Unveiling the governing role of 'remodeling triangle area' in soft-hard tissue interface equilibrium for metal implants advancement. Mater Today Bio 2024; 28:101170. [PMID: 39211290 PMCID: PMC11357867 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101170] [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: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Metal implants holds significant promise for diverse fixed prostheses. However, their long-term reliability and broader application are hindered by challenges related to the disequilibrium at the soft-hard tissue interface. By using anti-inflammatory (PDA/IL4) and pro-inflammatory (PDA/LPS/IFNγ) coatings to modulate distinct immune characteristics, we discovered a dynamic bioactive structure at the soft-hard tissue interface around metal implant, which we have named the 'Remodeling Triangle Area' (RTA). We further demonstrate that the RTA can be influenced by the PDA/IL4 coating to favor a phenotype that enhances both innate and adaptive immunity. This leads to stronger epithelial adhesion, the formation of dense connective tissue via IGF1 secretion, and a more balanced soft-hard tissue interface through the OPG/RANKL axis. Conversely, the PDA/LPS/IFNγ coating shifts the RTA towards a phenotype that activates the innate immune response. This results in a less cohesive tissue structure and bone resorption, characterized by reduced IGF1 secretion and an imbalanced OPG/RANKL axis. Over all, our study introduces the novel concept termed the 'Remodeling Triangle Area' (RTA), an immune-rich anatomical region located at the nexus of the implant interface, epithelial, connective, and bone tissue, which becomes highly interactive post-implantation to modulate the soft-hard tissue interface equilibrium. We believe that an RTA-centric, immunomodulatory approach has the potential to revolutionize the design of next-generation metal implants, providing unparalleled soft-hard tissue interface equilibrium properties.

Abstract
Porous poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/Icaritin (PLGA/β-TCP/ICT, PTI) scaffold is a tissue engineering scaffold based on PLGA/β-TCP (PT) containing Icaritin, the main active ingredient of the Chinese medicine Epimedium. Due to its excellent mechanical properties and osteogenic effect, PTI scaffold has the potential to promote bone defect repair. However, the release of ICT from the scaffolds is difficult to control. In this study, we constructed Ti3C2Tx@PLGA/ICT microspheres (TIM) and evaluated their characterization as well as ICT release under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. We utilized TIM to modify the PT scaffold and performed biological experiments. First, we cultured rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on the scaffold to assess biocompatibility and osteogenic potential under on-demand NIR irradiation. Subsequently, to evaluate the osteogenic properties of TIM-modified scaffoldin vivo, the scaffold was implanted into a femoral condyle defect model. TIM have excellent drug-loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency for ICT, and the incorporation of Ti3C2Txendows TIM with photothermal conversion capability. Under 0.90 W cm-2NIR irradiation, the temperature of TIM maintained at 42.0 ± 0.5 °C and the release of ICT was accelerated. Furthermore, while retaining its original properties, the TIM-modified scaffold was biocompatible and could promote cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and biomineralizationin vitro, as well as the osteogenesis and osseointegrationin vivo, and its effect was further enhanced through the modulation of ICT release under NIR irradiation. In summary, TIM-modified scaffold has the potential to be applied in bone defects repairing.

