Abstract
Introduction: The development of reliable treatments for infected or potentially infected bone loss resulting from open fractures and non-unions is extremely urgent, especially to reduce the prolonged courses of antimicrobial therapy to which affected patients are subjected. Numerous bone graft substitutes have been used over the years, but there are currently no effective solutions to treat critical bone loss, especially in the presence of infection. The present study evaluated the use of the biomorphic calcium phosphate bone scaffold b. Bone™, based on a next-generation resorbable biomimetic biomaterial, in bone reconstruction surgery in cases of infection. Methods: Using an "in vitro 3D bone fracture model" to predict the behavior of this drug delivery system during critical bone loss at an infected (or potentially infected) site, the effects of scaffolds loaded with gentamicin or vancomycin on the viability and differentiation capacity of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were evaluated. Results: This scaffold, when loaded with gentamicin or vancomycin, exhibits a typical drug release curve that determines the inhibitory effects on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Escherichia coli, as well as relative biofilm formation. Discussion: The study demonstrates that b.bone scaffolds can effectively address key challenges in orthopedic surgery and patient care by inhibiting bacterial growth and biofilm formation through rapid, potent antibiotic release, reducing the risk of treatment failure due to resistance, and providing a promising solution for bone infections and improved patient outcomes. Future studies could explore the combination of different antibiotics on these scaffolds for more tailored and effective treatments against post-traumatic osteomyelitis pathogens.

Abstract
Introduction Bacterial persistence is considered one of the main causal factors for regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) failure in immature permanent teeth. This interference is claimed to be caused by the interaction of bacteria that reside in the root canal with the stem cells that are one of the essentials for RET. The aim of the study was to investigate whether prolonged exposure of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) to bacterial remnants of Fusobacterium nucleatum, Actinomyces gerensceriae, Slackia exigua, Enterococcus faecalis, Peptostreptococcaceae yurii, commonly found in infected traumatized root canals, and the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus gasseri and Limosilactobacillus reuteri, can alter SCAP's inflammatory response and mineralization potential. Methods To assess the effect of bacterial remnants on SCAP, we used UV-C-inactivated bacteria (as cell wall-associated virulence factors) and bacterial DNA. Histochemical staining using Osteoimage Mineralization Assay and Alizarin Red analysis was performed to study SCAP mineralization, while inflammatory and osteo/odontogenic-related responses of SCAPs were assessed with Multiplex ELISA. Results We showed that mineralization promotion was greater with UV C-inactivated bacteria compared to bacterial DNA. Immunofluorescence analysis detected that the early mineralization marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was increased by the level of E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) positive control in the case of UV-C-inactivated bacteria; meanwhile, DNA treatment decreased the level of ALP compared to the positive control. SCAP's secretome assessed with Multiplex ELISA showed the upregulation of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-8, GM-CSF, IL-1b, neurotrophic factor BDNF, and angiogenic factor VEGF, induced by UV-C-killed bacteria. Discussion The results suggest that long term stimulation (for 21 days) of SCAP with UV-C-inactivated bacteria stimulate their mineralization and inflammatory response, while DNA influence has no such effect, which opens up new ideas about the nature of RET failure.

Abstract
Bone fractures have always been a burden to patients due to their common occurrence and severe complications. Traditionally, operative treatments have been widely used in the clinic for implanting, despite the fact that they can only achieve bone fixation with limited stability and pose no effect on promoting tissue growth. In addition, the nondegradable implants usually need a secondary surgery for implant removal, otherwise they may block the regeneration of bones resulting in bone nonunion. To overcome the low degradability of implants and avoid multiple surgeries, tissue engineers have investigated various biodegradable materials for bone regeneration, whereas the significance of stability of long-term bone fixation tends to be neglected during this process. Combining the traditional orthopedic implantation surgeries and emerging tissue engineering, we believe that both bone fixation and bone regeneration are indispensable factors for a successful bone repair. Herein, we define such a novel idea as bone regenerative fixation (BRF), which should be the main future development trend of biodegradable materials.

