Fibroblasts mediate endothelium response to angiogenic cues in a newly developed 3D stroma engineered model. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 154:213636. [PMID: 37778292 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
Three-dimensional stroma engineered models would enable fundamental and applicative studies of human tissues interaction and remodeling in both physiological and pathological conditions. In this work, we propose a 3D vascularized stroma model to be used as in vitro platform for drug testing. A pullulan/dextran-based porous scaffold containing pre-patterned microchannels of 100 μm diameter is used for co-culturing of fibroblasts within the matrix pores and endothelial cells to form the lumen. Optical clearing of the constructs by hyperhydration allows for in-depth imaging of the model up to 1 mm by lightsheet and confocal microscopy. Our 3D vascularized stroma model allows for higher viability, metabolism and cytokines expression compared to a monocultured vascular model. Stroma-endothelium cross-talk is then investigated by exposing the system to pro and anti-angiogenic molecules. The results highlight the protective role played by fibroblasts on the vasculature, as demonstrated by decreased cytotoxicity, restoration of nitric oxide levels upon challenge, and sustained expression of endothelial markers CD31, vWF and VEGF. Our tissue model provides a 3D engineered platform for in vitro studies of stroma remodeling in angiogenesis-driven events, known to be a leading mechanism in diseased conditions, such as metastatic cancers, retinopathies and ischemia, and to investigate related potential therapies.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are a major healthcare challenge owing to their complex healing mechanism and number of impediments to the healing process, like infections, unregulated inflammation, impaired cellular functions, poor angiogenesis, and enhanced protease activity. Current topical care strategies, such as surgical debridement, absorption of exudates, drug-loaded hydrogels for infection and inflammation management, and exogenous supply of growth factors for angiogenesis and cell proliferation, slow the progression of wounds and reduce patient suffering but suffer from low overall cure rates. Therefore, we have developed a proteolytically stable, multifunctional nanoparticle loaded-peptide gel with inherent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and pro-angiogenic properties to provide a favorable wound healing milieu by restoring impaired cellular functions. We have fabricated a self-assembled, lauric acid-peptide conjugate gel, LA-LLys-DPhe-LLys-NH2, loaded with yttrium oxide (Y2O3) nanoparticles (NLG). Gel formed a nanofibrous structure, and nanoparticles were passively entrapped within the network. The surface morphology, stability, viscoelastic, and self-healing characteristics of gels were characterized. It showed a high stability against degradation by proteolytic enzymes and highly potent antibacterial activities against E. coli and S. aureus due to the presence of positively charged side chains of lysine in the peptide chain. It also exhibited an excellent antioxidant activity as well as ability to stimulate cell proliferation in murine fibroblast (L929) cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The incorporation of nanoparticles promoted angiogenesis by upregulating pro-angiogenic genes, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF2), and epidermal growth factor (EGFR), and the gel caused complete wound closure in cells. In summary, the Y2O3 nanoparticle-loaded lauric acid-peptide conjugate gel is able to elicit the desired tissue regeneration responses and, therefore, has a strong potential as a matrix for the treatment of chronic wounds.

Abstract
Current antiviral therapy research is focused on developing dosage forms that enable highly effective drug delivery, providing a selective effect in the organism, lower risk of adverse effects, a lower dose of active pharmaceutical ingredients, and minimal toxicity. In this article, antiviral drugs and the mechanisms of their action are summarized at the beginning as a prerequisite background to develop relevant drug delivery/carrier systems for them, classified and briefly discussed subsequently. Many of the recent studies aim at different types of synthetic, semisynthetic, and natural polymers serving as a favorable matrix for the antiviral drug carrier. Besides a wider view of different antiviral delivery systems, this review focuses on advances in antiviral drug delivery systems based on chitosan (CS) and derivatized CS carriers. CS and its derivatives are evaluated concerning methods of their preparation, their basic characteristics and properties, approaches to the incorporation of an antiviral drug in the CS polymer as well as CS nanoparticulate systems, and their recent biomedical applications in the context of actual antiviral therapy. The degree of development (i.e., research study, in vitro/ex vivo/in vivo preclinical testing), as well as benefits and limitations of CS polymer and CS nanoparticulate drug delivery systems, are reported for particular viral diseases and corresponding antivirotics.

