[PMID: 38494389 PMCID: PMC11123543 DOI: 10.1016/j.identj.2024.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
The decellularised extracellular matrix (dECM) of in vitro cell culture is a naturally derived biomaterial formed by the removal of cellular components. The compositions of molecules in the extracellular matrix (ECM) differ depending on various factors, including the culture conditions. Cell-derived ECM provides a 3-dimensional structure that has a complex influence on cell signalling, which in turn affects cell survival and differentiation. This review describes the effects of dECM derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on cell responses, including cell migration, cell proliferation, and cell differentiation in vitro. Published articles were searched in the PubMed databases in 2005 to 2022, with assigned keywords (MSCs and decellularisation and cell culture). The 41 articles were reviewed, with the following criteria. (1) ECM was produced exclusively from MSCs; (2) decellularisation processes were performed; and (3) the dECM production was discussed in terms of culture systems and specific supplementations that are suitable for creating the dECM biomaterials. The dECM derived from MSCs supports cell adhesion, enhances cell proliferation, and promotes cell differentiation. Importantly, dECM derived from dental MSCs shows promise in regenerative dentistry applications. Therefore, the literature strongly supports cell-based dECMs as a promising option for innovative tissue engineering approaches for regenerative medicine.

Boscaro D, Sikorski P. Spheroids as a 3D in vitro model to study bone and bone mineralization. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 157:213727. [PMID: 38101067 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Traumas, fractures, and diseases can severely influence bone tissue. Insight into bone mineralization is essential for the development of therapies and new strategies to enhance bone regeneration. 3D cell culture systems, in particular cellular spheroids, have gained a lot of interest as they can recapitulate crucial aspects of the in vivo tissue microenvironment, such as the extensive cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions found in tissue. The potential of combining spheroids and various classes of biomaterials opens also new opportunities for research within bone tissue engineering. Characterizing cellular organization, ECM structure, and ECM mineralization is a fundamental step for understanding the biological processes involved in bone tissue formation in a spheroid-based model system. Still, many experimental techniques used in this field of research are optimized for use with monolayer cell cultures. There is thus a need to develop new and improving existing experimental techniques, for applications in 3D cell culture systems. In this review, bone composition and spheroids properties are described. This is followed by an insight into the techniques that are currently used in bone spheroids research and how these can be used to study bone mineralization. We discuss the application of staining techniques used with optical and confocal fluorescence microscopy, molecular biology techniques, second harmonic imaging microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and microscopy, as well as electron microscopy-based techniques, to evaluate osteogenic differentiation, collagen production and mineral deposition. Challenges in the applications of these methods in bone regeneration and bone tissue engineering are described. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 3D cell cultures have gained a lot of interest in the last decades as a possible technique that can be used to recreate in vitro in vivo biological process. The importance of 3D environment during bone mineralization led scientists to use this cell culture to study this biological process, to obtain a better understanding of the events involved. New and improved techniques are also required for a proper analysis of this cell model and the process under investigation. This review summarizes the state of the art of the techniques used to study bone mineralization and how 3D cell cultures, in particular spheroids, are tested and analysed to obtain better resolved results related to this complex biological process.

J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 81:127337. [PMID: 38000168 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2023.127337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The growing use of zirconia as a ceramic material in dentistry is attributed to its biocompatibility, mechanical properties, esthetic appearance, and reduced bacterial adhesion. These favorable properties make ceramic materials a viable alternative to commonly used titanium alloys. Mimicking the physiological properties of blood flow, particularly the mechanosignaling in endothelial cells (ECs), is crucial for enhancing our understanding of their role in the response to zirconia exposure. METHODS In this study, EC cultures were subjected to shear stress while being exposed to zirconia for up to 3 days. The conditioned medium obtained from these cultures was then used to expose osteoblasts for a duration of 7 days. To investigate the effects of zirconia on osteoblasts, we examined the expression of genes associated with osteoblast differentiation, including Runx2, Osterix, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin genes. Additionally, we assessed the impact of mechanosignaling-related angiocrine factors on extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling by measuring the activities of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMP2 and MMP9) during the acquisition of the osteogenic phenotype, which precedes mineralization. RESULTS Our data revealed that mechanosignaling-related angiocrine factors play a crucial role in promoting an osteoblastic phenotype in response to zirconia exposure. Specifically, exposed osteoblasts exhibited significantly higher expression levels of genes associated with osteoblast differentiation, such as Runx2, Osterix, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin genes. Furthermore, the activities of MMP2 and MMP9, which are involved in ECM remodeling, were modulated by mechanosignaling-related angiocrine factors. This modulation is likely an initial event preceding the mineralization phase. CONCLUSION Based on our findings, we propose that mechanosignaling drives the release of angiocrine factors capable of modulating the osteogenic phenotype at the biointerface with zirconia. This process creates a microenvironment that promotes wound healing and osseointegration. Moreover, these results highlight the importance of considering the mechanosignaling of endothelial cells in the modulation of bone healing and osseointegration in the context of blood vessel effects. Our data provide new insights and open avenues for further investigation into the influence of mechanosignaling on bone healing and the osseointegration of dental devices.

