Abstract
Biomaterials are defined as "engineered materials" and include a range of natural and synthetic products, designed for their introduction into and interaction with living tissues. Biomaterials are considered prominent tools in regenerative medicine that support the restoration of tissue defects and retain physiologic functionality. Although commonly used in the medical field, these constructs are inherently foreign toward the host and induce an immune response at the material-tissue interface, defined as the foreign body response (FBR). A strong connection between the foreign body response and tissue regeneration is suggested, in which an appropriate amount of immune response and macrophage polarization is necessary to trigger autologous tissue formation. Recent developments in this field have led to the characterization of immunomodulatory traits that optimizes bioactivity, the integration of biomaterials and determines the fate of tissue regeneration. This review addresses a variety of aspects that are involved in steering the inflammatory response, including immune cell interactions, physical characteristics, biochemical cues, and metabolomics. Harnessing the advancing knowledge of the FBR allows for the optimization of biomaterial-based implants, aiming to prevent damage of the implant, improve natural regeneration, and provide the tools for an efficient and successful in vivo implantation.

Nutrients 2024; 16:1681. [PMID: 38892614 PMCID: PMC11174795 DOI: 10.3390/nu16111681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Aging and its related disorders are important issues nowadays and the first cause of this physio-pathological condition is the overproduction of ROS. Ascorbic acid is an antioxidant mediator and its anti-aging proprieties are well known. Our previous data demonstrated that Voghera sweet pepper (VP), a distinctive type of pepper cultivated in Italy, is particularly rich in ascorbic acid. Based on these data, the anti-aging effect mediated by extracts of the edible part of VP was evaluated on an in vitro model of both young and old Normal Human Diploid Fibroblasts (NHDF). Using phase contrast microscopy, we observed that VP may help cells in the maintenance of physiological morphology during aging. Cytofluorimetric analyses revealed that VP extracts led to an increase in DNA synthesis and percentage of living cells, linked to a consequent increase in mitotic events. This hypothesis is supported by the enhancement of PCNA expression levels observed in old, treated fibroblasts, corroborating the idea that this extract could recover a young phenotype in adult fibroblasts, confirmed by the study of p16 and p53 expression levels and TEM analyses. Based on these results, we may suppose that VP can lead to the partial recovery of "young-like" phenotypes in old fibroblasts.

World J Clin Cases 2023; 11:6091-6104.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) in bladder carcinomas are poorly studied. AIM To describe the function, morphogenesis, and origin of mononuclear and MGCs in urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder in Bulgarian and French patients. METHODS Urothelial bladder carcinomas (n = 104) from 2016-2020 were analyzed retrospectively using immunohistochemical (IHC) and histochemical stain examination. Giant cells in the bladder stroma were found in 35.6% of cases, more often in high-grades. RESULTS We confirm that MGCs in the mucosa in UC of the bladder were positive for both mesenchymal and myofibroblast markers (vimentin, smooth muscle actin, Desmin, and CD34) and the macrophage marker CD68. Furthermore, IHC studies revealed the following profile of these cells: Positive for p16; negative for epithelial (CK AE1/AE3 and GATA-3), vascular (CD31), neural (PS100 and C-KIT), cambial, blastic (CD34-blasts and C-KIT), and immune markers (IG G, immunoglobulin G4, and PD-L1); no proliferative activity, possess no specific immune function, and cannot be used to calculate the Combined Positive Score scale. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the giant stromal cells in non-tumor and tumor bladder can be used as a characteristic and relatively constant, although nonspecific, histological marker for chronic bladder damage, reflecting the chronic irritation or inflammation. Likewise, according to the morphological and IHC of the mono- and multinucleated giant cells in the bladder, they are most likely represent telocytes capable of adapting their morphology to the pathology of the organ.