Abstract
Efferocytosis-mediated inflammatory reversal plays a crucial role in bone repairing process. However, in refractory bone defects, the macrophage continual efferocytosis may be suppressed due to the disrupted microenvironment homeostasis, particularly the loss of apoptotic signals and overactivation of intracellular oxidative stress. In this study, a polydopamine-coated short fiber matrix containing biomimetic "apoptotic signals" to reconstruct the microenvironment and reactivate macrophage continual efferocytosis for inflammatory reversal and bone defect repair is presented. The "apoptotic signals" (AM/CeO2) are prepared using CeO2 nanoenzymes with apoptotic neutrophil membrane coating for macrophage recognition and oxidative stress regulation. Additionally, a short fiber "biomimetic matrix" is utilized for loading AM/CeO2 signals via abundant adhesion sites involving π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions. Ultimately, the implantable apoptosis-mimetic nanoenzyme/short-fiber matrixes (PFS@AM/CeO2), integrating apoptotic signals and biomimetic matrixes, are constructed to facilitate inflammatory reversal and reestablish the pro-efferocytosis microenvironment. In vitro and in vivo data indicate that the microenvironment biomimetic short fibers can activate macrophage continual efferocytosis, leading to the suppression of overactivated inflammation. The enhanced repair of rat femoral defect further demonstrates the osteogenic potential of the pro-efferocytosis strategy. It is believed that the regulation of macrophage efferocytosis through microenvironment biomimetic materials can provide a new perspective for tissue repair.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal diseases and injuries are among the leading causes of pain and morbidity worldwide. Broad efforts have focused on developing pro-regenerative biomaterials to treat musculoskeletal conditions; however, these approaches have yet to make a significant clinical impact. Recent studies have demonstrated that the immune system is central in orchestrating tissue repair and that targeting pro-regenerative immune responses can improve biomaterial therapeutic outcomes. However, aging is a critical factor negatively affecting musculoskeletal tissue repair and immune function. Hence, understanding how age affects the response to biomaterials is essential for improving musculoskeletal biomaterial therapies. This review focuses on the intersection of the immune system and aging in response to biomaterials for musculoskeletal tissue repair. The article introduces the general impacts of aging on tissue physiology, the immune system, and the response to biomaterials. Then, it explains how the adaptive immune system guides the response to injury and biomaterial implants in cartilage, muscle, and bone and discusses how aging impacts these processes in each tissue type. The review concludes by highlighting future directions for the development and translation of personalized immunomodulatory biomaterials for musculoskeletal tissue repair.

Abstract
The bone immune microenvironment can influence the occurrence and progression of bone defects. To date, research on promoting macrophage M2 polarization to improve bone injury repair has been insufficient. In this study, we designed an injectable poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) porous microsphere that forms calcium phosphate crystals on its surface by binding to melatonin, followed by bionanomimetic mineralization in vitro. The microsphere is injectable and degradable, and its release of melatonin (MT) and calcium phosphate (CaP) crystals promotes macrophage M2 polarization, reprogramming of macrophages, and enhanced osteogenesis. After LPS stimulation, the proportion of M2-polarized macrophages in the MS@CaP@MT group was 39.2 ± 2.7%, significantly higher than that in other groups (P < 0.05). Further, in the MS@CaP@MT group, rats exhibited bone mineral densities of 129.4 ± 12.8 mg cc-1 at 2 weeks and 171.6 ± 13.6 mg cc-1 at 4 weeks in the defect area, which were significantly higher than those in other groups (P < 0.05). Using an animal model of femoral condylar defects, we demonstrated that MT PLLA porous microspheres loaded with calcium phosphate crystals can improve the immune microenvironment and form a microsphere-centered osteogenesis model. This significantly accelerates bone defect repair and provides a potential strategy for bone defect treatment.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second largest group of neurodegenerative diseases, and its existing drug treatments are not satisfactory. Natural cell membrane drugs are used for homologous targeting to enhance efficacy. In this study, microfluidic electroporation chip prepared mesenchymal stem cell-derived neuron-like cell membrane-coated curcumin PLGA nanoparticles (MM-Cur-NPs) was synthesized and explored therapeutic effect and mechanism in PD. MM-Cur-NPs can protect neuron from damage, restore mitochondrial membrane potential and reduce oxidative stress in vitro. In PD mice, it also can improve movement disorders and restore damaged TH neurons. MM-Cur-NPs was found to be distributed in the brain and metabolized with a delay within 24 h. After 1 h administration, MM-Cur-NPs were distributed in brain with a variety of neurotransmitters were significantly upregulated, such as dopamine. Differentially expressed genes of RNA-seq were enriched in the inflammation regulation, and it was found the up-expression of anti-inflammatory factors and inhibited pro-inflammatory factors in PD. Mechanically, MM-Cur-NPs can not only reduce neuronal apoptosis, inhibit the microglial marker IBA-1 and inflammation, but also upregulate expression of neuronal mitochondrial protein VDAC1 and restore mitochondrial membrane potential. This study proposes a therapeutic strategy provide neuroprotective effects through MM-Cur-NPs therapy for PD.