Abstract
Reactive gliosis of Müller cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, has been shown to improve DR by inhibiting reactive gliosis. However, the mechanism of inhibition has yet to be elucidated. This study investigated the effects of liraglutide on Müller glia reactivity in the early stages of DR and the underlying mechanisms. Proteomics combined with bioinformatics analysis, HE staining, and immunofluorescence staining revealed ganglion cell loss, reactive gliosis of Müller cells, and extracellular matrix (ECM) imbalance in rats with early stages of DR. High glucose (HG) exposure up-regulated GFAP and TNF-α expression and down-regulated ITGB1 expression and FN1 content in extracellular fluid in rMC1 cells, thereby promoting reactive gliosis. GLP-1R knockdown and HG+DAPT inhibition experiments show that liraglutide balances ECM levels by inhibiting activation of the Notch1/Hes1 pathway and ameliorates high-glucose-induced Müller glia reactivity. Thus, the study provides new targets and ideas for improvement of DR in early stages.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) rely on chemokines and chemokine receptors to execute their biological and physiological functions. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is upregulated in injury sites, where it acts as a chemotactic agent, attracting CXCR4-expressing MSCs, which play a pivotal role in the healing and regeneration of tissue throughout the body. Furthermore, SDF-1 expression has been observed in regions experiencing inflammation-induced bone destruction and fracture sites. In this study, we identified a novel peptide called bone-forming peptide-5 (BFP-5), derived from SDF-1δ, which can promote the osteogenesis of MSCs as well as bone formation and healing. Multipotent bone marrow stromal cells treated with BFP-5 showed enhanced alizarin red S staining and higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Moreover, ALP and osterix proteins were more abundantly expressed when cells were treated with BFP-5 than SDF-1α. Histology and microcomputed tomography data at 12 weeks demonstrated that both rabbit and goat models transplanted with polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds coated with BFP-5 showed significantly greater bone formation than animals transplanted with PCL scaffolds alone. These findings suggest that BFP-5 could be useful in the development of related therapies for conditions associated with bones.

Abstract
Regeneration of periodontal tissues requires an integrated approach to the restoration of the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone surrounding the teeth. Current strategies in endogenous regenerative dentistry widely use biomaterials, in particular the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), to facilitate the recruitment of populations of resident cells into damaged tissues and stimulate their proliferation and differentiation. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of the exogenous components of the extracellular matrix (hyaluronic acid, laminin, fibronectin) on the differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) cultured with dECM (combinations of decellularized tooth matrices and periodontal ligament) in a 3D collagen I hydrogel. The immunohistochemical expression of various markers in PDLSCs was assessed quantitatively and semi-quantitatively on paraffin sections. The results showed that PDLSCs cultured under these conditions for 14 days exhibited phenotypic characteristics consistent with osteoblast-like and odontoblast-like cells. This potential has been demonstrated by the expression of osteogenic differentiation markers (OC, OPN, ALP) and odontogenic markers (DSPP). This phenomenon corresponds to the in vivo state of the periodontal ligament, in which cells at the interface between bone and cementum tend to differentiate into osteoblasts or cementoblasts. The addition of fibronectin to the dECM most effectively induces the differentiation of PDLSCs into osteoblast-like and odontoblast-like cells under 3D culture conditions. Therefore, this bioengineered construct has a high potential for future use in periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a serious complication that develops in oncologic patients treated with Zoledronic acid. Although used for over 30 years, the influence of Zoledronic acid on bone has been thoroughly investigated, mainly on osteoclasts. While decreasing osteoclast differentiation and function, for many years it was thought that Zoledronic acid increased osteoblast differentiation, thus increasing bone volume. Moreover, despite the influence of soft tissue on the bone healing process, the impact of zoledronic acid on the interaction between soft tissue and bone was not investigated. Aim: Our goal was to investigate the influence of Zoledronic Acid and soft tissue cells on osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Materials and methods: Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was examined after exposure to Zoledronic Acid. To determine the influence of soft tissue cells on MSCs' osteogenic differentiation, conditioned media from keratinocytes and oral fibroblasts were added to osteogenic medium supplemented with Zoledronic Acid. Proteomic composition of keratinocytes' and fibroblasts' conditioned media were analyzed. Results: Zoledronic Acid decreased osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by seven-fold. The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was restored by the supplementation of fibroblasts' conditioned medium to osteogenic medium, despite Zoledronic acid treatment. Five osteogenic proteins involved in the TGFβ pathway were exclusively identified in fibroblasts' conditioned medium, suggesting their role in the rescue effect. Conclusion: Oral fibroblasts secrete proteins that enable osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in the presence of Zoledronic Acid.

Abstract
Developing biofunctionalized ceramic bone substitutes with phytobioactives for their sustained delivery is highly desired to enhance the osteo-active potential of ceramic bone substitutes, reduce the systemic toxicity of synthetic drugs, and increase the bioavailability of phytobioactives. The present work highlights the local delivery of phytobioactives of Cissus quadrangularis (CQ) through nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) based ceramic nano-cement. The phytoconstituent profiling represented the optimized CQ fraction to be rich in osteogenic polyphenols and flavonoids like quercetin, resveratrol, and their glucosides. Further, CQ phytobioactives-based formulation was biocompatible, increased bone formation, calcium deposition, proliferation, and migration of cells with simultaneous alleviation of cellular oxidative stress. In the in vivo critical-sized bone defect model, enhanced formation of highly mineralized tissue (BV mm3) in CQ phytobioactives functionalized nano-cement (10.5 ± 2 mm3) were observed compared to the control group (6.5 ± 1.2 mm3). Moreover, the addition of CQ phytobioactives to the bone nano-cement increased the fractional bone volume (BV/TV%) to 21 ± 4.2% compared to 13.1 ± 2.5% in non-functionalized nano-cement. The results demonstrated nHAP-based nano-cement as a carrier for phytobioactives which could be a promising approach for neo-bone formation in different bone defect conditions.

