Romanowicz GE, Zhang L, Bolger MW, Lynch M, Kohn DH. Beyond bone volume: Understanding tissue-level quality in healing of maxillary vs. femoral defects. Acta Biomater 2024:S1742-7061(24)00486-0. [PMID: 39214162 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.08.042] [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: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Currently, principles of tissue engineering and implantology are uniformly applied to all bone sites, disregarding inherent differences in collagen, mineral composition, and healing rates between craniofacial and long bones. These differences could potentially influence bone quality during the healing process. Evaluating bone quality during healing is crucial for understanding local mechanical properties in regeneration and implant osseointegration. However, site-specific changes in bone quality during healing remain poorly understood. In this study, we assessed newly formed bone quality in sub-critical defects in the maxilla and femur, while impairing collagen cross-linking using β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN). Our findings revealed that femoral healing bone exhibited a 73 % increase in bone volume but showed significantly greater viscoelastic and collagen changes compared to surrounding bone, leading to increased deformation during long-term loading and poorer bone quality in early healing. In contrast, the healing maxilla maintained equivalent hardness and viscoelastic constants compared to surrounding bone, with minimal new bone formation and consistent bone quality. However, BAPN-impaired collagen cross-linking induced viscoelastic changes in the healing maxilla, with no further changes observed in the femur. These results challenge the conventional belief that increased bone volume correlates with enhanced tissue-level bone quality, providing crucial insights for tissue engineering and site-specific implant strategies. The observed differences in bone quality between sites underscore the need for a nuanced approach in assessing the success of regeneration and implant designs and emphasize the importance of exploring site-specific tissue engineering interventions. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Accurate measurement of bone quality is crucial for tissue engineering and implant therapies. Bone quality varies between craniofacial and long bones, yet it's often overlooked in the healing process. Our study is the first to comprehensively analyze bone quality during healing in both the maxilla and femur. Surprisingly, despite significant volume increase, femur healing bone had poorer quality compared to the surrounding bone. Conversely, maxilla healing bone maintained consistent quality despite minimal bone formation. Impaired collagen diminished maxillary healing bone quality, but had no further effect on femur bone quality. These findings challenge the notion that more bone volume equals better quality, offering insights for improving tissue engineering and implant strategies for different bone sites.

Cells 2024; 13:1090.

Abstract
Gingival fibroblasts (GFs) can differentiate into osteoblast-like cells and induce osteoclast precursors to differentiate into osteoclasts. As it is unclear whether these two processes influence each other, we investigated how osteogenic differentiation of GFs affects their osteoclast-inducing capacity. To establish step-wise mineralization, GFs were cultured in four groups for 3 weeks, without or with osteogenic medium for the final 1, 2, or all 3 weeks. The mineralization was assessed by ALP activity, calcium concentration, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Alizarin Red staining, and quantitative PCR (qPCR). To induce osteoclast differentiation, these cultures were then co-cultured for a further 3 weeks with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) containing osteoclast precursors. Osteoclast formation was assessed at different timepoints with qPCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), TRAcP activity, and staining. ALP activity and calcium concentration increased significantly over time. As confirmed with the Alizarin Red staining, SEM images showed that the mineralization process occurred over time. Osteoclast numbers decreased in the GF cultures that had undergone osteogenesis. TNF-α secretion, a costimulatory molecule for osteoclast differentiation, was highest in the control group. GFs can differentiate into osteoblast-like cells and their degree of differentiation reduces their osteoclast-inducing capacity, indicating that, with appropriate stimulation, GFs could be used in regenerative periodontal treatments.

Abstract
In 1892, J.L. Wolff proposed that bone could respond to mechanical and biophysical stimuli as a dynamic organ. This theory presents a unique opportunity for investigations on bone and its potential to aid in tissue repair. Routine activities such as exercise or machinery application can exert mechanical loads on bone. Previous research has demonstrated that mechanical loading can affect the differentiation and development of mesenchymal tissue. However, the extent to which mechanical stimulation can help repair or generate bone tissue and the related mechanisms remain unclear. Four key cell types in bone tissue, including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, bone lining cells, and osteocytes, play critical roles in responding to mechanical stimuli, while other cell lineages such as myocytes, platelets, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and chondrocytes also exhibit mechanosensitivity. Mechanical loading can regulate the biological functions of bone tissue through the mechanosensor of bone cells intraosseously, making it a potential target for fracture healing and bone regeneration. This review aims to clarify these issues and explain bone remodeling, structure dynamics, and mechano-transduction processes in response to mechanical loading. Loading of different magnitudes, frequencies, and types, such as dynamic versus static loads, are analyzed to determine the effects of mechanical stimulation on bone tissue structure and cellular function. Finally, the importance of vascularization in nutrient supply for bone healing and regeneration was further discussed.

