Abstract
Oxygen (O2), nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and hydrogen (H2) with direct effects, and carbon dioxide (CO2) with complementary effects on the condition of various diseases are known as therapeutic gases. The targeted delivery and in situ generation of these therapeutic gases with controllable release at the site of disease has attracted attention to avoid the risk of gas poisoning and improve their performance in treating various diseases such as cancer therapy, cardiovascular therapy, bone tissue engineering, and wound healing. Stimuli-responsive gas-generating sources and delivery systems based on biomaterials that enable on-demand and controllable release are promising approaches for precise gas therapy. This work highlights current advances in the design and development of new approaches and systems to generate and deliver therapeutic gases at the site of disease with on-demand release behavior. The performance of the delivered gases in various biomedical applications is then discussed.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), known as the third gasotransmitter, exerts various physiological functions including cardiac protection, angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer capability. Given its promising therapeutic potential as well as severe perniciousness if improper use, the sustained and tunable H2S delivery systems are highly required for H2S-based gas therapy with enhanced bioactivity and reduced side effects. To this end, a series of stimuli-responsive compounds capable of releasing H2S (termed H2S donors) have been designed over the past two decades to mimic the endogenous generation of H2S and elucidate the biological functions. Further to improve the stability of H2S donors and achieve the targeted delivery, various delivery systems have been constructed. In this review, we focus on the recent advances of an emerging subset, biomolecular-based H2S delivery systems, which combine H2S donors with biomolecular vectors including polysaccharide, peptide, and protein. We demonstrated their basic structures, building strategies, and therapeutic applications respectively to unfold their inherent merits endued by biomolecules including biocompatibility, biodegradability as well as expansibility. The varied development potentials of biomolecular-based H2S delivery systems based on their specific properties are also discussed. At the end, brief future outlooks and upcoming challenges are presented as well.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas transmitter found in eukaryotic organisms, plays an essential role in several physiological processes. H2S is one of the three primary biological gas transmission signaling mediators, along with nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. Several animal and in vitro experiments have indicated that H2S can prevent coronary endothelial mesenchymal transition, reduce the expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules, and stabilize intravascular plaques, suggesting its potential role in the treatment of atherosclerosis (AS). H2S donors are compounds that can release H2S under certain circumstances. Development of highly targeted H2S donors is a key imperative as these can allow for in-depth evaluation of the anti-atherosclerotic effects of exogenous H2S. More importantly, identification of an optimal H2S donor is critical for the creation of H2S anti-atherosclerotic prodrugs. In this review, we discuss a wide range of H2S donors with anti-AS potential along with their respective transport pathways and design-related limitations. We also discuss the utilization of nano-synthetic technologies to manufacture H2S donors. This innovative and effective design example sheds new light on the production of highly targeted H2S donors.

Abstract
The accelerating bone healing process is still a major challenge in clinical orthopedics, especially in critical-sized bone defects. Recently, Nanofiber membranes are showing increasing attention in the biomedical field due to their good biocompatibility, mechanical stability, and the ability to work as a drug carrier to achieve localized and sustained drug delivery. Herein, a multifunction nanofiber membrane loaded with vitamin D (Vit D) and curcumin (Cur) was successfully fabricated using electrospinning technology. In addition, we innovatively modified Vit D with PEG to improve the hydrophilicity of PCL nanofibers. The vitro results of CCK-8, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and mineralization demonstrated that the PCL/Vit D-Cur membrane had great potential for enhancing the proliferation/differentiation of osteoblasts. Moreover, the synergistic effect of Vit D-Cur loaded PCL nanofiber membrane showed a superior ability to improve the anti-inflammatory activity through M2 polarization. Furthermore, in vivo results confirmed that the defect treated with PCL/Vit D-Cur nanofiber membrane was filled with the newly formed bone after 1 month. These results indicate that the Vit D/Cur loaded membrane can be applied for potential bone regeneration therapy.

The polycaprolactone/silk fibroin/carbonate hydroxyapatite electrospun scaffold promotes bone reconstruction by regulating the polarization of macrophages. Regen Biomater 2022; 9:rbac035. [PMID: 35801011 PMCID: PMC9255275 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbac035] [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: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Macrophages are known to modulate the osteogenic environment of bone regeneration elicited by biological bone grafts. Alteration in certain chemical components tends to affect macrophages polarization. Comparatively to hydroxyapatite (HAp), carbonate hydroxyapatite (CHA) consists of 7.4 (wt%) carbonate ions and more closely resembles the mineral content of bone. It remains unknown whether CHA scaffolds or HA scaffolds have better osteogenic properties. In this study, we fabricated PCL/SF scaffold, PCL/SF/HAp scaffold and PCL/SF/CHA scaffold using the electrospinning technique. Despite comparable mechanical properties, the PCL/SF/CHA scaffold exhibited better osteogenic properties than the PCL/SF/HAp scaffold. Although no significant differences were observed between the two scaffolds for promoting osteoblast differentiation in vitro, the PCL/SF/CHA group appeared to be more effective at promoting bone regeneration in cranial defects in vivo. The PCL/SF/CHA scaffold was found to promote macrophage polarization toward M2 via activating the JAK/STAT5 pathway which caused a pro-osteogenic microenvironment to facilitate osteoblast differentiation. The results of this study indicated a higher potential of CHA to substitute HAp in the production of bone scaffolds for better bone regeneration.

Hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata on Collagen Scaffold: A Prospective Hydrogen Sulfide Scavenger. J CHEM-NY 2022.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), independently of being a toxic gas with a characteristic smell of rotten eggs, is a crucial signaling molecule with significant physiological functions. Given the rapid diffusivity of the gas, it is a challenge to develop robust sensors and biomarkers to quantify free or bound H2S. In addition, there is the need to further develop a robust biosystem to efficiently trap or scavenge H2S from different producing environments. The work presented here uses recombinant met-aquo rHbI (rHbI-H2O) immobilization techniques on collagen to determine its ability to bind H2S due to its high affinity (
M-1). The hemeprotein will function as a scavenger on this scaffold system. UV-Vis absorption and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance (%R) spectroscopy of rHbI-H2O and rHbI-sulfide (rHbI-H2S) complex in solution and collagen scaffold demonstrated that the heme chromophore retains its reactivity and properties. UV-Vis diffuse reflectance measurements, transformed using the Kubelka-Munk function (K-M function), show a linear correlation (
and 0.9916) of rHbI-H2O and rHbI-H2S within concentrations from 1 μM to 35 μM for derivatives. The extraordinary affinity of rHbI-H2O for H2S suggests recombinant met-aquo HbI in a collagen scaffold is an excellent scavenger moiety for hydrogen sulfide. These findings give insight into H2S trapping using the rHbI-H2O-collagen scaffold, where the rHbI-H2S concentration can be determined. Future pathways are to work toward the development of a met-aquo rHbI collagen solution capable of being printed as single drops on polymer, cotton or chromatographic paper. Upon exposure of these matrixes to H2S, the rHbI-H2S complex is formed and its concentration determined using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance technique.
