Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials are increasingly significant in the biological and medical fields, especially becoming promising candidates in treating difficult and complicated disease. Graphene/single-walled carbon nanotubes (G/SWCNT) hybrids is 3D structure which has been constructed by combining 1D single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and 2D graphene. However, the effects of the nanomaterial on biological systems are limited. In this study, we report a systematic investigation of the cytotoxicity and in vivo biodistribution of G/SWCNT hybrids on osteosarcoma cells (HOS and U2OS). The CCK-8, neutral red, and lactic dehydrogenase assays demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of G/SWCNT hybrids exhibits a dose-dependent behavior on osteosarcoma cells. In our conditions, the hybrids were less cytotoxic than graphene and single-walled carbon nanotubes. The results also showed the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells induced by G/SWCNT hybrids was through the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species, the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential, the alternation of apoptosis-related proteins, and then triggered the ROS-mediated mitochondrial pathway. Moreover, the in vivo biodistribution of G/SWCNT hybrids was observed by histological analysis of major organs in mice, and showed that organs were neither damaged nor inflammatory. This study demonstrated that G/SWCNT hybrids could serve as a potential platform in anticancer therapy. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 105A: 443-453, 2017.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To deliver cells deep into injectable calcium phosphate cement (CPC) through alginate-chitosan (AC) microcapsules and investigate the biological behavior of the cells released from microcapsules into the CPC. METHODS Mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were embedded in alginate and AC microcapsules using an electrostatic droplet generator. The two types of cell-encapsulating microcapsules were then mixed with a CPC paste. MC3T3-E1 cell viability was investigated using a Wst-8 kit, and osteogenic differentiation was demonstrated by an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay. Cell attachment in CPC was observed by an environment scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS Both alginate and AC microcapsules were able to release the encapsulated MC3T3-E1 cells when mixed with CPC paste. The released cells attached to the setting CPC scaffolds, survived, differentiated, and formed mineralized nodules. Cells grew in the pores concomitantly created by the AC microcapsules in situ within the CPC. At Day 21, cellular ALP activity in the AC group was approximately four times that at Day 7 and exceeded that of the alginate microcapsule group (P<0.05). Pores formed by the AC microcapsules had a diameter of several hundred microns and were spherical compared with those formed by alginate microcapsules. CONCLUSIONS AC microcapsule is a promising carrier to release seeding cells deep into an injectable CPC scaffold for bone engineering.

Abstract
Two-color spatio-temporal image cross-correlation spectroscopy (STICCS) is a new, to our knowledge, image analysis method that calculates space-time autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions from fluorescence intensity fluctuations. STICCS generates cellular flow and diffusion maps that reveal interactions and cotransport of two distinct molecular species labeled with different fluorophores. Here we use computer simulations to map the capabilities and limitations of STICCS for measurements in complex heterogeneous environments containing micro- and macrostructures. We then use STICCS to analyze the co-flux of adhesion components in migrating cells imaged using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. The data reveal a robust, time-dependent co-fluxing of certain integrins and paxillin in adhesions in protrusions when they pause, and in adhesions that are sliding and disassembling, demonstrating that the molecules in these adhesions move as a complex. In these regions, both α6β1- or αLβ2-integrins, expressed in CHO.B2 cells, co-flux with paxillin; an analogous cotransport was seen for α6β1-integrin and α-actinin in U2OS. This contrasts with the behavior of the α5β1-integrin and paxillin, which do not co-flux. Our results clearly show that integrins can move in complexes with adhesion proteins in protrusions that are retracting.

