Bioceramic-mediated chondrocyte hypertrophy promotes calcified cartilage formation for rabbit osteochondral defect repair. Bioact Mater 2024; 40:306-317. [PMID: 38978806 PMCID: PMC11228467 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.06.018] [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: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteochondral tissue is a highly specialized and complex tissue composed of articular cartilage and subchondral bone that are separated by a calcified cartilage interface. Multilayered or gradient scaffolds, often in conjunction with stem cells and growth factors, have been developed to mimic the respective layers for osteochondral defect repair. In this study, we designed a hyaline cartilage-hypertrophic cartilage bilayer graft (RGD/RGDW) with chondrocytes. Previously, we demonstrated that RGD peptide-modified chondroitin sulfate cryogel (RGD group) is chondro-conductive and capable of hyaline cartilage formation. Here, we incorporated whitlockite (WH), a Mg2+-containing calcium phosphate, into RGD cryogel (RGDW group) to induce chondrocyte hypertrophy and form collagen X-rich hypertrophic cartilage. This is the first study to use WH to produce hypertrophic cartilage. Chondrocytes-laden RGDW cryogel exhibited significantly upregulated expression of hypertrophy markers in vitro and formed ectopic hypertrophic cartilage in vivo, which mineralized into calcified cartilage in bone microenvironment. Subsequently, RGD cryogel and RGDW cryogel were combined into bilayer (RGD/RGDW group) and implanted into rabbit osteochondral defect, where RGD layer supports hyaline cartilage regeneration and bioceramic-containing RGDW layer promotes calcified cartilage formation. While the RGD group (monolayer) formed hyaline-like neotissue that extends into the subchondral bone, the RGD/RGDW group (bilayer) regenerated hyaline cartilage tissue confined to its respective layer and promoted osseointegration for integrative defect repair.

Abstract
Mg is a typical biodegradable metal widely used for biomedical applications due to its considerable mechanical properties and bioactivity. Biodegradable polymers have attracted great interest owing to their favorable processability and inclusiveness. However, it is challenging for the degradation rates of Mg or polymers to precisely match tissue repair processes, and the significant changes in local pH during degradation hinder tissue repair. The concept of combining Mg with polymers is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of materials, aiming to meet repair needs from various aspects such as mechanics and biology. Therefore, it is essential to systematically understand the behavior of biodegradable Mg/polymer composite (BMPC) from the design, manufacturing, mechanical properties, degradation, and biological effects. In this review, we elaborate on the design concepts and manufacturing strategies of high-strength BMPC, the "structure-function" relationship between the microstructures and mechanical properties of composites, the variation in the degradation rate due to endogenous and exogenous factors, and the establishment of advanced degradation research platform. Additionally, the interplay among composite components during degradation and the biological function of composites under non-responsive/stimuli-responsive platforms are also discussed. Finally, we hope that this review will benefit future clinical applications of "structure-function" integrated biomaterials.

Abstract
Over the decades, the management of osteochondral lesions remains a significant yet unmet medical challenge without curative solutions to date. Owing to the complex nature of osteochondral units with multi-tissues and multicellularity, and inherently divergent cellular turnover capacities, current clinical practices often fall short of robust and satisfactory repair efficacy. Alternative strategies, particularly tissue engineering assisted with biomaterial scaffolds, achieve considerable advances, with the emerging pursuit of a more cost-effective approach of in situ osteochondral regeneration, as evolving toward cell-free modalities. By leveraging endogenous cell sources and innate regenerative potential facilitated with instructive scaffolds, promising results are anticipated and being evidenced. Accordingly, a paradigm shift is occurring in scaffold development, from biodegradable and biocompatible to bioadaptable in spatiotemporal control. Hence, this review summarizes the ongoing progress in deploying bioadaptable criteria for scaffold-based engineering in endogenous osteochondral repair, with emphases on precise control over the scaffolding material, degradation, structure and biomechanics, and surface and biointerfacial characteristics, alongside their distinguished impact on the outcomes. Future outlooks of a highlight on advanced, frontier materials, technologies, and tools tailoring precision medicine and smart healthcare are provided, which potentially paves the path toward the ultimate goal of complete osteochondral regeneration with function restoration.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death. This is attributed to the dramatic changes in the myocardial microenvironment post-MI. Therefore, effective intervention in the early stages of MI is significant for inhibiting its progression and improving cardiac function. Herein, an injectable composite hydrogel scaffold (Gel-pBP@Mg) was developed by integrating magnesium (Mg)-modified black phosphorus nanosheets (pBP@Mg) into a reactive oxygen species-responsive hydrogel (Gel). This loose and porous Gel provides a natural platform for carrying pBP@Mg. In situ, sustained release of pBP@Mg is achieved via responsive ROS degradation in the infarct site. The high ROS reactivity of Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) can effectively inhibit the progression of oxidative stress in the infarct area and reduce inflammatory response by down-regulating the NF-κB pathway. Additionally, the sustained release of Mg loaded on the surface of BPNSs can effectively promote angiogenesis in MI, which is significant for the long-term prognosis after infarction. Our developed Gel-pBP@Mg effectively blocked infarction progression and improved myocardial function by sustainably inhibiting the "oxidative stress-inflammation" reaction chain and pro-angiogenesis. This study reveals Gel-pBP@Mg composite therapeutic potential in treating MI through In vitro and In vivo studies, providing a promising modality for MI treatment.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering is the main method for repairing large segment bone defects. In this study, a layer of bioactive MgO nanoparticles was wrapped on the surface of spherical Zn powders, which allowed the MgO nanoparticles to be incorporated into 3D-printed Zn matrix and improved the biodegradation and biocompatibility of the Zn matrix. The results showed that porous pure Zn scaffolds and Zn/MgO scaffolds with skeletal-gyroid (G) model structure were successfully prepared by selective laser melting (SLM). The average porosity of two porous scaffolds was 59.3 and 60.0%, respectively. The pores were uniformly distributed with an average pore size of 558.6-569.3 μm. MgO nanoparticles regulated the corrosion rate of scaffolds, resulting in a more uniform corrosion degradation behavior of the Zn/MgO scaffolds in simulated body fluid solution. The degradation ratio of Zn/MgO composite scaffolds in vivo was increased compared to pure Zn scaffolds, reaching 15.6% at 12 weeks. The yield strength (10.8 ± 2.4 MPa) of the Zn/MgO composite scaffold was comparable to that of cancellous bone, and the antimicrobial rate were higher than 99%. The Zn/MgO composite scaffolds could better guide bone tissue regeneration in rat cranial bone repair experiments (completely filling the scaffolds at 12 weeks). Therefore, porous Zn/MgO scaffolds with G-model structure prepared with SLM are a promising biodegradable bone tissue engineering scaffold.

Abstract
Magnesium-based biomaterials hold remarkable promise for various clinical applications, offering advantages such as reduced stress-shielding and enhanced bone strengthening and vascular remodeling compared to traditional materials. However, ensuring the quality of preclinical research is crucial for the development of these implants. To achieve implant success, an understanding of the cellular responses post-implantation, proper model selection, and good study design are crucial. There are several challenges to reaching a safe and effective translation of laboratory findings into clinical practice. The utilization of Mg-based biomedical devices eliminates the need for biomaterial removal surgery post-healing and mitigates adverse effects associated with permanent biomaterial implantation. However, the high corrosion rate of Mg-based implants poses challenges such as unexpected degradation, structural failure, hydrogen evolution, alkalization, and cytotoxicity. The biocompatibility and degradability of materials based on magnesium have been studied by many researchers in vitro; however, evaluations addressing the impact of the material in vivo still need to be improved. Several animal models, including rats, rabbits, dogs, and pigs, have been explored to assess the potential of magnesium-based materials. Moreover, strategies such as alloying and coating have been identified to enhance the degradation rate of magnesium-based materials in vivo to transform these challenges into opportunities. This review aims to explore the utilization of Mg implants across various biomedical applications within cellular (in vitro) and animal (in vivo) models.

