Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and titanium alloy are the most common metal materials in clinical orthopedic surgery. However, in the initial stage of surgery and implantation, the production of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce oxidative stress (OS) microenvironment. OS will further inhibit the growth of new bone, resulting in surgical failure. In this study, based on the fact that nanoscale manganese dioxide (MnO2) can show H2O2-like enzyme activity, a MnO2 nanocoating was prepared on mciro-nano structured surface of Ti substrate via a two-step method of alkaline thermal and hydrothermal treatment. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the nano-MnO2 coating was successfully fabricated on the surface of Ti substrate. The results of measurement of H2O2, dissolved O2 and intracellular ROS in vitro showed that the treated Ti substrate could efficiently eliminate H2O2 and reduce ROS. Furthermore, the modified Ti substrate could promote the early adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, which was demonstrated by experimental results of cell morphology, cell viability, alkaline phosphatase, collagen, and mineralization deposition. The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of MSCs adhered the modified Ti substrate showed that the expression of genes related to osteogenic differentiation significantly increased. More importantly, the modified Ti implant could eliminate ROS at the injury site, reduce OS and promote the regeneration of bone tissue, which was demonstrated via hematoxylin/eosin, Masson's trichrome and immunohistochemical staining. In conclusion, the modified Ti implant presented here had the effect of reducing OS and promoting osseointegration. Relevant research ideas and results provide new methods for the research and development of functional implants, which have potential application value in the field of orthopedics.

Abstract
In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres were used as the raw material to construct bulk implants with surface microtopography through hot pressing and heat treatment, and the microtopographical structures were regulated through the sizes of the PLA microspheres. The surface microtopographies of PLA implants were successfully constructed using micron-sized bulges, which showed a wave-like structure. The ridge width of bulges ranged from 1.64 ± 0.16 µm to 82.52 ± 14.38 µm and the valley depth ranged from 0.49 ± 0.07 µm to 37.35 ± 6.78 µm according to the sizes of microspheres. The nanoindentation tests showed that the modulus and hardness of PLA implants were gradually increased with the decrease in microsphere sizes. The surface microtopography resulted in a slight increase in the hydrophobicity of the PLA implants, but no significant differences were observed. Cells cultured on the implant surface with microtopography exhibited varying morphological responses, and significantly increased osteogenic activity was observed relative to a PLA flat film. This study demonstrated that the surface microtopography derived from PLA microspheres could regulate cellular response and activate osteogenic properties of PLA implants.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) serve as essential components of regenerative medicine. Their destiny is influenced by the interaction of the cells with the external environment. In addition to the biochemical cues in a microenvironment, physical cues of the topography of the surrounding materials such as the extracellular matrix emerge as a crucial regulator of stem cell destiny and function. With recent advances in technologies of materials production and surface modification, surfaces with micro/nanotopographical characteristics can be fabricated to mimic the micro/nanoscale mechanical stimuli of the extracellular matrix environment and regulate the biological behavior of cells. Understanding the interaction of cells with the topography of a surface is conducive to the control of stem cell fate for application in regenerative medicine. However, the mechanisms by which topography affects the biological behavior of stem cells have not been fully elucidated. This review will present the effects of surface topography at the nano/micrometer scale on stem cell adhesion, morphology, proliferation, migration, and differentiation. It also focuses on discussing current theories about the sensing and recognition of surface topology cues, the transduction of the extracellular cues into plasma, and the final activation of related signaling pathways and downstream gene expression in MSCs. These insights will provide a theoretical basis for the future design of biomaterial scaffolds for application in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Breakthroughs in the field of nanotechnology, especially in nanochemistry and nanofabrication technologies, have been attracting much attention, and various nanomaterials have recently been developed for biomedical applications. Among these nanomaterials, nanoscale titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) has been widely valued in stomatology due to the fact of its excellent biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, and photocatalytic activity as well as its potential use for applications such as dental implant surface modification, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, drug delivery carrier, dental material additives, and oral tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, the biosafety of nano-TiO2 is controversial and has become a key constraint in the development of nano-TiO2 applications in stomatology. Therefore, in this review, we summarize recent research regarding the applications of nano-TiO2 in stomatology, with an emphasis on its performance characteristics in different fields, and evaluations of the biological security of nano-TiO2 applications. In addition, we discuss the challenges, prospects, and future research directions regarding applications of nano-TiO2 in stomatology that are significant and worthy of further exploration.

Fabrication of an ordered micro-/nanotextured titanium surface to improve osseointegration. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 214:112446.

