Neural Regen Res 2024; 19:2488-2498. [PMID: 38526285 PMCID: PMC11090429 DOI: 10.4103/nrr.nrr-d-23-01355] [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: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202419110-00029/figure1/v/2024-03-08T184507Z/r/image-tiff Our previous study has demonstrated that lnc_000048 is upregulated in large-artery atherosclerotic stroke and promotes atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice. However, little is known about the role of lnc_000048 in classically activated macrophage (M1) polarization. In this study, we established THP-1-derived testing state macrophages (M0), M1 macrophages, and alternately activated macrophages (M2). Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to verify the expression of marker genes and the expression of lnc_000048 in macrophages. Flow cytometry was used to detect phenotypic proteins (CD11b, CD38, CD80). We generated cell lines with lentivirus-mediated upregulation or downregulation of lnc_000048. Flow cytometry, western blot, and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR results showed that down-regulation of lnc_000048 reduced M1 macrophage polarization and the inflammation response, while over-expression of lnc_000048 led to the opposite effect. Western blot results indicated that lnc_000048 enhanced the activation of the STAT1 pathway and mediated the M1 macrophage polarization. Moreover, catRAPID prediction, RNA-pull down, and mass spectrometry were used to identify and screen the protein kinase RNA-activated (PKR), then catRAPID and RPIseq were used to predict the binding ability of lnc_000048 to PKR. Immunofluorescence (IF)-RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) double labeling was performed to verify the subcellular colocalization of lnc_000048 and PKR in the cytoplasm of M1 macrophage. We speculate that lnc_000048 may form stem-loop structure-specific binding and activate PKR by inducing its phosphorylation, leading to activation of STAT1 phosphorylation and thereby enhancing STAT1 pathway-mediated polarization of THP-1 macrophages to M1 and inflammatory factor expression. Taken together, these results reveal that the lnc_000048/PKR/STAT1 axis plays a crucial role in the polarization of M1 macrophages and may be a novel therapeutic target for atherosclerosis alleviation in stroke.

Synergistic large segmental bone repair by 3D printed bionic scaffolds and engineered ADSC nanovesicles: Towards an optimized regenerative microenvironment. Biomaterials 2024; 308:122566. [PMID: 38603824 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
Achieving sufficient bone regeneration in large segmental defects is challenging, with the structure of bone repair scaffolds and their loaded bioactive substances crucial for modulating the local osteogenic microenvironment. This study utilized digital laser processing (DLP)-based 3D printing technology to successfully fabricate high-precision methacryloylated polycaprolactone (PCLMA) bionic bone scaffold structures. Adipose-derived stem cell-engineered nanovesicles (ADSC-ENs) were uniformly and stably modified onto the bionic scaffold surface using a perfusion device, constructing a conducive microenvironment for tissue regeneration and long bone defect repair through the scaffold's structural design and the vesicles' biological functions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination of the scaffold surface confirmed the efficient loading of ADSC-ENs. The material group loaded with vesicles (PCLMA-BAS-ENs) demonstrated good cell compatibility and osteogenic potential when analyzed for the adhesion and osteogenesis of primary rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the material surface. Tested in a 15 mm critical rabbit radial defect model, the PCLMA-BAS-ENs scaffold facilitated near-complete bone defect repair after 12 weeks. Immunofluorescence and proteomic results indicated that the PCLMA-BAS-ENs scaffold significantly improved the osteogenic microenvironment at the defect site in vivo, promoted angiogenesis, and enhanced the polarization of macrophages towards M2 phenotype, and facilitated the recruitment of BMSCs. Thus, the PCLMA-BAS-ENs scaffold was proven to significantly promote the repair of large segmental bone defects. Overall, this strategy of combining engineered vesicles with highly biomimetic scaffolds to promote large-segment bone tissue regeneration holds great potential in orthopedic and other regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
The joint prosthesis plays a vital role in the outcome of total hip arthroplasty. The key factors that determine the performance of joint prostheses are the materials used and the structural design of the prosthesis. This study aimed to fabricate a porous tantalum (Ta) hip prosthesis using selective laser melting (SLM) technology. The feasibility of SLM Ta use in hip prosthesis was verified by studying its chemical composition, metallographic structure and mechanical properties. In vitro experiments proved that SLM Ta exhibited better biological activities in promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting inflammation than SLM Ti6Al4V. Then, the topological optimization design of the femoral stem of the SLM Ta hip prosthesis was carried out by finite element simulation, and the fatigue performance of the optimized prosthesis was tested to verify the biomechanical safety of the prosthesis. A porous Ta acetabulum cup was also designed and fabricated using SLM. Its mechanical properties were then studied. Finally, clinical trials were conducted to verify the clinical efficacy of the SLM Ta hip prosthesis. The porous structure could reduce the weight of the prosthesis and stress shielding and avoid bone resorption around the prosthesis. In addition, anti-infection drugs can also be loaded into the pores for infection treatment. The acetabular cup can be custom-designed based on the severity of bone loss on the acetabular side, and the integrated acetabular cup can repair the acetabular bone defect while achieving the function of the acetabular cup.

Functional Oxidized Hyaluronic Acid Cross-Linked Decellularized Heart Valves for Improved Immunomodulation, Anti-Calcification, and Recellularization. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2303737.

Abstract
Tissue engineering heart valves (TEHVs) are expected to address the limitations of mechanical and bioprosthetic valves used in clinical practice. Decellularized heart valve (DHV) is an important scaffold of TEHVs due to its natural three-dimensional structure and bioactive extracellular matrix, but its mechanical properties and hemocompatibility are impaired. In this study, DHV is cross-linked with three different molecular weights of oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) by a Schiff base reaction and presented enhanced stability and hemocompatibility, which could be mediated by the molecular weight of OHA. Notably, DHV cross-linked with middle- and high-molecular-weight OHA could drive the macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype in vitro. Moreover, DHV cross-linked with middle-molecular-weight OHA scaffolds are further modified with RGD-PHSRN peptide (RPF-OHA/DHV) to block the residual aldehyde groups of the unreacted OHA. The results show that RPF-OHA/DHV not only exhibits anti-calcification properties, but also facilitates endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation in vitro. Furthermore, RPF-OHA/DHV shows excellent performance under an in vivo hemodynamic environment with favorable recellularization and immune regulation without calcification. The optimistic results demonstrate that OHA with different molecular weights has different cross-linking effects on DHV and that RPF-OHA/DHV scaffold with enhanced immune regulation, anti-calcification, and recellularization properties for clinical transformation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chichoric acid (CA) is a major active ingredient found in chicory and Echinacea. As a derivative of caffeic acid, it has various pharmacological effects. PURPOSE Due to the unclear etiology and disease mechanisms, effective treatment methods for ulcerative colitis (UC) are currently lacking. The study investigated the therapeutic effects of the folate-chicory acid liposome on both LPS-induced macrophage inflammation models and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse UC models. METHODS Folate-chicory acid liposome was prepared using the double emulsion ultrasonic method with the aim of targeting folate receptors specifically expressed on macrophages. The study investigated the therapeutic effects of the folate-chicory acid liposome on both LPS-induced macrophage inflammation models and DSS -induced mouse UC models. Furthermore, the effects of the liposomes on macrophage polarization and their underlying mechanisms in UC were explored. RESULTS The average particle size of folate-chicory acid liposome was 120.4 ± 0.46 nm, with an encapsulation efficiency of 77.32 ± 3.19 %. The folate-chicory acid liposome could alleviate macrophage apoptosis induced by LPS, decrease the expression of inflammatory factors in macrophages, enhance the expression of anti-inflammatory factors, inhibit macrophage polarization towards the M1 phenotype, and mitigate cellular inflammation in vetro. In vivo test, folate-chicory acid liposome could attenuate clinical symptoms, increased colon length, reduced DAI scores, CMDI scores, and alleviated the severity of colonic histopathological damage in UC mice. Furthermore, it inhibited the polarization of macrophages towards the M1 phenotype in the colon and downregulated the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby ameliorating UC in mice. CONCLUSION Folate-chicory acid liposome exhibited a uniform particle size distribution and high encapsulation efficiency. It effectively treated UC mice by inhibiting the polarization of macrophages towards the M1 phenotype in the colon and downregulating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
The multifaceted biological defense system modulating complex immune responses against pathogens and foreign materials plays a critical role in tissue homeostasis and disease progression. Recently developed biomaterials that can specifically regulate immune responses, nanoparticles, graphene, and functional hydrogels have contributed to the advancement of tissue engineering as well as disease treatment. The interaction between innate and adaptive immunity, collectively determining immune responses, can be regulated by mechanobiological recognition and adaptation of immune cells to the extracellular microenvironment. Therefore, applying immunomodulation to tissue regeneration and cancer therapy involves manipulating the properties of biomaterials by tailoring their composition in the context of the immune system. This review provides a comprehensive overview of how the physicochemical attributes of biomaterials determine immune responses, focusing on the physical properties that influence innate and adaptive immunity. This review also underscores the critical aspect of biomaterial-based immune engineering for the development of novel therapeutics and emphasizes the importance of understanding the biomaterials-mediated immunological mechanisms and their role in modulating the immune system.