Abstract
T cells are adaptive immune cells essential in pathogenic response, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. During the integration of biomaterials with host tissue, T cells modify the local inflammatory environment by releasing cytokines that promote inflammatory resolution following implantation. T cells are vital for the modulation of innate immune cells, recruitment and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and formation of functional tissue around the biomaterial implant. We have demonstrated that deficiency of αβ T cells promotes macrophage polarization towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype and attenuates MSC recruitment and proliferation in vitro and in vivo. The goal of this study was to understand how CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, subsets of the αβ T cell family, impact the inflammatory response to titanium (Ti) biomaterials. Deficiency of either CD4+ or CD8+ T cells increased the proportion of pro-inflammatory macrophages, lowered anti-inflammatory macrophages, and diminished MSC recruitment in vitro and in vivo. In addition, new bone formation at the implantation site was significantly reduced in T cell-deficient mice compared to T cell-competent mice. Deficiency of CD4+ T cells exacerbated these effects compared to CD8+ T cell deficiency. Our results show the importance of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in modulating the inflammatory response and promoting new bone formation in response to modified Ti implants. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are essential in modulating the peri-implant microenvironment during the inflammatory response to biomaterial implantation. This study shows that deficiency of either CD4+ or CD8+ T cell subsets altered macrophage polarization and reduced MSC recruitment and proliferation at the implantation site.

Abstract
Critical-size defects (CSDs) of the craniofacial bones cause aesthetic and functional complications that seriously impact the quality of life. The transplantation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) is a promising strategy for bone tissue engineering. Chirality is commonly observed in natural biomolecules, yet its effect on stem cell differentiation is seldom studied, and little is known about the underlying mechanism. In this study, supramolecular chiral hydrogels were constructed using L/d-phenylalanine (L/D-Phe) derivatives. The results of alkaline phosphatase expression analysis, alizarin red S assay, as well as quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses suggest that right-handed D-Phe hydrogel fibers significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. A rat model of calvarial defects was created to investigate the regulation of chiral nanofibers on the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs in vivo. The results of the animal experiment demonstrated that the D-Phe group exhibited greater and faster bone formation on hDPSCs. The results of RNA sequencing, vinculin immunofluorescence staining, a calcium fluorescence probe assay, and western blot analysis indicated that L-Phe significantly promoted adhesion of hDPSCs, while D-Phe nanofibers enhanced osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs by facilitating calcium entry into cells and activate the MAPK pathway. These results of chirality-dependent osteogenic differentiation offer a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of CSDs by optimising the differentiation of hDPSCs into chiral nanofibers.

Abstract
Drug therapy towards tumours often causes adverse effects because of their non-specific nature. Membrane-coated technology and membrane-coated nanoparticles provide an advanced and promising platform of targeted and safe delivery. By camouflaging the nanoparticles with natural derived or artificially modified cell membranes, the nano-payloads are bestowed with properties from cell membranes such as longer circulation, tumour or inflammation-targeting, immune stimulation, augmenting the performance of traditional therapeutics. In this review, we review the development of membrane coating technology, and summarise the technical details, physicochemical properties, and research status of membrane-coated nanoparticles from different sources in tumour treatment. Finally, we also look forward to the prospects and challenges of transforming membrane coating technology from experiment into clinical use. Taken together, membrane-coated nanoparticles are bound to become one of the most potential anti-tumour strategies in the future.

