Human Whole Blood Interactions with Craniomaxillofacial Reconstruction Materials: Exploring In Vitro the Role of Blood Cascades and Leukocytes in Early Healing Events. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:361. [PMID: 37504856 PMCID: PMC10381968 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14070361] [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: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study investigated early interactions between three alloplastic materials (calcium phosphate (CaP), titanium alloy (Ti), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with human whole blood using an established in vitro slide chamber model. After 60 min of contact with blood, coagulation (thrombin-antithrombin complexes, TAT) was initiated on all test materials (Ti > PEEK > CaP), with a significant increase only for Ti. All materials showed increased contact activation, with the KK-AT complex significantly increasing for CaP (p < 0.001), Ti (p < 0.01), and PEEK (p < 0.01) while only CaP demonstrated a notable rise in KK-C1INH production (p < 0.01). The complement system had significant activation across all materials, with CaP (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001) generating the most pronounced levels of C3a and sC5b-9, followed by Ti (p < 0.001, p < 0.001) and lastly, PEEK (p < 0.001, p < 0.01). This activation correlated with leukocyte stimulation, particularly myeloperoxidase release. Consequently, the complement system may assume a more significant role in the early stages post implantation in response to CaP materials than previously recognized. Activation of the complement system and the inevitable activation of leukocytes might provide a more favorable environment for tissue remodeling and repair than has been traditionally acknowledged. While these findings are limited to the early blood response, complement and leukocyte activation suggest improved healing outcomes, which may impact long-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The skin, the largest organ in the human body, mainly plays a protective role. Once damaged, it can lead to acute or chronic wounds. Wound healing involves a series of complex physiological processes that require ideal wound dressings to promote it. The current wound dressings have characteristics such as high porosity and moderate water vapor permeability, but they are limited in antibacterial properties and cannot protect wounds from microbial infections, which can delay wound healing. In addition, several dressings contain antibiotics, which may have bad impacts on patients. Natural active substances have good biocompatibility; for example, ginsenoside Rg3 has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and other biological activities, which can effectively promote wound healing. Some researchers have developed various polymer wound dressings loaded with ginsenoside Rg3 that have good biocompatibility and can effectively promote wound healing and reduce scar formation. This article will focus on the application and mechanism of ginsenoside Rg3-loaded dressings in wounds.

Abstract
Vasoactive peptides often serve a multitude of functions aside from their direct effects on vasodynamics. This article will review the existing literature on two vasoactive peptides and their involvement in skin homeostasis: adiponectin and-as the main representative of the kallikrein-kinin system-bradykinin. Adiponectin is the most abundantly expressed adipokine in the human organism, where it is mainly localized in fat depots including subcutaneous adipose tissue, from where adiponectin can exert paracrine effects. The involvement of adiponectin in skin homeostasis is supported by a number of studies reporting the effects of adiponectin in isolated human keratinocytes, sebocytes, fibroblasts, melanocytes, and immune cells. Regarding skin pathology, the potential involvement of adiponectin in psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, scleroderma, keloid, and melanogenesis is discussed in this article. The kallikrein-kinin system is composed of a variety of enzymes and peptides, most of which have been identified to be expressed in the skin. This also includes the expression of bradykinin receptors on most skin cells. Bradykinin is one of the very few hormones that is targeted by treatment in routine clinical use in dermatology-in this case for the treatment of hereditary angioedema. The potential involvement of bradykinin in wound healing, psoriasis, and melanoma is further discussed in this article. This review concludes with a call for additional preclinical and clinical studies to further explore the therapeutic potential of adiponectin supplementation (for psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, wound healing, scleroderma, and keloid) or pharmacological interference with the kallikrein-kinin system (for wound healing, psoriasis, and melanoma).

