Abstract
Cyclic strain generated at the cell-material interface is critical for the engraftment of biomaterials. Mechanosensitive immune cells, macrophages regulate the host-material interaction immediately after implantation by priming the environment and remodeling ongoing regenerative processes. This study investigated the ability of mechanically active scaffolds to modulate macrophage function in vitro and in vivo. Remotely actuated magnetic scaffolds enhance the phenotype of murine classically activated (M1) macrophages, as shown by the increased expression of the M1 cell-surface marker CD86 and increased secretion of multiple M1 cytokines. When scaffolds were implanted subcutaneously into mice and treated with magnetic stimulation for 3 days beginning at either day 0 or day 5 post-implantation, the cellular infiltrate was enriched for host macrophages. Macrophage expression of the M1 marker CD86 was increased, with downstream effects on vascularization and the foreign body response. Such effects were not observed when the magnetic treatment was applied at later time points after implantation (days 12-15). These results advance our understanding of how remotely controlled mechanical cues, namely, cyclic strain, impact macrophage function and demonstrate the feasibility of using mechanically active nanomaterials to modulate the host response in vivo.

Polarized M2 macrophages induced by mechanical stretching modulate bone regeneration of the craniofacial suture for midfacial hypoplasia treatment. Cell Tissue Res 2021; 386:585-603. [PMID: 34568957 DOI: 10.1007/s00441-021-03533-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
The underlying mechanism of the trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis (TSDO) technique as an effective treatment that improves the symptoms of midfacial hypoplasia syndromes is not clearly understood. Increasing findings in the orthopedics field indicate that macrophages are mechanically sensitive and their phenotypes can respond to mechanical cues. However, how macrophages respond to mechanical stretching and consequently influence osteoblast differentiation of suture-derived stem cells (SuSCs) remains unclear, particularly during the TSDO process. In the present study, we established a TSDO rat model to determine whether and how macrophages were polarized in response to stretching and consequently affected bone regeneration of the suture frontal edge. Notably, after performing immunofluorescence, RNA-sequencing, and micro-computed tomography, it was demonstrated that macrophages are first recruited by various chemokines factors and polarized to the M2 phenotype upon optimal stretching. The latter in turn regulates SuSC activity and facilitates bone regeneration in sutures. Moreover, when the activated M2 macrophages were suppressed by pharmacological manipulation, new bone microarchitecture could rarely be detected under mechanical stretching and the expansion of the sutures was clear. Additionally, macrophages achieved M2 polarization in response to the optimal mechanical stretching (10%, 0.5 Hz) and strongly facilitated SuSC osteogenic differentiation and human umbilical vein endothelial cell angiogenesis using an indirect co-culture system in vitro. Collectively, this study revealed the mechanical stimulation-immune response-bone regeneration axis and clarified at least in part how sutures achieve bone regeneration in response to mechanical force.

