[PMID: 38226017 PMCID: PMC10788622 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Utilizing complementary bioactive peptides is a promising surface engineering strategy for bone regeneration on osteogenesis. In this study, we designed block peptides, (Lysine)6-capped RGD (K6-(linker-RGD)3) and OGP (K6-linker-(YGFGG)2), which were mildly grafted onto PC/Fe-MPNs through supramolecular interactions between K6 and PC residues on the MPNs surface to form a dual peptide coating, named PC/Fe@K6-RGD/OGP. The properties of the block peptides coating, including mechanics, hydrophilicity, chemical composition, etc., were detailly characterized by various techniques (ellipsometry, quartz crystal microbalance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, water contact angle, scanning electronic microscopy and atomic force microscopy). Importantly, the RGD/OGP ratio can be well adjusted, which allowed optimizing the RGD/OGP ratio to endow significantly enhanced osteogenic activity of MC3T3-E1 cells through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, while also promoting cell adhesion, immune regulation, inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and oxidative stress reduction. In vivo, the optimized RGD/OGP coatings promoted bone regeneration and osseointegration around implants in rats with bone defects. In conclusion, rationally designed PC/Fe@K6-RGD/OGP coating integrated RGD and OGP bioactivities, providing a convenient approach to enhance bioinert implant surfaces for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Reconstruction of critical-size bone defects (CSDs) in the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) region remains challenging. Scaffold-based bone-engineered constructs have been proposed as an alternative to the classical treatments made with autografts and allografts. Scaffolds, a key component of engineered constructs, have been traditionally viewed as biologically passive temporary replacements of deficient bone lacking intrinsic cues to promote osteogenesis. Nowadays, scaffolds are functionalized, giving rise to bioactive scaffolds promoting bone regeneration more effectively than conventional counterparts. This review focuses on the three approaches most used to bioactivate scaffolds: (1) conferring microarchitectural designs or surface nanotopography; (2) loading bioactive molecules; and (3) seeding stem cells on scaffolds, providing relevant examples of in vivo (preclinical and clinical) studies where these methods are employed to enhance CSDs healing in the CMF region. From these, adding bioactive molecules (specifically bone morphogenetic proteins or BMPs) to scaffolds has been the most explored to bioactivate scaffolds. Nevertheless, the downsides of grafting BMP-loaded scaffolds in patients have limited its successful translation into clinics. Despite these drawbacks, scaffolds containing safer, cheaper, and more effective bioactive molecules, combined with stem cells and topographical cues, remain a promising alternative for clinical use to treat CSDs in the CMF complex replacing autografts and allografts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate the capacity of the human salivary histatin-1-functionalized methacrylic gelatin scaffold to control osteochondral tissue regeneration and repair in vivo in rabbits with major temporomandibular joint dimensional abnormalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS In order to compare human salivary histatin-1-functionalized methacrylic gelatin scaffolds to the Blank and Gel-MA hydrogel groups, scaffolds were implanted into osteochondral lesions of a critical size (3 × 3 mm) in the anterior region of the condyle of the temporomandibular joint in New Zealand white rabbits. At 4 weeks after implantation, the repair was evaluated using macroscopic examination, histology, and micro-CT analysis. RESULTS In the comparison of the composite scaffold group with the Blank and Gel-MA groups, analysis of the healed tissue revealed an improved macroscopic appearance in the composite scaffold group. Regeneration was induced by host cell migration in the Hst1/Gel-MA scaffold group. CONCLUSIONS The current study offers a viable method for in vivo cartilage repair that does not require cell transplantation. Future clinical applications of this strategy's optimization have many potential advantages.

Abstract
Novel tissue regeneration strategies are constantly being developed worldwide. Research on bone regeneration is noteworthy, as many promising new approaches have been documented with novel strategies currently under investigation. Innovative biomaterials that allow the coordinated and well-controlled repair of bone fractures and bone loss are being designed to reduce the need for autologous or allogeneic bone grafts eventually. The current engineering technologies permit the construction of synthetic, complex, biomimetic biomaterials with properties nearly as good as those of natural bone with good biocompatibility. To ensure that all these requirements meet, bioactive molecules are coupled to structural scaffolding constituents to form a final product with the desired physical, chemical, and biological properties. Bioactive molecules that have been used to promote bone regeneration include protein growth factors, peptides, amino acids, hormones, lipids, and flavonoids. Various strategies have been adapted to investigate the coupling of bioactive molecules with scaffolding materials to sustain activity and allow controlled release. The current manuscript is a thorough survey of the strategies that have been exploited for the delivery of biomolecules for bone regeneration purposes, from choosing the bioactive molecule to selecting the optimal strategy to synthesize the scaffold and assessing the advantages and disadvantages of various delivery strategies.

Abstract
Tumor metastasis is a multiple cascade process where tumor cells disseminate from the primary site to distant organs and subsequently adapt to the foreign microenvironment. Simulating the physiology of tumor metastatic events in a realistic and three-dimensional (3D) manner is a challenge for in vitro modeling. 3D bioprinting strategies, which can generate well-customized and bionic structures, enable the exploration of dynamic tumor metastasis process in a species-homologous, high-throughput and reproducible way. In this review, we summarize the recent application of 3D bioprinting in constructing in vitro tumor metastatic models and discuss its advantages and current limitations. Further perspectives on how to harness the potential of accessible 3D bioprinting strategies to better model tumor metastasis and guide anti-cancer therapies are also provided.