[PMID: 36816999 PMCID: PMC9923811 DOI: 10.34172/bi.2022.23904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Introduction: Biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolds based on natural polymers such as gelatin and chitosan (CS) provide suitable microenvironments in dental tissue engineering. In the present study, we report on the synthesis of injectable thermosensitive hydrogel (PNIPAAm-g-CS copolymer/gelatin hybrid hydrogel) for osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Methods: The CS-g-PNIPAAm was synthesized using the reaction of carboxyl terminated PNIPAAm with CS, which was then mixed with various amounts of gelatin solution in the presence of genipin as a chemical crosslinker to gain a homogenous solution. The chemical composition and microstructures of the fabricated hydrogels were confirmed by FT-IR and SEM analysis, respectively. To evaluate the mechanical properties (e.g., storage and loss modulus of the gels), the rheological analysis was considered. Calcium deposition and ALP activity of DPSCs were carried out using alizarin red staining and ALP test. While the live/dead assay was performed to study its toxicity, the real-time PCR was conducted to investigate the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs cultured on prepared hydrogels. Results: The hydrogels with higher gelatin incorporation showed a slightly looser network compared to the other ones. The hydrogel with less gelatin indicates a rather higher value of G', indicating a higher elasticity due to more crosslinking reaction of amine groups of CS via a covalent bond with genipin. All the hydrogels contained viable cells with negligible dead cells, indicating the high biocompatibility of the prepared hydrogels for hDPSCs. The quantitative results of alizarin red staining displayed a significant rise in calcium deposition in hDPSCs cultured on prepared hydrogels after 21 days. Further, hDPSCs cultured on hydrogel with more gelatin displayed the most ALP activity. The expression of late osteogenic genes such as OCN and BMP-2 were respectively 6 and 4 times higher on the hydrogel with more gelatin than the control group after 21 days. Conclusion: The prepared PNIPAAm-g-CS copolymer/gelatin hybrid hydrogel presented great features (e.g., porous structure, suitable rheological behavior, and improved cell viability), and resulted in osteogenic differentiation necessary for dental tissue engineering.

Abstract
In view of their low immunogenicity, biomimetic internal environment, tissue- and organ-like physicochemical properties, and functionalization potential, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) materials attract considerable attention and are widely used in tissue engineering. This review describes the composition of extracellular matrices and their role in stem-cell differentiation, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of existing decellularization techniques, and presents methods for the functionalization and characterization of decellularized scaffolds. In addition, we discuss progress in the use of dECMs for cartilage, skin, nerve, and muscle repair and the transplantation or regeneration of different whole organs (e.g., kidneys, liver, uterus, lungs, and heart), summarize the shortcomings of using dECMs for tissue and organ repair after refunctionalization, and examine the corresponding future prospects. Thus, the present review helps to further systematize the application of functionalized dECMs in tissue/organ transplantation and keep researchers up to date on recent progress in dECM usage.

Vaspin alleviates the lncRNA LEF1-AS1-induced osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells via the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway. Exp Cell Res 2022; 421:113407. [PMID: 36334793 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2022.113407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) is closely related to higher cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) switching to osteogenic-like cells is crucial for VC. LncRNA LEF1-AS1 promotes atherosclerosis and dental pulp stem cells calcification, while its role in VC remains unknown. Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin) is an adipokine regulating bone metabolism. However, the relationship between vaspin and VC is still unclear. We aimed to explore the role of LEF1-AS1 on VSMC osteogenic transition, whether vaspin inhibited LEF1-AS1-mediated osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs, and the responsible mechanism. In this study, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting analysis indicated that LEF1-AS1 overexpression significantly upregulated osteogenic marker Runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2) level and downregulated VSMC contractile marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) level. Alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity assay, and calcium content assay also suggested that LEF1-AS1 overexpression promoted calcium deposition in VSMCs. However, vaspin treatment abolished this phenomenon. Mechanistically, LEF1-AS1 markedly decreased phosphorylated YAP level, while vaspin reversed LEF1-AS1-induced phosphorylated YAP decline. Our results revealed that LEF1-AS1 accelerated the osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs by regulating the Hippo/YAP pathway, while vaspin eliminated the LEF1-AS1-meditated VSMCs osteogenic phenotype switch.

Abstract
The multidisciplinary fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have the potential to revolutionize the practise of medicine through the abilities to repair, regenerate, or replace tissues and organs with functional engineered constructs. To this end, tissue engineering combines scaffolding materials with cells and biologically active molecules into constructs with the appropriate structures and properties for tissue/organ regeneration, where scaffolding materials and biomolecules are the keys to mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM). For this, one emerging way is to decellularize the native ECM into the materials suitable for, directly or in combination with other materials, creating functional constructs. Over the past decade, decellularized ECM (or dECM) has greatly facilitated the advance of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, while being challenged in many ways. This article reviews the recent development of dECM for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with a focus on the preparation of dECM along with its influence on cell culture, the modification of dECM for use as a scaffolding material, and the novel techniques and emerging trends in processing dECM into functional constructs. We highlight the success of dECM and constructs in the in vitro, in vivo, and clinical applications and further identify the key issues and challenges involved, along with a discussion of future research directions.

Abstract
Cellular forces exerted on the extracellular matrix (ECM) during adhesion and migration under physiological and pathological conditions regulate not only the overall cell morphology but also nuclear deformation. Nuclear deformation can alter gene expression, integrity of the nuclear envelope, nucleus-cytoskeletal connection, chromatin architecture, and, in some cases, DNA damage responses. Although nuclear deformation is caused by the transfer of forces from the ECM to the nucleus, the role of intracellular organelles in force transfer remains unclear and a challenging area of study. To elucidate nuclear mechanics, various factors such as appropriate biomaterial properties, processing route, cellular force measurement technique, and micromanipulation of nuclear forces must be understood. In the initial phase of this review, we focused on various engineered biomaterials (natural and synthetic extracellular matrices) and their manufacturing routes along with the properties required to mimic the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, we discussed the principle of tools used to measure the cellular traction force generated during cell adhesion and migration, followed by recently developed techniques to gauge nuclear mechanics. In the last phase of this review, we outlined the principle of traction force microscopy (TFM), challenges in the remodeling of traction forces, microbead displacement tracking algorithm, data transformation from bead movement, and extension of 2-dimensional TFM to multiscale TFM.

