Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease caused by an imbalance between bone resorption and formation. Current treatments primarily involve systemic medication and hormone therapy. However, these systemic treatments lack directionality and are often ineffective for locally severe osteoporosis, with the potential for complex adverse reactions. Consequently, treatment strategies using bioactive materials or external interventions have emerged as the most promising approaches. This review proposes twelve microenvironmental treatment targets for osteoporosis-related pathological changes, including local accumulation of inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS), imbalance of mitochondrial dynamics, insulin resistance, disruption of bone cell autophagy, imbalance of bone cell apoptosis, changes in neural secretions, aging of bone cells, increased local bone tissue vascular destruction, and decreased regeneration. Additionally, this review examines the current research status of effective or potential biophysical and biochemical stimuli based on these microenvironmental treatment targets and summarizes the advantages and optimal parameters of different bioengineering stimuli to support preclinical and clinical research on osteoporosis treatment and bone regeneration. Finally, the review addresses ongoing challenges and future research prospects.

Abstract
Femoral head necrosis is a debilitating disorder that typically caused by impaired blood supply to the hip joint. In this study, a novel injectable hydrogel based on Oxidized Carboxymethyl Cellulose (OCMC)-Carboxymethyl Chitosan (CMCS) polymers containing an angiogenesis stimulator peptide (QK) with a non-toxic crosslinking interaction (Schiff based reaction) was synthesized to enhance angiogenesis following femoral head necrosis in an animal model. The physicochemical features of fabricated injectable hydrogel were analyzed by FTIR, swelling and degradation rate, rheometry, and peptide release. Also, the safety and efficacy were evaluated following an in vitro hydrogel injection study and an avascular necrosis (AVN) animal model. According to the results, the hydrogel exhibited an appropriate swelling ratio and water uptake (>90 %, 24 h) as well as a suitable degradation rate over 21 days accompanied by a continuous peptide release. Also, data showed that hydrogels containing QK peptide boosted the proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and osteogenic potential of both Bone Marrow mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) (****p < 0.0001 and ***p < 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, molecular and histological evaluations significantly demonstrated the overexpression of Runx2, Osteocalcin, Collagen I, VEGF and CD34 genes (**p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001, respectively), and also femoral head necrosis was effectively prohibited, and more blood vessels were detected in defect area by OCMC-CMCS hydrogel containing QK peptide (bone trabeculae >9000, ***p < 0.001). In conclusion, the findings demonstrate that OCMC-CMCS-QK injectable hydrogel could be considered as an impressive therapeutic construct for femoral head AVN healing.