Abstract
The rational design of hydrogel materials to modulate the immune microenvironment has emerged as a pivotal approach in expediting tissue repair and regeneration. Within the immune microenvironment, an array of immune cells exists, with macrophages gaining prominence in the field of tissue repair and regeneration due to their roles in cytokine regulation to promote regeneration, maintain tissue homeostasis, and facilitate repair. Macrophages can be categorized into two types: classically activated M1 (pro-inflammatory) and alternatively activated M2 (anti-inflammatory and pro-repair). By regulating the physical and chemical properties of hydrogels, the phenotypic transformation and cell behavior of macrophages can be effectively controlled, thereby promoting tissue regeneration and repair. A full understanding of the interaction between hydrogels and macrophages can provide new ideas and methods for future tissue engineering and clinical treatment. Therefore, this paper reviews the effects of hydrogel components, hardness, pore size, and surface morphology on cell behaviors such as macrophage proliferation, migration, and phenotypic polarization, and explores the application of hydrogels based on macrophage immune regulation in skin, bone, cartilage, and nerve tissue repair. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of macrophage-based immunomodulatory hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
Introduction: Silicon is a major trace element in humans and a prospective supporting biomaterial to bone regeneration. Submicron silicon pillars, as a representative surface topography of silicon-based biomaterials, can regulate macrophage and osteoblastic cell responses. However, the design of submicron silicon pillars for promoting bone regeneration still needs to be optimized. In this study, we proposed a submicron forest-like (Fore) silicon surface (Fore) based on photoetching. The smooth (Smo) silicon surface and photoetched regular (Regu) silicon pillar surface were used for comparison in the bone regeneration evaluation. Methods: Surface parameters were investigated using a field emission scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope, and contact angle instrument. The regulatory effect of macrophage polarization and succedent osteogenesis was studied using Raw264.7, MC3T3-E1, and rBMSCs. Finally, a mouse calvarial defect model was used for evaluating the promoting effect of bone regeneration on the three surfaces. Results: The results showed that the Fore surface can increase the expression of M2-polarized markers (CD163 and CD206) and decrease the expression of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Fore surface can promote the osteogenesis in MC3T3-E1 cells and osteoblastic differentiation of rBMSCs. Furthermore, the volume fraction of new bone and the thickness of trabeculae on the Fore surface were significantly increased, and the expression of RANKL was downregulated. In summary, the upregulation of macrophage M2 polarization on the Fore surface contributed to enhanced osteogenesis in vitro and accelerated bone regeneration in vivo. Discussion: This study strengthens our understanding of the topographic design for developing future silicon-based biomaterials.

Emam SM, Moussa N. Signaling pathways of dental implants' osseointegration: a narrative review on two of the most relevant; NF-κB and Wnt pathways. BDJ Open 2024; 10:29. [PMID: 38580623 PMCID: PMC10997788 DOI: 10.1038/s41405-024-00211-w] [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: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cell signaling pathways are the biological reactions that control cell functions and fate. They also directly affect the body reactions to implanted biomaterials. It is well-known that dental implants success depends on a successful integration with the alveolar bone: "osseointegration" which events comprise early and later responses to the implanted biomaterials. The early events are mainly immune-inflammatory responses to the implant considered by its microenvironment as a foreign body. Later reactions are osteogenic aiming to regulate bone formation and remodeling. All these events are controlled by the cell signaling pathways in an incredible harmonious coordination. AIM The number of pathways having a role in osseointegration is so big to be reviewed in a single article. So the aim of this review was to study only two of the most relevant ones: the inflammatory Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NF-κB) pathway regulating the early osseointegration events and the osteogenic Wnt pathway regulating later events. METHODS We conducted a literature review using key databases to provide an overview about the NF-κB and Wnt cell signaling pathways and their mutual relationship with dental implants. A simplified narrative approach was conducted to explain these cell signaling pathways, their mode of activation and how they are related to the cellular events of osseointegration. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION NF-κB and Wnt cell signaling pathways are important cross-talking pathways that are affected by the implant's material and surface characteristics. The presence of the implant itself in the bone alters the intracellular events of both pathways in the adjacent implant's cellular microenvironment. Both pathways have a great role in the success or failure of osseointegration. Such knowledge can offer a new hope to treat failed implants and enhance osseointegration in difficult cases. This is consistent with advances in Omics technologies that can change the paradigm of dental implant therapy.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of NaOH on the surface morphology of three-dimensional (3D) printed poly- L-lactic acid (PLLA) mesh scaffolds. Methods The 3D printed PLLA mesh scaffolds were prepared by fused deposition molding technology, then the scaffold surfaces were etched with the NaOH solution. The concentrations of NaOH solution were 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 mol/L, and the treatment time was 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours, respectively. There were a total of 25 concentration and time combinations. After treatment, the microstructure, energy spectrum, roughness, hydrophilicity, compressive strength, as well as cell adhesion and proliferation of the scaffolds were observed. The untreated scaffolds were used as a normal control. Results 3D printed PLLA mesh scaffolds were successfully prepared by using fused deposition molding technology. After NaOH etching treatment, a rough or micro porous structure was constructed on the surface of the scaffold, and with the increase of NaOH concentration and treatment time, the size and density of the pores increased. The characterization of the scaffolds by energy dispersive spectroscopy showed that the crystal contains two elements, Na and O. The surface roughness of NaOH treated scaffolds significantly increased ( P<0.05) and the contact angle significantly decreased ( P<0.05) compared to untreated scaffolds. There was no significant difference in compressive strength between the untreated scaffolds and treated scaffolds under conditions of 0.1 mol/L/12 h and 1.0 mol/L/3 h ( P>0.05), while the compression strength of the other treated scaffolds were significantly lower than that of the untreated scaffolds ( P<0.05). After co-culturing the cells with the scaffold, NaOH treatment resulted in an increase in the number of cells on the surface of the scaffold and the spreading area of individual cells, and more synapses extending from adherent cells. Conclusion NaOH treatment is beneficial for increasing the surface hydrophilicity and cell adhesion of 3D printed PLLA mesh scaffolds.

Abstract
Despite decades of progress, developing minimally invasive bone-specific drug delivery systems (DDS) to improve fracture healing remains a significant clinical challenge. To address this critical therapeutic need, nanoparticle (NP) DDS comprised of poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride)-b-poly(styrene) (PSMA-b-PS) functionalized with a peptide that targets tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and achieves preferential fracture accumulation has been developed. The delivery of AR28, a glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK3β) inhibitor, via the TRAP binding peptide-NP (TBP-NP) expedites fracture healing. Interestingly, however, NPs are predominantly taken up by fracture-associated macrophages rather than cells typically associated with fracture healing. Therefore, the underlying mechanism of healing via TBP-NP is comprehensively investigated herein. TBP-NPAR28 promotes M2 macrophage polarization and enhances osteogenesis in preosteoblast-macrophage co-cultures in vitro. Longitudinal analysis of TBP-NPAR28 -mediated fracture healing reveals distinct spatial distributions of M2 macrophages, an increased M2/M1 ratio, and upregulation of anti-inflammatory and downregulated pro-inflammatory genes compared to controls. This work demonstrates the underlying therapeutic mechanism of bone-targeted NP DDS, which leverages macrophages as druggable targets and modulates M2 macrophage polarization to enhance fracture healing, highlighting the therapeutic benefit of this approach for fractures and bone-associated diseases.

