Abstract
Various studies have been investigated the phenotypic and functional distinctions of craniofacial and long bone cells involved in bone regeneration. However, the process of bone tissue regeneration after bone grafting involves complicated interactions between different cell types at the donor-recipient site. Additionally, differences in alterations of the immune microenvironment at the recipient site remained to be explored. Osteoblasts (OBs) and macrophages (MØ) play essential roles in the bone restoration and regeneration processes in the bone and immune systems, respectively. The modulation of MØ on OBs has been extensively explored in the literature, whereas limited research has been conducted on the influence of OBs on the MØ phenotype and function. In the present study, OBs from the mandible and femur (MOBs and FOBs, respectively) promoted cranial defect regeneration in rats, with better outcomes noted in the MOBs-treated group. After MOBs transplantation, a significant inflammatory response was induced, accompanied by an early increase in IL-10 secretion. And then, there was an upregulation in M2-MØ-related cell markers and inflammatory factor expression. Condition media (CM) of OBs mildly inhibited apoptosis in MØ, enhanced their migration and phagocytic functions, and concurrently increased iNOS and Arg1 expression, with MOB-CM demonstrating more pronounced effects compared to FOB-CM. In conclusion, our investigation showed that MOBs and FOBs have the ability to modulate MØ phenotype and function, with MOBs exhibiting a stronger regulatory potential. These findings provide a new direction for improving therapeutic strategies for bone regeneration in autologous bone grafts from the perspective of the immune microenvironment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the site-specific characteristics of rat mandible periosteal cells (MPCs) and tibia periosteal cells (TPCs) to assess the potential application of periosteal cells (PCs) in bone tissue engineering (BTE). MATERIALS AND METHODS MPCs and TPCs were isolated and characterized. The potential of proliferation, migration, osteogenesis and adipogenesis of MPCs and TPCs were evaluated by CCK-8, scratch assay, Transwell assay, alkaline phosphatase staining and activity, Alizarin Red S staining, RT‒qPCR, and Western blot (WB) assays, respectively. Then, these cells were cocultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to investigate their angiogenic capacity, which was assessed by scratch assay, Transwell assay, Matrigel tube formation assay, RT‒qPCR, and WB assays. RESULTS MPCs exhibited higher osteogenic potential, higher alkaline phosphatase activity, and more mineralized nodule formation, while TPCs showed a greater capability for proliferation, migration, and adipogenesis. MPCs showed higher expression of angiogenic factors, and the conditioned medium of MPCs accelerated the migration of HUVECs, while MPC- conditioned medium induced the formation of more tubular structure in HUVECs in vitro. These data suggest that compared to TPCs, MPCs exert more consequential proangiogenic effects on HUVECs. CONCLUSIONS PCs possess skeletal site-specific differences in biological characteristics. MPCs exhibit more eminent osteogenic and angiogenic potentials, which highlights the potential application of MPCs for BTE. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Autologous bone grafting as the main modality for maxillofacial bone defect repair has many limitations. Constituting an important cell type in bone repair and regeneration, MPCs show greater potential for application in BTE, which provides a promising treatment option for maxillofacial bone defect repair.

Abstract
The mandible (lower jaw) bone is aesthetically responsible for shaping the lower face, physiologically in charge of the masticatory movements, and phonetically accountable for the articulation of different phonemes. Thus, pathologies that result in great damage to the mandible severely impact the lives of patients. Mandibular reconstruction techniques are mainly based on the use of flaps, most notably free vascularized fibula flaps. However, the mandible is a craniofacial bone with unique characteristics. Its morphogenesis, morphology, physiology, biomechanics, genetic profile, and osteoimmune environment are different from any other non-craniofacial bone. This fact is especially important to consider during mandibular reconstruction, as all these differences result in unique clinical traits of the mandible that can impact the results of jaw reconstructions. Furthermore, overall changes in the mandible and the flap post-reconstruction may be dissimilar, and the replacement process of the bone graft tissue during healing can take years, which in some cases can result in postsurgical complications. Therefore, the present review highlights the uniqueness of the jaw and how this factor can influence the outcome of its reconstruction while using an exemplary clinical case of pseudoarthrosis in a free vascularized fibula flap.