Abstract
Mitochondria perform various metabolic processes that significantly affect cell differentiation, proliferation, signal transduction, and programmed cell death. The disruption of mitochondrial bioenergetic and metabolic functions is closely related to many disorders. The specific isolation and purification of intact, high-purity, and functional mitochondria are central to the understanding of their mechanism of action but remain challenging tasks. In this study, a mitochondrial penetrating peptide (MPP) with the sequence FrFKFrFK(Ac) was used as a mitochondrial recognition motif to construct a peptide-guided affinity separation material. The multiple aromatic phenylalanine (F) residues in this amphiphilic peptide can confer lipophilicity to the mitochondrial membrane, whereas the basic residues (D-arginine and lysine) render the MPP surface positively charged, thereby promoting the binding of negatively charged mitochondria. After the derivatization of the N terminal of MPP with an oligoglycine spacer, the peptide ligands were conjugated to matrix beads (MB) with surface aldehyde functional groups. Peptide functionalization was performed via a condensation reaction between the amino group in the peptide ligand and the aldehyde group on the beads. The generated Schiff bases were reduced, affording stable covalent bonds. The dense and stable functionalization of the beads with the mitochondria-targeting peptides was demonstrated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), zeta potential assay, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The immobilization efficiency of the peptide ligands was 1.47 μmol/g, and the surface potential of MB@MPP was 11 mV. MB@MPP was used for the direct isolation of mitochondria after cell homogenization. As observed by SEM, mitochondria with a cross-sectional diameter of 500 nm were efficiently captured on the MB@MPP surface. Because the mitochondrial membrane potential is an important marker of mitochondrial function and the driving force behind the staining of mitochondria with Mito Tracker dyes, the specific binding and separation of fluorescent mitochondria from the cell samples revealed that the proposed MB@MPP-based isolation approach can keep mitochondria intact and retain their functions. Western blot assays were employed to characterize the protein markers of the mitochondria (citrate synthase (CS) and voltage-dependent anion channel protein (VDAC)) and cytoplasmic protein (vinculin), and examine the integrity and purity of the captured mitochondria. The results showed that the lysates released from MB@MPP had high CS and VDAC contents. By contrast, vinculin, which is highly abundant in whole-cell lysates, was barely detected in the lysates from MB@MPP. These results suggest that MB@MPP isolates mitochondria with high affinity, specificity, and antifouling ability by using the targeting peptide as the capture handle. A comparison with a commercial mitochondrial isolation kit demonstrated that MB@MPP can separate mitochondria with higher CS and VDAC abundance and purity. Given the superior separation performance of MB@MPP, the molecular profiles of the isolated mitochondria under stress were subjected to further analysis of their molecular profiles under stress. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was established to detect tryptophan (Trp) and riboflavin in the mitochondria. Quantification was performed in multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Owing to the high purity of the mitochondria, the Trp and riboflavin contents were determined to be 265 and 0.67 nmol/mg, respectively. The metabolic response of mitochondria to external stimuli was further examined using acadesine, an adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase activator with a wide range of metabolic effects, to treat cells. After cell homogenization, MB@MPP was used to separate the mitochondria from the cell samples with and without acadesine treatment, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. The quantification results demonstrated that acadesine induced a 14% upregulation of Trp content in the mitochondria. By contrast, the riboflavin content decreased to 0.48 nmol/mg, which is 72% of that in untreated mitochondria. The changes in Trp and riboflavin contents could influence their metabolic pathways and, thus, the levels of their metabolites, such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, flavin mononucleotide, and flavin adenine dinucleotide, which are essential coenzymes in mitochondria. Peptide-functionalized affinity microbeads with high affinity and specificity for mitochondria are promising for the efficient isolation of high-quality mitochondria, and offer a useful tool for understanding the complicated functions and dynamics of this unique organelle.

Abstract
To successfully engineer large-sized tissues, establishing vascular structures is essential for providing oxygen, nutrients, growth factors and cells to prevent necrosis at the core of the tissue. The diameter scale of the biofabricated vasculatures should range from 100 to 1,000 µm to support the mm-size tissue while being controllably aligned and spaced within the diffusion limit of oxygen. In this review, insights regarding biofabrication considerations and techniques for engineered blood vessels will be presented. Initially, polymers of natural and synthetic origins can be selected, modified, and combined with each other to support maturation of vascular tissue while also being biocompatible. After they are shaped into scaffold structures by different fabrication techniques, surface properties such as physical topography, stiffness, and surface chemistry play a major role in the endothelialization process after transplantation. Furthermore, biological cues such as growth factors (GFs) and endothelial cells (ECs) can be incorporated into the fabricated structures. As variously reported, fabrication techniques, especially 3D printing by extrusion and 3D printing by photopolymerization, allow the construction of vessels at a high resolution with diameters in the desired range. Strategies to fabricate of stable tubular structures with defined channels will also be discussed. This paper provides an overview of the many advances in blood vessel engineering and combinations of different fabrication techniques up to the present time.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects has been a long-standing challenge in clinical practice. Among the various bone tissue engineering approaches, there has been substantial progress in the development of drug delivery systems based on functional drugs and appropriate carrier materials owing to technological advances in recent years. A large number of materials based on functional nanocarriers have been developed and applied to improve the complex osteogenic microenvironment, including for promoting osteogenic activity, inhibiting osteoclast activity, and exerting certain antibacterial effects. This Review discusses the physicochemical properties, drug loading mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of nanoparticles (NPs) used for constructing drug delivery systems. In addition, we provide an overview of the osteogenic microenvironment regulation mechanism of drug delivery systems based on nanoparticle (NP) carriers and the construction strategies of drug delivery systems. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of NP carriers are summarized along with their prospects and future research trends in bone tissue engineering. This Review thus provides advanced strategies for the design and application of drug delivery systems based on NPs in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) was a disease with a high mortality mainly caused by renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). Although the current non-targeted administration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for AKI had been revealed to facilitate the recovery of renal I/R, how to targeted deliver VEGF and to retain it efficiently in the ischemic kidney was critical for its clinical application. Methods In present study, bi-functional KIT-PR1P peptides were constructed which bond VEGF through PR1P domain, and targeted ischemic kidney through KIT domain to interact with biomarker of AKI-kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1). Then the targeted and therapeutic effects of KIT-PR1P/VEGF in AKI was explored in vitro and in vivo. Results The results showed KIT-PR1P exhibited better angiogenic capacity and targeting ability to hypoxia HK-2 cells with up-regulated Kim-1 in vitro. When KIT-PR1P/VEGF was used for the treatment of renal I/R through intravenous administration in vivo, KIT-PR1P could guide VEGF and retain its effective concentration in ischemic kidney. In addition, KIT-PR1P/VEGF promoted angiogenesis, alleviated renal tubular injury and fibrosis, and finally promoted functional recovery of renal I/R. Conclusion These results indicated that the bi-functional KIT-PR1P peptides combined with VEGF would be a promising strategy for the treatment of AKI by targeting to Kim-1.

