In vitro biological activities of the flexible and virus nanoparticle-decorated silk fibroin-based films. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 216:437-445. [PMID: 35809668 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.07.011] [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: 04/11/2022] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Flexible films were prepared from silk fibroin (SF) and gelatin (GA) with a presence of glycerol (Gly), followed by water vapor annealing to achieve water-insoluble matrices. The blended SF/GA/Gly films were chemically conjugated with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), either native (TMV-wt) or genetically modified with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequences (TMV-rgd), to improve cellular responses. The attachment and proliferation of L929 cells on TMV-decorated films were improved, possibly due to enhanced surface roughness. The cellular responses were pronounced with TMV-rgd, due to the proper decoration of RGD, which is an integrin recognition motif supporting cell binding. However, the biological results were inconclusive for human primary cells because of an innate slow growth kinetic of the cells. Additionally, the cells on SF/GA/Gly films were greater populated in S and G2/M phase, and the cell cycle arrest was notably increased in the TMV-conjugated group. Our findings revealed that the films modified with TMV were cytocompatible and the cellular responses were significantly enhanced when conjugated with its RGD mutants. The biological analysis on the cellular mechanisms in response to TMV is further required to ensure the safety concern of the biomaterials toward clinical translation.

Abstract
E ven a well-designed system can only control stem cell adhesion, release, and differentiation, while other cell manipulations such as in situ labeling and retention in target tissues, are difficult to achieve in the same system. Herein, native ligand cluster-mimicking islands, composed of topologically engineered ligand, anchoring point AuNP, nuclease mimetics Ce IV complexes and magnetic core Fe 3 O 4 , are designed to facilitate comprehensive cell manipulations in a programmable manner. Three islands with different amounts of AuNPs are constructed, which means tunable interligand spacing within a cluster. These nanostructures are chemically coupled to a substrate using DNA tethers. Under tissue-penetrative magnetic field, this integrated system promotes stem cell adhesion, proliferation, mechanosensing, differentiation, detachment, in situ effective magnetic labeling and retention both in vitro and in vivo , offering fascinating opportunities for biomimetic matrix in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has gradually evolved as a promising therapeutic strategy to the modern health care of aging and diseased population. In this study, we developed a novel nanofibrous scaffold and verified its application in the critical bone defect regeneration. The metformin-incorporated nano-gelatin/hydroxyapatite fibers (NGF) was produced by electrospinning, cross-linked, and then characterized by X-ray powder diffractometer and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, cell differentiation, and quantitative osteogenic gene and protein expression were analyzed by bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) from rat. Rat forearm critical bone defect model was performed for the in vivo study. The NGF were characterized by their porous structures with proper interconnectivity without significant cytotoxic effects; the adhesion of BMSCs on the NGF could be enhanced. The osteogenic gene and protein expression were upregulated. Postimplantation, the new regenerated bone in bone defect was well demonstrated in the NGF samples. We demonstrated that the metformin-incorporated NGF greatly improved healing potential on the critical-size bone defect. Although metformin-incorporated NGF had advantageous effectiveness during bone regeneration, further validation is required before it can be applied to clinical applications. Impact statement Bone is the structure that supports the rest of the human body. Critical-size bone defect hinders the regeneration of damaged bone tissues and compromises the mechanical strength of the skeletal system. Characterized by their porous structures with proper interconnectivity, the electrospinning nano-gelatin/hydroxyapatite fibrous scaffold developed in this study can greatly improve the healing potential on the critical-size bone defect. Further validation can validate its potential clinical applications.

Abstract
The surface free energy of a biomaterial plays an important role in the early stages of cell-biomaterial interactions, profoundly influencing protein adsorption, interfacial water accessibility, and cell attachment on the biomaterial surface. Although multiple approaches have been developed to engineer the surface free energy of biomaterials, systematically tuning their surface free energy without altering other physicochemical properties remains challenging. In this study, we constructed an array of chemically-equivalent surfaces with comparable apparent roughness through assembly of gold nanoparticles adopting various geometrically-distinct shapes but all capped with the same surface ligand, (1-hexadecyl)trimethylammonium chloride, on cell culture substrates. We found that bone marrow stem cells exhibited distinct osteogenic differentiation behaviours when interacting with different types of substrates comprising shape-controlled gold nanoparticles. Our results reveal that bone marrow stem cells are capable of sensing differences in the nanoscale topographical features, which underscores the role of the surface free energy of nanostructured biomaterials in regulating cell responses. The study was approved by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, School of Medicine, University of South Carolina.