Abstract
Adhesive and migratory behavior can be cell type, integrin, and substrate dependent. We have compared integrin and substrate differences using three integrin receptors: α5β1, α6β1, and αLβ2 expressed in a common cell type, CHO.B2 cells, which lack integrin α subunits, as well as in different cell types that express one or more of these integrins. We find that CHO.B2 cells expressing either α6β1 or αLβ2 integrins migrate and protrude faster and are more directionally persistent on laminin or ICAM-1, respectively, than CHO.B2 cells expressing α5β1 on fibronectin. Despite rapid adhesion maturation and the presence of large adhesions in both the α6β1- and αLβ2-expressing cells, they display robust tyrosine phosphorylation. In addition, whereas myosin II regulates adhesion maturation and turnover, protrusion rates, and polarity in cells migrating on fibronectin, surprisingly, it does not have comparable effects in cells expressing α6β1 or αLβ2. This apparent difference in the integration of myosin II activity, adhesion, and migration arises from alterations in the ligand-integrin-actin linkage (molecular clutch). The elongated adhesions in the protrusions of the α6β1-expressing cells on laminin or the αLβ2-expressing cells on ICAM-1 display a novel, rapid retrograde flux of integrin; this was largely absent in the large adhesions in protrusions of α5β1-expressing cells on fibronectin. Furthermore, the force these adhesions exert on the substrate in protrusive regions is reduced compared to similar regions in α5-expressing cells, and the adhesion strength is reduced. This suggests that intracellular forces are not efficiently transferred from actomyosin to the substratum due to altered adhesion strength, that is, avidity, affinity, or the ligand-integrin-actin interaction. Finally, we show that the migration of fast migrating leukocytes on fibronectin or ICAM-1 is also largely independent of myosin II; however, their adhesions are small and do not show retrograde fluxing suggesting other intrinsic factors determine their migration differences.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used as a bone substitute in dental, maxillofacial and orthopaedic surgery and as osteoconductive bone substitute or precoating of pedicle screws and cages in spine surgery. The aim of the present study was to investigate the osteoblastic adhesion strength on HA substrata with different surface topography and biochemistry (pre-adsorption of fibronectin) after blocking of specific integrin subunits with monoclonal antibodies. Stoichiometric HA was prepared by precipitation followed by ageing and characterized by SEM, EDX, powder XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TGA, and specific surface area analysis. Human bone marrow derived osteoblasts were cultured on HA disc-shaped substrata which were sintered and polished resulting in two surface roughness grades. For attachment evaluation, cells were incubated with monoclonal antibodies and seeded for 2 h on the substrata. Cell detachment strength was determined using a rotating disc device. Cell detachment strength was surface roughness, fibronectin preadsorption and intergin subunit sensitive.

Abstract
The influence of fibronectin (Fn) coated surfaces patterned with poly(ethylene glycol) microgels having inter-gel spacings between 0.5 and 3.0 μm on the adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus strains with and without Fn-binding proteins and cellular adhesion/spreading was investigated. Quantitative force measurements between a S. aureus cell and a patterned surface showed that the adhesion force between the bacterium and the patterned surface increased substantially after Fn adsorption, regardless of the strain used, but decreased with decreasing inter-gel spacing. In flow-chamber experiments, the Fn-binding strain adhered at a higher rate after Fn adsorption than the strain lacking Fn-binding proteins. In both cases, the adhesion rates decreased with decreasing inter-gel spacing. Osteoblast-like cells could bind to patterned surfaces despite the microgels, and adsorbed Fn substantially amplified this effect. Even under highly non-adhesive conditions associated with closely spaced microgels, adsorbed Fn preserves a window of inter-gel spacing around 1 μm where the adhesion of staphylococcal cells is hindered while cells can still adhere and spread.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of standardized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) concentrates from 10 human donors on cellular behavior. The standardized PRPs used were fivefold average and fivefold maximum baseline values in whole blood. Both these standardized PRPs were characterized by determining platelet numbers and subsequently growth factor concentrations in activated PRPs, called PRP derivatives. Platelet numbers in both types of standardized PRPs were significantly increased compared with whole blood. Further, both PRP derivatives contained significantly higher concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor-AA, platelet-derived growth factor-AB, and transforming growth factor-beta 1. Vascular endothelial growth factor concentrations were significantly elevated in only the most concentrated PRP derivative. Cell culture experiments with osteoblast-like cells showed that both PRP derivatives stimulated cell proliferation without inducing cell differentiation, whereas tube formation in endothelial cell cultures was significantly increased by adding low volume percentages of PRP derivative (2%–8%). Consequently, it can be concluded that there is no direct relationship between the number of platelets and the level of growth factors released from these platelets. PRP derivatives have the potency to stimulate angiogenesis dose dependently, while lacking the capacity to induce osteogenic differentiation. Yet, the proliferation of osteoblast-like cells can significantly be enhanced by supplementation of PRP derivatives.

