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.

[PMID: 38223705 PMCID: PMC10784177 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23779] [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: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024] Open
Abstract
As implantable materials, titanium, and its alloys have garnered enormous interest from researchers for dental and orthopedic procedures. Despite their success in wide clinical applications, titanium, and its alloys fail to stimulate osteogenesis, resulting in poor bonding strength with surrounding bone tissue. Optimizing the surface topology and altered compositions of titanium and titanium-based alloys substantially promotes peri-implant bone regeneration. This review summarizes the utilization and importance of various osteogenesis components loaded onto titanium and its alloys. Further, different surface-modification methods and the release efficacy of loaded substances are emphasized. Finally, we summarize the article with prospects. We believe that further investigation studies must focus on identifying novel loading components, exploring various innovative, optimized surface-modification methods, and developing a sustained-release system on implant surfaces to improve peri-implant bone formation.

Abstract
Healing of severe fractures and bone defects involves many complex biological processes, including angiogenesis and osteogenesis, presenting significant clinical challenges. Biomaterials used for bone tissue engineering often possess multiple functions to meet these challenges, including proangiogenic, proosteogenic, and antibacterial properties. We fabricated lithium and cobalt co-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Li-Co-MBGNs) using a modified sol-gel method. Physicochemical analysis revealed that the nanoparticles had high specific surface areas (>600 m2/g) and a mesoporous structure suitable for hydroxyapatite (HA) formation and sustained release of therapeutic ions. In vitro experiments with Li-Co-MBGNs showed that these promoted angiogenic properties in HUVECs and pro-osteogenesis abilities in BMSCs by releasing Co2+ and Li+ ions. We observed their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, indicating their potential applications in bone tissue engineering. Overall, our findings indicate the feasibility of its application in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Joint replacement is a common surgery and is predominantly utilized for treatment of osteoarthritis in the aging population. The longevity of many of these implants depends on bony ingrowth. Here, we provide an overview of current techniques in osteogenesis (inducing bone growth onto an implant), which is affected by aging and inflammation. In this review we cover the biologic underpinnings of these processes as well as the clinical applications. Overall, aging has a significant effect at the cellular and macroscopic level that impacts osteosynthesis at bone-metal interfaces after joint arthroplasty; potential solutions include targeting prolonged inflammation, preventing microbial adhesion, and enhancing osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has emerged as a highly promising orthopedic implantation material due to its elastic modulus which is comparable to that of natural bone. This polymer exhibits impressive properties for bone implantation such as corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, self-lubrication and chemical stability. Significantly, compared to metal-based implants, PEEK implants have mechanical properties that are closer to natural bone, which can mitigate the "stress shielding" effect in bone implantation. Nevertheless, PEEK is incapable of inducing osteogenesis due to its bio-inert molecular structure, thereby hindering the osseointegration process. To optimize the clinical application of PEEK, researchers have been working on promoting its bioactivity and endowing this polymer with beneficial properties, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and angiogenesis-promoting capabilities. Considering the significant growth of research on PEEK implants over the past 5 years, this review aims to present a timely update on PEEK's modification methods. By highlighting the latest advancements in PEEK modification, we hope to provide guidance and inspiration for researchers in developing the next generation bone implants and optimizing their clinical applications.

Abstract
Macrophage-assisted immunomodulation is an alternative strategy in tissue engineering, wherein the interplay between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory macrophage cells and body cells determines the fate of healing or inflammation. Although several reports have demonstrated that tissue regeneration depends on spatial and temporal regulation of the biophysical or biochemical microenvironment of the biomaterial, the underlying molecular mechanism behind immunomodulation is still under consideration for developing immunomodulatory scaffolds. Currently, most fabricated immunomodulatory platforms reported in the literature show regenerative capabilities of a particular tissue, for example, endogenous tissue (e.g., bone, muscle, heart, kidney, and lungs) or exogenous tissue (e.g., skin and eye). In this review, we briefly introduced the necessity of the 3D immunomodulatory scaffolds and nanomaterials, focusing on material properties and their interaction with macrophages for general readers. This review also provides a comprehensive summary of macrophage origin and taxonomy, their diverse functions, and various signal transduction pathways during biomaterial-macrophage interaction, which is particularly helpful for material scientists and clinicians for developing next-generation immunomodulatory scaffolds. From a clinical standpoint, we briefly discussed the role of 3D biomaterial scaffolds and/or nanomaterial composites for macrophage-assisted tissue engineering with a special focus on bone and associated tissues. Finally, a summary with expert opinion is presented to address the challenges and future necessity of 3D bioprinted immunomodulatory materials for tissue engineering.

