J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35469. [PMID: 39205328 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
The failure of bone regeneration has been considered as a serious problem that troubling patients for decades, most of which was resulted by the poor angiogenesis and chronic inflammation after surgery. Among multiple materials applied in the repair of bone defect, silicate bioceramics attracted researchers because of its excellent bioactivity. The purpose of this study was to detect the effect of specific bioactive glass ceramic (AP40, based on crystalline phases of apatite and wollastonite) on angiogenesis and the subsequent bone growth through the modulation of macrophages. Two groups were included in this study: control group (macrophages without any stimulation, denominated as Control) and AP40 group (macrophages incubated on AP40). This study investigated the effect of AP40 on macrophages polarization (RAW264.7) and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the changes of angiogenic ability regulated by macrophages were explored. AP40 showed excellent angiogenesis potential and the expression of CD31 was promoted through the modulation of macrophages toward M2 subtype. Additionally, the macrophages incubated on AP40 synthesized more PDGF-BB comparing to macrophages without any stimulation, which contributed to the improved angiogenetic ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Results of in vivo studies indicated increased bone ingrowth along the implants, which indicated the potential of bioceramics for bone defect repair clinically.

Mussel-Derived and Bioclickable Peptide Mimic for Enhanced Interfacial Osseointegration via Synergistic Immunomodulation and Vascularized Bone Regeneration. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2401833.

Abstract
Inadequate osseointegration at the interface is a key factor in orthopedic implant failure. Mechanistically, traditional orthopedic implant interfaces fail to precisely match natural bone regeneration processes in vivo. In this study, a novel biomimetic coating on titanium substrates (DPA-Co/GFO) through a mussel adhesion-mediated ion coordination and molecular clicking strategy is engineered. In vivo and in vitro results confirm that the coating exhibits excellent biocompatibility and effectively promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Crucially, the biomimetic coating targets the integrin α2β1 receptor to promote M2 macrophage polarization and achieves a synergistic effect between immunomodulation and vascularized bone regeneration, thereby maximizing osseointegration at the interface. Mechanical push-out tests reveal that the pull-out strength in the DPA-Co/GFO group is markedly greater than that in the control group (79.04 ± 3.20 N vs 31.47 ± 1.87 N, P < 0.01) and even surpasses that in the sham group (79.04 ± 3.20 N vs 63.09 ± 8.52 N, P < 0.01). In summary, the novel biomimetic coating developed in this study precisely matches the natural process of bone regeneration in vivo, enhancing interface-related osseointegration and showing considerable potential for clinical translation and applications.

Abstract
The vascularization of bone repair materials is one of the key issues that urgently need to be addressed in the process of bone repair. The changes in macrophage phenotype and function play an important role in the process of vascularization, and endowing bone repair materials with immune regulatory characteristics to enhance angiogenesis is undoubtedly a new strategy to improve the effectiveness of bone repair. In order to improve the effect of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on vascularization and bone repair, we doped strontium ions (Sr) into TCP (SrTCP) and prepared porous 3D printed SrTCP scaffolds using 3D printing technology, and studied the scaffold mediated macrophage polarization and subsequent vascularization and bone regeneration. The results of the interaction between the scaffold and macrophages showed that the SrTCP scaffold can promote the polarization of macrophages from M1 to M2 and secrete high concentrations of VEGF and PDGF-bb cytokines, which shows excellent angiogenic potential. When human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with macrophage-conditioned medium of SrTCP scaffold, HUVECs exhibited excellent early angiogenesis-promoting effects in terms of scratch healing, angiogenic gene expression, and in vitro tube formation performance. The results of in vivo bone repair experiments showed that the SrTCP scaffold formed a vascular network with high density and quantity in the bone defect area, which could increase the rate of new bone formation and advance the period of bone formation, and finally achieved a better bone repair effect. We observed a cascade effect in which Sr-doped SrTCP scaffold regulate macrophage polarization to enhance angiogenesis and promote bone repair, which may provide a new strategy for the repair of clinical bone defects.

