Abstract
Growth factors were often used to improve the bioactivity of biomaterials in order to fabricate biofunctionalized bone grafts for bone defect repair. However, supraphysiological concentrations of growth factors for improving bioactivity could lead to serious side effects, such as ectopic bone formation, radiculitis, swelling of soft tissue in the neck, etc. Therefore, safely and effectively applying growth factors in bone repair biomaterials comes to be an urgent problem that needs to be addressed. In this study, an appropriate concentration (50 ng/mL) of Wnt3a was used to pretreat the 3D-bioprinting gelatin methacryloyl(GelMA)/polycaprolactone(PCL) scaffold loaded with bone marrow stromal cell line ST2 for 24 h. This pretreatment promoted the cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization of ST2 in the scaffold in vitro, and enhanced angiogenesis and osteogenesis after being implanted in critical-sized mouse calvarial defects. On the contrary, the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in ST2 cells reduced the bone repair effect of this scaffold. These results suggested that ST2/GelMA/PCL scaffolds pretreated with an appropriate concentration of Wnt3a in culture medium could effectively enhance the osteogenic and angiogenic activity of bone repair biomaterials both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, it would avoid the side effects caused by the supraphysiological concentrations of growth factors. This functionalized scaffold with osteogenic and angiogenic activity might be used as an outstanding bone substitute for bone regeneration and repair.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis (OM) is an orthopedic disease caused by bone infections in the bone cortex, bone marrow, periosteum, and surrounding soft tissues. Recent studies have implicated non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the development of OM. However, little is known about the role of ncRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation during bone infection. In the present study, we investigated the role of KCNQ1OT1/miR-29b-3p axis in osteogenic differentiation in staphylococcus aureus (SpA)-infected human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). We first examined the expression of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and miR-29b-3p in the serum samples of OM patients and healthy controls. We also infected hBMSCs with different concentrations of SpA and studied the osteogenic differentiation after infection. Our results revealed that KCNQ1OT1 was downregulated while miR-29b-3p was upregulated in the serum samples of OM patients, as well as in SpA-infected hBMSCs. Overexpression of KCNQ1OT1 ameliorated the damage in hBMSCs caused by SpA infection. KCNQ1OT1 could support hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation by enhancing ALP activity, alizarin red S accumulation, expressions of osteogenic markers, and attenuating inflammatory responses after SpA infection. We further showed that miR-29b-3p was a downstream target of KCNQ1OT1, mediating the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs during SpA infection. Our data suggest that KCNQ1OT1 could ameliorate the SpA-induced suppression of osteogenic differentiation in hBMSCs by sponging miR-29b-3p. Modulating KCNQ1OT1 expression may serve as a strategy to ameliorate osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Inspired by the rapid angiogenesis of natural microvessels in vivo, engineered customizable microvessels (ECMVs) are developed which can naturally angiogenic sprout and induce vascular network formation via combing a celluar coaxial microfluidic extrusion technique with microsurgery post-process. ECMVs can be used for customization of primarily pre-vascularized soft tissue regenerative implants with personalized shape and vascular density with the aid of sacrificial printing technology. After collaborating with surrounding cells, ECMVs angiogenic sprouted and formed daughter vascular networks. Through techniques such as injection and suturing, ECMVs can also be introduced into large bone repair implants for pre-vascularization and osteogenesis promotion. Furthermore, the microvessel networks with personalized shapes are customized by connecting the coaxial microfluidic system to a 3D printer. It is further demonstrated that the vascularization promotion and anastomose with host vessels of the ECMVs in vivo. Thus, ECMVs provide a simple engineering strategy for rapid vascularization of clinically large regenerative soft/hard tissue implants.

Abstract
Background Intrinsic factors related to self-renewal regulatory factors in hematopoietic stem cells are well known; however, limited information is available on extrinsic factors, such as the cell environment. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the regulatory mechanism of hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal, focusing on the osteoblastic niche, and examined how adherence to osteoblasts affects stem cell differentiation. Methods For this experimental study, we developed a co-culture system for hematopoietic stem cells and osteoblasts, such that cells adhered to osteoblasts can be separated from those that do not. Murine Sca1-positive cells were separated into groups according to whether they were attached to osteoblasts or detached from osteoblasts, and each group was then subjected to colony assays and bone marrow transplantation experiments. Results Adhered Sca1-positive cells developed more secondary colonies than non-adhered Sca1-positive cells. Furthermore, in bone marrow transplantation experiments, adhered Sca1-positive cells showed successful engraftment. We explored the role of Polycomb genes in the regulation of cell fate and found that self-renewing cells attached to osteoblasts had high Bmi-1 expression and low Mel-18 expression, while this expression was reversed in differentiating cells. Conclusions Our results suggest that hematopoietic stem cells self-renew when they remain in osteoblastic niches after cell division. Further, when stem cells leave the niches, they undergo differentiation.