Abstract
Nanobubbles can enhance both the proliferation and metabolic activity of microorganisms (mainly bacteria) and the growth of the whole higher organisms such as mice, fish, or plants. The critical fact is that nanobubbles of different gases can affect given cells differently. As animal cell cultures are used in industry and research studies, investigations of their interactions with nanobubbles should be carried out. This study aims to uncover whether the presence of nanobubbles improves the proliferation rate and metabolic activity of L929 fibroblasts and HL60 leukemia cells as exemplary animal cell lines of adherent and non-adherent cells, respectively. The long-term (8-day) cultures of both L929 and HL-60 cells with nanobubble addition to the appropriate medium were carried out. The medium was not exchanged for the whole duration of the culture. Nanobubbles of two gases - oxygen and nitrogen - were dispersed in the appropriate media and then used to culture cells. The density and viability of cells were assessed microscopically while their metabolic activity was determined using PrestoBlue or XTT assays. Additionally, we have performed the analysis of substrate consumption rate during the growth and activity of lactate dehydrogenase. We have shown that nanodispersion of both gases enhances the proliferation rate and metabolic activity of L929. For HL-60 cultures, reference cultures exhibited better viability, cell density, and metabolic activity than those with either oxygen or nitrogen nanobubbles. Obtained results clearly show that nanobubble dispersions of both oxygen and nitrogen positively affect the cultures of L929 while inhibiting the growth of HL-60 cells. We suspect that a similar positive effect would be visible for other adherent cells, similar to L929. Such results are promising for intensifying the growth of animal or human cells in routine cell cultures.

Abstract
Coronary artery endothelial cells (CAEC) exert an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Dysfunction of CAEC is associated with cardiovascular disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, comprehensive studies of the effects that a diabetic environment exerts on this cellular type are scarce. The present study characterized the molecular perturbations occurring on cultured bovine CAEC subjected to a prolonged diabetic environment (high glucose and high insulin). Changes at the metabolite and peptide level were assessed by Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS2) and chemoinformatics. The results were integrated with published LC–MS2-based quantitative proteomics on the same in vitro model. Our findings were consistent with reports on other endothelial cell types and identified novel signatures of DNA/RNA, amino acid, peptide, and lipid metabolism in cells under a diabetic environment. Manual data inspection revealed disturbances on tryptophan catabolism and biosynthesis of phenylalanine-based, glutathione-based, and proline-based peptide metabolites. Fluorescence microscopy detected an increase in binucleation in cells under treatment that also occurred when human CAEC were used. This multi-omics study identified particular molecular perturbations in an induced diabetic environment that could help unravel the mechanisms underlying the development of cardiovascular disease in subjects with T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Determining reactive fibroplasia from primary neoplastic proliferation can be difficult using the cytologic features of spindle cells. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe qualitative features of benign reactive spindle cells and provide a diagnostic tool to distinguish between fibroplasia and soft tissue sarcoma. METHODS Cytologic samples from cutaneous lesions with histopathologically confirmed fibroplasia were reviewed and compared with cytologic samples from confirmed low-grade soft tissue sarcomas. The samples were obtained from the Archive of the Laboratorio Veterinario Bresciano (Brescia; Italy). RESULTS A total of 25 cytologic samples retrieved from the database fit the selection criteria. For comparison, 25 cytologic samples of histopathologically confirmed soft tissue sarcomas with secondary inflammation were obtained and reviewed from the same database. A low number of singularly distributed spindle cells with mild features of atypia and a high ratio of inflammatory to spindle cells was observed in confirmed cases of fibroplasia. CONCLUSIONS Low cellularity, individualized spindle cells, and an increased inflammatory-to-spindle cell ratio were more indicative of fibroplasia than sarcoma.

Abstract
Shrimp progressively gets more attention among marine invertebrates from researchers all over the world due to it being a healthy food as well as having economic importance. There were a lot of attempts to develop a continuous cell line from shrimp but none successful. In this context a novel hybrid cell line named 'PmLyO-Sf9' could be developed by fusing shrimp lymphoid organ cells with Sf9 cells after to metabolic blocking of Sf9 cells using puromycin and actinomycin D and effecting the fusion by way of PEG application. The cells are maintained and multiplied in a mixture of SCCM and TNM-FH having osmolality 550 mOsm kg-1 and pH 6.8. Transmission electron microscopy of the hybrid cells revealed the presence of two nuclei during the initial stages and a single nucleus subsequently. The cell line is with shrimp and Sf9 genomic components and shrimp specific protein and is susceptible to WSSV. Shrimp elongation factor, Sf9 beta-actin, shrimp STAT and peroxinectin could be expresses through RT-PCR in the cell line. This is the first successful report of a hybrid cell line with shrimp genomic components and envisaged to be recognized a model system for multitudes of biomedical research in vitro. The cell line is in the National Cell Line Repository of ICAR - National Bureaue of Fish Genetic Resources, Lucknow, India.