Abstract
Bone remodeling consists of resorption by osteoclasts (OCs) and formation by osteoblasts (OBs). Precise coordination of these activities is required for the resorbed bone to be replaced with an equal amount of new bone in order to maintain skeletal mass throughout the lifespan. This coordination of remodeling processes is referred to as the "coupling" of resorption to bone formation. In this review, we discuss the essential role for OCs in coupling resorption to bone formation, mechanisms for this coupling, and how coupling becomes less efficient or disrupted in conditions of bone loss. Lastly, we provide perspectives on targeting coupling to treat human bone disease.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is a lifelong process that gives rise to a mature, dynamic bone structure via a balance between bone formation by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts. These opposite processes allow the accommodation of bones to dynamic mechanical forces, altering bone mass in response to changing conditions. Mechanical forces are indispensable for bone homeostasis; skeletal formation, resorption, and adaptation are dependent on mechanical signals, and loss of mechanical stimulation can therefore significantly weaken the bone structure, causing disuse osteoporosis and increasing the risk of fracture. The exact mechanisms by which the body senses and transduces mechanical forces to regulate bone remodeling have long been an active area of study among researchers and clinicians. Such research will lead to a deeper understanding of bone disorders and identify new strategies for skeletal rejuvenation. Here, we will discuss the mechanical properties, mechanosensitive cell populations, and mechanotransducive signaling pathways of the skeletal system.

Abstract
Conventional biomaterials developed for bone regeneration fail to fully recapitulate the nanoscale structural organization and complex composition of the native bone microenvironment. Therefore, despite promoting osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, they fall short of providing the structural, biochemical, and mechanical stimuli necessary to drive osteogenesis for bone regeneration and function. To address this, we have recently developed a novel strategy to engineer bone-like tissue using a biomimetic approach to achieve rapid and controlled nanoscale mineralization of a cell-laden matrix in the presence of osteopontin, a non-collagenous protein, and a supersaturated solution of calcium and phosphate medium. Here, we build on this approach to engineer bone regeneration scaffolds comprising methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogels incorporated with calcium citrate core-shell microparticles as a sustained and reliable source of calcium ions for in situ mineralization. We demonstrate successful biomineralization of GelMA hydrogels by embedded calcium carbonate-calcium citrate core-shell microparticles with the resultant mineral chemistry, structure, and organization reminiscent of that of native bone. The biomimetic mineralization was further shown to promote osteogenic differentiation of encapsulated human mesenchymal stem cells even in the absence of other exogenous osteogenic induction factors. Ultimately, by combining the superior biological response engendered by biomimetic mineralization with the intrinsic tissue engineering advantages offered by GelMA, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and printability, we envision that our system offers great potential for bone regeneration efforts.

Toxic Effects of Indoxyl Sulfate on Osteoclastogenesis and Osteoblastogenesis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222011265.

Abstract
Uremic toxins, such as indoxyl sulfate (IS) and kynurenine, accumulate in the blood in the event of kidney failure and contribute to further bone damage. To maintain the homeostasis of the skeletal system, bone remodeling is a persistent process of bone formation and bone resorption that depends on a dynamic balance of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that regulates the toxic effects of uremic toxins. IS is an endogenous AhR ligand and is metabolized from tryptophan. In osteoclastogenesis, IS affects the expression of the osteoclast precursor nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) through AhR signaling. It is possible to increase osteoclast differentiation with short-term and low-dose IS exposure and to decrease differentiation with long-term and/or high-dose IS exposure. Coincidentally, during osteoblastogenesis, through the AhR signaling pathway, IS inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK, and p38 reduces the expression of the transcription factor 2 (Runx2), disturbing osteoblastogenesis. The AhR antagonist resveratrol has a protective effect on the IS/AhR pathway. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the multifaceted role of AhR in CKD, as knowledge of these transcription signals could provide a safe and effective method to prevent and treat CKD mineral bone disease.