Abstract
Core decompression (CD) with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is an effective therapy for early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Preconditioning of MSCs, using inflammatory mediators, is widely used in immunology and various cell therapies. We developed a three-dimensional printed functionally graded scaffold (FGS), made of β-TCP and PCL, for cell delivery at a specific location. The present study examined the efficacy of CD treatments with genetically modified (GM) MSCs over-expressing PDGF-BB (PDGF-MSCs) or GM MSCs co-over-expressing IL-4 and PDGF-BB and preconditioned for three days of exposure to lipopolysaccharide and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (IL-4-PDGF-pMSCs) using the FGS for treating steroid-induced ONFH in rabbits. We compared CD without cell-therapy, with IL-4-PDGF-pMSCs alone, and with FGS loaded with PDGF-MSCs or IL-4-PDGF-pMSCs. For the area inside the CD, the bone volume in the CD alone was higher than in both FGS groups. The IL-4-PDGF-pMSCs alone and FGS + PDGF-MSCs reduced the occurrence of empty lacunae and improved osteoclastogenesis. There was no significant difference in angiogenesis among the four groups. The combined effect of GM MSCs or pMSCs and the FGS was not superior to the effect of each alone. To establish an important adjunctive therapy for CD for early ONFH in the future, it is necessary and essential to develop an FGS that delivers biologics appropriately and provides structural and mechanical support.