Atf4 regulates angiogenic differences between alveolar bone and long bone macrophages by regulating M1 polarization, based on single-cell RNA sequencing, RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analysis. J Transl Med 2023; 21:193. [PMID: 36918894 PMCID: PMC10012539 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04046-1] [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: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In the repair of maxillofacial bone defects, autogenous craniofacial bone can often provide superior clinical results over long bone grafts. Most current studies have focused on the osteogenic differences between alveolar bone marrow (ABM) and long bone marrow (LBM), however, studies about the angiogenic differences between the two are currently lacking. We downloaded single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of mouse ABM and LBM respectively from the public database, and the data were processed by using Seurat package. CellphoneDB2 results showed that macrophages had the strongest interaction with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and endothelial cells (ECs). ELISA results confirmed that ABM macrophages secreted a higher level of vascular endothelial growth factor A (Vegfa) compared to LBM macrophages, which further promoted angiogenesis of ECs and MSCs. Using SCENIC package, six key transcription factors (TFs) were identified to regulate the difference between ABM and LBM macrophages, and activating transcription factor 4 (Atf4) was confirmed to be more expressed in ABM macrophages by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blot (WB), with predicted target genes including Vegfa. Besides, the result of scRNA-seq implied ABM macrophages more in M1 status than LBM macrophages, which was confirmed by the following experiments. From the results of another assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA-seq about M1 macrophages, Atf4 was also confirmed to regulate the M1 polarization. So, we suspected that Atf4 regulated the different expression of Vegfa between ABM and LBM macrophages by activating M1 polarization. After knocking down Atf4, the expression of M1 polarization markers and Vegfa were downregulated and vasculogenic differences were eliminated, which were subsequently reversed by the addition of LPS/IFN-γ. Our study might provide a new idea to improve the success rate of autologous bone grafting and treatment of oral diseases.

Abstract
Periosteum is expected for bone repairing due to excellent regenerative potential. PDCs are the main source of cells for promoting bone repair. However, PDCs from different sites have been confirmed to be site specific due to their distinct embryonic origin and the methods of bone formation. Hippo-YAP pathway is proved to play a critical role in fate decision of mesenchymal stem cells. The effect of Hippo-YAP on PDCs has not been reported so far. Hence, we aim to explore the differences of PDCs from mandible and femur along with their possible responses to YAP signaling. mPDCs and fPDCs were obtained and tested through flow cytometry for identification. Follow-up results illustrated mPDCs was cubic shape and with better proliferation while fPDCs preferred slender cell shape with worse cell viability compared with mPDCs. mPDCs was superior to fPDCs in ALP activity, related mRNA expression and calcium deposits in late stage. Interestingly, downregulation of YAP promoted the ALP activity, related mRNA expression and calcium deposits of fPDCs while hindered that of mPDCs in vitro. Moreover, implant animal model in mandible and femur were constructed for evaluation in vivo. Histological results were similar to the results in vitro. We speculate this may result from their different embryonic origin and the way of bone formation. Taken together, results available suggested that mPDCs may serve as more optimal seed cells for tissue engineering compared with fPDCs; however, considering their different response to YAP signaling, to ensure sufficient YAP expression in mPDCs and appropriate declining YAP expression in fPDCs may establish better osteogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Destruction of alveolar bone and periodontal ligament due to periodontal disease often requires surgical treatment to reconstruct the biological construction and functions of periodontium. Despite significant advances in dental implants in the past two decades, it remains a major challenge to adapt bone grafts and barrier membrane in surgery due to the complicated anatomy of tooth and defect contours. Herein, we developed a novel biphasic hierarchical architecture with modularized functions and shape based on alveolar bone anatomy to achieve the ideal outcomes. METHODS The integrated hierarchical architecture comprising of nonstoichiometric wollastonite (nCSi) scaffolds and gelatin methacrylate/silanized hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (GelMA/Si-HPMC) hydrogel membrane was fabricated by digital light processing (DLP) and