Abstract
Skeleton metabolism is a process in which osteoclasts constantly remove old bone and osteoblasts form new osteoid and induce mineralization; disruption of this balance may cause diseases. Osteoclasts play a key role in bone metabolism, as osteoclastogenesis marks the beginning of each bone remodeling cycle. As the only cell capable of bone resorption, osteoclasts are derived from the monocyte/macrophage hematopoietic precursors that terminally adhere to mineralized extracellular matrix, and they subsequently break down the extracellular compartment. Bone is generally considered the load-burdening tissue, bone homeostasis is critically affected by mechanical conductions, and the bone cells are mechanosensitive. The functions of various bone cells under mechanical forces such as chondrocytes and osteoblasts have been reported; however, the unique bone-resorbing osteoclasts are less studied. The oversuppression of osteoclasts in mechanical studies may be because of its complicated differentiation progress and flexible structure, which increases difficulty in targeting mechanical structures. This paper will focus on recent findings regarding osteoclasts and attempt to uncover proposed candidate mechanosensing structures in osteoclasts including podosome-associated complexes, gap junctions and transient receptor potential family (ion channels). We will additionally describe possible mechanotransduction signaling pathways including GTPase ras homologue family member A (RhoA), Yes-associated protein/transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), Ca2+ signaling and non-canonical Wnt signaling. According to numerous studies, evaluating the possible influence of various physical environments on osteoclastogenesis is conducive to the study of bone homeostasis.

Abstract
![]()
Biomimetic modification
of hydroxyapatite on a polymer surface
is a potent strategy for activating biological functions in bone tissue
engineering applications. However, the polymer surface is bioinert,
and it is difficult to introduce a uniform calcium phosphate (CaP)
layer. To overcome this limitation, we constructed a specific nano-topographical
structure onto a poly(ε-caprolactone) substrate via surface-directed
epitaxial crystallization. Formation of the CaP layer on the nano-topological
surface was enhanced by 2.34-fold compared to that on a smooth surface.
This effect was attributed to the abundant crystallization sites for
CaP deposition because of the increased surface area and roughness.
Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) were used to examine
the biological effect of biomineralized surfaces. We clearly demonstrated
that BMSCs responded to surface biomineralization. Osteogenic differentiation
and proliferation of BMSCs were significantly promoted on the biomineralized
nano-topological surface. The expression of alkaline phosphatase and
osteogenic-related genes as well as extracellular matrix mineralization
was significantly enhanced. The proposed strategy shows potential
for designing bone repair scaffolds.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of fluid shear stress (FSS) on cell proliferation and expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in MG-63 cells on different modified titanium surfaces. MG63 cells were cultured on three different surfaces: glass slide, polished treatment (PT) titanium surface and sandblasted/acid-etched surfaces (SLA) titanium surface. The surface topography and roughness were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The cells were subjected to FSS, and the cell appearance before and after the stress was evaluated. MTT assay was applied to estimate cell proliferation. The mRNA and protein levels of FAK were determined by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Titanium plates demonstrated different surface microtopography. Parameter Ra values of SLA group were around 3.4 µm, which was higher than PT group. Exposure to the FSS of 12 dynes/cm2 significantly induced positive upregulation of cellular proliferation and the expression of FAK, which were directly correlated with the duration of exposure and surface. Cells in SLA group were able to endurance the longtime of FSS, especially under the FSS of 16 dynes/cm2. SLA surface had a positive influence on the expression of FAK. Different surface modifications created different microtopography of titanium plates. Cell proliferation and the mRNA and protein expression of FAK were stimulated by FSS and regulated by a marked synergistic effect of surface topography and the level and duration of FSS.

Abstract
Bone-tissue defects affect millions of people worldwide. Despite being common treatment approaches, autologous and allogeneic bone grafting have not achieved the ideal therapeutic effect. This has prompted researchers to explore novel bone-regeneration methods. In recent decades, the development of bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds has been leading the forefront of this field. As researchers have provided deep insights into bone physiology and the bone-healing mechanism, various biomimicking and bioinspired BTE scaffolds have been reported. Now it is necessary to review the progress of natural bone physiology and bone healing mechanism, which will provide more valuable enlightenments for researchers in this field. This work details the physiological microenvironment of the natural bone tissue, bone-healing process, and various biomolecules involved therein. Next, according to the bone physiological microenvironment and the delivery of bioactive factors based on the bone-healing mechanism, it elaborates the biomimetic design of a scaffold, highlighting the designing of BTE scaffolds according to bone biology and providing the rationale for designing next-generation BTE scaffolds that conform to natural bone healing and regeneration.

