Abstract
Drawing on the structure and components of natural bone, this study developed Mg-doped hydroxyapatite (Mg-HA) bioceramics, characterized by multileveled and oriented micro/nano channels. These channels play a critical role in ensuring both mechanical and biological properties, making bioceramics suitable for various bone defects, particularly those bearing loads. Bioceramics feature uniformly distributed nanogrooves along the microchannels. The compressive strength or fracture toughness of the Mg-HA bioceramics with micro/nano channels formed by single carbon nanotube/carbon fiber (CNT/CF) (Mg-HA(05-CNT/CF)) are comparable to those of cortical bone, attributed to a combination of strengthened compact walls and microchannels, along with a toughening mechanism involving crack pinning and deflection at nanogroove intersections. The introduction of uniform nanogrooves also enhanced the porosity by 35.4 %, while maintaining high permeability owing to the capillary action in the oriented channels. This leads to superior degradation properties, protein adsorption, and in vivo osteogenesis compared with bioceramics with only microchannels. Mg-HA(05-CNT/CF) exhibited not only high strength and toughness comparable to cortical bone, but also permeability similar to cancellous bone, enhanced cell activity, and excellent osteogenic properties. This study presents a novel approach to address the global challenge of applying HA-based bioceramics to load-bearing bone defects, potentially revolutionizing their application in tissue engineering.

Infect Immun 2023; 91:e0015523. [PMID: 37338365 PMCID: PMC10353393 DOI: 10.1128/iai.00155-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrophage (MΦ) infection models are important tools for studying host-mycobacterial interactions. Although the multiplicity of infection (MOI) is an important experimental variable, the selection of MOI in mycobacterial infection experiments is largely empirical, without reference to solid experimental data. To provide relevant data, we used RNA-seq to analyze the gene expression profiles of MΦs 4 or 24 h after infection with Mycobacterium marinum (M. m) at MOIs ranging from 0.1 to 50. Analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed that different MOIs are linked to distinct transcriptomic changes and only 10% of DEGs were shared by MΦ infected at all MOIs. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that type I interferon (IFN)-related pathways were inoculant dose-dependent and enriched only at high MOIs, whereas TNF pathways were inoculant dose-independent and enriched at all MOIs. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network alignment showed that different MOIs had distinct key node genes. By fluorescence-activated cell sorting and follow-up RT-PCR analysis, we could separate infected MΦs from uninfected MΦs and found phagocytosis of mycobacteria to be the determinant factor for type I IFN production. The distinct transcriptional regulation of RAW264.7 MΦ genes at different MOIs was also seen with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infections and primary MΦ infection models. In summary, transcriptional profiling of mycobacterial infected MΦs revealed that different MOIs activate distinct immune pathways and the type I IFN pathway is activated only at high MOIs. This study should provide guidance for selecting the MOI most appropriate for different research questions.

Pan P, Wang X, Chen Y, Chen Q, Yang Y, Wei C, Cheng T, Wan H, Yu D. Effect of Hcp Iron Ion Regulation on the Interaction Between Acinetobacter baumannii With Human Pulmonary Alveolar Epithelial Cells and Biofilm Formation. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 12:761604. [PMID: 35281445 PMCID: PMC8905654 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.761604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is a type of bacterial nosocomial infection with severe drug resistance. Hemolysin co-regulated protein (Hcp) is a marker of activated type VI secretion system (T6SS), a key secretory system that promotes Gram-negative bacteria colonization, adhesion, and invasion of host cells. Hcp is also regulated by iron ions (Fe). In this study, an ATCC17978 hcp deletion strain (ATCC17978Δhcp), an hcp complement strain (ATCC17978Δhcp+), and an A. baumannii–green fluorescent protein (GFP) strain were constructed and used to investigate the role of hcp in bacterial adhesion to cells (human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC)) and biofilm formation. Our results indicate that the inhibitory concentrations of the three A. baumannii strains (ATCC17978 wild type, ATCC17978Δhcp, and ATCC17978Δhcp+) were drug-sensitive strains. A. baumannii hcp gene and iron ions might be involved in promoting the formation of a biofilm and host–bacteria interaction. Iron ions affected the ability of A. baumannii to adhere to cells, as there was no significant difference in the bacterial numbers when assessing the adhesion of the three strains to HPAEpiC in the presence of iron ion concentrations of 0 μM (F = 3.1800, p = 0.1144), 25 μM (F = 2.067, p = 0.2075), 100 μM (F = 30.52, p = 0.0007), and 400 μM (F = 17.57, p = 0.0031). The three strains showed significant differences in their ability to adhere to HPAEpiC. The numbers of bacteria adhesion to HPAEpiC were ATCC17978Δhcp>ATCC17978Δhcp+>ATCC17978 in descending order. Hcp gene was positively regulated by iron ions in the bacteria–cells’ co-culture. It is speculated that the effect of iron ions on the interaction between A. baumannii and HPAEpiC might be related to the transport function of hcp and bacterial immune escape mechanisms.

Abstract
Degradable biomaterials have emerged as a promising type of medical materials because of their unique advantages of biocompatibility, biodegradability and biosafety. Owing to their bioabsorbable and biocompatible properties, magnesium-based biomaterials are considered as ideal degradable medical implants. However, the rapid corrosion of magnesium-based materials not only limits their clinical application but also necessitates a more specific biological evaluation system and biosafety standard. In this study, extracts of pure Mg and its calcium alloy were prepared using different media based on ISO 10993:12; the Mg2+ concentration and osmolality of each extract were measured. The biocompatibility was investigated using the MTT assay and xCELLigence real-time cell analysis (RTCA). Cytotoxicity tests were conducted with L929, MG-63 and human umbilical vein endothelial cell lines. The results of the RTCA highly matched with those of the MTT assay and revealed the different dynamic modes of the cytotoxic process, which are related to the differences in the tested cell lines, Mg-based materials and dilution rates of extracts. This study provides an insight on the biocompatibility of biodegradable materials from the perspective of cytotoxic dynamics and suggests the applicability of RTCA for the cytotoxic evaluation of degradable biomaterials.
