Abstract
Immobilization-induced skeletal unloading results in muscle atrophy and rapid bone loss, thereby increasing the risk of falling and the need for implant therapy in patients with extended bed rest or neuromuscular injuries. Skeletal unloading causes bone loss by altering bone growth and resorption, suggesting that implant performance might be affected. To test this, we focused on early events in implant osseointegration. We used the rat sciatic neurectomy-induced disuse model under two different settings. In Study 1, 16 Sprague Dawley rats (SD) were separated into control, sham operated+cast immobilization, and sciatic neurectomy+casting groups; titanium implants with multiscale microtextured topography and hydrophilic chemistry (modSLA) were inserted in the distal femoral metaphysis. Neurectomy surgeries and casting were performed at the same surgical setting as implant placement; rats were euthanized 4 weeks post-implantation. In Study 2, we established the unloaded condition before implantation. A total of 12 SD rats were divided into control and sciatic+femoral neurectomy groups. A total of 24 days after sciatic and femoral neurectomy surgery, rats received implants. Study 2 rats were euthanized at 4 weeks post-implantation. MicroCT and histomorphometry showed that trabecular bone and osseointegration were reduced when disuse was established before implantation. Osteoblasts isolated from Study 1 sciatic neurectomy tibial bones exhibited impaired differentiation on modSLA culture disks, revealing a possible mechanism responsible for the decreased osseointegration observed in the Study 2 rats. This study addressed the importance of considering the mechanical unloading and muscle function history before implant insertion and suggests that implant performance was reduced due to poor cellular ability to regenerate.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease characterized by bone density and trabecular bone loss. Bone loss may affect dental implant osseointegration in patients with osteoporosis. To promote implant osseointegration in osteoporotic patients, we further used a nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) treatment device previously developed by our research group. After the titanium implant (Ti) is placed into the device, the working gas flow and the electrode switches are turned on, and the treatment is completed in 30 s. Previous studies showed that this NTAP device can remove carbon contamination from the implant surface, increase the hydroxyl groups, and improve its wettability to promote osseointegration in normal conditions. In this study, we demonstrated the tremendous osteogenic enhancement effect of NTAP-Ti in osteoporotic conditions in rats for the first time. Compared to Ti, the proliferative potential of osteoporotic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on NTAP-Ti increased by 180% at 1 day (P = 0.004), while their osteogenic differentiation increased by 149% at 14 days (P < 0.001). In addition, the results indicated that NTAP-Ti significantly improved osseointegration in osteoporotic rats in vivo. Compared to the Ti, the bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and trabecular number (Tb.N) values of NTAP-Ti in osteoporotic rats, respectively, increased by 18% (P < 0.001) and 25% (P = 0.007) at 6 weeks and the trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) value decreased by 26% (P = 0.02) at 6 weeks. In conclusion, this study proved a novel NTAP irradiation titanium implant that can significantly promote osseointegration in osteoporotic conditions.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease affecting millions of elderly people globally and increases the risk of bone fractures due to the reduced bone density. Drugs are normally prescribed to treat osteoporosis, especially after surgical treatment of osteoporotic fractures. However, many anti-osteoporotic drugs produce deleterious side effects. The recent development of gene therapy utilizing oligonucleotides (ONs) has spurred the development of new therapies for osteoporosis. Nevertheless, most ONs lack the capability of cell penetration and lysosome escape and hence, intracellular delivery of ON remains a challenge. Herein, a novel strategy is demonstrated to efficiently deliver ON to cells by combining ON with the cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) via the bio-orthogonal click reaction. Several dopamine (DOPA) groups are also introduced into the fabricated peptide to scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Owing to favorable properties such as good cytocompatibility, cell penetration, lysosome escape, ROS scavenging, and osteoclastogenesis suppression, the hybrid CPP-DOPA-ON peptide improves the osteoporotic conditions significantly in vivo even when bone implants are involved. This strategy has great potential in the treatment of osteoporosis and potentially broadens the scope of gene therapy.

Osseointegration of Titanium Implants in a Botox-Induced Muscle Paralysis Rat Model Is Sensitive to Surface Topography and Semaphorin 3A Treatment. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:biomimetics8010093.