Abstract
H3K56 acetylation (H3K56Ac) was first identified in yeast and has recently been reported to play important roles in maintaining genomic stability, chromatin assembly, DNA replication, cell cycle progression and DNA repair. Although H3.1K56Ac has been relatively well studied, the function of H3.3K56Ac remains mostly unknown in mammals. In this study, we used H3.3K56Q and H3.3K56R mutants to study the possible function of H3.3K56 acetylation. The K-to-Q substitution mimics a constitutively acetylated lysine, while the K-to-R replacement mimics a constitutively unmodified lysine. We report that cell lines harbouring mutation of H3.3K56R exhibit increased cell death and dramatic morphology changes. Using a Tet-Off inducible system, we found an increased population of polyploid/aneuploid cells and decreased cell viability in H3.3K56R mutant cells. Consistent with these results, the H3.3K56R mutant had compromised H3.3 incorporation into several pericentric and centric heterochromatin regions we tested. Moreover, mass spectrometry analysis coupled with label-free quantification revealed that biological processes regulated by the H3.3-associating proteins, whose interaction with H3.3 was markedly increased by H3.3K56Q mutation but decreased by H3.3K56R mutation, include sister chromatid cohesion, mitotic nuclear division, and mitotic nuclear envelope disassembly. These results suggest that H3.3K56 acetylation is crucial for chromosome segregation and cell division in mammals.

Abstract
Depletion of yeast/fly Ataxin-2 rescues TDP-43 overexpression toxicity. In mouse models of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis via TDP-43 overexpression, depletion of its ortholog ATXN2 mitigated motor neuron degeneration and extended lifespan from 25 days to >300 days. There is another ortholog in mammals, named ATXN2L (Ataxin-2-like), which is almost uncharacterized but also functions in RNA surveillance at stress granules. We generated mice with Crispr/Cas9-mediated deletion of Atxn2l exons 5-8, studying homozygotes prenatally and heterozygotes during aging. Our novel findings indicate that ATXN2L absence triggers mid-gestational embryonic lethality, affecting female animals more strongly. Weight and development stages of homozygous mutants were reduced. Placenta phenotypes were not apparent, but brain histology showed lamination defects and apoptosis. Aged heterozygotes showed no locomotor deficits or weight loss over 12 months. Null mutants in vivo displayed compensatory efforts to maximize Atxn2l expression, which were prevented upon nutrient abundance in vitro. Mouse embryonal fibroblast cells revealed more multinucleated giant cells upon ATXN2L deficiency. In addition, in human neural cells, transcript levels of ATXN2L were induced upon starvation and glucose and amino acids exposure, but this induction was partially prevented by serum or low cholesterol administration. Neither ATXN2L depletion triggered dysregulation of ATXN2, nor a converse effect was observed. Overall, this essential role of ATXN2L for embryogenesis raises questions about its role in neurodegenerative diseases and neuroprotective therapies.

TRIM34 facilitates the formation of multinucleated giant cells by enhancing cell fusion and phagocytosis in epithelial cells. Exp Cell Res 2019; 384:111594.

Abstract
Persistent microbial infection promotes the fusion of several kinds of somatic cells, such as macrophages and endothelial cells, leading to the formation of multinucleated giant cells (MGCs). However, the molecular mechanisms of MGCs formation are still poorly understood. By laser confocal microscope, we discovered that TRIM34 increased the efficiency of cell fusion in Human Embryonic Kidney cells (HEK293T). By means of DiD cell membrane probes, LysoTracker Deep Red or MitoTracker Deep Red staining, we also demonstrated that TRIM34 stimulated cell fusion in paraformaldehyde fixed or living HEK293T cells. Moreover, we discovered that the nuclei shapes of MGCs induced by TRIM34 were diversiform, such as horseshoe shape, ring like shape etc. Through 3D reconstruction of confocal z-stacks images, we found that TRIM34-EGFP proteins could form macromolecule aggregates in the central area of MGCs, while the nuclei were arranged in ring like shape and distributed around the plasma membrane. Cell fusion assay showed that cocultured TRIM34-EGFP+ cells and TRIM34-DsRed1+ cells could fuse to form MGCs. We speculate that the formation of MGCs can be divided into two phase: primary multinucleated cells (PMCs) and secondary multinucleated cells (SMCs). Firstly, TRIM34 induced fusion of multiple adjacent cells resulting in PMCs formation, and then PMCs were endowed with the capacity of phagocytosis and turned into SMCs. Collectively, these results suggest that TRIM34 proteins contribute to the formation of MGCs by promoting cell fusion and phagocytosis in epithelial cells.

