promoting bone regeneration and repair. This article reviews recent basic research on HIF-1α and its role in promoting osteogenesis, discusses the possible molecular mechanisms, introduces the hypoxia-independent role of HIF-1α and reviews the application prospects of HIF-1α in tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this study, we successfully constructed the new graphene oxide/poly-L-lactic acid (GO/PLLA) nanofiber scaffolds with a hydrophilic surface and porous network structure that were highly favorable for cell infiltration. When employed these new nanofiber scaffolds for a wide range of tissue engineering applications, it was expected to promote graft tissue survival and angiogenesis. The new GO/PLLA nanofiber scaffold with an appropriate concentration of 1.0 wt% was applied for the restoration of ovarian function and reserve in mice with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). After co-transplanting the normal ovarian cortex loaded on these new nanomaterials into the in situ ovarian tissue of POI mice, the fusion of transplanted ovarian cortex with damaged ovarian tissue was improved, as well as the ovarian function and the follicle numbers. Moreover, angiogenesis was observed clearly and proved to exist in the transplanted tissue and nanomaterials, with the most conspicuous effect after co-transplantation with 1.0 wt% GO/PLLA nanofiber scaffold. In addition, nitric oxide (NO) production by phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (p-eNOS) in vivo was proven to be involved in the effect of GO and PLLA on the improved survival rate of the transplanted ovarian cortex. This study provides a new method for the fertility preservation of ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation, as well as a new strategy for the transplantation of other organs.

Abstract
Enhancement of the biological and mechanical properties of dental metals is important for accommodation with therapeutic schemes in different stomatological disciplines. Nanocoatings based on graphene family nanomaterials (GFNs) improve the topological structure and physicochemical properties of metal surfaces, endowing them with new properties while maintaining inherent mechanical properties. Nano-composite coatings, composed of GFNs with one or more type of polymer, metal, oxide, and inorganic nonmetallic compound, offer more matching modification schemes to meet multifunctional oral treatment requirements (e.g., anti-bacterial and anti-corrosive activity, osteogenesis and angiogenesis). This review describes recent progress in the development of GFN composite nanocoatings for the modification of dental metals, focus on biological effects in clinical settings. Underlying molecular mechanisms, critical modification schemes, and technical innovation in preparation methods are also discussed. The key parameters of GFN composite nanocoating surface modification are summarized according to effects on cellular responses and antibacterial activity. This review provides a theoretical reference for the optimization of the biological effects and application of GFN composite nanocoatings for dental metals, and the promotion of the environmentally friendly large-scale production of high-quality multifunctional GFN-based nanocoatings in the field of oral science.

Abstract
Biocompatible hydrogels have been considered one of the most well-known and promising in the various materials used in the fabrication of tissue-engineering scaffolds. Although considerable progress has been made in recent decades, many limitations remain, such as poor mechanical and degradation properties of biomaterials. In addition, vascularization of tissue-engineering scaffold is enduring challenge, which limited the fabrication and application of scaffold with clinically relevant dimension. To cover these challenges, in this work, a novel nanocomposite interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) hydrogel scaffold consists of methacrylated gelatin (GelMA), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) was fabricated by extrusion-based 3D printing and contained favorable biological and physicochemical properties, such as mechanical, degradation, and cytocompatibility properties, particularly conducive to angiogenesis in the scaffold. A series of physiochemical and biological characterizations of the photo-crosslinked and hydrogen-bonded crosslinked IPN scaffolds were performed. Results showed that the mechanical and degradation properties of the nanocompsite GelMA/PVA scaffolds were obviously improved compare to GelMA scaffolds with single network. In vitro cell experiments and a chick embryo angiogenesis (CEA) assay confirmed good cytocompatibility of the fabricated scaffold with adipose-derived stem and human umbilical vein endothelial cells and its potential to promote cell migration and angiogenesis. In conclusion, all together of results demonstrated that GelMA/PVA IPN scaffolds modified with CuONPs have great potential for fabrication of volumetric scaffolds and promote angiogenesis during tissue growth and repair.