Abstract
In recent years, bone regeneration has emerged as a remarkable field that offers promising guidance for treating bone-related diseases, such as bone defects, bone infections, and osteosarcoma. Among various bone regeneration approaches, the metal ion-based strategy has surfaced as a prospective candidate approach owing to the extensive regulatory role of metal ions in bone metabolism and the diversity of corresponding delivery strategies. Various metal ions can promote bone regeneration through three primary strategies: balancing the effects of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, regulating the immune microenvironment, and promoting bone angiogenesis. In the meantime, the complex molecular mechanisms behind these strategies are being consistently explored. Moreover, the accelerated development of biomaterials broadens the prospect of metal ions applied to bone regeneration. This review highlights the potential of metal ions for bone regeneration and their underlying mechanisms. We propose that future investigations focus on refining the clinical utilization of metal ions using both mechanistic inquiry and materials engineering to bolster the clinical effectiveness of metal ion-based approaches for bone regeneration.

Abstract
It is widely known that bone has intrinsic capacity to self-regenerate after injury. However, the physiological regeneration process can be impaired when there is an extensive damage. One of the main reasons is due to the inability to establish a new vascular network that ensures oxygen and nutrient diffusion, leading to a necrotic core and non-junction of bone. Initially, bone tissue engineering (BTE) emerged to use inert biomaterials to just fill bone defects, but it eventually evolved to mimic bone extracellular matrix and even stimulate bone physiological regeneration process. In this regard, the stimulation of osteogenesis has gained a lot of attention especially in the proper stimulation of angiogenesis, being critical to achieve a successful osteogenesis for bone regeneration. Besides, the immunomodulation of a pro-inflammatory environment towards an anti-inflammatory one upon scaffold implantation has been considered another key process for a proper tissue restoration. To stimulate these phases, growth factors and cytokines have been extensively used. Nonetheless, they present some drawbacks such as low stability and safety concerns. Alternatively, the use of inorganic ions has attracted higher attention due to their higher stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects. This review will first focus in giving fundamental aspects of initial bone regeneration phases, focusing mainly on inflammatory and angiogenic ones. Then, it will describe the role of different inorganic ions in modulating the immune response upon biomaterial implantation towards a restorative environment and their ability to stimulate angiogenic response for a proper scaffold vascularization and successful bone tissue restoration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The impairment of bone tissue regeneration when there is excessive damage has led to different tissue engineered strategies to promote bone healing. Significant importance has been given in the immunomodulation towards an anti-inflammatory environment together with proper angiogenesis stimulation in order to achieve successful bone regeneration rather than stimulating only the osteogenic differentiation. Ions have been considered potential candidates to stimulate these events due to their high stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects compared to growth factors. However, up to now, no review has been published assembling all this information together, describing individual effects of ions on immunomodulation and angiogenic stimulation, as well as their multifunctionality or synergistic effects when combined together.

Abstract
One specific capillary subtype, termed type H vessel, has been found with unique functional characteristics in coupling angiogenesis with osteogenesis. Researchers have fabricated a variety of tissue engineering scaffolds to enhance bone healing and regeneration through the accumulation of type H vessels. However, only a limited number of reviews discussed the tissue engineering strategies for type H vessel regulation. The object of this review is to summary the current utilizes of bone tissue engineering to regulate type H vessels through various signal pathways including Notch, PDGF-BB, Slit3, HIF-1α, and VEGF signaling. Moreover, we give an insightful overview of recent research progress about the morphological, spatial and age-dependent characteristics of type H blood vessels. Their unique role in tying angiogenesis and osteogenesis together via blood flow, cellular microenvironment, immune system and nervous system are also summarized. This review article would provide an insight into the combination of tissue engineering scaffolds with type H vessels and identify future perspectives for vasculized tissue engineering research.

Abstract
Efficient healing of bone defect is closely associated with the structured and functional characters of tissue engineered scaffolds. However, the development of bone implants with rapid tissue ingrowth and favorable osteoinductive properties remains a challenge. Herein, we fabricated polyelectrolytes modified-biomimetic scaffold with macroporous and nanofibrous structures as well as simultaneous delivery of BMP-2 protein and trace element strontium. The hierarchically structured scaffold incorporated with strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite (SrHA) was coated with polyelectrolyte multilayers of chitosan/gelatin via layer-by-layer assembly technique for BMP-2 immobilization, which endowed the composite scaffold with sequential release of BMP-2 and Sr ions. The integration of SrHA improved the mechanical property of composite scaffold, while the polyelectrolytes modification strongly increased the hydrophilicity and protein binding efficiency. In addition, polyelectrolytes modified-scaffold significantly facilitated cell proliferation in vitro, as well as enhanced tissue infiltration and new microvascular formation in vivo. Furthermore, the dual-factor loaded scaffold significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Moreover, both vascularization and new bone formation were significantly increased by the treatment of dual-factor delivery scaffold in the rat calvarial defects model, suggesting a synergistic effect on bone regeneration through spatiotemporal delivery of BMP-2 and Sr ions. Overall, this study demonstrate that the prepared biomimetic scaffold as dual-factor delivery system has great potential for bone regeneration application.