In vivo, macrophages and fibroblasts navigate through and remodel the three-dimensional (3D) extra-cellular matrix (ECM). The orientation of fibers, the porosity, and degree of cross-linking can change the interconnectivity of the ECM and affect cell migration. In turn, migrating cells can alter their microenvironment. To study the relationships between ECM interconnectivity and migration of cells, we assembled collagen hydrogels with dense (DCN) or with loosely interconnected networks (LCN). We find that in DCNs, RAW 264.7 macrophages in monocultures were virtually stationary. In DCN co-cultures, Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts created tunnels that provided conduits for macrophage migration. In LCNs, fibroblasts aligned fibers up to a distance of 100 μm, which provided tracks for macrophages. Intra-cellular and extra-cellular fluorescent fragments of internalized and degraded collagen were detected inside both cell types as well as around their cell peripheries. Macrophages expressed higher levels of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor associated protein (uPARAP)/mannose receptor 1 (CD206) compared to α2β1 indicating that collagen internalization in these cells occurred primarily via integrin-independent mechanisms. Network remodeling indicated by higher Young's modulus was observed in fibroblast monocultures as a result of TGF-β secretion. This work unveils new roles for fibroblasts in forming tunnels in networked ECM to modulate macrophage migration.

Abstract
Although there is a strong correlation between multinucleated cells (MNCs) and cancer chemo-resistance in variety of cancers, our understanding of how multinucleated cells modulate the tumor micro-environment is limited. We captured multinucleated cells from triple-negative chemo-resistant breast cancers cells in a time frame, where they do not proliferate but rather significantly regulate their micro-environment. We show that oxidatively stressed MNCs induce chemo-resistance in vitro and in vivo by secreting VEGF and MIF. These factors act through the RAS/MAPK pathway to induce chemo-resistance by upregulating anti-apoptotic proteins. In MNCs, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) stabilizes HIF-1α contributing to increase production of VEGF and MIF. Together the data indicate, that the ROS-HIF-1α signaling axis is very crucial in regulation of chemo-resistance by MNCs. Targeting ROS-HIF-1α in future may help to abrogate drug resistance in breast cancer.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a silent, progressive disease with a high mortality and an increasing prevalence with aging. Smooth muscle cell (SMC) dysfunction contributes to gradual dilatation and eventual rupture of the aorta. Here we studied phenotypic characteristics in SMC cultured from end-stage human AAA (≥5 cm) and cells cultured from a porcine carotid artery (PCA) model of early and end-stage aneurysm. Human AAA-SMC presented a secretory phenotype and expressed elevated levels of the differentiation marker miR-145 (2.2-fold, p < 0.001) and the senescence marker SIRT-1 (1.3-fold, p < 0.05), features not recapitulated in aneurysmal PCA-SMC. Human and end-stage porcine aneurysmal cells were frequently multi-nucleated (3.9-fold, p < 0.001, and 1.8-fold, p < 0.01, respectively, vs. control cells) and displayed an aberrant nuclear morphology. Human AAA-SMC exhibited higher levels of the DNA damage marker γH2AX (3.9-fold, p < 0.01, vs. control SMC). These features did not correlate with patients' chronological age and are therefore potential markers for pathological premature vascular aging. Early-stage PCA-SMC (control and aneurysmal) were indistinguishable from one another across all parameters. The principal limitation of human studies is tissue availability only at the end stage of the disease. Refinement of a porcine bioreactor model would facilitate the study of temporal modulation of SMC behaviour during aneurysm development and potentially identify therapeutic targets to limit AAA progression.

