Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation caused by a bacterial infection and is intimately associated with an overactive immune response. Biomaterials are being utilized more frequently in periodontal therapy due to their designability and unique drug delivery system. However, local and systemic immune response reactions driven by the implantation of biomaterials could result in inflammation, tissue damage, and fibrosis, which could end up with the failure of the implantation. Therefore, immunological adjustment of biomaterials through precise design can reduce the host reaction while eliminating the periodontal tissue's long-term chronic inflammation response. It is important to note that macrophages are an active immune system component that can participate in the progression of periodontal disease through intricate polarization mechanisms. And modulating macrophage polarization by designing biomaterials has emerged as a new periodontal therapy technique. In this review, we discuss the role of macrophages in periodontitis and typical strategies for polarizing macrophages with biomaterials. Subsequently, we discuss the challenges and potential opportunities of using biomaterials to manipulate periodontal macrophages to facilitate periodontal regeneration.

A novel porous hydroxyapatite scaffold (pHAMG) enhances angiogenesis and osteogenesis around dental implants by regulating the immune microenvironment. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:6879-6889. [PMID: 37843634 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05304-8] [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: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose was to evaluate whether a novel porous hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffold with a 25-30-µm groove structure (pHAMG) may improve bone osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and bone integration of titanium dental implants in animal models. METHODS The pHAMG was prepared by chemical precipitation method and its elemental composition and crystal structure were evaluated. The ability of the scaffolds to induce ectopic osteogenesis and the ability of scaffolds combined with titanium dental implants to induce orthotopic peri-implant angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and osteointegration were tested after implantation into the femur muscle pocket in rats and the mandibular defects in beagle dogs, respectively. The elemental composition was evaluated by SEM-EDS; the expression of the relevant osteogenic/inflammation marker and the anti-/pro-inflammation markers was evaluated by immunostaining and immunofluorescence, respectively. RESULTS In animal experiments with ectopic and peri-implant osteogenesis, pHAMG resulted in significantly larger neovascularization by hematoxylin-eosin staining, as well as deposition of collagen fibers by Masson staining than HA. Meanwhile, microgrooves in pHAMG upregulate more bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 2 and interleukin-4 (IL-4) and -10 (IL-10) and downregulate more IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) than that in HA. The pHAMG showed greater expression of arginase (Arg)-1 and lower expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) than HA. CONCLUSION The novel pHAMG can better repair bone defects in ectopic and orthotopic model. It also transfers macrophages to anti-inflammatory phenotypes, promoting angiogenic and osteogenesis in scaffolds, and bone integration in implants. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The novel pHAMG induce greater osteogenesis and angiogenesis which could be utilized in the clinical treatment.

[PMID: 35882142 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.212993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Modulation of the immune response following the implantation of biomaterials can have beneficial effects on bone regeneration. This involves complex interactions between the inflammatory and osteogenic cells. Therefore, the study of cell-cell interactions using direct co-culture models integrated with biomaterials is of great interest. This research aimed to study the viability, morphology, and osteogenic activity of preosteoblasts (OBs) co-cultured with pro-inflammatory macrophages (M1s) on the 3D printed (non)patterned surfaces. OBs and M1s remained alive and proliferated actively for 14 days in the mixture of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) and alpha Minimum Essential Medium (α-MEM) (1:1), regardless of the cell ratio in the co-cultures. The spatial organization of the two types of cells changed with the time of culture from an initially uniform cell distribution to the formation of a thick layer of OBs covered by clusters of M1s. On day 7, the expression of PGE2 and TNF-α were upregulated in the co-culture relative to the mono-culture of OBs and M1s. The inflammation decreased differentiation and matrix mineralization of OBs after 28 days of culture. Interestingly, the incorporation of 3D printed submicron pillars into the direct co-culture model enhanced the differentiation of preosteoblasts, as shown by relatively higher RUNX2 expression, thereby revealing the osteoimmunomodulatory potential of such surface patterns.