Low molecular weight sulfated chitosan efficiently reduces infection capacity of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in PK15 cells. Virol J 2022; 19:52. [PMID: 35331290 PMCID: PMC8943519 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-022-01781-7] [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: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-associated diseases are a major problem for the swine industry worldwide. In addition to vaccines, the availability of antiviral polymers provides an efficient and safe option for reducing the impact of these diseases. By virtue of their molecular weight and repetitious structure, polymers possess properties not found in small-molecule drugs. In this perspective, we focus on chitosan, a ubiquitous biopolymer, that adjusts the molecular weight and sulfated-mediated functionality can act as an efficient antiviral polymer by mimicking PCV2-cell receptor interactions. Methods Sulfated chitosan (Chi-S) polymers of two molecular weights were synthesized and characterized by FTIR, SEM–EDS and elemental analysis. The Chi-S solutions were tested against PCV2 infection in PK15 cells in vitro and antiviral activity was evaluated by measuring the PCV2 DNA copy number, TCID50 and capsid protein expression, upon application of different molecular weights, sulfate functionalization, and concentrations of polymer. In addition, to explore the mode of action of the Chi-S against PCV2 infection, experiments were designed to elucidate whether the antiviral activity of the Chi-S would be influenced by when it was added to the cells, relative to the time and stage of viral infection. Results Chi-S significantly reduced genomic copies, TCID50 titers and capsid protein of PCV2, showing specific antiviral effects depending on its molecular weight, concentration, and chemical functionalization. Assays designed to explore the mode of action of the low molecular weight Chi-S revealed that it exerted antiviral activity through impeding viral attachment and penetration into cells. Conclusions These findings help better understanding the interactions of PCV2 and porcine cells and reinforce the idea that sulfated polymers, such as Chi-S, represent a promising candidates for use in antiviral therapies against PCV2-associated diseases. Further studies in swine are warranted.

Abstract
Currently, the fabrication of a functional vascular network to maintain the viability of engineered tissues is a major bottleneck in the way of developing a more advanced engineered construct. Inspired by vasculogenesis during the embryonic period, the in vitro prevascularization strategies have focused on optimizing communications and interactions of cells, biomaterial and culture conditions to develop a capillary-like network to tackle the aforementioned issue. Many of these studies employ a combination of endothelial lineage cells and supporting cells such as mesenchymal stem cells, fibroblasts, and perivascular cells to create a lumenized endothelial network. These supporting cells are necessary for the stabilization of the newly developed endothelial network. Moreover, to optimize endothelial network development without impairing biomechanical properties of scaffolds or differentiation of target tissue cells, several other factors, including target tissue, endothelial cell origins, the choice of supporting cell, culture condition, incorporated pro-angiogenic factors, and choice of biomaterial must be taken into account. The prevascularization method can also influence the endothelial lineage cell/supporting cell co-culture system to vascularize the bioengineered constructs. This review aims to investigate the recent advances on standard cells used in in vitro prevascularization methods, their co-culture systems, and conditions in which they form an organized and functional vascular network.

Abstract
Notwithstanding the remarkable progress in the clinical treatment of ischemic disease, proangiogenic drugs mostly suffer from their abnormal angiogenesis and potential cancer risk, and currently, no off-the-shelf biomaterials can efficiently induce angiogenesis. Here, we reported that a semisynthetic sulfated chitosan (SCS) readily engaged anti-inflammatory macrophages and increased its secretion of endogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to induce angiogenesis in ischemia via a VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling pathway. The depletion of host macrophages abrogated VEGF secretion and vascularization in implants, and the inhibition of VEGF or VEGFR2 signaling also disrupted the macrophage-associated angiogenesis. In addition, in a macrophage-inhibited mouse model, SCS efficiently helped to recover the endogenous levels of VEGF and the number of CD31hiEmcnhi vessels in ischemia. Thus, both sulfated group and pentasaccharide sequence in SCS played an important role in directing the therapeutic angiogenesis, indicating that this highly bioactive biomaterial can be harnessed to treat ischemic disease.

