Abstract
Nonhealing infectious wounds, characterized by bacterial colonization, wound microenvironment destruction, and shape complexity, present an intractable problem in clinical practice. Inspired by LEGOs, building-block toys that can be assembled into desired shapes, we proposed the use of electrospray nano-micro composite sodium alginate (SA) microspheres with antibacterial and angiogenic properties to fill irregularly shaped wounds instantly. Specifically, porous poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres (MSs) encapsulating basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were produced by a water-in-oil-in-water double-emulsion method. Then, bFGF@MSs were blended with the SA solution containing ZIF-8 nanoparticles. The resultant solution was electrosprayed to obtain nano-micro composite microspheres (bFGF@MS/ZIF-8@SAMSs). The composite MSs' size could be regulated by PLGA MS mass proportion and electrospray voltage. Moreover, bFGF, a potent angiogenic agent, and ZIF-8, bactericidal nanoparticles, were found to release from bFGF@MS/ZIF-8@SAMSs in a controlled and sustainable manner, which promoted cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation and killed bacteria. Through experimentation on rat models, bFGF@MS/ZIF-8@SAMSs were revealed to adapt to wound shapes and accelerate infected wound healing because of the synergistic effects of antibacterial and angiogenic abilities. In summation, this study developed a feasible approach to prepare bioactive nano-micro MSs as building blocks that can fill irregularly shaped infected wounds and improve healing.

Local Application of Tanshinone IIA protects mesenchymal stem cells from apoptosis and promotes fracture healing in ovariectomized mice. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:309.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly patients suffering from osteoporotic fractures are more susceptible to delayed union or nonunion, and their bodies then are in a state of low-grade chronic inflammation with decreased antioxidant capacity. Tanshinone IIA is widely used in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. We aimed to observe the antioxidant effects of Tanshinone IIA on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which play important roles in bone repair, and the effects of local application of Tanshinone IIA using an injectable biodegradable hydrogel on osteoporotic fracture healing. METHODS MSCs were pretreated with or without different concentrations of Tanshinone IIA followed by H2O2 treatment. Ovariectomized (OVX) C57BL/6 mice received a mid-shaft transverse osteotomy fracture on the left tibia, and Tanshinone IIA was applied to the fracture site using an injectable hydrogel. RESULTS Tanshinone IIA pretreatment promoted the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and antioxidant enzymes, and inhibited H2O2-induced reactive oxygen species accumulation in MSCs. Furthermore, Tanshinone IIA reversed H2O2-induced apoptosis and decrease in osteogenic differentiation in MSCs. After 4 weeks of treatment with Tanshinone IIA in OVX mice, the bone mineral density of the callus was significantly increased and the biomechanical properties of the healed tibias were improved. Cell apoptosis was decreased and Nrf2 expression was increased in the early stage of callus formation. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results indicate that Tanshinone IIA can activate antioxidant enzymes to protect MSCs from H2O2-induced cell apoptosis and osteogenic differentiation inhibition. Local application of Tanshinone IIA accelerates fracture healing in ovariectomized mice.

Monotropein Protects Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Impairments and Promotes Fracture Healing in an Ovariectomized Mouse Model. Calcif Tissue Int 2023; 113:558-570.

Abstract
Monotropein is one of the active ingredients in Morinda Officinalis, which has been used for the treatment in multiple bone and joint diseases. This study aimed to observe the in vitro effects of Monotropein on osteogenic differentiation of lipopolysaccharide treated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs), and the in vivo effects of local application of Monotropein on bone fracture healing in ovariectomized mice. Lipopolysaccharide was used to set up the inflammatory model in bMSCs, which were treated by Monotropein. Molecular docking analysis was performed to evaluate the potential interaction between Monotropein and p65. Transverse fractures of middle tibias were established in ovariectomized mice, and Monotropein was locally applied to the fracture site using injectable hydrogel. Monotropein enhanced the ability of primary bMSCs in chondro-osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, Monotropein rescued lipopolysaccharide-induced osteogenic differentiation impairment and inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced p65 phosphorylation in primary bMSCs. Docking analysis showed that the binding activity of Monotropein and p65/14-3-3 complex is stronger than the selective inhibitor of NF-κB (p65), DP-005. Local application of Monotropein partially rescued the decreased bone mass and biomechanical properties of callus or healed tibias in ovariectomized mice. The expressions of Runx2, Osterix and Collagen I in the 2-week callus were partially restored in Monotropein-treated ovariectomized mice. Taking together, local application of Monotropein promoted fracture healing in ovariectomized mice. Inhibition of p65 phosphorylation and enhancement in osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells could be partial of the effective mechanisms.