Abstract
Surface modification of titanium implants to improve their fixation in bone tissue is of great interest. We present a novel approach to enhance implant performance by applying important principles of bone mineralization to biomedical coatings. As an attempt to mimic the biphasic biomineralization process, both the enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and calcium phosphate (CaP) were immobilized onto Ti discs, thereby triggering enzymatically and physicochemically controlled biomineralization pathways. ALP, CaP and ALP-CaP composite coatings with preserved functionality of ALP were successfully deposited using electrospray deposition. In vitro soaking studies in cell culture medium revealed that crystal growth initially proceeded at a faster rate on CaP-coated Ti than on ALP-containing coatings, but mineral deposition onto ALP-coated Ti caught up with the calcification behaviour of CaP coatings upon long-term soaking. Cell culture experiments with osteoblast-like cells, however, demonstrated the opposite effect in mineral deposition on the electrosprayed CaP and ALP coatings. The ALP-CaP composite coatings showed delayed proliferation as well as accelerated mineralization in comparison to cells cultured on the CaP-coated and uncoated Ti. In conclusion, these in vitro results showed that the osteogenic potential of Ti can be stimulated by ALP-containing coatings.

Abstract
Prenatal exposure to diazepam, a prototype sedative drug that belongs to Benzodiazepines, can lead to orofacial clefting in human newborns. By using real-time PCR, in the present study we investigated whether diazepam elicits gene expression alterations in extracellular matrix (ECM) components, growth factors and gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABRB3), implicated in the coordinate regulation of palate development. Palate fibroblasts were treated with diazepam (Dz-N fibroblasts) and compared to cleft lip-palate (CLP) fibroblasts obtained from patients with no known exposure to diazepam or other teratogens. Untreated fibroblasts from non-CLP patients were used as control. The results showed significant convergences in gene expression pattern of collagens, fibromodulin, vitronectin, tenascin C, integrins and metalloprotease MMP13 between Dz-N and CLP fibroblasts. Among the growth factors, constitutive Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) was greatly enhanced in Dz-N and CLP fibroblasts and associated with a higher reduction of FGF receptor. Transforming Growth Factor beta 3 (TGFbeta(3)) resulted up-regulated in CLP fibroblasts and decreased in Dz-N fibroblasts. We found phenotypic differences exhibited by Dz-N and CLP fibroblasts in GABRB3 gene regulation, so further studies are necessary to determine whether GABAergic system could be involved in the development of diazepam mediated CLP phenotype. Taken together the results elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying possible toxicology effects induced by diazepam. Counselling of women on the safety of diazepam exposure is clinically important, also for the forensic consequences.

Abstract
This study was designed to examine the influence of integrin subunit-beta1 and subunit-beta3 on the behavior of primary osteoblast-like cells, cultured on calcium phosphate (CaP)-coated and non coated titanium (Ti). Osteoblast-like cells were incubated with specific monoclonal antibodies against integrin-beta1 and integrin-beta3 to block the integrin function. Subsequently, cells were seeded on Ti discs, either non coated or provided with a 2 microm carbonated hydroxyapatite coating using Electrostatic Spray Deposition. Results showed that on CaP coatings, cellular attachment was decreased after a pre-treatment with either anti-integrin-beta1 or anti-integrin-beta3 antibodies. On Ti, cell adhesion was only slightly affected after a pre-treatment with anti-integrin-beta3 antibodies. Scanning electron microscopy showed that on both types of substrate, cellular morphology was not changed after a pre-treatment with either antibody. With quantitative PCR, it was shown for both substrates that mRNA expression of integrin-beta1 was increased after a pre-treatment with either anti-integrin-beta1 or anti-integrin-beta3 antibodies. Furthermore, after a pre-treatment with either antibody, mRNA expression of integrin-beta3 and ALP was decreased, on both types of substrate. In conclusion, osteoblast-like cells have the ability to compensate to great extent for the blocking strategy as applied here. Still, integrin-beta1 and beta3 seem to play different roles in attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblast-like cells, and responses on CaP-coated substrates differ to non coated Ti. Furthermore, the influence on ALP expression suggests involvement of both integrin subunits in signal transduction for cellular differentiation.