[PMID: 32889111 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.08.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Biomedical device-associated infections (BAI) and osteosynthesis are two main complications following the orthopedic implant surgery, especially while infecting bacteria form a mature biofilm, which can protect the organisms from the host immune system and antibiotic therapy. Comparing with the single antibiotics therapeutic method, the combination of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and conventional antibiotics exert a high level of antibacterial activity. Nevertheless, one major issue that extremely restricts the potential application of AgNP/antiviotics is the uncontrolled release. Moreover, the lack of osteogenic ability may cause the osteosynthesis. Thus, herein we fabricated a structure-controlled drug-loaded silk fibroin (SF) coating that can achieve the size and release control of AgNPs and high efficient osteogenesis. Three comparative SF-based coatings were fabricated: α-structured coating (α-helices 32.7%,), m-structured coating (β-sheets 28.3%) and β-structured coating (β-sheets 41%). Owning to the high content of α-helices structure and small AgNPs (20 nm), α-structured coating displayed better protein adsorption and hydrophilicity, as well as pH-dependent and long-lasting antibacterial performance. In vitro studies demonstrated that α coating showed biocompatibility (cellular attachment, spreading and proliferation), high ALP expression, collagen secretion and calcium mineralization. Moreover, after one month subcutaneous implantation in vivo, α-structured coating elicited minimal, comparable inflammatory response. Additionally, in a rabbit femoral defect model, α-structured coating displayed a significant improvement on the generation of new-born bone and bonding between the new bone and the tissue, implying a rapid and durable osteointegration. Expectedly, this optimized structure-controlled SF-based coating can be an alternative and prospective solution for the current challenges in orthopedics. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, an AgNPs/Gentamycin-loaded structured-controlled silk fibroin coatings were constructed on Ti implant's surface to guarantee the success of implantation even in the face of bacterial infection. In comparison, the α-structured coating had the lowest content of β-sheets structure (19.0%) and the smallest particle size of AgNPs (~ 20 nm), and owned pH-responsive characteristic due to reversible α-helices structural. Thanks to pH-responsive release of Ag+, the α-structure coating could effectively inhibit adhesive bacteria and kill planktonic bacteria by releasing a large amount of reactive oxygen radicals. Through in vitro biological results (cell proliferation, differentiation and osteogenic gene expression) and in vivo rabbit femur implantation results, the α-structure coating had good biocompatible and osteogenic properties.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have unique capabilities and considerable promise for many different biological uses. One capability is delivering bioactive cargos to specific cells, tissues, or organisms. Depending on the task, there are multiple variables to consider including nanoparticle selection, targeting strategies, and incorporating cargo so it can be delivered in a biologically active form. One nanoparticle option, genetically controlled plant viral nanoparticles (PVNPs), is highly uniform within a given virus but quite variable between viruses with a broad range of useful properties. PVNPs are flexible and versatile tools for incorporating and delivering a wide range of small or large molecule cargos. Furthermore, PVNPs can be modified to create nanostructures that can solve problems in medical, environmental, and basic research. This review discusses the currently available techniques for delivering bioactive cargos with PVNPs and potential cargos that can be delivered with these strategies.

Abstract
Plant viruses show great diversity in shape and size, but each species forms unique nucleoprotein particles that are symmetrical and monodisperse. The genetically programed structure of plant viruses allows them to be modified by genetic engineering, bioconjugation, or encapsulation to form virus nanoparticles (VNPs) that are suitable for a broad range of applications. Plant VNPs can be used to present foreign proteins or epitopes, to construct inorganic hybrid materials, or to carry molecular cargos, allowing their utilization as imaging reagents, immunomodulators, therapeutics, nanoreactors, and biosensors. The medical applications of plant viruses benefit from their inability to infect and replicate in human cells. The structural properties of plant viruses also make them useful as components of hydrogels for tissue engineering. Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks composed of hydrophilic polymers that can absorb large amounts of water. They are used as supports for tissue regeneration, as reservoirs for controlled drug release, and are found in contact lenses, many wound healing materials, and hygiene products. They are also useful in ecological applications such as wastewater treatment. Hydrogel-based matrices are structurally similar to the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and provide a scaffold for the attachment of cells. To fully replicate the functions of the ECM it is necessary to augment hydrogels with biological cues that regulate cellular interactions. This can be achieved by incorporating functionalized VNPs displaying ligands that influence the mechanical characteristics of hydrogels and their biological properties, promoting the survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of embedded cells.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated rapid osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on substrates with plant virus modified nanotopographical cues as a promising strategy for bone repair; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized that the highly structurally ordered virus coat proteins, responsible for targeting specific cellular components, are critical for the osteogenesis promotion. In this study, hybrid viral gold nanorods were prepared to explore the effects of highly ordered arranged virus coat proteins on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The results herein indicate that it is the nanotopographical cues modified by structurally ordered virus nanoparticles, not the chemical properties of virus surface, that mediate osteogenesis. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) expression is significantly increased and serves as a modulator that mediates the osteogenic differentiation in response to the viral particle coatings. After BMP-2 is inhibited by Noggin, the osteogenesis promoting effects are significantly compromised, demonstrated by lower alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium sequestration. This study reveals that plant virus modified nanotopographical substrates promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through increasing BMP-2 autocrine. It provides key insights to engineering functional materials for rapid bone repair.