Abstract
Here, we evaluated osteogenic differentiation in vitro and new bone formation in vivo using an alendronate-loaded chitosan/polycaprolactone scaffold (CS/PCL) in rats with a critical-sized calvarial defect. Through the action of genipin, which has a crosslinking function, alendronate (AL) was anchored throughout the CS/PCL composite scaffold (CS/PCL@AL) to form an AL sustained release system. We demonstrated that CS/PCL@AL scaffolds significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs) in vitro. Additionally, we explored the possible molecular mechanism of CS/PCL@AL scaffolds in the osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs. This composite scaffold exerted two positive effects on EMSC osteogenic differentiation: 1) the CS/PCL@AL scaffold enhanced EMSC osteogenic differentiation by upregulating bone morphogenetic protein 2, interleukin 10 and laminin expression; and 2) the CS/PCL@AL scaffold promoted the osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs by activating the yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling pathway. YAP and its downstream target transglutaminase are crucial mediators in the osteogenic differentiation of EMSCs. Finally, micro-computed tomography analyses and histology results suggested that the CS/PCL@AL scaffold exhibited a superior capacity to accelerate new and mature bone formation in skull bone defects in Sprague-Dawley rats. This simple and low-cost technology may represent a promising strategy to construct an efficient delivery system to repair bone defects.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 9:740712. [PMID: 35155398 PMCID: PMC8829122 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.740712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a pivotal role in many physiological processes. ECM macromolecules and associated factors differ according to tissues, impact cell differentiation, and tissue homeostasis. Dental pulp ECM may differ from other oral tissues and impact mineralization. Thus, the present study aimed to identify the matrisome of ECM proteins derived from human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and its ability to regulate mineralization even in cells which do not respond to assaults by mineralization, the human gingival fibroblasts (GF). Methods: ECM were extracted from DPSCs cultured in normal growth medium supplemented with L-ascorbic acid (N-ECM) or in osteogenic induction medium (OM-ECM). ECM decellularization (dECM) was performed using 0.5% triton X-100 in 20 mM ammonium hydroxide after 21 days. Mass spectrometry and proteomic analysis identified and quantified matrisome proteins. Results: The dECM contained ECM proteins but lacked cellular components and mineralization. Interestingly, collagens (COL6A1, COL6A2, and COL6A3) and elastic fibers (FBN1, FBLN2, FN1, and HSPG2) were significantly represented in N-ECM, while annexins (ANXA1, ANXA4, ANXA5, ANXA6, ANXA7, and ANXA11) were significantly overdetected in OM-ECM. GF were reseeded on N-dECM and OM-dECM and cultured in normal or osteogenic medium. GF were able to attach and proliferate on N-dECM and OM-dECM. Both dECM enhanced mineralization of GF at day 14 compared to tissue culture plate (TCP). In addition, OM-dECM promoted higher mineralization of GF than N-dECM although cultured in growth medium. Conclusions: ECM derived from DPSCs proved to be osteoinductive, and this knowledge supported cell-derived ECM can be further utilized for tissue engineering of mineralized tissues.

Abstract
3D bioprinting technique renders a plausible solution to tissue engineering applications, mainly bone tissue regeneration, which could provide the microenvironment with desired physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. However, the mechanical and structural stability of current natural polymers is a critical issue in the fabrication of bone tissue-engineered scaffolds. To overcome these issues, we have developed 3D bioprintable semi-synthetic polymers derived from natural (sodium alginate, A) and synthetic (polyethylene glycol, PEG) biopolymers. In order to enhance the cross-linking properties and biocompatibility, we have functionalized these polymers with acrylate and methacrylate chemical moieties. These selected combination of natural and synthetic polymers improved the mechanical strength due to the synergistic effect of covalent as well as ionic bond formation in the hydrogel system, which is evident from the tested tensile data. Further, the feasibility of 3D bioprinting of acrylate and methacrylate functionalized PEG and hydrogels have been tested for the biocompatibility of the fabricated structures with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs). Further, these bioprinted scaffolds were investigated for osteogenic differentiation of UMSCs in two types of culture conditions: namely, i) with osteoinduction media (with OIM), ii) without osteoinduction media (w/o OIM). We have examined the osteoinductivity of scaffolds with the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) content, and significant changes in the ALP activity was observed with the stiffness of developed materials. The extent osteogenic differentiation was observed by alizarin red staining and reverse transcription PCR analysis. Elevated levels of ALP, RUNX2 and COL1 gene expression has been observed in without OIM samples on week 1 and week 3. Further, our study showed that the synthesized alginate methacrylate (AMA) without osteoinduction supplement with young's modulus of 0.34 MPa has a significant difference in ALP quantity and gene expression over the other reported literature. Thus, this work plays a pivotal role in the development of 3D bioprintable and photo-cross-linkable hydrogels in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND Recently, decellularized matrix (DCM) is considered as a new biomaterial for tissue regeneration. To explore the possible application of DCM in periodontal regeneration, the effect of DCM from three different cells on the proliferation and differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) was investigated. METHODS DCM derived from human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), dental pulp cells (DPCs), and gingival fibroblasts (GFs) were fabricated using Triton X-100/NH4 OH combined with DNase I. Allogeneic PDLSCs were cultured on PDLC-DCM, DPC-DCM, and GF-DCM, respectively. The proliferative capacity of PDLSCs was evaluated by PicoGreen assay kit. The expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN), collagen I (COL1), periostin (POSTN), and cementum protein 1 (CEMP1) were detected by qRT-PCR and western blotting. RESULTS PDLC-DCM, DPC-DCM, and GF-DCM had similar and integrated networks of extracellular matrix, as well as significantly decreased DNA content. Compared with control group in which PDLSCs were directly seeded in culture plates, PDLC-DCM, DPC-DCM, and GF-DCM promoted the proliferation of re-seeded PDLSCs. Additionally, PDLSCs on DCM exhibited higher mRNA and protein expression levels of ALP, RUNX2, OCN, and COL1. The expression of POSTN in PDLC-DCM group was significantly higher than control group at both mRNA and protein levels. CONCLUSIONS PDLC-DCM, DPC-DCM, and GF-DCM could enhance the proliferation of PDLSCs. PDLC-DCM facilitated osteogenic differentiation and periodontal ligament differentiation of PDLSCs, while DPC-DCM and GF-DCM promoted osteogenic differentiation.

