Wang X, Ding N, Liu H. Effect of microplastics on sodium hypochlorite disinfection and changes in its toxicity on zebrafish. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 363:142594. [PMID: 38871186 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in water may affect the efficacy of the disinfection process and induce toxicity changes to MPs themselves during disinfection. Therefore, this study evaluated the two-way effects of polyethylene microplastic (MP) particles in water and wastewater during sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) disinfection. On the one hand, it has been confirmed that the presence of MPs reduced the disinfection efficiency of NaClO. The required CT (concentration of the disinfection × contact time) for a 2-4-log inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in different water samples was in the order of deionized water < turbid water (1 NTU) < water with MPs (1 mg/L) < turbid water (10 NTU). On the other hand, although exposure to MPs did induce significant changes in the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione, compared to pristine MPs, the MPs treated by NaClO at current conditions (0.3 and 3.0 mg/L for 30 min) did not show significant changes in their toxicity on zebrafish, at an MP exposure concentration of 1 mg/L. There was no significant difference in the survival rate and weight growth rate, neither as in the activities of the oxidative stress-related enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione s-transferase) in both gut and muscle tissues of the zebrafish, between exposure to the pristine and NaClO-treated MPs. It is indicated that NaClO disinfection commonly applied for water and wastewater treatment would not pose a serious concern to effluent safety in the presence of mild levels of MPs.

Abstract
The integration of titanium (Ti)-based implants with bone is limited, resulting in implant failure. This lack of osteointegration is due to the foreign body response (FBR) that occurs after the implantation of biodevices. The process begins with protein adsorption, which is governed by implant surface properties, e.g., chemistry, charge, wettability, and/or topography. The distribution and composition of the protein layer in turn influence the recruitment, differentiation, and modulation of immune and bone cells. The subsequent events that occur at the bone-material interface will ultimately determine whether the implant is encapsulated or will integrate with bone. Despite the numerous studies evaluating the influence of surface properties in the various stages of the FBR, the factors that affect tissue-material interactions are often studied in isolation or in small correlations due to the technical challenges involved in assessing them in vitro or in vivo. Consequently, the influence of protein conformation on the Ti bone implant surface design remains an unresolved research question. The objective of this review is to comprehensively evaluate the existing literature on the effect of surface parameters of Ti and its alloys in the stages of FBR, with a particular focus on protein adsorption and osteoimmunomodulation. This evaluation aims to systematically describe these effects on bone formation.

Abstract
Macrophages are involved in every stage of the innate/inflammatory immune responses in the body tissues, including the resolution of the reaction, and they do so in close collaboration with the extracellular matrix (ECM). Simplified substrates with nanotopographical features attempt to mimic the structural properties of the ECM to clarify the functional features of the interaction of the ECM with macrophages. We still have a limited understanding of the macrophage behavior upon interaction with disordered nanotopography, especially with features smaller than 10 nm. Here, we combine atomic force microscopy (AFM), finite element modeling (FEM), and quantitative biochemical approaches in order to understand the mechanotransduction from the nanostructured surface into cellular responses. AFM experiments show a decrease of macrophage stiffness, measured with the Young's modulus, as a biomechanical response to a nanostructured (ns-) ZrOx surface. FEM experiments suggest that ZrOx surfaces with increasing roughness represent weaker mechanical boundary conditions. The mechanical cues from the substrate are transduced into the cell through the formation of integrin-regulated focal adhesions and cytoskeletal reorganization, which, in turn, modulate cell biomechanics by downregulating cell stiffness. Surface nanotopography and consequent biomechanical response impact the overall behavior of macrophages by increasing movement and phagocytic ability without significantly influencing their inflammatory behavior. Our study suggests a strong potential of surface nanotopography for the regulation of macrophage functions, which implies a prospective application relative to coating technology for biomedical devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alveolar bone defects caused by inflammation are an urgent issue in oral implant surgery that must be solved. Regulating the various phenotypes of macrophages to enhance the inflammatory environment can significantly affect the progression of diseases and tissue engineering repair process. AIM To assess the influence of interleukin-10 (IL-10) on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) following their interaction with macrophages in an inflammatory environment. METHODS IL-10 modulates the differentiation of peritoneal macrophages in Wistar rats in an inflammatory environment. In this study, we investigated its impact on the proliferation, migration, and osteogenesis of BMSCs. The expression levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and its activated form, phosphorylated-STAT3, were examined in IL-10-stimulated macrophages. Subsequently, a specific STAT3 signaling inhibitor was used to impede STAT3 signal activation to further investigate the role of STAT3 signaling. RESULTS IL-10-stimulated macrophages underwent polarization to the M2 type through substitution, and these M2 macrophages actively facilitated the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Mechanistically, STAT3 signaling plays a crucial role in the process by which IL-10 influences macrophages. Specifically, IL-10 stimulated the activation of the STAT3 signaling pathway and reduced the macrophage inflammatory response, as evidenced by its diminished impact on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. CONCLUSION Stimulating macrophages with IL-10 proved effective in improving the inflammatory environment and promoting the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The IL-10/STAT3 signaling pathway has emerged as a key regulator in the macrophage-mediated control of BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Given the crucial role of periosteum in bone repair, the use of artificial periosteum to induce spontaneous bone healing instead of using bone substitutes has become a potential strategy. Also, the proper transition from pro-inflammatory signals to anti-inflammatory signals is pivotal for achieving optimal repair outcomes. Hence, we designed an artificial periosteum loaded with a filamentous bacteriophage clone named P11, featuring an aligned fiber morphology. P11 endowed the artificial periosteum with the capacity to recruit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The artificial periosteum also regulated the immune microenvironment at the bone injury site through the synergistic effects of biochemical factors and topography. Specifically, the inclusion of P11 preserved inflammatory signaling in macrophages and additionally facilitated the migration of BMSCs. Subsequently, aligned fibers stimulated macrophages, inducing alterations in cytoskeletal and metabolic activities, resulting in the polarization into the M2 phenotype. This progression encouraged the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and promoted vascularization. In vivo experiments showed that the new bone generated in the AP group exhibited the most efficient healing pattern. Overall, the integration of biochemical factors with topographical considerations for sequential immunomodulation during bone repair indicates a promising approach for artificial periosteum development. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The appropriate transition of macrophages from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype is pivotal for achieving optimal bone repair outcomes. Hence, we designed an artificial periosteum featuring an aligned fiber morphology and loaded with specific phage clones. The artificial periosteum not only fostered the recruitment of BMSCs but also achieved sequential regulation of the immune microenvironment through the synergistic effects of biochemical factors and topography, and improved the effect of bone repair. This study indicates that the integration of biochemical factors with topographical considerations for sequential immunomodulation during bone repair is a promising approach for artificial periosteum development.

