Abstract
Macrophages are key regulators in bone repair and regeneration. Recent studies have shown that long-term epigenetic changes and metabolic shifts occur during specific immune training of macrophages that affect their functional state, resulting in heightened (trained) or reduced (tolerant) responses upon exposure to a second stimulus. This is known as innate immune memory. Here, we study the impact of macrophages' memory trait on osteoblast differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) and osteoclast differentiation. An in vitro trained immunity protocol of monocyte-derived macrophages was employed using inactivated Candida albicans and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) to induce a 'trained' state and Pam3CSK4 (PAM) and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to induce a 'tolerance' state. Macrophages were subsequently cocultured with hMSCs undergoing osteogenic differentiation during either resting (unstimulated) or inflammatory conditions (restimulated with LPS). Alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization, and cytokine levels (TNF, IL-6, oncostatin M and SDF-1α) were measured. In addition, macrophages underwent osteoclast differentiation. Our findings show that trained and tolerized macrophages induced opposing results. Under resting conditions, BCG-trained macrophages enhanced ALP levels (threefold), while under inflammatory conditions this was found in the LPS-tolerized macrophages (fourfold). Coculture of hMSCs with trained macrophages showed mineralization while tolerized macrophages inhibited the process under both resting and inflammatory conditions. While osteoclast differentiation was not affected in trained-macrophages, this ability was significantly loss in tolerized ones. This study further confirms the intricate cross talk between immune cells and bone cells, highlighting the need to consider this interaction in the development of personalized approaches for bone regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The effect of immunoinflammation on bone repair during the recovery process of bone defects needs to be further explored. It is reported that Mg2+ can promote bone repair with immunoregulatory effect, but the underlying mechanism on adaptive immunity is still unclear. Here, by using chitosan and hyaluronic acid-coated Mg2+ (CSHA-Mg) in bone-deficient mice, it is shown that Mg2+ can inhibit the activation of CD4+ T cells and increase regulatory T cell formation by inducing immunosuppressive dendritic cells (imDCs). Mechanistically, Mg2+ initiates the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway through TRPM7 channels on DCs. This process subsequently induces the downstream HIF-1α expression, a transcription factor that amplifies TGF-β production and inhibits the effective T cell function. In vivo, knock-out of HIF-1α in DCs or using a HIF-1α inhibitor PX-478 reverses inhibition of bone inflammation and repair promotion upon Mg2+-treatment. Moreover, roxadustat, which stabilizes HIF-1α protein expression, can significantly promote immunosuppression and bone repair in synergism with CSHA-Mg. Thus, the findings identify a key mechanism for DCs and its HIF-1α-TGF-β axis in the induction of immunosuppressive bone microenvironment, providing potential targets for bone regeneration.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review aims to provide an overview of the multiple functions of neutrophils, with the recognition of the inflammatory (N1) and regenerative (N2) phenotypes, in relation to fracture healing. METHODS A literature search was performed using the PubMed database. The quality of the articles was evaluated using critical appraisal checklists. RESULTS Thirty one studies were included in this review. These studies consistently support that neutrophils exert both beneficial and detrimental effects on bone regeneration, influenced by Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin 8 (IL-8), mast cells, and macrophages. The N2 phenotype has recently emerged as one promoter of bone healing. The N1 phenotype has progressively been connected with inflammatory neutrophils during fracture healing. CONCLUSIONS This review has pinpointed various aspects and mechanisms of neutrophil influence on bone healing. The recognition of N1 and N2 neutrophil phenotypes potentially shed new light on the dynamic shifts taking place within the Fracture Hematoma (FH).