Abstract
The osteoimmune microenvironment induced by implants plays a significant role in bone regeneration. It is essential to efficiently and timely switch the macrophage phenotype from M1 to M2 for optimal bone healing. This study examined the impact of a calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on the physiochemical properties of highly ordered polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds fabricated using melt electrowritten (MEW). Additionally, it investigated the influence of these scaffolds on macrophage polarization and their immunomodulation on osteogenesis. The results revealed that the CaP coated PCL scaffold exhibited a rougher surface topography and higher hydrophilicity in comparison to the PCL scaffold without coating. Besides, the surface morphology of the coating and the release of Ca2+ from the CaP coating were crucial in regulating the transition of macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotypes. They might activate the PI3K/AKT and cAMP-PKA pathways, respectively, to facilitate M2 polarization. In addition, the osteoimmune microenvironment induced by CaP coated PCL could not only enhance the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro but also promote the bone regeneration in vivo. Taken together, the CaP coating can be employed to control the phenotypic switching of macrophages, thereby creating a beneficial immunomodulatory microenvironment that promotes bone regeneration.

Abstract
Biomaterial scaffolds, including bone substitutes, have evolved from being primarily a biologically passive structural element to one in which material properties such as surface topography and chemistry actively direct bone regeneration by influencing stem cells and the immune microenvironment. Ti-6Al-4V(Ti6Al4V) implants, with a significantly higher elastic modulus than human bone, may lead to stress shielding, necessitating improved stability at the bone-titanium alloy implant interface. Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (Ti2448), a low elastic modulus β-type titanium alloy devoid of potentially toxic elements, was utilized in this study. We employed 3D printing technology to fabricate a porous scaffold structure to further decrease the structural stiffness of the implant to approximate that of cancellous bone. Microarc oxidation (MAO) surface modification technology is then employed to create a microporous structure and a hydrophilic oxide ceramic layer on the surface and interior of the scaffold. In vitro studies demonstrated that MAO treatment enhances the proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenesis capabilities on the scaffold surface. The chemical composition of the MAO-Ti2448 oxide layer is found to enhance the transcription and expression of osteogenic genes in bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), potentially related to the enrichment of Nb2O5 and SnO2 in the oxide layer. The MAO-Ti2448 scaffold, with its synergistic surface activity and low stiffness, significantly activates the anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype, creating an immune microenvironment that promotes the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In vivo experiments in a rabbit model demonstrated a significant improvement in the quantity and quality of the newly formed bone trabeculae within the scaffold under the contact osteogenesis pattern with a matched elastic modulus. These trabeculae exhibit robust connections to the external structure of the scaffold, accelerating the formation of an interlocking structure between the bone and implant and providing higher implantation stability. These findings suggest that the MAO-Ti2448 scaffold has significant potential as a bone defect repair material by regulating osteoimmunomodulation and osteogenesis to enhance osseointegration. This study demonstrates an optional strategy that combines the mechanism of reducing the elastic modulus with surface modification treatment, thereby extending the application scope of β-type titanium alloy.

Abstract
Osteogenesis is caused by multiple factors, and the inflammatory response, osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), regeneration of blood vessels, and other factors must be considered in bone tissue engineering. To effectively repair bone defect, it is important to decrease excessive inflammation, enhance the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts, and stimulate angiogenesis. Herein, nano-attapulgite (ATP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and gelatin (GEL) scaffolds were produced using 3D printing technology and pioglitazone (PIO)-containing polylactic acid-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanospheres were added. In both in vitro and in vivo studies, material scaffolds with PIO-loaded polylactic acid-glycolic acid nanospheres could reduce the inflammatory response by encouraging macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 and promoting the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by activating the BMP2/Smad/RUNX2 signal pathway to repair bone defects. The vascularization of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) through the PI3K/AKT/HIF1-/VEGF pathway was also encouraged. In vivo research using PIO-containing PLGA nanospheres revealed massive collagen deposition in skin models. These findings indicate a potentially effective scaffold for bone healing, when PLGA nanospheres-which contain the drug PIO-are combined with ATP/PVA/GEL scaffolds.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exhibiting an M2 phenotype contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of various cancer types, including lung cancer. Therapeutic approaches targeting TAMs have the potential to complement and synergize with conventional chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Through database analysis, it has become evident that the expression of CTNNB1 (β-catenin) is predominantly localized in macrophages, and its presence is associated with unfavorable outcomes in the absence of CD8+ cells. Jin-Fu-An decoction (JFAD) has been utilized as an adjunct to augment current clinical interventions. By conducting a network pharmacological analysis, we discovered that CTNNB1 is a significant target of JFAD. Experiments were conducted to examine the impact of JFAD on macrophage polarization both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the study investigated the combined effect of JFAD and cisplatin (CDDP) on mitigating adverse reactions and prolonging survival in subcutaneously transplanted tumor models and orthotopic lung cancer models. The percentage of M1 and M2 macrophages in the tumor and spleen were measured using flow cytometry. Additionally, the levels of β-catenin, M1, and M2 macrophage markers were measured by Western blotting and qPCR, while CD8 and iNOS protein expression was analyzed via immunohistochemistry. Our research findings indicate that JFAD has the ability to modulate the transformation of M2 macrophages into M1 macrophages, augment the anticancer efficacy of CDDP, and diminish the expression of cell-related markers in M2 cells. This regulatory effect may potentially be associated with the downregulation of β-catenin expression.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is one of the most important biological complications in the field of oral implantology. Identifying the causative factors of peri-implant inflammation and osteolysis is crucial for the disease's prevention and treatment. The underlying risk factors and detailed pathogenesis of peri-implantitis remain to be elucidated. Titanium-based implants as the most widely used implant inevitably release titanium particles into the surrounding tissue. Notably, the concentration of titanium particles increases significantly at peri-implantitis sites, suggesting titanium particles as a potential risk factor for the condition. Previous studies have indicated that titanium particles can induce peripheral osteolysis and foster the development of aseptic osteoarthritis in orthopedic joint replacement. However, it remains unconfirmed whether this phenomenon also triggers inflammation and bone resorption in peri-implant tissues. This review summarizes the distribution of titanium particles around the implant, the potential roles in peri-implantitis and the prevalent prevention strategies, which expects to provide new directions for the study of the pathogenesis and treatment of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
The use of biomaterials in biomedicine and healthcare has increased in recent years. Macrophages are the primary immune cells that induce inflammation and tissue repair after implantation of biomaterials. Given that macrophages exhibit high heterogeneity and plasticity, the influence of biomaterials on macrophage phenotype should be considered a crucial evaluation criterion during the development of novel biomaterials. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the physicochemical, biological, and dynamic characteristics of biomaterials that drive the regulation of immune responses in macrophages. The mechanisms involved in the interaction between macrophages and biomaterials, including endocytosis, receptors, signalling pathways, integrins, inflammasomes and long non-coding RNAs, are summarised in this review. In addition, research prospects of the interaction between macrophages and biomaterials are discussed. An in-depth understanding of mechanisms underlying the spatiotemporal changes in macrophage phenotype induced by biomaterials and their impact on macrophage polarization can facilitate the identification and development of novel biomaterials with superior performance. These biomaterials may be used for tissue repair and regeneration, vaccine or drug delivery and immunotherapy.