Abstract
The immunoinflammatory response is the prerequisite step for wound healing and tissue regeneration, and the immunomodulatory effects of biomaterials have attracted increasing attention. Hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2] (HAp), a common calcium phosphate ceramic, due to its structural and functional similarity to the inorganic constituent of natural bones, has been developed for different application purposes such as bone substitutes, tissue engineering scaffolds, and implant coatings. Recently, the interaction between HAp-based materials and the immune system (various immune cells), and the immunomodulatory effects of HAp-based materials on bone tissue regeneration have been explored extensively. Macrophages-mediated regenerative effect by HAp stimulation occupies the mainstream status of immunomodulatory strategies. The immunomodulation of HAp can be manipulated by tuning the physical, chemical, and biological cues such as surface functionalization (physical or chemical modifications), structural and textural characteristics (size, shape, and surface topography), and the incorporation of bioactive substances (cytokines, rare-earth elements, and bioactive ions). Therefore, HAp ceramic materials can contribute to bone regeneration by creating a favorable osteoimmune microenvironment, which would provide a more comprehensive theoretical basis for their further clinical applications. Considering the rapidly developed HAp-based materials as well as their excellent biological performances in the field of regenerative medicine, this review discusses the recent advances concerning the immunomodulatory methods for HAp-based biomaterials and their roles in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The usage of bone substitute granule materials has improved the clinical results of alveolar bone deficiencies treatment and thus broadened applications in implant dentistry. However, because of the complicated mechanisms controlling the foreign body response, no perfect solution can avoid the fibrotic encapsulation of materials till now, which may impair the results of bone regeneration, even cause the implant materials rejection. Recently, the concept of 'osteoimmunology' has been stressed. The outcomes of bone regeneration are proved to be related to the bio-physicochemical properties of biomaterials, which allow them to regulate the biological behaviours of both innate and adaptive immune cells. With the development of single cell transcriptome, the truly heterogeneity of osteo-immune cells has been clarifying, which is helpful to overcome the limitations of traditional M1/M2 macrophage nomenclature and drive the advancements of particulate biomaterials applications. This review aims at introducing the mechanisms of optimal osseointegration regulated by immune systems and provides feasible strategies for the design of next generation 'osteoimmune-smart' particulate bone substitute materials in dental clinic.

Abstract
Scaffolds are an integral part of the regenerative medicine field. The contact of biomaterials with tissue, as was clearly observed over the years, induces immune reactions in a material and patient specific manner, where both surface and bulk properties of scaffolds, together with their 3D architecture, have a significant influence on the outcome. This review presents an overview of the reactions to the biomaterials with a specific focus on clinical complications with the implants in the context of immune reactions and an overview of the studies involving biomaterial properties and interactions with innate immune system cells. We emphasize the impact of these studies on scaffold selection and upscaling of microenvironments created by biomaterials from 2D to 3D using immune cell encapsulation, seeding in a 3D scaffold and co-culture with relevant tissue cells. 3D microenvironments are covered with a specific focus on innate cells since a large proportion of these studies used innate immune cells. Finally, the recent studies on the incorporation of adaptive immune cells in immunomodulatory systems are covered in this review. Biomaterial-immune cell interactions are a critical part of regenerative medicine applications. Current efforts in establishing the ground rules for such interactions following implantation can control immune response during all phases of inflammation. Thus, in the near future for complete functional recovery, tissue engineering and control over biomaterials must be considered at the first step of immune modulation and this review covers these interactions, which have remained elusive up to now.

Abstract
The surface topography of engineered extracellular matrices is one of the most important physical cues regulating the phenotypic polarization of macrophages. However, not much is known about the ways through which submicron (i.e., 100-1000 nm) topographies modulate the polarization of macrophages. In the context of bone tissue regeneration, it is well established that this range of topographies stimulates the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. Since the immune response affects the bone tissue regeneration process, the immunomodulatory consequences of submicron patterns should be studied prior to their clinical application. Here, we 3D printed submicron pillars (using two-photon polymerization technique) with different heights and interspacings to perform the first ever systematic study of such effects. Among the studied patterns, the highest degree of elongation was observed for the cells cultured on those with the tallest and densest pillars. After 3 days of culture with inflammatory stimuli (LPS/IFN-γ), sparsely decorated surfaces inhibited the expression of the pro-inflammatory cellular marker CCR7 as compared to day 1 and to the other patterns. Furthermore, sufficiently tall pillars polarized the M1 macrophages towards a pro-healing (M2) phenotype, as suggested by the expression of CD206 within the first 3 days. As some of the studied patterns are known to be osteogenic, the osteoimmunomodulatory capacity of the patterns should be further studied to optimize their bone tissue regeneration performance.