Abstract
Leukemia is a lethal cancer in which white blood cells undergo proliferation and immature white blood cells are seen in the bloodstream. Without diagnosis and management in early stages, this type of cancer can be fatal. Changes in protooncogenic genes and microRNA genes are the most important factors involved in development of leukemia. At present, leukemia risk factors are not accurately identified, but some studies have pointed out factors that predispose to leukemia. Studies show that in the absence of genetic risk factors, leukemia can be prevented by reducing the exposure to risk factors of leukemia, including smoking, exposure to benzene compounds and high-dose radioactive or ionizing radiation. One of the most important treatments for leukemia is chemotherapy which has devastating side effects. Chemotherapy and medications used during treatment do not have a specific effect and destroy healthy cells besides leukemia cells. Despite the suppressing effect of chemotherapy against leukemia, patients undergoing chemotherapy have poor quality of life. So today, researchers are focusing on finding more safe and effective natural compounds and treatments for cancer, especially leukemia. Chitosan is a valuable natural compound that is biocompatible and non-toxic to healthy cells. Anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant effects are examples of chitosan biopolymer properties. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of this compound in medical treatments and the pharmaceutical industry. In this article, we take a look at the latest advances in the use of chitosan in the treatment and improvement of leukemia.

Abstract
The success of repair or regeneration depends greatly on the architecture of 3D scaffolds that finely mimic natural extracellular matrix to support cell growth and assembly. Polysaccharides have excellent biocompatibility with intrinsic biological cues and they have been extensively investigated as scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). The physical and biochemical structures of natural polysaccharides, however, can barely meet all the requirements of tissue-engineered scaffolds. To take advantage of their inherent properties, many innovative approaches including chemical, physical, or joint modifications have been employed to improve their properties. Recent advancement in molecular and material building technology facilitates the fabrication of advanced 3D structures with desirable properties. This review focuses on the latest progress of polysaccharide-based scaffolds for TERM, especially those that construct advanced architectures for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogel possesses great application potential in disease treatment and tissue engineering, but damage to gel often occurs due to the squeezing pressure from injection devices and the mechanical forces from limb movement, and leads to the rapid degradation of gel matrix and the leakage of the load material. The self-healing injectable hydrogels can overcome these drawbacks via automatically repairing gel structural defects and restoring gel function. The polysaccharide hydrogels constructed through the Schiff base reaction own advantages including simple fabrication, injectability, and self-healing under physiological conditions, and therefore have drawn extensive attention and investigation recently. In this short review, the preparation and self-healing properties of the polysaccharide hydrogels that is established on the Schiff base reaction are focused on and their biological applications in drug delivery and cell therapy are discussed.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has emerged to create novel cell-based therapies for regenerative medicine applications. Vascularized networks within engineered constructs are required, and toward this end, we report a promising strategy using core-shell (c/s) extrusion 3D-bioprinting technology that employs biomimetic biomaterials to construct regenerative, prevascularized scaffolds for wound care. A custom-designed cell-responsive bioink consisting of a 13% (w/v) cell-laden gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) shell surrounding a peptide-functionalized, succinylated chitosan (C)/dextran aldehyde (D) cell-laden core was successfully bioprinted resulting in organized microdesigns exhibiting excellent cell viability and subsequent vessel formation. Our templating strategy takes advantage of GelMA's intrinsic thermoreversible properties of low degree of acryloyl functionalization used in combination with a lightly, chemically cross-linked peptide-CD core to serve as temporal structural supports that stabilize during extrusion onto a cooled platform. Mechanical integrity was further strengthened layer-by-layer via GelMA UV photo-cross-linking. We report the first example of GelMA used in combination with a peptide-CD bioink to c/s 3D-bioprint regenerative, prevascularized constructs for wound care. Particular cell adhesion and proteolytic peptide-CD functionalized pair combinations, P15/MMP-2 and P15/cRGD, were found to significantly increase growth of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stems cells (hBMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The constructs delivered two cell types: hBMSCs in the shell bioink and HUVECs within the core bioink. Cord-like, natural microvascularization was shown with endothelial cell marker expression as confirmed by immunofluorescence (IF) staining exhibiting tubelike structures. In addition, in vitro skin wound healing activity of the construct showed a ∼twofold rate of wound closure. Overall, c/s 3D-bioprinted, peptide-CD/GelMA constructs provided the appropriate microenvironment for in vitro stem and endothelial cell viability, delivery, and differentiation. We foresee these custom constructs as representing a fundamental step toward engineering larger scale regenerative, prevascularized tissues.