Abstract
Although calcium‑magnesium phosphate cements (CMPCs) have been widely applied to treating critical-size bone defects, their repair efficiency is unsatisfactory owing to their weak surface bioactivity and uncontrolled ion release. In this study, we lyophilized alginate sodium (AS) as a coating onto HAp/K-struvite (H@KSv) to develop AS/HAp/K-struvite (AH@KSv), which promotes bone regeneration. The compressive strength and hydrophilicity of AH@KSv significantly improved, leading to enhanced cell adhesion in vitro. Importantly, the SA coating enables continuous ions release of Mg2+ and Ca2+, finally leading to enhanced osteogenesis in vitro/vivo and different patterns of new bone ingrowth in vivo. Furthermore, these composites increased the expression levels of biomarkers of the TRPM7/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway via an equilibrium effect of Mg2+ to Ca2+. In conclusion, our study provides novel insights into the mechanisms of Mg-based biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering holds great promise for the regeneration of damaged or severe bone defects. However, several challenges hinder its translation into clinical practice. To address these challenges, interdisciplinary efforts and advances in biomaterials, cell biology, and bioengineering are required. In recent years, nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA)-based scaffolds have emerged as a promising approach for the development of bone regenerative agents. The unique similarity of nHA with minerals found in natural bones promotes remineralization and stimulates bone growth, which are crucial factors for efficient bone regeneration. Moreover, nHA exhibits desirable properties, such as strong chemical interactions with bone and facilitation of tissue growth, without inducing inflammation or toxicity. It also promotes osteoblast survival, adhesion, and proliferation, as well as increasing alkaline phosphatase activity, osteogenic differentiation, and bone-specific gene expression. However, it is important to note that the effect of nHA on osteoblast behavior is dose-dependent, with cytotoxic effects observed at higher doses. Additionally, the particle size of nHA plays a crucial role, with smaller particles having a more significant impact. Therefore, in this review, we highlighted the potential of nHA for improving bone regeneration processes and summarized the available data on bone cell response to nHA-based scaffolds. In addition, an attempt is made to portray the current status of bone tissue engineering using nHA/polymer hybrids and some recent scientific research in the field.

Abstract
After spinal cord injury (SCI), secondary injuries including blood cells infiltration followed by the production of inflammatory mediators are led by blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) breakdown. Therefore, preventing BSCB damage could alleviate the secondary injury progresses after SCI. Recently, we reported that transient receptor potential melastatin 7 channel (TRPM7) expression is increased in vascular endothelial cells after injury and thereby mediates BSCB disruption. However, the mechanism by which TRPM7 regulates BSCB disruption has not been examined yet. In current research, we show that TRPM7 mediates BSCB disruption via mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway after SCI in rats. After contusion injury at T9 level of spinal cord, mTOR pathway was activated in the endothelial cells of blood vessels and TRPM7 was involved in the activation of mTOR pathway. BSCB disruption, MMP-2/9 activation, and blood cell infiltration after injury were alleviated by rapamycin, a mTOR signaling inhibitor. Rapamycin also conserved the level of tight junction proteins, which were decreased after SCI. Furthermore, mTOR pathway regulated the expression and activation of histone H3K27 demethylase JMJD3, known as a key epigenetic regulator mediating BSCB damage after SCI. In addition, rapamycin inhibited JMJD3 expression, the loss of tight junction molecules, and MMP-2/9 expression in bEnd.3, a brain endothelial cell line, after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation. Thus, our results suggest that TRPM7 contributes to the BSCB disruption by regulating JMJD3 expression through the mTOR pathway after SCI.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a vital clinical challenge in massive or complicated bone defects. Recently, bone tissue engineering has come to the fore to meet the demand for bone repair with various innovative materials. However, the reported materials usually cannot satisfy the requirements, such as ideal mechanical and osteogenic properties, as well as biocompatibility at the same time. Mg-based biomaterials have considerable potential in bone tissue engineering owing to their excellent mechanical strength and biosafety. Moreover, the biocompatibility and osteogenic activity of Mg-based biomaterials have been the research focuses in recent years. The main limitation faced in the applications of Mg-based biomaterials is rapid degradation, which can produce excessive Mg2+ and hydrogen, affecting the healing of the bone defect. In order to overcome the limitations, researchers have explored several ways to improve the properties of Mg-based biomaterials, including alloying, surface modification with coatings, and synthesizing other composite materials to control the degradation rate upon implantation. This article reviewed the osteogenic mechanism and requirement for appropriate degradation rate and focused on current progress in the biomedical use of Mg-based biomaterials to inspire more clinical applications of Mg in bone regeneration in the future.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate whether the use of absorble AZ31B magnesium alloys over distraction gaps improves the quality and quantity of regenerated bone better than the use of Collagen membranes. Methods Fifteen mixed-breed dogs were randomly divided into the experimental (n = 10) and control (n = 5) groups. In the experimental group, two devices were implanted along the mandible; one side with absorble AZ31B and the other side with Collagen. The control animals did not undergo osteotomy or distraction. After a consolidation time of two months, 30 specimens were harvested, and newly created bone was identified using CBCT and micro-CT. Results The Collagen membranes were absorbed completely, and the AZ31B membranes became irregular and rough. Mandible length was successfully extended approximately 1 cm. More bone formation was found after using AZ31B than Collagen, and there was a significant difference in width reduction between experimental sites treated with AZ31B (0.11 ± 0.04 cm) and Collagen (0.42 ± 0.06 cm) (p < 0.05). Trabecular thickness was also significantly higher in AZ31B (0.338 ± 0.08 cm) and control (0.417 ± 0.05 cm) than Collagen (0.178 ± 0.04 cm) (p < 0.05). Conclusion An AZ31B membrane barrier is biocompatible and absorbable which can maintain the distraction gap and provide support to the attached osteoprogenitors by providing space for them to proliferate.

Abstract
Altered abundance or activity of the dual-function transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 (TRPM7) protein is implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Toxic aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) in neurons is implicated in AD pathology. Here, we found that the kinase activity of TRPM7 is important to stimulate the degradation of Aβ. TRPM7 expression was decreased in hippocampal tissue samples from patients with AD and two mouse models of AD (APP/PS1 and 5XFAD). In cultures of hippocampal neurons from mice, overexpression of full-length TRPM7 or of its functional kinase domain M7CK prevented synapse loss induced by exogenous Aβ. In contrast, this neuroprotection was not afforded by overexpression of either the functional ion channel portion alone or a TRPM7 mutant lacking kinase activity. M7CK overexpression in the hippocampus of young and old 5XFAD mice prevented and reversed, respectively, memory deficits, synapse loss, and Aβ plaque accumulation. In both neurons and mice, M7CK interacted with and activated the metalloprotease MMP14 to promote Aβ degradation. Thus, TRPM7 loss in patients with AD may contribute to the associated Aβ pathology.