Unraveling the potential of 3D bioprinted immunomodulatory materials for regulating macrophage polarization: State-of-the-art in bone and associated tissue regeneration. Bioact Mater 2023; 28:284-310. [PMID: 37303852 PMCID: PMC10248805 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.05.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrophage-assisted immunomodulation is an alternative strategy in tissue engineering, wherein the interplay between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory macrophage cells and body cells determines the fate of healing or inflammation. Although several reports have demonstrated that tissue regeneration depends on spatial and temporal regulation of the biophysical or biochemical microenvironment of the biomaterial, the underlying molecular mechanism behind immunomodulation is still under consideration for developing immunomodulatory scaffolds. Currently, most fabricated immunomodulatory platforms reported in the literature show regenerative capabilities of a particular tissue, for example, endogenous tissue (e.g., bone, muscle, heart, kidney, and lungs) or exogenous tissue (e.g., skin and eye). In this review, we briefly introduced the necessity of the 3D immunomodulatory scaffolds and nanomaterials, focusing on material properties and their interaction with macrophages for general readers. This review also provides a comprehensive summary of macrophage origin and taxonomy, their diverse functions, and various signal transduction pathways during biomaterial-macrophage interaction, which is particularly helpful for material scientists and clinicians for developing next-generation immunomodulatory scaffolds. From a clinical standpoint, we briefly discussed the role of 3D biomaterial scaffolds and/or nanomaterial composites for macrophage-assisted tissue engineering with a special focus on bone and associated tissues. Finally, a summary with expert opinion is presented to address the challenges and future necessity of 3D bioprinted immunomodulatory materials for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Physiochemical cues like topography and wettability can impact the inflammatory response and tissue integration after biomaterial implantation. T cells are essential for immunomodulation of innate immune cells and play an important role in the host response to biomaterial implantation. This study aimed to understand how CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets, members of the αβ T cell family, polarize in response to smooth, rough, or rough-hydrophilic titanium (Ti) implants and whether their presence modulates immune cell crosstalk and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) recruitment following biomaterial implantation. Post-implantation in mice, we found that CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets polarized differentially in response to modified Ti surfaces. Additionally, mice lacking αβ T cells had significantly more pro-inflammatory macrophages, fewer anti-inflammatory macrophages, and reduced MSC recruitment in response to modified Ti post-implantation than αβ T cell -competent mice. Our results demonstrate that T cell activation plays a significant role during the inflammatory response to implanted biomaterials, contributing to macrophage polarization and MSC recruitment and proliferation, and the absence of αβ T cells compromises new bone formation at the implantation site. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: T cells are essential for immunomodulation and play an important role in the host response to biomaterial implantation. Our results demonstrate that T cells actively participate during the inflammatory response to implanted biomaterials, controlling macrophage phenotype and recruitment of MSCs to the implantation site.

Abstract
The application of titanium in the orthopedic and dental fields is associated with bacterial infection and chronic inflammation, especially in the early stages after its implantation. In the present study, we investigated the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of a titanium surface that was immobilized in a thermosensitive PLGA-PEG-PLGA hydrogel containing the antimicrobial peptide GL13K. The FTIR results confirmed the successful loading of GL13K. The degradation of the hydrogel and release of GL13K persisted for two weeks. The modified titanium surface exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on Porphyromonas gingivalis in contact with its surface, as well as an inhibitory effect on P.g in the surrounding environment by releasing GL13K antimicrobial peptides. The modified titanium surfaces were biocompatible with RAW264.7. Furthermore, the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α and iNOS was down-regulated, whereas anti-inflammatory cytokines Arg-1, IL-10 and VEGF-A were up-regulated on the modified titanium surfaces on days 3 and 5. This effect was attributed to the polarization of macrophages from the M1 to M2 phenotype, which was confirmed by the detection of macrophage M1/M2 biomarkers via immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. Thus, the thermosensitive PLGA-PEG-PLGA hydrogel release system carrying the antimicrobial peptide GL13K on a titanium surface exhibited antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and promoted macrophage polarization from the M1 to M2 phenotype, which may help create a favourable niche for bone formation under infective condition.

Abstract
Peri-implant tissue inflammation is an inflammatory injury that occurs in the soft and hard tissues surrounding the implant and is the main cause of short- or long-term failure of implant prosthetic restorations, which is compounded by bone loss and bone destruction in the alveolar bone of diabetes patients with peri-implantitis. However, the mechanisms underlying the persistence of diabetic peri-implantitis, as well as the essential connections and key molecules that regulate its start and progression, remain unknown. In this study, we discovered that M1 macrophage polarization was abnormally enhanced in diabetic peri-implantitis and influenced the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. RNA sequencing revealed that ALKBH5 expression was abnormally reduced in diabetic peri-implantitis. Further mechanism study showed that ALKBH5 and its mediated m6A can influence osteogenic differentiation, which in turn influences the persistence of diabetic peri-implantitis. Our findings present a new mechanism for the suppression of osteoblast development in diabetic peri-implantitis and a new treatment strategy to promote anabolism by inhibiting ALKBH5.

Abstract
Bioceramic scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering suffer from a low concentration of ceramic particles (<50 wt%), because the high concentration of ceramic particles increases the brittleness of the composite. 3D printed flexible PCL/HA scaffolds with high ceramic particle concentrations (84 wt%) were successfully fabricated in this study. However, the hydrophobicity of PCL weakens the composite scaffold hydrophilicity, which may limit the osteogenic ability to some extent. Thus, as a less time-consuming, less labour intensive, and more cost-effective treatment method, alkali treatment (AT) was employed to modify the surface hydrophilicity of the PCL/HA scaffold, and its regulation of immune responses and bone regeneration were investigated in vivo and in vitro. Initially, several concentrations of NaOH (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 5 mol L-1) were employed in tests to determine the appropriate concentration for AT. Based on the comprehensive consideration of the results of mechanical experiments and hydrophilicity, 2 mol L-1 and 2.5 mol L-1 of NaOH were selected for further investigation in this study. The PCL/HA-AT-2 scaffold dramatically reduced foreign body reactions as compared to the PCL/HA and PCL/HA-AT-2.5 scaffolds, promoted macrophage polarization towards the M2 phenotype and enhanced new bone formation. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway might participate in the signal transduction underlying hydrophilic surface-modified 3D printed scaffold-regulated osteogenesis, according to the results of immunohistochemical staining. In conclusion, hydrophilic surface-modified 3D printed flexible scaffolds with high ceramic particle concentrations can regulate the immune reactions and macrophage polarization to promote bone regeneration, and the PCL/HA-AT-2 scaffold is a potential candidate for bone tissue repair.

Abstract
Activation of microglia is one of the pathological bases of neuroinflammation, which involves various diseases of the central nervous system. Inhibiting the inflammatory activation of microglia is a therapeutic approach to neuroinflammation. In this study, we report that activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in a model of neuroinflammation in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/IFN-γ-stimulated BV-2 cells can result in inhibition of production of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway also results in inhibition of the phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in the LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated BV-2 cells. These findings indicate that activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway can inhibit neuroinflammation through downregulating the pro-inflammatory cytokines including iNOS, TNF-α, and IL-6, and suppress NF-κB/ERK-related signaling pathways. In conclusion, this study indicates that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation may play an important role in neuroprotection in certain neuroinflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Spatiotemporal Immune disorder is a key factor leading to the failure of bone tissue healing. It is of vital importance to accurately suppress excessive peak immune response within 24-48 h of the injury and so regulate the spatiotemporal osteoimmune disturbance of bones. In this study, Ultrasound Controlled "Explosive" (UCE) hydrogels were prepared from gelatin-hyaluronic acid methacrylate hydrogels loaded with resveratrol nanobubbles produced by double emulsification through a condensation reaction. Such materials innovatively enable ultrasound-controlled RES release for precise regulation of spatiotemporal osteoimmune disorders. Under an ultrasonic power level of 1.5 W/cm2, the rate of effectively released RES through the blast of UCE hydrogels reached 38.14 %. And compared with the control group, the in vivo inhibition of inflammation and osteogenesis effects of UCE hydrogels were more effective, respectively. As suggested by the results, the excessive local inflammatory response was inhibited by the release of resveratrol, the temporospatial disorder of bone immune was precisely regulated, and as a result, the process of bone repair was accelerated. Altogether, this study confirms that the newly created UCE Hydrogels effectively promote bone repair by intervening peak inflammation during the early phase of fracture healing.

Abstract
Biocompatibility concerns the phenomena that occur within the interactions between biomaterials and human patients, which ultimately control the performance of many facets of medical technology. It involves aspects of materials science, many different forms of engineering and nanotechnology, chemistry, biophysics, molecular and cellular biology, immunology, pathology and a myriad of clinical applications. It is not surprising that an overarching framework of mechanisms of biocompatibility has been difficult to elucidate and validate. This essay discusses one fundamental reason for this; we have tended to consider biocompatibility pathways as essentially linear sequences of events which follow well-understood processes of materials science and biology. The reality, however, is that the pathways may involve a great deal of plasticity, in which many additional idiosyncratic factors, including those of genetic, epigenetic and viral origin, exert influence, as do complex mechanical, physical and pharmacological variables. Plasticity is an inherent core feature of the performance of synthetic materials; here we follow the more recent biological applications of plasticity concepts into the sphere of biocompatibility pathways. A straightforward linear pathway may result in successful outcomes for many patients; we may describe this in terms of classic biocompatibility pathways. In other situations, which usually command much more attention because of their unsuccessful outcomes, these plasticity-driven processes follow alternative biocompatibility pathways; often, the variability in outcomes with identical technologies is due to biological plasticity rather than material or device deficiency.