Abstract
A diabetic foot ulcer (DFUs) is a state of prolonged chronic inflammation, which can result in amputation. Different from normal skin wounds, various commercially available dressings have not sufficiently improved the healing of DFUs. In this study, a novel self-healing hydrogel was prepared by in situ crosslinking of N-carboxyethyl chitosan (N-chitosan) and adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) with hyaluronic acid-aldehyde (HA-ALD), to provide a moist and inflammatory relief environment to promote stem cell proliferation or secretion of growth factors, thus accelerating wound healing. The results demonstrated that this injectable and self-healing hydrogel has excellent swelling properties, stability, and mechanical properties. This biocompatible hydrogel stimulated secretion of growth factors from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and regulated the inflammatory environment by inhibiting the expression of M1 macrophages and promoting the expression of M2 macrophages, resulting in granulation tissue formation, collagen deposition, nucleated cell proliferation, neovascularization, and enhanced diabetic wound healing. This study showed that N-chitosan/HA-ALD hydrogel could be used as a multifunctional injectable wound dressing to regulate chronic inflammation and provide an optimal environment for BM-MSCs to promote diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approach require biomaterials which are biocompatible, easily reproducible in less time, biodegradable and should be able to generate complex three-dimensional (3D) structures to mimic the native tissue structures. Click chemistry offers the much-needed multifunctional hydrogel materials which are interesting biomaterials for the tissue engineering and bioprinting inks applications owing to their excellent ability to form hydrogels with printability instantly and to retain the live cells in their 3D network without losing the mechanical integrity even under swollen state. METHODS In this review, we present the recent developments of in situ hydrogel in the field of click chemistry reported for the tissue engineering and 3D bioinks applications, by mainly covering the diverse types of click chemistry methods such as Diels-Alder reaction, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions, thiol-ene reactions, oxime reactions and other interrelated reactions, excluding enzyme-based reactions. RESULTS The click chemistry-based hydrogels are formed spontaneously on mixing of reactive compounds and can encapsulate live cells with high viability for a long time. The recent works reported by combining the advantages of click chemistry and 3D bioprinting technology have shown to produce 3D tissue constructs with high resolution using biocompatible hydrogels as bioinks and in situ injectable forms. CONCLUSION Interestingly, the emergence of click chemistry reactions in bioink synthesis for 3D bioprinting have shown the massive potential of these reaction methods in creating 3D tissue constructs. However, the limitations and challenges involved in the click chemistry reactions should be analyzed and bettered to be applied to tissue engineering and 3D bioinks. The future scope of these materials is promising, including their applications in in situ 3D bioprinting for tissue or organ regeneration.

RSC Adv 2018; 8:7533-7549. [PMID: 35539132 PMCID: PMC9078458 DOI: 10.1039/c7ra13510f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 455] [Impact Index Per Article: 75.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2017] [Accepted: 02/12/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Functional active wound dressings are expected to provide a moist wound environment, offer protection from secondary infections, remove wound exudate and accelerate tissue regeneration, as well as to improve the efficiency of wound healing. Chitosan-based hydrogels are considered as ideal materials for enhancing wound healing owing to their biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, antimicrobial, biologically adhesive, biological activity and hemostatic effects. Chitosan-based hydrogels have been demonstrated to promote wound healing at different wound healing stages, and also can alleviate the factors against wound healing (such as excessive inflammatory and chronic wound infection). The unique biological properties of a chitosan-based hydrogel enable it to serve as both a wound dressing and as a drug delivery system (DDS) to deliver antibacterial agents, growth factors, stem cells and so on, which could further accelerate wound healing. For various kinds of wounds, chitosan-based hydrogels are able to promote the effectiveness of wound healing by modifying or combining with other polymers, and carrying different types of active substances. In this review, we will take a close look at the application of chitosan-based hydrogels in wound dressings and DDS to enhance wound healing.
