[PMID: 36541928 DOI: 10.1002/mabi.202200402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Endothelialization of the aneurysmal neck is essential for aneurysm healing after endovascular treatment. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-seeded stents can promote aneurysm repair. The biological effects of coated and uncoated nitinol intracranial stents seeded with MSCs on vascular cells and macrophage proliferation and inflammation are investigated. Two stent coatings that exert pro-aggregation effects on MSCs via different mechanisms are examined: gelatin/polylysine (G/PLL), which enhances cell adhesion, and silk fibroin/SDF-1α (SF/SDF-1α), which enhances chemotaxis. The aim is to explore the feasibility of MSC-seeded coated stents in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The G/PLL coating provides the highest cytocompatibility and blood compatibility substrate for MSCs and vascular cells and promotes cell adhesion and proliferation. Moreover, it enhances MSC secretion and regulation of vascular cell and macrophage proliferation and chemotaxis. Although the SF/SDF-1α coating promotes MSC secretion and vascular cell chemotaxis, it induces a greater degree of macrophage proliferation, chemotaxis, and secretion of pro-inflammatory factors. MSC-seeded stents coated with G/PLL may benefit stent surface endothelialization and reduce the inflammatory response after endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysm. These effects may improve aneurysm healing and increase the cure rate.

Titanium Functionalized with Polylysine Homopolymers: In Vitro Enhancement of Cells Growth. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14133735. [PMID: 34279306 PMCID: PMC8269806 DOI: 10.3390/ma14133735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2021] [Revised: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
In oral implantology, the success and persistence of dental implants over time are guaranteed by the bone formation around the implant fixture and by the integrity of the peri-implant mucosa seal, which adheres to the abutment and becomes a barrier that hinders bacterial penetration and colonization close to the outer parts of the implant. Research is constantly engaged in looking for substances to coat the titanium surface that guarantees the formation and persistence of the peri-implant bone, as well as the integrity of the mucous perimeter surrounding the implant crown. The present study aimed to evaluate in vitro the effects of a titanium surface coated with polylysine homopolymers on the cell growth of dental pulp stem cells and keratinocytes to establish the potential clinical application. The results reported an increase in cell growth for both cellular types cultured with polylysine-coated titanium compared to cultures without titanium and those without coating. These preliminary data suggest the usefulness of polylysine coating not only for enhancing osteoinduction but also to speed the post-surgery mucosal healings, guarantee appropriate peri-implant epithelial seals, and protect the fixture against bacterial penetration, which is responsible for compromising the implant survival.

Abstract
Recently, Vitamin D (Vit. D) has gained importance in cellular functions of a wide range of extraskeletal organs and target tissues, other than bone. In particular, Vit. D has displayed important beneficial effects in the cardiovascular system. Although little is known about the mechanism by which this response is exerted, a Vit. D-induced eNOS-dependent nitric oxide (NO) production in endothelial cells (EC) has been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Vit. D administration could affect human EC proliferation and/or migration through NO production. For this purpose, HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) were used to evaluate Vit. D effects on cell proliferation and migration in a 3D matrix. Experiments were also performed in the presence of the specific VDR ligand ZK159222 and eNOS inhibitor L-NAME. This study demonstrated that Vit. D can promote both HUVEC proliferation and migration in a 3D matrix. These effects were NO dependent, since HUVEC proliferation and migration were abrogated along with Vit. D induced MMP-2 expression by inhibiting eNOS activity by L-NAME. These findings support the role of Vit. D in the angiogenic process, suggesting new applications for Vit. D in tissue repair and wound healing.

Abstract
Proteins such as collagen and elastin are robust molecules that constitute nanocomponents in the hierarchically organized ultrastructures of bone and tendon as well as in some of the soft tissues that have load-bearing functions. In the present paper, the macromolecular structure and function of the proteins are reviewed and the potential of mammalian and non-mammalian proteins in the engineering of load-bearing tissue substitutes are discussed. Chimeric proteins have become an important structural biomaterial source and their potential in tissue engineering is highlighted. Processing of proteins challenge investigators and in this review rapid prototyping and microfabrication are proposed as methods for obtaining precisely defined custom-built tissue engineered structures with intrinsic microarchitecture.

Abstract
Tissue transglutaminase (transglutaminase 2) is a multifunctional enzyme with many interesting properties resulting in versatile roles in both physiology and pathophysiology. Herein, the particular involvement of the enzyme in human diseases will be outlined with special emphasis on its role in cancer and in tissue interactions with biomaterials. Despite recent progress in unraveling the different cellular functions of transglutaminase 2, several questions remain. Transglutaminase 2 features in both confirmed and some still ambiguous roles within pathological conditions, raising interest in developing inhibitors and imaging probes which target this enzyme. One important prerequisite for identifying and characterizing such molecular tools are reliable assay methods to measure the enzymatic activity. This digest Letter will provide clarification about the various assay methods described to date, accompanied by a discussion of recent progress in the development of inhibitors and imaging probes targeting transglutaminase 2.

Abstract
In the field of regenerative medicine we aim to develop implant matrices for specific tissue needs. By combining two per se, cell-permissive gel systems with enzymatic crosslinkers (gelatin/transglutaminase and fibrinogen/thrombin) to generate a blend (technical term: quattroGel), an unexpected cell-selectivity evolved. QuattroGels were porous and formed cavities in the cell diameter range, possessed gelation kinetics in the minute range, viscoelastic properties and a mechanical strength appropriate for general cell adhesion, and restricted diffusion. Cell proliferation of endothelial cells, chondrocytes and fibroblasts was essentially unaffected. In contrast, on quattroGels neither endothelial cells formed vascular tubes nor did primary neurons extend neurites in significant amounts. Only chondrocytes differentiated properly as judged by collagen isoform expression. The biophysical quattroGel characteristics appeared to leave distinct cell processes such as mitosis unaffected and favored differentiation of sessile cells, but hampered differentiation of migratory cells. This cell-type selectivity is of interest e.g. during articular cartilage or invertebral disc repair, where pathological innervation and angiogenesis represent adverse events in tissue engineering.