Abstract
Reduced skeletal loading associated with many conditions, such as neuromuscular injuries, can lead to bone fragility and may threaten the success of implant therapy. Our group has developed a botulinum toxin A (botox) injection model to imitate disease-reduced skeletal loading and reported that botox dramatically impaired the bone formation and osseointegration of titanium implants. Semaphorin 3A (sema3A) is an osteoprotective factor that increases bone formation and inhibits bone resorption, indicating its potential therapeutic role in improving osseointegration in vivo. We first evaluated the sema3A effect on whole bone morphology following botox injections by delivering sema3A via injection. We then evaluated the sema3A effect on the osseointegration of titanium implants with two different surface topographies by delivering sema3A to cortical bone defect sites prepared for implant insertion and above the implants after insertion using a copper-free click hydrogel that polymerizes rapidly in situ. Implants had hydrophobic smooth surfaces (PT) or multiscale biomimetic micro/nano topography (SLAnano). Sema3A rescued the botox-impaired bone formation. Furthermore, biomimetic Ti implants improved the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and mechanical properties of the integrated bone in the botox-treated rats, which sema3A enhanced. This study demonstrated the value of biomimetic approaches combining multiscale topography and biologics in improving the clinical outcomes of implant therapy.

Semaphorin 3A delivered by a rapidly polymerizing click hydrogel overcomes impaired implant osseointegration in a rat type 2 diabetes model. Acta Biomater 2023; 157:236-251. [PMID: 36435442 PMCID: PMC10007856 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.11.030] [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: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Semaphorin 3A (sema3A) is an osteoprotective factor that enhances bone formation while inhibiting osteoclast bone resorption. It is produced by rat calvarial osteoblasts cultured on grit-blasted/acid-etched microtextured (SLA) titanium surfaces at higher levels than on tissue culture polystyrene, suggesting that it may improve performance of titanium implants in vivo, particularly in conditions characterized by compromised bone quality. To test this, we established a clinically relevant type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rat model and used a non-toxic click hydrogel that rapidly polymerizes in situ (GEL) to provide localized controlled delivery of sema3A. In vitro studies confirmed that sema3A released from GEL was biologically active, increasing osteoblast differentiation of a pre-osteoblast cell-line. Whereas increased sema3A production was not observed in T2DM calvarial osteoblasts cultured on SLA, exogenous sema3A enhanced surface-induced osteoblast differentiation, indicating that it would be a viable candidate for in vivo use. Delivery of sema3A either by GEL or by local injection to bone defects enhanced osseointegration of SLA implants in the T2DM rats. Trabecular bone mass and bone-to-implant contact were decreased in T2DM rats compared to normal rats; sema3A delivered locally improved both parameters. These findings suggest that reduced trabecular bone contributes to poor osseointegration in T2DM patients and support GEL as a promising treatment option for sustained release of therapeutic doses of sema3A. Moreover, using this clinically translatable T2DM model and developing a biocompatible, Cu-free click chemistry hydrogel platform for the non-invasive delivery of therapeutics has major implications for regenerative medicine as a whole. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Osseointegration is compromised in patients with poor bone quality due to conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Previously, we showed that semaphorin 3A (sema3A) production is increased when human bone marrow stromal cells are cultured on titanium substrates that support osseointegration in vivo, suggesting it may enhance peri-implant osteogenesis in diabetes. Here we established a spontaneously developing T2DM rat model with clinical translatability and used it to assess sema3A effectiveness. Sema3A was delivered to the implant site via a novel copper-free click hydrogel, which has minimal swelling behavior and superior rheological properties. Osseointegration was successfully restored, and enhanced compared to burst release through injections. This study provides scientific evidence for using sema3A to treat impaired osseointegration in T2DM patients.