Abstract
Objective: To explore the changes of a series of cytokines before and after percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (PKP) and prognostic markers for response to PKP.Methods: From 1 January 2019 to 31 May 2019, all single-level lumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) patients diagnosed by MRI who matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. They were classified into the effective group and the ineffective group based on the outcome after PKP. The levels of a series of inflammatory factors and indices of spinal functions were obtained before and after PKP.Results: A total of 72 patients were included in this study, 59 in the effective group and 13 in the ineffective group. The anterior height (AH) and posterior height (PH) were 77.3 ± 11.2% and 91.2 ± 9.3%, respectively, in the effective group after PKP, which were higher than that in the ineffective group (p<.001). While, the Kyphotic angle, visual analog scale (VAS), and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score were 9.1 ± 4.3°, 3.1 ± 1.9, and 19.2 ± 4.1 in the effective group, which was lower than that in ineffective group (p<.001). The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were found significantly decreased after treatment in the effective group (p<.05). The logistic regression showed that the levels of IL-6 TNF-α and AH were significant predictor of outcome.Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that PKP can reduce the serum levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α, moreover, the IL-6, TNF-α, and AH were significant predictors of outcome.

Abstract
The immune system plays an integral role in the regulation of cellular processes responsible for fracture healing. Local and systemic influences on fracture healing correlate in many ways with fracture-related outcomes, including soft tissue healing quality and fracture union rates. Impaired soft tissue healing, restricted perfusion of a fracture site, and infection also in turn affect the immune response to fracture injury. Modern techniques used to investigate the relationship between immune system function and fracture healing include precision medicine, using vast quantities of data to interpret broad patterns of inflammatory response. Early data from the PRECISE trial have demonstrated distinct patterns of inflammatory response in polytrauma patients, which thereby directly and indirectly regulate the fracture healing response. The clearly demonstrated linkage between immune function and fracture healing suggests that modulation of immune function has significant potential as a therapeutic target that can be used to enhance fracture healing.

Abstract
Cranial bone defects remain a major clinical challenge, increasing patients' life burdens. Tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites play crucial roles in facilitating bone tissue regeneration. However, the development of TCA cycle metabolite-modified biomimetic grafts for skull bone regeneration still needs to be improved. The mechanism underlying the release of TCA cycle metabolites from biomaterials in regulating immune responses and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) fate (migration and differentiation) remains unknown. Herein, this work constructs biomimetic hydrogels composed of gelatin and chitosan networks covalently cross-linked by genipin (CGG hydrogels). A series of TCA cycle metabolite-coordinated CGG hydrogels with strong mechanical and antiswelling performances are subsequently developed. Remarkably, the citrate (Na3Cit, Cit)-coordinated CGG hydrogels (CGG-Cit hydrogels) with the highest mechanical modulus and strength significantly promote skull bone regeneration in rat and murine cranial defects. Mechanistically, using a transgenic mouse model, bulk RNA sequencing, and single-cell RNA sequencing, this work demonstrates that CGG-Cit hydrogels promote Gli1+ MSC migration via neutrophil-secreted oncostatin M. Results also indicate that citrate improves osteogenesis via enhanced histone H3K9 acetylation on osteogenic master genes. Taken together, the immune microenvironment- and MSC fate-regulated CGG-Cit hydrogels represent a highly efficient and facile approach toward skull bone tissue regeneration with great potential for bench-to-bedside translation.

Abstract
Enhancing osteogenesis via modulating immune cells is emerging as a new approach to address the current challenges in repairing bone defects and fractures. However, much remains unknown about the crosstalk between immune cells and osteolineage cells during bone formation. Moreover, biomaterial scaffold-based approaches to effectively modulate this crosstalk to favor bone healing are also lacking. This study is the first to investigate the interactions between macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in co-cultures with the sustained release of an anti-inflammatory and pro-osteogenesis drug (dexamethasone) from three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds. We successfully achieved the sustained release of dexamethasone from polycaprolactone (PCL) by adding the excipient-sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB). Dexamethasone was released over 35 days in the 17-163 nM range. The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was enhanced by M1 macrophages at early time points. The late-stage mineralization was dominated by dexamethasone, with little contribution from the macrophages. Besides confirming BMP-2 whose secretion was promoted by both dexamethasone and M1 macrophages as a soluble mediator for enhanced osteogenesis, IL-6 was found to be a possible new soluble factor that mediated osteogenesis in macrophage-MSC co-cultures. The phenotype switching from M1 to M2 was drastically enhanced by the scaffold-released dexamethasone but only marginally by the co-cultured MSCs. Our results offer new insight into macrophage-MSC crosstalk and demonstrate the potential of using drug-release scaffolds to both modulate inflammation and enhance bone regeneration.