Abstract
The use of biomaterials in biomedicine and healthcare has increased in recent years. Macrophages are the primary immune cells that induce inflammation and tissue repair after implantation of biomaterials. Given that macrophages exhibit high heterogeneity and plasticity, the influence of biomaterials on macrophage phenotype should be considered a crucial evaluation criterion during the development of novel biomaterials. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the physicochemical, biological, and dynamic characteristics of biomaterials that drive the regulation of immune responses in macrophages. The mechanisms involved in the interaction between macrophages and biomaterials, including endocytosis, receptors, signalling pathways, integrins, inflammasomes and long non-coding RNAs, are summarised in this review. In addition, research prospects of the interaction between macrophages and biomaterials are discussed. An in-depth understanding of mechanisms underlying the spatiotemporal changes in macrophage phenotype induced by biomaterials and their impact on macrophage polarization can facilitate the identification and development of novel biomaterials with superior performance. These biomaterials may be used for tissue repair and regeneration, vaccine or drug delivery and immunotherapy.

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
Controlled regeneration processes involving tissue growth using the surface and structure of scaffolds, are actively used in tissue engineering. Reactive magnetron sputtering is a versatile surface modification method of both metal and polymer substrates, as the properties of the formed coatings can be modified in a wide range by changing the process parameters. In magnetron sputtering, the working gas and its composition have an influence on the chemical composition and physical characteristics of the obtained coatings. However, there are no studies addressing the influence of the nitrogen/xenon gas mixture ratio in direct current magnetron sputtering on the deposition rate, physicochemical and in vitro properties of surface-modified biocompatible poly-L-lactic acid scaffolds. In this study, the application of mixtures of nitrogen and xenon in various ratios is demonstrated to modify the surface of non-woven poly-L-lactic acid scaffolds by direct current magnetron sputtering of a titanium target. It has been found that the magnetron sputtering parameters chosen do not negatively influence the morphology of the prepared scaffolds, but increase the hydrophilicity. Moreover, quantitative spectroscopic analysis results indicate that the formed coatings are primarily composed of titanium oxide and titanium oxynitride compounds and is dependent on the gas mixture ratio only to a certain extent. Atomic force microscopy investigations of the roughness of the fibers of the electrospun scaffolds and the thickness of the coatings formed on them show that the considerable variations observed in the intrinsic fiber reliefs are due to the formation of a fine layer on the fiber surfaces. The observed decrease in roughness after plasma modification is due to temperature and radiation effects of the plasma. In vitro experiments with human osteosarcoma cells show that the scaffolds investigated here have no cytotoxic effect on these cells. The cells adhere and proliferate well on each of the surface-modified electrospun scaffolds, with stimulation of cell differentiation in the osteogenic direction.

Abstract
Magnesium phosphate (MgP) has garnered growing interest in hard tissue replacement processes due to having similar biological characteristics to calcium phosphate (CaP). In this study, an MgP coating with the newberyite (MgHPO4·3H2O) was prepared on the surface of pure titanium (Ti) using the phosphate chemical conversion (PCC) method. The influence of reaction temperature on the phase composition, microstructure, and properties of coatings was systematically researched with the use of an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM), a contact angle goniometer, and a tensile testing machine. The formation mechanism of MgP coating on Ti was also explored. In addition, the corrosion resistance of the coatings on Ti was researched by assessing the electrochemical behavior in 0.9% NaCl solution using an electrochemical workstation. The results showed that temperature did not obviously affect the phase composition of the MgP coatings, but affected the growth and nucleation of newberyite crystals. In addition, an increase in reaction temperature had a great impact on properties including surface roughness, thickness, bonding strength, and corrosion resistance. Higher reaction temperatures resulted in more continuous MgP, larger grain size, higher density, and better corrosion resistance.

Wang C, Wu J, Liu L, Xu D, Liu Y, Li S, Hou W, Wang J, Chen X, Sheng L, Lin H, Yu D. Improving osteoinduction and osteogenesis of Ti6Al4V alloy porous scaffold by regulating the pore structure. Front Chem 2023; 11:1190630. [PMID: 37265590 PMCID: PMC10229796 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1190630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Titanium alloy scaffolds with a porous structure have attracted much attention in bone defect repair. However, which pore structure is more beneficial to bone defect repair is controversial. In the present research, the Ti6Al4V alloy porous scaffolds with gradient pore sizes were designed and fabricated. The microstructure characterization, tests of mechanical properties, and in vitro and in vivo experiments have been performed to systematically evaluate the effect of pore size on osteoinduction and osteogenesis. The results revealed that the contact angle with water, compressive strength, and elastic modulus of the Ti6Al4V alloy porous scaffolds decreased gradually with the increase of pore size. However, there were obvious drops when the pore size of the porous scaffold was around 600 μm. As the pore size increased, the proliferation and integrin β1 of RAW 264.7 macrophages seeded on Ti6Al4V alloy porous scaffolds increased at first, reaching a maximum value at a pore size of around 600 μm, and then decreased subsequently. The proliferation, integrin β1, and osteogenic gene-related expressions of Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded on Ti6Al4V alloy porous scaffolds with different pore sizes all exhibited similar variations which rose with increased pore size firstly, obtaining the maximum value at pore size about 600 μm, and then declined. The in vivo experiments confirmed the in vitro results, and the Ti6Al4V alloy porous scaffold with a pore size of 600 μm possessed the better capability to induce new bone formation. Therefore, for the design of Ti6Al4V alloy with a regular porous scaffold, the surface morphology, porosity, strength, and elastic modulus should be considered systematically, which would determine the capability of osteoinduction and osteogenesis.