Abstract
The successful use of surgical and medical methods of jaw bone tissue restoration has been convincingly confirmed in clinical practice. At the same time, technologies are being developed to improve the osseointegration of dental implants in patients with osteoporosis. The use of various implant coatings, as well as systemic therapy, demonstrate the emergence of new directions in the treatment of patients with partial or complete secondary edentulism with concomitant osteoporosis. This trend is relevant in modern medicine . Information was obtained from the PubMed database, using the keywords «osteoporosis» and «osseointegration» and «dental implantation» and «zoledronic acid» from 2016 to 2022. Articles were selected based on experimental work. Numerous studies have shown that bone tissue is an effective indicator of osteoporotic changes. The main changes in bone tissue in osteoporosis are emphasized - a decrease in bone volume, deterioration of the microarchitecture of the trabecular bone and processes that prevent osseointegration - loss of bone mass, a significant decrease in the percentage of contact in the implant-bone complex. Methods of dealing with the negative impact on the operation of dental implantation have been identified. In a review of studies on the systemic administration of drugs based on bisphosphonates, an increase in the osseointegration of dental implants was revealed, the systemic administration of zoledronic acid preparations significantly increased the formation of new bone, which in turn contributed to the elimination of such a negative effect of osteoporosis as bone resorption. In addition to the systemic administration of bisphosphonates, experimental studies describe the topical application of bisphosphonates in the form of various implant coatings. Topical application of bisphosphonates also contributed to increased osseointegration. Microstructured coated implants showed less marginal bone loss compared to uncoated implants. Conclusion. The use of dental implants with modified macro- and microrelief, as well as systemic drug therapy, remains the main direction of scientific research that contributes to the optimization of osseointegration of dental implants.

Abstract
Permanently anchored metal implants are frequently used in dental, craniomaxillofacial, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. The success of such therapies is owed to the phenomenon of osseointegration-the direct connection between the living bone and the implant. The extent of biomechanical anchorage (i.e., physical interlocking between the implant and bone) can be assessed with removal torque (RTQ) measurement. Implant anchorage is strongly influenced by underlying bone quality, involving physicochemical and biological properties such as composition and structural organisation of extracellular matrix, extent of micro-damage, and bone turnover. In this review, we evaluated the impact of various pharmacological agents on osseointegration, from animal experiments conducting RTQ measurements. In addition to substances whose antiresorptive and/or anti-catabolic effects on bone are well-documented (e.g., alendronate, zoledronate, ibandronate, raloxifene, human parathyroid hormone, odanacatib, and the sclerostin monoclonal antibody), positive effects on RTQ have been reported for substances that do not primarily target bone (e.g., aminoguanidine, insulin, losartan, simvastatin, bone morphogenetic protein, alpha-tocopherol, and the combination of silk fibroin powder and platelet-rich fibrin). On the contrary, several substances (e.g., prednisolone, cyclosporin A, cisplatin, and enamel matrix derivative) tend to adversely impact RTQ. While morphometric parameters such as bone-implant contact appear to influence the biomechanical anchorage, increased or decreased RTQ is not always accompanied by corresponding fluctuations in bone-implant contact. This further confirms that factors such as bone quality underpin biomechanical anchorage of metal implants. Several fundamental questions on drug metabolism and bioavailability, drug dosage, animal-to-human translation, and the consequences of treatment interruption remain yet unanswered.