[PMID: 33957991 PMCID: PMC8101178 DOI: 10.1186/s40824-021-00218-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Human chorion membrane extracts (CME) are known to exhibit osteogenic effects when used for treating human osteoblast-like cells (MG63 cells), but the active compound in CME remains unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of exosomes in CME and to determine the osteogenic effect of CME exosomes on MG63 cells. Methods Exosomes were isolated from human placenta CME using the ExoQuick-TC solution and were characterized. The activity and deposition of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) on MG63 cells cultured with or without exosomes in osteogenic induction medium (OIM) were determined. Human amniotic membrane extracts (AME) were used as controls as they had not affected the osteogenic differentiation of MG63 cells in our previous study. Results Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that exosomes isolated from CME and AME (CME-Exo and AME-Exo, respectively) had a cup-shaped structure. NanoSight™ particle tracking analysis (NTA) confirmed that the size of these exosomes was 100–150 nm. In vitro osteogenic experiments demonstrated that the exosomes from CME, but not those from AME, presented increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and resulted in the mineralization of MG63 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Exosomes were identified in CME and AME from the human placenta. Further, the exosomes from CME were found to be capable of promoting osteogenic differentiation, suggesting that exosomes are a key component of CME that stimulate the osteogenesis of human osteoblast-like cells. CME exosomes can be developed as promising therapeutic candidates for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Most cases of dominantly inherited osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) are caused by glycine substitutions in the triple helical domain of type I collagen α chains, which delay collagen folding, and cause the synthesis of collagen triple helical molecules with abnormal structure and post-translational modification. A variable extent of mutant collagen ER retention and other secondary mutation effects perturb osteoblast homeostasis and impair bone matrix quality. Amelioration of OI osteoblast homeostasis could be beneficial both to osteoblast anabolic activity and to the content of the extracellular matrix they deposit. Therefore, the effect of the chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) on cell homeostasis, collagen trafficking, matrix production and mineralization was investigated in primary osteoblasts from two murine models of moderate OI, Col1a1+/G349C and Col1a2+/G610C. At the cellular level, 4-PBA prevented intracellular accumulation of collagen and increased protein secretion, reducing aggregates within the mutant cells and normalizing ER morphology. At the extracellular level, increased collagen incorporation into matrix, associated with more mature collagen fibrils, was observed in osteoblasts from both models. 4-PBA also promoted OI osteoblast mineral deposition by increasing alkaline phosphatase expression and activity. Targeting osteoblast stress with 4-PBA improved both cellular and matrix abnormalities in culture, supporting further in vivo studies of its effect on bone tissue composition, strength and mineralization as a potential treatment for classical OI.

Abstract
Simple Summary Intensive selection in broiler chicken flocks has led do several leg disorders. The injection of nanoparticles, with high specificity to the bone, into the egg is a potential method to improve bone quality. The objective of our study was to evaluate the potential effect of calcium carbonate nanoparticles injected to the egg on chicken embryo development and bone quality of broiler chickens after 42 day of life. The calcium carbonate nanoparticles were not toxic to embryo and even improved the bone quality of embryos and later broilers without negative impact on production results. Thus, the application of calcium carbonate nanoparticles to the egg may be the potential solution for improving the bone mineralization of broiler chickens. Abstract The use of intensive selection procedure in modern broiler chicken lines has led to the development of several skeletal disorders in broiler chickens. Therefore, current research is focused on methods to improve the bone quality in birds. In ovo technology, using nanoparticles with a high specificity to bones, is a potential approach. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of in ovo inoculation (IOI) of calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CCN) on chicken embryo development, health status, bone characteristics, and on broiler production results and bone quality. After assessing in vitro cell viability, the IOI procedure was performed with an injection of 500 μg/mL CCN. The control group was not inoculated with CCN. Hatchability, weight, and selected bone and serum parameters were measured in embryos. Part of hatchlings were reared under standard conditions until 42 days, and production results, meat quality, and bone quality of broilers were determined. CCN did not show cytotoxicity to cells and chicken embryo and positively influenced bone parameters of the embryos and of broilers later (calcification) without negatively affecting the production results. Thus, the IOI of CCN could modify the molecular responses at the stage of embryogenesis, resulting in better mineralization, and could provide a sustained effect, thereby improving bone quality in adult birds.