Abstract
Graphene derivatives such as reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are used as components of novel biomaterials for their unique electrical properties. Electrical conductivity is a crucial factor for muscle cells, which are electrically active. This study reports the development of a new type of semi-interpenetrated polymer network based on two biodegradable FDA-approved biomaterials, sodium alginate (SA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), with Ca2+ ions as SA crosslinker. Several drawbacks such as the low cell adhesion of SA and weak structural stability can be improved with the incorporation of PCL. Furthermore, this study demonstrates how this semi-IPN can be engineered with rGO nanosheets (0.5% and 2% wt/wt rGO nanosheets) to produce electroactive nanohybrid composite biomaterials. The study focuses on the microstructure and the enhancement of physical and biological properties of these advanced materials, including water sorption, surface wettability, thermal behavior and thermal degradation, mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, cell adhesion and myogenic differentiation. The results suggest the formation of a complex nano-network with different interactions between the components: bonds between SA chains induced by Ca2+ ions (egg-box model), links between rGO nanosheets and SA chains as well as between rGO nanosheets themselves through Ca2+ ions, and strong hydrogen bonding between rGO nanosheets and SA chains. The incorporation of rGO significantly increases the electrical conductivity of the nanohybrid hydrogels, with values in the range of muscle tissue. In vitro cultures with C2C12 murine myoblasts revealed that the conductive nanohybrid hydrogels are not cytotoxic and can greatly enhance myoblast adhesion and myogenic differentiation. These results indicate that these novel electroactive nanohybrid hydrogels have great potential for biomedical applications related to the regeneration of electroactive tissues, particularly in skeletal muscle tissue engineering.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the major reason for death worldwide. Therapeutic angiogenesis serves as an effective approach to treat IHD. Sericin (S), a natural silk protein is widely used in regenerative medicine due to its excellent bioactive properties. Graphene oxide (GO) is extensively used in the field of biomedicine due to its amazing capacity to interact with biomolecules. The main objectives of the present study are to synthesize sericin functionalized graphene oxide (SGO) nanocomposites to treat diseases associated with deficient angiogenesis. Carbodiimide induced cross-linking strategy was employed to functionalize graphene oxide using sericin. The SGO nanocomposites had wrinkled flake like structure with good blood biocompatibility. In vivo chick embryo angiogenesis (CEA) assay was performed to prove the angiogenic potency of SGO nanocomposites. CEA assay results clearly indicated the development of new blood vessels in SGO treated chick embryos when compared with the control.

Abstract
Recently, biofunctional ions (Mg2+, Si4+, etc.) and graphene derivatives are proved to be promising in stimulating bone formation. In this study, a novel inorganic/organic composite porous scaffold based on silk fibroin (SF), graphene oxide (GO), and calcium magnesium silicate (CMS) was developed for bone repair. The porous scaffolds obtained by lyophilization showed a little difference in pore structure while GO and CMS displayed a good interaction with SF matrix. The addition of CMS with good mineralization potential and sustainedly release ability of biofunctional ions (Ca2+, Mg2+ and Si4+) increased the strength of SF scaffolds a little and facilitated the osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by upregulating bone formation-related genes (ALP, COL1, OC and Runx2). The further incorporation of GO in SF scaffolds enhanced the compressive strength and water retention, and also remarkably promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Besides, the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells was significantly promoted by CMS/GO/SF scaffold extract through the upregulation of angiogenesis genes (eNOs and bFGF). Moreover, the osteoclastic formation ability of RAW264.7 cells was suppressed by the released ions from CMS/GO/SF scaffold through the down-regulation of CAK, MMP9 and TRAP. The promoted osteogenesis, angiogenesis and inhibited osteoclastogenesis functions of CMS/GO/SF composite scaffold may enable it as a novel therapy for bone repair and regeneration.

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
It has been previously reported that graphene oxide/copper nanoderivative (GO/Cu)-incorporated chitosan/hyaluronic acid scaffolds might be promising wound dressings for the management of infected wound healing. The aim of the present research is to deeply explore the potential antimicrobial mechanisms and synergistic osteogenic activity, as well as the in vivo anti-infective behavior of GO/Cu nanocomposites, making them possible candidates for establishing implantable biomaterials for the repair of infected bone defects. The antibacterial mechanisms of the nanocomposites were explored through the examination of membrane integrity, oxidative stress, and metabolic enzyme activities. Then, the cytocompatibility with bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and osteogenic potential were confirmed, and a subcutaneous bacterial infection model in rats was also established to verify the in vivo anti-infective property and biosafety of the nanocomposites. It was found that leakage of adenosine triphosphate, proteins, and reducing sugars from the bacterial cells, indicative of damaged permeability of bacterial membranes, and promoted production of reactive oxygen species and disordered metabolic enzyme activities in response to oxidative stress were possible molecular mechanisms responsible for the synergistic antibacterial effects of the GO/Cu nanocomposites. Additionally, good cytocompatibility with rBMSCs and promoted osteogenic differentiation were found in GO/Cu nanocomposites (mass ratio = 2:1), which also demonstrated satisfactory in vivo anti-infective performance, reduced inflammation, and acceptable biosafety. Based on our results, damaged bacterial membranes, increased ROS production, and disorders of crucial enzyme metabolism were the main antibacterial mechanisms involved in the bacterium-killing events caused by the GO/Cu nanocomposites, which also showed enhanced osteogenic activity, in vivo anti-infective capability, and acceptable cytocompatibility and biosafety. Therefore, GO/Cu (2:1) nanocomposites are a potential strategy for improving the biological performance of current bone substitutes used for combating bacterial-contaminated bone defects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The application of doxorubicin (DOX) in cancer therapy has been limited due to its drug resistance and poor internalization. Graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures have the capacity for DOX delivery while promoting its cytotoxicity in cancer. AREAS COVERED The favorable characteristics of GO nanocomposites, preparation method, and application in cancer therapy are described. Then, DOX resistance in cancer is discussed. The GO-mediated photothermal therapy and DOX delivery for cancer suppression are described. Preparation of stimuli-responsive GO nanocomposites, surface functionalization, hybrid nanoparticles, and theranostic applications are emphasized in DOX chemotherapy. EXPERT OPINION Graphene oxide nanoparticle-based photothermal therapy maximizes the anti-cancer activity of DOX against cancer cells. Apart from DOX delivery, GO nanomaterials are capable of loading anti-cancer agents and genetic tools to minimize drug resistance and enhance the cytolytic impact of DOX in cancer eradication. To enhance DOX accumulation in cancer cells, stimuli-responsive (redox-, light-, enzyme- and pH-sensitive) GO nanoparticles have been developed for DOX delivery. Further development of targeted delivery of DOX-loaded GO nanomaterials against cancer cells may be achieved by surface modification of polymers such as polyethylene glycol, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan. Doxorubicin-loaded GO nanoparticles have demonstrated theranostic potential for simultaneous diagnosis and therapy. Hybridization of GO with other nanocarriers such as silica and gold nanoparticles further broadens their potential anti-cancer therapy applications.