Abstract
The number of patients with bone defects caused by various bone diseases is increasing yearly in the aging population, and people are paying increasing attention to bone tissue engineering research. Currently, the application of bone tissue engineering mainly focuses on promoting fracture healing by carrying cytokines. However, cytokines implanted into the body easily cause an immune response, and the cost is high; therefore, the clinical treatment effect is not outstanding. In recent years, some scholars have proposed the concept of tissue-induced biomaterials that can induce bone regeneration through a scaffold structure without adding cytokines. By optimizing the scaffold structure, the performance of tissue-engineered bone scaffolds is improved and the osteogenesis effect is promoted, which provides ideas for the design and improvement of tissue-engineered bones in the future. In this study, the current understanding of the bone tissue structure is summarized through the discussion of current bone tissue engineering, and the current research on micro-nano bionic structure scaffolds and their osteogenesis mechanism is analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
The favorable microstructure and bioactivity of tissue-engineered bone scaffolds are closely associated with the regenerative efficacy of bone defects. For the treatment of large bone defects, however, most of them fail to meet requirements such as adequate mechanical strength, highly porous structure, and excellent angiogenic and osteogenic activities. Herein, inspired by the characteristics of a "flowerbed", we construct a short nanofiber aggregates-enriched dual-factor delivery scaffold via 3D printing and electrospinning techniques for guiding vascularized bone regeneration. By the assembly of short nanofibers containing dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG)-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a 3D printed strontium-contained hydroxyapatite/polycaprolactone (SrHA@PCL) scaffold, an adjustable porous structure can be easily realized by changing the density of nanofibers, while strong compressive strength will be acquired due to the framework role of SrHA@PCL. Owing to the different degradation performance between electrospun nanofibers and 3D printed microfilaments, a sequential release behavior of DMOG and Sr ions is achieved. Both in vivo and in vitro results demonstrate that the dual-factor delivery scaffold has excellent biocompatibility, significantly promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis by stimulating endothelial cells and osteoblasts, and effectively accelerates tissue ingrowth and vascularized bone regeneration through activating the hypoxia inducible factor-1α pathway and immunoregulatory effect. Overall, this study has provided a promising strategy for constructing a bone microenvironment-matched biomimetic scaffold for bone regeneration.

Strontium ion attenuates osteoarthritis through inhibiting senescence and enhancing autophagy in fibroblast-like synoviocytes. Mol Biol Rep 2023; 50:1437-1446. [PMID: 36472726 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-022-08112-7] [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: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) mainly occurs in the elderly population and seriously affects their quality of life (QOL). Strontium (Sr) ions have shown positive effects on bone tissue and are promising for OA treatment. However, the adequate treatment dosage and underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of different concentrations of Sr ions in a mouse model of OA induced by destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgery. DMM-induced OA mice received intra-articular injections of different concentrations of Sr ions, and a suitable concentration of Sr ions was found to improve OA. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanism by which Sr ions mediate senescence and autophagy in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) in the synovial tissues of DMM-induced OA mice. OA mice treated with 10 µl of 5 mmol/L SrCl2 showed the greatest improvement in pain-related behavior and cartilage damage. In addition, in vivo and in vitro experiments revealed that Sr ions inhibit senescence and improve the autophagic function of FLSs. We also found that enhancement of the autophagic function of FLSs could effectively slow down senescence. Therefore, we show that Sr ions through the AMPK/mTOR/LC3B-II signal axis improve FLSs autophagy function and delay FLSs senescence, and furthermore, improve OA. These results suggest that senescence and autophagy function of FLSs may serve as promising targets for OA treatment, and that Sr ions may inhibit OA progression through these two targets.

