Acidic preconditioning induced intracellular acid adaptation to protect renal injury via dynamic phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase-dependent activation of sodium hydrogen exchanger 1. Cell Commun Signal 2024; 22:393. [PMID: 39118129 PMCID: PMC11308338 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-024-01773-w] [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: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Disruptions in intracellular pH (pHi) homeostasis, causing deviations from the physiological range, can damage renal epithelial cells. However, the existence of an adaptive mechanism to restore pHi to normalcy remains unclear. Early research identified H+ as a critical mediator of ischemic preconditioning (IPC), leading to the concept of acidic preconditioning (AP). This concept proposes that short-term, repetitive acidic stimulation can enhance a cell's capacity to withstand subsequent adverse stress. While AP has demonstrated protective effects in various ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury models, its application in kidney injury remains largely unexplored. METHODS An AP model was established in human kidney (HK2) cells by treating them with an acidic medium for 12 h, followed by a recovery period with a normal medium for 6 h. To induce hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury, HK2 cells were subjected to hypoxia for 24 h and reoxygenation for 1 h. In vivo, a mouse model of IPC was established by clamping the bilateral renal pedicles for 15 min, followed by reperfusion for 4 days. Conversely, the I/R model involved clamping the bilateral renal pedicles for 35 min and reperfusion for 24 h. Western blotting was employed to evaluate the expression levels of cleaved caspase 3, cleaved caspase 9, NHE1, KIM1, FAK, and NOX4. A pH-sensitive fluorescent probe was used to measure pHi, while a Hemin/CNF microelectrode monitored kidney tissue pH. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to visualize the localization of NHE1, NOX4, and FAK, along with the actin cytoskeleton structure in HK2 cells. Cell adhesion and scratch assays were conducted to assess cell motility. RESULTS Our findings demonstrated that AP could effectively mitigate H/R injury in HK2 cells. This protective effect and the maintenance of pHi homeostasis by AP involved the upregulation of Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1) expression and activity. The activity of NHE1 was regulated by dynamic changes in pHi-dependent phosphorylation of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) at Y397. This process was associated with NOX4-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Furthermore, AP induced the co-localization of FAK, NOX4, and NHE1 in focal adhesions, promoting cytoskeletal remodeling and enhancing cell adhesion and migration capabilities. CONCLUSIONS This study provides compelling evidence that AP maintains pHi homeostasis and promotes cytoskeletal remodeling through FAK/NOX4/NHE1 signaling. This signaling pathway ultimately contributes to alleviated H/R injury in HK2 cells.

Combination of in silico and cell culture strategies to predict biomaterial performance: Effects of sintering temperature on the biological properties of hydroxyapatite.

Abstract
Advances in methodologies to evaluate biomaterials brought an explosive growth of data, ensuing computational challenges to better analyzing them and allowing for high-throughput profiling of biological systems cost-efficiently. In this sense, we have applied bioinformatics tools to better understand the biological effect of different sintering temperatures of hydroxyapatite (abbreviated HA; at 1100, 1150, and 1250°C) on osteoblast performance. To do, we have better analyzed an earlier deposited study, in which the access code is E-MTAB-7219, which the authors have explored different in silico tools on this purpose. In this study, differential gene expression analyses were performed using the gene set variation analysis (GSVA) algorithm from the transcriptomes respecting the thermal changes of HA, which were validated using exclusively in vitro strategies. Furthermore, in silico approaches elected biomarkers during cell behavior in response to different sintering temperatures of HA, and it was further validated using cell culture and qPCR technologies. Altogether, the combination of those strategies shows the capacity of sintered HA at 1250°C to present a better performance in organizing an adequate microenvironment favoring bone regeneration, angiogenesis and material resorption stimulus once it has promoted higher involvement of genes such as CDK2, CDK4 (biomarkers of cell proliferation), p15, Osterix gene (related with osteogenic differentiation), RANKL (related with osteoclastogenesis), VEGF gene (related with angiogenesis), and HIF1α (related with hypoxia microenvironment). Altogether, the combination of in silico and cell culture strategies shows the capacity of sintered HA at 1250°C in guaranteeing osteoblast differentiation and it can be related in organizing an adequate microenvironment favoring bone regeneration, angiogenesis, and material resorption stimulus.