Abstract
In recent years, biomaterial- and scaffold-based immunomodulation strategies were implemented in tissue regeneration efforts for manipulating macrophage polarization (a.k.a. phenotype or lineage commitment, or differentiation). Yet, most of our understanding of macrophage phenotype commitment and phagocytic capacity is limited to how physical cues (extracellular matrix stiffness, roughness, and topography) and soluble chemical cues (cytokines and chemokines released from the scaffold) influence macrophage polarization. In the context of immune response-tissue interaction, the mechanical cues experienced by the residing cells within the tissue also play a critical role in macrophage polarization and inflammatory response. However, there is no compiled study discussing the effect of the dynamic mechanical environment around the tissues on macrophage polarization and the innate immune response. The aim of this comprehensive review paper is 2-fold; (a) to highlight the importance of mechanical cues on macrophage lineage commitment and function and (b) to summarize the important studies dedicated to understand how macrophage polarization changes with different mechanical loading modalities. For the first time, this review paper compiles and compartmentalizes the studies investigating the role of dynamic mechanical loading with various modalities, amplitude, and frequency on macrophage differentiation. A deeper understanding of macrophage phenotype in mechanically dominant tissues (i.e. musculoskeletal tissues, lung tissues, and cardiovascular tissues) provides mechanistic insights into the design of mechano-immunomodulatory tissue scaffold for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
At its essence, biomechanical injury to soft tissues or tissue products means damage to collagen fibrils. To restore function, damaged collagen must be identified, then repaired or replaced. It is unclear at present what the kernel features of fibrillar damage are, how phagocytic or synthetic cells identify that damage, and how they respond. We recently identified a nanostructural motif characteristic of overloaded collagen fibrils that we have termed discrete plasticity. In this study, we have demonstrated that U937 macrophage-like cells respond specifically to overload-damaged collagen fibrils. Tendons from steer tails were bisected, one half undergoing 15 cycles of subrupture mechanical overload and the other serving as an unloaded control. Both halves were decellularized, producing sterile collagen scaffolds that contained either undamaged collagen fibrils, or fibrils with discrete plasticity damage. Matched-pairs were cultured with U937 cells differentiated to a macrophage-like form directly on the substrate. Morphological responses of the U937 cells to the two substrates-and evidence of collagenolysis by the cells-were assessed using scanning electron microscopy. Enzyme release into medium was quantified for prototypic matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) collagenase, and MMP-9 gelatinase. When adherent to damaged collagen fibrils, the cells clustered less, showed ruffled membranes, and frequently spread: increasing their contact area with the damaged substrate. There was clear structural evidence of pericellular enzymolysis of damaged collagen-but not of control collagen. Cells on damaged collagen also released significantly less MMP-9. These results show that U937 macrophage-like cells recognize strain-induced discrete plasticity damage in collagen fibrils: an ability that may be important to their removal or repair.

Abstract
While macrophages have been implicated in the failure of bioprosthetic heart valves, the macrophage response to crosslinked native pericardial collagen has not been previously investigated. Using decellularized bovine pericardium (DBP) as a model for native collagen, this study investigated the response of macrophage-like cells (U937s) to DBP, either: (i) untreated, or (ii) exogenously crosslinked with glutaraldehyde or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC). We have previously validated the use of U937 cells as models for the response of human monocyte-derived macrophages to decellularized pericardial materials and, per our previous work, differentiated the U937 cells directly on the three material surfaces. After 72h in culture, the cells and medium were analyzed for DNA content, acid phosphatase activity, and cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase release. As well, cell/substrate samples were fixed for SEM. Fewer cells attached to or survived on the glutaraldehyde-treated substrate, and some showed an abnormal morphology compared to cells cultured on the other surfaces. Further, cells on glutaraldehyde-treated surfaces released more pro-inflammatory cytokines, more MMP-1 and less MMP-2 and MMP-9. The poor performance of the U937 macrophage-like cells on the glutaraldehyde-treated surfaces appears to be due to surface characteristics rather than to soluble aldehyde or other components leaching from the crosslinked material. These results provide evidence that crosslinking with glutaraldehyde is cytotoxic to macrophage-like cells, and that crosslinking with a zero-length crosslinker like EDC can be an acceptable alternative crosslinking treatment for biomaterials.

Abstract
The monocyte-derived macrophage (MDM), present at biomaterial implantations, can increase, decrease or redirect the inflammatory and subsequent wound healing process associated with the presence of a biomaterial. Understanding MDM responses to biomaterials is important for improved prediction and design of biomaterials for tissue engineering. This study analyzed the direct differentiation of monocytes on intact, native collagen. Human monocytes were differentiated on decellularized bovine pericardium (DBP), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or polystyrene (TCPS) for 14 d. MDMs on all surfaces released high amounts of MMP-9 compared to MMP-2 and relatively little MMP-1. MDMs differentiated on DBP released more MMP-2, but less acid phosphatase activity. MDMs on all three surfaces released low amounts of cytokines, although substrate differences were found: MDMs on DBP released higher amounts of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 but lower amounts of IL-10 and IL-1ra. This research provides evidence that MDMs on decellularized matrices may not be stimulated towards an activated, inflammatory phenotype, supporting the potential of decellularized matrices for tissue engineering. This study also demonstrated that the differentiation surface affects MDM phenotype and therefore study design of macrophage interactions with biomaterials should scrutinize the specific macrophage culture method utilized and its effects on macrophage phenotype.