Relevant Aspects of Titanium Topography for Osteoblastic Adhesion and Inhibition of Bacterial Colonization. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:ma16093553. [PMID: 37176435 PMCID: PMC10180273 DOI: 10.3390/ma16093553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
The influence of the surface topography of dental implants has been studied to optimize titanium surfaces in order to improve osseointegration. Different techniques can be used to obtain rough titanium, however, their effect on wettability, surface energy, as well as bacterial and cell adhesion and differentiation has not been studied deeply. Two-hundred disks made of grade 4 titanium were subjected to different treatments: machined titanium (MACH), acid-attacked titanium (AE), titanium sprayed with abrasive alumina particles under pressure (GBLAST), and titanium that has been treated with GBLAST and then subjected to AE (GBLAST + AE). The roughness of the different treatments was determined by confocal microscopy, and the wettability was determined by the sessile drop technique; then, the surface energy of each treatment was calculated. Osteoblast-like cells (SaOs-2) were cultured, and alkaline phosphatase was determined using a colorimetric test. Likewise, bacterial strains S. gordonii, S. oralis, A. viscosus, and E. faecalis were cultured, and proliferation on the different surfaces was determined. It could be observed that the roughness of the GBLAST and GBLAS + AE was higher, at 1.99 and 2.13 μm of Ra, with respect to the AE and MACH samples, which were 0.35 and 0.20 μm, respectively. The abrasive treated surfaces showed lower hydrophilicity but lower surface energy. Significant differences could be seen at 21 days between SaOS-2 osteoblastic cell adhesion for the blasted ones and higher osteocalcin levels. However, no significant differences in terms of bacterial proliferation were observed between the four surfaces studied, demonstrating the insensitivity of bacteria to topography. These results may help in the search for the best topographies for osteoblast behavior and for the inhibition of bacterial colonization.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate a cost-effective alternative to man-made calcium phosphate ceramics for treating bone defects. The slipper limpet is an invasive species in European coastal waters, and its shells composed of calcium carbonate could potentially be a cost-effective source of bone graft substitutes. This research analyzed the mantle of the slipper limpet (Crepidula fornicata) shells to enhance in vitro bone formation. Discs machined from the mantle of C. fornicata were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray crystallography (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and profilometry. Calcium release and bioactivity were also studied. Cell attachment, proliferation, and osteoblastic differentiation (RT-qPCR and alkaline phosphatase activity) were measured in human adipose-derived stem cells grown on the mantle surface. The mantle material was mainly composed of aragonite and showed a sustained Ca2+ release at physiological pH. In addition, apatite formation was observed in simulated body fluid after three weeks, and the materials supported osteoblastic differentiation. Overall, our findings suggest the mantle of C. fornicata shows potential as a material for fabricating bone graft substitutes and structural biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The immuno-compatibility of implant materials is a key issue for both initial and long-term implant integration. Ceramic implants have several advantages that make them highly promising for long-term medical solutions. These beneficial characteristics include such things as the material availability, possibility to manufacture various shapes and surface structures, osteo-inductivity and osteo-conductivity, low level of corrosion and general biocompatibility. The immuno-compatibility of an implant essentially depends on the interaction with local resident immune cells and, first of all, macrophages. However, in the case of ceramics, these interactions are insufficiently understood and require intensive experimental examinations. Our review summarizes the state of the art in variants of ceramic implants: mechanical properties, different chemical modifications of the basic material, surface structures and modifications, implant shapes and porosity. We collected the available information about the interaction of ceramics with the immune system and highlighted the studies that reported ceramic-specific local or systemic effects on the immune system. We disclosed the gaps in knowledge and outlined the perspectives for the identification to ceramic-specific interactions with the immune system using advanced quantitative technologies. We discussed the approaches for ceramic implant modification and pointed out the need for data integration using mathematic modelling of the multiple ceramic implant characteristics and their contribution for long-term implant bio- and immuno-compatibility.

Abstract
Background and Purpose In clinical application of dental implants, the functional state of dendritic cells (DCs) has been suggested to have a close relationship with the implant survival rate or speed of osseointegration. Although microscale surfaces have a stable osteogenesis property, they also incline to trigger unfavorable DCs activation and threaten the osseointegration process. Nanoscale structures have an advantage in regulating cell immune response through orchestrating cell adhesion, indicating the potential of hierarchical micro/nanostructured surface in regulation of DCs’ activation without sacrificing the advantage of microscale topography. Materials and Methods Two micro/nanostructures were fabricated based on microscale rough surfaces through anodization or alkali treatment, the sand-blasted and acid-etched (SA) surface served as control. The surface characteristics, in vitro and in vivo DC immune reactions and β2 integrin-FAK signal expression were systematically investigated. The DC responses to different surface topographies after FAK inhibition were also tested. Results Both micro/nano-modified surfaces exhibited unique composite structures, with higher hydrophilicity and lower roughness compared to the SA surface. The DCs showed relatively immature functional states with round morphologies and significantly downregulated β2 integrin-FAK levels on micro/nanostructures. Implant surfaces with micro/nano-topographies also triggered lower levels of DC inflammatory responses than SA surfaces in vivo. The inhibited FAK activation effectively reduced the differences in topography-caused DC activation and narrowed the differences in DC activation among the three groups. Conclusion Compared to the SA surface with solely micro-scale topography, titanium surfaces with hybrid micro/nano-topographies reduced DC inflammatory response by influencing their adhesion states. This regulatory effect was accompanied by the modulation of β2 integrin-FAK signal expression. The β2 integrin-FAK-mediated adhesion plays a critical role in topography-induced DC activation, which represents a potential target for material–cell interaction regulation.