J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 81:127337. [PMID: 38000168 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2023.127337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The growing use of zirconia as a ceramic material in dentistry is attributed to its biocompatibility, mechanical properties, esthetic appearance, and reduced bacterial adhesion. These favorable properties make ceramic materials a viable alternative to commonly used titanium alloys. Mimicking the physiological properties of blood flow, particularly the mechanosignaling in endothelial cells (ECs), is crucial for enhancing our understanding of their role in the response to zirconia exposure. METHODS In this study, EC cultures were subjected to shear stress while being exposed to zirconia for up to 3 days. The conditioned medium obtained from these cultures was then used to expose osteoblasts for a duration of 7 days. To investigate the effects of zirconia on osteoblasts, we examined the expression of genes associated with osteoblast differentiation, including Runx2, Osterix, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin genes. Additionally, we assessed the impact of mechanosignaling-related angiocrine factors on extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling by measuring the activities of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMP2 and MMP9) during the acquisition of the osteogenic phenotype, which precedes mineralization. RESULTS Our data revealed that mechanosignaling-related angiocrine factors play a crucial role in promoting an osteoblastic phenotype in response to zirconia exposure. Specifically, exposed osteoblasts exhibited significantly higher expression levels of genes associated with osteoblast differentiation, such as Runx2, Osterix, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin genes. Furthermore, the activities of MMP2 and MMP9, which are involved in ECM remodeling, were modulated by mechanosignaling-related angiocrine factors. This modulation is likely an initial event preceding the mineralization phase. CONCLUSION Based on our findings, we propose that mechanosignaling drives the release of angiocrine factors capable of modulating the osteogenic phenotype at the biointerface with zirconia. This process creates a microenvironment that promotes wound healing and osseointegration. Moreover, these results highlight the importance of considering the mechanosignaling of endothelial cells in the modulation of bone healing and osseointegration in the context of blood vessel effects. Our data provide new insights and open avenues for further investigation into the influence of mechanosignaling on bone healing and the osseointegration of dental devices.

The Action of Angiocrine Molecules Sourced from Mechanotransduction-Related Endothelial Cell Partially Explain the Successful of Titanium in Osseointegration. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:415. [PMID: 37623660 PMCID: PMC10455987 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14080415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Since Branemark's findings, titanium-based alloys have been widely used in implantology. However, their success in dental implants is not known when considering the heterogenicity of housing cells surrounding the peri-implant microenvironment. Additionally, they are expected to recapitulate the physiological coupling between endothelial cells and osteoblasts during appositional bone growth during osseointegration. To investigate whether this crosstalk was happening in this context, we considered the mechanotransduction-related endothelial cell signaling underlying laminar shear stress (up to 3 days), and this angiocrine factor-enriched medium was harvested further to use exposing pre-osteoblasts (pOb) for up to 7 days in vitro. Two titanium surfaces were considered, as follows: double acid etching treatment (w_DAE) and machined surfaces (wo_DAE). These surfaces were used to conditionate the cell culture medium as recommended by ISO10993-5:2016, and this titanium-enriched medium was later used to expose ECs. First, our data showed that there is a difference between the surfaces in releasing Ti molecules to the medium, providing very dynamic surfaces, where the w_DAE was around 25% higher (4 ng/mL) in comparison to the wo_DAE (3 ng/mL). Importantly, the ECs took up some of this titanium content for up to 3 days in culture. However, when this conditioned medium was used to expose pOb for up to 7 days, considering the angiocrine factors released from ECs, the concentration of Ti was lesser than previously reported, reaching around 1 ng/mL and 2 ng/mL, respectively. Thereafter, pOb exposed to this angiocrine factor-enriched medium presented a significant difference when considering the mechanosignaling subjected to the ECs. Shear-stressed ECs showed adequate crosstalk with osteoblasts, stimulating the higher expression of the Runx2 gene and driving higher expressions of Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone sialoprotein (BSP), and osteocalcin. Mechanotransduction-related endothelial cell signaling as a source of angiocrine molecules also stimulated the higher expression of the Col3A1 gene in osteoblasts, which suggests it is a relevant protagonist during trabecular bone growth. In fact, we investigated ECM remodeling by first evaluating the expression of genes related to it, and our data showed a higher expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and MMP9 in response to mechanosignaling-based angiocrine molecules, independent of considering w_DAE or the wo_DAE, and this profile reflected on the MMP2 and MMP9 activities evaluated via gelatin-based zymography. Complimentarily, the ECM remodeling seemed to be a very regulated mechanism in mature osteoblasts during the mineralization process once both TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 and 2 (TIMP1 and TIMP2, respectively) genes were significantly higher in response to mechanotransduction-related endothelial cell signaling as a source of angiocrine molecules. Altogether, our data show the relevance of mechanosignaling in favoring ECs' release of bioactive factors peri-implant, which is responsible for creating an osteogenic microenvironment able to drive osteoblast differentiation and modulate ECM remodeling. Taking this into account, it seems that mechanotransduction-based angiocrine molecules explain the successful use of titanium during osseointegration.