Abstract
Ordered microscale titanium (Ti) surface topography with homogeneous cell-sized microholes (20 µm in diameter) was fabricated using simple electrochemical etching. The as-prepared surface imposed with uniform titania nanotubes (TNTs, 70 nm in diameter) through electrochemical anodization showed no considerable change in the initial microscale morphology. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were used in evaluating the bioactivity. Compared with polished Ti and unordered microtextured Ti, the ordered microtextured Ti formed by electrochemical etching remarkably promoted cell attachment, alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen secretion, extracellular matrix mineralization, and osteogenesis-related gene expression but considerably inhibited cell proliferation. After TNTs were introduced to the ordered microtextured Ti, cell attachment and osteogenic differentiation indexes were further enhanced, and cell proliferation recovered over time. The ordered micro-/nanotextured Ti surface was more conducive to the cell attachment, proliferation, and osteogenesis of BMSCs than polished Ti with and without TNTs, unordered microtextured Ti with and without TNTs, and unitary ordered microtextured Ti. Thus, the novel ordered bio-inspired micro-/nanotextured structure composed of cell-sized microholes and TNTs on the Ti surface possessed a favorable interfacial environment that improved osseointegration, potentially optimizing Ti implant surface topography.

Abstract
Advanced implants with simultaneous accelerated osteogenic and angiogenic capacities are of great importance for osteointegration. Much attention has been paid to simultaneously enhancing the osteogenesis and angiogenesis by surface decoration of bioactive molecules or ions on biomaterial surface, but the inherent physical cue of material surface down to the atomic-scale features have always been ignored. In this study, we demonstrate that regulation of surface oxygen vacancies defects of rutile nanorods are able to simultaneous accelerate the osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The concentration of surface oxygen vacancies defects of rutile nanorods can be manipulated by simple redox processing. The osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), angiogenic differentiation and vessel-like tube structures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) on oxygen vacancies rich surface are significantly up-regulated. This work therefore emphasizes the critical role of the inherent material atomic-scale features and provides a novel strategy to accelerate the osteogenesis and angiogenesis of Ti-based implant.

Abstract
Excessive accumulation of oxidative intermediates in the elderly significantly aggravates bone degradation and hinders the osseointegration of topological titanium (Ti) implants. Thus, it is of great significance to evaluate the antioxidant and osteoinduction capabilities of various nano, micro or micro/nano-composite structures under oxidative stress (OS) microenvironment. In this study, we discovered that 110 nm titania nanotubes (TNTs) enhanced the adsorption of fibronectin (FN) proteins onto smooth and rough titanium surfaces to varying degrees. Compared with Ti and 30 nm TNTs (T30) groups, cells on 110 nm TNTs (T110), microstructure/30 nm TNTs (M30) and microstructure/110 nm TNTs (M110) had smaller area, lower reactive oxygen species (ROS), and better proliferation/osteogenic differentiation abilities under OS condition, but there was no significant difference among the three groups. In addition, combined with our previous study, we suggested that T110, M30 and M110 resistance to OS was also strongly associated with the high expression of FN-receptor integrin α5 or β1. All the findings indicated that the micro/nano-composed structures (M30 & M110) had similar anti-oxidation and osteogenesis abilities to T110, which provided guidance for the application of different titanium implants with different topologies in the elderly.

Abstract
Micro/nano-topography (MNT) can promote osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, but the mechanism of topographical signaling transduction remains unclear. We have confirmed MNT, as a stressor, triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and activates unfolded protein response in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and such topography-induced ER stress promotes osteogenic differentiation. In order to reveal the influence of nanotube dimensions on ER stress, MNTs containing vertically oriented TiO2 nanotubes of diameters ranging from 30 nm to 100 nm were fabricated on pure titanium (Ti) foils, and ER stress and osteogenic differentiation of cells were systematically studied. After 12 h of cultivation, the transmission electron microscopy showed that cells on MNTs presented gross distortions of rough ER morphology containing the electron-dense material, and the expansion of the ER lumen became more pronounced as the dimension of nanotubes increased. Additionally, PCR and western blotting showed that the ER stress-related gene, the ER chaperone 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein, also known as binding-immunoglobulin protein (GRP78/BiP), was up-regulated, which was consistent with the osteogenesis-inducing ability of MNTs. Based on our previous studies, the findings in this article further revealed the mechanism for topographical cues modulating osteogenic differentiation of cells, which may provide an innovative approach for the optimal design of implant surface topography.