Abstract
Bone is a highly vascularized tissue, and the ability of magnesium (Mg) to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis has been widely studied. The aim of bone tissue engineering is to repair bone tissue defects and restore its normal function. Various Mg-enriched materials that can promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis have been made. Here, we introduce several types of orthopedic clinical uses of Mg; recent advances in the study of metal materials releasing Mg ions (pure Mg, Mg alloy, coated Mg, Mg-rich composite, ceramic, and hydrogel) are reviewed. Most studies suggest that Mg can enhance vascularized osteogenesis in bone defect areas. Additionally, we summarized some research on the mechanisms related to vascularized osteogenesis. In addition, the experimental strategies for the research of Mg-enriched materials in the future are put forward, in which clarifying the specific mechanism of promoting angiogenesis is the crux.

Abstract
Bone defects are often caused by trauma or surgery and can lead to delayed healing or even bone nonunion, thereby resulting in impaired function of the damaged site. Magnesium ions and related metallic materials play a crucial role in repairing bone defects, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we induced the angiogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) with different concentrations of magnesium ions. The mechanism was investigated using γ-secretase inhibitor (DAPT) at different time points (7 and 14 days). Angiogenesis, differentiation, migration, and chemotaxis were detected using the tube formation assay, wound-healing assay, and Transwell assay. Besides, we analyzed mRNA expression and the angiogenesis-related protein levels of genes by RT-qPCR and western blot. We discovered that compared with other concentrations, the 5 mM magnesium ion concentration was more conducive to forming tubes. Additionally, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (Hif-1α) and endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) expression both increased (p < 0.05). After 7 and 14 days of induction, 5 mM magnesium ion group tube formation, migration, and chemotaxis were enhanced, and the expression of Notch pathway genes increased. Moreover, expression of the Notch target genes hairy and enhancer of split 1 (Hes1) and Hes5 (hairy and enhancer of split 5), as well as the angiogenesis-related genes Hif-1α and eNOS, were enhanced (p < 0.05). However, these trends did not occur when DAPT was applied. This indicates that 5 mM magnesium ion is the optimal concentration for promoting the angiogenesis and differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. By activating the Notch signaling pathway, magnesium ions up-regulate the downstream genes Hes1 and Hes5 and the angiogenesis-related genes Hif-1α and eNOS, thereby promoting the angiogenesis differentiation of BMSCs. Additionally, magnesium ion-induced differentiation enhances the migration and chemotaxis of BMSCs. Thus, we can conclude that magnesium ions and related metallic materials promote angiogenesis to repair bone defects. This provides the rationale for developing artificial magnesium-containing bone materials through tissue engineering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are an important source of seed cells for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering therapy. BMSCs have multiple differentiation potentials and can release paracrine factors to facilitate tissue repair. Although the role of the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs has been fully confirmed, the function and mechanism of BMSC paracrine factors in bone repair are still largely unclear. This study aimed to determine the roles of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) produced by BMSCs in bone tissue repair. METHODS To confirm our hypothesis, we used a Transwell system to coculture hBMSCs and human osteoblast-like cells without contact, which could not only avoid the interference of the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs but also establish the cell-cell relationship between hBMSCs and human osteoblast-like cells and provide stable paracrine substances. In the transwell coculture system, alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralized nodule formation, cell migration and chemotaxis analysis assays were conducted. RESULTS Osteogenesis, migration and chemotaxis of osteoblast-like cells were regulated by BMSCs in a paracrine manner via the upregulation of osteogenic and migration-associated genes. A TGF-β receptor I inhibitor (LY3200882) significantly antagonized BMSC-induced biological activity and related gene expression in osteoblast-like cells. Interestingly, coculture with osteoblast-like cells significantly increased the production of TGF-β1 by BMSCs, and there was potential intercellular communication between BMSCs and osteoblast-like cells. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide evidence that the biological mechanism of BMSC-produced TGF-β1 promotes bone regeneration and repair, providing a theoretical basis and new directions for the application of BMSC transplantation in the treatment of osteonecrosis and bone injury.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a devastating and complicated disease with an unclear etiology. Femoral head-preserving surgeries have been devoted to delaying and hindering the collapse of the femoral head since their introduction in the last century. However, the isolated femoral head-preserving surgeries cannot prevent the natural progression of ONFH, and the combination of autogenous or allogeneic bone grafting often leads to many undesired complications. To tackle this dilemma, bone tissue engineering has been widely developed to compensate for the deficiencies of these surgeries. During the last decades, great progress has been made in ingenious bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment. Herein, we comprehensively summarize the state-of-the-art progress made in bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment. The definition, classification, etiology, diagnosis, and current treatments of ONFH are first described. Then, the recent progress in the development of various bone-repairing biomaterials, including bioceramics, natural polymers, synthetic polymers, and metals, for treating ONFH is presented. Thereafter, regenerative therapies for ONFH treatment are also discussed. Finally, we give some personal insights on the current challenges of these therapeutic strategies in the clinic and the future development of bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment.

Abstract
Regeneration of bone defects is a significant challenge today. As alternative approaches to the autologous bone, scaffold materials have remarkable features in treating bone defects; however, the various properties of current scaffold materials still fall short of expectations. Due to the osteogenic capability of alkaline earth metals, their application in scaffold materials has become an effective approach to improving their properties. Furthermore, numerous studies have shown that combining alkaline earth metals leads to better osteogenic properties than applying them alone. In this review, the physicochemical and physiological characteristics of alkaline earth metals are introduced, mainly focusing on their mechanisms and applications in osteogenesis, especially magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba). Furthermore, this review highlights the possible cross-talk between pathways when alkaline earth metals are combined. Finally, some of the current drawbacks of scaffold materials are enumerated, such as the high corrosion rate of Mg scaffolds and defects in the mechanical properties of Ca scaffolds. Moreover, a brief perspective is also provided regarding future directions in this field. It is worth exploring that whether the levels of alkaline earth metals in newly regenerated bone differs from those in normal bone. The ideal ratio of each element in the bone tissue engineering scaffolds or the optimal concentration of each elemental ion in the created osteogenic environment still needs further exploration. The review not only summarizes the research developments in osteogenesis but also offers a direction for developing new scaffold materials.

Abstract
Background Use of degradable magnesium (Mg)-based metal implants in orthopaedic surgeries can avoid drawbacks associated with subsequent removal of the non-degradable metallic implants, reducing cost and trauma of patients. Although Mg has been applied in the clinic for orthopaedic treatment, the use of Mg-based metal implants is largely in the research phase. But its application is potentially beneficial in this context as it has been shown that Mg can promote osteogenesis and inhibit osteoclast activity. Methods A systematic literature search about “degradable magnesium (Mg)-based metal implants” was performed in PubMed and Web of Science. Meanwhile, relevant findings have been reviewed and quoted. Results In this review, we summarize the latest developments in Mg-based metal implants and their role in bone regeneration. We also review the various molecular mechanisms by which Mg ions regulate bone metabolic processes, including osteogenesis, osteoclast activity, angiogenesis, immunity, and neurology. Finally, we discuss the remaining research challenges and opportunities for Mg-based implants and their applications. Conclusion Currently, establishment of the in vitro and in vivo biological evaluation systems and phenotypic modification improvement of Mg-based implants are still needed. Clarifying the functions of Mg-based metal implants in promoting bone metabolism is beneficial for their clinical application. The Translational potential of this article All current reviews on Mg-based implants are mainly concerned with the improvement of Mg alloy properties or the progress of applications. However, there are few reviews that provides a systematic narrative on the effect of Mg on bone metabolism. This review summarized the latest developments in Mg-based metal implants and various molecular mechanisms of Mg ions regulating bone metabolism, which is beneficial to further promote the translation of Mg based implants in the clinic and is able to provide a strong basis for the clinical application of Mg based implants.

