Promotion of Bone Formation in a Rat Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Defect Model via Suppression of Osteoclastogenesis by Ectopic Embryonic Calvaria Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8174. [PMID: 39125746 PMCID: PMC11311643 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158174] [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: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are the most prevalent fractures among patients with osteoporosis, leading to severe pain, deformities, and even death. This study explored the use of ectopic embryonic calvaria derived mesenchymal stem cells (EE-cMSCs), which are known for their superior differentiation and proliferation capabilities, as a potential treatment for bone regeneration in OVCFs. We evaluated the impact of EE-cMSCs on osteoclastogenesis in a RAW264.7 cell environment, which was induced by the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-beta ligand (RANKL), using cytochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR. The osteogenic potential of EE-cMSCs was evaluated under various hydrogel conditions. An osteoporotic vertebral body bone defect model was established by inducing osteoporosis in rats through bilateral ovariectomy and creating defects in their coccygeal vertebral bodies. The effects of EE-cMSCs were examined using micro-computed tomography (μCT) and histology, including immunohistochemical analyses. In vitro, EE-cMSCs inhibited osteoclast differentiation and promoted osteogenesis in a 3D cell culture environment using fibrin hydrogel. Moreover, μCT and histological staining demonstrated increased new bone formation in the group treated with EE-cMSCs and fibrin. Immunostaining showed reduced osteoclast activity and bone resorption, alongside increased angiogenesis. Thus, EE-cMSCs can effectively promote bone regeneration and may represent a promising therapeutic approach for treating OVCFs.

Biphasic bone substitutes coated with PLGA incorporating therapeutic ions Sr 2+ and Mg 2+: cytotoxicity cascade and in vivo response of immune and bone regeneration. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1408702. [PMID: 38978719 PMCID: PMC11228333 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1408702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The incorporation of bioactive ions into biomaterials has gained significant attention as a strategy to enhance bone tissue regeneration on the molecular level. However, little knowledge exists about the effects of the addition of these ions on the immune response and especially on the most important cellular regulators, the macrophages. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the in vitro cytocompatibility and in vivo regulation of bone remodeling and material-related immune responses of a biphasic bone substitute (BBS) coated with metal ions (Sr2+/Mg2+) and PLGA, using the pure BBS as control group. Initially, two cytocompatible modified material variants were identified according to the in vitro results obtained following the DIN EN ISO 10993-5 protocol. The surface structure and ion release of both materials were characterized using SEM-EDX and ICP-OES. The materials were then implanted into Wistar rats for 10, 30, and 90 days using a cranial defect model. Histopathological and histomorphometrical analyses were applied to evaluate material degradation, bone regeneration, osteoconductivity, and immune response. The findings revealed that in all study groups comparable new bone formation were found. However, during the early implantation period, the BBS_Sr2+ group exhibited significantly faster regeneration compared to the other two groups. Additionally, all materials induced comparable tissue and immune responses involving high numbers of both pro-inflammatory macrophages and multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs). In conclusion, this study delved into the repercussions of therapeutic ion doping on bone regeneration patterns and inflammatory responses, offering insights for the advancement of a new generation of biphasic calcium phosphate materials with potential clinical applicability.