Abstract
Nanostructured titanium implants are recognized for inducing osteogenesis, but the cell signal transductions related to topography are not fully understood. Implant topography is associated with the functionality of osteogenic transcription factors directed by β-catenin in the nucleus, and autophagic flux in the cytoplasm; YAP (Yes-associated protein) is implicated in the destruction of β-catenin in the cytoplasm and is susceptible to autophagic flux. This study investigated whether surface topography of the titanium implant modulates autophagy-lysosome degradation of cytoplasmic YAP. Titanium surfaces were modified with smooth, micro, or nanotopographies. Compared with the smooth and micro surfaces, nanotopography was associated with higher β-catenin nuclear translocation, osteogenic differentiation, and autophagy, and less cytoplasmic YAP. Blockade of the autophagy-lysosome pathway resulted in YAP retention in MC3T3-E1 cells. Cytoplasmic YAP restricted β-catenin nuclear translocation. In the nano surface group, β-catenin accumulation in the nucleus and expression of osteogenesis genes was improved. However, in the absence of cell-cell (confluent) contact, manipulation of YAP and β-catenin localization associated with topography-induced autophagy was lost. In summary, the osteogenesis observed in response to titanium implants with nanotopography involves a signaling link between YAP and β-catenin. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Titanium with rough topographical surfaces is extensively applied in orthopedic and dental clinics. However, the cellular response to topographies that promotes osteogenesis and underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we modified titanium surfaces to produce smooth, micro, or nano topographies. Experiments indicated that the nanotopography induced a stronger autophagic response, leading to degraded cytoplasmic YAP. With the lower levels of YAP, β-catenin transported and accumulated in the nucleus to activate TCF/LEF transcription factors, resulting in stronger osteogenesis. Additionally, cell-cell contact was essential in the autophagy-mediated signaling link between YAP and β-catenin. Consequently, our investigation revealed a novel signal transduction in nanotopography-regulated osteogenesis, and supports the modification of biomaterial surfaces to maximize osseointegration.

Abstract
Background As a member of the zinc-finger E-box binding protein (ZEB) family, ZEB1 can modulate onset and progression of various tumors, but its regulatory effect or mechanism in GC has not been defined. Material/Methods GC tumor tissues and adjacent tissues were collected from GC patients across different TNM stages. Real-time PCR was used to measure ZEB1 expression to analyze its correlation with pathological features of tumors. Cultured GC cell lines SGC-7901 and MGC-803 were randomly assigned into control group, scramble group, and ZEB1 siRNA group. Real-time PCR was employed to analyze ZEB1 expression, and MTT approach was used to measure cell proliferation. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry. Wound healing assay was used to detect its effect on cell migration. Expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin involved in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was measured by Western blot analysis, along with Wnt5a proteins. Results GC tissues had upregulation of ZEB1 (P<0.05 compared to adjacent tissues), whose expression level was correlated with differentiation grade, lymph node metastasis, and tumor pathological stage (P<0.05). Transfection of ZEB1 siRNA into SGC-7901 or MGC-803 cells can suppress ZEB1 expression, inhibit tumor cell proliferation, enhance apoptosis, and inhibit cell migration. Transfected GC cells had higher E-cadherin expression and decreased Vimentin expression or Wnt5a expression (P<0.05 compared to the control group). Conclusions ZEB1 expression is increased in GC tumor tissues and is associated with pathological features. The downregulation of ZEB1 can facilitate cell apoptosis via mediating Wnt5a, further suppressing GC cell proliferation and migration, and reducing EMT occurrence.

Abstract
The clinical success of a titanium (Ti) percutaneous implant requires the integration with soft tissues to form a biological seal, which effectively combats marsupialization, premigration and infection after implantation. However, the bioinert surface of Ti or its alloys prevents the material from sufficient biological sealing and limits the application of Ti or its alloys as percutaneous implants. In this study, we achieved a collagen coating to bioactivate the surface of Ti-6Al-4V. In order to enable covalent functionalization, we first deposited a polydopamine (PDA) coating on Ti-6Al-4V based on dopamine self-polymerization and then immobilized collagen chains on PDA. Compared with physical absorption, such a chemical bonding method through mussel-inspired chemistry showed better stability of the coating. Meanwhile, the cellular tests in vitro indicated that collagen functionalization on the Ti-6Al-4V surface showed better adhesion of human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) and human immortal keratinocytes (HaCaTs). The subcutaneous implantation tests in rats indicated that the collagen modification attenuated soft tissue response and improved tissue compatibility compared with either pure Ti-6Al-4V or merely PDA coated samples. The facile bioinspired approach enables a persistent modification of metals by macromolecules under aqueous environments, and the PDA-collagen coated titanium alloy is worthy of further investigation as a percutaneous implant.

Abstract
It is well known that biomaterial topography can exert a profound influence on various cellular functions such as migration, polarization, and adhesion. With the development and refinement of manufacturing technology, much research has recently been focused on substrate topography-induced cell differentiation, particularly in the field of tissue engineering. Even without biological and chemical stimuli, the differentiation of stem cells can also be initiated by various biomaterials with different topographic features. However, the underlying mechanisms of this biological phenomenon remain elusive. During the past few decades, many researchers have demonstrated that cells can sense the topography of materials through the assembly and polymerization of membrane proteins. Following the activation of RHO, TGF-b or FAK signaling pathways, cells can be induced into various differentiation states. But these signaling pathways often coincide with canonical mechanical transduction pathways, and no firm conclusion has been reached among researchers in this field on topography-specific signaling pathways. On the other hand, some substrate topographies are reported to have the ability to inhibit differentiation and maintain the 'stemness' of stem cells. In this review, we will summarize the role of topography in musculoskeletal system regeneration and explore possible topography-related signaling pathways involved in cell differentiation.