Abstract
The introduction of bioactive glasses (BGs) precipitated a paradigm shift in the medical industry and opened the path for the development of contemporary regenerative medicine driven by biomaterials. This composition can bond to live bone and can induce osteogenesis by the release of physiologically active ions. 45S5 BG products have been transplanted effectively into millions of patients around the world, primarily to repair bone and dental defects. Over the years, many other BG compositions have been introduced as innovative biomaterials for repairing soft tissue and delivering drugs. When research first started, many of the accomplishments that have been made today were unimaginable. It appears that the true capacity of BGs has not yet been realized. Because of this, research involving BGs is extremely fascinating. However, to be successful, it requires interdisciplinary cooperation between physicians, glass chemists, and bioengineers. The present paper gives a picture of the existing clinical uses of BGs and illustrates key difficulties deserving to be faced in the future. The challenges range from the potential for BGs to be used in a wide variety of applications. We have high hopes that this paper will be of use to both novice researchers, who are just beginning their journey into the world of BGs, as well as seasoned scientists, in that it will promote conversation regarding potential additional investigation and lead to the discovery of innovative medical applications for BGs.

Abstract
Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge that requires the construction of scaffolds that can regulate bone homeostasis. In this study, a photo-cured mesoporous bioactive glass (PMBG) precursor is developed as a tricalcium phosphate (TCP) agglomerant to obtain a double-phase PMBG/TCP scaffold via 3D printing. The scaffold exhibits multi-scale porous structures and large surface areas, making it a suitable carrier for the loading of parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1-34), which is used for the treatment of osteoporosis. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that PMBG/TCP scaffolds coordinated with PTH (1-34) can regulate bone homeostasis in a bidirectional manner to facilitate bone formation and inhibit bone resorption. Furthermore, bidirectional regulation of bone homeostasis by PTH (1-34) is achieved by inhibiting fibrogenic activation protein (FAP). Thus, PMBG/TCP scaffolds coordinated with PTH (1-34) are viable materials with considerable potential for application in the field of bone regeneration and provide an excellent solution for the design and development of clinical materials.

[PMID: 36579729 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37483] [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: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most potent angiogenic factor and plays an important role in therapy of myocardial infarction (MI). Currently, how to retain regional concentration and decrease rapid diffusion is critical for its clinical application of VEGF. In recent years, the application of targeting peptides has been developed rapidly and provides new strategies for the sustained release of VEGF. In present study, a bi-functional EBP-PR1P peptide was designed and bridged VEGF to injectable cardiac extracellular matrix (c-ECM). Through EBP-PR1P peptides, VEGF could specifically bind with c-ECM to realize the sustained release, without impacting the bioactivity of VEGF. Then VEGF/EBP-PR1P/c-ECM scaffolds were constructed and administrated into rats with MI. The results showed VEGF/EBP-PR1P/c-ECM could promote angiogenesis, protect cardiomyocytes survival against apoptosis, and improve the recovery of cardiac function. In addition, the mechanism of EBP-PR1P/VEGF was also investigated which canonical downstream of VEGF-Akt signaling pathway was activated. These results showed specific VEGF/EBP-PR1P/c-ECM scaffolds served as promising delivery system for VEGF that facilitated the functional recovery of MI.