Abstract
The vascularization within the scaffold is still a significant challenge in tissue engineering applications. Sulfated chitosan (SCS) as an amazing substance have been used in tissue engineering to stimulate angiogenesis. However, it is not clear whether they have difference in the ability to promote vascularization of SCS with different sulfonic acid group sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) viability and differentiation in vitro, affected by three types of sulfated chitosan' i.e. 2-N-6-O-sulfated chitosan (2,6-SCS), 3'6-O-sulfated chitosan (3,6-SCS) and 6-O-sulfated chitosan (6-SCS). The results are showed that all the SCS possesses excellent biological properties to promote HUVECs viability and proliferation. Especially, 2,6-SCS promotes desirable intracellular nitric oxide secretion and capillary tube formation. Meanwhile, 2,6-SCS up-regulate the related gene and protein expression compared with other sulfonic acid group sites SCS and heparin. Therefore, 2,6-SCS is a promising substitute material for angiogenesis and as aqueous formulation can be employed to fabrication functionalization scaffold surface with promoted angiogenesis.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effects of the two type chitosan derivatives, sulfated chitosan (SCS) and phosphorylated chitosan (PCS), coated on poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA) membrane via polydopamine, respectively, on vascularization and osteogenesis in vitro. Mouse preosteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1s) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used as co-cultures system. The effects of two type membranes on calcium deposition, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, vascularization related factors nitric oxide (NO) and angiogenic growth factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were assessed. The changes of osteogenic and angiogenic related gene, and protein expression were evaluated too. In fact, SCS modified PDLLA membrane had the highest related gene and protein expression than other PDLLA membranes. Our results demonstrated that the SCS maybe a promising matrix for bone regeneration by co-cultures of ECs and OCs than PCS.

Abstract
Bioresorbable polymeric stents have attracted great interest for coronary artery disease because they can provide mechanical support first and then disappear within a desired time period. The conventional manufacturing process is laser cutting, and generally they are fabricated from tubular prototypes produced by injection molding or melt extrusion. The aim of this study is to fabricate and characterize a novel bioresorbable polymeric stent for treatment of coronary artery disease. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is investigated as suitable material for biomedical stents. A rotary 3D printing method is developed to fabricate the polymeric stents. Surface modification of polymeric stent is performed by immobilization of 2-N, 6-O-sulfated chitosan (26SCS). Physical and chemical characterization results showed that the surface microstructure of 3D-pinted PCL stents can be influenced by 26SCS modification, but no significant difference was observed for their mechanical behavior. Biocompatibility assessment results indicated that PCL and S-PCL stents possess good compatibility with blood and cells, and 26SCS modification can enhance cell proliferation. These results suggest that 3D printed PCL stent can be a potential candidate for coronary artery disease by modification of sulfated chitosan (CS).

Abstract
Limited angiogenesis and epithelialization make urethral regeneration using conventional tissue-engineered grafts a great challenge. Consequently, inspired from the native urethra, bacterial cellulose (BC) and bladder acellular matrix (BAM) were combined to design a three dimensional (3D) biomimetic scaffold. The developed BC/BAM scaffold was engineered for accelerating urethral regeneration by enhancing angiogenesis and epithelialization. The BC/BAM scaffold reveals the closest mimic of native urethra in terms of the 3D porous nanofibrous structure and component including collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and intrinsic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In vitro studies showed that the bioinspired BC/BAM scaffold promoted in vitro angiogenesis by facilitating human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) growth, expression of endothelial function related proteins and capillary-like tube formation. Effect of the BC/BAM scaffold on angiogenesis and epithelialization was studied by its implantation in a rabbit urethral defect model for 1 and 3 months. Results demonstrated that the improved blood vessels formation in the urethra-inspired BC/BAM scaffold significantly promoted epithelialization and accelerated urethral regeneration. The urethra-inspired BC/BAM scaffold provides us a new design approach to construct grafts for urethral regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Findings in urethral regeneration demonstrate that an ideal tissue-engineered urethra should have adequate angiogenesis to support epithelialization for urethral regeneration in vivo. In this study, inspired from the native urethra, a bioinspired bacterial cellulose/bladder acellular matrix (BC/BAM) scaffold was developed to promote angiogenesis and epithelialization. The designed scaffold showed the closest physical structure and component to natural urethra, which is beneficial to angiogenesis and regeneration of urethral epithelium. This is the first time to utilize BC and dissolved BAM to develop biomimetic scaffold in urethral tissue engineering. Our biomimetic strategy on urethra graft design provided enhanced angiogenesis and epithelialization to achieve an accelerated and successful rabbit urethral repair. We believe that our urethra-inspired biomimetic scaffold would provide new insights into the design of urethral tissue engineering grafts.