J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:jfb14040188. [PMID: 37103278 PMCID: PMC10142760 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14040188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim: The success of dental implants depends on osseointegration can be compromised by well-known related adverse biological processes, such as infection and diabetes. Previously, nanohydroxyapatite-coated titanium surfaces (nHA_DAE) have been shown to contain properties that promote osteogenesis by enhancing osteoblast differentiation. In addition, it was hypothesized to drive angiogenesis in high-glucose microenvironments, mimicking diabetes mellitus (DM). On the other hand, the null hypothesis would be confirmed if no effect was observed in endothelial cells (ECs). Materials and methods: Titanium discs presenting the differential surfaces were previously incubated in an FBS-free cell culture medium for up to 24 h, which was, thereafter, supplemented with 30.5 mM of glucose to expose human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs, ECs) for 72 h. They were then harvested, and the sample was processed to provide molecular activity of specific genes related to EC survival and activity by using qPCR, and the conditioned medium by ECs was used to evaluate the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Results: Our data guaranteed better performance of this nanotechnology-involved titanium surface to this end once the adhesion and survival characteristics were ameliorated by promoting a higher involvement of β1-Integrin (~1.5-fold changes), Focal Adhesion Kinases (FAK; ~1.5-fold changes) and SRC (~2-fold changes) genes. This signaling pathway culminated with the cofilin involvement (~1.5-fold changes), which guaranteed cytoskeleton rearrangement. Furthermore, nHA_DAE triggered signaling that was able to drive the proliferation of endothelial cells once the cyclin-dependent kinase gene was higher in response to it, while the P15 gene was significantly down-regulated with an impact on the statement of angiogenesis. Conclusions: Altogether, our data show that a nanohydroxyapatite-coated titanium surface ameliorates the EC performance in a high-glucose model in vitro, suggesting its potential application in DM patients.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the main pharmacological basis and mechanism of action of Gujiansan in the treatment of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH). Methods The active constituents and targets of Gujiansan were screened by using TCMSP and other databases, and relevant disease targets were obtained by analyzing the microarray of SANFH in the GEO database. The intersection of the two was taken to obtain the potential targets of Gujiansan for the treatment of SANFH, and key active constituents were screened with the “active constituent-target” network constructed by the Cytoscape software; then, the STRING database was used to construct the protein interaction network to screen the key targets. The Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses of key targets were performed by the DAVID database, and the relationship between the “key active constituent-key target-key signaling pathway” was explored. Finally, the molecular docking between key active constituents and key targets was verified. In addition, qPCR detection technology was used to evaluate the preventive and therapeutic effects of key active constituents of Gujiansan in a rat osteoblast model of SANFH to verify the possible mechanism of the effect of Gujiansan in the treatment of SANFH. Results (1) 106 active constituents and 55 targets were obtained for the treatment of SANFH. (2) Quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, cryptotanshinone, and naringenin were the key active constituents for the treatment of SANFH. (3) IL1B, STAT3, CAT, PTGS2, and MAPK3 were the key targets for the treatment of SANFH. (4) IL1B, STAT3, CAT, PTGS2, MAPK3, and HMOX1 are key targets in the protein interaction network. (5) DAVID enrichment analysis mainly covers the regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity, positive regulation of cytokine production, and response to oxidative stress and other biological processes, involving IL-17, AGE-RAGE, C-type lectin receptor, and other signaling pathways. (6) Gujiansan is a multitarget and multisignaling pathway for the treatment of SANFH. (7) Good binding activity exists between key active constituents and key targets. Conclusion This study analyzes the potential mechanism of action of Gujiansan in the treatment of SANFH with network pharmacology, which can provide a reference for the further study of its pharmacological basis and targets.

Abstract
The cell-biomaterial interface is highly complex; thousands of molecules and many processes participate in its formation. Growing demand for improved biomaterials has highlighted the need to understand the structure and functions of this interface. Proteomic methods offer a viable alternative to the traditional in vitro techniques for analyzing such systems. Magnesium is a promoter of cell adhesion and osteogenesis. Here, we used the LC-MS/MS to compare the protein expression profiles of human osteoblasts (HOb) exposed to sol-gel coatings without (MT) and with Mg (MT1.5Mg) for 1, 3, and 7 days. PANTHER, DAVID, and IPA databases were employed for protein identification and data analysis. Confocal microscopy and gene expression analysis were used for further characterization. Exposure to MT1.5Mg increased the HOb cell area and the expression of SP7, RUNX2, IBP3, COL3A1, MXRA8, and FBN1 genes. Proteomic analysis showed that MT1.5Mg affected the early osteoblast maturation (PI3/AKT, mTOR, ERK/MAPK), insulin metabolism, cell adhesion (integrin, FAK, actin cytoskeleton regulation) and oxidative stress pathways. Thus, the effects of Mg on cell adhesion and osteogenesis are rather complex, affecting several pathways rather than single processes. Our analysis also confirms the potential of proteomics in biomaterial characterization, showing a good correlation with in vitro results.