The osteogenetic activities of mesenchymal stem cells in response to Mg2+ ions and inflammatory cytokines: a numerical approach using fuzzy logic controllers. PLoS Comput Biol 2022; 18:e1010482. [PMID: 36108031 PMCID: PMC9514629 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Magnesium (Mg2+) ions are frequently reported to regulate osteogenic activities of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we propose a numerical model to study the regulatory importance of Mg2+ ions on MSCs osteoblastic differentiation in the presence of an inflammatory response. A fuzzy logic controller was formulated to receive the concentrations of Mg2+ ions and the inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α, IL-10, IL-1β, and IL-8 as cellular inputs and predict the cells’ early and late differentiation rates. Five sets of empirical data obtained from published cell culture experiments were used to calibrate the model. The model successfully reproduced the empirical data regarding the concentration- and phase-dependent effect of Mg2+ ions on the differentiation process. In agreement with the experiments, the model showed the stimulatory role of Mg2+ ions on the early differentiation phase, once administered at low concentration, and their inhibitory role on the late differentiation phase. The numerical approach used in this study suggested 6–8 mM as the most effective concentration of Mg2+ ions in promoting the early differentiation process. Also, the proposed model sheds light on the fundamental differences in the behavioral properties of cells cultured in different experiments, e.g. differentiation rate and the sensitivity of the cultured cells to stimulatory signals such as Mg2+ ions. Thus, it can be used to interpret and compare different empirical findings. Moreover, the model successfully reproduced the nonlinearities in the concentration-dependent role of the inflammatory cytokines in early and late differentiation rates. Overall, the proposed model can be employed in studying the osteogenic properties of Mg-based implants in the presence of an inflammatory response. Magnesium (Mg) is an attractive material for bone implants as it fully degrades after implantation, saving pain and cost of the second surgery for implant removal. To advance its application in the orthopedic industry, it is paramount to fully understand the biological impact of the degradation products, in particular Mg2+ ions. Here, we propose a computer model to study the effects of Mg2+ ions on bone regeneration. The model focuses on stem cells and includes both the direct stimulation effects of Mg2+ ions on cells and the indirect stimulus through the inflammatory system. The proposed model successfully reproduced the experimental data of five different studies. The model additionally highlighted differences amongst different experiments in terms of the cellular response to Mg2+ ions. The proposed system therefore provides an important addition to the field of Mg implant research.

Abstract
Magnesium cation (Mg2+) has been an emerging therapeutic agent for inducing vascularized bone regeneration. However, the therapeutic effects of current magnesium (Mg) -containing biomaterials are controversial due to the concentration- and stage-dependent behavior of Mg2+. Here, we first provide an overview of biochemical mechanism of Mg2+ in various concentrations and suggest that 2-10 mM Mg2+in vitro may be optimized. This review systematically summarizes and discusses several types of controlled Mg2+ delivery systems based on polymer-Mg composite scaffolds and Mg-containing hydrogels, as well as their design philosophy and several parameters that regulate Mg2+ release. Given that the continuous supply of Mg2+ may prevent biomineral deposition in the later stage of bone regeneration and maturation, we highlight the controlled delivery of Mg2+ based dual- or multi-ions system, especially for the hierarchical therapeutic ion release system, which shows enhanced biomineralization. Finally, the remaining challenges and perspectives of Mg-containing biomaterials for future in situ bone tissue engineering are discussed as well.

Controlled and Sequential Delivery of Stromal Derived Factor-1 α (SDF-1α) and Magnesium Ions from Bifunctional Hydrogel for Bone Regeneration. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14142872. [PMID: 35890649 PMCID: PMC9315491 DOI: 10.3390/polym14142872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone healing is a complex process that requires the participation of cells and bioactive factors. Stromal derived factor-1 α (SDF-1α) and magnesium ions (Mg2+) both are significant bioactive factors for cell recruitment and osteogenesis during bone regeneration. Thus, a bifunctional hydrogel containing a sequential delivery system is fabricated to improve osteogenesis. During sequential delivery of the hydrogel, SDF-1α is predominantly released at the early stage of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) recruitment, while Mg2+ are constantly delivered at a later stage to improve osteogenic differentiation of recruited cells. In addition, due to the early release of SDF-1α, the hydrogel showed strong BMSCs recruitment and proliferation activity. Mg2+ can not only induce up-regulation of osteogenic gene expression in vitro, but also promote bone tissue and angiogenesis in vivo. Taken together, the injection of xanthan gum-polydopamine crosslinked hydrogel co-loading SDF-1α and Mg2+ (XPMS hydrogel) provides a novel strategy to repair bone defects.

BIOENGINEERING (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 9:bioengineering9060255.

Abstract
This work intended to elucidate, in an in vitro approach, the cellular and molecular mechanisms occurring during the bone healing process, upon implantation of a tailored degradable multifunctional Mg-based alloy. This was prepared by a conjoining anodization of the bare alloy (AZ31) followed by the deposition of a polymeric coating functionalized with hydroxyapatite. Human endothelial cells and osteoblastic and osteoclastic differentiating cells were exposed to the extracts from the multifunctional platform (having a low degradation rate), as well as the underlying anodized and original AZ31 alloy (with higher degradation rates). Extracts from the multifunctional coated alloy did not affect cellular behavior, although a small inductive effect was observed in the proliferation and gene expression of endothelial and osteoblastic cells. Extracts from the higher degradable anodized and original alloys induced the expression of some endothelial genes and, also, ALP and TRAP activities, further increasing the expression of some early differentiation osteoblastic and osteoclastic genes. The integration of these results in a translational approach suggests that, following the implantation of a tailored degradable Mg-based material, the absence of initial deleterious effects would favor the early stages of bone repair and, subsequently, the on-going degradation of the coating and the subjacent alloy would increase bone metabolism dynamics favoring a faster bone formation and remodeling process and enhancing bone healing.

Abstract
Despite magnesium based metal materials are widely used in bone defect repair, there are still various deficiencies, and their properties need to be optimized. Composites synthesized with magnesium based metal as matrix are the research hotspot, and the host immune response after biomaterial implantation is very important for bone binding. By studying the immunoregulation of bone biomaterials, it can regulate the immune response in the process of osteogenesis and create a good local immune microenvironment, which is conducive to biomaterials to reduce inflammatory response and promote good bone binding. This article introduces the osteogenic mechanism of magnesium based metal materials and its regulation on bone immune microenvironment in detail.

Abstract
In the last several decades, a large family of ion channels have been identified and studied intensively as cellular sensors for diverse physical and/or chemical stimuli. Named transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, they play critical roles in various aspects of cellular physiology. A large number of human hereditary diseases are found to be linked to TRP channel mutations, and their dysregulations lead to acute or chronical health problems. As TRP channels are named and categorized mostly based on sequence homology rather than functional similarities, they exhibit substantial functional diversity. Rapid advances in TRP channel study have been made in recent years and reported in a vast body of literature; a summary of the latest advancements becomes necessary. This chapter offers an overview of current understandings of TRP channel distribution and subunit assembly.

Abstract
Compared with traditional internal fixation devices, bone adhesives are expected to exhibit remarkable advantages, such as improved fixation of comminuted fractures and maintained spatial location of fractured scattered bone pieces in treating bone injuries. In this review, different bone adhesives are summarized from the aspects of bone tissue engineering, and the applications of bone adhesives are emphasized. The concepts of "liquid scaffold" and "liquid plate" are proposed to summarize two different research directions of bone adhesives. Furthermore, significant advances of bone adhesives in recent years in mechanical strength, osseointegration, osteoconductivity, and osteoinductivity are discussed. We conclude this topic by providing perspectives on the state-of-the-art research progress and future development trends of bone adhesives. We hope this review will provide a comprehensive summary of bone adhesives and inspire more extensive and in-depth research on this subject.