Abstract
The repair process of bone fractures is a complex biological mechanism requiring the recruitment and in situ functionality of stem/stromal cells from the bone marrow (BM). BM mesenchymal stem/stromal cells have been widely explored in multiple bone tissue engineering applications, whereas the use of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has been poorly investigated in this context. A reasonable explanation is the fact that the role of HSCs and their combined effect with other elements of the hematopoietic niches in the bone-healing process is still elusive. Therefore, in this review we intend to highlight the influence of HSCs in the bone repair process, mainly through the promotion of osteogenesis and angiogenesis at the bone injury site. For that, we briefly describe the main biological characteristics of HSCs, as well as their hematopoietic niches, while reviewing the biomimetic engineered BM niche models. Moreover, we also highlighted the role of HSCs in translational in vivo transplantation or implantation as promoters of bone tissue repair.

Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) marrow microenvironment plays an essential role in regulating human cord blood-derived CD34+ cells (hCB-CD34+) migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Extensive in vitro and in vivo studies have aimed to recapitulate the main components of the bone marrow (BM) niche. Nonetheless, the models are limited by a lack of heterogeneity and compound structure. Here, we fabricated coaxial extruded core-shell tubular scaffolds and extrusion-based bioprinted cell-laden mesh scaffolds to mimic the functional niche in vitro. A multicellular mesh scaffold and two different core-shell tubular scaffolds were developed with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) in comparison with a conventional 2D coculture system. A clear cell-cell connection was established in all three bioprinted constructs. Cell distribution and morphology were observed in different systems with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Collected hCB-CD34+ cells were characterized by various stem cell-specific and lineage-specific phenotypic parameters. The results showed that compared with hCB-CD34+ cells cocultured with BMSCs in Petri dishes, the self-renewal potential of hCB-CD34+ cells was stronger in the tubular scaffolds after 14 days. Besides, cells in these core-shell constructs tended to obtain stronger differentiation potential of lymphoid and megakaryocytes, while cells encapsulated in mesh scaffolds obtained stronger differentiation tendency into erythroid cells. Consequently, 3D bioprinting technology could partially simulate the niche of human hematopoietic stem cells. The three models have their potential in stemness maintenance and multilineage differentiation. This study can provide initial effective guidance in the directed differentiation research and related screening of drug models for hematological diseases.

Chitlac-coated Thermosets Enhance Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis in a Co-culture of Dental Pulp Stem Cells and Endothelial Cells. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9070928.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) represent a population of stem cells which could be useful in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. They are part of the periendothelial niche, where their crosstalk with endothelial cells is crucial in the cellular response to biomaterials used for dental restorations. DPSCs and the endothelial cell line EA.hy926 were co-cultured in the presence of Chitlac-coated thermosets in culture conditions inducing, in turn, osteogenic or angiogenic differentiation. Cell proliferation was evaluated by 3-[4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl-]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. DPSC differentiation was assessed by measuring Alkaline Phosphtase (ALP) activity and Alizarin Red S staining, while the formation of new vessels was monitored by optical microscopy. The IL-6 and PGE2 production was evaluated as well. When cultured together, the proliferation is increased, as is the DPSC osteogenic differentiation and EA.hy926 vessel formation. The presence of thermosets appears either not to disturb the system balance or even to improve the osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation. Chitlac-coated thermosets confirm their biocompatibility in the present co-culture model, being capable of improving the differentiation of both cell types. Furthermore, the assessed co-culture appears to be a useful tool to investigate cell response toward newly synthesized or commercially available biomaterials, as well as to evaluate their engraftment potential in restorative dentistry.

Abstract
We describe the ex vivo expansion of haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) with consideration of their eventual in-vivo niche. We firstly fabricated hierarchically structured scaffolds (lattices derived via three-dimensional plotting combined with electrospun submicron fibers coated with vitronectin to increase cell affinity). We also applied intermittent hydrostatic pressure (IHP) to mimic the physical environment of the in vivo niche. In the absence of mechanical stimuli, the cell phenotype (CD34+, CD34+CD38-) remained excellent in the vitronectin-treated group. Two IHP regimens were tested; optimally, cells were pressurized (20 kPa) for 2 min and then rested for 13 min. On day 7 of culture, the total cell number had increased 21.2-fold and that of CD34+ cells 10.94-fold. CD34+ and CD34+CD38- cells constituted 44.50 and 44.07% of total cells, respectively. Colony-forming counts and the long-term culture-initiating cell assay showed that clonogenic potential was greatly improved under our experimental conditions. Scaffolds with hierarchical structures were valuable in this context. Furthermore, ex vivo expansion of HSPCs was improved by physical stimulation.

Abstract
Immunoengineering applies quantitative and materials-based approaches for the investigation of the immune system and for the development of therapeutic solutions for various diseases, such as infection, cancer, inflammatory diseases and age-related malfunctions. The design of immunomodulatory and cell therapies requires the precise understanding of immune cell formation and activation in primary, secondary and ectopic tertiary immune organs. However, the study of the immune system has long been limited to in vivo approaches, which often do not allow multidimensional control of intracellular and extracellular processes, and to 2D in vitro models, which lack physiological relevance. 3D models built with synthetic and natural materials enable the structural and functional recreation of immune tissues. These models are being explored for the investigation of immune function and dysfunction at the cell, tissue and organ levels. In this Review, we discuss 2D and 3D approaches for the engineering of primary, secondary and tertiary immune structures at multiple scales. We highlight important insights gained using these models and examine multiscale engineering strategies for the design and development of immunotherapies. Finally, dynamic 4D materials are investigated for their potential to provide stimuli-dependent and context-dependent scaffolds for the generation of immune organ models.