Abstract
![]()
Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a disruptive
technique
within healthcare because of its ability to provide personalized devices;
however, printed metal parts still present surface and microstructural
defects, which may compromise mechanical and biological interactions.
This has made physical and/or chemical postprocessing techniques essential
for metal AM devices, although limited fundamental knowledge is available
on how alterations in physicochemical properties influence AM biological
outcomes. For this purpose, herein, powder bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V samples
were postprocessed with three industrially relevant techniques: polishing,
passivation, and vibratory finishing. These surfaces were thoroughly
characterized in terms of roughness, chemistry, wettability, surface
free energy, and surface ζ-potential. A significant increase
in Staphylococcus epidermidis colonization
was observed on both polished and passivated samples, which was linked
to high surface free energy donor γ– values
in the acid–base, γAB component. Early osteoblast
attachment and proliferation (24 h) were not influenced by these properties,
although increased mineralization was observed for both these samples.
In contrast, osteoblast differentiation on stainless steel was driven
by a combination of roughness and chemistry. Collectively, this study
highlights that surface free energy is a key driver between AM surfaces
and cell interactions. In particular, while low acid–base components
resulted in a desired reduction in S. epidermidis colonization, this was followed by reduced mineralization. Thus,
while surface free energy can be used as a guide to AM device development,
optimization of bacterial and mammalian cell interactions should be
attained through a combination of different postprocessing techniques.

Abstract
Delivery of plasmid DNA to transfect human primary macrophages is extremely difficult, especially for genetic engineering. Engineering macrophages is imperative for the treatment of many diseases including infectious diseases, cancer, neurological diseases, and aging. Unfortunately, plasmid does not cross the nuclear membranes of terminally differentiated macrophages to integrate the plasmid DNA (pDNA) into their genome. To address this issue, we have developed a core-shell nanoparticle (NP) using our newly created cationic lipid to deliver the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 pDNA (IL-4pDNA-NPs). Human blood monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) were effectively transfected with IL-4pDNA-NPs. IL-4pDNA-NPs were internalized in MDM within 30 minutes and delivered into the nucleus within 2 hours. Exogenous IL-4 expression was detected within 1 - 2 days and continued up to 30 days. Functional IL-4 expression led to M2 macrophage polarization in vitro and in an in vivo mouse model of inflammation. These data suggest that these NPs can protect pDNA from degradation by nucleases once inside the cell, and can transport pDNA into the nucleus to enhance gene delivery in macrophages in vitro and in vivo. In this research, we developed a new method to deliver plasmids into the nucleus of monocytes and macrophages for gene-editing. Introducing IL-4 pDNA into macrophages provides a new gene therapy solution for the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
Bone presents an intrinsic ability for self-regeneration and repair, however critical defects and large fractures require invasive and time-consuming clinical interventions. As an alternative to current therapy, bone tissue engineering (BTE) has primarily aimed to recreate the bone microenvironment by delivering key biomolecules and/or by modification of scaffolds to guide cell fate towards the osteogenic lineage or other phenotypes that may benefit the bone regeneration mechanism. Considering that bone cells communicate, in their native microenvironment, through biochemical and physical signals, most strategies fail when considering only chemical, geometrical or mechanical cues. This is not representative of the physiological conditions, where the cells are simultaneously in contact and stimulated by several cues. Therefore, this review explores the synergistic effect of biochemical/physical cues in regulating cellular events, namely cell adhesion, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization, highlighting the importance of the combined modifications for the development of innovative bone regenerative therapies.

Nanoscale Modification of Titanium Implants Improves Behaviors of Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Osteogenesis In Vivo. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:2235335.