photo-crosslinked hydrogel injection technique respectively. The rheological parameters, mechanical properties and degradation rates of composite hydrogels were investigated. L-929 cells were cultured on the hydrogel samples to evaluate biocompatibility and cell barrier effect. Cell scratch assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, and alizarin red (AR) staining were used to reveal the migration and osteogenic ability of hydrogel membrane based on mouse mandible-derived osteoblasts (MOBs). Subsequently, a critical-size one-wall periodontal defect model in dogs was prepared to evaluate the periodontal tissue reconstruction potential of the biphasic hierarchical architecture. RESULTS The personalized hydrogel membrane integrating tightly with the nCSi scaffolds exhibited favorable cell viability and osteogenic ability in vitro, while the scratch assay showed that osteoblast migration was drastically correlated with Si-HPMC content in the composite hydrogel. The equivalent composite hydrogel has proven good physiochemical properties, and its membrane exhibited potent occlusive effect in vivo; meanwhile, the hierarchical architectures exerted a strong periodontal regeneration capability in the periodontal intrabony defect models of dogs. Histological examination showed effective bone and periodontal ligament regeneration in the biomimetic architecture system; however, soft tissue invasion was observed in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that such modularized hierarchical architectures have excellent potential as a next-generation oral implants, and this precisely tuned guided tissue regeneration route offer an opportunity for improving periodontal damage reconstruction and reducing operation sensitivity.

Abstract
Critical oral-maxillofacial bone defects, damaged by trauma and tumors, not only affect the physiological functions and mental health of patients but are also highly challenging to reconstruct. Personalized biomaterials customized by 3D printing technology have the potential to match oral-maxillofacial bone repair and regeneration requirements. Laponite (LAP) nanosilicates have been added to biomaterials to achieve biofunctional modification owing to their excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. Herein, porous nanosilicate-functionalized polycaprolactone (PCL/LAP) was fabricated by 3D printing technology, and its bioactivities in bone regeneration were investigated in vitro and in vivo. In vitro experiments demonstrated that PCL/LAP exhibited good cytocompatibility and enhanced the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). PCL/LAP functioned to stimulate osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs at the mRNA and protein levels and elevated angiogenic gene expression and cytokine secretion. Moreover, BMSCs cultured on PCL/LAP promoted the angiogenesis potential of endothelial cells by angiogenic cytokine secretion. Then, PCL/LAP scaffolds were implanted into the calvarial defect model. Toxicological safety of PCL/LAP was confirmed, and significant enhancement of vascularized bone formation was observed. Taken together, 3D-printed PCL/LAP scaffolds with brilliant osteogenesis to enhance bone regeneration could be envisaged as an outstanding bone substitute for a promising change in oral-maxillofacial bone defect reconstruction.

Nanosilicate-Functionalized Polycaprolactone Orchestrates Osteogenesis and Osteoblast-Induced Multicellular Interactions for Potential Endogenous Vascularized Bone Regeneration. Macromol Biosci 2021; 22:e2100265. [PMID: 34705332 DOI: 10.1002/mabi.202100265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Massive oral and maxillofacial bone defect regeneration remains a major clinical challenge due to the absence of functionalized bone grafts with ideal mechanical and proregeneration properties. In the present study, Laponite (LAP), a synthetic nanosilicate, is incorporated into polycaprolactone (PCL) to develop a biomaterial for bone regeneration. It is explored whether LAP-embedded PCL would accelerate bone regeneration by orchestrating osteoblasts to directly and indirectly induce bone regeneration processes. The results confirmed the presence of LAP in PCL, and LAP is distributed in the exfoliated structure without aggregates. Incorporation of LAP in PCL slightly improved the compressive properties. LAP-embedded PCL is biocompatible and exerts pronounced enhancements in cell viability, osteogenic differentiation, and extracellular matrix formation of osteoblasts. Furthermore, osteoblasts cultured on LAP-embedded PCL facilitate angiogenesis of vessel endothelial cells and alleviate osteoclastogenesis of osteoclasts in a paracrine manner. The addition of LAP to the PCL endows favorable bone formation in vivo. Based upon these results, LAP-embedded PCL shows great potential as an ideal bone graft that exerts both space-maintaining and vascularized bone regeneration synergistic effects and can be envisioned for oral and maxillofacial bone defect regeneration.