Biomaterials 2019; 232:119645. [PMID: 31865192 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2019.119645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2019] [Revised: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 11/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Preserving the bioactivity of growth factors (GFs) and mimicking their in vivo supply patterns are challenging in the development of GFs-based bone grafts. In this study, we develop a 2-N, 6-O-sulfated chitosan (26SCS) functionalized dual-modular scaffold composed of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) with hierarchical porous structures (module I) and GelMA hydrogel columns (module II) in situ fixed in hollowed channels of the module I, which is capable of realizing differentiated delivery modes for osteogenic rhBMP-2 and angiogenic VEGF. A combinational release profile consisting of a high concentration of VEGF initially followed by a decreasing concentration over time, and a slower/sustainable release of rhBMP-2 is realized by immobilizing rhBMP-2 in module I and embedding VEGF in module II. Systematic in vitro and in vivo studies prove that the two coupled processes of osteogenesis and angiogenesis are well-orchestrated and both enhanced ascribed to the specific GFs delivery modes and 26SCS decoration. 26SCS not only enhances the GFs' bioactivity but also decreases antagonism effects of noggin. This study highlights the importance of differentiating the delivery pattern of different GFs and likely sheds light on the future design of growth factor-based bone grafts.

Abstract
Sulfated polysaccharides have received much attention in recent years due to their special biological activities, especially the regulation of the biological activity of growth factors such as the representative inductive growth factor recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). However, the regulatory mechanisms from the aspect of the molecular chain structure have rarely been reported. In this article, we selected three kinds of sulfonates containing different backbone structures and functional groups, 2-N,6-O-sulfated chitosan (26 SCS), sulfated dextran (DSS) and poly(sodium-p-styrenesulfonate) (PSS), to explore the interaction between them and rhBMP-2. From in vivo and in vitro osteogenesis-related experiments, 26 SCS showed the best promoting effect on rhBMP-2 induced osteogenic differentiation and the sulfated amino group in 26 SCS could specifically bind to rhBMP-2. These findings indicated that the polysaccharide chain structure was a prerequisite for the synergy effect between 26 SCS and rhBMP-2; the effective combination of -SO3- and rhBMP-2 was an important factor in protecting the bioactivity of rhBMP-2. In addition, the presence of the sulfated amino group was the key factor in the specific binding between 26 SCS and rhBMP-2 and provided the possibility of capturing factors in vivo.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are abundant biomolecules, with a strong tendency to form supramolecular networks. A host of carbohydrate-based nanomaterials have been exploited for biomedical applications. These structures are based on simple mono- or disaccharides, as well as on complex, polymeric systems. Chemical modifications serve to tune the shapes and properties of these materials. In particular, carbohydrate-based nanoparticles and nanogels were used for drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering applications. Due to the reversible nature of the assembly, often based on a combination of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, carbohydrate-based materials are valuable substrates for the creations of responsive systems. Herein, we review the current research on carbohydrate-based nanomaterials, with a particular focus on carbohydrate assembly. We will discuss how these systems are formed and how their properties are tuned. Particular emphasis will be placed on the use of carbohydrates for biomedical applications. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Spatiotemporal release of VEGF from biodegradable polylactic-co-glycolic acid microspheres induces angiogenesis in chick chorionic allantoic membrane assay. Int J Pharm 2019; 561:236-243.

Abstract
While vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an acknowledged potent pro-angiogenic agent there is a need to deliver it at an appropriate concentration for several days to achieve angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to produce microspheres of biodegradable polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) tailored to achieve sustained release of VEGF at an appropriate concentration over seven days, avoiding excessive unregulated release of VEGF that has been associated with the formation of leaky blood vessels. Several formulations were examined to produce microspheres loaded with both human serum albumin (HSA) and VEGF to achieve release of VEGF between 3 and 10 ng per ml for seven days to match the therapeutic window desired for angiogenesis. In vitro experiments showed an increase in endothelial cell proliferation in response to microspheres bearing VEGF. Similarly, when microspheres containing VEGF were added to the chorionic membrane of fertilised chicken eggs, there was an increase in the development of blood vessels over seven days in response, which was significant for microspheres bearing VEGF and HSA, but not VEGF alone. There was an increase in both blood vessel density and branching - both signs of proangiogenic activity. Further, there was clearly migration of cells to the VEGF loaded microspheres. In summary, we describe the development of an injectable delivery vehicle to achieve spatiotemporal release of physiologically relevant levels of VEGF for several days and demonstrate the angiogenic response to this. We propose that such a treatment vehicle would be suitable for the treatment of ischemic tissue or wounds.