Abstract
Large osseous void, postsurgical neoplastic recurrence, and slow bone-cartilage repair rate raise an imperative need to develop functional scaffold in clinical osteosarcoma treatment. Herein, a bionic bilayer scaffold constituting croconaine dye-polyethylene glycol@sodium alginate hydrogel and poly(l-lactide)/hydroxyapatite polymer matrix is fabricated to simultaneously achieve a highly efficient killing of osteosarcoma and an accelerated osteochondral regeneration. First, biomimetic osteochondral structure along with adequate interfacial interaction of the bilayer scaffold provide a structural reinforcement for transverse osseointegration and osteochondral regeneration, as evidenced by upregulated specific expressions of collagen type-I, osteopontin, and runt-related transcription factor 2. Meanwhile, thermal ablation of the synthesized nanoparticles and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by continuously released hydroxyapatite induce residual tumor necrosis synergistically. To validate the capabilities of inhibiting tumor growth and promoting osteochondral regeneration of our proposed scaffold, a novel orthotopic osteosarcoma model simulating clinical treatment scenarios of bone tumors is established on rats. Based on amounts of in vitro and in vivo results, an effective killing of osteosarcoma and a suitable osteal-microenvironment modulation of such bionic bilayer composite scaffold are achieved, which provides insightful implications for photonic hyperthermia therapy against osteosarcoma and following osseous tissue regeneration.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1273541. [PMID: 38440328 PMCID: PMC10910430 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1273541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Bone defects remain a thorny challenge that clinicians have to face. At present, scaffolds prepared by 3D printing are increasingly used in the field of bone tissue repair. Polylactic acid (PLA) has good thermoplasticity, processability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, but the PLA is brittle and has poor osteogenic performance. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) has good mechanical properties and osteogenic induction properties, which can make up for the drawbacks of PLA. Methods: In this study, photocurable biodegradable polylactic acid (bio-PLA) was utilized as the raw material to prepare PLA/β-TCP slurries with varying β-TCP contents (β-TCP dosage at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 35% of the PLA dosage, respectively). The PLA/β-TCP scaffolds were fabricated using liquid crystal display (LCD) light-curing 3D printing technology. The characterization of the scaffolds was assessed, and the biological activity of the scaffold with the optimal compressive strength was evaluated. The biocompatibility of the scaffold was assessed through CCK-8 assays, hemocompatibility assay and live-dead staining experiments. The osteogenic differentiation capacity of the scaffold on MC3T3-E1 cells was evaluated through alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) detection, immunofluorescence experiments, and RT-qPCR assays. Results: The prepared scaffold possesses a three-dimensional network structure, and with an increase in the quantity of β-TCP, more β-TCP particles adhere to the scaffold surface. The compressive strength of PLA/β-TCP scaffolds exhibits a trend of initial increase followed by decrease with an increasing amount of β-TCP, reaching a maximum value of 52.1 MPa at a 10% β-TCP content. Degradation rate curve results indicate that with the passage of time, the degradation rate of the scaffold gradually increases, and the pH of the scaffold during degradation shows an alkaline tendency. Additionally, Live/dead staining and blood compatibility experiments suggest that the prepared PLA/β-TCP scaffold demonstrates excellent biocompatibility. CCK-8 experiments indicate that the PLA/β-TCP group promotes cell proliferation, and the prepared PLA/β-TCP scaffold exhibits a significant ability to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro. Discussion: 3D printed LCD photocuring PLA/β-TCP scaffolds could improve surface bioactivity and lead to better osteogenesis, which may provide a unique strategy for developing bioactive implants in orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Nanoencapsulation has become a recent advancement in drug delivery, enhancing stability, bioavailability, and enabling controlled, targeted substance delivery to specific cells or tissues. However, traditional nanoparticle delivery faces challenges such as a short circulation time and immune recognition. To tackle these issues, cell membrane-coated nanoparticles have been suggested as a practical alternative. The production process involves three main stages: cell lysis and membrane fragmentation, membrane isolation, and nanoparticle coating. Cell membranes are typically fragmented using hypotonic lysis with homogenization or sonication. Subsequent membrane fragments are isolated through multiple centrifugation steps. Coating nanoparticles can be achieved through extrusion, sonication, or a combination of both methods. Notably, this analysis reveals the absence of a universally applicable method for nanoparticle coating, as the three stages differ significantly in their procedures. This review explores current developments and approaches to cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, highlighting their potential as an effective alternative for targeted drug delivery and various therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The osteoimmune microenvironment induced by implants plays a significant role in bone regeneration. It is essential to efficiently and timely switch the macrophage phenotype from M1 to M2 for optimal bone healing. This study examined the impact of a calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on the physiochemical properties of highly ordered polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds fabricated using melt electrowritten (MEW). Additionally, it investigated the influence of these scaffolds on macrophage polarization and their immunomodulation on osteogenesis. The results revealed that the CaP coated PCL scaffold exhibited a rougher surface topography and higher hydrophilicity in comparison to the PCL scaffold without coating. Besides, the surface morphology of the coating and the release of Ca2+ from the CaP coating were crucial in regulating the transition of macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotypes. They might activate the PI3K/AKT and cAMP-PKA pathways, respectively, to facilitate M2 polarization. In addition, the osteoimmune microenvironment induced by CaP coated PCL could not only enhance the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro but also promote the bone regeneration in vivo. Taken together, the CaP coating can be employed to control the phenotypic switching of macrophages, thereby creating a beneficial immunomodulatory microenvironment that promotes bone regeneration.