The effects of a 3D-printed magnesium-/strontium-doped calcium silicate scaffold on regulation of bone regeneration via dual-stimulation of the AKT and WNT signaling pathways. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2022; 133:112660. [PMID: 35034814 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2022.112660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated that calcium silicate (CS) can be doped with various trace metal elements such as strontium (Sr) or magnesium (Mg). These studies have confirmed that such modifications promote bone regeneration. However, the development and emergence of 3D printing have further made it possible to fabricate bone grafts with precise structural designs using multi-bioceramics so as to better suit specific clinical requirements. We fabricated scaffolds using Mg-doped CS as the outer layer with Sr-doped CS in the center. In addition, PCL was used to improve printability of the scaffolds. This enhanced Mg and Sr architecture prevented premature degradation of the scaffolds during immersion while enabling the release of ions in a sustained manner in order to achieve the desired therapeutic goals. Even the capabilities of stem cells were shown to be enhanced when cultured on these scaffolds. Furthermore, the hybrid scaffolds were found to up-regulate the expression of bone-related proteins such as factors leading to differentiation-inducing pathways, including PI3K/Akt, Wnt, and TRPM7. The in vivo performance of the proposed scaffolds was assessed using micro-CT. The histological results revealed that the hybrid scaffolds were able to further enhance bone regeneration as compared to uni-bioceramics. By combining 3D printing, multi-ceramics, and trace metal elements, a novel hybrid scaffold could be fabricated with ease and specifically suited to future bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Bioglass/chitosan-alginate (BCA) composite scaffolds with remarkable performance for bone tissue engineering are successfully prepared by freeze-drying method. The influence of the addition amount of sodium alginate (SA) on the microstructure, porosity, pore size, swelling ratio, degradation ratio, mechanical properties and mineralization ability of BCA composite scaffolds is studied and characterized by various techniques of the scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared absorption spectrometer and so on. The results show that the BCA composite scaffolds have the three-dimensional interconnected network structure with the high porosity of 82%-87% and a suitable average pore size of 140-200 μm. With the increase of SA addition, the porosity and pore size of BCA gradually reduced and the thickness of pore wall increased. The swelling and degradation ratios decreased gradually with the raising SA and increased with the prolongation of soaking time in PBS. The mechanical strength of BCA was also significantly enhanced, and the mineralization ability of bioglass was effectively deployed with the adding SA of BCA. The improved performance of BCA may be attributed to the formed 3D network structure, activated bioavailability and crosslinking ability between chitosan and SA. It indicates that BCA composite scaffolds have potential applications in bone issues engineering.

Abstract
TRPM7 is a non-selective divalent cation channel with an alpha-kinase domain. Corresponding with its broad expression, TRPM7 has a role in a wide range of cell functions, including proliferation, migration, and survival. Growing evidence shows that TRPM7 is also aberrantly expressed in various cancers, including brain cancers. Because ion channels have widespread tissue distribution and result in extensive physiological consequences when dysfunctional, these proteins can be compelling drug targets. In fact, ion channels comprise the third-largest drug target type, following enzymes and receptors. Literature has shown that suppression of TRPM7 results in inhibition of migration, invasion, and proliferation in several human brain tumours. Therefore, TRPM7 presents a potential target for therapeutic brain tumour interventions. This article reviews current literature on TRPM7 as a potential drug target in the context of brain tumours and provides an overview of various selective and non-selective modulators of the channel relevant to pharmacology, oncology, and ion channel function.

[PMID: 34819108 PMCID: PMC8611959 DOI: 10.1186/s12938-021-00953-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Large bone defects have always been a great challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The use of a good bone substitute obtained by bone tissue engineering (BTE) may be an effective treatment method. Artificial hydroxyapatite, a commonly used bone defect filler, is the main inorganic component of bones. Because of its high brittleness, fragility, and lack of osteogenic active elements, its application is limited. Therefore, its fragility should be reduced, its osteogenic activity should be improved, and a more suitable scaffold should be constructed. METHODS In this study, a microhydroxyapatite whisker (mHAw) was developed, which was doped with the essential trace active elements Mg2+ and Sr2+ through a low-temperature sintering technique. After being formulated into a slurry, a bionic porous scaffold was manufactured by extrusion molding and freeze drying, and then SiO2 was used to improve the mechanical properties of the scaffold. The hydrophilicity, pore size, surface morphology, surface roughness, mechanical properties, and release rate of the osteogenic elements of the prepared scaffold were detected and analyzed. In in vitro experiments, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) were cultured on the scaffold to evaluate cytotoxicity, cell proliferation, spreading, and osteogenic differentiation. RESULTS Four types of scaffolds were obtained: mHAw-SiO2 (SHA), Mg-doped mHAw-SiO2 (SMHA), Sr-doped mHAw-SiO2 (SSHA), and Mg-Sr codoped mHAw-SiO2 (SMSHA). SHA was the most hydrophilic (WCA 5°), while SMHA was the least (WCA 8°); SMHA had the smallest pore size (247.40 ± 23.66 μm), while SSHA had the largest (286.20 ± 19.04 μm); SHA had the smallest Young's modulus (122.43 ± 28.79 MPa), while SSHA had the largest (188.44 ± 47.89 MPa); and SHA had the smallest compressive strength (1.72 ± 0.29 MPa), while SMHA had the largest (2.47 ± 0.25 MPa). The osteogenic active elements Si, Mg, and Sr were evenly distributed and could be sustainably released from the scaffolds. None of the scaffolds had cytotoxicity. SMSHA had the highest supporting cell proliferation and spreading rate, and its ability to promote osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs was also the strongest. CONCLUSIONS These composite porous scaffolds not only have acceptable physical and chemical properties suitable for BTE but also have higher osteogenic bioactivity and can possibly serve as potential bone repair materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been linked to an increased risk of osteoporosis, with various indirect mechanisms so far identified. Although no direct underlying mechanism for effect on bone cells have been investigated with the use of PPIs. Melastatin-like transient receptor potential 7 (TRPM7)channel has been engaged in the proliferation of bone cells. TRPM7 channel is regulated by extracellular Mg2+ and Ca2+ level, that further encourages to analyse if any imbalance with pantoprazole usage could alter bone remodelling process mediated by TRPM7. OBJECTIVES The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of pantoprazole on the calcium and magnesium level, the cations involved in the bone remodelling process, as well as role of the TRPM7 channel in the proliferation of bone cells. METHODS A cytotoxicity study was carried out to study the effect of pantoprazole on the bone cell using MC3T3-E1 cell line, together with the expression of TRPM7 was determined post-pantoprazole treatment. An in vivo study in rats was carried out for estimation of Ca2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+/Mg2+ ratio as well as bone strength was measured over a duration of 4 weeks and 8 weeks with the treatment of pantoprazole. A pilot-scale clinical study was carried out in patients with a fracture to support the evidence of preliminary findings from in-vitro and in vivo studies. RESULTS MC3T3-E1 cell line treated with pantoprazole showed decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner and reduced expression of TRPM7 channel, evidencing interaction of TRPM7 and pantoprazole in the bone remodelling process. A pilot study conducted on 12 patients having major fractures showed changes in serum Mg2+ and Ca2+ levels over a period of 1 month as well as the animal study also showed ionic imbalance over 8-week treatment with pantoprazole. Bone density measured for the patient at the end of the 1-month treatment was found to be in the osteopenic category, together with the animal study which showed a decrease in femur bone strength for the animal treated with pantoprazole over a period of 8 weeks. CONCLUSION The study findings proved a negative impact of pantoprazole use on Ca2+ and Mg2+ levels, which can impact TRPM7-mediated bone remodelling which serves to be a possible mechanism for osteoporosis upon pantoprazole use.