Abstract
As a newly discovered mechanosensitive ion channel protein, the piezo1 protein participates in the transmission of mechanical signals on the cell membrane and plays a vital role in mammalian biomechanics. Piezo1 has attracted widespread attention since it was discovered in 2010. In recent years, studies on piezo1 have gradually increased and deepened. In addition to the discovery that piezo1 is expressed in the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems, it is also stably expressed in cells such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, osteoclasts, chondrocytes, and nucleus pulposus cells that constitute vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs. They can all receive external mechanical stimulation through the piezo1 protein channel to affect cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis to promote the occurrence and development of lumbar degenerative diseases. Through reviewing the relevant literature of piezo1 in the abovementioned cells, this paper discusses the effect of piezo1 protein expression under mechanical stress stimuli on spinal degenerative disease, providing the molecular basis for the pathological mechanism of spinal degenerative disease and also a new basis, ideas, and methods for the prevention and treatment of this degenerative disease.

Abstract
An ideal barrier membrane design should incorporate the function of a delivery vehicle for transporting drugs and osteoinductive factors to where the body is under inflammation. In the present study, a functional hydrogel-based barrier membrane is fabricated using calcium-form poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) and glycerol blending into gellan gum. The concentration of the calcium-form poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) and the glycerol ratio are studied for improving practicability in easy-handling and expanding the coverage area. Gellan gum-based membranes with uniformly distributed calcium aggregates are not only successfully manufactured but also providing excellent characteristics for protein adsorption, bioactivity, and bone cell maturation. Our composite gellan gum-based membranes were tested including to their morphology, mechanical properties, swelling behavior, protein adsorption, drug diffusion, and lysozyme degradation. The biocompatibility, proliferation, and osteoblastic response of membranes were examined by osteoblast-like (MG63) cells. Our results indicate that adequate physical cross-linking with γ-PGA improves the original mechanical properties and delays degradation. Growing glycerol ratio not only enhances the elongation at break and diffusion rate, but it also changes the tensile strength and the remaining weight. In vitro biocompatibility tests, an adequate ratio of γ-PGA modification significantly enhances the proliferation, the secretion of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and mineralization. However, worth noting is the glycerol-modified membrane cannot bear a close resemblance with the non-glycerol group in the high level of osteoblastic response. In general, these tunable materials with biocompatibility, biodegradability, and positive osteoblastic responses were poised to be possible candidates for bone defect repair.

Cytoprotective effect of Fufang Lurong Jiangu capsule against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in bone marrow stromal cell-derived osteoblasts through the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Biomed Pharmacother 2019; 121:109676. [PMID: 31810119 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2019.109676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2019] [Revised: 11/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/13/2019] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress is increasingly recognized as a risk factor associated with the development and progression of osteoporosis. Fufang Lurong Jiangu Capsule (FLJC) has a known anti-osteoporotic effect, but its pharmacological effect on osteoblasts is not clearly understood. This study was designed to investigate FLJC effects/mechanisms on in vitro hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage of osteoblasts and on in vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mice bone loss. FLJC alleviates osteoporosis via unknown pharmacological mechanisms. METHODS Chemical compositions of FLJC preparations were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprinting. After rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation induction, resulting osteoblasts received various 48 h FLJC pretreatments before H2O2-based (200 μM) oxidative stress exposure. FLJC effects were measured on osteoblast cell viability, morphological changes, levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), localization of mitochondria, activity of antioxidant enzymes, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and mineralization, the secretion of Col I and expression of osteogenic markers. The percentages of apoptosis were determined by flow cytometric analysis; apoptosis-related protein levels, including nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) with or without Nrf2 inhibitor were analyzed via western blot. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and ALP staining revealed in vivo FLJC effect on mice LPS-induced bone loss. RESULTS Five chemical components in FLJC were identified, and fingerprint analysis showed good reproducibility. FLJC pretreatment significantly reduced H2O2-induced ROS levels in osteoblasts and increased antioxidant enzyme activities to reduce oxidative damage. With regard to osteoblast differentiation, FLJC pretreatment increased ALP expression, as well as levels of mineralization and osteoblast markers. Additionally, FLJC protected against H2O2-induced apoptosis by inhibiting changes in expression of major Bcl-2 family effector proteins of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Furthermore, FLJC protected cells from H2O2-induced oxidative damage by up-regulating Nrf2 and HO-1 protein levels. Finally, we confirmed that FLJC administration could reverse the bone loss in LPS-induced mice. CONCLUSION These results indicate that FLJC may significantly attenuate oxidative damage of osteoblasts induced by H2O2 via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, providing new insights to guide development of treatments for osteoporosis induced by oxidative injury.