Abstract
A decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) is an excellent biomaterial in regenerative medicine, due to its biomimetic nature in targeting tissues and organs. In this study, we prepared cell-derived ECMs (CDM) derived from four different cell sources, characterized them individually, and found that intrinsic properties of each CDM were substantially different in terms of the fibrous matrix, total protein, and biochemical factors. Based on such information, we selected two ECM candidates, the human lung fibroblast derived matrix (hFDM) and the umbilical cord-blood mesenchymal stem cell derived matrix (UMDM) for the study of ECM-macrophage interactions in vitro and in vivo. In fact, UMDM was the richer in both total protein and angiogenic-related cytokines than any other CDM. When THP-1 cell-derived macrophages (M0) were seeded onto the UMDM or the hFDM, it showed a mixed cell morphology of macrophage phenotype and the macrophages (M0) preconditioned on UMDM presented more diverse cytokine release profiles. The treatment of conditioned medium obtained from CDM-seeded macrophages showed that UMDM could yield significantly advanced wound closure in 24 h via the human dermal fibroblast scratch model. To investigate the role of ECM on macrophage polarization in vivo, we prepared an ECM hydrogel, a mixture of each CDM and Pluronic F127/hyaluronan, and applied them onto a full-thickness mouse skin wound model for 2 weeks. The therapeutic efficacy as assessed via histology and immunofluorescence staining (α-SMA and CD206) revealed that the UMDM-treated group showed more effective wound healing compared to the other groups, as proven via the thinner epidermal layer, significant recovery of skin appendage, better neovascularization, and higher recruitment of myofibroblasts and larger number of macrophages (M2) at 7 days. The difference between UMDM and hFDM was marginal. Taken together, among the CDMs, UMDM and hFDM are promising resources of ECM, showing a great potential for wound healing. Although the mechanism is not fully understood, bioactive innate factors in UMDM may contribute individually and/or collectively to advance wound healing.

Abstract
Implants for bone regeneration to remedy segmental bone defects, osteomyelitis, necrotic bone tissue and non-union fractures have worldwide appeal. Although biomaterials offer most of the advantages by improving tissue growth but developments are more commonly achieved via biologically derived molecules. To aid site specific bone tissue regeneration by synthetic scaffold, cell derived extracellular matrix (ECM) can be a crucial component. In this study, co-cultured bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell and osteoblastic cells derived ECM incorporated electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) membranes were assessed for bone tissue engineering application. The preliminary experimental details indicated that, co-culture of cells supported enhanced in vitro ECM synthesis followed by successful deposition of osteoblastic ECM into electrospun membranes. The acellular samples revealed retention of ECM related biomacromolecules (collagen, glycosaminoglycan) and partial recovery of pores after decellularization. In vitro biocompatibility tests ensured improvement of proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in decellularized ECM containing membrane (PCL-ECM) compared to bare membrane (PCL-B) which was further confirmed by osteogenic marker proteins expression analysis. The decellularized PCL-ECM membrane allowed great improvement of bone regeneration over the bare membrane (PCL-B) in 8 mm size critical sized rat skull defects at 2 months of post implantation. In short, the outcome of this study could be impactful in development and application of cell derived ECM based synthetic electrospun templates for bone tissue engineering application.[Formula: see text].

Abstract
Numerous treatment methods have been developed to modify the surface of dental implants to improve cell migration and proliferation, removal torque, and osseointegration. Recent studies have constructed cell sheet-implant complexes with enhanced osteogenic capabilities. However, these complexes have some limitations, such as requirements for complex preparation processes, cell vitality maintenance, strict preservation conditions, and the induction of immunogenicity. Extracellular matrix (ECM) sheets without cells may be a more desirable material. To date, the effect of ECM sheets on implant osseointegration has not been reported. In this study, we fabricated ECM sheet-implant complexes through the combination of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived ECM sheets with sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) implants. These complexes were characterized by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and immunofluorescence (IF) assays. The adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs cultured on ECM sheets were detected in vitro. Then, the ECM sheet-implant complexes were transplanted into the metaphysis of the tibias of rats to evaluate the implant osseointegration in vivo. The results showed that ECM sheets were successfully constructed and showed significantly improved adhesion and proliferation. BMSCs cultured on ECM sheets upregulated the expression levels of the osteogenic-related genes alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) compared to controls. In vivo, ECM sheet-implant complexes demonstrated superior new bone formation. Our findings proved that the BMSC-derived ECM sheets promoted osseointegration in vitro and in vivo. The current study indicated that the ECM sheet could be an ideal tissue engineering material, and ECM sheet-implant complexes could provide a strategy with low immunogenicity and easy storage and transportation. This research provides a novel strategy for the development of implant surface modification approaches.