[PMID: 38707496 PMCID: PMC11069309 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1390337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate the biocompatibility and osteogenic potential of a novel injectable strontium-doped hydroxyapatite bone-repair material. Methods: The properties of strontium-doped hydroxyapatite/chitosan (Sr-HA/CS), hydroxyapatite/chitosan (HA/CS) and calcium phosphate/chitosan (CAP/CS) were assessed following their preparation via physical cross-linking and a one-step simplified method. Petri dishes containing Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis were inoculated with the material for in vitro investigations. The material was also co-cultured with stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs), to assess the morphology and proliferation capability of the SHEDs, Calcein-AM staining and the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay were employed. Osteogenic differentiation of SHEDs was determined using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and Alizarin Red staining. For in vivo studies, Sr-HA/CS was implanted into the muscle pouch of mice and in a rat model of ovariectomy-induced femoral defects. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to determine the extent of bone formation and defect healing. The formation of new bone was determined using Masson's trichrome staining. The osteogenic mechanism of the material was investigated using Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and immunohistochemical studies. Results: X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed that strontium was successfully doped into HA. The Sr-HA/CS material can be uniformly squeezed using a syringe with a 13% swelling rate. Sr-HA/CS had a significant antibacterial effect against both E. coli and S. epidermidis (p < 0.05), with a stronger effect observed against E. coli. The Sr-HA/CS significantly improved cell proliferation and cell viability in vitro studies (p < 0.05). Compared to CAP/CS and CS, Sr-HA/CS generated a substantially greater new bone area during osteoinduction experiments (p < 0.05, p < 0.001). The Sr-HA/CS material demonstrated a significantly higher rate of bone repair in the bone defeat studies compared to the CAP/CS and CS materials (p < 0.01). The OCN-positive area and TRAP-positive cells in Sr-HA/CS were greater than those in control groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: A novel injectable strontium-doped HA bone-repair material with good antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, and osteoinductivity was successfully prepared.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Linezolid has been reported to protect against chronic bone and joint infection. In this study, linezolid was loaded into the 3D printed poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold with nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) to explore the effect of this composite scaffold on infected bone defect (IBD). METHODS PLGA scaffolds were produced using the 3D printing method. Drug release of linezolid was analyzed by elution and high-performance liquid chromatography assay. PLGA, PLGA-HA, and linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds, were implanted into the defect site of a rabbit radius defect model. Micro-CT, H&E, and Masson staining, and immunohistochemistry were performed to analyze bone infection and bone healing. Evaluation of viable bacteria was performed. The cytocompatibility of 3D-printed composite scaffolds in vitro was detected using human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Long-term safety of the scaffolds in rabbits was evaluated. RESULTS The linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds exhibited a sustained release of linezolid and showed significant antibacterial effects. In the IBD rabbit models implanted with the scaffolds, the linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds promoted bone healing and attenuated bone infection. The PLGA-HA scaffolds carrying linezolid upregulated the expression of osteogenic genes including collagen I, runt-related transcription factor 2, and osteocalcin. The linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds promoted the proliferation and osteogenesis of BMSCs in vitro via the PI3K/AKT pathway. Moreover, the rabbits implanted with the linezolid-loaded scaffolds showed normal biochemical profiles and normal histology, which suggested the safety of the linezolid-loaded scaffolds. CONCLUSION Overall, the linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds fabricated by 3D printing exerts significant bone repair and anti-infection effects.

Myrislignan targets extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and modulates mitochondrial function to dampen osteoclastogenesis and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. J Transl Med 2023; 21:839. [PMID: 37993937 PMCID: PMC10664306 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04706-2] [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: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Activated osteoclasts cause excessive bone resorption, and disrupt bone homeostasis, leading to osteoporosis. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling is the classical pathway related to osteoclast differentiation, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species are closely associated with the differentiation of osteoclasts. Myrislignan (MRL), a natural product derived from nutmeg, has multiple pharmacological activities; however, its therapeutic effect on osteoporosis is unclear. Here, we investigated whether MRL could inhibit osteoclastogenesis and bone mass loss in an ovariectomy mouse model by suppressing mitochondrial function and ERK signaling. METHODS Tartrate-resistant and phosphatase (TRAP) and bone resorption assays were performed to observe the effect of MRL on osteoclastogenesis of bone marrow macrophages. MitoSOX RED and tetramethyl rhodamine methyl ester (TMRM) staining was performed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of MRL on mitochondria. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was performed to detect whether MRL suppressed the expression of osteoclast-specific genes. The impact of MRL on the protein involved in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-κB pathways was evaluated using western blotting. In addition, a specific ERK agonist LM22B-10, was used to revalidate the inhibitory effect of MRL on ERK. Finally, we established an ovariectomy mouse model to assess the therapeutic effect of MRL on osteoporosis in vivo. RESULTS MRL inhibited osteoclast differentiation and the associated bone resorption, by significantly decreasing osteoclastic gene expression. Mechanistically, MRL inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK by suppressing the mitochondrial function, thereby downregulating the nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) signaling. LM22B-10 treatment further verified the targeted inhibition effect of MRL on ERK. Microscopic computed tomographic and histologic analyses of the tibial tissue sections indicated that ovariectomized mice had lower bone mass and higher expression of ERK compared with normal controls. However, MRL treatment significantly reversed these effects, indicating the anti-osteoporosis effect of MRL. CONCLUSION We report for the first time that MRL inhibits ERK signaling by suppressing mitochondrial function, thereby ameliorating ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. Our findings can provide a basis for the development of a novel therapeutic strategy for osteoporosis.