Abstract
Biomaterials offer a promising approach to repair bone defects. Whereas traditional studies predominantly focused on optimizing the osteogenic capacity of biomaterials, less focus has been on the immune response elicited by them. However, the immune and skeletal systems extensively interact, a concept which is referred to as 'osteoimmunology'. This realization has fuelled the development of biomaterials with favourable osteoimmunomodulatory (OIM) properties, aiming to modulate the immune response and to support bone regeneration, thereby affecting the success of an implant. Given the plethora of in vitro assays used to evaluate the OIM properties of biomaterials, it may be challenging to select the right methods to produce conclusive results. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive and practical guide for researchers interested in studying the OIM properties of biomaterials in vitro. After a concise overview of the concept of osteoimmunology, emphasis is put on the methodologies that are regularly used to evaluate the OIM properties of biomaterials. First, a description of the most commonly used cell types and cell culture media is provided. Second, typical experimental set-ups and their relevant characteristics are discussed. Third, a detailed overview of the generally used methodologies and readouts, including cell type-specific markers and time points of analysis, is given. Finally, we highlight the promise of advanced approaches, namely microarrays, bioreactors and microfluidic-based systems, and the potential that these may offer to the osteoimmunology field. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Osteoimmunology focuses on the connection and communication between the skeletal and immune systems. This interaction has been recognized to play an important role in the clinical success of biomaterials, which has resulted in an increasing amount of research on the osteoimmunomodulatory (OIM) properties of biomaterials. However, the amount of literature makes it challenging to extract the information needed to design experiments from beginning to end, and to compare obtained results to existing work. This article intends to serve as a guide for those aiming to learn more about the commonly used experimental approaches in the field. We cover early-stage choices, such as cell types and experimental set-ups, but also discuss specific assays, including cell markers and time points of analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The conditioned medium of calcined tooth powder (CTP-CM) is a type of biomimetic mineralized material and well contributing to bone healing and bone formation in vivo. However, little is known about the effect of CTP-CM on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) as well as the underlying mechanisms. METHODS ALP activity assay was conducted to select the concentration with the highest ALP level, which was used for the following experiments. Cell proliferation was measured by cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis. Expression levels of osteogenic markers in CTP-CM-induced hPDLSCs were evaluated with real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot. Mineralization of CTP-CM-induced hPDLSCs was evaluated by alizarin red staining. Furthermore, the involvement of NF-κB pathway was examined by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. RESULTS 20 μg/ml was selected for the further experiments. Functional studies demonstrated that CTP-CM exerted almost no influence on the proliferation of hPDLSCs and CTP-CM increased the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Mechanistically, CTP-CM leads to activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. When treated with BMS345541, the osteogenic differentiation of CTP-CM-treated hPDLSCs was significantly attenuated. CONCLUSION CTP-CM can promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs via activating NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
The regulatory role of the immune system in maintaining bone homeostasis and restoring its functionality, when disturbed due to trauma or injury, has become evident in recent years. The polarization of macrophages, one of the main constituents of the immune system, into the pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotype has great repercussions for cellular crosstalk and the subsequent processes needed for proper bone regeneration such as angiogenesis and osteogenesis. In certain scenarios, the damaged osseous tissue requires the placement of synthetic bone grafts to facilitate the healing process. Inorganic biomaterials such as bioceramics or bioactive glasses are the most widely used due to their resemblance to the mineral phase of bone and superior osteogenic properties. The immune response of the host to the inorganic biomaterial, which is of an exogenous nature, might determine its fate, leading either to active bone regeneration or its failure. Therefore, various strategies have been employed, like the modification of structural/chemical features or the incorporation of bioactive molecules, to tune the interplay with the immune cells. Understanding how these particular modifications impact the polarization of macrophages and further osteogenic and osteoclastogenic events is of great interest in view of designing a new generation of osteoimmunomodulatory materials that support the regeneration of osseous tissue during all stages of bone healing.