Abstract
The events within the foreign body response are similar to, but ultimately different than, the wound healing cascade. Collagen production by fibroblasts is known to play a vital role in wound healing and device fibrous encapsulation. However, the influence of surface nanotopography on collagen deposition by these cells has not been reported so far. To address this gap, we have developed model substrata having surface nanotopography of controlled height of 16, 38, and 68 nm and tailored outermost surface chemistry of amines, carboxyl acid, and pure hydrocarbon. Fibroblast adhesion was reduced on nanotopographically modified surfaces compared to the smooth control. Furthermore, amine and acid functionalized surfaces showed increased cell proliferation over hydrophobic hydrocarbon surfaces. Collagen III production increased from day 3 to day 8 and then decreased from day 8 to day 16 on all surfaces, while collagen I deposition increased throughout the duration of 16 days. Our data show that the initial collagen I and III deposition can be modulated by selecting desired combinations of surface nanotopography and chemistry. This study provides useful knowledge that could help in tuning fibrous capsule formation and in turn govern the fate of implantable biomaterial devices.

Abstract
The present study tests the hypothesis that transient, early-stage shifts in macrophage polarization at the tissue-implant interface from a pro-inflammatory (M1) to an anti-inflammatory/regulatory (M2) phenotype mitigates the host inflammatory reaction against a non-degradable polypropylene mesh material and improves implant integration downstream. To address this hypothesis, a nanometer-thickness coating capable of releasing IL-4 (an M2 polarizing cytokine) from an implant surface at early stages of the host response has been developed. Results of XPS, ATR-FTIR and Alcian blue staining confirmed the presence of a uniform, conformal coating consisting of chitosan and dermatan sulfate. Immunolabeling showed uniform loading of IL-4 throughout the surface of the implant. ELISA assays revealed that the amount and release time of IL-4 from coated implants were tunable based upon the number of coating bilayers and that release followed a power law dependence profile. In-vitro macrophage culture assays showed that implants coated with IL-4 promoted polarization to an M2 phenotype, demonstrating maintenance of IL-4 bioactivity following processing and sterilization. Finally, in-vivo studies showed that mice with IL-4 coated implants had increased percentages of M2 macrophages and decreased percentages of M1 macrophages at the tissue-implant interface during early stages of the host response. These changes were correlated with diminished formation of fibrotic capsule surrounding the implant and improved tissue integration downstream. The results of this study demonstrate a versatile cytokine delivery system for shifting early-stage macrophage polarization at the tissue-implant interface of a non-degradable material and suggest that modulation of the innate immune reaction at early stages of the host response may represent a preferred strategy for promoting biomaterial integration and success.

Abstract
Cell-cell fusion is fundamental to a multitude of biological processes ranging from cell differentiation and embryogenesis to cancer metastasis and biomaterial-tissue interactions. Fusogenic cells are exposed to biochemical and biophysical factors, which could potentially alter cell behavior. While biochemical inducers of fusion such as cytokines and kinases have been identified, little is known about the biophysical regulation of cell-cell fusion. Here, we designed experiments to examine cell-cell fusion using bulk metallic glass (BMG) nanorod arrays with varying biophysical cues, i.e. nanotopography and stiffness. Through independent variation of stiffness and topography, we found that nanotopography constitutes the primary biophysical cue that can override biochemical signals to attenuate fusion. Specifically, nanotopography restricts cytoskeletal remodeling-associated signaling, which leads to reduced fusion. This finding expands our fundamental understanding of the nanoscale biophysical regulation of cell fusion and can be exploited in biomaterials design to induce desirable biomaterial-tissue interactions.

Abstract
Surface modification has been identified as an important technique that could improve the response of the body to implanted medical devices. Collagen production by fibroblasts is known to play a vital role in wound healing and device fibrous encapsulation. However, how surface chemistry affects collagen I and III deposition by these cells has not been systematically studied. Here, we report how surface chemistry influences the deposition of collagen I and III by primary human dermal fibroblasts. Amine (NH3), carboxyl acid (COOH), and hydrocarbon (CH3) surfaces were generated by plasma deposition. This is a practically relevant tool to deposit a functional coating on any type of substrate material. We show that fibroblasts adhere better and proliferate faster on amine-rich surfaces. In addition, the initial collagen I and III production is greater on this type of coating. These data indicates that surface modification can be a promising route for modulating the rate and level of fibrous encapsulation and may be useful in informing the design of implantable biomedical devices to produce more predictable clinical outcomes.