Abstract
Over the last decade, efforts have been oriented toward the development of suitable gels for 3D printing, with controlled morphology and shear-thinning behavior in well-defined conditions. As a multidisciplinary approach to the fabrication of complex biomaterials, 3D bioprinting combines cells and biocompatible materials, which are subsequently printed in specific shapes to generate 3D structures for regenerative medicine or tissue engineering. A major interest is devoted to the printing of biomimetic materials with structural fidelity after their fabrication. Among some requirements imposed for bioinks, such as biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and the possibility to be sterilized, the nondamaging processability represents a critical issue for the stability and functioning of the 3D constructs. The major challenges in the field of printable gels are to mimic at different length scales the structures existing in nature and to reproduce the functions of the biological systems. Thus, a careful investigation of the rheological characteristics allows a fine-tuning of the material properties that are manufactured for targeted applications. The fluid-like or solid-like behavior of materials in conditions similar to those encountered in additive manufacturing can be monitored through the viscoelastic parameters determined in different shear conditions. The network strength, shear-thinning, yield point, and thixotropy govern bioprintability. An assessment of these rheological features provides significant insights for the design and characterization of printable gels. This review focuses on the rheological properties of printable bioinspired gels as a survey of cutting-edge research toward developing printed materials for additive manufacturing.

Abstract
Human cells, especially stem cells, need to communicate and interact with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, which not only serve as structural components but also guide and support cell fate and properties such as cell adhesion, proliferation, survival and differentiation. The binding of the cells with ECM proteins or ECM-derived peptides via cell adhesion receptors such as integrins activates several signaling pathways that determine the cell fate, morphological change, proliferation and differentiation. The development of synthetic ECM protein-derived peptides that mimic the biological and biochemical functions of natural ECM proteins will benefit academic and clinical application. Peptides derived from or inspired by specific ECM proteins can act as agonists of each ECM protein receptor. Given that most ECM proteins function in cell adhesion via integrin receptors, many peptides have been developed that bind to specific integrin receptors. In this review, we discuss the peptide sequence, immobilization design, reaction method, and functions of several ECM protein-derived peptides. Various peptide sequences derived from mainly ECM proteins, which are used for coating or grafting on dishes, scaffolds, hydrogels, implants or nanofibers, have been developed to improve the adhesion, proliferation or differentiation of stem cells and to culture differentiated cells. This review article will help to inform the optimal choice of ECM protein-derived peptides for the development of scaffolds, implants, hydrogels, nanofibers and 2D cell culture dishes to regulate the proliferation and direct the differentiation of stem cells into specific lineages.

Abstract
After several billions of years, nature still makes decisions on its own to identify, develop, and direct the most effective material for phenomena/challenges faced. Likewise, and inspired by the nature, we learned how to take steps in developing new technologies and materials innovations. Wet and strong adhesion by Mytilidae mussels (among which Mytilus edulis—blue mussel and Mytilus californianus—California mussel are the most well‐known species) has been an inspiration in developing advanced adhesives for the moist condition. The wet adhesion phenomenon is significant in designing tissue adhesives and surgical sealants. However, a deep understanding of engaged chemical moieties, microenvironmental conditions of secreted proteins, and other contributing mechanisms for outstanding wet adhesion mussels are essential for the optimal design of wet glues. In this review, all aspects of wet adhesion of Mytilidae mussels, as well as different strategies needed for designing and fabricating wet adhesives are discussed from a chemistry point of view. Developed muscle‐inspired chemistry is a versatile technique when designing not only wet adhesive, but also, in several more applications, especially in the bioengineering area. The applications of muscle‐inspired biomaterials in various medical applications are summarized for future developments in the field.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a significant constituent of bones or teeth and is widely used as an artificial bone graft. It is often used to replace the lost bones or in reconstructing alveolar bones before dental implantation. HA with biological functions finds its importance in orthopedic surgery and dentistry to increase the local concentration of calcium ions, which activate the growth and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). To make relevant use of HA in bone transplantation, the surfaces of orthopedic and dental implants are frequently coated with nanosized hydroxyapatite (nHA), but its low dispersibility and tendency to form aggregates, the purpose of the surface modification of bone implants is defeated. To overcome these drawbacks and to improve the histocompatibility of bone implants or to use nHA in therapeutic applications of implants in the treatment of bone diseases, various studies suggested the attachment of biomolecules (growth factors) or drugs through chemical bonding at the surface of nHA. The growth factors or drugs bonded physically at the surface of nHA are mostly unstable and burst released immediately. Therefore, reported studies suggested that the surface of nHA needs to be modified through the chemical bonding of biologically active molecules at the surface of bone implants such as proteins, peptides, or naturally occurring polysaccharides to prevent the aggregation of nHA and to get homogenous dispersion of nHA in solution. The role of irradiation in producing bioactive and antibacterial nHA through morphological variations in surfaces of nHA is also summarized by considering internal structures and the formation of reactive oxygen species on irradiation. This mini-review aims to highlight the importance of small molecules such as proteins, peptides, drugs, and photocatalysts in surface property modification of nHA to achieve stable, bioactive, and antibacterial nHA to act as artificial bone implants (scaffolds) in combination with biodegradable polymers.

Abstract
Artificial tissue substitutes are of great interest for the reconstruction of destroyed and non-functional skin or bone tissue due to its scarcity. Biomaterials used as scaffolds for tissue regeneration are non-vascularized synthetic tissues and often based on polymers, which need ingrowth of new blood vessels to ensure nutrition and metabolism. This review summarizes previous approaches and highlights advances in vascularization strategies after implantation of surface-modified biomaterials for skin and bone tissue regeneration. The efficient integration of biomaterial, bioactive coating with endogenous degradable matrix proteins, physiochemical modifications, or surface geometry changes represents promising approaches. The results show that the induction of angiogenesis in the implant site as well as the vascularization of biomaterials can be influenced by specific surface modifications. The neovascularization of a biomaterial can be supported by the application of pro-angiogenic substances as well as by biomimetic surface coatings and physical or chemical surface activations. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the geometric properties of the three-dimensional biomaterial matrix play a central role, as they guide or even enable the ingrowth of blood vessels into a biomaterial.