Abstract
With the development of bone tissue engineering bio-scaffold materials by adding metallic ions to improve bone healing have been extensively explored in the past decades. Strontium a non-radioactive element, as an essential osteophilic trace element for the human body, has received widespread attention in the medical field due to its superior biological properties of inhibiting bone resorption and promoting osteogenesis. As the concept of osteoimmunology developed, the design of orthopedic biomaterials has gradually shifted from “immune-friendly” to “immunomodulatory” with the aim of promoting bone healing by modulating the immune microenvironment through implanted biomaterials. The process of bone healing can be regarded as an immune-induced procedure in which immune cells can target the effector cells such as macrophages, neutrophils, osteocytes, and osteoprogenitor cells through paracrine mechanisms, affecting pathological alveolar bone resorption and physiological bone regeneration. As a kind of crucial immune cell, macrophages play a critical role in the early period of wound repair and host defense after biomaterial implantation. Despite Sr-doped biomaterials being increasingly investigated, how extracellular Sr2+ guides the organism toward favorable osteogenesis by modulating macrophages in the bone tissue microenvironment has rarely been studied. This review focuses on recent knowledge that the trace element Sr regulates bone regeneration mechanisms through the regulation of macrophage polarization, which is significant for the future development of Sr-doped bone repair materials. We will also summarize the primary mechanism of Sr2+ in bone, including calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and osteogenesis-related signaling pathways.

Abstract
To endow Ti-based orthopedic implants immunomodulatory capability and thus enhanced osseointegration, different amounts of Sr are doped in Na2TiO3 nanorods in the arrays with identical nanotopographic parameters (rod diameter, length and inter-rod spacing) by substitution of Na+ using hydrothermal treatment. The obtained arrays are denoted as STSr2, STSr4, and STSr7, where the arabic numbers indicate the incorporating amounts of Sr in Na2TiO3. The modulation effects of the Sr-doped nanorods arrays on macrophage polarization and osteogenetic functions of osteoblasts are investigated, together with the array without Sr (ST). Moreover, osseointegration of these arrays are also assayed in rat femoral condyles. Sr-doped nanorods arrays accelerate M1 (pro-inflammatory phenotype)-to-M2 (anti-inflammatory phenotype) transformation of the adhered macrophages, enhancing secretion of pro-osteogenetic cytokines and growth factors (TGF-β1 and BMP2), moreover, the Sr doped arrays directly enhance osteogenetic functions of osteoblasts. The enhancement of paracrine of M2 macrophages and osteogenetic function of osteoblasts is promoted with the increase of Sr incorporating amounts. Consequently, Sr doped arrays show significantly enhanced osseointegration in vivo compared to ST, and STSr7 exhibits the best performance. Our work sheds a new light on the design of surface chemical components and structures for orthopedic implants to enhance their osseointegration.

Abstract
Deteriorated bone quality in osteoporosis challenges the success of implants, which are in urgent need for better early osseointegration as well as antibacterial property for long-term stability. As osteoporotic bone formation tangles with angiogenic clues, the relationship between osteogenesis and angiogenesis has been a novel therapy target for osteoporosis. However, few designs of implant coatings take the compromised osteoporotic angiogenic microenvironment into consideration. Here, we investigated the angiogenic effects of bioactive strontium ions of different doses in HUVECs only and in a co-culture system with BMSCs. A proper dose of strontium ions (0.2–1 mM) could enhance the secretion of VEGFA and Ang-1 in HUVECs as well as in the co-culture system with BMSCs, exhibiting potential to create an angiogenic microenvironment in the early stage that would be beneficial to osteogenesis. Based on the dose screening, we fabricated a bioactive titanium surface doped with zinc and different doses of strontium by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), for the establishment of a microenvironment favoring osseointegration for osteoporosis. The dual bioactive elements augmented titanium surfaces induced robust osteogenic differentiation, and enhanced antimicrobial properties. Augmented titanium implant surfaces exhibited improved bone formation and bone–implant contact under comprehensive assessment of an in vivo bone–implant interface. In conclusion, zinc- and strontium-augmented titanium surface benefits the osseointegration in osteoporosis via promoting osteogenic differentiation, exerting antibacterial efficacy, and stimulating early angiogenesis.