Abstract
Aging of the global population increases the incidence of osteoporosis and associated fragility fractures, significantly impacting patient quality of life and healthcare costs. The acute inflammatory reaction is essential to initiate healing after injury. However, aging is associated with "inflammaging", referring to the presence of systemic low-level chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation impairs the initiation of bone regeneration in elderly patients. This review examines current knowledge of the bone regeneration process and potential immunomodulatory therapies to facilitate bone healing in inflammaging.Aged macrophages show increased sensitivity and responsiveness to inflammatory signals. While M1 macrophages are activated during the acute inflammatory response, proper resolution of the inflammatory phase involves repolarizing pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages to an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype associated with tissue regeneration. In aging, persistent chronic inflammation resulting from the failure of M1 to M2 repolarization leads to increased osteoclast activation and decreased osteoblast formation, thus increasing bone resorption and decreasing bone formation during healing.Inflammaging can impair the ability of stem cells to support bone regeneration and contributes to the decline in bone mass and strength that occurs with aging. Therefore, modulating inflammaging is a promising approach for improving bone health in the aging population. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory properties that may benefit bone regeneration in inflammation. Preconditioning MSCs with pro-inflammatory cytokines affects MSCs' secretory profile and osteogenic ability. MSCs cultured under hypoxic conditions show increased proliferation rates and secretion of growth factors. Resolution of inflammation via local delivery of anti-inflammatory cytokines is also a potential therapy for bone regeneration in inflammaging. Scaffolds containing anti-inflammatory cytokines, unaltered MSCs, and genetically modified MSCs can also have therapeutic potential. MSC exosomes can increase the migration of MSCs to the fracture site and enhance osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis.In conclusion, inflammaging can impair the proper initiation of bone regeneration in the elderly. Modulating inflammaging is a promising approach for improving compromised bone healing in the aging population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of present study was to reveal the molecular mechanisms responsible for both adipogenic differentiation and dedifferentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). METHODS Microarray data GSE36923 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between adipogenically differentiated cells vs undifferentiated bone marrow-derived MSCs, adipogenically differentiated cells vs dedifferentiated cells samples at day 7 and adipogenically differentiated cells vs dedifferentiated cells samples at day 35 were screened, and overlapped DEGs across the three groups were analyzed. The underlying functions of the upregulated and downregulated DEGs were investigated by Gene ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. The protein-protein interaction network was constructed, and hub genes were obtained subsequently. Hub genes were verified with GSE113253 dataset, and then miRNA-gene network and TF-gene network were constructed. RESULTS A total of 284 upregulated DEGs and 376 downregulated DEGs overlapped across the three groups. PPAR signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway, carbon metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes, biosynthesis of amino acids, citrate cycle (TCA cycle) and 2-Oxocarboxylic acid metabolism were the top 10 pathways involving in the upregulated DEGs, and graft-versus-host disease, allograft rejection, viral myocarditis, cell adhesion molecules, phagosome, type I diabetes mellitus, antigen processing and presentation, autoimmune thyroid disease, intestinal immune network for IgA production and rheumatoid arthritis were the top 10 pathways in downregulated DEGs. After validation, the 8 hub genes were IL6, PPARG, CCL2, FASN, CEBPA, ADIPOQ, FABP4 and LIPE. Ten key miRNAs were hsa-mir-27a-3p, hsa-mir-182-5p, hsa-mir-7-5p, hsa-mir-16-5p, hsa-mir-1-3p, hsa-mir-155-5p, hsa-mir-21-3p, hsa-mir-34a-5p, hsa-mir-27a-5p and hsa-mir-30c-5p, and 10 key TFs were TFDP1, GTF2A2, ZNF584, NRF1, ZNF512, NFRKB, CEBPG, KLF16, GLIS2 and MXD4. CONCLUSION Our study constructed miRNA-gene network and TF-gene network involved in both adipogenic differentiation and dedifferentiation of MSCs, contributing to enhancing the efficiency of MSCs transplantation in soft tissue defect repair and developing more potent remedies for adipogenesis-related skeletal disorders.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Basic experimental study. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to clarify the role of macrophages (Mφs) in the osteogenic differentiation of ligamentum flavum (LF) cells. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Mφs and secreted factors are involved in the regulation of cell osteogenic differentiation, and play an important role in the process of heterotopic ossification. Whether Mφs are involved in the development of ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) have not been reported. METHODS The expression of CD68+ Mφs in ossified LF tissue was identified by immunohistochemical staining. THP-1 cells were polarized to M1 and M2, and identified by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. The alkaline phosphatase activity and osteogenic differentiation-related gene expression in LF cells were evaluated following incubation with each Mφs conditioned medium (CM). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the pro-inflammatory cytokines in the supernatants, and qPCR was used to detect the expression of the corresponding receptors in the LF cells after incubation with the CM. LF cells were induced with CM-M1 in the presence of neutralizing antibodies to further test whether cytokines secreted by M1 Mφs impacted their osteogenic differentiation. RESULTS CD68+ Mφs were found on the OLF samples. THP-1 cells were polarized into M1 and M2, and both M1 and M2 Mφs promoted the osteogenic differentiation of LF cells. The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1 β, and IL-6 in M1 Mφ supernatants were greater than those in M2, and greater levels of these cytokine receptors were observed in LF cells induced with CM-M1 than those with CM-M2. Osteogenic differentiation of LF cells induced by CM-M1 decreased after IL-6 was neutralized; however, not after IL-1β and TNF-α were neutralized. CONCLUSION M1 Mφ-derived IL-6 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of LF cells, which may be a pathway in which Mφs regulate the osteogenic differentiation of LF cells.