Abstract
Favorable cytocompatibility and osteogenesis potential are critical for the development of a bone repair material. In this study, two types of surface-modified whiskers, grafted magnesia and chitin (g-MgO and g-CHN) whiskers, were synthesized and introduced into a poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) matrix singly or together to prepare PLLA/g-MgO/g-CHN composite films and bone nails via injection molding. On the account of the synergetic contribution of g-MgO and g-CHN whiskers, the enhanced cell adhesion, spreading, proliferation of mouse embryo osteoblast precursor (MC3T3-E1) cells, as well as the alteration of cell-cycle and inhibition of cell apoptosis, were observed on PLLA/g-MgO/g-CHN film as compared to pure PLLA, PLLA/g-MgO and PLLA/g-CHN films. More importantly, the highest level of the secretion of ALP and the formation of calcium deposition, accompanied with expression of osteogenesis genes (ALP, Runx-2, COL I, OCN) in vitro were obtained for the PLLA/g-MgO/g-CHN film among all of the material groups. Additionally, the PLLA and PLLA composite bone nails were implanted in rabbits' femurs and new bone formation was detected on PLLA/g-MgO/g-CHN group after 16 weeks of implantation by 3D reconstruction of micro-CT and histological analyses. Besides, the bending strength of defected bone repaired by PLLA/g-MgO/g-CHN bone nail was high to 48 MPa, which was far stronger than other bone nail groups. Overall, this study demonstrated the addition of g-MgO and g-CHN whiskers together in PLLA matrix played a synergistic promoting role in cell affinity and osteogenic differentiation, and the developed PLLA/g-MgO/g-CHN composites hold great potential in fields of bone repair.

Precisely shaped, tailored virus nanoparticles (VNPs) with multivalent protein surfaces are efficiently loaded with functional compounds such as contrast agents and drugs, and serve as carrier templates and targeting vehicles displaying e.g. peptides and synthetic molecules. Multiple modifications enable uses including vaccination, biosensing, tissue engineering, intravital delivery and theranostics. Novel concepts exploit self-organization capacities of viral building blocks into hierarchical 2D and 3D structures, and their conversion into biocompatible, biodegradable units. High yields of VNPs and proteins can be harvested from plants after a few days so that various products have reached or are close to commercialization. The article delineates potentials and limitations of biomedical plant VNP uses, integrating perspectives of chemistry, biomaterials sciences, molecular plant virology and process engineering.