Abstract
Kaempferol (KP), as a natural anti-inflammatory compound, has been reported to have curative effects on alleviating senile osteoporosis (SOP), which is an inflammation-related musculoskeletal disease, but the molecular mechanisms remain unclear due to scanty relevant studies. We predicted the targets of KP and SOP, and the common targets of them were subsequently used to carry out PPI analysis. Moreover, we adopted GO and KEGG enrichment analysis and molecular docking to explore potential mechanisms of KP against SOP. There were totally 152 KP-related targets and 978 SOP-related targets, and their overlapped targets comprised 68 intersection targets. GO enrichment analysis showed 1529 biological processes (p < 0.05), which involved regulation of inflammatory response, oxidative stress, regulation of bone resorption and remodeling, osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation, etc. Moreover, KEGG analysis revealed 146 items including 44 signaling pathways (p < 0.05), which were closely linked to TNF, IL-17, NF-kappa B, PI3K-Akt, MAPK, estrogen, p53, prolactin, VEGF, and HIF-1 signaling pathways. By means of molecular docking, we found that kaempferol is bound with the key targets' active pockets through some connections such as hydrogen bond, pi-alkyl, pi-sigma, pi-pi Stacked, pi-pi T-shaped, and van der Waals, illustrating that kaempferol has close combination with the key targets. Collectively, various targets and pathways involve in the process of kaempferol treatment against SOP through regulating inflammatory response, oxidative stress, bone homeostasis, etc. Moreover, our study first reported that kaempferol may regulate core targets' expression with involvement of inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and bone homeostasis, thus treating SOP.

Protein tyrosine phosphatases in skeletal development and diseases. Bone Res 2022; 10:10. [PMID: 35091552 PMCID: PMC8799702 DOI: 10.1038/s41413-021-00181-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Skeletal development and homeostasis in mammals are modulated by finely coordinated processes of migration, proliferation, differentiation, and death of skeletogenic cells originating from the mesoderm and neural crest. Numerous molecular mechanisms are involved in these regulatory processes, one of which is protein posttranslational modifications, particularly protein tyrosine phosphorylation (PYP). PYP occurs mainly through the action of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), modifying protein enzymatic activity, changing its cellular localization, and aiding in the assembly or disassembly of protein signaling complexes. Under physiological conditions, PYP is balanced by the coordinated action of PTKs and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Dysregulation of PYP can cause genetic, metabolic, developmental, and oncogenic skeletal diseases. Although PYP is a reversible biochemical process, in contrast to PTKs, little is known about how this equilibrium is modulated by PTPs in the skeletal system. Whole-genome sequencing has revealed a large and diverse superfamily of PTP genes (over 100 members) in humans, which can be further divided into cysteine (Cys)-, aspartic acid (Asp)-, and histidine (His)-based PTPs. Here, we review current knowledge about the functions and regulatory mechanisms of 28 PTPs involved in skeletal development and diseases; 27 of them belong to class I and II Cys-based PTPs, and the other is an Asp-based PTP. Recent progress in analyzing animal models that harbor various mutations in these PTPs and future research directions are also discussed. Our literature review indicates that PTPs are as crucial as PTKs in supporting skeletal development and homeostasis.

Abstract
Prenatal vanadium exposure is reported to be associated with restricted fetal growth and adverse birth outcomes. However, trimester-specific vanadium exposure in relation to early-childhood growth still remains unclear. A total of 1873 Chinese mother-infant pairs from whom a complete series of maternal urinary samples were collected over three stages of pregnancy were included from 2014 to 2016. The urinary concentrations of vanadium were analyzed. Children's anthropometric parameters were measured at birth, 6, 12 and 24 months. In boys, each doubling increase in vanadium concentrations at middle pregnancy was inversely associated with weight-for-length [- 9.07% (-17.21%, -0.93%)] and BMI z-score [- 9.66% (-18.05%, -1.28%)] at 24 months. Moreover, vanadium exposure at late pregnancy was negatively associated with weight [- 9.85% (-16.42%, -3.28%)], weight-for-length [- 11.00% (-18.40%, -3.60%)], and BMI z-scores [- 11.05% (-18.67%, -3.42%)] at 24 months in boys. However, the negative associations were not observed in girls, and we found evidence for sex difference (FDR p for interaction=0.01, 0.01 and 0.03 for weight, weight-for-length and BMI z-scores, respectively). Prenatal vanadium exposure may have an adverse effect on early-childhood growth, and the middle and late pregnancy could be windows of vulnerability for the adverse effects of vanadium exposure on growth development.