Abstract
The repair of large bone defects remains a challenging problem in bone tissue engineering. Ischemia and hypoxia in the bone defect area make it difficult for seed cells to survive and differentiate, which fail to perform effective tissue regeneration. Current oxygen-producing materials frequently encounter problems such as a rapid degradation rate, insufficient mechanical properties, difficult molding, and cumbersome fabrication. Here, a novel three-dimensional (3D) printed integrated bionic oxygenated scaffold was fabricated with gelatin-CaO2 microspheres, polycaprolactone (PCL), and nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) using low-temperature molding 3D printing technology. The scaffold had outstanding mechanical properties with bionic hierarchical porous structures. In vitro reports showed that the scaffold exhibited excellent cytocompatibility and could release O2 sustainably for more than 2 weeks, which significantly enhanced the survival, growth, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under hypoxia. In vivo experiments revealed that the scaffold facilitated efficient bone repair after it was transplanted into a rabbit calvarial defect model. This result may be due to the scaffolds reducing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α accumulation, improving the expression of osteogenic regulatory transcription factors, and accelerating osteogenesis. In summary, the integrated bionic PCL/nHA/CaO2 scaffold had excellent capabilities in sustainable O2 release and bone regeneration, which provided a promising clinical strategy for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Introduction To study human physiological and pathological bone remodeling while addressing the principle of replacement, reduction and refinement of animal experiments (3Rs), human in vitro bone remodeling models are being developed. Despite increasing safety-, scientific-, and ethical concerns, fetal bovine serum (FBS), a nutritional medium supplement, is still routinely used in these models. To comply with the 3Rs and to improve the reproducibility of such in vitro models, xenogeneic-free medium supplements should be investigated. Human platelet lysate (hPL) might be a good alternative as it has been shown to accelerate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and improve subsequent mineralization. However, for a human in vitro bone model, hPL should also be able to adequately support osteoclastic differentiation and subsequent bone resorption. In addition, optimizing co-culture medium conditions in mono-cultures might lead to unequal stimulation of co-cultured cells. Methods We compared supplementation with 10% FBS vs. 10%, 5%, and 2.5% hPL for osteoclast formation and resorption by human monocytes (MCs) in mono-culture and in co-culture with (osteogenically stimulated) human MSCs. Results and Discussion Supplementation of hPL can lead to a less donor-dependent and more homogeneous osteoclastic differentiation of MCs when compared to supplementation with 10% FBS. In co-cultures, osteoclastic differentiation and resorption in the 10% FBS group was almost completely inhibited by MSCs, while the supplementation with hPL still allowed for resorption, mostly at low concentrations. The addition of hPL to osteogenically stimulated MSC mono- and MC-MSC co-cultures resulted in osteogenic differentiation and bone-like matrix formation, mostly at high concentrations. Conclusion We conclude that hPL could support both osteoclastic differentiation of human MCs and osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs in mono- and in co-culture, and that this can be balanced by the hPL concentration. Thus, the use of hPL could limit the need for FBS, which is currently commonly accepted for in vitro bone remodeling models.

Recent advances in smart stimuli-responsive biomaterials for bone therapeutics and regeneration. Bone Res 2022; 10:17. [PMID: 35197462 PMCID: PMC8866424 DOI: 10.1038/s41413-021-00180-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 119] [Impact Index Per Article: 59.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Revised: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone defects combined with tumors, infections, or other bone diseases are challenging in clinical practice. Autologous and allogeneic grafts are two main traditional remedies, but they can cause a series of complications. To address this problem, researchers have constructed various implantable biomaterials. However, the original pathological microenvironment of bone defects, such as residual tumors, severe infection, or other bone diseases, could further affect bone regeneration. Thus, the rational design of versatile biomaterials with integrated bone therapy and regeneration functions is in great demand. Many strategies have been applied to fabricate smart stimuli-responsive materials for bone therapy and regeneration, with stimuli related to external physical triggers or endogenous disease microenvironments or involving multiple integrated strategies. Typical external physical triggers include light irradiation, electric and magnetic fields, ultrasound, and mechanical stimuli. These stimuli can transform the internal atomic packing arrangements of materials and affect cell fate, thus enhancing bone tissue therapy and regeneration. In addition to the external stimuli-responsive strategy, some specific pathological microenvironments, such as excess reactive oxygen species and mild acidity in tumors, specific pH reduction and enzymes secreted by bacteria in severe infection, and electronegative potential in bone defect sites, could be used as biochemical triggers to activate bone disease therapy and bone regeneration. Herein, we summarize and discuss the rational construction of versatile biomaterials with bone therapeutic and regenerative functions. The specific mechanisms, clinical applications, and existing limitations of the newly designed biomaterials are also clarified.