Osteostimulation scaffolds of stem cells: BMP-7-derived peptide-decorated alginate porous scaffolds promote the aggregation and osteo-differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. Biopolymers 2018; 109:e23223. [PMID: 29732529 DOI: 10.1002/bip.23223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2017] [Revised: 04/11/2018] [Accepted: 04/12/2018] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
The scaffolds for stem cell-based bone tissue engineering should hold the ability to guide stem cells osteo-differentiating. Otherwise, stem cells will differentiate into unwanted cell types or will form tumors in vivo. Alginate, a natural polysaccharide with great biocompatibility, was widely used in biomedical applications. However, the limited bioactivity and poor osteogenesis capability of pristine alginate hampered its further application in tissue engineering. In this work, a bone forming peptide-1 (BFP-1), derived from bone morphogenetic protein-7, was grafted to alginate polymer chains to prepare peptide-decorated alginate porous scaffolds (pep-APS) for promoting osteo-differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). SEM images of pep-APS exhibited porous structure with about 90% porosity (pore size 100-300 μm), which was appropriate for hMSCs ingrowth. The adhesion, proliferation and aggregation of hMSCs grown on pep-APS were enhanced in vitro. Moreover, pep-APS promoted the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of hMSCs, and the osteo-related genes expression was obviously up-regulated. The immunochemical staining and western blot analysis results showed high expression level of OCN and Col1a1 in the hMSCs grown on pep-APS. This work provided a facile and valid strategy to endow the alginate polymers themselves with specific bioactivity and prepare osteopromoting scaffold with enhanced osteogenesis ability, possessing potential applications in stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The efficacy of stem cell-based bone tissue engineering has been hampered by cell death and limited fate control. A smart cell culture system with the capability of sequentially delivering multiple factors in specific growth stages, like the mechanism of the natural extracellular matrix modulating tissue formation, is attractive for enhancing cell activity and controlling cell fate. Here, a bone forming peptide-1 (BFP-1)-laden mesoporous silica nanoparticles (pep@MSNs) incorporated adhesion peptide, containing the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) domain, modified alginate hydrogel (RA) system (pep@MSNs-RA) was developed to promote the activity and stimulate osteo-differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in sequence. The survivability and proliferation of hMSCs were enhanced in the adhesion peptide modified hydrogel. Next, BFP-1 released from pep@MSNs induced hMSCs osteo-differentiation after the proliferation stage. Moreover, BFP-1 near the cells was self-captured by the additional cell-peptide cross-linked networks formed by the ligands (RGD) binding to receptors on the cell surface, leading to long-term sustained osteo-stimulation of hMSCs. The results suggest that independent and sequential stimulation in proliferation and osteo-differentiation stages could synergistically enhance the survivability, expansion, and osteogenesis of hMSCs, as compared to stimulating alone or simultaneously. Overall, this study provided a new and valid strategy for stem cell expansion and osteo-differentiation in 2D or 3D culture systems, possessing potential applications in 3D bio-printing and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
A major aim of tissue engineering is to develop biomimetic scaffolding materials that can guide the proliferation, self-renewal and differentiation of multipotent stem cells into specific lineages. Cellular functions can be controlled by the interactions between cells and biomaterials. Therefore, the surface chemistry and topography of support materials play a pivotal role in modulating cell behaviors at many stages of cell growth and development. Due to their highly ordered structure and programmable surface chemistries, which provide unique topography as biomaterials, viral nanoparticles have been utilized as building blocks for targeted cell growth and differentiation. This review article discusses the fabrication of two-dimensional virus-based thin film on substrates and highlights the study of the effect of chemical and physical cues introduced by plant virus nanoparticle thin films on the promotion of osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.

Abstract
Stem cells can interact and respond to the extracellular nanoscale environment. Viral nanoparticles have been utilized as building blocks to control cell growth and differentiation. By integrating stem cell research and virus nanoparticle chemistry together, a systematic analysis of the effects of nanotopography on stem cell differentiation can be accomplished. The fabrication of thin films of the viral nanoparticles is particularly valuable for such studies. Here, we describe two methods to fabricate plant virus-based thin films and procedures to study the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells on plant virus-based substrates. The method makes use of wild-type tobacco mosaic virus (wt-TMV), RGD-modified TMV (TMV-RGD), turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV), cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV), and potato virus X (PVX) for development of bone tissue engineering biomaterials.

Abstract
Viral nanotechnology utilizes virus nanoparticles (VNPs) and virus-like nanoparticles (VLPs) of plant viruses as highly versatile platforms for materials synthesis and molecular entrapment that can be used in the nanotechnological fields, such as in next-generation nanoelectronics, nanocatalysis, biosensing and optics, and biomedical applications, such as for targeting, therapeutic delivery, and non-invasive in vivo imaging with high specificity and selectivity. In particular, plant virus capsids provide biotemplates for the production of novel nanostructured materials with organic/inorganic moieties incorporated in a very precise and controlled manner. Interestingly, capsid proteins of spherical plant viruses can self-assemble into well-organized icosahedral three-dimensional (3D) nanoscale multivalent architectures with high monodispersity and structural symmetry. Using viral genetic and protein engineering of icosahedral viruses with a variety of sizes, the interior, exterior and the interfaces between coat protein (CP) subunits can be manipulated to fabricate materials with a wide range of desirable properties allowing for biomineralization, encapsulation, infusion, controlled self-assembly, and multivalent ligand display of nanoparticles or molecules for varied applications. In this review, we discuss the various functional nanomaterials/nanostructures developed using the VNPs and VLPs of different icosahedral plant viruses and their nano(bio)technological and nanomedical applications.