Abstract
The development of surface modification techniques has brought about a major paradigm shift in the clinical applications of bone tissue regeneration. Biofabrication strategies enable the creation of scaffolds with specific microstructural environments and biological components. Lithium (Li) has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory, osteogenic, and chondrogenic properties by promoting several intracellular signaling pathways. Currently, research focuses on fabricating scaffolds with simultaneous dual bioactivities to enhance osteochondral regeneration. In this study, we modified the surface of calcium silicate (CS) scaffolds with Li using a simple immersion technique and evaluated their capabilities for bone regeneration. The results showed that Li ions could be easily coated onto the surfaces of CS scaffolds without affecting the microstructural properties of CS itself. Furthermore, the modifications did not affect the printing capabilities of the CS, and porous scaffolds could be fabricated via extrusion. Moreover, the presence of Li improved the surface roughness and hydrophilicity, thus leading to enhanced secretion of osteochondral-related regeneration factors, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone sialoprotein (BSP), and collagen II (Col II) proteins. Subsequent in vivo studies, including histological and micro-CT analyses, confirmed that the Li-modified CS scaffolds promoted osteochondral regeneration. The transcriptome analysis suggested that the enhanced osteochondrogenic capabilities of our scaffolds were influenced by paracrine exosomes. We hope this study will inspire further research on osteochondral regeneration.

Abstract
3D-printed scaffolds are suitable for patient-specific implant preparation for bone regeneration in large-scale critical bone defects. In addition, these scaffolds should have mechanical and biological properties similar to those of natural bone tissue. In this study, 3D-printed barium-doped calcium silicate (BaCS)/poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) composite scaffolds were fabricated as an alternative strategy for bone tissue engineering to achieve appropriate physicochemical characteristics and stimulate osteogenesis. Scaffolds containing 10% Ba (Ba10) showed optimal mechanical properties, preventing premature scaffold degradation during immersion while enabling ion release in a sustained manner to achieve the desired therapeutic goals. In addition, Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) were used to assess biocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation behaviour. WJMSCs were cultured on the scaffold and permeabilised via ICP to analyse the presence of Si and Ba ions in the medium and cell lysates, suggesting that the ions released by the scaffold could effectively enter the cells. The protein expression of CaSR, PI3K, Akt, and JNK confirmed that CaSR could activate cells cultured in Ba10, thereby affecting the subsequent PI3k/Akt and JNK pathways and further promoting osteogenic differentiation. The in vivo performance of the proposed scaffolds was assessed using micro-CT and histological slices, which revealed that the BaCS scaffolds could further enhance bone regeneration, compared with bare scaffolds. These results suggest the potential use of 3D-printed BaCS/PCL scaffolds as next-generation substitutes for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by the disruption in homeostasis between bone formation and bone resorption. Conventional management of osteoporosis involves systematic drug administration and hormonal therapy. These treatment strategies have limited curative efficacy and multiple adverse effects. Biomaterials-based therapeutic strategies have recently emerged as promising alternatives for the treatment of osteoporosis. The present review summarizes the current status of biomaterials designed for managing osteoporosis. The advantages of biomaterials-based strategies over conventional systematic drug treatment are presented. Different anti-osteoporotic delivery systems are concisely addressed. These materials include injectable hydrogels and nanoparticles, as well as anti-osteoporotic bone tissue engineering materials. Fabrication techniques such as 3D printing, electrostatic spinning and artificial intelligence are appraised in the context of how the use of these adjunctive techniques may improve treatment efficacy. The limitations of existing biomaterials are critically analyzed, together with deliberation of the future directions in biomaterials-based therapies. The latter include discussion on the use of combination strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy in the osteoporosis niche.

Electrodeposition of Calcium Phosphate Coatings on Metallic Substrates for Bone Implant Applications: A Review. COATINGS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/coatings12040539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
This review summaries more than three decades of scientific knowledge on electrodeposition of calcium phosphate coatings. This low-temperature process aims to make the surface of metallic bone implants bioactive within a physiological environment. The first part of the review describes the reaction mechanisms that lead to the synthesis of a bioactive coating. Electrodeposition occurs in three consecutive steps that involve electrochemical reactions, pH modification, and precipitation of the calcium phosphate coating. However, the process also produces undesired dihydrogen bubbles during the deposition because of the reduction of water, the solvent of the electrolyte solution. To prevent the production of large amounts of dihydrogen bubbles, the current density value is limited during deposition. To circumvent this issue, the use of pulsed current has been proposed in recent years to replace the traditional direct current. Thanks to breaking times, dihydrogen bubbles can regularly escape from the surface of the implant, and the deposition of the calcium phosphate coating is less disturbed by the accumulation of bubbles. In addition, the pulsed current has a positive impact on the chemical composition, morphology, roughness, and mechanical properties of the electrodeposited calcium phosphate coating. Finally, the review describes one of the most interesting properties of electrodeposition, i.e., the possibility of adding ionic substituents to the calcium phosphate crystal lattice to improve the biological performance of the bone implant. Several cations and anions are reviewed from the scientific literature with a description of their biological impact on the physiological environment.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening is the main factor that leads to the failure of orthopedic implants. Enhancing the early osteointegration of a bone implant can lower the risk of aseptic loosening. Here, a Li-doped surface was constructed on a Ti surface via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) to improve osteointegration. The prepared Li-doped PEO coating showed a porous morphology and the sustained release of Li ions. In vitro results of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (rBMSC) culture studies suggested that the Li-doped Ti surface significantly favored cell adhesion. Moreover, it was found that the Li-doped surface enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity and extracellular matrix mineralization of rBMSCs. In addition, the surface improved the expression of osteogenesis-related genes. Furthermore, a bone implantation model indicated that the Li-doped Ti surface showed improved osteointegration. The incorporation of Li into a Ti surface is a promising method for orthopedic applications.