Abstract
Nutrients and oxygen are delivered mainly by blood vessels to nourish the cells and tissues in the body. Thus, biomaterials are processed by loading cytokines, such as vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), to facilitate angiogenesis in order to accelerate tissue regeneration. Nevertheless, the unpredictable biosecurity of exogenous cytokines is still a controversial issue for its clinical application. In this study, we constructed a kind of cytokine reservoir utilizing the binding affinity between heparin-like sulfate polysaccharide and endogenous growth factors. Two types of sulfated chitosan hydrogels, namely 6-O-sulfated chitosan (6-O-SCS) and 2-N,6-O-sulfated chitosan (2-N,6-O-SCS) hydrogels, were formed on the surface of the gelatin sponge matrix. The microstructure of the SCS-coated scaffolds is porous and interconnected, which is beneficial for cellular infiltration. Besides, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) can adhere and proliferate well on the surface of the scaffolds. Notably, sulfated chitosan-coated scaffolds exhibit an ability to capture VEGF in vitro & vivo, especially for the 2-N,6-O-SCS-coated scaffold. It is also verified by mice models that sulfated chitosan-coated scaffolds result in a concentrated VEGF microenvironment in specific domains as cytokine reservoirs and induce mass microvessels after implantation into subcutaneous tissues. As such, the sulfated chitosan-coated scaffolds served as VEGF reservoirs to accelerate angiogenesis and wound healing. This beneficial strategy may be applicable to in situ tissue regeneration by capturing more cytokines and promoting healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), an ideal bioimplant material, is commonly used in surgical repair to treat soft tissue defects and deformities. However, the main disadvantage of ePTFE is that its distinctive porous ultrastructure is prone to bacterial adhesion that gives rise to infection and chronic inflammation, resulting in functional failure. Herein, a potentially promising approach to ePTFE autologous vascularization (AV-ePTFE) in vivo was established and developed to enhance the material's antibacterial properties. METHODS Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and visual observation were performed to validate the intensity of the inflammatory response and related histological changes in surgical wounds after AV-ePTFE implantation. In addition, the antibacterial activities of AV-ePTFE were assessed by an in vitro bacterial adhesion assay and scanning electron microscope observation. RESULTS The optimal time point of AV-ePTFE was 12 weeks after implantation. AV-ePTFE relieved inflammation based on an inflammation grading evaluation and expedited wound healing. Furthermore, AV-ePTFE effectively reduced the number of bacterial adhesions, inhibited bacterial biofilm formation, and prevented the occurrence of infection. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that autologous vascularization is an effective method to improve the antibacterial adhesion properties and biocompatibility of ePTFE after implantation and that it may have a significant effect on clinical application of future porous biomaterials.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) involved therapy is of great potential for bone regeneration. However, its clinical application is restricted due to the undesirable bioactivity and relevant complications in vivo. Immobilization of recombinant BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) is an efficient strategy to mimic natural microenvironment and retain its bioactivity. Herein, we present evidences indicating that osteoinductive capacity of rhBMP-2 can be regulated via variant immobilizing approaches. Three representative superficial immobilizing models were employed to fabricate rhBMP-2-immobilized surfaces including physical adsorption (Au/rhBMP-2), covalent grafting (rhBMP-2-SAM-Au) and heparin binding (Hep-SAM-Au/rhBMP-2) (SAM: self-assembled monolayer). Loading capacity, releasing behavior, osteogenic differentiation and signaling pathways involved, as well as the cellular recognition of rhBMP-2 under various immobilization modes were systematically investigated. As a result, disparate immobilizing approaches not only have effects on loading capacity, but also lead to disparity of osteoinduction at the same dosage. Notably, heparin could reinforce the recognition between rhBMP-2 and its receptors (BMPRs) whereas weaken its binding to its antagonist Noggin. Owing to this "selective" binding feature, the favorable osteoinduction and maximum ectopic bone formation can be achieved with the heparin-binding approach. In particular, manipulation of orientation-mediated BMP-2-cell recognition efficiency may be a potential target to design more therapeutic efficient rhBMP-2 delivery system. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is crucial in bone regeneration. However, its clinical application is challenged due to its shorten half-life and supra-physiological dose associated complications. In this study, three representative superficial immobilizing patterns were fabricated through physical adsorption, covalent grafting and electrostatic interaction with heparin respectively. We provided evidences indicating an dose-dependent osteoinductive capacity of immobilized BMP-2. Further, a possible mechanism of rhBMP-2-cell recognition at the interface was presented, highlighting the superior effect of heparin on rhBMP-2 bioactivity. Finally, We proposed a dual mechanism of tuning the bioactivity of immobilized rhBMP-2 through surface immobilization approaches: regulation of the saturated loading capacity and orientation-mediated rhBMP-2-cell recognition. These results provide novel insights into designing criterion of efficient delivery vehicle for rhBMP-2.