Abstract
The surficial micro/nanotopography and physiochemical properties of titanium implants are essential for osteogenesis. However, these surface characters' influence on stem cell behaviors and osteogenesis is still not fully understood. In this study, titanium implants with different surface roughness, nanostructure, and wettability were fabricated by further nanoscale modification of sandblasted and acid-etched titanium (SLA: sandblasted and acid-etched) by H2O2 treatment (hSLAs: H2O2 treated SLA). The rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs: rat bone mesenchymal stem cells) are cultured on SLA and hSLA surfaces, and the cell behaviors of attachment, spreading, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation are further analyzed. Measurements of surface characteristics show hSLA surface is equipped with nanoscale pores on microcavities and appeared to be hydrophilic. In vitro cell studies demonstrated that the hSLA titanium significantly enhances cell response to attachment, spreading, and proliferation. The hSLAs with proper degree of H2O2 etching (h1SLA: treating SLA with H2O2 for 1 hour) harvest the best improvement of differentiation of rBMSCs. Finally, the osteogenesis in beagle dogs was tested, and the h1SLA implants perform much better bone formation than SLA implants. These results indicate that the nanoscale modification of SLA titanium surface endowing nanostructures, roughness, and wettability could significantly improve the behaviors of bone mesenchymal stem cells and osteogenesis on the scaffold surface. These nanoscale modified SLA titanium scaffolds, fabricated in our study with enhanced cell affinity and osteogenesis, had great potential for implant dentistry.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in drinking water and pose potential threats to human health. Despite increasingly attentions on the toxicity of MPs, the deleterious effects of MPs after chlorine disinfection, which might be a more accessible form of MPs, has rarely been considered. Here, we first treated pristine polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) with chlorine to simulate the reactions that occur during drinking water treatment, and investigated and compared the cytotoxicity of chlorinated PS-MPs to those of pristine PS-MPs. Chlorine disinfection did not change the size of pristine PS-MPs, but increased the surface roughness. In addition, abundant carbon-chlorine bonds and persistent free radicals were generated on the surface of chlorinated PS-MPs. Compared with pristine PS-MPs, chlorinated PS-MPs markedly inhibited the cell proliferation, changed cellular morphology, destroyed cell membrane integrity, induced cell inflammatory response and apoptosis. Proteomics confirmed the difference in interactions with intracellular proteins between these particles. Furthermore, we found that the regulation of PI3K/AKT and Bcl-2/Bax pathways, oxidative stress-triggered mitochondrial depolarization, and the activation of caspase cascade were identified as the underlying mechanisms for the enhanced apoptosis ratio in GES-1 cells when exposed to chlorinated PS-MPs. This exacerbated cytotoxicity could be explained by the enhanced surface roughness and changed surface chemistry of these PS-MPs after chlorine disinfection. This work discloses the impacts of chlorine disinfection on the cytotoxicity of PS-MPs, which provides new insights for a more systematic risk assessment of MPs.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Among all the materials used so far to replace and repair damaged bone tissues, magnesium silicate bioceramics are one of the most promising, thanks to their biocompatibility, osteoinductive properties and good mechanical stability. EXPERIMENTS Magnesium silicate cement pastes were prepared by hydration of MgO mixed with different SiO2 batches at different Mg/Si molar ratios. Pastes were either moulded or 3D printed to obtain set cements that were then calcined at 1000 °C to produce biologically relevant ceramic materials. Both cements and ceramics were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, while two selected formulations were thoroughly characterized by means of injectability tests, Raman confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, gas porosimetry, X-ray microtomography and compressive tests. FINDINGS The results show that bioceramic scaffolds, namely forsterite and clinoenstatite, can be effectively obtained by 3D printing MgO/SiO2 cement pastes, paving the way towards important advances in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Porous Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium scaffolds made by electron beam-based additive manufacturing (AM) have emerged as state-of-the-art implant devices. However, there is still limited knowledge on how they influence the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). In this study, BMSCs are cultured on such porous scaffolds to determine how the scaffolds influence the osteogenic differentiation of the cells. The scaffolds are biocompatible, as revealed by the increasing cell viability. Cells are evenly distributed on the scaffolds after 3 days of culturing followed by an increase in bone matrix development after 21 days of culturing. qPCR analysis provides insight into the cells' osteogenic differentiation, where RUNX2 expression indicate the onset of differentiation towards osteoblasts. The COL1A1 expression suggests that the differentiated osteoblasts can produce the osteoid. Alkaline phosphatase staining indicates an onset of mineralization at day 7 in OM. The even deposits of calcium at day 21 further supports a successful bone mineralization. This work shines light on the interplay between AM Ti64 scaffolds and bone growth, which may ultimately lead to a new way of creating long lasting bone implants with fast recovery times.

Benefits of cryopreservation as long-term storage method of encapsulated cardiosphere-derived cells for cardiac therapy: A biomechanical analysis. Int J Pharm 2021; 607:121014.

Abstract
Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) encapsulated within alginate-poly-L-lysine-alginate (APA) microcapsules present a promising treatment alternative for myocardial infarction. However, clinical translatability of encapsulated CDCs requires robust long-term preservation of microcapsule and cell stability, since cell culture at 37 °C for long periods prior to patient implantation involve high resource, space and manpower costs, sometimes unaffordable for clinical facilities. Cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen is a well-established procedure to easily store cells with good recovery rate, but its effects on encapsulated cells are understudied. In this work, we assess both the biological response of CDCs and the mechanical stability of microcapsules after long-term (i.e., 60 days) cryopreservation and compare them to encapsulated CDCs cultured at 37 °C. We investigate for the first time the effects of cryopreservation on stiffness and topographical features of microcapsules for cell therapy. Our results show that functionality of encapsulated CDCs is optimum during 7 days at 37 °C, while cryopreservation seems to better guarantee the stability of both CDCs and APA microcapsules properties during longer storage than 15 days. These results point out cryopreservation as a suitable technique for long-term storage of encapsulated cells to be translated from the bench to the clinic.

Abstract
Bone is a self-regenerative tissue that can repair small defects and fractures. In large defects, bone tissue is unable to provide nutrients and oxygen for repair, and autologous grafting is used as the gold standard. As an alternative method, the bone tissue regeneration approach uses osteoconductive biomaterials to overcome bone graft disadvantages. However, biomaterials are considered as foreign components that can stimulate host immune responses. Although traditional principles have been aimed to minimize immune reactions, the design of biomaterials has steadily shifted toward creating an immunomodulatory microenvironment to harness immune cells and responses to repair damaged tissue. Among immune cells, macrophages secrete various immunomodulatory mediators and crosstalk with bone-forming cells and play key roles in bone tissue engineering. Macrophage polarization toward M1 and M2 subtypes mediate pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, respectively, which are crucial for bone repairing at different stages. This review provides an overview of the crosstalk between various immune cells and biomaterials, macrophage polarization, and the effect of physicochemical properties of biomaterials on the immune responses, especially macrophages, in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Aims The use of 3D-printed titanium implant (DT) can effectively guide bone regeneration. DT triggers a continuous host immune reaction, including macrophage type 1 polarization, that resists osseointegration. Interleukin 4 (IL4) is a specific cytokine modulating osteogenic capability that switches macrophage polarization type 1 to type 2, and this switch favours bone regeneration. Methods IL4 at concentrations of 0, 30, and 100 ng/ml was used at day 3 to create a biomimetic environment for bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell (BMMSC) osteogenesis and macrophage polarization on the DT. The osteogenic and immune responses of BMMSCs and macrophages were evaluated respectively. Results DT plus 30 ng/ml of IL4 (DT + 30 IL4) from day 3 to day 7 significantly (p < 0.01) enhanced macrophage type 2 polarization and BMMSC osteogenesis compared with the other groups. Local injection of IL4 enhanced new bone formation surrounding the DT. Conclusion DT + 30 IL4 may switch macrophage polarization at the appropriate timepoints to promote bone regeneration.