Abstract
Vitronectin is an abundant multifunctional glycoprotein found in serum, the extracellular matrix, and bone, and is involved in diverse physiological processes. Here, we developed a new bioactive dimeric peptide (VnP-8-DN1 dimer) from a human vitronectin-derived motif (IDAAFTRINCQG; residues 206-217; VnP-8) via removal of an isoleucine residue at the N-terminus of VnP-8 and spontaneous air oxidation. The VnP-8-DN1 dimer potently enhanced cell attachment activity, and this activity was mediated by binding to cellular heparan sulfate proteoglycan receptors. Moreover, the VnP-8-DN1 dimer suppressed osteoclast differentiation by blocking the early stage of osteoclastogenesis induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). Furthermore, the VnP-8-DN1 dimer decreased the bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts and increased the survival of osteoclast precursor cells by decreasing the cellular level of c-Fms and reducing RANK expression. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the VnP-8-DN1 dimer inhibits the early stages of M-CSF- and RANK-induced osteoclast differentiation by binding to c-Fms and inhibiting M-CSF signaling.

Abstract
In the growing field of tissue engineering, providing cells in biomaterials with the adequate biological cues represents an increasingly important challenge. Yet, biomaterials with excellent mechanical properties often are often biologically inert to many cell types. To address this issue, researchers resort to functionalization, i.e. the surface modification of a biomaterial with active molecules or substances. Functionalization notably aims to replicate the native cellular microenvironment provided by the extracellular matrix, and in particular by collagen, its major component. As our understanding of biological processes regulating cell behaviour increases, functionalization with biomolecules binding cell surface receptors constitutes a promising strategy. Amongst these, triple-helical peptides (THPs) that reproduce the architectural and biological properties of collagen are especially attractive. Indeed, THPs containing binding sites from the native collagen sequence have successfully been used to guide cell response by establishing cell-biomaterial interactions. Notably, the GFOGER motif recognising the collagen-binding integrins is extensively employed as a cell adhesive peptide. In biomaterials, THPs efficiently improved cell adhesion, differentiation and function on biomaterials designed for tissue repair (especially for bone, cartilage, tendon and heart), vascular graft fabrication, wound dressing, drug delivery or immunomodulation. This review describes the key characteristics of THPs, their effect on cells when combined to biomaterials and their strong potential as biomimetic tools for regenerative medicine. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review article describes how triple-helical peptides constitute efficient tools to improve cell-biomaterial interactions in tissue engineering. Triple helical peptides are bioactive molecules that mimic the architectural and biological properties of collagen. They have been successfully used to specifically recognize cell-surface receptors and provide cells seeded on biomaterials with controlled biological cues. Functionalization with triple-helical peptides has enabled researchers to improve cell function for regenerative medicine applications, such as tissue repair. However, despite encouraging results, this approach remains limited and under-exploited, and most functionalization strategies reported in the literature rely on biomolecules that are unable to address collagen-binding receptors. This review will assist researchers in selecting the correct tools to functionalize biomaterials in efforts to guide cellular response.

Abstract
The application of scaffolding materials is believed to hold enormous potential for tissue regeneration. Despite the widespread application and rapid advance of several tissue-engineered scaffolds such as natural and synthetic polymer-based scaffolds, they have limited repair capacity due to the difficulties in overcoming the immunogenicity, simulating in-vivo microenvironment, and performing mechanical or biochemical properties similar to native organs/tissues. Fortunately, the emergence of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) scaffolds provides an attractive way to overcome these hurdles, which mimic an optimal non-immune environment with native three-dimensional structures and various bioactive components. The consequent cell-seeded construct based on dECM scaffolds, especially stem cell-recellularized construct, is considered an ideal choice for regenerating functional organs/tissues. Herein, we review recent developments in dECM scaffolds and put forward perspectives accordingly, with particular focus on the concept and fabrication of decellularized scaffolds, as well as the application of decellularized scaffolds and their combinations with stem cells (recellularized scaffolds) in tissue engineering, including skin, bone, nerve, heart, along with lung, liver and kidney.

Abstract
Assessing the toxicity of new biomaterials dedicated to bone regeneration can be difficult. Many reports focus only on a single toxicity parameter, which may be insufficient for a detailed evaluation of the new material. Moreover, published data frequently do not include control cells exposed to the environment without composite or its extract. Here we present the results of two assays used in the toxicological assessment of materials’ extracts (the integrity of the cellular membrane and the mitochondrial activity/proliferation), and the influence of different types of controls used on the obtained results. Results obtained in the cellular membrane integrity assay showed a lack of toxic effects of all tested extracts, and no statistical differences between them were present. Control cells, cells incubated with chitosan extract or chitosan-bioglass extract were used as a reference in proliferation calculations to highlight the impact of controls used on the result of the experiment. The use of different baseline controls caused variability between obtained proliferation results, and influenced the outcome of statistical analysis. Our findings confirm the thesis that the type of control used in an experiment can change the final results, and it may affect the toxicological assessment of biomaterial.