Abstract
The epidermis is the outermost skin layer and is part of one of the largest organs in the body; it is supported by the dermis, a network of fibrils, blood vessels, pilosebaceous units, sweat glands, nerves, and cells. The skin as a whole is a protective shield against numerous noxious agents, including microorganisms and chemical and physical factors. These functions rely on the activity of multiple growth factors, peptide hormones, proteases, and specific signaling pathways that are triggered by the activation of distinct types of receptors sited in the cell membranes of the various cell types present in the skin. The human kallikrein family comprises a large group of 15 serine proteases synthesized and secreted by different types of epithelial cells throughout the body, including the skin. At this site, they initiate a proteolytic cascade that generates the active forms of the proteases, some of which regulate skin desquamation, activation of cytokines, and antimicrobial peptides. Kinin peptides are formed by the action of plasma and tissue kallikreins on kininogens, two plasma proteins produced in the liver and other organs. Although kinins are well known for their proinflammatory abilities, in the skin they are also considered important modulators of keratinocyte differentiation. In this review, we summarize the contributions of the kallikreins and kallikrein-related peptidases family and those of kinins and their receptors in skin homeostasis, with special emphasis on their pathophysiological role.

Abstract
Female sex hormones are beneficial effects for wound healing. However, till date, whether topical estrogen application can promote cutaneous wound healing in diabetes remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to validate the effect of topical estrogen application on cutaneous wound healing in a type 2 diabetes db/db mice model. In total, 22 db/db female mice with type 2 diabetes and eight C57BL/6J female mice were subjected to two full-thickness wound injuries. The mice were divided into the db/db, db/db + estrogen, db/db + vehicle, and wild type (WT) groups. Wound healing was assessed until day 14. The db/db group had a significantly high wound area ratio (wound area/initial wound area) on days 3–14 and a significantly low re-epithelialization ratio on days 7 and 14. Moreover, their angiogenesis ratio was significantly low on day 7 and high on day 14. In contrast, compared with the db/db group, the db/db + estrogen group had a significantly lower wound area ratio on days 1–14 and angiogenesis ratio on day 14, thereby indicating early withdrawal of new blood vessels, as well as a significantly higher re-epithelialization ratio on days 7 and 14 and Ym1+ M2 macrophage/macrophage ratio on day 7. Moreover, microarray analysis showed that the top 10 upregulated or downregulated genes in the db/db group were reversed by estrogen treatment, particularly on day 14, in comparison with the WT group. Thus, topical estrogen application reduced the wound area, promoted re-epithelialization and angiogenesis, and increased the number of M2 macrophages in mice with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, it improved the differential regulation of genes in db/db mice. Therefore, such treatment can enhance cutaneous wound healing in female mice with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The entire kallikrein-kinin system is present in the skin, and it is thought to exert a relevant role in cutaneous diseases, including psoriasis. The present study was designed to evaluate the relevance of kinin receptors in the development and progression of a model of psoriasis in mice. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The effects of kinin B1 and B2 receptor knockout and of kinin receptor antagonists (SSR240612C or FR173657) were assessed in a model of psoriasis induced by imiquimod in C57BL/6 mice. Severity of psoriasis was assessed by histological and immunohistochemical assays of skin, along with objective scores based on the clinical psoriasis area and severity index. KEY RESULTS Both kinin receptors were up-regulated following 6 days of imiquimod treatment. Kinin B1 and B2 receptor deficiency and the use of selective antagonists show morphological and histological improvement of the psoriasis hallmarks. This protective effect was associated with a decrease in undifferentiated and proliferating keratinocytes, decreased cellularity (neutrophils, macrophages, and CD4+ T lymphocytes), reduced γδ T cells, and lower accumulation of IL-17. The lack of B2 receptors resulted in reduced CD8+ T cells in the psoriatic skin. Relevantly, blocking kinin receptors reflected the improvement of psoriasis disease in the well-being behaviour of the mice. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Kinins exerted critical roles in imiquimod-induced psoriasis. Both B1 and B2 kinin receptors exacerbated the disease, influencing keratinocyte proliferation and immunopathology. Antagonists of one or even both kinin receptors might constitute a new strategy for the clinical treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome type-I (CRPS-I) is a chronic painful condition resulting from trauma. Bradykinin (BK) is an important inflammatory mediator required in acute and chronic pain response. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between BK receptors (B1 and B2) and chronic post-ischaemia pain (CPIP) development in mice, a widely accepted CRPS-I model. We assessed mechanical and cold allodynia, and paw oedema in male and female Swiss mice exposed to the CPIP model. Upon induction, the animals were treated with BKR antagonists (HOE-140 and DALBK); BKR agonists (Tyr-BK and DABK); antisense oligonucleotides targeting B1 and B2 and captopril by different routes in the model (7, 14 and 21 days post-induction). Here, we demonstrated that treatment with BKR antagonists, by intraperitoneal (i.p.), intraplantar (i.pl.), and intrathecal (i.t.) routes, mitigated CPIP-induced mechanical allodynia and oedematogenic response, but not cold allodynia. On the other hand, i.pl. administration of BKR agonists exacerbated pain response. Moreover, a single treatment with captopril significantly reversed the anti-allodynic effect of BKR antagonists. In turn, the inhibition of BKRs gene expression in the spinal cord inhibited the nociceptive behaviour in the 14th post-induction. The results of the present study suggest the participation of BKRs in the development and maintenance of chronic pain associated with the CPIP model, possibly linking them to CRPS-I pathogenesis.