Abstract
Several bone diseases, including arthritis, fracture and osteoporosis, have a pathophysiologically important inflammatory component. Sustained inflammation can result in delayed bone healing. Therefore, to promote bone repair, it is important to inhibit inflammatory bone erosion and suppress pro-inflammatory mediators. In this study, aspirin significantly enhanced immunomodulation and osteogenic differentiation in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Additionally, an osteogenic BFP-1 peptide-decorated substrate (PS-PEP) enhanced osteogenic differentiation of aspirin-treated hMSCs compared to a pristine substrate. Alkaline phosphatase assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunostaining and Alizarin Red S staining revealed that aspirin-treated hMSCs cultured on PS-PEP exhibited enhanced osteogenesis compared with untreated cells. Thus, we report here that the anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects of aspirin promote the activity and osteogenesis of hMSCs. The combination of aspirin and an osteogenic BFP-1 peptide-decorated substrate suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and promotes osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs; therefore, this novel strategy has potential for application in cell therapy and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Hedgehog–Gli1 signaling is evolutionarily conserved and plays an essential role in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation as well as bone formation. To evaluate the role of the Hedgehog–Gli1 pathway in the response of osteoblasts to hierarchical biomaterial topographies, human MG63 osteoblasts were seeded onto smooth, microstructured, and micro-/nanotextured topography (MNT) titanium to assess osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in terms of proliferative activity, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production, and osteogenesis-related gene expression. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of Sonic hedgehog (Shh), Smoothened (Smo), and Gli1, and the protein levels were assayed by Western blotting. MG63 cells treated with the Smo inhibitor cyclopamine were seeded onto the titanium specimens, and the cell proliferation and differentiation were studied in the presence or absence of cyclopamine. Our results showed that compared to the smooth and microstructured surfaces, the MNTs induced a higher gene expression and protein production of Shh, Smo, and Gli1 as well as the activation of Hedgehog signaling. The enhanced proliferative activity, ALP production, and expression of the osteogenesis-related genes (bone morphogenetic protein-2, ALP, and runt-related transcription factor 2) enabled by the MNTs were significantly downregulated by the presence of cyclopamine to a similar level as those on the smooth and acid-etched microstructured surfaces in the absence of cyclopamine. This evidence explicitly demonstrates pivotal roles of Hedgehog–Gli1 signaling pathway in mediating the enhanced effect of MNTs on MG63 proliferation and differentiation, which greatly advances our understanding of the mechanism involved in the biological responsiveness of biomaterial topographies. These findings may aid in the optimization of hierarchical biomaterial topographies targeting Hedgehog–Gli1 signaling.

Abstract
Carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFRPEEK) possesses biomechanical properties such as elastic modulus similar to human bones and is becoming a dominant alternative to replace the traditional metallic implants. The defective osseointegration and bacterial infection risk of CFRPEEK, however, impede its clinical adoption. In the current study, a newly-developed carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone/nanohydroxyapatite (CFRPEEK/n-HA) ternary biocomposite was functionalized by covalently grafting carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) followed by the decoration of a bone-forming peptide (BFP) assisted via the polydopamine tag strategy. Antibacterial test with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) indicated that the CMC and peptide-conjugated substrates (pep-CMC-CFRPEEK/n-HA) significantly suppressed bacterial adhesion. In vitro cell attachment/growth, spreading assay, alkaline phosphatase activity, real-time PCR analysis, osteogenesis-related protein expression and calcium mineral deposition all disclosed greatly accelerated adhesion, proliferation and osteo-differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on the pep-CMC-CFRPEEK/n-HA biocomposite due to the additive effect of the CMC polysaccharide and the small osteoinductive peptide. More importantly, in vivo evaluation of the beagle tibia model by means of micro-CT, histological analysis, SEM observation and fluorescent labeling confirmed the remarkably boosted bioactivity and osteointegration. The CFRPEEK/n-HA ternary composite with the dual functions of bacterial adhesion reduction and osteointegration promotion holds great potential as a bioactive implant material in orthopedic/dental applications based on this scheme.

