[PMID: 38500557 PMCID: PMC10945171 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101015] [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: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
The process of bone regeneration is intricately regulated by various cytokines at distinct stages. The establishment of early and efficient vascularization, along with the maintenance of a sustained osteoinductive microenvironment, plays a crucial role in the successful utilization of bone repair materials. This study aimed to develop a composite hydrogel that would facilitate the creation of an osteogenic microenvironment for bone repair. This was achieved by incorporating an early rapid release of VEGF and a sustained slow release of BMP-2. Herein, the Schiff base was formed between VEGF and the composite hydrogel, and VEGF could be rapidly released to promote vascularization in response to the early acidic bone injury microenvironment. Furthermore, the encapsulation of BMP-2 within mesoporous silica nanoparticles enabled a controlled and sustained release, thereby facilitating the process of bone repair. Our developed composite hydrogel released more than 80% of VEGF and BMP-2 in the acidic medium, which was significantly higher than that in the neutral medium (about 60%). Moreover, the composite hydrogel demonstrated a significant improvement in the migratory capacity and tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, the composite hydrogel exhibited an augmented ability for osteogenesis, as confirmed by the utilization of ALP staining, alizarin red staining, and the upregulation of osteogenesis-related genes. Notably, the composite hydrogel displayed substantial osteoinductive properties, compared with other groups, the skull defect in the composite hydrogels combined with BMP-2 and VEGF was full of new bone, basically completely repaired, and the BV/TV value was greater than 80%. The outcomes of animal experiments demonstrated that the composite hydrogel effectively promoted bone regeneration in cranial defects of rats by leveraging the synergistic effect of an early rapid release of VEGF and a sustained slow release of BMP-2, thereby facilitating vascularized bone regeneration. In conclusion, our composite hydrogel has demonstrated promising potential for vascularized bone repair through the enhancement of angiogenesis and osteogenic microenvironment.

Tissue engineered periosteum: Fabrication of a gelatin basedtrilayer composite scaffold with biomimetic properties for enhanced bone healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130371. [PMID: 38423439 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130371] [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: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
The periosteum, a vascularized tissue membrane, is essential in bone regeneration following fractures and bone loss due to some other reasons, yet there exist several research gaps concerning its regeneration. These gaps encompass reduced cellular proliferation and bioactivity, potential toxicity, heightened stiffness of scaffold materials, unfavorable porosity, expensive materials and procedures, and suboptimal survivability or inappropriate degradation rates of the implanted materials. This research used an interdisciplinary approach by forming a new material fabricated through electrospinning for the proposed application as a layer-by-layer tissue-engineered periosteum (TEP). TEP comprises poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), PCL/gelatin/magnesium-doped zinc oxide (vascular layer), and gelatin/bioactive glass/COD liver oil (osteoconductive layer). These materials were selected for their diverse properties, when integrated into the scaffold formation, successfully mimic the characteristics of native periosteum. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to confirm the trilayer structure of the scaffold and determine the average fiber diameter. In-vitro degradation and swelling studies demonstrated a uniform degradation rate that matches the typical recovery time of periosteum. The scaffold exhibited excellent mechanical properties comparable to natural periosteum. Furthermore, the sustained release kinetics of COD liver oil were observed in the trilayer scaffold. Cell culture results indicated that the three-dimensional topography of the scaffold promoted cell growth, proliferation, and attachment, confirming its non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and bioactivity. This study suggests that the fabricated scaffold holds promise as a potential artificial periosteum for treating periostitis and bone fractures.