Deletion of CD47 from Schwann cells and macrophages hastens myelin disruption/dismantling and scavenging in Schwann cells and augments myelin debris phagocytosis in macrophages. J Neuroinflammation 2023; 20:243. [PMID: 37872624 PMCID: PMC10594853 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-023-02929-0] [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: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myelin that surrounds axons breaks in trauma and disease; e.g., peripheral nerve and spinal cord injuries (PNI and SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Resulting myelin debris hinders repair if not effectively scavenged by Schwann cells and macrophages in PNI and by microglia in SCI and MS. We showed previously that myelin debris evades phagocytosis as CD47 on myelin ligates SIRPα (signal regulatory protein-α) on macrophages and microglia, triggering SIRPα to inhibit phagocytosis in phagocytes. Using PNI as a model, we tested the in vivo significance of SIRPα-dependent phagocytosis inhibition in SIRPα null mice, showing that SIRPα deletion leads to accelerated myelin debris clearance, axon regeneration and recovery of function from PNI. Herein, we tested how deletion of CD47, a SIRPα ligand and a cell surface receptor on Schwann cells and phagocytes, affects recovery from PNI. METHODS Using CD47 null (CD47-/-) and wild type mice, we studied myelin disruption/dismantling and debris clearance, axon regeneration and recovery of function from PNI. RESULTS As expected from CD47 on myelin acting as a SIRPα ligand that normally triggers SIRPα-dependent phagocytosis inhibition in phagocytes, myelin debris clearance, axon regeneration and function recovery were all faster in CD47-/- mice than in wild type mice. Unexpectedly compared with wild type mice, myelin debris clearance started sooner and CD47-deleted Schwann cells displayed enhanced disruption/dismantling and scavenging of myelin in CD47-/- mice. Furthermore, CD47-deleted macrophages from CD47-/- mice phagocytosed more myelin debris than CD47-expressing phagocytes from wild type mice. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals two novel normally occurring CD47-dependent mechanisms that impede myelin debris clearance. First, CD47 expressed on Schwann cells inhibits myelin disruption/dismantling and debris scavenging in Schwann cells. Second, CD47 expressed on macrophages inhibits myelin debris phagocytosis in phagocytes. The two add to a third mechanism that we previously documented whereby CD47 on myelin ligates SIRPα on macrophages and microglia, triggering SIRPα-dependent phagocytosis inhibition in phagocytes. Thus, CD47 plays multiple inhibitory roles that combined impede myelin debris clearance, leading to delayed recovery from PNI. Similar inhibitory roles in microglia may hinder recovery from other pathologies in which repair depends on efficient phagocytosis (e.g., SCI and MS).

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate inflammatory response in critical bone injuries after implantation of the biomaterial composed of hydroxyapatite (HA)/poly (lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA)/BLEED. METHODS Forty-eight male Wistar rats (280 ± 20 grams) were divided into two groups: control group (CG), in which the animals do not receive any type of treatment; and biomaterial group (BG), in which the animals received the HA/PLGA/BLEED scaffold. Critical bone injury was induced in the medial region of the skull calotte with the aid of a trephine drill 8 mm in diameter. The biomaterial was implanted in the form of 1.5-mm thick scaffolds. Serum and calotte were collected at one, three and seven days. RESULTS Biomaterial had a significant effect on the morphological structure of the bone, accelerating osteoblast activation within three days, without causing exacerbated systemic inflammation. In addition, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that BG induced upregulation of osteogenic genes such as runt-related transcription factor 2, and stimulated genes of inflammatory pathways such as tumor necrosis factor-α, on the first day without overexpressing genes related to bone matrix degradation, such as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9. CONCLUSIONS The HA/PLGA/BLEED® association can be used as a bone graft to aid bone repair, as it is capable of modulating expression of important genes at this stage of the repair process.