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a desirable alternative to conventional biomedical metals for orthopedic implants due to the excellent mechanical properties. However, the inherent bioinertness of PEEK contributes to inferior osseointegration of PEEK implants, especially under pathological conditions of osteoporosis. Herein, a programmed surface is designed and fabricated on PEEK to dictate osteoimmunomodulation and bone regeneration sequentially. A degradable hybrid coating consisting of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) and alendronate (ALN) loaded nano-hydroxyapatite is deposited on PEEK and then interleukin-4 (IL-4) is grafted onto the outer surface of the hybrid coating with the aid of N2 plasma immersion ion implantation and subsequent immersion in IL-4 solution. Dominant release of IL-4 together with ALN and Ca2+ during the first few days synergistically mitigates the early acute inflammatory reactions and creates an osteoimmunomodulatory microenvironment that facilitates bone regeneration. Afterwards, slow and sustained delivery of ALN and Ca2+ in the following weeks boosts osteogenesis and suppresses osteoclastogenesis simultaneously, consequently ameliorating bone-implant osseointegration even under osteoporotic conditions. By taking into account the different phases in bone repair, this strategy of constructing advanced bone implants with sequential functions provides customizable and clinically viable therapy to osteoporotic patients. A programmed surface is designed and fabricated on PEEK to dictate osteoimmunomodulation and bone regeneration sequentially. A degradable coating consisting ALN loaded nano-HA is deposited on PEEK, with IL-4 being grafted onto the outmost surface. Dominant release of IL-4 together with ALN and Ca2+ synergistically mitigates the early acute inflammatory reactions. Slow and sustained delivery of ALN and Ca2+ boosts osteogenesis and suppresses osteoclastogenesis simultaneously. Sequential regulation of peri-implant biological responses is achieved to match the dynamic process of bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, characterized by bone mineral density reduction, bone mass loss, increased bone fragility, and propensity to fractures, is a common disease in older individuals and one of the most serious health problems worldwide. The imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts results in the predominance of bone resorption and decreased bone formation. In recent years, it has been found that regular and proper exercise not only helps prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis but also adds benefits to osteoporosis therapy; accordingly, bone homeostasis is closely associated with mechanical stress and the intricate crosstalk between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms of exercise on osteoporosis and provide new proposals for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Bone 2021; 153:116145. [PMID: 34390886 PMCID: PMC8480339 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.116145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Metabolic bone is highly innervated by both sensory and sympathetic nerves. In addition to skeletal development, neural regulation participates in local bone remodeling, which is important for successful osseointegration of titanium implants. Neurectomy is a model used to investigate the lack of neural function on bone homeostasis, but the relative impacts of direct denervation to bone or denervation-induced muscle paralysis are less well defined. To investigate this difference, we used two nerve intervention models, sciatic and femoral neurectomy (SFN) v. botox-induced muscle paralysis (BTX) and assessed the resulting femoral bone phenotype and Ti implant osseointegration. Male Sprague Dawley rats (19) were randomly divided into three groups: implant control (n = 5), SFN (n = 7), and BTX (n = 7). Ti implants (microrough/hydrophilic [modSLA], Institut Straumann AG) were placed in the distal metaphysis of each femur on day 24 post-SFN or BTX. Bone and muscle were examined on day 28 after implant insertion. Both nerve intervention models impaired osseointegration. MicroCT and histology indicated that both models had reduced trabecular bone formation. Only BTX reduced cortical bone formation and increased cortical bone porosity. BTX resulted in more bone loss characterized by the least trabecular and cortical bone, as well as osseointegration. Osteoblasts isolated from the tibia exhibited a model-specific phenotype when they were grown on Ti substrates in vitro. Neurectomy caused more severe muscle atrophy than botox injection. These results indicate that neural regulation directly modulates bone formation and osseointegration. Muscle paralysis modulated the effects of loss of neural inputs into bone, supporting the hypothesis that mechanical loading of bone is a factor in achieving successful osseointegration. The different effects of botox and neurectomy on bone phenotype indicated that the sensory and sympathetic nerves had a role in the osseointegration process.