Abstract
Immune response and new tissue formation are important aspects of tissue repair. However, only a single aspect is generally considered in previous biomedical interventions, and the synergistic effect is unclear. Here, a dual-effect coating with immobilized immunomodulatory metal ions (e.g., Zn2+) and osteoinductive growth factors (e.g., BMP-2 peptide) is designed via mussel adhesion-mediated ion coordination and molecular clicking strategy. Compared to the bare TiO2 group, Zn2+ can increase M2 macrophage recruitment by up to 92.5% in vivo and upregulate the expression of M2 cytokine IL-10 by 84.5%; while the dual-effect of Zn2+ and BMP-2 peptide can increase M2 macrophages recruitment by up to 124.7% in vivo and upregulate the expression of M2 cytokine IL-10 by 171%. These benefits eventually significantly enhance bone-implant mechanical fixation (203.3 N) and new bone ingrowth (82.1%) compared to the bare TiO2 (98.6 N and 45.1%, respectively). Taken together, the dual-effect coating can be utilized to synergistically modulate the osteoimmune microenvironment at the bone-implant interface, enhancing bone regeneration for successful implantation. Immune response and new tissue formation are important aspects of tissue repair but often only one aspect is considered in biomedical interventions. Here, the authors report on the use of a mussel-like surface coating to immobilize immune modulating metal ions and growth factors and demonstrated improved in vivo outcomes.

Abstract
The immune system and skeletal system are closely linked. Macrophages are one of the most important immune cells for bone remodeling, playing a prohealing role mainly through M2 phenotype polarization. Baicalein (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone, BCL) has been well documented to have a noticeable promotion effect on M2 macrophage polarization. However, due to the limitations in targeted delivery to macrophages and the toxic effect on other organs, BCL has rarely been used in the treatment of bone fractures. In this study, we developed mesoporous silica and Fe3O4 composite-targeted nanoparticles loaded with BCL (BCL@MMSNPs-SS-CD-NW), which could be magnetically delivered to the fracture site. This induced macrophage recruitment in a targeted manner, polarizing them toward the M2 phenotype, which was demonstrated to induce mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) toward osteoblastic differentiation. The mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (MSNs) were prepared with surface sulfhydrylation and amination modification, and the mesoporous channels were blocked with β-cyclodextrin. The outer layer of the mesoporous silicon was added with an amantane-modified NW-targeting peptide to obtain the targeted nanosystem. After entering macrophages, BCL could be released from nanoparticles since the disulfide linker could be cleaved by intracellular glutathione (GSH), resulting in the removal of cyclodextrin (CD) gatekeeper, which is a key element in the pro-bone-remodeling functions such as anti-inflammation and induction of M2 macrophage polarization to facilitate osteogenic differentiation. This nanosystem passively accumulated in the fracture site, promoting osteogenic differentiation activities, highlighting a potent therapeutic benefit with high biosafety.

Abstract
Previous studies have found that the novel low-elastic-modulus Ti2448 alloy can significantly reduce stress shielding and contribute to better bone repair than the conventional Ti6Al4V alloy. In this study, the promotion of osteogenesis and angiogenesis by three-dimensionally printed Ti2448 were also observed in vivo. However, these were not significant in a series of in vitro tests. The stiffness of materials has been reported to greatly affect the response of macrophages, and the immunological regulation mediated by macrophages directly determines the fate of bone implants. Therefore, we designed more experiments to explore the role of three-dimensionally printed Ti2448 in macrophage activation and related osteogenesis and angiogenesis. As expected, we found a significant increase in the number of M2 macrophages around Ti2448 implants, as well as better osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vivo. In vitro studies also showed that macrophages pre-treated with Ti2448 alloy significantly promoted angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation through increased PDGF-BB and BMP-2 secretion, and the polarization of M2 macrophages was enhanced. We deduced that Ti2448 promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis through Piezo1/YAP signaling axis-mediated macrophage polarization and related cytokine secretion. This research might provide insight into the biological properties of Ti2448 and provide a powerful theoretical supplement for the future application of three-dimensionally printed Ti2448 implants in orthopaedic surgery.

Abstract
Early osteointegration is essential for biomedical implants. Surface modifications can significantly compensate for an implant's lack of biocompatibility and osteo-differentiation. They can also be designed to promote angiogenesis in order to assist osteogenesis and ultimately facilitate bone regeneration. In this study, a polydopamine-assisted strontium-substituted apatite coating (Ti@PDA + SrHA) was fabricated on a multifunctional titanium implant to induce both angiogenic and osteogenic abilities for rapid osseointegration. Polydopamine and Sr-substituted hydroxyapatite were coated on the implant through biomineralization. The in vitro results showed that Ti@PDA + SrHA improved cell adhesion and increased the proliferation of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Ti@PDA + SrHA upregulated the expression of ALP activity and osteogenic genes in rBMSCs and elevated angiogenic genes in both rBMSCs and HUVECs. Mechanically, the FAK/MAPK signaling pathway was activated in rBMSCs, and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was activated in both rBMSCs and HUVECs. Consistent with these findings, Ti@PDA + SrHA accelerated new bone formation and rapid osseointegration in the femoral condyle implantation study with good stability. Overall, we fabricated a multifunctional biocompatible implant with better angiogenic and osteogenic performance compared to the non-coated implant.