Disruption of TNF-α signaling improves osteoblastic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and bone repair. Biotechnol Bioeng 2023; 120:3067-3078. [PMID: 37317560 DOI: 10.1002/bit.28468] [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: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Adipose tissue is an attractive source of mesenchymal stem cells (at-MSCs), but their low osteogenic potential limits their use in bone regeneration. Adipose tissue plays a role in pro-inflammatory diseases by releasing cytokines with a catabolic effect on bone, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Thus, we hypothesized that endogenous TNF-α could have a negative effect on at-MSC differentiation into osteoblasts. Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting TNF-α receptors (siR1, siR2, and si1R/R2) were transfected into at-MSCs, and cell differentiation was assessed by measuring the expression of bone markers, ALP activity, and mineralized matrix. Scrambled was used as Control. Knockout at-MSCs (KOR1/R2) was injected in mice calvaria defects, and bone formation was evaluated by microtomography and histological analysis. Data were compared by Kruskal-Wallis or analysis of variance (5%). The expression of bone markers confirmed that at-MSCs differentiate less than bone marrow MSCs. In silenced cells, the expression of Alp, Runx2, and Opn was generally higher compared to Control. ALP, RUNX2, and OPN were expressed at elevated levels in silenced groups, most notably at-MSCs-siR1/R2. ALP was detected at high levels in at-MSCs-siR1/R2 and in-MSCs-siR1, followed by an increase in mineralized nodules in at-MSCs-siR1/R2. As the morphometric parameters increased, the groups treated with KOR1/R2 exhibited slight bone formation near the edges of the defects. Endogenous TNF-α inhibits osteoblast differentiation and activity in at-MSCs, and its disruption increases bone formation. While opening a path of investigation, that may lead to the development of new treatments for bone regeneration using at-MSC-based therapies.

An in vivo study to investigate an original intramedullary bone graft harvesting technology. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:349. [PMID: 37715198 PMCID: PMC10503043 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01328-8] [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: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Harvesting bone graft (BG) from the intramedullary canal to treat bone defects is largely conducted using the Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator (RIA) system. The RIA system uses irrigation fluid during harvesting, which may result in washout of osteoinductive factors. Here, we propose a new harvesting technology dedicated to improving BG collection without the potential washout effect of osteoinductive factors associated with irrigation fluid. This novel technology involves the conceptual approach of first aspirating the bone marrow (BM) with a novel aspirator prototype, followed by reaming with standard reamers and collecting the bone chips with the aspirator (reaming-aspiration method, R-A method). The aim of this study was to assess the harvesting efficacy and osteoinductive profile of the BG harvested with RIA 2 system (RIA 2 group) compared to the novel harvesting concept (aspirator + R-A method, ARA group). METHODS Pre-planning computed tomography (CT) imaging was conducted on 16 sheep to determine the femoral isthmus canal diameter. In this non-recovery study, sheep were divided into two groups: RIA 2 group (n = 8) and ARA group (n = 8). We measured BG weight collected from left femur and determined femoral cortical bone volume reduction in postoperative CT imaging. Growth factor and inflammatory cytokine amounts of the BGs were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. RESULTS The use of the stand-alone novel aspirator in BM collection, and in harvesting BG when the aspirator is used in conjunction with sequential reaming (R-A method) was proven feasible. ELISA results showed that the collected BG contained relevant amounts of growth factors and inflammatory cytokines in both the RIA 2 and the ARA group. CONCLUSIONS Here, we present the first results of an innovative concept for harvesting intramedullary BG. It is a prototype of a novel aspirator technology that enables the stepwise harvesting of first BM and subsequent bone chips from the intramedullary canal of long bones. Both the BG collected with the RIA 2 system and the aspirator prototype had the capacity to preserve the BG's osteoinductive microenvironment. Future in vivo studies are required to confirm the bone regenerative capacity of BG harvested with the innovative harvesting technology.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is a major cause for the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal diseases such as fragility fracture, and nonunion. Studies have shown that modulating the immune phenotype of macrophages from proinflammatory to prohealing mode can heal recalcitrant bone defects. Current therapeutic strategies predominantly apply biochemical cues, which often lack target specificity and controlling their release kinetics in vivo is challenging spatially and temporally. We show a magnetic iron-oxide nanocomplexes (MNC)-based strategy to resolve chronic inflammation in the context of promoting fracture healing. MNC internalized pro-inflammatory macrophages, when coupled with an external magnetic field, exert an intracellular magnetic force on the cytoskeleton, which promotes a prohealing phenotype switch. Mechanistically, the intracellular magnetic force perturbs actin polymerization, thereby significantly reducing nuclear to cytoplasm redistribution of MRTF-A and HDAC3, major drivers of inflammatory and osteogenic gene expressions. This significantly reduces Nos2 gene expression and subsequently downregulates the inflammatory response, as confirmed by quantitative PCR analysis. These findings are a proof of concept to develop MNC-based resolution-centric therapeutic intervention to direct macrophage phenotype and function towards healing and can be translated either to supplement or replace the currently used anti-inflammatory therapies for fracture healing.