Abstract
The focus of the present study was to functionalize multilayered DNA-coatings with the osteoinductive factor bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) using different loading modalities. The multilayered DNA-coatings were built up from either poly-d-lysine (PDL) or poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and DNA using electrostatic self-assembly (ESA). The amounts of BMP-2 loaded into the multilayered DNA-coatings and its subsequent release characteristics were determined using radiolabeled BMP-2. Additionally, the effect of BMP-2 functionalized multilayered DNA-coatings on the in vitro behavior of bone marrow-derived osteoblast-like cells was evaluated in terms of proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, and cell morphology. The results demonstrate the feasibility of multilayered DNA-coatings to be functionalized by embedding BMP-2 according to three different loading modalities: superficial (s), deep (d), and double-layer (dl). BMP-2 was incorporated proportionally into the multilayered DNA-coatings as: s+(4*d)=dl. All differently loaded multilayered DNA-coatings showed an initial burst release followed by an incremental sustained release of the remaining BMP-2. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the loaded factor remained biologically active, as an accelerated calcium deposition was observed on s- and dl-loaded multilayered DNA-coatings, without affecting cell proliferation. In contrast, d-loaded multilayered DNA-coatings influenced osteoblast-like cell behavior by decreasing the deposition of calcium.

Abstract
Poor fixation of bone replacement implants, e.g. the artificial hip, in implantation sites with inferior bone quality and quantity may be overcome by the use of implants coated with a cultured living bone equivalent. In this study, we tested, respectively, amorphous carbonated apatite (CA)- and crystalline octacalcium phosphate (OCP)-coated discs for their use in bone tissue engineering. Subcultured rat bone marrow cells were seeded on the substrates and after 7 days of culture, the implants were subcutaneously implanted in nude mice for 4 weeks. After 7 days of culture, the cells had formed a continuous multi-layer that covered the entire surface of the substrates. The amount of cells was visually higher on the crystalline OCP-coated discs compared to the amorphous CA-coated discs. Furthermore, the amorphous CA-coated discs exhibited a visually higher amount of mineralized extracellular matrix compared to the crystalline OCP-coated discs. After 4 weeks of implantation, clear de novo bone formation was observed on all discs with cultured cells. The newly formed bone on the crystalline OCP-coated discs was more organized and revealed a significantly higher volume compared to the amorphous CA-coated discs. The percentage of bone contact with the discs was also significantly higher on the OCP-coated discs. Overall, the results suggest that a crystalline OCP coating is more suitable for bone tissue engineering than an amorphous CA coating.

Abstract
The use of calcium ion (Ca) implantation of titanium (Ti), previously reported to encourage osseointegration in vivo, has been investigated using an in vitro model in order to understand the basic mechanisms involved in the response of target cells to such surfaces. Polished Ti discs were implanted with high, medium and low (1x10(17), 1x10(16), 1x10(15)ionscm-2) doses of Ca ions at 40 keV. The effects of different levels of Ca implantation on morphology, attachment and spreading of MG-63 cells seeded on the surface of control (non-implanted) Ti and Ca-Ti discs were assessed. Further, to understand cell-material interactions at a molecular level, the expression of beta1 and alpha5beta1 integrins and the formation of vinculin-positive focal adhesion plaques were examined. In addition, the effects of pre-immersion of the Ca (high)-Ti in tissue culture medium on cell attachment were measured and correlated with specific chemical changes at the Ti surface. Our findings suggest that Ca implantation can affect the adhesion of MG-63 cells both qualitatively and quantitatively. However, this effect appears to depend on the level at which Ca ions are implanted. Results showed that although cell adhesion on Ca (high)-Ti was initially reduced, it nevertheless was not only restored but substantially increased with progressing culture times. In addition, a significantly enhanced cell spreading, formation of focal adhesion plaques and expression of integrins were measured on this particular surface. In contrast, no marked differences were observed in cell behaviour on Ca-Ti (low and medium). Pre-immersion studies indicated that the decrease in cell attachment to Ca (high)-Ti at early time periods may be linked to the presence of Ca- and P-rich particles on the surface. The absence of these particles at 24 h was consistent with a significant increase in cell attachment.

Abstract
The adhesion of osteoblasts to substrates is mediated through proteins that have adsorbed to the substrate, providing integrins on the cell membrane with ligands to connect to. The integrins regulate cell behavior through bi-directional signaling pathways. This critical review has the purpose to consider the research that has been performed with osteoblasts, integrins, and bone replacing materials. Until now, most research has been done to investigate the integrin expression of osteoblasts in culture during cellular adhesion. However, it remains difficult to draw general conclusions from this research. Nevertheless, it can be concluded that the used substrates and protein or peptide coatings can influence the integrin expression and cellular behavior. Additional research has to be done to fully understand all the parameters involved in integrin expression, the adhesion of cells to substrates, and the subsequent cellular behavior. For this purpose, model substrates are under development. The signaling pathway is receiving more and more attention, but for biomaterial purposes, too little consideration is paid to the translation of the in vitro results to the in vivo situation, and to practical applications.