Abstract
Complicated fractures have always been challenging in orthopaedics. Designing a multifunctional biomaterial that can contribute to the treatment of fractures using a simple operation remains challenging. Here, we developed a trinity hydrogel system consisting of hydrogel prepared from phenylboronic acid modified gelatin and oxidized-dextran, lithium and cobalt co-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs), and irisin. This hydrogel material exhibits considerable injectability, fat-to-shape, and self-healing characteristics. In addition, compared to hydrogel prepared from gelatin and oxidized-dextran, the hydrogel material presented a noticeable enhancement in compression stress and adhesion strength towards porcine bone fragments, which enables it more effectively splice bone fragments during surgery. Based on the various interactions between irisin and the hydrogel network, the system exhibited a clear sustained release of irisin. Based on the results of in vitro cell tests, the hydrogel material showed good cytocompatibility. And it also considerably enhanced the in vitro pro-osteogenic and pro-angiogenic capacities of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In vivo experimental results indicated that this hydrogel considerably improved the repair of cranial defects in rats. The current study provides a feasible strategy for the treatment of bone fractures and stimulation of fracture healing.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized vehicles secreted by all live cells to establish communication with adjacent cells. In recent years, mammalian EVs (MEVs) have been widely investigated for their therapeutic implications in human disease conditions. As the understanding of MEV composition and nature is advancing, scientists are constantly exploring alternatives for EV production with similar therapeutic potential. Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (PDEVs) may be a better substitute for MEVs because of their widespread sources, cost-effectiveness, and ease of access. Cissus quadrangularis (CQ), known as "bone setter or Hadjod", is a perennial plant utilized for its osteogenic potential. Its crude powder extract formulations are widely used as tablets and syrups. The present work elucidates the isolation of exosome-like nanovesicles (henceforth exosomes) from the culture supernatants of an in vitro cultured callus tissue derived from CQ. The physical and biological properties of the exosomes were successfully investigated using different characterization techniques. The therapeutic potential of the CQ exosomes was found to ameliorate the wound scratch injury and oxidative stress conditions in human-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and the pre-osteoblast (MC3T3) cell line. These exosomes also induced the proliferation and differentiation of hMSCs, as observed by alkaline phosphatase activity. These findings may serve as a proof of concept for further investigating the CQ exosomes as a nanocarrier for drug molecules in various therapeutic bone applications.

Abstract
Massive periosteal defects often significantly impair bone regeneration and repair, which have become a major clinical challenge. Unfortunately, current engineered periosteal materials can hardly currently focus on achieving high tissue adhesion property, being suitable for cell growth, and inducing cell orientation concurrently to meet the properties of nature periosteum. Additionally, the preparation of oriented surface nanotopography often relies on professional equipment. In this study, inspired by the oriented collagen structure of nature periosteum, we present a composite artificial periosteum with a layer of oriented nanotopography surface containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs), cross-linked with adhesive polydopamine (PDA) hydrogel on both terminals. An oriented surface structure that can simulate the oriented alignment of periosteal collagen fibers can be quickly and conveniently obtained via a simple stretching of the membrane in a water bath. With the help of CNTs, our artificial periosteum exhibits sufficient mechanical strength and desired oriented nanotopological structure surface, which further induces the directional arrangement of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) on the membrane. These oriented hBMSCs express significantly higher levels of osteogenic genes and proteins, while the resultant composite periosteum can be stably immobilized in vivo in the rat model of massive calvarial defect through the PDA hydrogel, which finally shows promising bone regeneration ability. We anticipate that the developed functional artificial periosteum has great potential in biomedical applications for the treatment of composite defects of the bone and periosteum.

Abstract
During bone regeneration, the periosteum acts as a carrier for key regenerative cues, delivering osteochondroprogenitor cells and crucial growth factors to the injured bone. We developed a biocompatible, 3D polycaprolactone (PCL) melt electro-written membrane to act as a mimetic periosteum. Poly (ethyl acrylate) coating of the PCL membrane allowed functionalization, mediated by fibronectin and low dose recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) (10-25 μg/ml), resulting in efficient, sustained osteoinduction in vitro. In vivo, rhBMP-2 functionalized mimetic periosteum demonstrated regenerative potential in the treatment of rat critical-size femoral defects with highly efficient healing and functional recovery (80%-93%). Mimetic periosteum has also proven to be efficient for cell delivery, as observed through the migration of transplanted periosteum-derived mesenchymal cells to the bone defect and their survival. Ultimately, mimetic periosteum demonstrated its ability to deliver key stem cells and morphogens to an injured site, exposing a therapeutic and translational potential in vivo when combined with unprecedentedly low rhBMP-2 doses.