Modulation of the Inflammatory Response by Pre-emptive Administration of IMT504 Reduces Postoperative Pain in Rats and has Opioid-Sparing Effects. THE JOURNAL OF PAIN 2023; 24:991-1008. [PMID: 36706889 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpain.2023.01.013] [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: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Despite the available knowledge on underlying mechanisms and the development of several therapeutic strategies, optimal management of postoperative pain remains challenging. This preclinical study hypothesizes that, by promoting an anti-inflammatory scenario, pre-emptive administration of IMT504, a noncoding, non-CpG oligodeoxynucleotide with immune modulating properties, will reduce postincisional pain, also facilitating therapeutic opioid-sparing. Male adult Sprague-Dawley rats with unilateral hindpaw skin-muscle incision received pre-emptive (48 and 24 hours prior to surgery) or postoperative (6 hours after surgery) subcutaneous vehicle (saline) or IMT504. Various groups of rats were prepared for pain-like behavior analyses, including subgroups receiving morphine or naloxone, as well as for flow-cytometry or quantitative RT-PCR analyses of the spleen and hindpaws (for analysis of inflammatory phenotype). Compared to vehicle-treated rats, pre-emptive IMT504 significantly reduced mechanical allodynia by 6 hours after surgery, and accelerated recovery of basal responses from 72 hours after surgery and onwards. Cold allodynia was also reduced by IMT504. Postoperative administration of IMT504 resulted in similar positive effects on pain-like behavior. In IMT504-treated rats, 3 mg/kg morphine resulted in comparable blockade of mechanical allodynia as observed in vehicle-treated rats receiving 10 mg/kg morphine. IMT504 significantly increased hindpaw infiltration of mesenchymal stem cells, CD4+T and B cells, and caused upregulated or downregulated transcript expressions of interleukin-10 and interleukin-1β, respectively. Also, IMT504 treatment targeted the spleen, with upregulated or downregulated transcript expressions, 6 hours after incision, of interleukin-10 and interleukin-1β, respectively. Altogether, pre-emptive or postoperative IMT504 provides protection against postincisional pain, through participation of significant immunomodulatory actions, and exhibiting opioid-sparing effects. PERSPECTIVE: This preclinical study introduces the noncoding non-CpG oligodeoxynucleotide IMT504 as a novel modulator of postoperative pain and underlying inflammatory events. The opioid-sparing effects observed for IMT504 appear as a key feature that could contribute, in the future, to reducing opioid-related adverse events in patients undergoing surgical intervention.