Abstract
The critical role of the immune system in host defense against foreign bodies and pathogens has been long recognized. With the introduction of a new field of research called osteoimmunology, the crosstalk between the immune and bone-forming cells has been studied more thoroughly, leading to the conclusion that the two systems are intimately connected through various cytokines, signaling molecules, transcription factors and receptors. The host immune reaction triggered by biomaterial implantation determines the in vivo fate of the implant, either in new bone formation or in fibrous tissue encapsulation. The traditional biomaterial design consisted in fabricating inert biomaterials capable of stimulating osteogenesis; however, inconsistencies between the in vitro and in vivo results were reported. This led to a shift in the development of biomaterials towards implants with osteoimmunomodulatory properties. By endowing the orthopedic biomaterials with favorable osteoimmunomodulatory properties, a desired immune response can be triggered in order to obtain a proper bone regeneration process. In this context, various approaches, such as the modification of chemical/structural characteristics or the incorporation of bioactive molecules, have been employed in order to modulate the crosstalk with the immune cells. The current review provides an overview of recent developments in such applied strategies.

Abstract
Metformin, a cost-effective and safe orally administered antidiabetic drug used by millions of patients, has exhibited great interest for its potential osteogenic-promoting properties in different types of cells, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Diabetic osteopathy is a common comorbidity of diabetes mellitus; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms of metformin on the physiological processes of MSCs, under high glucose condition, remain unknown. To determine the effects of metformin on the regulatory roles of proliferation and differentiation in MSCs, under high glucose conditions, osteogenesis after metformin treatment was detected with Alizarin Red S and ALP staining. The results demonstrated that high glucose levels significantly inhibited cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation under high glucose conditions. Notably, addition of metformin reversed the inhibitory effects induced by high glucose levels on cell proliferation and osteogenesis. Furthermore, high glucose levels significantly decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), whereas treatment with metformin helped maintain MMP. Further analysis of mitochondrial function revealed that metformin significantly promoted ATP synthesis, mitochondrial DNA mass and mitochondrial transcriptional activity, which were inhibited by high glucose culture. Furthermore, metformin significantly scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by high glucose levels, and regulated the ROS-AKT-mTOR axis inhibited by high glucose levels, suggesting the protective effects of metformin against high glucose levels via regulation of the ROS-AKT-mTOR axis. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated the protective role of metformin on the physiological processes of MSCs, under high glucose condition and highlighted the potential molecular mechanism underlying the effect of metformin in promoting cell proliferation and osteogenesis under high glucose condition.

Mol Med Rep 2020; 22:2801-2809. [PMID: 32700750 PMCID: PMC7453552 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2020.11352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2019] [Accepted: 02/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite scaffolds (HASs) are widely studied as suitable materials for bone replacement scaffolds due to their chemical similarities to organic materials. In our previous study, a novel HAS with a 25–30-µm groove structure (HAS-G) exhibited enhanced osteogenesis of bone mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) compared with HAS, potentially by modulating the macrophage-induced immune microenvironment. However, the exact effects of different surface patterns on the physiological processes of attached cells is not known. The present study aimed to determine the effects of HAS-G on the osteogenesis and physiological processes in BMSCs. Cell counting kit-8 assays and propidium iodide staining followed by flow cytometry were performed, and the results demonstrated that both in normal medium and differentiating medium, HAS-G promoted cell proliferation by decreasing the proportion of G1/G0 cells and decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in BMSCs compared with HAS. Detection markers of osteogenesis revealed that compared with HAS, HAS-G increased runt-related transcription factor 2, osteocalcin and osteopontin protein levels and promoted osteogenesis, which was further confirmed by Alizarin Red S staining. Following JC-1 staining, it was observed that HAS-G maintained the mitochondrial membrane potential, similar to that achieved by N-acetylcysteine pretreatment. In addition, compared with those of HAS, HAS-G decreased mitochondrial ROS levels, which potentially contributed to the promotion of osteogenesis. The results also demonstrated that HAS-G inhibited mitophagy induced by ROS accumulation and ATP synthesis compared with HAS. In conclusion, HAS-G decreased ROS accumulation and mitophagy and thus promoted osteogenesis of BMSCs, indicating that ROS modulation of HAS-G may serve a key role in osteogenesis.