Abstract
Human lungs are organs with an intricate hierarchical structure and complex composition; lungs also present heterogeneous mechanical properties that impose dynamic stress on different tissue components during the process of breathing. These physiological characteristics combined create a system that is challenging to model in vitro. Many efforts have been dedicated to develop reliable models that afford a better understanding of the structure of the lung and to study cell dynamics, disease evolution, and drug pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in the lung. This review presents methodologies used to develop lung tissue models, highlighting their advantages and current limitations, focusing on 3D bioprinting as a promising set of technologies that can address current challenges. 3D bioprinting can be used to create 3D structures that are key to bridging the gap between current cell culture methods and living tissues. Thus, 3D bioprinting can produce lung tissue biomimetics that can be used to develop in vitro models and could eventually produce functional tissue for transplantation. Yet, printing functional synthetic tissues that recreate lung structure and function is still beyond the current capabilities of 3D bioprinting technology. Here, the current state of 3D bioprinting is described with a focus on key strategies that can be used to exploit the potential that this technology has to offer. Despite today's limitations, results show that 3D bioprinting has unexplored potential that may be accessible by optimizing bioink composition and looking at the printing process through a holistic and creative lens.

Abstract
Worldwide, over 20 million patients suffer from bone disorders annually. Bone scaffolds are designed to integrate into host tissue without causing adverse reactions. Recently, chitosan, an easily available natural polymer, has been considered a suitable scaffold for bone tissue growth as it is a biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic material with antimicrobial activity and osteoinductive capacity. In this work, chitosan was covalently and selectively biofunctionalized with two suitably designed bioactive synthetic peptides: a Vitronectin sequence (HVP) and a BMP-2 peptide (GBMP1a). Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) investigations highlighted the presence of the peptides grafted to chitosan (named Chit-HVP and Chit-GBMP1a). Chit-HVP and Chit-GBMP1a porous scaffolds promoted human osteoblasts adhesion, proliferation, calcium deposition, and gene expression of three crucial osteoblast proteins. In particular, Chit-HVP highly promoted adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts, while Chit-GBMP1a guided cell differentiation towards osteoblastic phenotype.

Regenerative benefits of using growth factors in treatment of periodontal defects: A systematic review and meta-analysis with Trial Sequential Analysis on preclinical studies.

Abstract
The ultimate goal in periodontal treatments is to achieve a functional and anatomical regeneration of the lost tissues. Numerous studies have in some way illustrated the beneficial effects of biologic modifiers in this process, yet they are subject to a rather large degree of diversity in their results. Thanks to the promising outcomes of bioengineering techniques in the field of periodontal regeneration, this systematic review aims to evaluate the effect of various biologic modifiers used in periodontal defects of animal models. Electronic databases (Medline, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) were searched (March 2010-December 2020) for every study that used biomolecules for regeneration of periodontal osseous defects in animal models. Regenerated bone height or area, new cementum, new connective tissues, new regenerated periodontal ligament and the dimensions of epithelial attachment (either in mm/mm2 or percentage) were the investigated outcomes. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed using the SYRCLE tool. In closing, there was a meta-analysis carried out on the outcomes of interest. Trial Sequential Analysis was also carried out to figure out the power of meta-analytic outcomes. From 1995 studies which were found in the initial search, 34 studies were included in this review, and 20 of them were selected for the meta-analysis. The eligible studies were categorized according to the morphology of the experimental periodontal defects as one-, two-, and three-wall intrabony defects; furcation defects, and recession-type defects. The most studied biomolecules were rhFGF-2, rhGDF-5, platelet-derived growth factor, bone morphogenetic protein-2, and enamel matrix derivative (EMD). Based on the meta-analysis findings, combined application of biomolecules with regenerative treatments could improve new bone and cementum formation near 1 mm when compared to the control groups in one, two and three-wall intrabony defect models (p < 0.001). In furcation grade II defect, the addition of biomolecules was observed to enhance bone area gain and cementum height regeneration up to almost 2 mm (p < 0.001). Trial Sequential Analysis results confirmed the significant effect in the aforementioned meta-analyses. In cases of the buccal recession model, the application of rhFGF-2 and rhGDF-5 decreased the dimension of epithelial attachments besides regenerative advantages on bone and cementum formation, but EMD deposition exerted no inhibitory effect on epithelial down-growth. Application of biologic modifiers especially FGF-2 and GDF-5, could positively improve the regeneration of periodontal tissues, particularly cementum and bone in animal models. Trial Sequential Analysis confirmed the results but the power of the evidences was high just in some subgroup meta-analyses, like bone and cementum regeneration in furcation grade II model and cementum regeneration in one-wall intrabony defects. The outcomes of this study can potentially endow clinicians with guidelines for the appropriate application of growth factors in periodontal regenerative therapies.

Abstract
The tissue engineering technology provides a new way to solve bone defect. Porous scaffolds supply support and adhesion space for cells. Design of pore structure of scaffolds is one of the key points in tissue engineering scaffolds, because the structure affects the performance of scaffolds directly. In this paper, mechanical properties of square porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds are studied. By finite element simulation, it can be found that the support structure in vertical direction assumes main force, so the structure can be optimized through relative density mapping (RDM) method. The modified arch structures can improve bearing effect of structure with the same porosity. The designed structures are obtained by selective laser melting. Results of compressive strength indicate that the compressive strength decreases with the increase of porosity. When the porosity is between 40% and 60%, the error of compressive strength calculated by Gibson-Ashby model is below 8%. Moreover, the optimized structure clears a better bearing effect, and the bearing capacity can be increased by 20%-30% under the same porosity.