Abstract
A composite biomatrix fabricated with collagen, ƙ-carrageenan, hydroxyapatite reinforced with lanthanum oxide nanoparticles is explored as proangiogenic and osteogenic bone tissue repair biomaterial. The biomatrix shows increased physical and biological stability as observed from proteolytic degradation and thermal stability studies. The addition of lanthanum oxide nanoparticles facilitates good osseointegration coupled with simultaneous activation of proangiogenic properties to act as a bone mimicking material. The minimal level of reactive oxygen species and superior cytocompatibility help the as-synthesized biomatrix in achieving capillary migration into the bone micro environment. The composite biomatrix upregulates the expression of VEGF, VEGF-R2 genes in endothelial cells and osteopontin, osteocalcin in osteoblasts cells, respectively. The in vivo hard tissue repair experiment conducted in a rat model shows complete healing of the bone defect by eight weeks with the application of collagen-ƙ-carrageenan-hydroxyapatite-lanthanum oxide nanoparticle biomaterial when compared to the biomaterial made out of individual constituents alone. The biomaterial matrix gets biointegrated into the bone tissue and exerts its therapeutic value in bringing a faster osseo repair process. The study shows the feasibility of using rare-earth metal nanoparticles in combination with protein-polysaccharide biopolymers for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Thin membranous tissues (TMTs) are anatomical structures consisting of multiple stratified cell layers, each less than 100 μm in thickness. While these tissues are small in scale, they play critical roles in normal tissue function and healing. Examples of TMTs include the tympanic membrane, cornea, periosteum, and epidermis. Damage to these structures can be caused by trauma or congenital disabilities, resulting in hearing loss, blindness, dysfunctional bone development, and impaired wound repair, respectively. While autologous and allogeneic tissue sources for these membranes exist, they are significantly limited by availability and patient complications. Tissue engineering has therefore become a popular strategy for TMT replacement. However, due to their complex microscale architecture, TMTs are often difficult to replicate in a biomimetic manner. The critical challenge in TMT fabrication is balancing fine resolution with the ability to mimic complex target tissue anatomy. This Review reports existing TMT fabrication strategies, their resolution and material capabilities, cell and tissue response, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

Abstract
Developing advanced methods for effective bone reconstructive strategies in case of critical bone defects caused by tumor resection, trauma, and other implant-related complications remains a challenging problem in orthopedics. In the clinical management of bone diseases, there is a paradigm shift in using local drugs at the injury site; however, the dead space created during the surgical debridement of necrotic bone and soft tissues (periosteum and underlying muscle) leads to ineffective bone formation, thereby leading to secondary complications, and thus calls for better regenerative approaches. In this study, we have utilized an exosome-functionalized doxorubicin-loaded biodegradable nanocement (NC)-based carrier along with a Cissus quadrangularis (CQ) extract-laden antioxidant herbal membrane for simultaneously managing the periosteum as well as bone formation in the tumor resection model of osteosarcoma. We initially evaluated the efficacy of scaffolds for in vitro mineralization and bone formation. To examine the in vivo effectiveness, we developed a human osteosarcoma cell line (Saos-2)-induced tumor xenograft model with a critical-sized bone defect. The findings revealed that doxorubicin released from NC was successful in killing the tumor cells and was present even after 30 days of implantation. Additionally, the incorporation of exosomes aided the bone formation, resulting in around a 2.6-fold increase in the bone volume compared to the empty group as evaluated by micro-CT. The herbal membrane assisted in the development of periosteum and mineralizing bone callous as validated through histological and immunofluorescence analysis. Thus, our findings describe a one-step biomaterial-based cell-free approach to regenerate bone in osteosarcoma and prevent further fracture due to the complete development of periosteum and lost bone.

Periosteal topology creates an osteo-friendly microenvironment for progenitor cells. Mater Today Bio 2022; 18:100519.

Abstract
The periosteum on the skeletal surface creates a unique micro-environment for cortical bone homeostasis, but how this micro-environment is formed remains a mystery. In our study, we observed the cells in the periosteum presented elongated spindle-like morphology within the aligned collagen fibers, which is in accordance with the differentiated osteoblasts lining on the cortical surface. We planted the bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs), the regular shaped progenitor cells, on collagen-coated aligned fibers, presenting similar cell morphology as observed in the natural periosteum. The aligned collagen topology induced the elongation of BMSCs, whichfacilitated the osteogenic process. Transcriptome analysis suggested the aligned collagen induced the regular shaped cells to present part of the periosteum derived stromal cells(PDSCs) characteristics by showing close correlation of the two cell populations. In addition, the elevated expression of PDSCs markers in the cells grown on the aligned collagen-coated fibers further indicated the function of periosteal topology in manipulating cells' behavior. Enrichment analysis revealed cell-extracellular matrix interaction was the major pathway initiating this process, which created an osteo-friendly micro-environment as well. At last, we found the aligned topology of collagen induced mechano-growth factor expression as the result of Igf1 alternative splicing, guiding the progenitor cells behavior and osteogenic process in the periosteum. This study uncovers the key role of the aligned topology of collagen in the periosteum and explains the mechanism in creating the periosteal micro-environment, which gives the inspiration for artificial periosteum design.