Abstract
In the past decade, significant progress has been made in understanding the role of protein tyrosine phosphatase as a positive regulator of tumor progression. In this scenario, our group was one of the first to report the involvement of the low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMWPTP or ACP1) in the process of resistance and migration of tumor cells. Later, we and others demonstrated a positive correlation between the amount of this enzyme in human tumors and the poor prognosis. With this information in mind, we asked if LMWPTP contribution to metastasis, would it have an action beyond the primary tumor site. We know that the amount of this enzyme in the tumor cell correlates positively with the ability of cancer cells to interact with platelets, an indication that this enzyme is also important for the survival of these cells in the bloodstream. Here, we discuss several molecular aspects that support the idea of LMWPTP as a signaling hub of cancer hallmarks. Chemical and genetic modulation of LMWPTP proved to shut down signaling pathways associated with cancer aggressiveness. Therefore, advances in the development of LMWPTP inhibitors have great applicability in human diseases such as cancer.

Low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP2) protein can potentially modulate virulence of the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Mol Biochem Parasitol 2021; 242:111360.

Abstract
The Entamoeba histolytica parasite is the causative agent of amebiasis, infecting approximately 1% of the world population and causing 100,000 deaths per year. It binds to Fibronectin (FN), activating signaling pathways regulated by kinases and phosphatases. EhLMW-PTPs genes from E. histolytica encode for Low Molecular Weight Tyrosine Phosphatases expressed in trophozoites and amoebic cysts. The role of these phosphatases in the virulence of the parasite has not yet been well characterized. Our results showed a differential expression of the EhLMW-PTPs, at the mRNA and protein levels, in an asynchronous trophozoites culture. Furthermore, we observed that trophozoites transfected that overexpressed EhLMW-PTP2 phagocytized fewer erythrocytes, possibly due to decreased phagocytic cups, and showed deficiencies in adherence to FN and less cytopathic effect. These analyzes suggest that the parasite's EhLMW-PTPs have an essential role in the mechanisms of proliferation, adhesion, and phagocytosis, regulating its pathogenicity.

Abstract
It has been shown that 17β-estradiol (E2) helps to prevent bone loss. This study was undertaken to verify whether E2 action in human osteoblasts involves changes in the transcriptional profile of the TNF-α, IFN-γ, NF-κB, TRAIL, TGF-β, MMP2, MMP9, RECK, TIMP1, TIMP2, CDK2, CDK4, SRC, RUNX2, and SHH genes. Infraphysiological doses of E2 elevated mRNAs in all genes except for INF-γ, TRAIL, and TGF-β. Importantly, a significant increase in the CDKs -2 and -4 genes was found, which strongly suggests cell cycle progression, with a potential dependency of Src involvement, as well as a suppression of the osteoblast differentiation machinery, with ECM remodeling being involved. These data suggest that E2 plays an important role in bone formation and remodeling, and Src seems to play a pivotal role in driving cell proliferation and ECM remodeling. Taken together, these findings contribute to an understanding of the effects of infraphysiological E2 on modulating bone homeostasis, favoring bone resorption, and leading to osteoporosis.

Abstract
Novel-biofunctionalized surfaces are required to improve the performance of endosseous implants, which are mainly related to the resistance against biocorrosion, as well as for the consideration of osteoinductive phenomena. Among different strategies, the use of bisphosphonate molecules as linkers between titanium dioxide (TiO2) surfaces and proteins is a distinctive approach, one in which bisphosphonate could play a role in the osseointegration. Thus, to address this issue, we proposed a novel biofunctionalization of TiO2 surfaces using sodium alendronate (ALN) as a linker and bovine serum albumin as the protein. Physicochemical analysis of the functionalized surfaces was performed using contact angle analyses and surface roughness measurements, which indicated an efficient functionalization. The biocompatibility of the functionalized surfaces was analyzed through the adhesion behavior of the pre-osteoblasts onto the samples. Overall, our data showed a significant improvement concerning the cell adhesion by modulating the adhesion cell-related set of genes. The obtained results show that for modified surfaces there is an increase of up to 100 times in the percentage of cells adhered when compared to the control, besides the extracellular matrix remodeling seemed to be an essential prerequisite for the early stages of cell adhesion on to the biomaterials, which was assayed by evaluating the matrix metalloproteinase activities as well as the gene activations. In the expressions of the Bsp and Bglap2 genes, for the group containing ALN (TiO2 + ALN), it was observed an increase in expression (approximately sixfold change) when compared to the control. Altogether, our data clearly showed that the bisphosphonate-biofunctionalized surface enhanced the biocompatibility of titanium and claims to further progress preclinical in vivo experimentation.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is highly involved in bone homeostasis by intervening osteoclast or osteoblast differentiation. Interestingly, ROS that are known as oxidizing agents exert dose-dependent biphasic properties in bone remodeling, including preventing osteoblast activity but accelerating osteoclast resorption. ROS mainly composed of superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide, and two-electron reduction product hydrogen peroxide, which are important components to regulate bone cell metabolism and function in mammal skeleton. These free radicals can be partly produced in bone and boosted in an inflammation state. Although numerous researches have emphasized the impacts of ROS on bone cell biology and verified the mechanism of ROS signaling cascades, the recapitulatory commentary is necessary. In this review article, we particularly focus on the regulation of the intracellular ROS and its potential mechanism impacting on cell-signaling transduction in osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation for preferable understanding the pathogenesis and searching for novel therapeutic protocols for human bone diseases.