Abstract
In this work, we characterize integrin CD11c (αXß2) expression in periprosthetic tissues of 45 hip revisions. Tissues were retrieved from 23 ceramic-on-ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), 20 metal-on-UHMWPE, and 2 metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasties (THAs). Capsular tissue retrieved during primary THA from 19 patients served as controls. We identified a system to identify important immunohistochemical markers that are expressed in aseptic loosening. We focused on CD11c, CD68 and CD14. We observed that the CD11c molecule possesses four different cellular patterns in the periprosthetic tissues. Three of them are associated with the occurrence of UHMWPE abrasive material. Double staining with CD14 and CD68 was used for a more detailed analysis of the CD11c expressing cells. We observed that all forms of CD11c positive cells are CD68 positive however, only two forms of CD11c expressing cells are positive for CD14. Providing cellular diversity of CD11c expression in periprosthetic tissue, our results provide a contribution toward the further understanding of different cellular mechanisms to foreign body material.

Abstract
Metformin, a popular drug used to treat diabetes, has recently gained attention as a potentially useful therapeutic agent for treating cancer. In our research metformin was added to in vitro cultures of bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) and Balb/3T3 fibroblast at concentration of 1 mM, 5 mM, and 10 mM. Obtained results indicated that metformin negatively affected proliferation activity of investigated cells. The drug triggered the formation of autophagosomes and apoptotic bodies in all tested cultures. Additionally, we focused on determination of expression of genes involved in insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) signaling pathway. The most striking finding was that the mRNA level of IGF2 was constant in both BMSCs and Balb/3T3. Further, the analysis of IGF2 concentration in cell supernatants showed that it decreased in BMSC cultures after 5 and 10 mM metformin treatments. In case of Balb/3T3 the concentration of IGF2 in culture supernatants decreased after 1 and 5 mM and increased after 10 mM of metformin. Our results suggest that metformin influences the cytophysiology of somatic cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner causing inhibition of proliferation and abnormalities of their morphology and ultrastructure.

Abstract
Abstract
The influences of NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) – non-selective metamizole and selectively-acting tolfenamic acid were estimated on morphology, ultrastructure, and cytophysiological activity of canine (Ca) and equine (Eq) adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). The lowest concentration of metamizole (0.01 mg/mL) stimulated the viability and cytophysiological activity of Ca ASCs and did not affect cell morphology. Stimulated cells possessed a proper, fibroblastic shape, with large, eccentrically located nuclei. Similar effects to those observed in Ca ASCs were found in Eq cells treated with both drugs. Cells cultivated with the intermediate (0.1 mg/mL) doses of NSAIDs displayed proper cell morphology, whereas cells cultivated in intermediate dose (0.1 mg/mL) became more flattened. The highest concentrations (1 mg/mL) of both drugs resulted in a cytotoxic effect in Ca and Eq ASCs. Based on these results, we conclude that stimulation of Ca and Eq ASCs with metamizole as well as Eq ASCs with tolfenamic acid can lead to positive effects only when the lowest drug concentrations are applied. This study indicates a different cellular response of canine and equine ASCs treated with metamizole and tolfenamic acid. The obtained data might be potentially useful in the study of functionalized veterinary biomaterials.

Abstract
Inflammatory responses to biomaterials heavily influence the environment surrounding implanted devices, often producing foreign-body reactions. The macrophage is a key immunomodulatory cell type consistently associated with implanted biomaterials and routinely used in short-term in vitro cell studies of biomaterials aiming to reproduce host responses. Inconsistencies within these studies, including differently sourced cells, different durations of culture, and assessment of different activation markers, lead to many conflicting results in vitro that confound consistency and conclusions. We hypothesize that different experimentally popular monocyte-macrophage cell types have intrinsic in vitro culture-specific differences that yield conflicting results. Recent studies demonstrate changes in cultured macrophage cytokine expression over time, leading to the hypothesis that changes in macrophage phenotype also occur in response to extended culture. Here, macrophage cells of different transformed and primary-derived origins were cultured for 21 days on model polymer biomaterials. Cell type-based differences in morphology and cytokine/chemokine expression as well as changes in cell surface biomarkers associated with differentiation stage, activation state, and adhesion were compared. Results reflect consistent macrophage development toward an M2 phenotype via up-regulation of the macrophage mannose receptor for all cell types following 21-day extended culture. Significantly, implanted biomaterials experiencing the foreign-body response and encapsulation in vivo often elicit a shift toward an analogous M2 macrophage phenotype. In vitro "default" of macrophage cultures, regardless of lineage, to this M2 state in the presence of biomaterials at long culture periods is not recognized, but has important implications to in vitro modeling of in vivo host response.