Abstract
In tissue engineering, innate responses to biomaterial scaffolds will affect rejection of allogeneic cells. Biomaterials directly influence innate and adaptive immune cell adhesion, reactive oxygen intermediate production, cytokine secretion, nuclear factor-kappa B nuclear translocation, gene expression, and cell surface markers, all of which are likely to affect allogeneic rejection responses. A major goal in tissue engineering is to induce transplant tolerance, potentially by manipulating the biomaterial component. This review describes methods of measuring responses of macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells stimulated in vitro and in vivo and addresses key factors in assay development. Such tests include mixed leukocyte reactions, enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assays, trans-vivo delayed-type hypersensitivity assays, and measurement of dendritic cell subsets and anti-donor antibodies; we propose extending these studies to tissue engineering.

Abstract
It was previously found that re-seeding monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) on polycarbonate-based polyurethanes (PCNUs) in the presence of the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) inhibited MDM-mediated degradation of PCNUs synthesized with 1,6-hexane diisocyanate (HDI), as well as esterase activity and monocyte-specific esterase (MSE) protein. However, no effect on the degradation of a 4,4'-methylene bisphenyl (MDI)-derived PCNU (MDI321) occurred. This finding suggested that oxidation, a process linked to the PKC pathway, was not activated in the same manner for all PCNUs. In the current study MDM were re-seeded onto the above PCNU surfaces with PMA, PKC-inactive 4alphaPMA and the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide I hydrochloride (BIM) for 48 h before assaying for PCNU degradation, esterase activity, MSE protein, DNA, cell viability and cell morphology. 4alphaPMA did not alter MDM-mediated HDI PCNU degradation but MDI321 degradation increased in this condition. BIM alone had no effect on any parameter; however, when BIM and PMA were added together, the PMA inhibition of biodegradation, esterase activity and MSE protein was partially reversed for MDM on HDI PCNUs only. Adding PMA to MDM on HDI PCNUs increased intercellular connections, whereas 4alphaPMA or BIM+PMA increased cell size. Although this study demonstrated a role for oxidation via a PKC-activated pathway in MDM-mediated PCNU degradation, phorbol esters appear to also activate non-PKC pathways that have roles in biodegradation. Moreover, the sensitivity to material surface chemistry in the MDM response to each PCNU dictates a multi-factorial degradative process involving alternate material specific oxidative and hydrolytic mechanisms.

Abstract
In vitro cell culture has become one of the most widely used techniques in biological and health sciences research, with the most common culture supports being either tissue culture grade polystyrene (TCPS) or polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). It has previously been shown that monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) respond to material surface chemistry, synthesizing and releasing degradative activities that could produce products, which alter the cell's response. In this study, functional parameters of differentiated U937 macrophage-like cells were compared when cultured on nondegradable standard control surfaces versus models of biomaterials (polycarbonate-based polyurethanes) used in the manufacture of medical devices previously shown to degrade and/or elicit pathways of inflammation. Although the influence of PDMS and TCPS on cell function is often underappreciated by investigators, both surfaces elicited enzyme markers of inflammation. Cells on TCPS had the highest intracellular and released esterase activities and protein levels. Cells on PDMS had the most released acid phosphatase activity and protein (P<0.001), as well as de novo 57− and 59− kDa released proteins. The criteria for defining an activated cell phenotype become critically important when materials such as PDMS and TCPS are used as standard control surfaces whether in experiments for research in elucidating metabolic pathways or in screening drugs and materials for therapeutic uses.