Abstract
Cell-derived extracellular matrices (CD-ECMs) captured increasing attention since the first studies in the 1980s. The biological resemblance of CD-ECMs to their in vivo counterparts and natural complexity provide them with a prevailing bioactivity. CD-ECMs offer the opportunity to produce microenvironments with costumizable biological and biophysical properties in a controlled setting. As a result, CD-ECMs can improve cellular functions such as stemness or be employed as a platform to study cellular niches in health and disease. Either on their own or integrated with other materials, CD-ECMs can also be utilized as biomaterials to engineer tissues de novo or facilitate endogenous healing and regeneration. This review provides a brief overview over the methodologies used to facilitate CD-ECM deposition and manufacturing. It explores the versatile uses of CD-ECM in fundamental research and therapeutic approaches, while highlighting innovative strategies. Furthermore, current challenges are identified and it is accentuated that advancements in methodologies, as well as innovative interdisciplinary approaches are needed to take CD-ECM-based research to the next level.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to identify the key biological processes during osteogenic differentiation. To this end, we downloaded three microarray data sets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database: GSE12266, GSE18043 and GSE37558. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using the limma package, and enrichment analysis was performed. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) analysis and visualization analysis were performed with STRING and Cytoscape. A total of 240 DEGs were identified, including 147 up-regulated genes and 93 down-regulated genes. Functional enrichment and pathways of the present DEGs include extracellular matrix organization, ossification, cell division, spindle and microtubule. Functional enrichment analysis of 10 hub genes showed that these genes are mainly enriched in microtubule-related biological changes, that is sister chromatid segregation, microtubule cytoskeleton organization involved in mitosis, and spindle microtubule. Moreover, immunofluorescence and Western blotting revealed dramatic quantitative and morphological changes in the microtubules during the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells. In summary, the present results provide novel insights into the microtubule- and cytoskeleton-related biological process changes, identifying candidates for the further study of osteogenic differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
Liquid crystal (LC), a characteristic substance of biofilms, has been reported to positively affect cell affinity. To better combine and utilize the properties of an LC and the advantages of polyurethane (PU) elastomers, the three-dimensional printing (3DP) molding technology and the simple soaking-swelling blending technology were used to construct PU/LC 3D composite scaffolds, and the compressive strength, porosity, hydrophilicity, and in vitro cell experiments of the scaffolds were initially discussed. The results indicated that the newly developed PU/LC 3D composite scaffolds exhibited an LC state; the addition of an LC did not change the porosity after swelling while maintaining a high porosity; the compressive strength of the composite scaffolds decreased while still maintaining high mechanical properties and enhancing hydrophilicity. At the same time, it could improve the cell affinity on the surface of the material, which was beneficial to increase the cell adhesion rate and cell activity, promote the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells grown on the materials, and improve the alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium nodules, and the expression of related osteogenic genes and proteins. These results demonstrated potential applications of PU/LC composite scaffolds in repairing or regeneration of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
MiR-21 is being gradually more and more recognized as a molecule regulating bone tissue homeostasis. However, its function is not fully understood due to the dual role of miR-21 on bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells. In this study, we investigated the impact of miR-21 inhibition on pre-osteoblastic cells differentiation and paracrine signaling towards pre-osteoclasts using indirect co-culture model of mouse pre-osteoblast (MC3T3) and pre-osteoclast (4B12) cell lines. The inhibition of miR-21 in MC3T3 cells (MC3T3inh21) modulated expression of genes encoding osteogenic markers including collagen type I (Coll-1), osteocalcin (Ocl), osteopontin (Opn), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx-2). Inhibition of miR-21 in osteogenic cultures of MC3T3 also inflected the synthesis of OPN protein which is essential for proper mineralization of extracellular matrix (ECM) and anchoring osteoclasts to the bones. Furthermore, it was shown that in osteoblasts miR-21 regulates expression of factors that are vital for survival of pre-osteoclast, such as receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL). The pre-osteoclast cultured with MC3T3inh21 cells was characterized by lowered expression of several markers associated with osteoclasts' differentiation, foremost tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (Trap) but also receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (Rank), cathepsin K (Ctsk), carbonic anhydrase II (CaII), and matrix metalloproteinase (Mmp-9). Collectively, our data indicate that the inhibition of miR-21 in MC3T3 cells impairs the differentiation and ECM mineralization as well as influences paracrine signaling leading to decreased viability of pre-osteoclasts.

Cytoprotective effect of Fufang Lurong Jiangu capsule against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in bone marrow stromal cell-derived osteoblasts through the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Biomed Pharmacother 2019; 121:109676. [PMID: 31810119 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2019.109676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2019] [Revised: 11/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/13/2019] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress is increasingly recognized as a risk factor associated with the development and progression of osteoporosis. Fufang Lurong Jiangu Capsule (FLJC) has a known anti-osteoporotic effect, but its pharmacological effect on osteoblasts is not clearly understood. This study was designed to investigate FLJC effects/mechanisms on in vitro hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage of osteoblasts and on in vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mice bone loss. FLJC alleviates osteoporosis via unknown pharmacological mechanisms. METHODS Chemical compositions of FLJC preparations were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprinting. After rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation induction, resulting osteoblasts received various 48 h FLJC pretreatments before H2O2-based (200 μM) oxidative stress exposure. FLJC effects were measured on osteoblast cell viability, morphological changes, levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), localization of mitochondria, activity of antioxidant enzymes, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and mineralization, the secretion of Col I and expression of osteogenic markers. The percentages of apoptosis were determined by flow cytometric analysis; apoptosis-related protein levels, including nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) with or without Nrf2 inhibitor were analyzed via western blot. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and ALP staining revealed in vivo FLJC effect on mice LPS-induced bone loss. RESULTS Five chemical components in FLJC were identified, and fingerprint analysis showed good reproducibility. FLJC pretreatment significantly reduced H2O2-induced ROS levels in osteoblasts and increased antioxidant enzyme activities to reduce oxidative damage. With regard to osteoblast differentiation, FLJC pretreatment increased ALP expression, as well as levels of mineralization and osteoblast markers. Additionally, FLJC protected against H2O2-induced apoptosis by inhibiting changes in expression of major Bcl-2 family effector proteins of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Furthermore, FLJC protected cells from H2O2-induced oxidative damage by up-regulating Nrf2 and HO-1 protein levels. Finally, we confirmed that FLJC administration could reverse the bone loss in LPS-induced mice. CONCLUSION These results indicate that FLJC may significantly attenuate oxidative damage of osteoblasts induced by H2O2 via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, providing new insights to guide development of treatments for osteoporosis induced by oxidative injury.