Abstract
The use of genetically modified (GM) mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and preconditioned MSCs (pMSCs) may provide further opportunities to improve the outcome of core decompression (CD) for the treatment of early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). GM interleukin-4 (IL4) over-expressing MSCs (IL4-MSCs), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB over-expressing MSCs (PDGF-BB-MSCs), and IL4-PDGF-BB co-over-expressing MSCs (IL4-PDGF-BB-MSCs) and their respective pMSCs were used in this in vitro study and compared with respect to cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. IL4-MSCs, PDGF-BB-MSCs, IL4-PDGF-BB-MSCs, and each pMSC treatment significantly increased cell proliferation compared to the MSC group alone. The percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the IL4-MSC and IL4-pMSC groups was significantly lower than in the MSC group. However, the percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the PDGF-BB-MSC group was significantly higher than in the MSC and PDGF-BB-pMSC groups. The percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSC was significantly higher than in the IL4-PDGF-BB-MSC group. There were no significant differences in the percentage of Alizarin red-stained area between the MSC and IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSC groups. The use of PDGF-BB-MSCs or IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSCs increased cell proliferation. Furthermore, PDGF-BB-MSCs promoted osteogenic differentiation. The addition of GM MSCs may provide a useful supplementary cell-based therapy to CD for treatment of ONFH.

The efficacy of lapine preconditioned or genetically modified IL4 over-expressing bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells in corticosteroid-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head in rabbits.

Abstract
Cell-based therapy for augmentation of core decompression (CD) using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is a promising treatment for early stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Recently, the therapeutic potential for immunomodulation of osteogenesis using preconditioned (with pro-inflammatory cytokines) MSCs (pMSCs), or by the timely resolution of inflammation using MSCs that over-express anti-inflammatory cytokines has been described. Here, pMSCs exposed to tumor necrosis factor-alpha and lipopolysaccharide for 3 days accelerated osteogenic differentiation in vitro. Furthermore, injection of pMSCs encapsulated with injectable hydrogels into the bone tunnel facilitated angiogenesis and osteogenesis in the femoral head in vivo, using rabbit bone marrow-derived MSCs and a model of corticosteroid-associated ONFH in rabbits. In contrast, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that genetically-modified MSCs that over-express IL4 (IL4-MSCs), established by using a lentiviral vector carrying the rabbit IL4 gene under the cytomegalovirus promoter, accelerated proliferation of MSCs and decreased the percentage of empty lacunae in the femoral head. Therefore, adjunctive cell-based therapy of CD using pMSCs and IL4-MSCs may hold promise to heal osteonecrotic lesions in the early stage ONFH. These interventions must be applied in a temporally sensitive fashion, without interfering with the mandatory acute inflammatory phase of bone healing.

Abstract
Bone-tissue defects affect millions of people worldwide. Despite being common treatment approaches, autologous and allogeneic bone grafting have not achieved the ideal therapeutic effect. This has prompted researchers to explore novel bone-regeneration methods. In recent decades, the development of bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds has been leading the forefront of this field. As researchers have provided deep insights into bone physiology and the bone-healing mechanism, various biomimicking and bioinspired BTE scaffolds have been reported. Now it is necessary to review the progress of natural bone physiology and bone healing mechanism, which will provide more valuable enlightenments for researchers in this field. This work details the physiological microenvironment of the natural bone tissue, bone-healing process, and various biomolecules involved therein. Next, according to the bone physiological microenvironment and the delivery of bioactive factors based on the bone-healing mechanism, it elaborates the biomimetic design of a scaffold, highlighting the designing of BTE scaffolds according to bone biology and providing the rationale for designing next-generation BTE scaffolds that conform to natural bone healing and regeneration.