Abstract
Bioceramic scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering suffer from a low concentration of ceramic particles (<50 wt%), because the high concentration of ceramic particles increases the brittleness of the composite. 3D printed flexible PCL/HA scaffolds with high ceramic particle concentrations (84 wt%) were successfully fabricated in this study. However, the hydrophobicity of PCL weakens the composite scaffold hydrophilicity, which may limit the osteogenic ability to some extent. Thus, as a less time-consuming, less labour intensive, and more cost-effective treatment method, alkali treatment (AT) was employed to modify the surface hydrophilicity of the PCL/HA scaffold, and its regulation of immune responses and bone regeneration were investigated in vivo and in vitro. Initially, several concentrations of NaOH (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 5 mol L-1) were employed in tests to determine the appropriate concentration for AT. Based on the comprehensive consideration of the results of mechanical experiments and hydrophilicity, 2 mol L-1 and 2.5 mol L-1 of NaOH were selected for further investigation in this study. The PCL/HA-AT-2 scaffold dramatically reduced foreign body reactions as compared to the PCL/HA and PCL/HA-AT-2.5 scaffolds, promoted macrophage polarization towards the M2 phenotype and enhanced new bone formation. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway might participate in the signal transduction underlying hydrophilic surface-modified 3D printed scaffold-regulated osteogenesis, according to the results of immunohistochemical staining. In conclusion, hydrophilic surface-modified 3D printed flexible scaffolds with high ceramic particle concentrations can regulate the immune reactions and macrophage polarization to promote bone regeneration, and the PCL/HA-AT-2 scaffold is a potential candidate for bone tissue repair.

Abstract
Bones are important for maintaining motor function and providing support for internal organs. Bone diseases can impose a heavy burden on individuals and society. Although bone has a certain ability to repair itself, it is often difficult to repair itself alone when faced with critical-sized defects, such as severe trauma, surgery, or tumors. There is still a heavy reliance on metal implants and autologous or allogeneic bone grafts for bone defects that are difficult to self-heal. However, these grafts still have problems that are difficult to circumvent, such as metal implants that may require secondary surgical removal, lack of bone graft donors, and immune rejection. The rapid advance in tissue engineering and a better comprehension of the physiological mechanisms of bone regeneration have led to a new focus on promoting endogenous bone self-regeneration through the use of biomaterials as the medium. Although bone regeneration involves a variety of cells and signaling factors, and these complex signaling pathways and mechanisms of interaction have not been fully understood, macrophages undoubtedly play an essential role in bone regeneration. This review summarizes the design strategies that need to be considered for biomaterials to regulate macrophage function in bone regeneration. Subsequently, this review provides an overview of therapeutic strategies for biomaterials to intervene in all stages of bone regeneration by regulating macrophages.

Abstract
The increasing recognition of the contribution of the immune system to activate and prime regeneration implies that tissue engineering strategies and biomaterials design should target regulation of early immunological processes. We previously proposed the cell-based engineering and devitalization of extracellular matrices (ECMs) as a strategy to generate implant materials delivering custom-defined signals. Here, in the context of bone regeneration, we aimed at enhancing the osteoinductivity of such ECMs by enriching their immunomodulatory factors repertoire. Priming with IL1β a cell line overexpressing BMP-2 enabled engineering of ECMs preserving osteoinductive signals and containing larger amounts of angiogenic (VEGF) and pro-inflammatory molecules (IL6, IL8 and MCP1). Upon implantation, these IL1β-induced materials enhanced processes typical of the inflammatory phase (e.g., vascular invasion, osteoclast recruitment and differentiation), leading to 'regenerative' events (e.g., M2 macrophage polarization) and ultimately resulting in faster and more efficient bone formation. These results bear relevance towards the manufacturing of potent off-the-shelf osteoinductive materials and outline the broader paradigm of engineering immunoinstructive implants to enhance tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Neutrophils accumulate at the epineurium in Wallerian degeneration (WD) and inhibit macrophage infiltration from the epineurium into the parenchyma by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps, resulting in the delay of repair processes in WD. Although inflammation is indispensable for the repair process in Wallerian degeneration (WD), the role of neutrophils in the WD repair process remains unclear. After peripheral nerve injury, neutrophils accumulate at the epineurium but not the parenchyma in the WD region because of the blood–nerve barrier. An increase or decrease in the number of neutrophils delayed or promoted macrophage infiltration from the epineurium into the parenchyma and the repair process in WD. Abundant neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were formed around neutrophils, and its inhibition dramatically increased macrophage infiltration into the parenchyma. Furthermore, inhibition of either MIF or its receptor, CXCR4, in neutrophils decreased NET formation, resulting in enhanced macrophage infiltration into the parenchyma. Moreover, inhibiting MIF for just 2 h after peripheral nerve injury promoted the repair process. These findings indicate that neutrophils delay the repair process in WD from outside the parenchyma by inhibiting macrophage infiltration via NET formation and that neutrophils, NETs, MIF, and CXCR4 are therapeutic targets for peripheral nerve regeneration.