Abstract
Functionalization of dental and orthopedic implants with multiple bioactivities is desirable to obtain surfaces with improved biological performance and reduced infection rates. While many approaches have been explored to date, nearly all functionalized surfaces are static, i.e., non-responsive to biological cues. However, tissue remodeling necessary for implant integration features an ever-changing milieu of cells that demands a responsive biomaterial surface for temporal synchronization of interactions between biomaterial and tissue. Here, we successfully synthesized a multi-functional, dynamic coating on titanium by co-immobilizing GL13K antimicrobial peptide and an MMP-9 - a matrix metalloproteinase secreted by bone-remodeling osteoclasts - responsive peptide. Our co-immobilized peptide surface showed potent anti-biofilm activity, enabled effective osteoblast and fibroblast proliferation, and demonstrated stability against a mechanical challenge. Finally, we showed peptide release was triggered for up to seven days when the multi-peptide coatings were cultured with MMP-9-secreting osteoclasts. Our MMP-9 cleavable peptide can be conjugated with osteogenic or immunomodulatory motifs for enhanced bone formation in future work. Overall, we envisage our multifunctional, dynamic surface to reduce infection rates of percutaneous bone-anchored devices via strong anti-microbial activity and enhanced tissue regeneration via temporal synchronization between biomaterial cues and tissue responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The conditioned medium of calcined tooth powder (CTP-CM) is a type of biomimetic mineralized material and well contributing to bone healing and bone formation in vivo. However, little is known about the effect of CTP-CM on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) as well as the underlying mechanisms. METHODS ALP activity assay was conducted to select the concentration with the highest ALP level, which was used for the following experiments. Cell proliferation was measured by cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis. Expression levels of osteogenic markers in CTP-CM-induced hPDLSCs were evaluated with real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot. Mineralization of CTP-CM-induced hPDLSCs was evaluated by alizarin red staining. Furthermore, the involvement of NF-κB pathway was examined by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. RESULTS 20 μg/ml was selected for the further experiments. Functional studies demonstrated that CTP-CM exerted almost no influence on the proliferation of hPDLSCs and CTP-CM increased the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Mechanistically, CTP-CM leads to activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. When treated with BMS345541, the osteogenic differentiation of CTP-CM-treated hPDLSCs was significantly attenuated. CONCLUSION CTP-CM can promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs via activating NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
The inclusion of biofunctional molecules with synthetic bone graft substitutes has the potential to enhance tissue regeneration during treatment of traumatic bone injuries. The clinical use of growth factors has though been associated with complications, some serious. The use of smaller, active peptides has the potential to overcome these problems and provide a cost-effective, safe route for the manufacture of enhanced bone graft substitutes. This review considers the design of peptide-enhanced bone graft substitutes, and how peptide selection and attachment method determine clinical efficacy. It was determined that covalent attachment may reduce the known risks associated with growth factor-loaded bone graft substitutes, providing a predictable tissue response and greater clinical efficacy. Peptide choice was found to be critical, but even within recognised families of biologically active peptides, the configurations that appeared to most closely mimic the biological molecules involved in natural bone healing processes were most potent. It was concluded that rational, evidence-based design of peptide-enhanced bone graft substitutes offers a pathway to clinical maturity in this highly promising field.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although more than 18,000,000 fractures occur each year in the US, methods to promote fracture healing still rely primarily on fracture stabilization, with use of bone anabolic agents to accelerate fracture repair limited to rare occasions when the agent can be applied to the fracture surface. Because management of broken bones could be improved if bone anabolic agents could be continuously applied to a fracture over the entire course of the healing process, we undertook to identify strategies that would allow selective concentration of bone anabolic agents on a fracture surface following systemic administration. Moreover, because hydroxyapatite is uniquely exposed on a broken bone, we searched for molecules that would bind with high affinity and specificity for hydroxyapatite. We envisioned that by conjugating such osteotropic ligands to a bone anabolic agent, we could acquire the ability to continuously stimulate fracture healing. RESULTS Although bisphosphonates and tetracyclines were capable of localizing small amounts of peptidic payloads to fracture surfaces 2-fold over healthy bone, their specificities and capacities for drug delivery were significantly inferior to subsequent other ligands, and were therefore considered no further. In contrast, short oligopeptides of acidic amino acids were found to localize a peptide payload to a bone fracture 91.9 times more than the control untargeted peptide payload. Furthermore acidic oligopeptides were observed to be capable of targeting all classes of peptides, including hydrophobic, neutral, cationic, anionic, short oligopeptides, and long polypeptides. We further found that highly specific bone fracture targeting of multiple peptidic cargoes can be achieved by subcutaneous injection of the construct. CONCLUSIONS Using similar constructs, we anticipate that healing of bone fractures in humans that have relied on immobilization alone can be greately enhanced by continuous stimulation of bone growth using systemic administration of fracture-targeted bone anabolic agents.