Bone marrow stromal cells generate an osteoinductive microenvironment when cultured on titanium-aluminum-vanadium substrates with biomimetic multiscale surface roughness. Biomed Mater 2023; 18. [PMID: 36827708 PMCID: PMC9993812 DOI: 10.1088/1748-605x/acbf15] [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: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
Osseointegration of titanium-based implants possessing complex macroscale/microscale/mesoscale/nanoscale (multiscale) topographies support a direct and functional connection with native bone tissue by promoting recruitment, attachment and osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs). Recent studies show that the MSCs on these surfaces produce factors, including bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) that can cause MSCs not on the surface to undergo osteoblast differentiation, suggesting they may produce an osteogenic environmentin vivo. This study examined if soluble factors produced by MSCs in contact with titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti6Al4V) implants possessing a complex multiscale biomimetic topography are able to induce osteogenesis ectopically. Ti6Al4V disks were grit-blasted and acid-etched to create surfaces possessing macroscale and microscale roughness (MM), micro/meso/nanoscale topography (MN), and macro/micro/meso/nanoscale topography (MMNTM). Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) disks were also fabricated by machining to medical-grade specifications. Surface properties were assessed by scanning electron microscopy, contact angle, optical profilometry, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. MSCs were cultured in growth media (GM). Proteins and local factors in their conditioned media (CM) were measured on days 4, 8, 10 and 14: osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteoprotegerin, BMP2, BMP4, and cytokines interleukins 6, 4 and 10 (IL6, IL4, and IL10). CM was collected from D14 MSCs on MMNTMand tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) and lyophilized. Gel capsules containing active demineralized bone matrix (DBM), heat-inactivated DBM (iDBM), and iDBM + MMN-GM were implanted bilaterally in the gastrocnemius of athymic nude mice (N= 8 capsules/group). Controls included iDBM + GM; iDBM + TCPS-CM from D5 to D10 MSCs; iDBM + MMN-CM from D5 to D10; and iDBM + rhBMP2 (R&D Systems) at a concentration similar to D5-D10 production of MSCs on MMNTMsurfaces. Legs were harvested at 35D. Bone formation was assessed by micro computed tomography and histomorphometry (hematoxylin and eosin staining) with the histology scored according to ASTM 2529-13. DNA was greatest on PEEK at all time points; DNA was lowest on MN at early time points, but increased with time. Cells on PEEK exhibited small changes in differentiation with reduced production of BMP2. Osteoblast differentiation was greatest on the MN and MMNTM, reflecting increased production of BMP2 and BMP4. Pro-regenerative cytokines IL4 and IL10 were increased on Ti-based surfaces; IL6 was reduced compared to PEEK. None of the media from TCPS cultures was osteoinductive. However, MMN-CM exhibited increased bone formation compared to iDBM and iDBM + rhBMP2. Furthermore, exogenous rhBMP2 alone, at the concentration found in MMN-CM collected from D5 to D10 cultures, failed to induce new bone, indicating that other factors in the CM play a critical role in that osteoinductive microenvironment. MSCs cultured on MMNTMTi6Al4V surfaces differentiate and produce an increase in local factors, including BMP2, and the CM from these cultures can induce ectopic bone formation compared to control groups, indicating that the increased bone formation arises from the local response by MSCs to a biomimetic, multiscale surface topography.

Abstract
Inflammation is part of the natural healing response, but persistent inflammatory events tend to contribute to pathology changes of tendon or ligament. Phenotypic switching of macrophages within the inflammatory niche is crucial for tendon healing. One viable strategy to improve the functional and biomechanical properties of ruptured tendons is to modulate the transition from inflammatory to regenerative signals during tendon regeneration at the site of injury. Here, we developed a tendon repair scaffold made of biodegradable polycaprolactone by electrospinning, which was modified to deliver Wnt3a protein and served as an implant to improve tendon healing in a rat model of Achilles tendon defect. During the in vitro study, Wnt3a protein promoted the polarization of M2 macrophages. In the in vivo experiment, Wnt3a scaffold promoted the early recruitment and counting curve of macrophages and increased the proportion of M2 macrophages. Achilles function index and mechanical properties showed that the implantation effect of the Wnt3a group was better than that of the control group. We believe that this type of scaffold can be used to repair tendon defects. This work highlights the beneficial role of local delivery of biological factors in directing inflammatory responses toward regenerative strategies in tendon healing.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (Ca-P) bioceramics, including hydroxyapatite (HA), biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), have been widely used in bone reconstruction. Many studies have focused on the osteoconductivity or osteoinductivity of Ca-P bioceramics, but the association between osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity is not well understood. In our study, the osteoconductivity of HA, BCP, and β-TCP was investigated based on the osteoblastic differentiation in vitro and in situ as well as calvarial defect repair in vivo, and osteoinductivity was evaluated by using pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro and heterotopic ossification in muscles in vivo. Our results showed that the cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, and expression of osteogenesis-related genes, including osteocalcin (Ocn), bone sialoprotein (Bsp), alpha-1 type I collagen (Col1a1), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), of osteoblasts each ranked as BCP > β-TCP > HA, but the alkaline phosphatase activity and expression of osteogenic differentiation genes of MSCs each ranked as β-TCP > BCP > HA. Calvarial defect implantation of Ca-P bioceramics ranked as BCP > β-TCP ≥ HA, but intramuscular implantation ranked as β-TCP ≥ BCP > HA in vivo. Further investigation indicated that osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity are affected by the Ca/P ratio surrounding the Ca-P bioceramics. Thus, manipulating the appropriate calcium-to-phosphorus releasing ratio is a critical factor for determining the osteoinductivity of Ca-P bioceramics in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bones are important for maintaining motor function and providing support for internal organs. Bone diseases can impose a heavy burden on individuals and society. Although bone has a certain ability to repair itself, it is often difficult to repair itself alone when faced with critical-sized defects, such as severe trauma, surgery, or tumors. There is still a heavy reliance on metal implants and autologous or allogeneic bone grafts for bone defects that are difficult to self-heal. However, these grafts still have problems that are difficult to circumvent, such as metal implants that may require secondary surgical removal, lack of bone graft donors, and immune rejection. The rapid advance in tissue engineering and a better comprehension of the physiological mechanisms of bone regeneration have led to a new focus on promoting endogenous bone self-regeneration through the use of biomaterials as the medium. Although bone regeneration involves a variety of cells and signaling factors, and these complex signaling pathways and mechanisms of interaction have not been fully understood, macrophages undoubtedly play an essential role in bone regeneration. This review summarizes the design strategies that need to be considered for biomaterials to regulate macrophage function in bone regeneration. Subsequently, this review provides an overview of therapeutic strategies for biomaterials to intervene in all stages of bone regeneration by regulating macrophages.

Abstract
In the field of biomaterials, an endosseous implant is now recognized as an osteoimmunomodulatory but not bioinert biomaterial. Scientific advances in bone cell biology and in immunology have revealed a close relationship between the bone and immune systems resulting in a field of science called osteoimmunology. These discoveries have allowed for a novel interpretation of osseointegration as representing an osteoimmune reaction rather than a classic bone healing response, in which the activation state of macrophages ((M1-M2 polarization) appears to play a critical role. Through this viewpoint, the immune system is responsible for isolating the implant biomaterial foreign body by forming bone around the oral implant effectively shielding off the implant from the host bone system, i.e. osseointegration becomes a continuous and dynamic host defense reaction. At the same time, this has led to the proposal of a new model of osseointegration, the foreign body equilibrium (FBE). In addition, as an oral wound, the soft tissues are involved with all their innate immune characteristics. When implant integration is viewed as an osteoimmune reaction, this has implications for how marginal bone is regulated. For example, while bacteria are constitutive components of the soft tissue sulcus, if the inflammatory front and immune reaction is at some distance from the marginal bone, an equilibrium is established. If however, this inflammation approaches the marginal bone, an immune osteoclastic reaction occurs and marginal bone is removed. A number of clinical scenarios can be envisioned whereby the osteoimmune equilibrium is disturbed and marginal bone loss occurs, such as complications of aseptic nature and the synergistic activation of pro-inflammatory pathways (implant/wear debris, DAMPs, and PAMPs). Understanding that an implant is a foreign body and that the host reacts osteoimmunologically to shield off the implant allows for a distinction to be drawn between osteoimmunological conditions and peri-implant bone loss. This review will examine dental implant placement as an osteoimmune reaction and its implications for marginal bone loss.