Abstract
Electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) is a recently developed technique to deposit a calcium phosphate (CaP) coating upon substrates. With this technique, an organic solvent containing calcium and phosphate is pumped through a nozzle. Between the nozzle and substrate a high voltage is applied. As a consequence, droplets coming out the nozzle disperse into a spray, and this spray is deposited upon the substrate. When the solvent has evaporated, a coating is formed on the substrate. ESD allows for a variation in coating composition and morphology. Titanium alloy (TiAl6V4) substrates were coated with a CaP layer using two different methods; radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and ESD. These surfaces were characterized with X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, an universal surface tester, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometry. Subsequently, bone marrow cells were isolated from rat femora and cultured 1, 4, 8, 14 and 16 days. Cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteocalcin concentration were assayed. RT-PCR was done for collagen type I and osteocalcin. SEM was also performed to observe cellular behaviour during culture. Two separate runs of the experiment were performed. In the first run, osteoblast-like cells on both CaP coatings showed similar results in all assays. In the second run, proliferation and osteogenic expression had increased on ESD coatings. On basis of these results, we conclude that the novel ESD coating behaved similar to, or even better than the known RF magnetron sputter coating. Thus, ESD could be a valid addition to already existing CaP coating processes.

Abstract
From previous studies, we know that calcium phosphate (CaP) coated implants stimulate bone formation compared to uncoated implants. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which substrate surface characteristics affect cell function is unclear. In this study, we examined the initial interaction (30 min to 24 h) of U2OS cells with titanium substrates with or without a CaP coating. The effect of substrate roughness was also studied. When cell attachment was studied, we found that cells attached more readily to rough than to smooth surfaces. Also, more cells attached to the uncoated than to the CaP coated surface. After 24 h, cell numbers were similar for all substrate surfaces. Further, cells spread to a larger area on noncoated titanium than on the CaP coated substrates. At 24 h, the sequence of cell size was smooth titanium > rough titanium > CaP coated titanium. Shape measurements showed differences in cell shape between the cells on the different materials only at 7 h, not at different culture times. Cells expressed alpha2, alpha3, alpha5, alpha6, alphav, and beta1 subunits. Expression of alpha1, alpha4, alphavbeta3, beta3, beta4, and beta7 was extremely low or was not found. The beta1 integrin expression was higher on the coated than on the noncoated titanium at 3 h, but not on the other studied times. Expression of alpha2, alpha5, alpha6, and alphav expression was found to be upregulated at 24 h compared to earlier culture times on coated titanium, but not on uncoated titanium substrates. From this we conclude that the surface characteristics of a material (roughness and composition) can affect the initial interaction of cells with the material.

Abstract
Primary cultures of osteogenic precursor cells derived from rat bone marrow stroma were performed on commercially available pure titanium discs (Ti c.p.) and surface modified Ti c.p.using a sol-gel technique (Ti sol). In separate repeated experimental runs, cell behavior and in vitro mineralization were compared with cultures on silica gel bioactive glass discs (S53P4). All substrates were incubated in simulated body fluid prior to the experiment. Overall, variable effects between experimental runs were seen. Apparently, this was due to the heterogeneous nature of the used cell population. Therefore, only careful conclusions can be made. Initial cell adhesion and growth rates between 3 and 5 days of culture--analyzed by cell numbers--were in general comparable for the two titanium substrates, while initial growth up to day 3 is suggested to be higher in Ti c.p. compared to Ti sol. Although initial cell adhesion on the S53P4 glass discs was lower than the titanium substrates, cell growth rates appeared to be higher on the silica gel compared to the two titanium substrates. Further, there were some indications that the early and late osteoblast differentiation markers, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin, monitored up to day 24, were elevated in Ti c.p cultures compared to Ti sol cultures. There were no differences observed in in vitro mineralization between the titanium groups. S53P4 seemed to display a substantially higher differentiating capacity for both osteogenic cell markers as well as in vitro mineralization compared to the two titanium substrates.