Abstract
AbstractAlginate is a polysaccharide of natural origin, which shows outstanding properties of biocompatibility, gel forming ability, non-toxicity, biodegradability and easy to process. Due to these excellent properties of alginate, sodium alginate, a hydrogel form of alginate, oxidized alginate and other alginate based materials are used in various biomedical fields, especially in drug delivery, wound healing and tissue engineering. Alginate can be easily processed as the 3D scaffolding materials which includes hydrogels, microcapsules, microspheres, foams, sponges, and fibers and these alginate based bio-polymeric materials have particularly used in tissue healing, healing of bone injuries, scars, wound, cartilage repair and treatment, new bone regeneration, scaffolds for the cell growth. Alginate can be easily modified and blended by adopting some physical and chemical processes and the new alginate derivative materials obtained have new different structures, functions, and properties having improved mechanical strength, cell affinity and property of gelation. This can be attained due to combination with other different biomaterials, chemical and physical crosslinking, and immobilization of definite ligands (sugar and peptide molecules). Hence alginate, its modified forms, derivative and composite materials are found to be more attractive towards tissue engineering. This article provides a comprehensive outline of properties, structural aspects, and application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Structural bone allograft transplantation remains one of the common strategies for repair and reconstruction of large bone defects. Due to the loss of periosteum that covers the outer surface of the cortical bone, the healing and incorporation of allografts is extremely slow and limited. To enhance the biological performance of allografts, herein, we report a novel and simple approach for engineering a periosteum mimetic coating on the surface of structural bone allografts via polymer-mediated electrospray deposition. This approach enables the coating on allografts with precisely controlled composition and thickness. In addition, the periosteum mimetic coating can be tailored to achieve desired drug release profiles by making use of an appropriate biodegradable polymer or polymer blend. The efficacy study in a murine segmental femoral bone defect model demonstrates that the allograft coating composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 mimicking peptide significantly improves allograft healing as evidenced by decreased fibrotic tissue formation, increased periosteal bone formation, and enhanced osseointegration. Taken together, this study provides a platform technology for engineering a periosteum mimetic coating which can greatly promote bone allograft healing. This technology could eventually result in an off-the-shelf and multifunctional structural bone allograft for highly effective repair and reconstruction of large segmental bone defects. The technology can also be used to ameliorate the performance of other medical implants by modifying their surfaces.

Abstract
Three-dimensional bioprinting uses additive manufacturing techniques for the automated fabrication of hierarchically organized living constructs. The building blocks are often hydrogel-based bioinks, which need to be printed into structures with high shape fidelity to the intended computer-aided design. For optimal cell performance, relatively soft and printable inks are preferred, although these undergo significant deformation during the printing process, which may impair shape fidelity. While the concept of good or poor printability seems rather intuitive, its quantitative definition lacks consensus and depends on multiple rheological and chemical parameters of the ink. This review discusses qualitative and quantitative methodologies to evaluate printability of bioinks for extrusion- and lithography-based bioprinting. The physicochemical parameters influencing shape fidelity are discussed, together with their importance in establishing new models, predictive tools and printing methods that are deemed instrumental for the design of next-generation bioinks, and for reproducible comparison of their structural performance.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multi-functional growth factors belonging to the Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) superfamily. These proteins are essential to many developmental processes, including cardiogenesis, neurogenesis, and osteogenesis. Specifically, within the BMP family, Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) was the first BMP to be characterized and has been well-studied. BMP-2 has important roles during embryonic development, as well as bone remodeling and homeostasis in adulthood. Some of its specific functions include digit formation and activating osteogenic genes, such as Runt-Related Transcription Factor 2 (RUNX2). Because of its diverse functions and osteogenic potential, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved usage of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) during spinal fusion surgery, tibial shaft repair, and maxillary sinus reconstructive surgery. However, shortly after initial injections of rhBMP-2, several adverse complications were reported, and alternative therapeutics have been developed to limit these side-effects. As the clinical application of BMP-2 is largely implicated in bone, we focus primarily on its role in bone. However, we also describe briefly the role of BMP-2 in development. We then focus on the structure of BMP-2, its activation and regulation signaling pathways, BMP-2 clinical applications, and limitations of using BMP-2 as a therapeutic. Further, this review explores other potential treatments that may be useful in treating bone disorders.

Abstract
The interactions at the graft-tissue interfaces are critical for the results of engraftments post-implantation. To improve the success rate of the implantations, as well as the quality of the patients' life, understanding the possible reactions between artificial materials and the host tissues is helpful in designing new generations of material-based grafts aiming at inducing specific responses from surrounding tissues for their own reparation and regeneration. To help researchers understand the complicated interactions that occur after implantations and to promote the development of better-designed grafts with improved biocompatibility and patient responses, in this review, the topics will be discussed from the basic reactions that occur chronologically at the graft-tissue interfaces after implantations to the existing and potential applications of the mechanisms of such reactions in designing of grafts. It offers a chance to bring up-to-date advances in the field and new strategies of controlling the graft-tissue interfaces.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, various kinds of materials are used for the treatment of bone defects. In general, these materials have a problem of formativeness. The three -dimensional (3D) printing technique has been introduced to fabricate artificial bone with arbitrary shapes, but poor bone replacement is still problematic.Our group has created a β⁻tricalcium phosphate (β⁻TCP) scaffold by applying 3D printing technology. This scaffold has an arbitrary shape and an internal structure suitable for cell loading, growth, and colonization. The scaffold was coated with a recombinant collagen peptide (RCP) to promote bone replacement.As indicated by several studies, cells loaded to scaffolds promote bone regeneration, especially when they are induced osteoblastic differentiation before transplantation. In this study, culture duration for bone marrow cells was optimized before being loaded to this new scaffold material. METHOD Bone marrow cells isolated from C57BL/6J mice were subjected to osteogenic culture for 4, 7, and 14 days. The differentiation status of the cells was examined by alkaline phosphatase staining, alizarin red staining, and real-time RT-PCR for differentiation markers. In addition, the flow of changes in the abundance of endothelial cells and monocytes was analyzed by flow cytometry according to the culture period of bone marrow cells.Next, cells at days 4, 7, and 14 of culture were placed on a β-TCP/RCP scaffold and implanted subcutaneously into the back of C57BL/6J mice. Grafts were harvested and evaluated histologically 8 weeks later. Finally, Cells cultured for 7 days were also transplanted subperiosteally in the skull of the mouse with scaffolds. RESULT Alkaline phosphatase staining was most prominent at 7 days, and alizarin red staining was positive at 14 days. Real-time RT-PCR revealed that Runx2 and Alp peaked at 7 days, while expression of Col1a1 and Bglap was highest at 14 days. Flow cytometry indicated that endothelial cells increased from day 0 to day 7, while monocytes increased continuously from day 0 to day 14. When transplanted into mice, the scaffold with cells cultured for 7 days exhibited the most prominent osteogenesis. The scaffold, which was transplanted subperiosteally in the skull, retained its shape and was replaced with regenerated bone over a large area of the field of view. CONCLUSION Osteoblasts before full maturation are most efficient for bone regeneration, and the pre-culture period suitable for cells to be loaded onto a β-TCP/RCP hybrid scaffold is approximately 7 days.This β-TCP/RCP hybrid scaffolds will also be useful for bone augmentation.