Abstract
The inflammatory cascade after spinal cord injury (SCI) causes necrotizing apoptosis of local stem cells, which limits nerve regeneration. Therefore, coordinating the inflammatory immune response and neural stem cell (NSC) functions is key to promoting the recovery of central nervous system function. In this study, a hydrogel "perfusion" system and electrospinning technology are integrated, and a "concrete" composite support for the repair of nerve injuries is built. The hydrogel's hydrophilic properties activate macrophage integrin receptors to mediate polarization into anti-inflammatory subtypes and cause a 10% increase in polarized M2 macrophages, thus reprogramming the SCI immune microenvironment. Programmed stromal cell-derived factor-1α and brain-derived neurotrophic factor released from the composite increase recruitment and neuronal differentiation of NSCs by approximately four- and twofold, respectively. The fiber system regulates the SCI immune inflammatory microenvironment, recruits endogenous NSCs, promotes local blood vessel germination and maturation, and improves nerve function recovery in a rat SCI model. In conclusion, the engineering fiber composite improves the local inflammatory response. It promotes nerve regeneration through a hydrophilic programmed cytokine-delivery system, which further improves and supplements the immune response mechanism regulated by the inherent properties of the biomaterial. The new fiber composite may serve as a new treatment approach for SCI.

Abstract
Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS, a form of mechanical stimulation) can promote skeletal muscle functional repair, but a lack of mechanistic understanding of its relationship and tissue regeneration limits progress in this field. We investigated the hypothesis that specific energy levels of LIPUS mediates skeletal muscle regeneration by modulating the inflammatory microenvironment. Methods: To address these gaps, LIPUS irritation was applied in vivo for 5 min at two different intensities (30mW/cm2 and 60mW/cm2) in next 7 consecutive days, and the treatment begun at 24h after air drop-induced contusion injury. In vitro experiments, LIPUS irritation was applied at three different intensities (30mW/cm2, 45mW/cm2, and 60mW/cm2) for 2 times 24h after introduction of LPS in RAW264.7. Then, we comprehensively assessed the functional and histological parameters of skeletal muscle injury in mice and the phenotype shifting in macrophages through molecular biological methods and immunofluorescence analysis both in vivo and in vitro. Results: We reported that LIPUS therapy at intensity of 60mW/cm2 exhibited the most significant differences in functional recovery of contusion-injured muscle in mice. The comprehensive functional tests and histological analysis in vivo indirectly and directly proved the effectiveness of LIPUS for muscle recovery. Through biological methods and immunofluorescence analysis both in vivo and in vitro, we found that this improvement was attributable in part to the clearance of M1 macrophages populations and the increase in M2 subtypes with the change of macrophage-mediated factors. Depletion of macrophages in vivo eliminated the therapeutic effects of LIPUS, indicating that improvement in muscle function was the result of M2-shifted macrophage polarization. Moreover, the M2-inducing effects of LIPUS were proved partially through the WNT pathway by upregulating FZD5 expression and enhancing β-catenin nuclear translocation in macrophages both in vitro and in vivo. The inhibition and augment of WNT pathway in vitro further verified our results. Conclusion: LIPUS at intensity of 60mW/cm2 could significantly promoted skeletal muscle regeneration through shifting macrophage phenotype from M1 to M2. The ability of LIPUS to direct macrophage polarization may be a beneficial target in the clinical treatment of many injuries and inflammatory diseases.

Andrographolide suppresses breast cancer progression by modulating tumor-associated macrophage polarization through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Phytother Res 2022; 36:4587-4603. [PMID: 35916377 PMCID: PMC10086840 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.7578] [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: 11/08/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Andrographolide(ADE) has been demonstrated to inhibit tumor growth through direct cytotoxicity on tumor cells. However, its potential activity on tumor microenvironment (TME) remains unclear. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), composed mainly of M2 macrophages, are the key cells that create an immunosuppressive TME by secretion of cytokines, thus enhancing tumor progression. Re-polarized subpopulations of macrophages may represent vital new therapeutic alternatives. Our previous studies showed that ADE possessed anti-metastasis and anoikis-sensitization effects. Here, we demonstrated that ADE significantly suppressed M2-like polarization and enhanced M1-like polarization of macrophages. Moreover, ADE inhibited the migration of M2 and tube formation in HUVECs under M2 stimulation. In vivo studies showed that ADE restrained the growth of MDA-MB-231 and HCC1806 human breast tumor xenografts and 4T-1 mammary gland tumors through TAMs. Wnt5a/β-catenin pathway and MMPs were particularly associated with ADE's regulatory mechanisms to M2 according to RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, western blot also verified the expressions of these proteins were declined with ADE exposure. Among the cytokines released by M2, PDGF-AA and CCL2 were reduced. Our current findings for the first time elucidated that ADE could modulate macrophage polarization and function through Wnt5a signaling pathway, thereby playing its role in inhibition of triple-negative breast cancer.

Abstract
Osteoimmunology is at full display during endosseous implant osseointegration. Bone formation, maintenance and resorption at the implant surface is a result of bidirectional and dynamic reciprocal communication between the bone and immune cells that extends beyond the well-defined osteoblast-osteoclast signaling. Implant surface topography informs adherent progenitor and immune cell function and their cross-talk to modulate the process of bone accrual. Integrating titanium surface engineering with the principles of immunology is utilized to harness the power of immune system to improve osseointegration in healthy and diseased microenvironments. This review summarizes current information regarding immune cell-titanium implant surface interactions and places these events in the context of surface-mediated immunomodulation and bone regeneration. A mechanistic approach is directed in demonstrating the central role of osteoimmunology in the process of osseointegration and exploring how regulation of immune cell function at the implant-bone interface may be used in future control of clinical therapies. The process of peri-implant bone loss is also informed by immunomodulation at the implant surface. How surface topography is exploited to prevent osteoclastogenesis is considered herein with respect to peri-implant inflammation, osteoclastic precursor-surface interactions, and the upstream/downstream effects of surface topography on immune and progenitor cell function.

Rapid mineralization of graphene-based 3D porous scaffolds by semi-dry electrodeposition for photothermal treatment of tumor-induced bone defects. Acta Biomater 2022; 153:573-584. [PMID: 36130660 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.019] [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: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Graphene-based three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds have been extensively investigated in the photothermal treatment of tumor-induced bone defects due to their photothermal and osteogenic capacity. However, scaffold processing destroys conjugated graphene structure and reduces its photothermal conversion efficiency. In this study, a graphene-based 3D scaffold (GS) with intact conjugated structure was prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). GS was rapidly mineralized biomimetically by a newly developed semi-dry electrochemical deposition method to form a hydroxyapatite (HA) incorporated graphene scaffold (HA-GS). The simulation of the charged particle dynamics provides a better understanding of the mechanism of semi-dry electrodeposition. This scaffold exhibits high photothermal sensitivity that generates sufficient thermal energy for photothermal therapy even under near-infrared irradiation (980 nm) with extremely low power density (0.2 W/cm2). Moreover, osteogenic activity was improved by HA-GS compared with GS. Compared with the blank GS, the HA-GS scaffold deposited with HA also showed regulation of macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) and remodeled the immune microenvironment of the wound after photothermal therapy. In vivo experiments further verified that HA-GS can ablate osteosarcoma through a photothermal effect. These results suggest that the as-prepared HA-GS may be adopted as a promising multifunctional bone scaffold against tumor-induced bone defect. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The hydroxyapatite (HA) incorporated graphene scaffold (HA-GS) scaffold was prepared by semi-dry electrodeposition first time. The prepared HA-GS has a high photothermal conversion efficiency (it can rise to 48 oC under the 5 min irradiation of 980 nm near-infrared laser at 0.2 W/cm2). The mineralized layer prepared by semi-dry electrodeposition is not only osteoinductive, but also reduces the inflammatory response after photothermal therapy. This modulates the immune microenvironment at the bone tumor invasion site, thereby promoting defect repair.