Giant cell fibroma (GCF) is a rare case with unique histopathology. It belongs to the broad category of fibrous hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity. It is often mistaken with fibroma and papilloma due to its clinical resemblance. Only its peculiar histopathological features help us to distinguish it from them. The origin of the giant cell is still controversial. Data available is very sparse to predict the exact behavior. Hence, we report a case of GCF of tongue in a 19-year-old male. Special emphasis is given to understand the basic process of development of the lesion, nature of giant cells, and also the need for formation of these peculiar cells. Briefly, the differential diagnosis for GCF is tabulated.

Abstract
Nanowires are commonly used as tools for interfacing living cells, acting as biomolecule-delivery vectors or electrodes. It is generally assumed that the small size of the nanowires ensures a minimal cellular perturbation, yet the effects of nanowires on cell migration and proliferation remain largely unknown. Fibroblast behaviour on vertical nanowire arrays is investigated, and it is shown that cell motility and proliferation rate are reduced on nanowires. Fibroblasts cultured on long nanowires exhibit failed cell division, DNA damage, increased ROS content and respiration. Using focused ion beam milling and scanning electron microscopy, highly curved but intact nuclear membranes are observed, showing no direct contact between the nanowires and the DNA. The nanowires possibly induce cellular stress and high respiration rates, which trigger the formation of ROS, which in turn results in DNA damage. These results are important guidelines to the design and interpretation of experiments involving nanowire-based transfection and electrical characterization of living cells.

Abstract
Pregnancy is dependent on maternal-fetal tolerance that may be compromised because of infections or inflammation of the placenta. In this study, we examined whether the context of placental immune tolerance affected the functions of resident macrophages and if their functions were altered during chorioamnionitis, an infectious pathology of the placenta. Macrophages from at-term placentas expressed CD14, exhibited macrophage microbicidal functions, but were less inflammatory than monocyte-derived macrophages. Moreover, placental macrophages spontaneously matured into multinucleated giant cells (MGCs), a property not exhibited by monocyte-derived macrophages, and we detected MGCs of myeloid origin in placental tissue. Compared with placental macrophages, MGCs exhibited a specific phenotype and gene expression signature, consisting of increased cytoskeleton-associated gene expression along with depressed expression of inflammatory response genes. Furthermore, placental macrophages from patients with chorioamnionitis were unable to form MGCs, but this defect was partially corrected by incubating these placental macrophages with control trophoblast supernatants. MGCs formation likely serves to regulate their inflammatory and cytocidal activities in a context that imposes semiallograft acceptance and defense against pathogens.

Abstract
Implants are predisposed to infection even years after implantation, despite ostensibly being surrounded by innumerable macrophages as part of the host foreign body response. The local implant environment could adversely influence the implant-associated macrophage phenotype, proliferative capacity, activation states, and ability to neutralize pathogens. This study monitored cultured macrophage proliferative states and phagocytotic competence on tissue culture plastic to address the hypothesis that extended contact with foreign materials alters macrophage phenotype. That such macrophage alterations might also occur around implants has significance to the foreign body response, infection, cancer, autoimmune and other diseases. Specifically, multiple indicators of macrophage proliferation in various culture conditions, including cell confluence, long-term culture (21 days), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, passaging, and mitogenic stimulation are reported. Importantly, primary murine macrophages became quiescent at high confluence and senescent during long-term culture. Senescent macrophages significantly reduced their ability to phagocytose particles, while quiescent macrophages did not. Cell senescence and quiescence were not observed with repeated passaging. Primary macrophage stimulation with LPS delayed senescence but did not eliminate it. These results prompt the conclusion that both cell quiescence and senescence are observed under common macrophage culture conditions and could alter macrophage behavior and phenotypes in extended in vitro culture, such as the ability to phagocytose. Such macrophage transitions around foreign bodies in vivo are not documented: quiescence and senescence reported here in macrophage culture could be relevant to macrophage behavior both in vitro in bioassays and in vivo in the foreign body response and implant-centered infection.