Abstract
Vascularization is an important early indicator of osteogenesis involving biomaterials. Bone repair and new bone formation are associated with extensive neovascularization. Silicon-based biomaterials have attracted widespread attention due to their rapid vascularization. Although calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is a mature substitute for bone, the application of CPC is limited by its slow degradation and insufficient promotion of neovascularization. Calcium silicate (CS) has been shown to stimulate vascular endothelial proliferation. Thus, CS may be added to CPC (CPC-CS) to improve the biocompatibility and neovascularization of CPC. In the early phase of bone repair (the inflammatory phase), macrophages accumulate around the biomaterial and exert both anti- and pro-inflammatory effects. However, the effect of CPC-CS on macrophage polarization is not known, and it is not clear whether the effect on neovascularization is mediated through macrophage polarization. In the present study, we explored whether silicon-mediated macrophage polarization contributes to vascularization by evaluating the CPC-CS-mediated changes in the immuno-environment under different silicate ion contents both in vivo and in vitro. We found that the silicon released from CPC-CS can promote macrophage polarization into the M2 phenotype and rapid endothelial neovascularization during bone repair. Dramatic neovascularization and osteogenesis were observed in mouse calvarial bone defects implanted with CPC-CS containing 60% CS. These findings suggest that CPC-CS is a novel biomaterial that can modulate immune response, promote endothelial proliferation, and facilitate neovascularization and osteogenesis. Thus, CPC-CS shows potential as a bone substitute material.

Abstract
The regulatory functions of the immune response in tissue healing, repair, and regeneration have been evidenced in the last decade. Immune cells play central roles in immune responses toward inducing favorable tissue regenerative processes. Modulating and controlling the immune cell responses (particularly macrophages) is an emerging approach to enhance tissue regeneration. Bioactive glasses (BGs) are multifunctional materials exhibiting osteogenic, angiogenic, and antibacterial properties, being increasingly investigated for various tissue regeneration scenarios, including bone regeneration and wound healing. On the other hand, the immunomodulatory effects of BGs in relation to regenerating tissues have started to be understood, and key knowledge is emerging. This is the first review article summarizing the immunomodulatory effects of BGs for tissue repair and regeneration. The immune response to BGs is firstly introduced, discussing potential mechanisms regarding the immunomodulation effects induced by BGs. Moreover, the interactions between the immune cells involved in the immunomodulation process and BGs (dissolution products) are summarized in detail. Particularly, a well-regulated and timely switch of macrophage phenotype from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory is crucial to constructive tissue regeneration through modulating osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and angiogenesis. The influence of BG characteristics on macrophage responses is discussed. We highlight the strategies employed to harness macrophage responses for enhanced tissue regeneration, including the incorporation of active ions, surface functionalization, and controlled release of immunomodulatory molecules. Finally, we conclude with our perspectives on future research challenges and directions in the emerging field of immunomodulatory BGs for tissue regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Immunomodulatory effects of bioactive glasses (BGs) in relation to bone regeneration and wound healing have started to be understood. We summarize those studies which have focused on immunomodulatory BGs for tissue regeneration. We first introduce the potential mechanisms of the immunomodulation effects induced by BGs. Interactions between the cells involved in immunomodulation processes and BGs (and their dissolution products, biologically active ions) are elaborated. We highlight the strategies employed to modulate macrophage responses for enhancing tissue regeneration, including incorporation of active ions, surface functionalization, and controlled release of immunomodulatory agents. This is the first review article summarizing and outlining the immunomodulatory effects of BGs for tissue regeneration. We anticipate that increasing research efforts will start to emerge in the area of immunomodulatory BGs.