Abstract
The essentiality of macrophages for biomaterial-mediated osteogenesis has been increasingly recognized. However, it is still unclear what is the specific role and molecular mechanisms of macrophages and material properties in the regulation of osteogenesis. As an interdisciplinary field exploring the cross-talk between immune and skeletal systems, osteoimmunology has shifted the perspective of bone substitute materials from immunosuppressive materials to immunomodulatory materials. To fabricate an immunomodulatory Ti implant, alginate/chitosan multilayer films were fabricated on the surface of titania nanotubes (TNTs) to control the release of an anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-4 according to our previous work. The osteogenic effects and regulation mechanisms of the immunomodulatory Ti implants were investigated in vitro in different BMSCs culture modes. Alginate/chitosan multilayer-coated samples (with or without IL-4 loading) showed better direct osteogenic ability than TNTs by promoting biomineralization and up-regulating osteogenic gene expression (BMP1α, ALP, OPN, OCN) of BMSCs. Notably, material-induced macrophage polarization, M1 and M2, enhanced early and mid-stage osteogenesis of BMSCs via distinct pathways: M1 activated both BMP6/SMADs and Wnt10b/β-catenin pathways; while M2 activated TGF-β/SMADs pathway. Material surface properties dominated in regulating late osteogenesis probably due to the surface chemical composition (alginate, chitosan and Ca2+, etc.). Due to synergistic effects of material-induced inflammatory microenvironment and material surface properties, IL-4-loaded samples exhibited superior osteogenic capability through co-activation of three signaling pathways. The in vivo studies in rat bone defect model revealed that IL-4-loaded immunomodulatory implants successfully achieved macrophage phenotypic transition from pro-inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory M2 and subsequently improved new bone formation.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid (GC)‐induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GC‐ONFH) is considered as one of the most serious side effects of long‐term or over‐dose steroid therapy. However, the underlying cause mechanisms are still not fully investigated. We firstly established a rat model of GC‐ONFH and injected lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and methylprednisolone (MPS). We found that the expressions of Cx43, Runx2, ALP and COLⅠ were more decreased than the normal group. Secondly, the isolated rat bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) were treated with dexamethasone (Dex) in vitro, and the expressions of Cx43, Runx2, ALP and COLⅠ were decreased significantly. Moreover, the results of immunofluorescence staining, alizarin red staining, EdU assay and CCK8 showed that the osteogenic differentiation and the proliferation capacity of BMSCs were decreased after induced by Dex. A plasmid of lentivirus‐mediated Cx43 (Lv‐Cx43) gene overexpression was established to investigate the function of Cx43 in BMSCs under the Dex treatment. Findings demonstrated that the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation abilities were enhanced after Lv‐Cx43 transfected to BMSCs, and these beneficial effects of Lv‐Cx43 were significantly blocked when PD988059 (an inhibitor of ERK1/2) was used. In conclusion, the overexpression of Cx43 could promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via activating the ERK1/2 signalling pathway, which provide a basic evidence for further study on the detailed function of Cx43 in GC‐ONFH.