Abstract
Nanohydroxyapatite (HA) synthesized by biomimetic strategy is a promising nanomaterial as bone substitute due to its physicochemical features similar to those of natural nanocrystal in bone tissue. Inspired by mussel adhesive chemistry, a novel nano-HA was synthesized in our work by employing polydopamine (pDA) as template under weak alkaline condition. Subsequently, the as-prepared pDA-templated HA (tHA) was introduced into polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix via coelectrospinning, and a bioactive tHA/PCL composite nanofiber scaffold was developed targeted at bone regeneration application. Our research showed that tHA reinforced PCL composite nanofibers exhibited favorable cytocompatibility at given concentration of tHA (0-10 w.t%). Compared to pure PCL and traditional nano-HA enriched PCL (HA/PCL) composite nanofibers, enhanced cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were observed on tHA/PCL composite nanofibers on account of the contribution of pDA present in tHA. More importantly, tHA nanoparticles exposed on the surface of composite nanofibers could further promote osteogenesis of hMSCs in vitro even in the absence of osteogenesis soluble inducing factors when compared to traditional HA/PCL scaffolds, which was supported by in vivo test as well according to the histological analysis. Overall, our study demonstrated that the developed tHA/PCL composite nanofibers with enhanced cytocompatibility and osteogenic capacity hold great potential as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Adult stem cell research has been advanced in recent years because of the cells' attractive abilities of self-renewal and differentiation. Topography of materials is one of the key features that can be harnessed to regulate stem cell behaviors. Stem cells can interact with underlying material through nanosized integrin receptors. Therefore, the manipulation of topographical cues at a nanoscale level can be employed to modulate the cell fate. In this review, we focus our discussion on the different surface topographical cues, especially, with an emphasis on the viral nanoparticle-coated materials, and their effects on stem cell differentiation.

Combining mesenchymal stem cell sheets with platelet-rich plasma gel/calcium phosphate particles: a novel strategy to promote bone regeneration. Stem Cell Res Ther 2015; 6:256. [PMID: 26689714 PMCID: PMC4687276 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-015-0256-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2015] [Revised: 07/21/2015] [Accepted: 12/02/2015] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Promotion of bone regeneration is important for successful repair of bony defects. This study aimed to investigate whether combining bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) sheets with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel/calcium phosphate particles could promote bone formation in the femoral bone defects of rats. Methods The proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs or BMSC sheets cultured with calcium phosphate particles and/or PRP were investigated in in vitro. In vivo, 36 2.5 × 5 mm bone defects were randomly divided into groups and treated with either BMSCs/PRP gel, calcium phosphate particles, PRP gel/calcium phosphate particles, a BMSC sheet/calcium phosphate particles, a BMSC sheet/PRP gel/calcium phosphate particles, or were left untreated (n = 6/group). A further 15 bone defects were treated with chloromethyl-benzamidodialkylcarbocyanine (CM-Dil)-labelled BMSC sheet/PRP gel/calcium phosphate particles and observed using a small animal in vivo fluorescence imaging system to trace the implanted BMSCs at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after surgery. Results The expression of collagen type I and osteocalcin genes of BMSCs or BMSC sheets treated with PRP and calcium phosphate particles was significantly higher than that of BMSCs or BMSC sheets treated with calcium phosphate particles or the controls (P <0.05). PRP can promote gene expression of collagen III and tenomodulin by BMSCs and in BMSC sheets. The VEGF, collagen I and osteocalcin gene expression levels were higher in the BMSC sheet than in cultured BMSCs (P <0.05). Moreover, alizarin red staining quantification, ALP quantification and calcein blue fluorescence showed the osteogenic potential of BMSCs treated with PRP and calcium phosphate particles The implanted BMSCs were detectable at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after surgery by a small animal in vivo fluorescence imaging system and were visualized in the defect zones by confocal microscopy. At 4 weeks after implantation, the defects treated with the BMSC sheet/PRP gel/calcium phosphate particles showed significantly more bone formation than the other five groups. Conclusions Incorporation of an BMSC sheet into the PRP gel/calcium phosphate particles greatly promoted bone regeneration. These BMSC sheet and tissue engineering strategies offer therapeutic opportunities for promoting bone defect repair clinically.