[PMID: 32283864 PMCID: PMC7177725 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21072627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The microenvironment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is responsible for the modulation in MSC commitment. Nanocomposites with an inorganic and an organic component have been investigated, and osteogenesis of MSCs has been attributed to inorganic phases such as calcium phosphate under several conditions. Here, electrospun meshes and two-dimensional films of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) or nanocomposites of PLGA and amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles (PLGA/aCaP) seeded with human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) were analyzed for the expression of selected marker genes. In a two-week in vitro experiment, osteogenic commitment was not found to be favored on PLGA/aCaP compared to pure PLGA. Analysis of the medium revealed a significant reduction of the Ca2+ concentration when incubated with PLGA/aCaP, caused by chemical precipitation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) on aCaP seeds of PLGA/aCaP. Upon offering a constant Ca2+ concentration, however, the previously observed anti-osteogenic effect was reversed: alkaline phosphatase, an early osteogenic marker gene, was upregulated on PLGA/aCaP compared to pristine PLGA. Hence, in addition to the cell–material interaction, the material–medium interaction was also important for the stem cell commitment here, affecting the cell–medium interaction. Complex in vitro models should therefore consider all factors, as coupled impacts might emerge.

Abstract
Polymer scaffolds constitute a very interesting strategy for tissue engineering. Even though they are generally non-toxic, in some cases, they may not provide suitable support for cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, which decelerates tissue regeneration. To improve biological properties, scaffolds are frequently enriched with bioactive molecules, inter alia extracellular matrix proteins, adhesive peptides, growth factors, hormones, and cytokines. Although there are many papers describing synthesis and properties of polymer scaffolds enriched with proteins or peptides, few reviews comprehensively summarize these bioactive molecules. Thus, this review presents the current knowledge about the most important proteins and peptides used for modification of polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering. This paper also describes the influence of addition of proteins and peptides on physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of polymer scaffolds. Moreover, this article sums up the major applications of some biodegradable natural and synthetic polymer scaffolds modified with proteins and peptides, which have been developed within the past five years.

An in vitro assessment and comparative effectiveness of silanized-glutaraldehyde functionalized titanium surfaces with phosphatidylcholine and type I collagen grafts. Dent Mater 2019; 36:320-328.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate sequence-modified Ti surfaces functionalized with silanized glutaraldehyde and further grafted with the active biomolecules of phosphatidylcholine and type I collagen (COL I). METHODS The properties of the functional surfaces were investigated by various surface analysis techniques and characterized their capability in osteogenic cell attachment, differentiation, and mineralization in vitro. RESULTS The Ti surfaces grafted with phosphatidylcholine and COL I effectively improved the hydrophilicity. In addition, an effect of COL I concentrations (higher than 2.5μg/mL) do not stimulate subsequent alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity during osteogenesis in vitro. However, the result is different in phosphatidylcholine, that is, as the concentration of phosphatidylcholine increased enhances subsequent osteogenetic properties. The Ti groups with bioactive molecules affected cell characteristics in vitro in contrast to the controlled Ti group. The proliferation and differentiation levels of osteoprogenetor cells were enhanced and ALP was strongly expressed in the groups grafted with phosphatidylcholine and COL I. SIGNIFICANCE This modification promotes progenitor bone cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation and thus drastically improves the success rate for implant modification by accelerating surface osseointegration.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that surface biofunctional modification may be an effective approach to improve biocompatibility and confer new bioactive properties on biomaterials. In this work, mussel adhesive protein (MAP) was applied as a coating on 316 L stainless steel substrates (316 L SS) and stents, and then either immobilized VEGF or CD34 antibody were added to create biofunctional films. The properties of the MAP coating were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and a water contact angle test. Universal tensile testing showed that the MAP coating has adequate adhesion strength on a 316 L stainless steel material surface. Subsequent cytotoxicity and hemolysis rate tests showed that the MAP coatings have good biocompatibility. Moreover, using N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysulfosussinimide (EDC/NHS) chemistry, VEGF and CD34 antibody were immobilized on the MAP coatings. The amount and immobilized yield of VEGF on the MAP coatings were analyzed by enzyme-linked immuno-assays (ELISA). Finally, an endothelial cells culture showed that the VEGF biofunctional film can promote the viability and proliferation of endothelial cells. An in vitro CD34+ cells capturing test also verified the bioactive properties of the CD34 antibody coated stents. These results showed that the MAP coatings allowed effective biomolecule immobilization, providing a promising platform for vascular device modification.