Abstract
Immunoregulation mediated bone tissue engineering (BTE) has demonstrated huge potential in promoting repair of critical-size bone defects (CSBDs). The trade-off between stable immunoregulation function and extended immunoregulation period has posed a great challenge to this strategy. Here, we reported a 3D porous biodegradable Poly(HEMA-co-3APBA)/LUT scaffold, in which reversible boronic acid ester bond was formed between the 3APBA moiety and the catechol moiety of luteolin (LUT). The boronic acid ester bond not only protected the bioactivity of LUT but also extended the release period of LUT. The rationale behind the phenomenon of sustained LUT release was explained using a classical transition state theory. In vitro/in vivo assays proved the immunoregulation function of the scaffold in inducing M2 polarization of both M0 and M1 Mφ. The crosstalk between the scaffold treated Raw 264.7 and BMSCs were also investigated through the in vitro co-culture assay. The results demonstrated that the scaffold could induce immunoregulation mediated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In addition, CSBDs model of SD rats was also applied, and the corresponding data proved that the scaffold could accelerate new bone formation, therefore promoting repair of CSBDs. The as-prepared scaffold might be a promising candidate for repair of CSBDs in the future.

Abstract
Bone- and cartilage-related diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, affect millions of people worldwide, impairing their quality of life and increasing mortality. Osteoporosis significantly increases the bone fracture risk of the spine, hip, and wrist. For successful fracture treatment and to facilitate proper healing in the most complicated cases, one of the most promising methods is to deliver a therapeutic protein to accelerate bone regeneration. Similarly, in the setting of osteoarthritis, where degraded cartilage does not regenerate, therapeutic proteins hold great promise to promote new cartilage formation. For both osteoporosis and osteoarthritis treatments, targeted delivery of therapeutic growth factors, with the aid of hydrogels, to bone and cartilage is a key to advance the field of regenerative medicine. In this review article, we propose five important aspects of therapeutic growth factor delivery for bone and cartilage regeneration: (1) protection of protein growth factors from physical and enzymatic degradation, (2) targeted growth factor delivery, (3) controlling GF release kinetics, (4) long-term stability of regenerated tissues, and (5) osteoimmunomodulatory effects of therapeutic growth factors and carriers/scaffolds.