The Impact of Bioactive Surfaces in the Early Stages of Osseointegration: An In Vitro Comparative Study Evaluating the HAnano® and SLActive® Super Hydrophilic Surfaces. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:3026893.

Abstract
There is an increased effort on developing novel and active surfaces in order to accelerate their osteointegration, such as nanosized crystalline hydroxyapatite coating (HAnano®). To better understand the biological behavior of osteoblasts grown on HAnano® surface, the set of data was compared with SLActive®, a hydrophilic sandblasted titanium surface. Methodologically, osteoblasts were seeded on both surfaces up to 72 hours, to allow evaluating cell adhesion, viability, and set of genes encoding proteins related with adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Our data shows HAnano® displays an interesting substrate to support cell adhesion with typical spread morphologic cells, while SLActive®-adhering cells presented fusiform morphology. Our data shows that the cellular adhesion mechanism was accompanied with upexpression of integrin β1, Fak, and Src, favoring the assembling of focal adhesion platforms and coupling cell cycle progression (upmodulating of Cdk2, Cdk4, and Cdk6 genes) in response to HAnano®. Additionally, both bioactive surfaces promoted osteoblast differentiation stimulus, by activating Runx2, Osterix, and Alp genes. Although both surfaces promoted Rankl gene expression, Opg gene expression was higher in SLActive® and this difference reflected on the Rankl/Opg ratio. Finally, Caspase1 gene was significantly upmodulated in response to HAnano® and it suggests an involvement of the inflammasome complex. Collectively, this study provides enough evidences to support that the nanohydroxyapatite-coated surface provides the necessary microenvironment to drive osteoblast performance on dental implants and these stages of osteogenesis are expected during the early stages of osseointegration.

Abstract
Literature has reported that up to 50% of dental implants may be affected by peri-implantitis, a bacteria-induced chronic inflammatory process, which promotes osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and inhibits bone formation, leading to progressive bone loss around implants. Current evidence points toward an increased risk for the development of peri-implantitis in both obesity/metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes mellitus (DM) conditions relative to the healthy population. Currently, there is no effective treatment for peri-implantitis and the 50% prevalence in MetS and DM, along with its predicted increase in the worldwide population, presents a major concern in implant dentistry as hyperglycemic conditions are associated with bone-healing impairment; this may be through dysfunction of osteocalcin-induced glucose metabolism. The MetS/DM proinflammatory systemic condition and altered immune/microbiome response affect both catabolic and anabolic events of bone-healing that include increased osteoclastogenesis and compromised osteoblast activity, which could be explained by the dysfunction of insulin receptor that led to activation of signals related with osteoblast differentiation. Furthermore, chronic hyperglycemia along with associated micro- and macro-vascular ailments leads to delayed/impaired wound healing due to activation of pathways that are particularly important in initiating events linked to inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis; this may be through deactivation of AKT/PKB protein, which possesses a pivotal role in drive survival and eNOS signaling. This review presents an overview of the local and systemic mechanisms synergistically affecting bone-healing impairment in MetS/DM individuals, as well as a rationale for hierarchical animal model selection, in an effort to characterize peri-implantitis disease and treatment.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a relevant mechanism to be considered for the success of bone healing, even considering endosseous implantable devices, providing adequate delivery of substances necessaries for the cell viability and bone de novo deposition. Within of the repertory of metal-based implantable alloys, cobalt-chromium (CoCr) has emerged with very interesting properties for biomedical applications. Additionally, we have shown that released molecules from implants devices are able to modulate cells away and because that we hypothesized these released molecules might act on endothelial cells. In order to better address this issue, we investigated the effect of Co-Cr-enriched medium on endothelial cells (HUVECs), considering a biological model subjecting those cells to shear-stress to partially mimic the physiological environment and further allow investigating intracellular pathways responsible to drive cytoskeletal rearrangement, cell viability and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling processes. Considering the analysis of the metalloproteinases (MMPs) activities, our data indicates an intense ECM remodeling in response to CoCr-enriched medium suggesting some role on angiogenesis once ECM remodeling is prerequisite to cell growth. This was better addressed by revealing its involvement on modifying both mRNA expression and protein levels of members of the MAPK family. Additionally, the expression of CDK4 gene was modulated within the cell response to Co-Cr-enriched medium, while the modulation in the expression of P15 and P21 indicates an important regulatory mechanism required. Overall, our results demonstrate that trace of CoCr elements triggers decisive intracellular signaling in shear-stressed endothelial cells, suggesting influence on angiogenesis-related mechanism and they bring novel insights to explain the biological activity of CoCr as it has been emerged as interesting biomedical materials within the medical and dentistry fields.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have emerged as promising nanomaterials for human health and although it has achieved some progress on this matter, their application within bioengineering is not fully addressed. This prompted to subject fibroblasts to two compositions of LDHs (Mg2 Al-Cl and Zn2 Al-Cl), considering an acute response. First, LDH particles are addressed by scanning electron microscopy, and no significant effect of the cell culture medium on the shape of LDHs particles is reported although it seems to adsorb some soluble proteins as proposed by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. These LDHs release magnesium, zinc, and aluminum, but there is no cytotoxic or biocompatibility effects. The data show interference to fibroblast adhesion by driving the reorganization of actin-based cytoskeleton, preliminarily to cell cycle progression. Additionally, these molecular findings are validated by performing a functional wound-healing assay, which is accompanied by a dynamic extracellular matrix remodeling in response to the LDHs. Altogether, the results show that LDHs nanomaterials modulate cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration, delineating new advances on the biomaterial field applied in the context of soft tissue bioengineering, which must be explored in health disorders, such as wound healing in burn injuries.