Abstract
Macrophages are essential immune cells and play a major role in the immune response as pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory agents depending on their plasticity and functions. Infiltration and activation of macrophages are usually involved in wound healing. Herein, we first described macrophage polarization and their critical functions in wound healing process. It is addressed how macrophages collaborate with other immune cells in the wound microenvironment. Targeting macrophages by manipulating or re-educating macrophages in inflammation using nanomedicines is a novel and feasible strategy for wound management. We discussed the design and physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and their functions for macrophages activation and anti-inflammatory signaling during wound therapy. The mechanism of action of the strategies and appropriate examples are also summarized to highlight the pros and cons of those approaches. Finally, the potential of nanomedicines to modulate macrophage polarization for skin regeneration is discussed.

Abstract
Due to its favorable chemical stability, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties, Poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) is a promising material for repairing bone and dental hard tissue defects. However, there are critical disadvantages: PEEK is biologically and chemically inert, which influences osseointegration of implants and bonding strength of prostheses, and its mechanical properties still cannot meet the requirements for some medical applications. Furthermore, bacterial infections and inflammatory reactions often accompany bone defects caused by trauma or inflammation or teeth loss caused by periodontitis. Previous studies mainly focused on enhancing PEEK's bioactivity and mechanical performance, but PEEK also lacks effective anti-infection ability. Thus, it is necessary to improve its anti-infection ability, and this is considered in this paper from two aspects. The first is to inhibit the attachment and growth of bacteria on the material, and the second is to endow the material with immunoregulatory ability, which means mobilizing the host immune system to protect tissue from inflammation. In this review, we analyze and discuss the existing treatment methods to improve the antibacterial and immunomodulatory abilities of PEEK addressing their limitations, relevant future challenges, and required research efforts.

Exosomal miR-17-5p from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells inhibits abdominal aortic aneurysm by suppressing TXNIP-NLRP3 inflammasome. Stem Cell Res Ther 2022; 13:349.

Abstract
Background Preclinical studies have suggested that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) transplantation can suppress abdominal aortic inflammation and aneurysm expansion through paracrine factors. Yet, the mechanism of action is not fully understood. In the present study, we further examined the function and mechanism of ADSC-derived exosomes (ADSC-exos) and their microRNA-17-5p (miR-17-5p) on the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression. Methods ADSC-exos were isolated and identified. DiR and PKH67 staining were used to trace ADSC-exo in vivo and in vitro. Raw264.7 cells were applied to perform in vitro experiments, while a murine AAA model induced using angiotensin II (Ang II) was used for in vivo testing. The expression level of miR-17-5p in macrophages and Ang II-treated macrophages after ADSC-exos treatment was determined using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The target relation between miR-17-5p and thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) was identified by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Artificial activation and block of experiments of miR-17-5p and TXNIP were conducted to clarify their functions in inflammation during AAA progression. The severity of AAA between groups was assessed by maximal aorta diameter, AAA incidence, survival rate, and histological stainings. Besides, inflammasome-related proteins and macrophage pyroptosis were further evaluated using western blot, RT-qPCR, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The ADSC-exos were isolated and identified. In vivo testing showed that ADSC-exos were mainly distributed in the liver. Meanwhile, in vitro experiments suggested that ADSC-derived exosomes were taken up by macrophages, while inside, ADSC-exos miR-17-5p decreased a TXNIP induced by Ang II by directly binding to its 3′-untranslated region (3’UTR). Furthermore, overexpression of miR-17-5p enhanced the therapeutic function of ADSC-exos on inflammation during AAA expansion in vivo, while its inhibition reversed this process. Finally, overexpressed TXNIP triggered macrophage pyroptosis and was alleviated by ADSC-derived exosomes in vitro. Conclusion ADSC-exos miR-17-5p regulated AAA progression and inflammation via the TXNIP-NLRP3 signaling pathway, thus providing a novel insight in AAA treatment.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a mode of cell death that occurs in myocardial infarction (MI). Signals emanating from apoptotic cells are able to induce macrophage polarization through exosome-loading cargos, which plays a vital role in the process of disease. However, whether ferroptotic cardiomyocytes derived exosome (MI-Exo) during MI act on macrophage polarization and its mechanism remain unclear. In this study, a MI mouse model was established, and cardiac function evaluation and pathological staining were performed. The effect of MI-Exo on polarization of RAW264.7 cells was assessed by the expression of IL-10 and NOS2. Ferroptosis inhibitor of ferrostatin-1 was used to verify whether MI-Exo function was dependents on ferroptosis. Cardiac function and myocardial histomorphology were markedly impaired and massive immune cell infiltration in MI mice, compared with the sham group. The significantly increased MDA content and Fe2+ accumulation in the heart tissue of MI mice suggested cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Compared with the sham group, the expression of M1 marker NOS2 was significantly up-regulated and M2 marker IL-10 was significantly down-regulated in the heart tissue of MI mice. Exosome-derived from MI HL-1 cell-treated with ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1-Exo) and MI-Exo were internalized by RAW 264.7 cells. Compared with culture alone, co-cultured with MI-Exo significantly promoted NOS2 expression and suppressed IL-10 expression, and decreased proportion of Arginase-1-labeled M2 macrophages, also inhibited phagocytosis of RAW 264.7 cells. Wnt1 and β-cantenin expression also elevated after treated with MI-Exo. However, co-cultured with Fer-1-Exo significantly reversed the above changes on RAW 264.7 cells induced by MI-Exo. In conclusion, ferroptotic cardiomyocytes-derived exosome crosstalk macrophage to induce M1 polarization via Wnt/β-cantenin pathway, resulting in pathological progress in MI. This understanding provides novel therapeutic target for MI.

Abstract
Burn infection delays wound healing and increases the burn patient mortality. Consequently, a new dressing with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory dual properties is urgently required for wound healing. In this study, we propose a combination of methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel system with silver nanoparticles embed in γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (Ag@MOF) and hyaluronic acid-epigallocatechin gallate (HA-E) for the burn wound infection treatment. Ag@MOF is used as an antibacterial agent and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has exhibited biological properties of anti-inflammation and antibacterial. The GelMA/HA-E/Ag@MOF hydrogel enjoys suitable physical properties and sustained release of Ag+. Meanwhile, the hydrogel has excellent biocompatibility and could promote macrophage polarization from M1 to M2. In vivo wound healing evaluations further demonstrate that the GelMA/HA-E/Ag@MOF hydrogel reduces the number of the bacterium efficiently, accelerates wound healing, promotes early angiogenesis, and regulates immune reaction. A further evaluation indicates that the noncanonical Wnt signal pathway is significantly activated in the GelMA/HA-E/Ag@MOF hydrogel treated group. In conclusion, the GelMA/HA-E/Ag@MOF hydrogel could serve as a promising multifunctional dressing for the burn wound healing.

Abstract
In recent years, therapeutic strategies based on macrophages have been inspiringly developed, but due to the high intricacy and immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment, the widespread use of these strategies still faces significant challenges. Herein, an artificial assembled macrophage concept (AB@LM) was presented to imitate the main antitumor abilities of macrophages of tumor targeting, promoting the antitumor immunity, and direct tumor-killing effects. The artificial assembled macrophage (AB@LM) was prepared through an extrusion method, which is to fuse the macrophage membrane with abemaciclib and black phosphorus quantum dot (BPQD)-loaded liposomes. AB@LM showed good stability and tumor targeting ability with the help of macrophage membrane. Furthermore, AB@LM reversed the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by inhibiting regulatory T cells (Tregs) and stimulating the maturation of antigen-presenting cells to activate the antitumor immune response through triggering an immunogenic cell death effect. More importantly, in the colorectal tumor model in vivo, a strong cooperative therapeutic effect of photo/chemo/immunotherapy was observed with high tumor inhibition rate (95.3 ± 2.05%). In conclusion, AB@LM exhibits excellent antitumor efficacy by intelligently mimicking the abilities of macrophages. A promising therapeutic strategy for tumor treatment based on imitating macrophages was provided in this study.