Abstract
Synthetically derived peptide-based biomaterials are in many instances capable of mimicking the structure and function of their full-length endogenous counterparts. Combine this with the fact that short mimetic peptides are easier to produce when compared to full length proteins, show enhanced processability and ease of modification, and have the ability to be prepared under well-defined and controlled conditions; it becomes obvious why there has been a recent push to develop regenerative biomaterials from these molecules. There is increasing evidence that the incorporation of peptides within regenerative scaffolds can result in the generation of structural recognition motifs that can enhance cell attachment or induce cell signaling pathways, improving cell infiltration or promote a variety of other modulatory biochemical responses. By highlighting the current approaches in the design and application of short mimetic peptides, we hope to demonstrate their potential in soft-tissue healing while at the same time drawing attention to the advances made to date and the problems which need to be overcome to advance these materials to the clinic for applications in heart, skin, and cornea repair.

Abstract
Synergizing integrin and cell-membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan signaling on biomaterials through peptidic sequences is known to have beneficial effects in the attachment and behavior of osteoblasts; however, controlling the exact amount and ratio of peptides tethered on a surface is challenging. Here, we present a dual molecular-based biointerface combining integrin (RGD) and heparin (KRSR)-binding peptides in a chemically controlled fashion. To this end, a tailor-made synthetic platform (PLATF) was designed and synthesized by solid-phase methodologies. The PLATF and the control linear peptides (RGD or KRSR) were covalently bound to titanium via silanization. Physicochemical characterization by means of contact angle, Raman spectroscopy and XPS proved the successful and stable grafting of the molecules. The biological potential of the biointerfaces was measured with osteoblastic (Saos-2) cells both at short and long incubation periods. Biomolecule grafting (either the PLATF, RGD or KRSR) statistically improved (p < 0.05) cell attachment, spreading, proliferation and mineralization, compared to control titanium. Moreover, the molecular PLATF biointerface synergistically enhanced mineralization (p < 0.05) of Saos-2 cells compared to RGD or KRSR alone. These results indicate that dual-function coatings may serve to improve the bioactivity of medical implants by mimicking synergistic receptor binding.

Abstract
Optimization of nanofiber (NF) surface properties is critical to achieve an adequate cellular response. Here, the impact of conjugation of biomimetic aspartic acid (ASP) and glutamic acid (GLU) templated peptides with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) electrospun NF on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) was evaluated. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) was used to functionalize the NF surface and thus to mediate the conjugation. The influence of the CAP treatment following with peptide conjugation to the NF surface was assessed using water contact angle measurements, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The effect of CAP treatment on morphology of NF was also checked using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Both the hydrophilicity of NF and the number of the carboxyl (-COOH) groups on the surface increased with respect to CAP treatment. Results demonstrated that CAP treatment significantly enhanced peptide conjugation on the surface of NF. Osteogenic differentiation results indicated that conjugating of biomimetic ASP templated peptides sharply increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium content, and expression of key osteogenic markers of collagen type I (Col-I), osteocalcin (OC), and osteopontin (OP) compared to GLU conjugated (GLU-pNF) and CAP treated NF (pNF). It was further depicted that ASP sequences are the major fragments that influence the mineralization and osteogenic differentiation in non-collagenous proteins of bone extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Advances in nanotechnology and nanomaterials have enabled the development of functional biomaterials with surface properties that reduce the rate of the device rejection in injectable and implantable biomaterials. In addition, the surface of biomaterials can be functionalized with macromolecules for stimuli-responsive purposes to improve the efficacy and effectiveness in drug release applications. Furthermore, macromolecule-grafted surfaces exhibit a hierarchical nanostructure that mimics nanotextured surfaces for the promotion of cellular responses in tissue engineering. Owing to these unique properties, this review focuses on the grafting of macromolecules on the surfaces of various biomaterials (e.g., films, fibers, hydrogels, and etc.) to create nanostructure-enabled and macromolecule-grafted surfaces for biomedical applications, such as thrombosis prevention and wound healing. The macromolecule-modified surfaces can be treated as a functional device that either passively inhibits adverse effects from injectable and implantable devices or actively delivers biological agents that are locally based on proper stimulation. In this review, several methods are discussed to enable the surface of biomaterials to be used for further grafting of macromolecules. In addition, we review surface-modified films (coatings) and fibers with respect to several biomedical applications. Our review provides a scientific update on the current achievements and future trends of nanostructure-enabled and macromolecule-grafted surfaces in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Articular cartilage is a structure lack of vascular distribution. Once the cartilage is injured or diseased, it is unable to regenerate by itself. Surgical treatments do not effectively heal defects in articular cartilage. Tissue engineering is the most potential solution to this problem. In this study, methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (mPEG-PCL) and hydroxyapatite at a weight ratio of 2:1 were mixed via fused deposition modeling (FDM) layer by layer to form a solid scaffold. The scaffolds were further infiltrated with glycidyl methacrylate hyaluronic acid loading with 10 ng/mL of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and photo cross-linked on top of the scaffolds. An in vivo test was performed on the knees of Lanyu miniature pigs for a period of 12 months. The healing process of the osteochondral defects was followed by computer tomography (CT). The defect was fully covered with regenerated tissues in the control pig, while different tissues were grown in the defect of knee of the experimental pig. In the gross anatomy of the cross section, the scaffold remained in the subchondral location, while surface cartilage was regenerated. The cross section of the knees of both the control and experimental pigs were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining. The cartilage of the knee in the experimental pig was partially matured, e.g., few chondrocyte cells were enclosed in the lacunae. In the knee of the control pig, the defect was fully grown with fibrocartilage. In another in vivo experiment in a rabbit and a pig, the composite of the TGF-β1-loaded hydrogel and scaffolds was found to regenerate hyaline cartilage. However, scaffolds that remain in the subchondral lesion potentially delay the healing process. Therefore, the structural design of the scaffold should be reconsidered to match the regeneration process of both cartilage and subchondral bone.