Differential behaviour and gene expression in 3D cultures of femoral- and calvarial-derived human osteoblasts under a cyclic compressive mechanical load. Eur J Oral Sci 2021; 129:e12818. [PMID: 34289176 DOI: 10.1111/eos.12818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the response of calvarial and femoral osteoblasts cultured in a 3D hydrogel environment to cyclic compressive mechanical loading. Human foetal femoral and calvarial osteoblasts were encapsulated in a semi-synthetic thiol-modified hyaluronan gelatin polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) cross-linked HyStemC hydrogel. Constructs were subjected to a cyclic compressive strain of 33.4 kPa force every second for 5 s every hour for 6 h per day using FlexCell BioPress culture plates and compared to non-compressed constructs. Cell viability, mineralisation, and morphological changes were observed over 21 days. BMP2, ALP, COL1A1, COL2A1, and OCN gene expression levels were quantified. Encapsulated osteoblast numbers increased and formed hydroxyapatite over a 21-day period. Cell viability decreased under a cyclical strain when compared to cells under no strain. Femoral osteoblasts under strain expressed increased levels of BMP2 (53.9-fold) and COL1A1 (5.1-fold) mRNA compared to no strain constructs. Surprisingly, no BMP2 mRNA was detected in calvarial osteoblasts. Osteoblasts derived from endochondral (femoral) and intra-membranous (calvarial) processes behaved differently in 3D-constructs. We therefore recommend that site-specific osteoblasts be used for future bone engineering and bone replacement materials and further research undertaken to elucidate how site-specific osteoblasts respond to cyclic compressive loads.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of a permanent prosthesis remains one of the most common reasons for bone implant failure. To improve the fixation between implant and bone tissue as well as enhance blood vessel formation, bioactive agents are incorporated into the surface of the biomaterial. This study reviews and compares five bioactive elements (copper, magnesium, silicon, strontium, and zinc) with respect to their effect on the angiogenic behavior of endothelial cells (ECs) when incorporated on the surface of biomaterials. Moreover, it provides an overview of the state-of-the-art methodologies used for the in vitro assessment of the angiogenic properties of these elements. Two databases are searched using keywords containing ECs and copper, magnesium, silicon, strontium, and zinc. After applying the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 59 articles are retained for the final assessment. An overview of the angiogenic properties of five bioactive elements and the methods used for assessment of their in vitro angiogenic potential is presented. The findings show that silicon and strontium can effectively enhance osseointegration through the simultaneous promotion of both angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Therefore, their integration onto the surface of biomaterials can ultimately decrease the incidence of implant failure due to aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Stem cells play a critical role in bone regeneration. Multiple populations of skeletal stem cells have been identified in long bone, while their identity and functions in alveolar bone remain unclear. Here, we identified a quiescent leptin receptor–expressing (LepR+) cell population that contributed to intramembranous bone formation. Interestingly, these LepR+ cells became activated in response to tooth extraction and generated the majority of the newly formed bone in extraction sockets. In addition, genetic ablation of LepR+ cells attenuated extraction socket healing. The parabiosis experiments revealed that the LepR+ cells in the healing sockets were derived from resident tissue rather than peripheral blood circulation. Further studies on the mechanism suggested that these LepR+ cells were responsive to parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH/PTH1R) signaling. Collectively, we demonstrate that LepR+ cells, a postnatal skeletal stem cell population, are essential for alveolar bone regeneration of extraction sockets.