Abstract
The immunoinflammatory response is the prerequisite step for wound healing and tissue regeneration, and the immunomodulatory effects of biomaterials have attracted increasing attention. Hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2] (HAp), a common calcium phosphate ceramic, due to its structural and functional similarity to the inorganic constituent of natural bones, has been developed for different application purposes such as bone substitutes, tissue engineering scaffolds, and implant coatings. Recently, the interaction between HAp-based materials and the immune system (various immune cells), and the immunomodulatory effects of HAp-based materials on bone tissue regeneration have been explored extensively. Macrophages-mediated regenerative effect by HAp stimulation occupies the mainstream status of immunomodulatory strategies. The immunomodulation of HAp can be manipulated by tuning the physical, chemical, and biological cues such as surface functionalization (physical or chemical modifications), structural and textural characteristics (size, shape, and surface topography), and the incorporation of bioactive substances (cytokines, rare-earth elements, and bioactive ions). Therefore, HAp ceramic materials can contribute to bone regeneration by creating a favorable osteoimmune microenvironment, which would provide a more comprehensive theoretical basis for their further clinical applications. Considering the rapidly developed HAp-based materials as well as their excellent biological performances in the field of regenerative medicine, this review discusses the recent advances concerning the immunomodulatory methods for HAp-based biomaterials and their roles in bone tissue regeneration.

A Review of Biomimetic Topographies and Their Role in Promoting Bone Formation and Osseointegration: Implications for Clinical Use. Biomimetics (Basel) 2022; 7:biomimetics7020046. [PMID: 35466263 PMCID: PMC9036271 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics7020046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of metallic and polymeric materials for implants has been increasing over the past decade. This trend can be attributed to a variety of factors including a significant increase in basic science research focused on implant material characteristics and how various surface modifications may stimulate osseointegration and, ultimately, fusion. There are many interbody fusion devices and dental implants commercially available; however, detailed information about their surface properties, and the effects that various materials and surface modifications may have on osteogenesis, is lacking in the literature. While the concept of bone-implant osseointegration is a relatively recent addition to the spine fusion literature, there is a comparatively large body of literature related to dental implants. The purpose of this article is to summarize the science of surface modified bone-facing implants, focusing on biomimetic material chemistry and topography of titanium implants, to promote a better understanding of how these characteristics may impact bone formation and osseointegration. This manuscript has the following aspects: highlights the role of titanium and its alloys as potent osteoconductive bioactive materials; explores the importance of biomimetic surface topography at the macro-, micro- and nano-scale; summarizes how material surface design can influence osteogenesis and immune responses in vitro; focuses on the kinds of surface modifications that play a role in the process. Biomimetic surface modifications can be varied across many clinically available biomaterials, and the literature supports the hypothesis that those biomaterial surfaces that exhibit physical properties of bone resorption pits, such as roughness and complex hierarchical structures at the submicron and nanoscale, are more effective in supporting osteoblast differentiation in vitro and osteogenesis in vivo.

NEAT1 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles promotes melanoma by inducing M2 macrophage polarization. Cancer Gene Ther 2022; 29:1228-1239. [PMID: 35115683 DOI: 10.1038/s41417-021-00392-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) reportedly play an important role in melanoma pathogenesis. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms of EVs-carried long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NEAT1 involvement in melanoma. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments were performed to determine biological characteristics of A-375 melanoma cells. Bioinfomatic prediction, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and dual luciferase reporter gene experiments were applied to investigate the roles of NEAT1 and microRNA-374a-5p (miR-374a-5p), and leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4). A subcutaneous tumor model was constructed using nude mice, and in vivo fluorescence imaging was used to observe the effect of NEAT1 on the growth and metastasis of melanoma cells in vivo. The results indicated that BMSC-EVs could be internalized by macrophages to promote the expression of macrophages M2 markers. M2 type macrophages promoted malignancy of melanoma cells. NEAT1 derived from BMSC-EVs promoted the progression of melanoma by promoting M2 polarization of macrophages. NEAT1 inhibits miR-374 expression, while miR-374 could upregulate LGR4-dependent IQGAP1 expression. The tumor-inhibiting effect of NEAT1 silencing was validated in the nude mouse xenograft model. Collectively, the results demonstrated that BMSC-EVs carrying NEAT1 can promote the progression of melanoma by inducing M2 polarization of macrophages, and thus may be considered as a potential target for melanoma therapeutics.

Abstract
This essay analyzes the scientific evidence that forms the basis of bioactive materials, covering the fundamental understanding of bioactivity phenomena and correlation with the mechanisms of biocompatibility of biomaterials. This is a detailed assessment of performance in areas such as bone-induction, cell adhesion, immunomodulation, thrombogenicity and antimicrobial behavior. Bioactivity is the modulation of biological activity by characteristics of the interfacial region that incorporates the material surface and the immediate local host tissue. Although the term ‘bioactive material’ is widely used and has a well understood general meaning, it would be useful now to concentrate on this interfacial region, considered as ‘the bioactivity zone’. Bioactivity phenomena are either due to topographical/micromechanical characteristics, or to biologically active species that are presented in the bioactivity zone. Examples of topographical/micromechanical effects are the modulation of the osteoblast – osteoclast balance, nanotopographical regulation of cell adhesion, and bactericidal nanostructures. Regulation of bioactivity by biologically active species include their influence, especially of metal ions, on signaling pathways in bone formation, the role of cell adhesion molecules and bioactive peptides in cell attachment, macrophage polarization by immunoregulatory molecules and antimicrobial peptides. While much experimental data exists to demonstrate the potential of such phenomena, there are considerable barriers to their effective clinical translation. This essay shows that there is solid scientific evidence of the existence of bioactivity mechanisms that are associated with some types of biomaterials, especially when the material is modified in a manner designed to specifically induce that activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Smoking is a known contributor to the failure of dental implants. Despite a decline in cigarette use, the popularity of e-cigarettes has exploded. However, little is known about how e-cigarettes affect the biologic response to implants. This study examines the effect of e-cigarette aerosol mixtures (ecig-AM) on macrophage activation and osteoblastogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in response to titanium (Ti) implant surfaces. METHODS Ecig-AMs were prepared by bubbling aerosol through PBS. Human-derived MSCs or murine-derived macrophages were plated on smooth, rough-hydrophobic, or rough-hydrophilic Ti surfaces in media supplemented with ecig-AM. In macrophages, expression of inflammatory markers was measured by qPCR and macrophage immunophenotype characterized by flow cytometry after 24 hours of exposure. In MSCs, expression of osteogenic markers and inflammatory cytokines was measured by qPCR and ELISA, while alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) was determined by colorimetric assay. RESULTS Ecig-AM polarized primary macrophages into a pro-inflammatory state with higher effect on ecig-AM with flavorants and nicotine. Metabolic activity of MSCs decreased in a concentration dependent fashion and was stronger in ecig-AM containing nicotine. MSCs reduced expression of osteogenic markers in response to ecig-AM, but increased RANKL secretion, particularly at the highest ecig-AM concentrations. The effect of ecig-AM exposure was lessened when macrophages or MSCs were cultured on rough-hydrophilic substrates. SIGNIFICANCE Ecig-AM activated macrophages into a pro-inflammatory phenotype and impaired MSC-to-osteoblast differentiation in response to Ti implant surfaces. These effects were potentiated by flavorants and nicotine, suggesting that e-cigarette use may compromise the osseointegration of dental implants.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease closely related to the function of endothelial cells (ECs), monocytes/macrophages, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Despite a good understanding of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still only poorly understood. Therefore, atherosclerosis continues to be an important clinical issue worthy of further research. Recent evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) can serve as important regulators of cellular function in atherosclerosis. Besides, several studies have shown that lncRNAs are partly dependent on the specific interaction with RBPs to exert their function. This review summarizes the important contributions of lncRNAs and RBPs in atherosclerosis and provides novel and comprehensible interaction models of lncRNAs and RBPs.

Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of a cardiovascular device after implantation is highly dependent on the host-initiated complement and coagulation cascade. Both can eventually trigger thrombosis and inflammation. Therefore, understanding these initial responses of the body is of great importance for newly developed biomaterials. Subtle modulation of the associated biological processes could optimize clinical outcomes. However, our failure to produce truly blood compatible materials may reflect our inability to properly understand the mechanisms of thrombosis and inflammation associated with biomaterials. In vitro models mimicking these processes provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of biomaterial-induced complement activation and coagulation. Here, we review (i) the influence of biomaterials on complement and coagulation cascades, (ii) the significance of complement-coagulation interactions for the clinical success of cardiovascular implants, (iii) the modulation of complement activation by surface modifications, and (iv) in vitro testing strategies.