Abstract
Background Macrophage exosomes and vascular endothelial cells (VECs) are critical to bone healing. However, few studies explore the molecular regulation of them in the bone fracture microenvironment. Methods In this study, we explored the effects of adenosine receptor A2A (ADA2AR) in macrophage exosomes and VECs during bone healing. CGS21680 (an ADA2AR agonist) and ZM241385 (an ADA2AR antagonist) were used. First, the effects of the ADA2AR on VECs during bone healing were studied in vivo in a rat tibial fracture model. Second, the effects of ADA2AR on VECs and in the regulation of VECs by macrophages were examined in the bone fracture microenvironment. Third, the effects of ADA2AR on the regulation of macrophage exosomes on VECs were analyzed. Finally, the genes and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with the regulation of VECs by the ADA2AR were examined by high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Results CGS21680 accelerated VEC proliferation in the early stage of bone healing and that ZM241385 suppressed VEC proliferation in vivo. ZM241385 inhibited cell viability and tube formation in vitro. However, CGS21680 did not promote tube formation, cell proliferation, or cell migration in vitro. The inhibition of macrophage exosomes could suppress tube formation and VEC migration. CGS21680 had no effects on tube formation in a macrophage-VEC co-culture. The macrophage exosomes were purified and CGS21680 promoted the macrophage secretion of exosomes. In contrast, ZM241385 inhibited the macrophage secretion exosomes. Finally, the lncRNA and mRNA involved in the activation of the ADA2AR in VECs were analyzed. CGS21680 upregulated 3274 mRNAs and downregulated 2236 mRNAs, and upregulated 1696 lncRNAs and downregulated 1882 lncRNAs. The hub genes involved in angiogenesis were Flt1, Fgf2, Mapk14, Fn1, and Jun. Conclusion The activation of ADA2AR was essential for angiogenesis and the secretion of exosomes by macrophages during bone healing; moreover, the inactivation of the ADA2AR led to poor angiogenesis and bone nonunion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present review article aimed to discuss the recent technologies employed for the development of dental implants, mainly regarding innovative surface treatments and alternative alloys, emphasizing the bio-tribocorrosion processes. METHODS An electronic search applying specific MeSH terms was carried out in PubMed and Google Scholar databases to collect data until August 2021, considering basic, pre-clinical, clinical and review studies. The relevant articles (n=111), focused on innovative surface treatments for dental implants and their potential undesirable biological effects, were selected and explored. RESULTS Novel texturization methodologies for dental implants clearly provided superficial and structural atomic alterations in micro- and nanoscale, promoting different mechanical-chemical interactions when applied in the clinical set. Some particulate metals released from implant surfaces, their degradation products and/or contaminants exhibited local and systemic reactions after implant installation and osseointegration, contributing to unexpected treatment drawbacks and adverse effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for development of pre-clinical and clinical platforms for screening dental implant devices, to predict the biointerface reactions as early as possible during the development phases. SIGNIFICANCE Modern surface treatments and innovative alloys developed for dental implants are not completely understood regarding their integrity during long-term clinical function, especially when considering the bio-tribocorrosion process. From this review, it is possible to assume that degradation and contamination of dental surfaces might be associated within peri-implant inflammation and cumulative long-lasting systemic toxicity. The in-depth comprehension of the biointerface modifications on these novel surface treatments might preclude unnecessary expenses and postoperative complications involving osseointegration failures.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a major systemic bone disease leading to an imbalance in bone homeostasis which remains a challenge in the current treatment of bone defects. Our previous studies on strontium (Sr) doping apparently stimulated osteogenesis of bioceramics, which suggested a promising strategy for the treatment of bone defects. However, the potential effects and the underlying mechanisms of Sr-doping on osteoporotic bone defects still remain unclear. Autophagy is a conventional self-degradation process of cells involved in bone homeostasis and regeneration under physiological and pathological conditions. Therefore, it is essential to design appropriate biomaterials and investigate the associated osteogenic mechanisms via autophagy. Based on this hypothesis, Sr-doped 45S5 bioglass (Sr/45S5) was fabricated, and ovariectomy bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (OVX-BMSCs) were applied as the in vitro cell culture model. First, the optimal Sr-doping concentration of 10 mol% was screened by cell proliferation, ALP staining, alizarin red S staining and the real-time PCR assay. Then, the results of western blot (WB) analysis showed that Sr-induced osteogenic differentiation of OVX-BMSCs was associated with time-dependent modulation of autophagy and related to the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Meanwhile, the autophagy in Sr-induced osteogenic differentiation of OVX-BMSCs was detected by WB, immunofluorescence staining and transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, the effect of osteogenic differentiation of OVX-BMSCs has been significantly inhibited by the administration of autophagy inhibitors and the AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors, respectively, in the early and late periods of osteogenic differentiation. Finally, the results of the model of femoral condyle defects in OVX-rats indicated that Sr10/45S5 granules remarkably enhanced bone regeneration which provided the evidences in vivo. Our research indicates that Sr-doping provides a promising strategy to promote osteogenic differentiation of OVX-BMSCs and bone regeneration in osteoporotic bone defects via early improvement of autophagy and late activation of the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
The immune system mediates inflammation, vascularization and the first response to injuries or implanted biomaterials. Although the function of neutrophils in tissue repair has been extensively studied, its complete role in the tissue regeneration of biomaterials, specifically the resolution of inflammation and promotion of angiogenesis, is unclear. Here, we fabricate nanofibrous gelatin scaffolds containing 10% (w/w) strontium-hydroxyapatite (SrHA) via phase-separation methods to investigate Sr-mediated regulation of neutrophil polarization and, subsequently, the effects on angiogenesis and macrophage polarization. Compared with neutrophils cultured on pure gelatin or HA-incorporated gelatin scaffolds, neutrophils on SrHA-incorporated gelatin scaffolds show more N2 polarization in vitro and in vivo and significantly greater production of immunomodulatory and angiogenic factors. The Sr-induced immunomodulatory and proangiogenic functions of neutrophils are mediated through NF-κB pathway downregulation and increased STAT3 phosphorylation. Thus, neutrophils play a vital role in tissue engineering, and Sr-incorporated scaffolds efficiently promote neutrophil polarization to the N2 phenotype, enhancing resolution of inflammation and ultimately promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration. Thus, incorporation of neutrophils in analyses of the immune characteristics of scaffolds and the development of immunomodulatory biomaterials that can regulate neutrophils are novel and promising strategies in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Dual-functional regulation for angiogenesis and osteogenesis is crucial for desired bone regeneration especially in large-sized bone defects. Exosomes have been demonstrated to facilitate bone regeneration through enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Moreover, functional stimulation to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) was reported to further boost the pro-angiogenic ability of exosomes secreted. However, whether the stimulation by bioactive trace elements of biomaterials could enhance pro-angiogenic capability of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs)-derived exosomes and consequently promote in vivo vascularized bone regeneration has not been investigated. In this study, strontium-substituted calcium silicate (Sr-CS) was chosen and the biological function of BMSCs-derived exosomes after Sr-CS stimulation (Sr-CS-Exo) was systemically investigated. The results showed that Sr-CS-Exo could significantly promote in vitro angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which might be attributed to elevated pro-angiogenic miR-146a cargos and inhibition of Smad4 and NF2 proteins. Moreover, the in vivo study confirmed that Sr-CS-Exo possessed superior pro-angiogenic ability, which contributed to the accelerated developmental vascularization in zebrafish along with the neovascularization and bone regeneration in rat distal femur defects. Our findings may provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying Sr-containing biomaterials-induced angiogenesis, and for the first time, proposed that Sr-CS-Exo may serve as the candidate engineered-exosomes with dual-functional regulation for angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vascularized bone regeneration.