Abstract
We has synthesized the biocompatible gelatin reduced graphene oxide (GOG) in previous research, and in this study we would further evaluate its effects on bone remodeling in the aspects of osteoclastogenesis and angiogenesis so as to verify its impact on accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. The mouse orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model tests in vivo showed that the tooth movement was accelerated in the GOG local injection group with more osteoclastic bone resorption and neovascularization compared with the PBS injection group. The analysis on the degradation of GOG in bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSCs) illustrated its good biocompatibility in vitro and the accumulation of GOG in spleen after local injection of GOG around the teeth in OTM model in vivo also didn't influence the survival and life of animals. The co-culture of BMSCs with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) or human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in transwell chamber systems were constructed to test the effects of GOG stimulated BMSCs on osteoclastogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro. With the GOG stimulated BMSCs co-culture in upper chamber of transwell, the HSCs in lower chamber manifested the enhanced osteoclastogenesis. Meanwhile, the co-culture of GOG stimulated BMSCs with HUVECs showed a promotive effect on the angiogenic ability of HUVECs. The mechanism analysis on the biofunctions of the GOG stimulated BMSCs illustrated the important regulatory effects of PERK pathway on osteoclastogenesis and angiogenesis. All the results showed the biosecurity of GOG and the biological functions of GOG stimulated BMSCs in accelerating bone remodeling and tooth movement. Here we observed the phenomenon of tooth movement acceleration induced by GOG in vivo. We hypothesized the pivotal role of BMSCs in the tooth movement acceleration induced by GOG. The effects of the GOG stimulated BMSCs on the osteoclastogenesis and angiogenesis were investigated in vitro. The potential mechanism of the GOG stimulated BMSCs were also analyzed in vitro and in vivo.

Graphene-Oxide Porous Biopolymer Hybrids Enhance In Vitro Osteogenic Differentiation and Promote Ectopic Osteogenesis In Vivo. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23010491. [PMID: 35008918 PMCID: PMC8745160 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23010491] [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: 12/05/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Over the years, natural-based scaffolds have presented impressive results for bone tissue engineering (BTE) application. Further, outstanding interactions have been observed during the interaction of graphene oxide (GO)-reinforced biomaterials with both specific cell cultures and injured bone during in vivo experimental conditions. This research hereby addresses the potential of fish gelatin/chitosan (GCs) hybrids reinforced with GO to support in vitro osteogenic differentiation and, further, to investigate its behavior when implanted ectopically. Standard GCs formulation was referenced against genipin (Gp) crosslinked blend and 0.5 wt.% additivated GO composite (GCsGp/GO 0.5 wt.%). Pre-osteoblasts were put in contact with these composites and induced to differentiate in vitro towards mature osteoblasts for 28 days. Specific bone makers were investigated by qPCR and immunolabeling. Next, CD1 mice models were used to assess de novo osteogenic potential by ectopic implantation in the subcutaneous dorsum pocket of the animals. After 4 weeks, alkaline phosphate (ALP) and calcium deposits together with collagen synthesis were investigated by biochemical analysis and histology, respectively. Further, ex vivo materials were studied after surgery regarding biomineralization and morphological changes by means of qualitative and quantitative methods. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy underlined the newly fashioned material structuration by virtue of mineralized extracellular matrix. Specific bone markers determination stressed the osteogenic phenotype of the cells populating the material in vitro and successfully differentiated towards mature bone cells. In vivo results of specific histological staining assays highlighted collagen formation and calcium deposits, which were further validated by micro-CT. It was observed that the addition of 0.5 wt.% GO had an overall significant positive effect on both in vitro differentiation and in vivo bone cell recruitment in the subcutaneous region. These data support the GO bioactivity in osteogenesis mechanisms as being self-sufficient to elevate osteoblast differentiation and bone formation in ectopic sites while lacking the most common osteoinductive agents.