Abstract
Bone-substitute materials are essential in dental implantology. We prepared collagen (Col)/hydroxyapatite (Hap)/acidic gelatin (AG)/basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) constructs with enhanced bone-forming capability. The Col/Hap apatite composites were prepared by immersing Col sponges alternately in calcium and phosphate ion solutions five times, for 20 and 60 min, respectively. Then, the sponges were heated to 56 °C for 48 h. Scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the Col/Hap composites contained poorly crystalline Hap precipitates on the Col matrix. Col/Hap composite granules were infiltrated by AG, freeze-dried, and immersed in b-FGF solution. The wet quaternary constructs were implanted in rat cranial bone defects for 8 weeks, followed by soft X-ray measurements and histological analysis. Animal studies have shown that the constructs moderately increase bone formation in cranial bone defects. We found that an alternate immersion time of 20 min led to the greatest bone formation (p < 0.05). Constructs placed inside defects slightly extend the preexisting bone from the defect edges and lead to the formation of small island-like bones inside the defect, followed by disappearance of the constructs. The combined use of Col, Hap, AG, and b-FGF might bring about novel bone-forming biomaterials.

Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based composites are evolving three-dimensional (3D) networking hydrophilic protein composite scaffolds with high water content. These protein composites have been devoted to biomedical applications due to their unique abilities, such as flexibility, soft structure, versatility, stimuli-responsiveness, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and others. They resemble the native extracellular matrix (ECM) thanks to their remarkable cell-adhesion and matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive amino acid motifs. These favorable properties promote cells to proliferate and inflate within GelMA-protein scaffolds. The performance of GelMA composites has been enriched using cell-amenable components, including peptides and proteins with a high affinity to harmonize cellular activities and tissue morphologies. Due to their inimitable merits, GelMA systems have been used in various fields such as drug delivery, biosensor, the food industry, biomedical, and other health sectors. The current knowledge and the role of GelMA scaffolds in bone tissue engineering are limited. The rational design and development of novel nanomaterials-incorporated GelMA-based composites with unique physicochemical and biological advantages would be used to regulate cellular functionality and bone regeneration. Substantial challenges remain. This review focuses on recent progress in mitigating those disputes. The study opens with a brief introduction to bone tissue engineering and GelMA-based composites, followed by their potential applications in bone tissue engineering. The future perspectives and current challenges of GelMA composites are demonstrated. This review would guide the researchers to design and fabricate more efficient multifunctional GelMA-based composites with improved characteristics for their practical applications in bone tissue engineering and biomedical segments.

Abstract
Background Periosteum is a vascularized tissue membrane covering the bone surface and plays a decisive role in bone reconstruction process after fracture. Various artificial periosteum has been developed to assist the allografts or bionic bone scaffolds in accelerating bone healing. Recently, the biomimicking design of artificial periosteum has attracted increasing attention due to the recapitulation of the natural extracellular microenvironment of the periosteum and has presented unique capacity to modulate the cell fates and ultimately enhance the bone formation and improve neovascularization. Methods A systematic literature search is performed and relevant findings in biomimicking design of artificial periosteum have been reviewed and cited. Results We give a systematical overview of current development of biomimicking design of artificial periosteum. We first summarize the universal strategies for designing biomimicking artificial periosteum including biochemical biomimicry and biophysical biomimicry aspects. We then discuss three types of novel versatile biomimicking artificial periosteum including physical-chemical combined artificial periosteum, heterogeneous structured biomimicking periosteum, and healing phase-targeting biomimicking periosteum. Finally, we comment on the potential implications and prospects in the future design of biomimicking artificial periosteum. Conclusion This review summarizes the preparation strategies of biomimicking artificial periosteum in recent years with a discussion of material selection, animal model adoption, biophysical and biochemical cues to regulate the cell fates as well as three types of latest developed versatile biomimicking artificial periosteum. In future, integration of innervation, osteochondral regeneration, and osteoimmunomodulation, should be taken into consideration when fabricating multifunctional artificial periosteum. The Translational Potential of this Article: This study provides a holistic view on the design strategy and the therapeutic potential of biomimicking artificial periosteum to promote bone healing. It is hoped to open a new avenue of artificial periosteum design with biomimicking considerations and reposition of the current strategy for accelerated bone healing.

Abstract
The periosteum is quite essential for bone repair. The excellent osteogenic properties of periosteal tissue make it a popular choice for accelerated osteogenesis in tissue engineering. With advances in research and technology, renewed attention has been paid to the periosteum. Recent studies have shown that the complexity of the periosteum is not only limited to histological features but also includes genetic and phenotypic features. In addition, the periosteum is proved to be quite site-specific in many ways. This brings challenges to the selection of periosteal donor sites. Limited understanding of the periosteum sets up barriers to developing optimal tissue regeneration strategies. A better understanding of periosteum could lead to better applications. Therefore, we reviewed the histological structure, gene expression, and function of the periosteum from both the commonality and personalization. It aims to discuss some obscure issues and untapped potential of periosteum and artificial periosteum in the application, where further theoretical research is needed. Overall, the site-specificity of the periosteum needs to be fully considered in future applications. However, significant further work is needed in relevant clinical trials to promote the further development of artificial periosteum.