Abstract
1. The Tibetan chicken, which is an indigenous breed living on the Tibetan Plateau, exhibits hypoxic adaptations to its high-altitude environment. However, the molecular mechanism behind this hypoxic adaptation is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate differentially expressed miRNAs involved in hypoxic adaptation through high-throughput RNA sequencing. 2. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to verify the differentially expressed miRNAs and their target genes in chicken embryonic heart tissues and fibroblasts. Luciferase reporter assays were performed to confirm the relationship between miRNAs and target genes. 3. The study identified 37 differentially expressed miRNAs in Tibetan chicken embryonic heart tissues, including 20 up- and 17 down-regulated miRNAs, compared to those found in lowland chickens. Differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly involved in biological processes, such as cell cycle arrest, toll-like receptor signalling pathways, and I-kappa B kinase/NF-kappa B signalling. The data showed that gga-miR-34 c-5p was significantly upregulated in Tibetan chicken tissues and hypoxic fibroblasts, while EHHADH, a target gene of gga-miR-34 c-5p, was downregulated. Moreover, gga-miR-34 c-5p dramatically decreased the luciferase activity of the wild EHHADH, whereas no effect on the mutational EHHADH was found. 4. This study identified miRNA expression profiles in the Tibetan chicken and suggested that miR-34 c-5p acts as a novel miRNA associated with hypoxic adaptation. This facilitates the understanding of molecular mechanisms that underlie long-term exposure to hypoxia.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy is a promising strategy for bone repair. Furthermore, the innate immune system, and specifically macrophages, plays a crucial role in the differentiation and activation of MSCs. The anti-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-4 (IL-4) converts pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages into a tissue regenerative M2 phenotype, which enhances MSC differentiation and function. We developed lentivirus-transduced IL-4 overexpressing MSCs (IL-4 MSCs) that continuously produce IL-4 and polarize macrophages toward an M2 phenotype. In the current study, we investigated the potential of IL-4 MSCs delivered using a macroporous gelatin-based microribbon (μRB) scaffold for healing of critical-size long bone defects in Mice. IL-4 MSCs within μRBs enhanced M2 marker expression without inhibiting M1 marker expression in the early phase, and increased macrophage migration into the scaffold. Six weeks after establishing the bone defect, IL-4 MSCs within μRBs enhanced bone formation and helped bridge the long bone defect. IL-4 MSCs delivered using macroporous μRB scaffold is potentially a valuable strategy for the treatment of critical-size long bone defects.

Burst, Short, and Sustained Vitamin D 3 Applications Differentially Affect Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Adipose Stem Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21093202. [PMID: 32366057 PMCID: PMC7247321 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21093202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2020] [Revised: 04/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Incorporation of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 (vitD3) into tissue-engineered scaffolds could aid the healing of critical-sized bone defects. We hypothesize that shorter applications of vitD3 lead to more osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) than a sustained application. To test this, release from a scaffold was mimicked by exposing MSCs to exactly controlled vitD3 regimens. Human adipose stem cells (hASCs) were seeded onto calcium phosphate particles, cultured for 20 days, and treated with 124 ng vitD3, either provided during 30 min before seeding ([200 nM]), during the first two days ([100 nM]), or during 20 days ([10 nM]). Alternatively, hASCs were treated for two days with 6.2 ng vitD3 ([10 nM]). hASCs attached to the calcium phosphate particles and were viable (~75%). Cell number was not affected by the various vitD3 applications. VitD3 (124 ng) applied over 20 days increased cellular alkaline phosphatase activity at Days 7 and 20, reduced expression of the early osteogenic marker RUNX2 at Day 20, and strongly upregulated expression of the vitD3 inactivating enzyme CYP24. VitD3 (124 ng) also reduced RUNX2 and increased CYP24 applied at [100 nM] for two days, but not at [200 nM] for 30 min. These results show that 20-day application of vitD3 has more effect on hASCs than the same total amount applied in a shorter time span.

Abstract
Biomaterial integration into bone requires optimal surface conditions to promote osteoprogenitor behavior, which is affected by integrin-binding via arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD). RGD-functionalized supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) might be interesting as biomaterial coating in bone regeneration, because they allow integration of proteins, for example, growth factors, cytokines, and/or antibacterial agents. Since it is unknown whether and how they affect osteoprogenitor adhesion and differentiation, the aim was to investigate adhesion, focal adhesion formation, morphology, proliferation, and osteogenic potential of pre-osteoblasts cultured on RGD-functionalized SLBs compared to unfunctionalized SLBs and poly-l-lysine (PLL). After 17 hr, pre-osteoblast density on SLBs without or with RGD was similar, but lower than on PLL. Cell surface area, elongation, and number and size of phospho-paxillin clusters were also similar. Cells on SLBs without or with RGD were smaller, more elongated, and had less and smaller phospho-paxillin clusters than on PLL. OPN expression was increased on SLBs with RGD compared to PLL. Moreover, after 1 week, COL1a1 expression was increased on SLBs without or with RGD. In conclusion, pre-osteoblast adhesion and enhanced differentiation were realized for the first time on RGD-functionalized SLBs, pointing to a new horizon in the management of bone regeneration using biomaterials. Together with SLBs nonfouling nature and the possibility of adjusting SLB fluidity and peptide content make SLBs highly promising as substrate to develop innovative biomimetic coatings for biomaterials in bone regeneration.