Abstract
A promising strategy to accelerate bone generation is to deliver a combination of certain growth factors to the integration site via a controlled spatial and temporal delivery mode. Here, a composite hydrogel incorporating poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres was accordingly prepared to load and deliver the osteogenic rhBMP-2 and angiogenic rhVEGF165 in the required manner. In addition, 2-N,6-O-sulphated chitosan (26SCS), which is a synergetic factor of growth factors, was incorporated in the composite hydrogel as well. The system showed a similar release behaviour of the two growth factors regardless of 26SCS inclusion. RhBMP-2 loaded in PLGA microspheres showed a sustained release over a period of 2 weeks, whereas rhVEGF165 loaded in hydrogel eluted almost completely from the hydrogel over the first 16 days. Both growth factors retained their efficacy, as quantified with relevant in vitro assays. Moreover, an enhanced cell response was achieved upon the delivery of dual growth factors, compared to that obtained with a single factor. Furthermore, in the presence of 26SCS, the system revealed significantly upregulated alkaline phosphatase activity, human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation, sprouting, nitric oxide secretion, and angiogenic gene expression. This study highlighted that the composite hydrogel incorporated with 26SCS appears to constitute a promising approach to deliver multiple growth factors. From our findings, we could also conclude that rhBMP-2 can promote angiogenesis and that the mechanism is worthy of further study in subsequent research.