Abstract
Cryogels are widely used in tissue regeneration due to their porous structures and friendly hydrogel performance. Silk-based cryogels were developed but failed to exhibit desirable tunable properties to adapt various biomedical applications. Here, amorphous short silk nanofibers (SSFs) were introduced to fabricate silk cryogels with versatile cues. Compared to previous silk cryogels, the SSF cryogels prepared under same conditions showed significantly enhanced mechanical properties. The microporous cryogels were achieved under lower silk concentrations, confirming better tunability. Versatile cryogels with the modulus in the range of 0.5-283.7 kPa were developed through adjusting silk concentration and crosslinking conditions, superior to previous silk cryogel systems. Besides better cytocompatibility, the SSF cryogels were endowed with effective mechanical cues to control osteogenetic differentiation behaviors of BMSCs. The mechanical properties could be further regulated finely through the introduction of β-sheet-rich silk nanofibers (SNFs), which suggested possible optimization of mechanical niches. Bioactive cargo-laden SNFs were introduced to the SSF cryogel systems, bringing biochemical signals without the compromise of mechanical properties. Versatile SNF-based cryogels with different physical and biological cues were developed here to facilitate the applications in various tissue engineering.

Abstract
Background Periosteum plays a significant role in bone formation and regeneration by storing progenitor cells, and also acts as a source of local growth factors and a scaffold for recruiting cells and other growth factors. Recently, tissue-engineered periosteum has been studied extensively and shown to be important for osteogenesis and chondrogenesis. Using biomimetic methods for artificial periosteum synthesis, membranous tissues with similar function and structure to native periosteum are produced that significantly improve the efficacy of bone grafting and scaffold engineering, and can serve as direct replacements for native periosteum. Many problems involving bone defects can be solved by preparation of idealized periosteum from materials with different properties using various techniques. Methods This review summarizes the significance of periosteum for osteogenesis and chondrogenesis from the aspects of periosteum tissue structure, osteogenesis performance, clinical application, and development of periosteum tissue engineering. The advantages and disadvantages of different tissue engineering methods are also summarized. Results The fast-developing field of periosteum tissue engineering is aimed toward synthesis of bionic periosteum that can ensure or accelerate the repair of bone defects. Artificial periosteum materials can be similar to natural periosteum in both structure and function, and have good therapeutic potential. Induction of periosteum tissue regeneration and bone regeneration by biomimetic periosteum is the ideal process for bone repair. Conclusions Periosteum is essential for bone formation and regeneration, and it is indispensable in bone repair. Achieving personalized structure and composition in the construction of tissue engineering periosteum is in accordance with the design concept of both universality and emphasis on individual differences and ensures the combination of commonness and individuality, which are expected to meet the clinical needs of bone repair more effectively. The translational potential of this article To better understand the role of periosteum in bone repair, clarify the present research situation of periosteum and tissue engineering periosteum, and determine the development and optimization direction of tissue engineering periosteum in the future. It is hoped that periosteum tissue engineering will play a greater role in meeting the clinical needs of bone repair in the future, and makes it possible to achieve optimization of bone tissue therapy.

Abstract
With the currently available materials and technologies it is difficult to mimic the mechanical properties of soft living tissues. Additionally, another significant problem is the lack of information about the mechanical properties of these tissues. Alternatively, the use of phantoms offers a promising solution to simulate biological bodies. For this reason, to advance in the state-of-the-art a wide range of organs (e.g., liver, heart, kidney as well as brain) and hydrogels (e.g., agarose, polyvinyl alcohol –PVA–, Phytagel –PHY– and methacrylate gelatine –GelMA–) were tested regarding their mechanical properties. For that, viscoelastic behavior, hardness, as well as a non-linear elastic mechanical response were measured. It was seen that there was a significant difference among the results for the different mentioned soft tissues. Some of them appear to be more elastic than viscous as well as being softer or harder. With all this information in mind, a correlation between the mechanical properties of the organs and the different materials was performed. The next conclusions were drawn: (1) to mimic the liver, the best material is 1% wt agarose; (2) to mimic the heart, the best material is 2% wt agarose; (3) to mimic the kidney, the best material is 4% wt GelMA; and (4) to mimic the brain, the best materials are 4% wt GelMA and 1% wt agarose. Neither PVA nor PHY was selected to mimic any of the studied tissues.