Abstract
Current cell-based therapies administered after myocardial infarction (MI) show limited efficacy due to subpar cell retention in a dynamically beating heart. In particular, cardiac patches generally provide a cursory level of cell attachment due to the lack of an adequate microenvironment. From this perspective, decellularized cell-derived ECM (CDM) is attractive in its recapitulation of a natural biophysical environment for cells. Unfortunately, its weak physical property renders it difficult to retain in its original form, limiting its full potential. Here, a novel strategy to peel CDM off from its underlying substrate is proposed. By physically stamping it onto a polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel, the resulting stretchable extracellular matrix (ECM) membrane preserves the natural microenvironment of CDM, thereby conferring a biological interface to a viscoelastic membrane. Its various mechanical and biological properties are characterized and its capacity to improve cardiomyocyte functionality is demonstrated. Finally, evidence of enhanced stem cell delivery using the stretchable ECM membrane is presented, which leads to improved cardiac remodeling in a rat MI model. A new class of material based on natural CDM is envisioned for the enhanced delivery of cells and growth factors that have a known affinity with ECM.

Abstract
Currently, clinically available orthopedic implants are extremely biocompatible but they lack specific biological characteristics that allow for further interaction with surrounding tissues. The extracellular matrix (ECM)-coated scaffolds have received considerable interest for bone regeneration due to their ability in upregulating regenerative cellular behaviors. This study delves into the designing and fabrication of three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds that were made out of calcium silicate (CS), polycaprolactone (PCL), and decellularized ECM (dECM) from MG63 cells, generating a promising bone tissue engineering strategy that revolves around the concept of enhancing osteogenesis by creating an osteoinductive microenvironment with osteogenesis-promoting dECM. We cultured MG63 on scaffolds to obtain a dECM-coated CS/PCL scaffold and further studied the biological performance of the dECM hybrid scaffolds. The results indicated that the dECM-coated CS/PCL scaffolds exhibited excellent biocompatibility and effectively enhanced cellular adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of human Wharton's Jelly mesenchymal stem cells by increasing the expression of osteogenic-related genes. They also presented anti-inflammatory characteristics by showing a decrease in the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1). Histological analysis of in vivo experiments presented excellent bone regenerative capabilities of the dECM-coated scaffold. Overall, our work presented a promising technique for producing bioscaffolds that can augment bone tissue regeneration in numerous aspects.

Abstract
The development, maintenance of healthy bone and regeneration of injured tissue in the human body comprise a set of intricate and finely coordinated processes. However, an analysis of current bone regeneration strategies shows that only a small fraction of well-reported bone biology aspects has been used as inspiration and transposed into the development of therapeutic products. Specific topics that include inter-scale bone structural organization, developmental aspects of bone morphogenesis, bone repair mechanisms, role of specific cells and heterotypic cell contact in the bone niche (including vascularization networks and immune system cells), cell-cell direct and soluble-mediated contact, extracellular matrix composition (with particular focus on the non-soluble fraction of proteins), as well as mechanical aspects of native bone will be the main reviewed topics. In this Review we suggest a systematic parallelization of (i) fundamental well-established biology of bone, (ii) updated and recent advances on the understanding of biological phenomena occurring in native and injured tissue, and (iii) critical discussion of how those individual aspects have been translated into tissue regeneration strategies using biomaterials and other tissue engineering approaches. We aim at presenting a perspective on unexplored aspects of bone physiology and how they could be translated into innovative regeneration-driven concepts.