Abstract
This essay analyzes the scientific evidence that forms the basis of bioactive materials, covering the fundamental understanding of bioactivity phenomena and correlation with the mechanisms of biocompatibility of biomaterials. This is a detailed assessment of performance in areas such as bone-induction, cell adhesion, immunomodulation, thrombogenicity and antimicrobial behavior. Bioactivity is the modulation of biological activity by characteristics of the interfacial region that incorporates the material surface and the immediate local host tissue. Although the term ‘bioactive material’ is widely used and has a well understood general meaning, it would be useful now to concentrate on this interfacial region, considered as ‘the bioactivity zone’. Bioactivity phenomena are either due to topographical/micromechanical characteristics, or to biologically active species that are presented in the bioactivity zone. Examples of topographical/micromechanical effects are the modulation of the osteoblast – osteoclast balance, nanotopographical regulation of cell adhesion, and bactericidal nanostructures. Regulation of bioactivity by biologically active species include their influence, especially of metal ions, on signaling pathways in bone formation, the role of cell adhesion molecules and bioactive peptides in cell attachment, macrophage polarization by immunoregulatory molecules and antimicrobial peptides. While much experimental data exists to demonstrate the potential of such phenomena, there are considerable barriers to their effective clinical translation. This essay shows that there is solid scientific evidence of the existence of bioactivity mechanisms that are associated with some types of biomaterials, especially when the material is modified in a manner designed to specifically induce that activity.

Abstract
Human immune system acts as a pivotal role in the tissue homeostasis and disease progression. Immunomodulatory biomaterials that can manipulate innate immunity and adaptive immunity hold great promise for a broad range of prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. This review is focused on the design strategies and principles of immunomodulatory biomaterials from the standpoint of materials science to regulate macrophage fate, such as activation, polarization, adhesion, migration, proliferation, and secretion. It offers a comprehensive survey and discussion on the tunability of material designs regarding physical, chemical, biological, and dynamic cues for modulating macrophage immune response. The range of such tailorable cues encompasses surface properties, surface topography, materials mechanics, materials composition, and materials dynamics. The representative immunoengineering applications selected herein demonstrate how macrophage-immunomodulating biomaterials are being exploited for cancer immunotherapy, infection immunotherapy, tissue regeneration, inflammation resolution, and vaccination. A perspective on the future research directions of immunoregulatory biomaterials is also provided.

Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:E2729. [PMID: 31163656 PMCID: PMC6600364 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20112729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2019] [Revised: 06/02/2019] [Accepted: 06/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we synthesized strontium-contained calcium silicate (SrCS) powder and fabricated SrCS scaffolds with controlled precise structures using 3D printing techniques. SrCS scaffolds were shown to possess increased mechanical properties as compared to calcium silicate (CS) scaffolds. Our results showed that SrCS scaffolds had uniform interconnected macropores (~500 µm) with a compressive strength 2-times higher than that of CS scaffolds. The biological behaviors of SrCS scaffolds were assessed using the following characteristics: apatite-precipitating ability, cytocompatibility, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). With CS scaffolds as controls, our results indicated that SrCS scaffolds demonstrated good apatite-forming bioactivity with sustained release of Si and Sr ions. The in vitro tests demonstrated that SrCS scaffolds possessed excellent biocompatibility which in turn stimulated adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of MSCs. In addition, the SrCS scaffolds were able to enhance MSCs synthesis of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and suppress macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) thus disrupting normal bone homeostasis which led to enhanced bone formation over bone resorption. Implanted SrCS scaffolds were able to promote new blood vessel growth and new bone regeneration within 4 weeks after implantation in critical-sized rabbit femur defects. Therefore, it was shown that 3D printed SrCS scaffolds with specific controllable structures can be fabricated and SrCS scaffolds had enhanced mechanical property and osteogenesis behavior which makes it a suitable potential candidate for bone regeneration.