Abstract
Peri-implant bone formation depends on the ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to colonize implant surfaces and differentiate into osteoblasts, but the precise mechanisms controlling this process remain unclear. In vitro, MSCs undergo osteoblastic differentiation on microstructured titanium (Ti) surfaces in the absence of exogenous media supplements and produce factors that promote osteogenesis while regulating osteoclast activity, including semaphorins. The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) on surface-mediated osteoblastic differentiation and determine the hierarchy of this signaling cascade. Human MSCs were cultured on 15 mm grade 2 smooth (pretreatment, PT), hydrophobic-microrough (sand blasted/acid etched, SLA), hydrophilic-microrough Ti (mSLA) (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland), or tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS). Expression of SEMA3A family proteins increased after 7 days of culture, and the increased expression in response to microstructured Ti was dependent on recognition of the surface by integrin α2β1. Exogenous Sema3A increased differentiation whereas differentiation was decreased in cells treated with a Sema3A antibody. Furthermore, Sema3A influenced the production of osteoprotegerin and osteopontin suggesting it as an important local regulator of bone remodeling. Inhibition of Wnt3A and Wnt5A revealed that activation of Sema3A occurs downstream of Wnt5A and may facilitate the translocation of β-catenin bypassing the canonical Wnt3A initiating signal associated with osteoblastic differentiation. Furthermore, chemical inhibition of calmodulin (CaM), Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII), phospholipase A2 (PLA2), protein kinase C (PKC), and BMP receptors suggest that Sema3A could serve as a feedback mechanism for both Wnt5A and BMP2. Here, we show novel roles for Sema3A family proteins in the surface-dependent modulation of MSCs as well as important interactions with pathways known to be associated with osteoblastic differentiation. Moreover, their effects on bone remodeling markers have significant implications for peri-implant bone remodeling and downstream modulation of osteoclastic activity. These results suggest that Sema3A aids in peri-implant bone formation through regulation on multiple stages of osseointegration, making it a potential target to promote osseointegration in patients with compromised bone remodeling.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) target osteoclasts, slowing bone resorption thus providing rationale to support osseointegration. However, BPs may negatively affect osteoblasts, impairing peri-implant bone formation. The goal of this study was to assess the effects BPs have on surface-mediated osteogenesis of osteoblasts. MG63 cells were cultured on 15-mm grade 2 titanium disks: smooth, hydrophobic-microrough, or hydrophilic-microrough (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland). Tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) was used as a control. At confluence, cells were treated with 0, 10-8 , 10-7 , and 10-6 M of alendronate, zoledronate, or ibandronate for 24 hr. Sprague Dawley rats were also treated with 1 μg/kg/day ibandronate or phosphate-buffered saline control for 5 weeks. Calvarial osteoblasts (rat osteoblasts [rOBs]) were isolated, characterized, and cultured on surfaces. Osteogenic markers in the media were quantified using ELISAs. BP treatment reduced osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, bone morphogenetic protein-2, prostaglandin E2 , transforming growth factor β1, interleukin 10, and vascular endothelial growth factor in MG63 cells. The effect was more robust on rough surfaces, and higher concentrations of BPs stunted production to TCPS/PT levels. Ibandronate conditioned rOBs produced less osteogenic markers similar to direct BP treatment. These results suggest that BP exposure jeopardizes the pro-osteogenic response osteoblasts have to microstructured surfaces. Their effects persist in vivo and negatively condition osteoblast response in vitro. Clinically, BPs could compromise osseointegration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study determined whether implant surfaces that promote osseointegration in normal rats can promote osseointegration in osteoporotic rats without pharmacologic intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS Virgin female 8-month-old CD Sprague Dawley rats (N = 25) were ovariectomized. At 6 weeks, microstructured/non-nanostructured/hydrophobic, microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophobic, or microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic Ti implants (Ø2.5 × 3.5 mm; Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) were placed in the distal metaphysis of each femur. At 28 days, bone quality and implant osseointegration were assessed using microCT, histomorphometrics, and removal torque values (RTVs). Calvarial osteoblasts were isolated and cultured for 7 days on Ø15 mm Ti disks processed to exhibit similar surface characteristics as the implants used for the in vivo studies. The phenotype was assessed by measuring the production of osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, BMP2, VEGF, and RANKL. RESULTS Microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic implants promoted increased bone-to-implant contact and RTVs in vivo and increased osteoblastic marker production in vitro compared to microstructured/non-nanostructured/hydrophobic and microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophobic implants, suggesting that osseointegration occurs in osteoporotic animals, and implant surface properties improve its rate. CONCLUSIONS Although all modified implants were able to osseointegrate in rats with OVX-induced osteoporosis without pharmacologic intervention, the degree of osseointegration was greater around microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic implant surfaces. These results suggest that when appropriate microstructure is present, hydrophilicity has a greater influence on Ti implant osseointegration compared to nanostructures. Moreover, modified implant surfaces can exert their control over the altered bone turnover observed in osteoporotic patients to stimulate functional osseointegration. These results provide critical insight for developing implants with improved osseointegration in patients with metabolic disorders of bone remodeling.