Abstract
Accelerating the wound healing of diabetes-impaired cutaneous tissue is still a challenge due to the aberrant cellular behavior, poor angiogenesis, and pathological micro-environment. Activation with growth factors and modulation of the redox micro-environment of the diabetic wound are considered to be effective strategies. Herein, we have described a highly sulfated heparin-like polysaccharide 2-N, 6-O-sulfated chitosan (26SCS)-doped poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) scaffold (S-PLGA), which can achieve controlled and sustained release of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) owing to its affinity for heparin-binding growth factors. Interestingly, the antioxidant effect of 26SCS was confirmed and it was shown to have a strong scavenging activity towards superoxide radicals, a moderate scavenging activity towards hydroxyl radicals and a lower scavenging activity towards hydrogen peroxide. It also exhibited stronger protective effects in a human keratinocyte cell line (Ha-cat) against H2O2-induced oxidative damage. The Ha-cat cells cultured in the presence of the S-PLGA scaffold were significantly protected against oxidative stress during proliferation. In a full thickness excisional wound model of a diabetic rat, the wound treated with the HB-EGF-loaded S-PLGA scaffold was basically healed after 28 days. Conversely, the wounds in the other diabetic groups were not closed. The migration effect of the keratinocytes was enhanced by the 26SCS-induced sustainable release of HB-EGF and the scavenging of ROS which led to rapid re-epithelialization. Furthermore, histopathological evaluation demonstrated the positive effects on wound contraction, epithelial regeneration, and collagen deposition when treated with the HB-EGF loaded S-PLGA scaffold. These findings highlight that 26SCS may serve as a promising coagent for both controlled release of growth factors and alleviation of excessive ROS production, thus leading to increased regeneration of the diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that vascular endothelial growth facto (VEGF) is important in the treatment of various ischemic and cardiovascular diseases. However, it often suffers from high cost and easy deactivation with a short half-life. Here, we describe a synthetic 2-N, 6-O-sulfated chitosan (26SCS) with a high affinity to VEGF promoting the binding of the signaling protein to its VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), activating receptor phosphorylation and pro-angiogenic related genes expression, and further stimulating downstream VEGF-dependent endothelial cell viability, migration, tube formation and rat aortic rings outgrowth. Interestingly, the obvious recruitment of mural cells were occurred to stabilize the sprouted microvessels. In addition, the pro-angiogenic potential of 26SCS composited VEGF was confirmed in vivo using the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay with an extensive perfusable vascular network. A longer monitoring was administered subcutaneously to mice in a biocompatible gelatin sponge and showed that VEGF with 26SCS had the capability to efficiently enhance neovascularization. These findings highlight that 26SCS, the semi-synthetic natural polymer, may be a promising coagent with VEGF for vascular therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is crucial for facilitating angiogenesis to supply oxygen and nutrient during wound healing and tissue regeneration. However, appropriate use of VEGF is an ongoing challenge due to its rapidly clearance and severe side effects at higher dosage. In this study, we described a synthetic 2-N, 6-O-sulfated chitosan (26SCS) with a high affinity to VEGF, which could significantly promote its binding capacity to VEGF receptor 2 and further stimulate the angiogenic behavior of endothelial cells. We further confirmed that 26SCS was spatially combined with VEGF in a "lying manner", and this spatial arrangement was more conducive to exposure of the receptor binding domain of VEGF. Additionally, it also promoted in vivo angiogenesis in a chicken chorioallantoic membrane assay and mouse subcutaneous implant model. This strategy may afford a new avenue to enhance pro-angiogenic capacity of VEGF.

Localization and promotion of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 bioactivity on extracellular matrix mimetic chondroitin sulfate-functionalized calcium phosphate cement scaffolds. Acta Biomater 2018; 71:184-199. [PMID: 29355717 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2017] [Revised: 11/28/2017] [Accepted: 01/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Localization of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) with continuous and effective osteogenic stimulation is still a great challenge in the field of bone regeneration. To achieve this aim, rhBMP-2 was tethered on chondroitin sulfate (CS)-functionalized calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffolds through specific noncovalent interactions. CS, one of the core glycosaminoglycans, was covalently conjugated onto CPC scaffolds with the assistance of polydopamine (PDA) and further immobilized rhBMP-2 in a biomimetic form. The CPC-PDA-CS scaffolds not only controlled the release kinetics and presentation state of rhBMP-2 but also effectively increased the expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein receptors (BMPRs) and enhanced the recognitions of the remaining rhBMP-2 to BMPRs. Strikingly, the rhBMP-2-loaded CPC-PDA-CS significantly promoted the cellular surface translocation of BMPRs (especially BMPR-IA). In vivo studies demonstrated that, compared with the rhBMP-2 upon CPC and CPC-PDA, the rhBMP-2 upon CPC-PDA-CS exhibited sustained release and induced high quality and more ectopic bone formation. Collectively, these results suggest that rhBMP-2 can be localized within CS-functionalized CPC scaffolds and exert continuous, long-term, and effective osteogenic stimulation. Thus, this work could provide new avenues in mimicking bone extracellular matrix microenvironment and localizing growth factor activity for enhanced bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE A bioinspired chondroitin sulfate (CS)-functionalized calcium phosphate cement (CPC) platform was developed to tether recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), which could exhibit continuous, long-term, and effective osteogenic stimulation in bone tissue engineering. Compared with rhBMP-2-loaded CPC, the rhBMP-2-loaded CPC-polydopamine-CS scaffolds induced higher expression of bone morphogenetic protein receptors (BMPRs), greater cellular surface translocation of bone morphogenetic protein receptor-IA, higher binding affinity of BMPRs/rhBMP-2, and thus higher activation of the drosophila gene mothers against decapentaplegic protein-1/5/8 (Smad1/5/8) and extracellular-regulated protein kinases-1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling. This work can provide new guidelines for the design of BMP-2-based bioactive materials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Immune responses are vital for bone regeneration and play an essential role in the fate of biomaterials after implantation. As a kind of plastic cell, macrophages are central regulators of the immune response during the infection and wound healing process including osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Magnesium-calcium phosphate cement (MCPC) has been reported as a promising candidate for bone repair with promoted osteogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. However, relatively little is known about the effects of MCPC on immune response and the following outcome. In this study, we investigated the interactions between macrophages and MCPC. Here we found that the pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-6 were less expressed and the bone repair related cytokine of TGF-β1 was up-regulated by macrophages in MCPC extract. Furthermore, the enhanced osteogenic capacity of BMSCs and angiogenic potential of HUVECs were acquired in vitro by the MCPC-induced immune microenvironment. These findings suggest that MCPC is able to facilitate bone healing by endowing favorable osteoimmunomodulatory properties and influencing crosstalk behavior between immune cells and osteogenesis-related cells.