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
Phosphate-based glass (PBG) is a bioactive agent, composed of a glass network with phosphate as the primary component and can be substituted with various therapeutic ions for functional enhancement. Strontium (Sr) has been shown to stimulate osteogenic activity and inhibit pro-inflammatory responses. Despite this potential, there are limited studies that focus on the proportion of Sr substituted and its impact on the functional activity of resulting Sr-substituted PBG (PSr). In this study, focusing on the cellular biological response we synthesized and investigated the functional activity of PSr by characterizing its properties and comparing the effect of Sr substitution on cellular bioactivity. Moreover, we benchmarked the optimal composition against 45S5 bioactive glass (BG). Our results showed that PSr groups exhibited a glass structure and phosphate network like that of PBG. The release of Sr and P was most stable for PSr6, which showed favorable cell viability. Furthermore, PSr6 elicited excellent early osteogenic marker expression and inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, which was significant compared to BG. In addition, compared to BG, PSr6 had markedly higher expression of osteopontin in immunocytochemistry, higher ALP expression in osteogenic media, and denser alizarin red staining in vitro. We also observed a comparable in vivo regenerative response in a 4-week rabbit calvaria defect model. Therefore, based on the results of this study, PSr6 could be identified as the functionally optimized composition with the potential to be applied as a valuable bioactive component of existing biomaterials used for bone regeneration.

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.

In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Injectable Strontium-Modified Calcium Phosphate Cement for Bone Defect Repair in Rats. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010568. [PMID: 36614010 PMCID: PMC9820753 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been widely studied, but its lack of osteoinductivity and inadequate mechanical properties limit its application, while strontium is able to promote bone formation and inhibit bone resorption. In this study, different proportions of tristrontium silicate were introduced to create a novel strontium-modified calcium phosphate cement (SMPC). The physicochemical properties of SMPC and CPC were compared, and the microstructures of the bone cements were characterized with scanning electron microscopy assays. Then, the effect of SMPC on cell proliferation and differentiation was examined. Furthermore, local inflammatory response and osteogenesis after SMPC implantation were also confirmed in the study. Finally, a rat model of isolated vertebral defects was used to test the biomechanical properties of the cements. The results showed that SMPC has better injectability and a shorter setting time than CPC. Meanwhile, the addition of tristrontium silicate promoted the mechanical strength of calcium phosphate cement, and the compressive strength of 5% SMPC increased to 6.00 ± 0.74 MPa. However, this promotion effect gradually diminished with an increase in tristrontium silicate, which was also found in the rat model of isolated vertebral defects. Furthermore, SMPC showed a more preferential role in promoting cell proliferation and differentiation compared to CPC. Neither SMPC nor CPC showed significant inflammatory responses in vivo. Histological staining suggested that SMPCs were significantly better than CPC in promoting new bone regeneration. Importantly, this osteogenesis effect of SMPC was positively correlated with the ratio of tristrontium silicate. In conclusion, 5% SMPC is a promising substitute material for bone repair with excellent physicochemical properties and biological activity.