Abstract
An osteoblast-laden nanocomposite hydrogel construct, based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA)/laponite XLG nanoclay ([Mg5.34Li0.66Si8O20(OH)4]Na0.66, clay)/hyaluronic acid sodium salt (HA) bio-inks, is developed by a two-channel 3D bioprinting method. The novel biodegradable bio-ink A, comprised of a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-clay nanocomposite crosslinked hydrogel, is used to facilitate 3D-bioprinting and enables the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to growing cells. HA with encapsulated primary rat osteoblasts (ROBs) is applied as bio-ink B with a view to improving cell viability, distribution uniformity, and deposition efficiency. The cell-laden PEG-clay constructs not only encapsulated osteoblasts with more than 95% viability in the short term but also exhibited excellent osteogenic ability in the long term, due to the release of bioactive ions (magnesium ions, Mg2+ and silicon ions, Si4+), which induces the suitable microenvironment to promote the differentiation of the loaded exogenous ROBs, both in vitro and in vivo. This 3D-bioprinting method holds much promise for bone tissue regeneration in terms of cell engraftment, survival, and ultimately long-term function.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is a persistent process for maintaining skeletal system homeostasis, and it depends on the dynamic equilibrium between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), a ligand-activated transcription factor, plays a pivotal role in regulating skeletal system. In order to better understand the role of Ahr in bone remodeling, we focused on bone remodeling characteristic, and the effects of Ahr on bone formation and differentiation, which suggest that Ahr is a critical control factor in the process of bone remodeling. Moreover, we discussed the impacts of Ahr on several signaling pathways related to bone remodeling, hoping to provide a theoretical basis to improve bone remodeling.

Abstract
The insufficient osseointegration and bacterial infection of titanium and its alloys remain the key challenges in their clinic applications, which may result in failure implantation. To improve osteogenetic and antibacterial properties, TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated on titanium substrates for loading of antibacterial drug. Then, TiO2 nanotube arrays were covered with chitosan/sodium alginate multilayer films. The successful construction of this system was verified via scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurement. The cytocompatibility evaluation in vitro, including cytoskeleton observation, cell viability measurement, and alkaline phosphatase activity assay, confirmed that the present system was capable of accelerating the growth of osteoblasts. In addition, bacterial adhesion and viability assay verified that treated Ti substrates were capable of reducing the adhesion of bacteria. This study may provide an alternative to develop titanium-based implants for enhanced bone osseointegration and reduced bacterial infection.

Abstract
To improve the biological properties of bioactive titanium metal, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2(rhBMP-2) and fibronectin (Fn) were adsorbed on its surface solely or contiguously to modify the anodic oxidized titanium (AO-Ti), acid-alkali-treated titanium (AA-Ti), and polished titanium (P-Ti). It is found that the different bioactive titanium surface structures had great influence on protein adsorption. The adsorption amounts of BMP adsorbed solely and Fn/BMP adsorbed contiguously were AA-Ti > P-Ti > AO-Ti, and that for Fn adsorbed solely was AA-Ti ≈ P-Ti > AO-Ti. The conformation of proteins was changed remarkably after the adsorption. For BMP, the α-helix decreased on AA-Ti and stabilized on P-Ti and AO-Ti. For Fn, the β-sheet on PT-Ti and AA-Ti increased significantly. For Fn/BMP, the percentage of β-sheet on AA-Ti increased, and that of α-helix on all samples was stable. MSCs showed greater adhesion and spreading on Fn/BMP groups. MTT and Elisa tests showed that the synergistic effects of proteins made the cells proliferate and differentiate faster. It indicated both the surface structure and the synergistic effects of proteins could influence the biological properties of titanium metals. It provides research foundation for improving the biological properties of bioactive titanium metals by simultaneous application of several proteins. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Stiffness of bone tissue differs response to its physiological or pathological status, such as osteoporosis or osteosclerosis. Consequently, the function of cells residing in bone tissue including osteoblasts (OBs), osteoclasts and osteocytes will be affected. However, to the best of our knowledge, the detailed mechanism of how extracellular matrix stiffness affects OB function remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a study that exposed rat primary OBs to polydimethylsiloxane substrates with varied stiffness to investigate the alterations of cell morphology, osteoblastic differentiation and its potential mechanism in mechanotransduction. RESULTS Distinctive differences of cell shapes and vinculin expression in rat osteoblasts were detected on different PDMS substrates. As representatives for OB function, expression of alkaline phosphatase, Runx2 and osteocalcin were identified and showed a decrease trend as substrates become soft, which is associated with the Rho/ROCK signalling pathway. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated substrate elasticity as a potent regulator in OBs functionalization, which may pave a way for further understanding of bone diseases as well as a potential therapeutic alternative in tissue regeneration.