Abstract
Bone diseases/injuries have been driving an urgent quest for bone substitutes for bone regeneration. Nanoscaled materials with bone-mimicking characteristics may create suitable microenvironments to guide effective bone regeneration. In this review, the natural hierarchical architecture of bone and its regeneration mechanisms are elucidated. Recent progress in the development of nanomaterials which can promote bone regeneration through bone-healing mimicry (e.g., compositional, nanocrystal formation, structural, and growth factor-related mimicking) is summarized. The nanoeffects of nanomaterials on the regulation of bone-related biological functions are highlighted. How to prepare nanomaterials with combinative bone-biomimicry features according to the bone healing process is prospected in order to achieve rapid bone regeneration in situ.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to fabricate a novel titanium/silicon carbide (Ti/SiC) metal matrix nanocomposite (MMNC) by friction stir processing (FSP) and to investigate its microstructure and mechanical properties. In addition, the adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) on the nanocomposite surface were investigated. The MMNC microstructure was observed by both scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Mechanical properties were characterized by nanoindentation and Vickers hardness testing. Integrin β1 immunofluorescence, cell adhesion, and MTT assays were used to evaluate the effects of the nanocomposite on cell adhesion and proliferation. Osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation were evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity, PCR and osteocalcin immunofluorescence. The observed microstructures and mechanical properties clearly indicated that FSP is a very effective technique for modifying Ti/SiC MMNC to contain uniformly distributed nanoparticles. In the interiors of recrystallized grains, characteristics including twins, fine recrystallized grains, and dislocations formed concurrently. Adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs were all enhanced on the novel Ti/SiC MMNC surface. In conclusion, nanocomposites modified using FSP technology not only have superior mechanical properties under stress-bearing conditions but also provide improved surface and physicochemical properties for cell attachment and osseointegration.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is concerned about the rejuvenation and restoration of diseased and damages tissues/organs using man-made scaffolds that mimic the native environment of the cells. In recent years, a variety of biocompatible and biodegradable natural materials is employed for the fabrication of such scaffolds. Of these natural materials, chitosan is the most preferred one as it imitates the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the cells. Moreover, chitosan-based materials are pro-angiogenic and have antibacterial activity. These materials can be easily fabricated into the desired shape of the scaffolds that are suitable for tissue support and regeneration. Growth factors are small proteins/peptides that support and enhance the growth and differentiation of cells into a specific lineage. It has been observed that scaffolds capable of delivering growth factor promote tissue repair and regeneration at a faster rate when compared to scaffolds without growth factor. The present review focuses on the recent developments on chitosan-based scaffolds for the delivery of growth factors thereby improving and enhancing tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is often referred to as a three-pronged discipline, with each prong corresponding to 1) a 3D material matrix (scaffold), 2) drugs that act on molecular signaling, and 3) regenerative living cells. Herein we focus on reviewing advances in controlled release of drugs from tissue engineering platforms. This review addresses advances in hydrogels and porous scaffolds that are synthesized from natural materials and synthetic polymers for the purposes of controlled release in tissue engineering. We pay special attention to efforts to reduce the burst release effect and to provide sustained and long-term release. Finally, novel approaches to controlled release are described, including devices that allow for pulsatile and sequential delivery. In addition to recent advances, limitations of current approaches and areas of further research are discussed.