Abstract
Bone pain is the primary problem for patients with osteoporosis. Ketoprofen is clinically used to treat osteoporotic pain, while long-term oral administration of ketoprofen can cause some side effects. In addition, osteoporosis is also accompanied by bone mass loss and inflammation. In this study, we designed a multifunctional drug (Ket@Mg-MOF-74) adopted Mg-MOF-74 to load ketoprofen to treat osteoporotic pain, bone loss and inflammation comprehensively. Mg-MOF-74 was prepared, and the physicochemical characterization proved that it had excellent physical and chemical stability. Ket@Mg-MOF-74 was synthesized by post-synthetic modification method and a high loading rate of ketoprofen was confirmed. Drug release and ion release experiments indicated Ket@Mg-MOF-74 had a good controlled release of ketoprofen and Mg in solution. Cell experiments in vitro proved the compound drug could significantly reduce the expression of pain-related genes of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), obviously up-regulated the expression of osteogenic cytokines and remarkably down-regulated the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors. Therefore, Ket@Mg-MOF-74 is believed a promising painkiller for osteoporotic bone pain, with the function of anti-inflammatory and promoting bone formation.

Abstract
Although the use of bioactive ions and proteins are crucial for bone defect repair, delivering them in a stable and controlled manner remains challenging. To achieve controlled delivery of osteogenic active factor, we developed a novel double network (DN) hydrogel capable of co-delivering Mg2+ ions and BMP2 in a controlled localized manner. This DN hydrogel was composed of poly (acrylamide) and chitosan, in which the poly (acrylamide) was cross-linked via covalent bond and the chitosan was grafted using bisphosphonate (BP) to form metal coordination bonds with Mg2+ ions. Due to this dynamic dissociation and re-association of the "BP-Mg2+" coordination bond, it was possible to deliver Mg2+ ions in a stable and controlled manner. Additionally, the obtained DN hydrogel exhibited an effective tensile strength (0.62 MPa), perfect stretchability (973% fracture strain), and good creep and recovery properties due to the dynamic cross-linking effect of "BP-Mg2+". Additionally, the hydrogel could synergistically promote the proliferation and differentiation of mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1 cells) in vitro via the BMP2/Wnt pathway. In the skull defect rat model, this positive delivery government of Mg2+ ions and BMP2 synergistically accelerated bone regeneration. In conclusion, this dynamic cross-linked hydrogel containing Mg2+ ions established a new platform for the sustained release of osteogenesis factor and accelerated the bone regeneration process.

Abstract
Many studies were conducted to change the surface morphology and chemical composition of Ti implants for the improvement of antibacterial ability and osseointegration between medical Ti and surrounding bone tissue. In this study, we successfully prepared a novel dual-function coating on pure Ti surface, i.e. Cu and Mg-co-doped TiO2 nanotube (TN) coating, by combining anodisation and hydrothermal treatment (HT), which could act as a delivery platform for the sustained release of Cu and Mg ions. Results showed that the amounts of Cu and Mg were about 5.43 wt%-6.55 wt% and 0.69 wt%-0.73 wt%, respectively. In addition, the surface morphology of Cu and Mg-co-doped TN (CuMTN) coatings transformed into nanoneedles after HT for 1 h. Compared with TN, CuMTN had no change in roughness and remarkable improved hydrophilicity. Antibacterial tests revealed that CuMTN had an antibacterial rate of more than 93% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, thereby showing excellent antibacterial properties. In addition, CuMTN could induce the formation of apatite well after being immersed in simulated body fluid, showing good biological activity. Preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) cultured on CuMTN-coated Ti demonstrated better proliferation and osteogenic differentiation than pristine and as-anodised specimens. To the best of our best knowledge, this study had successfully attempted to combine anodisation and HT, introduce Cu/Mg elements and functionalise Ti-based implant surfaces with enhanced hydrophilicity, osteogenesis and antimicrobial properties that can meet clinical needs for the first time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is considered a promising technology for repairing bone defects. Mg2+ promotes osteogenesis, which makes Mg-based scaffolds popular for research on orthopedic implant materials. Angiogenesis plays an important role in the process of bone tissue repair and regeneration, and it is one of the important problems in BTE urgently needs to be solved. METHODS Mg was firstly coated with Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) via hydrothermal treatment, and polydopamine (DOPA) was then used as the connecting medium to immobilize vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the CDHA coating. The physicochemical properties of the coatings were characterized by SEM, EDS, XPS, FTIR and immersion experiment in SBF. The ahesion, proliferation, and angiogenesis potential of the coatings were determined in vitro. RESULTS The composite coating significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Mg and prohibited excessively high local alkalinity. VEGF could be firmly immobilized on Mg via polydopamine. The CCK-8, live/dead staining and adhesion test results showed that the VEGF-DOPA-CDHA coating exhibited excellent biocompatibility and could significantly improve the adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells on Mg. Microtubule formation, immunofluorescence and Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments showed that VEGF immobilized on Mg still possessed bioactivity in promoting the differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells into endothelial cells. CONCLUSION In this study, we enabled the angiogenic biological activity of Mg by immobilizing VEGF on Mg. Mg was successfully coated with a functional VEGF-DOPA-CDHA composite coating. The CDHA coating significantly increased the corrosion resistance of Mg and prohibited the negative effect of excessively high local alkalinity on the biological activity of VEGF. As an intermediate layer, the DOPA coating protects Mg, and DOPA provides a binding site for VEGF so that VEGF can be firmly immobilized on Mg and give Mg angiogenic bioactivity during the initial period of implantation. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE The treatment of large bone defect is still one of the orthopedic trauma diseases that are difficult to be completely treated in clinic. The development of tissue engineering technology provides a new option for the treatment of large bone defects. The regeneration of blood vessels is of great significance for the repair of bone defects. In this study, VEGF was connected on the surface of degradable magnesium by covalent bonding. Vascular biofunctionalized magnesium scaffolds are expected to regenerate bone tissue with blood transport and be used in the clinical treatment of large bone defects.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are proliferative and multipotent cells that play a key role in the bone regeneration process. Empirical data have repeatedly shown the bioregulatory importance of magnesium (Mg) ions in MSC growth and osteogenesis. In this study, we propose an agent-based model to predict the spatiotemporal dynamics of the MSC population and osteogenic differentiation in response to Mg2+ ions. A fuzzy-logic controller was designed to govern the decision-making process of cells by predicting four cellular processes of proliferation, differentiation, migration, and mortality in response to several important bioregulatory factors such as Mg2+ ions, pH, BMP2, and TGF-β1. The model was calibrated using the empirical data obtained from three sets of cell culture experiments. The model successfully reproduced the empirical observations regarding live cell count, viability, DNA content, and the differentiation-related markers of alkaline phosphate (ALP) and osteocalcin (OC). The simulation results, in agreement with the empirical data, showed that Mg2+ ions within 3-6 mM concentration have the highest stimulation effect on cell population growth. The model also correctly reproduced the stimulatory effect of Mg2+ ions on ALP and its inhibitory effect on OC as the early and late differentiation markers, respectively. Besides, the numerical simulation shed light on the innate cellular differences of the cells cultured in different experiments in terms of the proliferative capacity as well as sensitivity to Mg2+ ions. The proposed model can be adopted in the study of the osteogenesis around Mg-based implants where ions released due to degradation interact with local cells and regulate bone regeneration.

