Abstract
Reconstruction of critical-size bone defects (CSDs) in the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) region remains challenging. Scaffold-based bone-engineered constructs have been proposed as an alternative to the classical treatments made with autografts and allografts. Scaffolds, a key component of engineered constructs, have been traditionally viewed as biologically passive temporary replacements of deficient bone lacking intrinsic cues to promote osteogenesis. Nowadays, scaffolds are functionalized, giving rise to bioactive scaffolds promoting bone regeneration more effectively than conventional counterparts. This review focuses on the three approaches most used to bioactivate scaffolds: (1) conferring microarchitectural designs or surface nanotopography; (2) loading bioactive molecules; and (3) seeding stem cells on scaffolds, providing relevant examples of in vivo (preclinical and clinical) studies where these methods are employed to enhance CSDs healing in the CMF region. From these, adding bioactive molecules (specifically bone morphogenetic proteins or BMPs) to scaffolds has been the most explored to bioactivate scaffolds. Nevertheless, the downsides of grafting BMP-loaded scaffolds in patients have limited its successful translation into clinics. Despite these drawbacks, scaffolds containing safer, cheaper, and more effective bioactive molecules, combined with stem cells and topographical cues, remain a promising alternative for clinical use to treat CSDs in the CMF complex replacing autografts and allografts.

[PMID: 37460050 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123233] [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: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. After myocardial infarction, the vascular supply of the heart is damaged or blocked, leading to the formation of scar tissue, followed by several cardiac dysfunctions or even death. In this regard, induction of angiogenesis is considered as a vital process for supplying nutrients and oxygen to the cells in cardiac tissue engineering. The current review aims to summarize different approaches of angiogenesis induction for effective cardiac tissue repair. Accordingly, a comprehensive classification of induction of pro-angiogenic signaling pathways through using engineered biomaterials, drugs, angiogenic factors, as well as combinatorial approaches is introduced as a potential platform for cardiac regeneration application. The angiogenic induction for cardiac repair can enhance patient treatment outcomes and generate economic prospects for the biomedical industry. The development and commercialization of angiogenesis methods often involves collaboration between academic institutions, research organizations, and biomedical companies.

ONO-1301 enhances post-transplantation survival of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac tissue sheet by promoting angiogenesis. J Heart Lung Transplant 2023; 42:716-729. [PMID: 36964085 DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2023.01.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transplanting human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) tissue sheets effectively treat ischemic cardiomyopathy. Cardiac functional recovery relies on graft survival in which angiogenesis played an important part. ONO-1301 is a synthetic prostacyclin analog with proangiogenic effects. We hypothesized that transplantation of hiPSC-CM tissue sheets with slow-release ONO-1301 scaffold could promote hostgraft angiogenesis, enhance tissue survival and therapeutic effect. METHODS We developed hiPSC-CM tissue sheets with ONO-1301 slow-release scaffold and evaluated their morphology, gene expression, and effects on angiogenesis. Three tissue sheet layers were transplanted into a rat myocardial infarction (MI) model. Left ventricular ejection fraction, gene expression in the MI border zone, and angiogenesis effects were investigated 4 weeks after transplantation. RESULTS In vitro assessment confirmed the slow-release of ONO-1301, and its pro-angiogenesis effects. In addition, in vivo data demonstrated that ONO-1301 administration positively correlated with graft survival. Cardiac tissue as thick as ∼900 μm was retained in the ONO (+) treated group. Additionally, left ventricular ejection fraction of the ONO (+) group was significantly enhanced, compared to ONO (-) group. The ONO (+) group also showed significantly improved interstitial fibrosis, higher capillary density, increased number of mature blood vessels, along with an enhanced supply of oxygen, and nutrients. CONCLUSIONS Slow-release ONO-1301 scaffold provided an efficient delivery method for thick hiPSC-CM tissue. ONO-1301 promotes angiogenesis between the host and graft and improves nutritional and oxygen supply, thereby enhancing the survival of transplanted cells, effectively improving ejection fraction, and therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Background Traditionally, the iliac crest has been the most common harvesting site for autologous bone grafts; however, it has some limitations, including poor bone availability and donor-site morbidity. This study sought to explore the effect of enhanced bone marrow (eBM) in conjunction with three-dimensional (3D)-printed polylactide–hydroxyapatite (PLA-HA) scaffolds in the repair of critical-sized bone defects in a rabbit model. Methods First, 3D-printed PLA-HA scaffolds were fabricated and evaluated using micro-computed tomography (µCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Twenty-seven New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=9 per group), and the defects were treated using 3D-printed PLA-HA scaffolds (the PLA-HA group) or eBM in conjunction with 3D-printed PLA-HA scaffolds (the PLA-HA/eBM group), or were left untreated (the control group). Radiographic, µCT, and histological analyses were performed to evaluate bone regeneration in the different groups. Results The 3D-printed PLA-HA scaffolds were cylindrical, and had a mean pore size of 500±47.1 µm and 60%±3.5% porosity. At 4 and 8 weeks, the lane-sandhu X-ray score in the PLA-HA/eBM group was significantly higher than that in the PLA-HA group and the control group (P<0.01). At 8 weeks, the µCT analysis showed that the bone volume (BV) and bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) in the PLA-HA/eBM group were significantly higher than those in the PLA-HA group and the control group (P<0.01). Hematoxylin and eosin staining indicated that the new bone area in the PLA-HA/eBM group was significantly higher than that in the PLA-HA group and the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions The group that was treated with eBM in conjunction with 3D-printed PLA-HA showed enhanced bone repair compared to the other 2 groups. PLA-HA/eBM scaffolds represent a promising way to treat critical-sized bone defects.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) plays a significant role in inducing new bone formation by mediating various signal pathways. However, cAMP, combined with biomaterials, is rarely investigated to reconstruct calvarial defects. In this study, cAMP was loaded into a hydroxyapatite (HA)/gelatin (Gel) construct and implanted into critical skull defects in rats to evaluate the potential for enhancing skull regeneration. The physiochemical characteristics, the biocompatibility of Gel and HA/Gel scaffolds, and the regenerated bone tissue were assessed. The resulting HA/Gel scaffolds possessed a 3D interconnected porous structure with extensively distributed HA crystals and favorable physiochemical properties. Rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) within the HA/Gel scaffold showed greater biocompatibility. Compared with the Gel and HA/Gel groups, the cAMP-HA/Gel group revealed the highest bone density, more mature mineralized tissue, and more favorable integration between the new bone and inherent bone as analyzed by cone beam computed tomography and hematoxylin & eosin and Masson staining, respectively. Collectively, our study verified HA/Gel scaffolds as a prospective biomimetic treatment with biocompatibility and the therapeutic potential of cAMP in promoting new bone growth of a skull, which indicates its promise as a growth factor for bone tissue engineering.