Abstract
In order to explore the abilities of an integrated three-dimensional micro-nano topography in immunomodulation and promoting bone formation, present study focuses on the titanium sheets used in the micro-nano topography by treating them with the sandblasted, large-grit and acid-etched (SLA)and alkaline thermal reaction. Further, we characterized and obtained the surface morphology, roughness, and hydrophilicity of the titanium sheets. Moreover, we detected their in vitro cytocompatibility and cell proliferation as well. In addition, investigation was carried out for the immunomodulatory ability of the titanium sheets in a micro-nano topography by observing the expression of M1 (classical activated macrophage) and M2 (alternatively activated macrophage) type marker factors, inflammatory factors, and morphological changes of RAW264.7 cells cultured on the titanium sheets in different topographies. Through cell migration experiments and coculture, we observed the effects of different titanium sheet immune environments on osteoblast migration, extracellular matrix mineralization, and osteoblast gene expression. These results showed that the micro-nano topography constructed through SLA and alkaline thermal treatment improved the hydrophilicity and promoted the cell proliferation. Moreover, it promoted RAW264.7 cells to polarize as M2 phenotype, thereby leading to the anti-inflammatory effect of local microenvironments. This facilitated osteoblasts to secrete bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) and vascular endothelial growth factor. Nonetheless, these findings provided a theoretical basis for the molecular biological mechanism related to implants in a micro-nano topography which promoted the osteointegration while offering a meaningful theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of such implants.