Abstract
As the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis is playing a major role in organism homeostasis providing the first barrier against external aggressions. Although considered as an extracellular matrix (ECM)-poor subtissue, the epidermal microenvironment is a key regulator of skin homeostasis and functionality. Among the proteins essential for upholding the epidermal microenvironment are the members of the kallikrein (KLK) family composed of 15 secreted serine proteases. Most of the members of these epithelial-specific proteins are present in skin and regulate skin desquamation and inflammation. However, although epidermal products, the consequences of KLK activities are not confined to the epidermis but widespread in the skin. In this review starting with the location and proteolytic activation cascade of KLKs, we present KLKs involvement in skin homeostasis, regeneration and pathology. KLKs have a large variety of substrates including ECM proteins, and evidence suggests that they are involved in the different steps of skin wound healing as discussed here. KLKs are also used as prognosis/diagnosis markers for many cancer types and we are focusing later on KLKs in cutaneous cancers, although their pathogenicity remains to be fully elucidated. Dysregulation of the KLK cascade is directly responsible for skin diseases with heavy inflammatory aspects, highlighting their involvement in skin immune homeostasis. Future studies will be needed to support the therapeutic potential of adjusting KLK activities for treatment of inflammatory skin diseases and wound healing pathologies. Regulation of the microenvironment even in an extracellular matrix-poor tissue can heavily impact organ function. Extracellular activities of kallikreins maintain skin homeostasis by regulating desquamation and inflammation. The activation of skin epidermal-specific kallikrein family of proteases is regulated by an intricate proteolytic cascade. Kallikreins are emerging as players during skin wound healing. Dysregulated kallikrein expression and activity occur in cancers and inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
In general, the systems intended for the treatment and recovery of wounds, seek to act as a coating for the damaged area, maintaining an adequate level of humidity, reducing pain, and preventing the invasion and proliferation of microorganisms. Although many of the systems that are currently on the market meet the purposes mentioned above, with the arrival of nanotechnology, it has sought to improve the performance of these coatings. The variety of nano-systems that have been proposed is very extensive, including the use of very different materials (natural or synthetic) ranging from polymers or lipids to systems derived from microorganisms. With the objective of improving the performance of the systems, seeking to combat several of the problems that arise in a wound, especially when it is chronic, these materials have been combined, giving rise to nanocomposites or scaffolds. In recent years, the interest in the development of systems for the treatment of wounds is notable, which is reflected in the increase in publications related to the subject. Therefore, this document presents generalities of systems involving nanocarriers, mentioning some examples of representative systems of each case.