Abstract
The construction of functional biomimetic scaffolds that recapitulate the topographical and biochemical features of bone tissue extracellular matrix is now of topical interest in bone tissue engineering. In this study, a novel surface-functionalized electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber scaffold with highly ordered structure was developed to simulate the critical features of native bone tissue via a single step of catechol chemistry. Specially, under slightly alkaline aqueous solution, polydopamine (pDA) was coated on the surface of aligned PCL nanofibers after electrospinning, followed by covalent immobilization of bone morphogenetic protein-7-derived peptides onto the pDA-coated nanofiber surface. Contact angle measurement, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of pDA and peptides on PCL nanofiber surface. Our results demonstrated that surface modification with osteoinductive peptides could improve cytocompatibility of nanofibers in terms of cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation. Most importantly, Alizarin Red S staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunostaining, and Western blot revealed that human mesenchymal stem cells cultured on aligned nanofibers with osteoinductive peptides exhibited enhanced osteogenic differentiation potential than cells on randomly oriented nanofibers. Furthermore, the aligned nanofibers with osteoinductive peptides could direct osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells even in the absence of osteoinducting factors, suggesting superior osteogenic efficacy of biomimetic design that combines the advantages of osteoinductive peptide signal and highly ordered nanofibers on cell fate decision. The presented peptide-decorated bone-mimic nanofiber scaffolds hold a promising potential in the context of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
There are few methodologies that allow manipulating a biomaterial surface at nanometer scale, which controllably influence different cellular functions. In this study, virus nanoparticles with different structural features are selected to prepare 2D substrates with defined nanoscale topographies and the cellular responses are investigated. It is demonstrated that the viral nanoparticle based substrates could accelerate and enhance osteogenesis of bone derived mesenchymal stem cells as indicated by the upregulation of osteogenic markers, including bone morphogenetic protein-2, osteocalcin, and osteopontin, at both gene and protein expression levels. Moreover, alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium mineralization, both indicators for a -successful bone formation, are also increased in cells grown on these nanoscale possessed substrates. These discoveries and developments present a new paradigm for nanoscale engineering of a biomaterial surface.

Abstract
Biomolecular nanostructures in nature are drawing increasing interests in the field of materials sciences. As a typical group of them, virus-based nanoparticles (VNPs), which are nanocages or nanorods assembled from capsid proteins of viruses, have been widely exploited as templates to guide the fabrication of complex nanoarchitectures (NAs), because of their appropriate sizes (ca. 20-200 nm), homogeneity, addressable functionalization, facile modification via chemical and genetic routes, and convenient preparation. Foreign materials can be positioned in the inner cavity or on the outer surface of VNPs, through either direct synthesis or assembling preformed nanomaterials. Simultaneous use of the inner and outer space of VNPs facilitates integration of multiple functionalities in a single NA. This review briefly summarizes the strategies for fabrication of NAs templated by VNPs and wide applications of these NAs in fields of catalysis, energy, biomedicine, and nanophotonics, etc.