The <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mi>NO</mml:mi></mml:mrow> <mml:mo>·</mml:mo></mml:msup> </mml:math> level in the co-cultured cells is increased approximately 3-fold more than in mono-cultured HaCaT cells within 1-hour post-UVB but then is reduced quickly in co-cultured HaCaT cells comparing to mono-cultured cells from 6 to 24 h post-UVB. However, the peroxynitrite (ONOO- ) level is higher in the co-cultured than in the mono-cultured HaCaT cells in whole period post-UVB. Furthermore, while expression level of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is increased, the ratio of coupled/uncoupled eNOS is reduced in co-cultured HaCaT cells compared to mono-cultured HaCaT cells. Finally, the co-cultured cells have a significantly increased transformation efficiency after repeating UVB exposure compared to mono-culture HaCaT cells.

Abstract
The development, maintenance of healthy bone and regeneration of injured tissue in the human body comprise a set of intricate and finely coordinated processes. However, an analysis of current bone regeneration strategies shows that only a small fraction of well-reported bone biology aspects has been used as inspiration and transposed into the development of therapeutic products. Specific topics that include inter-scale bone structural organization, developmental aspects of bone morphogenesis, bone repair mechanisms, role of specific cells and heterotypic cell contact in the bone niche (including vascularization networks and immune system cells), cell-cell direct and soluble-mediated contact, extracellular matrix composition (with particular focus on the non-soluble fraction of proteins), as well as mechanical aspects of native bone will be the main reviewed topics. In this Review we suggest a systematic parallelization of (i) fundamental well-established biology of bone, (ii) updated and recent advances on the understanding of biological phenomena occurring in native and injured tissue, and (iii) critical discussion of how those individual aspects have been translated into tissue regeneration strategies using biomaterials and other tissue engineering approaches. We aim at presenting a perspective on unexplored aspects of bone physiology and how they could be translated into innovative regeneration-driven concepts.

[PMID: 30257392 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2018.06.119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2018] [Revised: 06/21/2018] [Accepted: 06/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Safflower yellow (SY) is an active component ofCarthamus tinctorius L. that is widely used in orthopedics. This study aimed to evaluate the role of SY in angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation. METHODS The migration and in vitro angiogenesis of SY (4.5, 9.0, 18 μg/ml)-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC-12) were assessed by transwell and tube formation assay, respectively. Osteogenic differentiation ability was detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S staining. The mRNA and protein expressions of related markers were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. RESULTS The migration and tube formation ability of HUVEC-12 were promoted by SY. Furthermore, SY facilitated the angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation in the co-culture of HUVEC-12 and BMSCs by increasing hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), ALP, runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osteopontin-1 (OPN-1) levels. Inhibition of HIF-1α expression by 3-(5-hydroxymethl-2-furyl)-1-benzylindazole (YC-1), restrained SY-induced proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of HUVEC-12 and the increased protein levels of VEGF, Ang-2, ALP, Runx2 and OPN-1. Finally, WD repeat and SOCS box-containing protein-1 (WSB-1)/Von Hippel-Lindau protein (p-VHL) pathway was involved in the beneficial effect of SY. CONCLUSION SY promotes osteogenic differentiation via enhancing angiogenesis by regulating pVHL/HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway.

Adv Pharm Bull 2017; 7:531-546. [PMID: 29399543 PMCID: PMC5788208 DOI: 10.15171/apb.2017.065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2017] [Revised: 11/25/2017] [Accepted: 11/28/2017] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent stem cells, with self-renewal ability as well as ability to generate all blood cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells, with self-renewal ability, and capable of differentiating into a variety of cell types. MSCs have supporting effects on hematopoiesis; through direct intercellular communications as well as secreting cytokines, chemokines, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). Recent investigations demonstrated that some biological functions and effects of MSCs are mediated by their EVs. MSC-EVs are the cell membrane and endosomal membrane compartments, which are important mediators in the intercellular communications. MSC-EVs contain some of the molecules such as proteins, mRNA, siRNA, and miRNA from their parental cells. MSC-EVs are able to inhibit tumor, repair damaged tissue, and modulate immune system responses. MSC-EVs compared to their parental cells, may have the specific safety advantages such as the lower potential to trigger immune system responses and limited side effects. Recently some studies demonstrated the effect of MSC-EVs on the expansion, differentiation, and clinical applications of HSCs such as improvement of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and inhibition of graft versus host disease (GVHD). HSCT may be the only therapeutic choice for patients who suffer from malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders. However, there are several severe side effects such GVHD that restricts the successfulness of HSCT. In this review, we will discuss the most important effects of MSCs and MSC-EVs on the improvement of HSCT, inhibition and treatment of GVHD, as well as, on the expansion of HSCs.