Abstract
Gallbladder cancer can be difficult to detect in its early stages and is prone to metastasize, causing bile duct obstruction, which is usually treated by stent implantation in clinic. However, the commonly used biliary stents are non-degradable, which not only prone to secondary blockage, but also need to be removed by secondary surgery. Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) is expected to one of the promising candidates for degradable biliary stents due to its excellent physicochemical property and biocompatibility. In this work, we studied the influence of high-purity Mg wires on gallbladder cancer through in vitro and in vivo experiments and revealed that the degradation products of Mg could significantly inhibit the growth of gallbladder cancer cells and promote their apoptosis. Our findings indicate that Mg biliary stent possesses the function of draining bile and treating gallbladder cancer, suggesting that Mg has good application prospects in biliary surgery. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Current research and development of biomedical magnesium are mainly concentrated in the cardiovascular and orthopedics field. Degradable magnesium bile duct stents have great application prospects in the treatment of bile duct blockage caused by bile duct-related cancers. At present, the effect of magnesium implants on gallbladder cancer is not clear. Our work verified the effectiveness of magnesium wire implants in inhibiting gallbladder cancer through in vivo and in vitro experiments, and studied the effect of magnesium degradation products on gallbladder cancer cells from the perspective of cell proliferation, apoptosis and cycle. This study provided new understanding for the application of magnesium in biliary surgery.

Abstract
In order to improve early osseointegration and long-term survival rate of implants, a multifunctional titanium surface that promotes osteogenesis and antibacterial properties is expected. Incorporation of bioactive trace elements such as magnesium ions was proved a promising method to improve osseointegration of titanium. Phytic acid has strong chelating ability with multivalent cations, which has been used in surface modification. Moreover, phytic acid was proved antibacterial potential. Herein, to improve the osteogenic and antibacterial properties, a phytic acid-magnesium (PA-Mg) layer was introduced on titanium using phytic acid as a cross-linker molecule. No obvious changes of the surface characterization were observed by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that the PA-Mg layer covalently bond to the Ti surface, and the thickness of the PA-Mg layer was about 150 nm. Besides, improved hydrophilic and more protein adsorption were observed on Ti-PA-Mg. Notably, a relatively controlled magnesium release was also observed on Ti-PA-Mg. Human bone mesenchymal stem cells showed better adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation on Ti-PA-Mg samples, indicating improved biocompatibility and osteoinductivity. Moreover, Ti-PA-Mg had better antibacterial properties against porphyromonas gingivalis than Ti. Overall, the PA-Mg layer on Ti surface improved the osteogenic and antibacterial properties, which may have promise for use in dental implantation.

Abstract
Calcium silicate-based cement has been widely used for endodontic repair. However, it has a long setting time and needs to shorten setting time. This study investigated the effects of magnesium (Mg) ion on the setting reaction, mechanical properties, and biological properties of calcium silicate cement (CSC). Sol-gel route was used to synthesize Mg ion-doped calcium silicate cement. Synthesized cement was formulated with the addition of different contents of Mg ion, according to 0, 1, 3, 5 mol% of Mg ion-doped calcium silicate. The synthesized cements were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We also evaluated the physicochemical and biological properties of cement, such as the setting time, compressive strength, micro-hardness, simulated body fluid (SBF) immersion, cytotoxicity, and cell differentiation tests. As a result, the Mg ion improves the hydration properties of calcium silicate cement, and the setting time is reduced by increasing the amounts of Mg ion. However, the mechanical properties deteriorated with increasing Mg ion, and 1 and 3 mol% Mg-doped calcium silicate had appropriate mechanical properties. Also, the results of biological properties such as cytotoxicity, ALP activity, and ARS staining improved with Mg ion. Consequently, the optimal condition is 3 mol% of Mg ion-doped calcium silicate (3%Mg-CSC).

Abstract
Implant therapy after osteosarcoma surgery is a major clinical challenge currently, especially the requirements for mechanical properties, degradability of the implants, and their inhibition of residual tumor cells. Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloy as medical bone implant material has full advantages and huge potential development space. Wherein, Mg-lithium (Li) based alloy, as an ultra-light alloy, has good properties for implants under certain conditions, and both Mg and Li have inhibitory effects on tumor cells. Therefore, Mg-Li alloy is expected to be applied in bone implant materials for mechanical supporting and inhibiting tumor cells simultaneously. In this contribution, the Mg-xLi-Zinc (Zn) series alloys (x = 3 wt%, 6 wt%, 9 wt%) were prepared to study the influence of different elements and contents on the structure and properties of the alloy, and the biosafety of the alloy was also evaluated. Our data showed that the yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation of as-cast Mg-xLi-Zn alloy were higher than those of as-cast Mg-Zn alloy; Mg-xLi-Zn alloy can kill osteosarcoma cells (MG-63) in a concentration-dependent manner, wherein Mg-3Li-Zn alloy (x = 3 wt%) and Mg-6Li-Zn alloy (x = 6 wt%) promoted the proliferation of osteoblasts (MC3T3) at a certain concentration of Li. In summary, our study demonstrated that the Mg-6Li-Zn alloy could be potentially applied as a material of orthopedic implant for its excellent multi-functions.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 9:668428. [PMID: 33842452 PMCID: PMC8026878 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.668428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Electrospinning technique has attracted considerable attention in fabrication of cellulose nanofibrils or nanocellulose membranes, in which polycaprolactone (PCL) could be used as a promising precursor to prepare various cellulose nanofibril membranes for periodontal tissue regeneration. Conventional bio-membranes and cellulose films used in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) can prevent the downgrowth of epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and connective tissue in the area of tooth root but have limitations related to osteogenic and antimicrobial properties. Cellulose nanofibrils can be used as an ideal drug delivery material to encapsulate and carry some drugs. In this study, magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles-incorporated PCL/gelatin core-shell nanocellulose periodontal membranes were fabricated using coaxial electrospinning technique, which was termed as Coaxial-MgO. The membranes using single-nozzle electrospinning technique, namely Blending-MgO and Blending-Blank, were used as control. The morphology and physicochemical property of these nanocellulose membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrum of X-ray (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), contact angle, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that the incorporation of MgO nanoparticles barely affected the morphology and mechanical property of nanocellulose membranes. Coaxial-MgO with core-shell fiber structure had better hydrophilic property and sustainable release of magnesium ion (Mg2+). CCK-8 cell proliferation and EdU staining demonstrated that Coaxial-MgO membranes showed better human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) proliferation rates compared with the other group due to its gelatin shell with great biocompatibility and hydrophilicity. SEM and immunofluorescence assay results illustrated that the Coaxial-MgO scaffold significantly enhanced hPDLSCs adhesion. In vitro osteogenic and antibacterial properties showed that Coaxial-MgO membrane enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, formation of mineralized nodules, osteogenic-related genes [ALP, collagen type 1 (COL1), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2)], and high antibacterial properties toward Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A. a) when compared with controls. Our findings suggested that MgO nanoparticles-incorporated coaxial electrospinning PCL-derived nanocellulose periodontal membranes might have great prospects for periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and accounted for an estimated 9.6 million deaths, or 1 in 6 deaths, in 2018. Despite recent advances in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies, the burden of this disease continues to grow with each year, with dire physical, emotional, and economic consequences for all levels of society. Classic characteristics of cancer include rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation and spread of cancerous cells to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7), a Ca2+- and Mg2+-permeable nonselective divalent cation channel defined by the atypical presence of an α-kinase within its C-terminal domain, has been implicated, due to its modulation of Ca2+ and Mg2+ influx, in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes, including cancer. TRPM7 is overexpressed in several cancer types and has been shown to variably increase cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumour cells. However, the relative contribution of TRPM7 kinase domain activity to cancer as opposed to ion flux through its channel pore remains an area of active discovery. In this review, we describe the specific role of the TRPM7 kinase domain in cancer processes as well as mechanisms of regulation and inhibition of the kinase domain.