Abstract
Lutein is a member of the xanthophyll family of carotenoids, which are known to prevent hypoxia-induced cell damage in the eye by removing free radicals. However, its role in other tissues is controversial, and the effects of lutein on bone tissues are unknown. To identify a possible role of lutein in bone tissues, we examined the effects of lutein on bone formation and bone resorption and on femoral bone mass in mice. Lutein enhanced the formation of mineralized bone nodules in cultures of osteoblasts. On the other hand, lutein clearly suppressed 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-induced bone resorption as measured by pit formation in organ culture of mouse calvaria. In co-cultures of bone marrow cells and osteoblasts, lutein suppressed 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-induced osteoclast formation. In cultures of bone marrow macrophages, lutein suppressed soluble RANKL, the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) ligand, induced osteoclast formation. When five-week-old male mice were orally administered lutein for 4 weeks, the femoral bone mass was clearly enhanced in cortical bone, as measured by bone mineral density in dual X-ray absorptiometry and micro computed tomography (µCT) analyses. The present study indicates that lutein enhances bone mass in growing mice by suppressing bone resorption and stimulating bone formation. Lutein may be a natural agent that promotes bone turnover and may be beneficial for bone health in humans.

Nano hydroxyapatite-blasted titanium surface creates a biointerface able to govern Src-dependent osteoblast metabolism as prerequisite to ECM remodeling. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2017; 163:321-328.

Abstract
Over the last several years, we have focused on the importance of intracellular signaling pathways in dynamically governing the biointerface between pre-osteoblast and surface of biomaterial. Thus, this study investigates the molecular hallmarks involved in the pre-osteoblast relationship with different topography considering Machined (Mc), Dual Acid-Etching (DAE), and nano hydroxyapatite-blasted (nHA) groups. There was substantial differences in topography of titanium surface, considering Atomic Force Microscopy and water contact angle (Mc = 81.41 ± 0.01; DAE = 97.18 ± 0.01; nHA = 40.95 ± 0.02). Later, to investigate their topography differences on biological responses, pre-osteoblast was seeded on the different surfaces and biological samples were collected after 24 h (to consider adhesion signaling) and 10 days (to consider differentiation signaling). Preliminary results evidenced significant differences in morphological changes of pre-osteoblasts mainly resulting from the interaction with the DAE and nHA, distinguishing cellular adaptation. These results pushed us to analyze activation of specific genes by exploring qPCR technology. In sequence, we showed that Src performs crucial roles during cell adhesion and later differentiation of the pre-osteoblast in relationship with titanium-based biomaterials, as our results confirmed strong feedback of the Src activity on the integrin-based pathway, because integrin-ß1 (∼5-fold changes), FAK (∼12-fold changes), and Src (∼3.5-fold changes) were significantly up-expressed when Src was chemically inhibited by PP1 (5 μM). Moreover, ECM-related genes were rigorously reprogrammed in response to the different surfaces, resulting on Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) activities concomitant to a significant decrease of MMP inhibitors. In parallel, we showed PP1-based Src inhibition promotes a significant increase of MMP activity. Taking all our results into account, we showed for the first time nano hydroxyapatite-blasted titanium surface creates a biointerface able to govern Src-dependent osteoblast metabolism as pre-requisite to ECM remodeling.