Abstract
Current understanding on the interactions between micro/nano-structured Ti surfaces and macrophages is still limited. In this work, TiO2 nano-structures were introduced onto acid-etched Ti surfaces by alkali-heat treatment, ion exchange and subsequent heat treatment. By adjusting the concentration of NaOH during alkali-heat treatment, nano-flakes, nano-flakes mixed with nano-wires or nano-wires could formed on acid-etched Ti surfaces. The micro- and micro/nano-structured Ti surfaces possessed similar surface chemical and phase compositions. In vitro results indicate that the morphology of macrophages was highly dependent on the morphological features of nano-structures. Nano-flakes and nano-wires were favorable to induce the formation of lamellipodia and filopodia, respectively. Compared to micro-structured Ti surface, micro/nano-structured Ti surfaces polarized macrophages to their M2 phenotype and enhanced the gene expressions of osteogenic growth factors in macrophages. The M2 polarized macrophages promoted the maturation of osteoblasts. Compared to that with nano-flakes or nano-wires, the surface with mixed features of nano-flakes and nano-wires exhibited stronger anti-inflammatory and osteo-immunomodulatory effects. The findings presented in the current work suggest that introducing micro/nano-topographies onto Ti-based implant surfaces is a promising strategy to modulate the inflammatory response and mediate osteogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The success of a dental implant system not only depends on appropriate osseointegration at the bone-implant interface, but also on robust soft-tissue integration (STI)/muco-integration at the transmucosal region. However, numerous studies have reported that the STI quality of conventional smooth and bio-inert titanium-based transmucosal components is significantly inferior to that of natural teeth, which may compromise the long-term success of implant restorations. In this review article, we discuss the structural and histological characteristics of peri-implant tissues; compare the roles of various cells residing in the transmucosal region and explore the material-based challenges that must be addressed to achieve early establishment and long-term maintenance of STI. METHODS This extensive review article critically compares and contrasts the findings from articles published in the domain of 'soft-tissue integration around Ti dental implants'. RESULTS Histological characteristics, including poorer epithelial attachment and absence of direct collagen-implant/abutment integration, are responsible for the inferior STI strength around dental implants/abutments. Furthermore, various cellular functions during STI establishment and maturation at the abutment-mucosa interface must be modulated to achieve early STI. Moreover, we discuss and detail the challenges of achieving robust STI, including the presence of oral bacterial milieu, as well as material and corrosion related issues. Finally, research challenges towards achieving and maintaining robust STI are discussed, targeting the future directions to enhance the long-term survival of implant restorations. SIGNIFICANCE Based on its histological characteristics, STI on current implant/abutment surfaces is suboptimal compared to the periodontal attachment found at teeth, making implants potentially more susceptible to disease initiation and progression. To obtain stable STI at the trasmucosal region, it is essential for future studies to design customized implant systems, with enhanced surface bioactivity and tailorable therapeutic capacity, which can improve the long-term success of implant restorations, especially in compromised conditions.

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.

The demand for biomaterials that promote the repair, replacement, or restoration of hard and soft tissues continues to grow as the population ages. Traditionally, smart biomaterials have been thought as those that respond to stimuli. However, the continuous evolution of the field warrants a fresh look at the concept of smartness of biomaterials. This review presents a redefinition of the term "Smart Biomaterial" and discusses recent advances in and applications of smart biomaterials for hard tissue restoration and regeneration. To clarify the use of the term "smart biomaterials", we propose four degrees of smartness according to the level of interaction of the biomaterials with the bio-environment and the biological/cellular responses they elicit, defining these materials as inert, active, responsive, and autonomous. Then, we present an up-to-date survey of applications of smart biomaterials for hard tissues, based on the materials' responses (external and internal stimuli) and their use as immune-modulatory biomaterials. Finally, we discuss the limitations and obstacles to the translation from basic research (bench) to clinical utilization that is required for the development of clinically relevant applications of these technologies.

Bionic Silk Fibroin Film Induces Morphological Changes and Differentiation of Tendon Stem/Progenitor Cells. Appl Bionics Biomech 2020; 2020:8865841. [PMID: 33343699 PMCID: PMC7725557 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8865841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2020] [Revised: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Tendon injuries are common musculoskeletal system disorders, but the ability for tendon regeneration is limited. Silk fibroin (SF) film may be suitable for tendon regeneration due to its excellent biocompatibility and physical properties. This study is aimed at evaluating the application value of bionic SF film in tendon regeneration. Methods Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) were isolated from rat Achilles tendon and characterized based on their surface marker expression and multilineage differentiation potential. SF films with smooth or bionic microstructure surfaces (5, 10, 15, 20 μm) were prepared. The morphology and mechanical properties of natural tendons and SF films were characterized. TSPCs were used as the seed cells, and the cell viability and cell adhesion morphology were analyzed. The tendongenesis-related gene expression of TSPCs was also evaluated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results Compared to the native tendon, only the 10, 15, and 20 μm SF film groups had comparable maximum loading and ultimate stress, with the exception of the breaking elongation rate. The 10 μm SF film group had the highest percentage of oriented cells and the most significant changes in cell morphology. The most significant upregulations in the expression of COL1A1, TNC, TNMD, and SCX were also observed in the 10 μm SF film group. Conclusion SF film with a bionic microstructure can serve as a tissue engineering scaffold and provide biophysical cues for the use of TSPCs to achieve proper cellular adherence arrangement and morphology as well as promote the tenogenic differentiation of TSPCs, making it a valuable customizable biomaterial for future applications in tendon repair.