Abstract
The optimal treatment for complex fractures and large bone defects is an important unsolved issue in orthopedics and related specialties. Approximately 5-10% of fractures fail to heal and develop non-unions. Bone healing can be characterized by three partially overlapping phases: the inflammatory phase, the repair phase, and the remodeling phase. Eventual healing is highly dependent on the initial inflammatory phase, which is affected by both the local and systemic responses to the injurious stimulus. Furthermore, immune cells and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) participate in critical inter-cellular communication or crosstalk to modulate bone healing. Deficiencies in this inter-cellular exchange, inhibition of the natural processes of acute inflammation, and its resolution, or chronic inflammation due to a persistent adverse stimulus can lead to impaired fracture healing. Thus, an initial and optimal transient stage of acute inflammation is one of the key factors for successful, robust bone healing. Recent studies demonstrated the therapeutic potential of immunomodulation for bone healing by the preconditioning of MSCs to empower their immunosuppressive properties. Preconditioned MSCs (also known as "primed/ licensed/ activated" MSCs) are cultured first with pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNFα and IL17A) or exposed to hypoxic conditions to mimic the inflammatory environment prior to their intended application. Another approach of immunomodulation for bone healing is the resolution of inflammation with anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL4, IL10, and IL13. In this review, we summarize the principles of inflammation and bone healing and provide an update on cellular interactions and immunomodulation for optimal bone healing.

IL-6 counteracts the inhibitory effect of IL-4 on osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells. J Cell Physiol 2019; 234:20520-20532. [PMID: 31016754 PMCID: PMC6767193 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.28652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2018] [Revised: 02/10/2019] [Accepted: 02/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Fracture repair is characterized by cytokine production and hypoxia. To better predict cytokine modulation of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-aided bone healing, we investigated whether interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-6, and their combination, affect osteogenic differentiation, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production, and/or mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activation by MSCs under normoxia or hypoxia. Human adipose stem cells (hASCs) were cultured with IL-4, IL-6, or their combination for 3 days under normoxia (20% O 2 ) or hypoxia (1% O 2 ), followed by 11 days without cytokines under normoxia or hypoxia. Hypoxia did not alter IL-4 or IL-6-modulated gene or protein expression by hASCs. IL-4 alone decreased runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and collagen type 1 (COL1) gene expression, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and VEGF protein production by hASCs under normoxia and hypoxia, and decreased mineralization of hASCs under hypoxia. In contrast, IL-6 increased mineralization of hASCs under normoxia, and enhanced RUNX2 gene expression under normoxia and hypoxia. Neither IL-4 nor IL-6 affected phosphorylation of the mTORC1 effector protein P70S6K. IL-4 combined with IL-6 diminished the inhibitory effect of IL-4 on ALP activity, bone nodule formation, and VEGF production, and decreased RUNX2 and COL1 expression, similar to IL-4 alone, under normoxia and hypoxia. In conclusion, IL-4 alone, but not in combination with IL-6, inhibits osteogenic differentiation and angiogenic stimulation potential of hASCs under normoxia and hypoxia, likely through pathways other than mTORC1. These results indicate that cytokines may differentially affect bone healing and regeneration when applied in isolation or in combination.