Abstract
Inconsistencies in graft osteoconduction and osteoinduction present a clinical challenge in regeneration of large bone defects. Deposition of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) on tissue engineered scaffolds offers an alternative approach that can enhance these properties by mimicking bone's molecular complexity and direct infiltrating cells to repair damaged bone. However, dECMs derived from homogenous cell populations do not adequately simulate the heterogeneous and vascularized microenvironment of the bone. In this study, successive culture and decellularization of fibroblasts and endothelial cells (ECs) grown on polycaprolactone microfibers was used to develop a bioactive scaffold with heterogeneous dECM mimicking endothelial basement membrane. These scaffolds had greater amount of protein and minimally increased nucleic acid content than scaffolds with homogenous culture dECM. Coomassie Blue and antibody staining revealed extensive tube formation by ECs on fibroblast dECM. Fibroblast/endothelial dECM significantly enhanced osteoblast attachment, alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteocalcin- and osteopontin-positive extracellular mineral deposits. We demonstrated that the osteoconduction of dECMs can be tailored with the appropriate combination of cells to accelerate osteoblast mineral secretion. The overall concept can be expanded to generate increasingly more complex tissue constructs for regeneration of bone defects and other vascularized tissues.

Abstract
Background Tissue regeneration includes delivering specific types of cells or cell products to injured tissues or organs for restoration of tissue and organ function. Stem cell therapy has drawn considerable attention since transplantation of stem cells can overcome the limitations of autologous transplantation of patient’s tissues; however, it is not perfect for treating diseases. To overcome the hurdles associated with stem cell therapy, tissue engineering techniques have been developed. Development of stem cell technology in combination with tissue engineering has opened new ways of producing engineered tissue substitutes. Several studies have shown that this combination of tissue engineering and stem cell technologies enhances cell viability, differentiation, and therapeutic efficacy of transplanted stem cells. Main body Stem cells that can be used for tissue regeneration include mesenchymal stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Transplantation of stem cells alone into injured tissues exhibited low therapeutic efficacy due to poor viability and diminished regenerative activity of transplanted cells. In this review, we will discuss the progress of biomedical engineering, including scaffolds, biomaterials, and tissue engineering techniques to overcome the low therapeutic efficacy of stem cells and to treat human diseases. Conclusion The combination of stem cell and tissue engineering techniques overcomes the limitations of stem cells in therapy of human diseases, and presents a new path toward regeneration of injured tissues.

Abstract
Background Formation of mature and functional articular cartilage is still challenging in cartilage tissue engineering. This study investigates the potential of using heparin-grafted decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) as a novel growth factor delivery platform towards human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) chondrogenic differentiation. Human fibroblast-derived extracellular matrix (hFDM) is naturally obtained from in vitro-cultured human lung fibroblasts via a mild decellularization process. hFDM was then conjugated with heparin via N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) chemistry and subject to transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 immobilization. Once heparin grafted-hFDM (hFDM-hep) and hPMSCs were co-embedded into collagen gel, they were examined for in vitro and in vivo chondrogenesis of hPMSCs for 4 weeks. Results We identified heparin moieties on hFDM via toluidine blue O assay and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. We found out that collagen spheroids containing hFDM-hep and TGF-β1 exhibited a sustained release of growth factor for 28 days in vitro. Chondrogenesis of hPMSCs in vitro was supported by accumulated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content and upregulated chondrogenic specific markers (collagen II, aggrecan, Sox9). Meanwhile, PKH26 - labeled hPMSCs incorporated collagen with either hFDM or hFDM-hep was pre-conditioned in a chondrogenic media for 3 days and subcutaneously implanted in the back of nude mice for 4 weeks. The implanted collagen spheroids containing both hPMSCs and hFDM-hep retained more viable hPMSCs and showed higher level of chondrogenic differentiation, based on immunostaining of collagen type II over collagen alone or Col/hFDM group. In addition, histological examination showed more positive signals of GAG via Safranin-O staining. Conclusion TGF-β1-immobilized hFDM-hep can provide an appropriate microenvironment for chondrogenic differentiation of hPMSCs in 3D collagen spheroid.

Abstract
Background In the past decade, stem cells, with their ability to differentiate into various types of cells, have been proven to be resourceful in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Despite the ability to repair damaged parts of organs and tissues, the use of stem cells still entails several limitations, such as low differentiation efficiency and difficulties in guiding differentiation. To address these limitations, nanotechnology approaches have been recently implemented in stem cell research. It has been discovered that stem cells, in combination with carbon-based functional materials, show enhanced regenerative performances in varying biophysical conditions. In particular, several studies have reported solutions to the conventional quandaries in biomedical engineering, using synergetic effects of nanohybrid materials, as well as further development of technologies to recover from diverse health conditions such as bone fracture and strokes. Main text In this review, we discuss several prior studies regarding the application of various nanomaterials in controlling the behavior of stem cells. We focus on the potential of different types of nanomaterials, such as two-dimensional materials, gold nanoparticles, and three-dimensional nanohybrid composites, to control the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). These materials have been found to affect stem cell functions via the adsorption of growth/differentiation factors on the surfaces of nanomaterials and the activation of signaling pathways that are mostly related to cell adhesion and differentiation (e.g., FAK, Smad, Erk, and Wnt). Conclusion Controlling stem cell differentiation using biophysical factors, especially the use of nanohybrid materials to functionalize underlying substrates wherein the cells attach and grow, is a promising strategy to achieve cells of interest in a highly efficient manner. We hope that this review will facilitate the use of other types of newly discovered and/or synthesized nanomaterials (e.g., metal transition dichalcogenides, non-toxic quantum dots, and metal oxide frameworks) for stem cell-based regenerative therapies.