Abstract
We evaluated the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation through reactive oxygen species (ROS) by application of low-intensity ultrasound (LIPUS) to MC-3 T3 E1 pre-osteoblasts. The cells were subjected to one LIPUS application for either 10 or 20 min, and the control group was exposed to a sham transducer. For ROS inhibition, 10 μM diphenylene iodonium (DPI) was added to the cells an hour before LIPUS application. Samples were collected 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after LIPUS application, and cells were evaluated for ROS generation, cell viability, gene expression and MAPK activation by immunoblot analyses. LIPUS caused a significant increase in ROS and cell viability in the non-DPI-treated group. Expression of RUNX2, OCN and OPN mRNA was higher in the LIPUS-treated groups at 1 h in both the DPI-treated and non-DPI-treated groups; RUNX2 and OCN mRNA levels increased at 6 h. ERK1/2 activation was increased in the LIPUS-treated groups. These results indicate that LIPUS activates MAPK by ROS generation in MC-3 T3 E1 pre-osteoblasts.

Abstract
It is important to understand the cellular and molecular events that occur at the cell-material interface of implants used for bone repair. The mechanisms involved in the initial stages of osteoblast interactions with the surface of the implant material must be decisive for cell fating surrounding them. In order to address this issue, we decided to investigate if conditioned medium for dental implants was able to modulate murine pre-osteoblast metabolism. First, we determined the concentration of titanium (Ti)-containing conditioned medium and found that it was 2-fold increased (p < 0.0001). We have reported that this conditioned medium significantly up-modulated pre-osteoblast adhesion up to 24 h (p < 0.0001). In parallel, our results showed that both phosphorylations of FAK (focal adhesion kinase) at Y397 (p < 0.0011) and Cofilin at Ser03 (p < 0.0053) were also up-modulated, as well as for Rac1 expression (p < 0.0175); both of them are involved with cell adaptation by rearranging cytoskeleton actin filaments. Thereafter, Ti-containing medium stimulated ROS (reactive oxygen species) production by pre-osteoblast cells, and it is very possible that ROS compromised PTP-1B (protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B) activation since PTP1B was down-phosphorylated (p < 0.0148). The low PTP activity guarantees the phosphorylation of FAK at Y-residue, causing better pre-osteoblast adhesion in response to Ti-containing medium. Altogether, these data indicate that ROS indirectly modulate FAK phosphorylation in response to Ti-released from dental implants. Taken the results in account, these data showed for the first time that the implanted dental device is able to dynamically affect surrounding tissues, mainly by promoting a better performance of the pre-osteoblast cells. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Originally identified as a low molecular weight acid phosphatase, LMW-PTP is actually a protein tyrosine phosphatase that acts on many phosphotyrosine-containing cellular proteins that are primarily involved in signal transduction. Differences in sequence, structure, and substrate recognition as well as in subcellular localization in different organisms enable LMW-PTP to exert many different functions. In fact, during evolution, the LMW-PTP structure adapted to perform different catalytic actions depending on the organism type. In bacteria, this enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of group 1 and 4 capsules, but it is also a virulence factor in pathogenic strains. In yeast, LMW-PTPs dephosphorylate immunophilin Fpr3, a peptidyl-prolyl-cis-trans isomerase member of the protein chaperone family. In humans, LMW-PTP is encoded by the ACP1 gene, which is composed of three different alleles, each encoding two active enzymes produced by alternative RNA splicing. In animals, LMW-PTP dephosphorylates a number of growth factor receptors and modulates their signalling processes. The involvement of LMW-PTP in cancer progression and in insulin receptor regulation as well as its actions as a virulence factor in a number of pathogenic bacterial strains may promote the search for potent, selective and bioavailable LMW-PTP inhibitors.

Abstract
Recently, the proportion of Candida tropicalis in clinical isolates has significantly increased. Some C. tropicalis strains colonize the skin or mucosal surfaces as commensals; others trigger invasive infection. To date, the pathogenicity of C. tropicalis has not been thoroughly researched. This study reports several virulence factors, including biofilm and hyphae formation, proteinase, phospholipase, lipase and hemolytic activity, in 52 clinical isolates of C. tropicalis collected from five hospitals in four provinces of China. Some C. tropicalis tended to produce more hyphae than others in the same circumstance. Six C. tropicalis strains with different morphologies were injected into mice via the tail vein, and the survival proportions and fungal burdens of the strains were evaluated. Hyphal production by C. tropicalis was associated with stronger virulence. RNA sequencing revealed that C. tropicalis with more hyphae up-regulated several genes involved in morphological differentiation and oxidative response, including IF2, Atx1, and Sod2. It appears that hyphal formation plays a vital role in the pathogenicity of C. tropicalis, and interacts with the oxidative stress response to strengthen the organism's virulence.