Abstract
Biomedical scientists use chemistry-driven processes found in nature as an inspiration to design biomaterials as promising diagnostic tools, therapeutic solutions, or tissue substitutes. While substantial consideration is devoted to the design and validation of biomaterials, the nature of their interactions with the surrounding biological microenvironment is commonly neglected. This gap of knowledge could be owing to our poor understanding of biochemical signaling pathways, lack of reliable techniques for designing biomaterials with optimal physicochemical properties, and/or poor stability of biomaterial properties after implantation. The success of host responses to biomaterials, known as biocompatibility, depends on chemical principles as the root of both cell signaling pathways in the body and how the biomaterial surface is designed. Most of the current review papers have discussed chemical engineering and biological principles of designing biomaterials as separate topics, which has resulted in neglecting the main role of chemistry in this field. In this review, we discuss biocompatibility in the context of chemistry, what it is and how to assess it, while describing contributions from both biochemical cues and biomaterials as well as the means of harmonizing them. We address both biochemical signal-transduction pathways and engineering principles of designing a biomaterial with an emphasis on its surface physicochemistry. As we aim to show the role of chemistry in the crosstalk between the surface physicochemical properties and body responses, we concisely highlight the main biochemical signal-transduction pathways involved in the biocompatibility complex. Finally, we discuss the progress and challenges associated with the current strategies used for improving the chemical and physical interactions between cells and biomaterial surface.

Abstract
Ti6Al4V used in biomedical applications still has several surface-related problems, such as poor bone compatibility and low wear resistance. In this work, the formation of a protective layer of titanium nitride obtained by plasma treatment in hollow cathode was studied, and the best experimental conditions were verified by a statistical factorial design of experiments. The samples were characterized in terms of their physical and chemical properties, correlating the effects of time (min) and temperature (°C). An achieved ideal condition was further analysed in terms of in vitro cytotoxicity, micro-abrasion, and electrochemical properties. The carried-out assessment has shown that nitrided condition has an improvement in wettability, microhardness, along with TixNy formation and roughness increment, when compared to pristine condition.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization has become increasingly important for the improvement of the biocompatibility of biomaterials. In this study, we coated Ti discs with phospholipids (phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine [4:1 mole/mole]) by evaporating the solvent under vacuum, and observed the polarization of RAW 264.7 cells cultured on the discs. The coated discs were hydrated before cell culture was added. The shape of the hydrated phospholipids varied with the concentration of loaded phospholipids: a perforated layer (0.1 mM), tubules and spheres (1 mM), and spheres (10 mM). RAW 264.7 cells exhibited different morphologies, depending on the concentration of phospholipids. On the coated discs, the gene expression and protein release of TGF-β1, VEGF, Arg-1, and TNF-α were downregulated, especially with 10 mM phospholipids. The stimulation of mRNA expression and the protein release of those genes by IL-4 and LPS were also disturbed on the phospholipid-coated discs. In conclusion, the polarization of RAW 264.7 cells was prevented by hydrated phospholipids on Ti discs.

Abstract
It has been widely shown that biomaterial surface topography can modulate host immune response, but a fundamental understanding of how different topographies contribute to pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory responses is still lacking. To investigate the impact of surface topography on immune response, we undertook a systematic approach by analyzing immune response to eight grades of medical grade polyurethane of increasing surface roughness in three in vitro models of the human immune system. Polyurethane specimens were produced with defined roughness values by injection molding according to the VDI 3400 industrial standard. Specimens ranged from 0.1 μm to 18 μm in average roughness (Ra), which was confirmed by confocal scanning microscopy. Immunological responses were assessed with THP-1-derived macrophages, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and whole blood following culture on polyurethane specimens. As shown by the release of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in all three models, a mild immune response to polyurethane was observed, however, this was not associated with the degree of surface roughness. Likewise, the cell morphology (cell spreading, circularity, and elongation) in THP-1-derived macrophages and the expression of CD molecules in the PBMC model on T cells (HLA-DR and CD16), NK cells (HLA-DR), and monocytes (HLA-DR, CD16, CD86, and CD163) showed no influence of surface roughness. In summary, this study shows that modifying surface roughness in the micrometer range on polyurethane has no impact on the pro-inflammatory immune response. Therefore, we propose that such modifications do not affect the immunocompatibility of polyurethane, thereby supporting the notion of polyurethane as a biocompatible material.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The impact of the implant surface material and roughness on inflammatory processes in peri-implantitis is not entirely clear. Hence, we investigated how titanium and zirconia surfaces with different roughness influence the susceptibility of primary human gingival fibroblasts to different inflammatory stimuli. METHODS Primary human gingival fibroblasts were isolated from 8 healthy individuals and cultured on following surfaces: smooth titanium machined surface (TiM), smooth zirconia machined surface (ZrM), moderately rough titanium surface (SLA), or moderately rough zirconia surface (ZLA). Subsequently, stimulation with one of the following stimuli was performed: Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β. The resulting production of IL-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 was measured by qPCR and ELISA. RESULTS P. gingivalis LPS induced IL-6 and MCP-1 production was slightly higher on titanium surfaces compared to zirconia surfaces. IL-1β induced IL-6 production was not affected by any surface characteristic. The production of MCP-1 in response to IL-1β was higher on smooth compared to rough surfaces and was not affected by the material. The production of IL-6 and MCP-1 in response to TNF-α was most strongly affected by surface characteristics. Higher production of these cytokine was observed on smooth compared to rough surfaces and on titanium compared to zirconia surfaces. Surface characteristics had only minor effects on IL-8 production. SIGNIFICANCE The susceptibility of primary gingival fibroblasts to inflammation depends on various factors, such as surface material, surface roughness and the nature of inflammatory stimuli. All these factors might determine susceptibility to peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer widely used for the realization of 3D scaffold for tissue engineering applications. The hot embossing technique (HE) allows the obtainment of PCL scaffolds with a regular array of micro pillars on their surface. The main drawback affecting this kind of micro fabrication process is that such structural superficial details can be damaged when detaching the replica from the mold. Therefore, the present study has focused on the optimization of the HE processes through the development of an analytical model for the prediction of the demolding force as a function of temperature. This model allowed calculating the minimum demolding force to obtain regular micropillars without defects. We demonstrated that the results obtained by the analytical model agree with the experimental data. To address the importance of controlling accurately the fabricated microstructures, we seeded on the PCL scaffolds human stromal cell line (HS-5) and monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1) to evaluate how the presence of regular or deformed pillars affect cells viability. In vitro viability results, scanning electron and fluorescence microscope imaging analysis show that the HS-5 preferentially grows on regular microstructured surfaces, while the THP-1 on irregular microstructured ones.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has a promising application as coating of biomaterials due to its favorable degradability and bioadaptability. However, its bioactivity, such as anti-inflammatory capacity, was still little known. Herein, we investigated whether degradable products of PDA could affect inflammatory response in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human THP-1-derived macrophages. The supernatants containing degradation products of PDA, annotated as PDA extracts, were collected after PDA being immersed in cell culture medium for 3 days. Wherein, the composition of the degradation products was analyzed by HPLC assay. Collected PDA extracts were diluted into 100%, 50%, and 25% of original concentration, respectively, to evaluate their anti-inflammatory ability on LPS-induced macrophages from the expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines to associated molecular mechanism. Our results showed that the PDA extracts were mainly composed of dopamine, quinine, and PDA segments. Furthermore, macrophages showed no cytotoxicity after PDA extract treatment with or without LPS, while the release levels of TNF-α and IL-6 by LPS-induced macrophages were decreased in dose-dependent by PDA extract treatment. Additionally, TLR-4 and MYD88 expression in protein and RNA level were downregulated by PDA extracts in LPS-induced macrophages. Similarly, PDA extracts effectively inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB trans-locating into nuclear by inactivation of the phosphorylation of IKK-α/β and IKβ-α. Of note, the production of LPS-induced ROS was reduced by PDA extracts in macrophages, while HO-1 expression, a critical protein of antioxidant signaling pathway, was increased. Based on these results, we proposed a potential mechanism by which degradation products of PDA suppressed inflammation of macrophages via downregulation TLR-4-MYD88-NFκB pathway and simultaneous activation HO-1 pathway, which might be a possible therapeutic target.