Abstract
In the human neutrophil, kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) have a significant functional relationship with the classical kinin system as a kinin B1 receptor agonist induces secretion of KLK1, KLK6, KLK10, KLK13 and KLK14 into the medium. Secretion of KLK1, the kinin-forming enzyme, may perpetuate formation of kinin in the inflammatory milieu by hydrolyzing extravasated kininogens present in tissue edema. Secretion of KLKs into the inflammatory milieu, induced by kinins or other proinflammatory mediators, provides the human neutrophil with a wide range of molecular interactions to hydrolyze different cellular and extracellular matrix components, which may be of critical relevance in different mechanisms involving inflammation.

Abstract
Neurological disorders represent major health concerns in terms of comorbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite a tremendous increase in our understanding of the pathophysiological processes involved in disease progression and prevention, the accumulated knowledge so far resulted in relatively moderate translational benefits in terms of therapeutic interventions and enhanced clinical outcomes. Aiming at specific neural molecular pathways, different strategies have been geared to target the development and progression of such disorders. The kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) is among the most delineated candidate systems due to its ubiquitous roles mediating several of the pathophysiological features of these neurological disorders as well as being implicated in regulating various brain functions. Several experimental KKS models revealed that the inhibition or stimulation of the two receptors of the KKS system (B1R and B2R) can exhibit neuroprotective and/or adverse pathological outcomes. This updated review provides background details of the KKS components and their functions in different neurological disorders including temporal lobe epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and glioma. Finally, this work will highlight the putative roles of the KKS components as potential neurotherapeutic targets and provide future perspectives on the possibility of translating these findings into potential clinical biomarkers in neurological disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kinins are peptide mediators exerting their pro-inflammatory actions by the selective stimulation of two distinct G-protein coupled receptors, termed BKB1R and BKB2R. While BKB2R is constitutively expressed in a multitude of tissues, BKB1R is hardly expressed at baseline but highly inducible by inflammatory mediators. In particular, BKB1R was shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of numerous inflammatory diseases. Areas covered: This review intends to evaluate the therapeutic potential of substances interacting with the BKB1R. To this purpose we summarize the published literature on animal studies with antagonists and knockout mice for this receptor. Expert Opinion: In most cases the pharmacological inhibition of BKB1R or its genetic deletion was beneficial for the outcome of the disease in animal models. Therefore, several companies have developed BKB1R antagonists and tested them in phase I and II clinical trials. However, none of the developed BKB1R antagonists was further developed for clinical use. We discuss possible reasons for this failure of translation of preclinical findings on BKB1R antagonists into the clinic.

Abstract
Nisin had been grafted onto quaternary ammonium chitosan (QCS) through an enzyme-catalyzed reaction to enhance its limited antimicrobial activity. QCS was synthesized by incorporating N-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) onto chitosan's primary amine group. The modification had been confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Degree of substitution (DS) of QCS-nisin could be controlled by adjusting the reaction conditions. The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro to evaluate their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The results suggested that QCS-nisin significantly suppressed the growth of both gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria; The antioxidant effects on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) proved to be enhanced with increasing DS and concentration. In addition, QCS-nisin showed excellent moisture absorption and retention properties; MTT assay exhibited that QCS-nisin revealed low cytotoxicity effects on cultured NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. These results suggest that QCS-nisin would appear to be a promising candidate for wound dressing application.

Abstract
Impaired wound healing is a common and potentially serious complication in patients with diabetes. In recent years, disturbed physiologic functions of epidermal keratinocytes have been found to play a central role in the poor healing ability of diabetic wounds. Factors involving keratinocytes that may contribute to the dysfunctional wound healing process in diabetes include impaired keratinocyte migration and proliferation, gap junction abnormalities, chronic inflammation, chronic infections associated with defective innate immunity, impaired angiogenesis, increased oxidative stress, and abnormal expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In this review article, we provide evidence from the scientific literature for the molecular mechanisms of delayed wound healing in diabetes, with particular emphasis on keratinocytes. Elucidating the spectrum of molecular and functional abnormalities in keratinocytes induced by high-glucose environment may lead to more effective and individualized therapeutic strategies for the prevention and management of chronic diabetic wounds.