Achievements in Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses for Biomedical Applications. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14122636. [PMID: 36559130 PMCID: PMC9782017 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14122636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Nowadays, mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) are envisaged as promising candidates in the field of bioceramics for bone tissue regeneration. This is ascribed to their singular chemical composition, structural and textural properties and easy-to-functionalize surface, giving rise to accelerated bioactive responses and capacity for local drug delivery. Since their discovery at the beginning of the 21st century, pioneering research efforts focused on the design and fabrication of MBGs with optimal compositional, textural and structural properties to elicit superior bioactive behavior. The current trends conceive MBGs as multitherapy systems for the treatment of bone-related pathologies, emphasizing the need of fine-tuning surface functionalization. Herein, we focus on the recent developments in MBGs for biomedical applications. First, the role of MBGs in the design and fabrication of three-dimensional scaffolds that fulfil the highly demanding requirements for bone tissue engineering is outlined. The different approaches for developing multifunctional MBGs are overviewed, including the incorporation of therapeutic ions in the glass composition and the surface functionalization with zwitterionic moieties to prevent bacterial adhesion. The bourgeoning scientific literature on MBGs as local delivery systems of diverse therapeutic cargoes (osteogenic/antiosteoporotic, angiogenic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antitumor agents) is addressed. Finally, the current challenges and future directions for the clinical translation of MBGs are discussed.

Effective treatment of intractable diseases using nanoparticles to interfere with vascular supply and angiogenic process. Eur J Med Res 2022; 27:232.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a vital biological process involving blood vessels forming from pre-existing vascular systems. This process contributes to various physiological activities, including embryonic development, hair growth, ovulation, menstruation, and the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue. On the other hand, it is essential in treating a wide range of pathological diseases, such as cardiovascular and ischemic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, malignancies, ophthalmic and retinal diseases, and other chronic conditions. These diseases and disorders are frequently treated by regulating angiogenesis by utilizing a variety of pro-angiogenic or anti-angiogenic agents or molecules by stimulating or suppressing this complicated process, respectively. Nevertheless, many traditional angiogenic therapy techniques suffer from a lack of ability to achieve the intended therapeutic impact because of various constraints. These disadvantages include limited bioavailability, drug resistance, fast elimination, increased price, nonspecificity, and adverse effects. As a result, it is an excellent time for developing various pro- and anti-angiogenic substances that might circumvent the abovementioned restrictions, followed by their efficient use in treating disorders associated with angiogenesis. In recent years, significant progress has been made in different fields of medicine and biology, including therapeutic angiogenesis. Around the world, a multitude of research groups investigated several inorganic or organic nanoparticles (NPs) that had the potential to effectively modify the angiogenesis processes by either enhancing or suppressing the process. Many studies into the processes behind NP-mediated angiogenesis are well described. In this article, we also cover the application of NPs to encourage tissue vascularization as well as their angiogenic and anti-angiogenic effects in the treatment of several disorders, including bone regeneration, peripheral vascular disease, diabetic retinopathy, ischemic stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, post-ischemic cardiovascular injury, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, gene delivery-based angiogenic therapy, protein delivery-based angiogenic therapy, stem cell angiogenic therapy, and diabetic retinopathy, cancer that may benefit from the behavior of the nanostructures in the vascular system throughout the body. In addition, the accompanying difficulties and potential future applications of NPs in treating angiogenesis-related diseases and antiangiogenic therapies are discussed.

Abstract
Material-binding peptides (MBPs) are functionalized adhesive materials consisting of a few to several dozen amino acids. This affinity between MBPs and materials is regulated by multiple interactions, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, hydrophobic interactions, and π-π stacking. They show selective binding and high affinity to a diverse range of inorganic and organic materials, such as silicon-based materials, metals, metal compounds, carbon materials, and polymers. They are used to improve the biocompatibility of materials, increase the efficiency of material synthesis, and guide the controlled synthesis of nanomaterials. In addition, these can be used for precise targeting of proteins by conjugating to target biomolecules. In this review, we summarize the main designs and applications of MBPs in recent years. The discussions focus on more efficient and functional peptides, including evolution and overall design of MBPs. We have also highlighted the recent applications of MBPs, such as functionalization of material surfaces, synthesis of nanomaterials, drug delivery, cancer therapy, and plastic degradation. Besides, we also discussed the development trend of MBPs. This interpretation will accelerate future investigations to bottleneck the drawbacks of available MBPs, promoting their commercial applications.