Abstract
Background All fracture repairs start with the innate immune system with the inflammatory response known as the inflammatory stage guided and driven by the secretion of chemokine by the ruptured tissue, followed by the sequential recruitment of neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages. These innate immune cells would infiltrate the fracture site and secrete inflammatory cytokines to stimulate recruitment of more immune cells to arrive at the fracture site coordinating subsequent stages of the repair process. In which, subsidence of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage and transformation to anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages promotes osteogenesis that marks the start of the anabolic endochondral stage. Methods Literature search was performed on Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases (last accessed 15th April 2021) using “macrophage AND fracture”. Review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. Results Eleven pre-clinical animal studies out of 429 articles were included in this systematic review according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria. All of which investigated interventions targeting to modulate the acute inflammatory response and macrophage polarization as evident by various markers in association with fracture healing outcomes. Conclusion This systematic review summarizes attempts to modulate the innate immune response with focuses on promoting macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype targeting the enhancement of fracture injury repair. Methods used to achieve the goal may include applications of damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP), pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) or mechanical stimulation that hold high translational potentials for clinical application in the near future.

Abstract
Tissue engineering strategies for treating bone loss to date have largely focused on targeting stem cells or vascularization. Immune cells, including macrophages and T cells, can also indirectly enhance bone healing via cytokine secretion to interact with other bone niche cells. Bone niche cues and local immune environment vary depending on anatomical location, size of defects and disease types. As such, it is critical to evaluate the role of the immune system in the context of specific bone niche and different disease types. This review focuses on immunomodulation research for bone applications using biomaterials and cell-based strategies, with a unique perspective from different disease types. We first reviewed applications for prolonging orthopaedic implant lifetime and enhancing fracture healing, two clinical challenges where immunomodulatory strategies were initially developed for orthopedic applications. We then reviewed recent research progress in harnessing immunomodulatory strategies for regenerating critical-sized, long bone or cranial bone defects, and treating osteolytic bone diseases. Remaining gaps in knowledge, future directions and opportunities were also discussed.

Lef1 ablation alleviates cartilage mineralization following posttraumatic osteoarthritis induction. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2116855119.

Abstract
Cartilage mineralization is imperative in various processes such as skeletal growth and fracture repair. However, this process may also be pathological, as in the case of the degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis (OA). Using a posttraumatic OA model (PTOA), we find that cartilage-specific Sirt1 genetic nulls caused severe synovitis and mineralization of the lateral joint compartment, due to augmented Lef1 gene expression. Conversely, cartilage-specific Lef1 nulls exhibited impaired synovitis and mineralization of the lateral joint, accompanied by a reduction of local pain. Consistently, transcriptomic profiles of Lef1-ablated chondrocytes exhibited enhanced anabolism, yet impaired pathways related to calcification and inflammation. Accordingly, cartilage mineralization of the lateral joint compartment relies on amplified inflammatory pathways, contributing to articular damage following PTOA. Cartilage mineralization is a tightly controlled process, imperative for skeletal growth and fracture repair. However, in osteoarthritis (OA), cartilage mineralization may impact the joint range of motion, inflict pain, and increase chances for joint effusion. Here we attempt to understand the link between inflammation and cartilage mineralization by targeting Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1), both reported to have contrasting effects on cartilage. We find that inflammatory-dependent cleavage of SIRT1 or its cartilage-specific genetic ablation, directly enhanced LEF1 expression accompanied by a catabolic response. Applying a posttraumatic OA (PTOA) model to cartilage-specific Sirt1 nulls displayed severe OA, which was accompanied by synovitis, meniscal mineralization, and osteophyte formation of the lateral joint compartment. Alternatively, cartilage-specific Lef1 nulls presented reduced lateral mineralization, OA severity, and local pain. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that Lef1 ablation reduced nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and Toll-like receptor (Tlr) pathways, while enhancing SRY-Box transcription factor 9 (Sox9) and cartilaginous extracellular matrix genes. The results support a link between inflammation and Lef1-dependent cartilage mineralization, mediated by the inactivation of Sirt1. By ablating Lef1 in a PTOA model, the structural and pain-related phenotypes of OA were reduced, in part, by preventing cartilage mineralization of the lateral joint compartment, partially manifested by meniscal tissue mineralization. Overall, these data provide a molecular axis to link between inflammation and cartilage in a PTOA model.