Abstract
The improvement in the research area of the implant by surface functionalization when correlated with the biological response is of major interest in the biomedical field. Based on the fact that the inflammatory response is directly involved in the ultimate response of the implant within the body, it is essential to study the macrophage-material interactions. Within this context, we have investigated the composite material-macrophage cell interactions and the inflammatory response to these composites with amorphous hydroxyapatite (HA), Lactoferrin (Lf), and polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (PEG-PCL) copolymer. All materials are obtained by Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) technique and characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Macrophage-differentiated THP-1 cells proliferation and metabolic activity were assessed by qualitative and quantitative methods. The secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) cytokine, in the presence and absence of the inflammatory stimuli (bacterial endotoxin; lipopolysaccharide (LPS)), was measured using an ELISA assay. Our results revealed that the cellular response depended on the physical-chemical characteristics of the coatings. Copolymer-HA-Lf coatings led to low level of pro-inflammatory TNF-α, the increased level of anti-inflammatory IL-10, and the polarization of THP-1 cells towards an M2 pro-reparative phenotype in the presence of LPS. These findings could have important potential for the development of composite coatings in implant applications.

Abstract
A highly ordered TiO2 nanotube array has been prepared on a commercial pure titanium substrate in a hydrofluoric (HF) electrolyte using a DC power source through two-step anodic oxidation. The morphology, composition, wettability and surface energy of the nanotube array have been characterized by using a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), a transmission electron microscope (JEM-2010) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer EDX (INCA OXFORD), X-ray diffraction method, an atomic force microscope (AFM), an optical contact angle measuring device and the Owens method with two liquids. The electrochemical behaviours of anodic oxidation films with different structures have been investigated in Sodium Lactate Ringer's Injection at 37±1°C by potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The formation mechanism of the nanotube array and the advantages of two-step oxidation have been discussed according to the experimental observation and the characterized results. Meanwhile, the structural changes of nanotubes are analysed according to the results of impedance spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity testing and cell adhesion and proliferation have been studied in order to evaluate the bioactivity of the nanotube array film. The diameters of nanotubes are in the range of 120-140 nm. The nanotube surface shows better wettability and higher surface energy compared to the bare substrate. The nanotube surface exhibits a wide passivation range and good corrosion resistance. The growth of the nanotube array is the result of the combined action of the anodization and field-assisted dissolution. The nanotube array by two-step oxidation becomes more regular and orderly. Moreover, the nanotube array surface is non-toxic and favourable to cell adhesion and proliferation. Such nanotube array films are expected to have significant biomedical applications.

Regulatory effects of PRF and titanium surfaces on cellular adhesion, spread, and cytokine expressions of gingival keratinocytes. Histochem Cell Biol 2019; 152:63-73. [PMID: 30767049 DOI: 10.1007/s00418-019-01774-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Dental implant material has an impact on adhesion and spreading of oral mucosal cells on its surface. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a second-generation platelet concentrate, can enhance cell proliferation and adhesion. The aim was to examine the regulatory effects of PRF and titanium surfaces on cellular adhesion, spread, and cytokine expressions of gingival keratinocytes. Human gingival keratinocytes were cultured on titanium grade 4, titanium grade 5 (Ti5), and HA discs at 37 °C in a CO2 incubator for 6 h and 24 h, using either elutes of titanium-PRF (T-PRF) or leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), or mammalian cell culture medium as growth media. Cell numbers were determined using a Cell Titer 96 assay. Interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression levels were measured using the Luminex® xMAP™ technique, and cell adhesion and spread by scanning electron microscopy. Epithelial cell adhesion and spread was most prominent to Ti5 surfaces. L-PRF stimulated cell adhesion to HA surface. Both T-PRF and L-PRF activated the expressions of IL-1 β, IL-8, IL-1Ra, MCP-1, and VEGF, T-PRF being the strongest activator. Titanium surface type has a regulatory role in epithelial cell adhesion and spread, while PRF type determines the cytokine response.