Abstract
Taking advantage of the unique structure feature of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), we have anchored folic acid (FA) as targeting moiety on the rigid CMV capsid and loaded significant amount of doxorubicin (Dox) into the interior cavity of CMV through the formation of Dox-RNA conjugate to provide a nanosized control delivery system for cancer therapy. The FA-CMV-Dox assemblies were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and size exclusion chromatography, which disclose that they have comparable size and morphology to the native CMV particles. The Dox-loaded viral particles exhibit sustained in vitro Dox release profile over 5 days at physiological pH but can be liberated from the conjugates with the presence of elevated level of RNase. The in vitro effects of folate receptor (FR)-targeted CMV-Dox nanoconjugates on cellular internalization and cell proliferation were evaluated by live-cell imaging, MTT and TUNEL assay, respectively, in mouse cardiomyocytes and FR over expression OVCAR-3 tumor cells. The in vivo efficacy was also investigated in the OVCAR-3 BALB/c nude mouse xenograft model through histological alterations and TUNEL assessment. The FA-CMV-Dox particles significantly decrease the accumulation of Dox in the nuclei of mouse myocardial cells and improve the uptake of Dox in the ovarian cancer, leading to less cardiotoxicity and enhanced antitumor effect. We believe that CMV offers a new way to fabricate nanosized drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
In regenerative medicine, a synthetic extracellular matrix is crucial for supporting stem cells during its differentiation process to integrate into surrounding tissues. Hydrogels are used extensively in biomaterials as synthetic matrices to support the cells. However, to mimic the biological niche of a functional tissue, various chemical functionalities are necessary. We present here, a method of functionalizing a highly porous hydrogel with functional groups by mixing the hydrogel with a plant virus, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), and its mutant. The implication of this process resides with the three important features of TMV: its well-defined genetic/chemical modularity, its multivalency (TMV capsid is composed of 2130 copies of identical subunits), and its well-defined structural features. Previous studies utilizing the native TMV on two-dimensional supports accelerated mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, and surfaces modified with genetically modified viral particles further enhanced cell attachment and differentiation. Herein we demonstrate that functionalization of a porous alginate scaffold can be achieved by the addition of viral particles with minimal processing and downstream purifications, and the cell attachment and differentiation within the macroporous scaffold can be effectively manipulated by altering the peptide or small molecule displayed on the viral particles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The topography of an implant surface can serve as a powerful signaling cue for attached cells and can enhance the quality of osseointegration. A series of improved implant surfaces functionalized with nanoscale structures have been fabricated using various methods. METHODS In this study, using an H(2)O(2) process, we fabricated two size-controllable sawtooth-like nanostructures with different dimensions on a titanium surface. The effects of the two nano-sawtooth structures on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were evaluated without the addition of osteoinductive chemical factors. RESULTS These new surface modifications did not adversely affect cell viability, and rat BMMSCs demonstrated a greater increase in proliferation ability on the surfaces of the nano-sawtooth structures than on a control plate. Furthermore, upregulated expression of osteogenic-related genes and proteins indicated that the nano-sawtooth structures promote osteoblastic differentiation of rat BMMSCs. Importantly, the large nano-sawtooth structure resulted in the greatest cell responses, including increased adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. CONCLUSION The enhanced adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation abilities of rat BMMSCs on the nano-sawtooth structures suggest the potential to induce improvements in bone-titanium integration in vivo. Our study reveals the key role played by the nano-sawtooth structures on a titanium surface for the fate of rat BMMSCs and provides insights into the study of stem cell-nanostructure relationships and the related design of improved biomedical implant surfaces.

Abstract
Artificial implants are alternatives to autologous grafts in repairing severe bone damage and in many clinical applications, the artificial implant materials should be biodegradable in order to avoid chronic problems associated with biostable implants. In this study, a biodegradable biopolymer, poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu), is treated by N(2), NH(3) and H(2)O plasmas and investigated as bone replacement materials in vitro to obtain a better understanding of the behavior of osteoblasts on the different plasma-treated materials. N(2), NH(3), and H(2)O plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) produces dominant C-N, C═N, and C-O surface functional groups, respectively rendering the materials with hydrophilic characteristics which favor osteoblast adhesion and early proliferation. In particular, N-containing groups, especially C═N, are more positive to osteogenic differentiation of the seeded osteoblasts than C-O. Among the 3 plasma treatments, NH(3) PIII is the most effective, yielding surface properties that are suitable for artificial bone implants.

Abstract
Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is a stable 28 nm icosahedral plant virus that can be isolated in gram quantities. In order to study the polyvalent effect of Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) clustering on the response of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), an RGD motif was genetically displayed on the coat protein of the TYMV capsid. Composite films composed of either wild-type TYMV or TYMV-RGD44, in combination with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), were fabricated by a layer-by-layer adsorption of virus and PAH. The deposition process was studied by quartz crystal microbalance, UV-visible spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. BMSC adhesion assays showed enhanced cell adhesion and spreading on TYMV-RGD44 coated substrates compared to native TYMV. These results demonstrate the potential of TYMV as a viable scaffold for bioactive peptide display and cell culturing studies.

Abstract
Virus-like particles (VLPs) have been employed for a number of nanometric applications because they self-assemble, exhibit a high degree of symmetry, and can be genetically and chemically modified. However, high symmetry does not allow for a single unique modification site on the VLP. Here, we demonstrate the co-expression of the cytotoxic A2 protein and the coat protein of the bacteriophage Qβ to form a nearly monodispersed population of novel VLPs. Cell-free protein synthesis allows for direct access and optimization of protein-synthesis and VLP-assembly. The A2 is shown to be incorporated at high efficiency, approaching a theoretical maximum of one A2 per VLP. This work demonstrates de novo production of a novel VLP, which contains a unique site that has the potential for future nanometric engineering applications.