TRPM7 Kinase Is Essential for Neutrophil Recruitment and Function via Regulation of Akt/mTOR Signaling. Front Immunol 2021; 11:606893.

Abstract
During inflammation, neutrophils are one of the first responding cells of innate immunity, contributing to a fast clearance of infection and return to homeostasis. However, excessive neutrophil infiltration accelerates unsolicited disproportionate inflammation for instance in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The transient-receptor-potential channel-kinase TRPM7 is an essential regulator of immune system homeostasis. Naïve murine T cells with genetic inactivation of the TRPM7 enzyme, due to a point mutation at the active site, are unable to differentiate into pro-inflammatory T cells, whereas regulatory T cells develop normally. Moreover, TRPM7 is vital for lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced activation of murine macrophages. Within this study, we show that the channel-kinase TRPM7 is functionally expressed in neutrophils and has an important impact on neutrophil recruitment during inflammation. We find that human neutrophils cannot transmigrate along a CXCL8 chemokine gradient or produce reactive oxygen species in response to gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide LPS, if TRPM7 channel or kinase activity are blocked. Using a recently identified TRPM7 kinase inhibitor, TG100-115, as well as murine neutrophils with genetic ablation of the kinase activity, we confirm the importance of both TRPM7 channel and kinase function in murine neutrophil transmigration and unravel that TRPM7 kinase affects Akt1/mTOR signaling thereby regulating neutrophil transmigration and effector function. Hence, TRPM7 represents an interesting potential target to treat unwanted excessive neutrophil invasion.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with the ability to differentiate into bone-producing cells, which is essential for bone formation. Magnesium biomedical materials, such as biodegradable matters with osteoinductive properties, play a vital role in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. International and Chinese studies have shown that magnesium ions, which are produced by biodegradation, mainly achieve this effect by regulating the expression of genes and proteins associated with osteogenesis, activating multiple signal pathways, elevating autophagic activities, and adjusting the pH in the microenvironment. It is of great significance to study the regulatory mechanisms and identify the optimal conditions that how magnesium ions promote osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. In this study, we summarized the regulatory mechanisms noted above.

Abstract
Bone is the most studied tissue in the field of tissue regeneration. Even though it has intrinsic capability to regenerate upon injury, several pathologies and injuries could hamper the highly orchestrated bone formation and resorption process. Bone tissue engineering seeks to mimic the extracellular matrix of the tissue and the different biochemical pathways that lead to successful regeneration. For many years, the use of extrinsic factors (i.e., growth factors and drugs) to modulate these biological processes have been the preferred choice in the field. Even though it has been successful in some instances, this approach presents several drawbacks, such as safety-concerns, short release profile and half-time life of the compounds. On the other hand, the use of inorganic ions has attracted significant attention due to their therapeutic effects, stability and lower biological risks. Biomaterials play a key role in such strategies where they serve as a substrate for the incorporation and release of the ions. In this review, the methodologies used to incorporate ions in biomaterials is presented, highlighting the osteogenic properties of such ions and the roles of biomaterials in controlling their release.

Abstract
Bone repair and regeneration processes are markedly impaired in diabetes mellitus (DM). Intervening approaches similar to those developed for normal healing conditions have been adopted to combat DM-associated bone regeneration. However, limited outcomes were achieved for these approaches. Hence, together with osteoconductive hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocrystals, osteoinductive magnesium oxide (MgO) nanocrystals were uniformly mounted into the network matrix of an organic hydrogel composed of cysteine-modified γ-polyglutamic acid (PGA-Cys) to construct a hybrid and rough hydrogel scaffold. It was hypothesized that the HA/MgO nanocrystal hybrid hydrogel (HA/MgO-H) scaffold can significantly promote bone repair in DM rats via the controlled release of Mg2+. The HA/MgO-H scaffold exhibited a sponge-like morphology with porous 3D networks inside it and displayed higher mechanical strength than a PGA-Cys scaffold. Meanwhile, the HA/MgO-H scaffold gradually formed a tough hydrogel with G' of more than 1000 Pa after hydration, and its high hydration swelling ratio was still retained. Moreover, after the chemical degradation of the dispersed MgO nanocrystals, slow release of Mg2+ from the hydrogel matrix was achieved for up to 8 weeks because of the chelation between Mg2+ and the carboxyl groups of PGA-Cys. In vitro cell studies showed that the HA/MgO-H scaffold could not only effectively promote the migration and proliferation of BMSCs but could also induce osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, in the 8th week after implanting the HA/MgO-H scaffold into femur bone defect zones of DM rats, more effective bone repair was presented by micro-CT imaging. The bone mineral density (397.22 ± 16.36 mg cm-3), trabecular thickness (0.48 ± 0.07 mm), and bone tissue volume/total tissue volume (79.37 ± 7.96%) in the HA/MgO-H group were significantly higher than those in the other groups. Moreover, higher expression of COL-I and OCN after treatment with HA/MgO-H was also displayed. The bone repair mechanism of the HA/MgO-H scaffold was highly associated with reduced infiltration of pro-inflammatory macrophages (CD80+) and higher angiogenesis (CD31+). Collectively, the HA/MgO-H scaffold without the usage of bioactive factors may be a promising biomaterial to accelerate bone defect healing under diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant tumor characterized by the direct production of bone or osteoid tissues by proliferating tumor cells. Suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 2 (SUV39H2) is implicated in the occurrence of OS. Therefore, we designed this study to investigate effects of SUV39H2 in OS meditated by the lysine specific demethylase-1/E-cadherin (LSD1/CDH1) axis. METHODS Clinical OS tissues and paracancerous tissues were collected for analysis of SUV39H2, LSD1 and CDH1 expression, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was applied to test the relationship between SUV39H2 expression and overall survival. Loss- and gain-of-function assays were conducted to determine the roles of SUV39H2, LSD1 and CDH1 in OS epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and migration in OS cells, with quantitation of relevant proteins by immunofluorescence. We confirmed the effects of modulating the SUV39H2/CDH1 axis in a mouse OS tumor model. RESULTS SUV39H2 and LSD1 were highly expressed, while CDH1 was downregulated in OS tissues and cells. SUV39H2 expression correlated inversely with overall survival of patients with OS. SUV39H2 positively regulated LSD1 expression, while LSD1 negatively regulated CDH1 expression. SUV39H2 or LSD1 overexpression, or CDH1 silencing promoted migration and EMT, as indicated by reduced E-cadherin and dramatically upregulated Vimentin and N-cadherin of OS cells. SUV39H2 expedited the progression of OS, which was reversed by CDH1 repression in the setting of OS in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our results demonstrate highly expressed SUV39H2 in OS elevates the expression of LSD1 to downregulate CDH1 expression, thereby aggravating OS, providing a potential therapeutic target for treatment of OS.