Abstract
Myeloid-derived monocyte and macrophages are key cells in the bone that contribute to remodeling and injury repair. However, their temporal polarization status and control of bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts responses is largely unknown. In this study, we focused on two aspects of monocyte/macrophage dynamics and polarization states over time: 1) the injury-triggered pro- and anti-inflammatory monocytes/macrophages temporal profiles, 2) the contributions of pro- versus anti-inflammatory monocytes/macrophages in coordinating healing response. Bone healing is a complex multicellular dynamic process. While traditional in vitro and in vivo experimentation may capture the behavior of select populations with high resolution, they cannot simultaneously track the behavior of multiple populations. To address this, we have used an integrated coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs)-based framework describing multiple cellular species to in vivo bone injury data in order to identify and test various hypotheses regarding bone cell populations dynamics. Our approach allowed us to infer several biological insights including, but not limited to,: 1) anti-inflammatory macrophages are key for early osteoclast inhibition and pro-inflammatory macrophage suppression, 2) pro-inflammatory macrophages are involved in osteoclast bone resorptive activity, whereas osteoblasts promote osteoclast differentiation, 3) Pro-inflammatory monocytes/macrophages rise during two expansion waves, which can be explained by the anti-inflammatory macrophages-mediated inhibition phase between the two waves. In addition, we further tested the robustness of the mathematical model by comparing simulation results to an independent experimental dataset. Taken together, this novel comprehensive mathematical framework allowed us to identify biological mechanisms that best recapitulate bone injury data and that explain the coupled cellular population dynamics involved in the process. Furthermore, our hypothesis testing methodology could be used in other contexts to decipher mechanisms in complex multicellular processes.

Abstract
Among the bones of the whole body, the jawbone is considered the region where remodeling takes place the most actively. In this region, the homeostasis of the bones is maintained by the balanced activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The bone immune microenvironment can simultaneously regulate osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Compared with other bones, the jawbone is more susceptible to pathogens because it is exposed to the bacteria in the oral environment. In the case of inflammatory pathology, an over-activated immune system stimulates the activation of osteoclasts and inhibits osteoblasts. In this review, we summarized the different characteristics of the bone immune microenvironment of the jawbone compared with other bones, and the role of immune microenvironment regulation in common jawbone diseases. The development of corresponding therapeutic strategies for jawbone immune regulation targets may be helpful for the treatment of jawbone inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, we used a canine high-energy fracture model to examine the relationship between the early inflammatory reaction in adjacent tissues and the ability for osteophyte growth, aiming to identify causes that lead to atrophic nonunion inflammatory disease and to provide new strategies for prevention and treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight models of canine femoral high energy fractures were prepared and randomly divided into groups A and B (n=24 in each group). Dogs in both groups underwent open reduction and 6-hole plate internal fixation. Group A models were re-opened, and muscle near the bone was scraped at 14 d after the operation. On days 3, 17, 28, and 42 after fracture, 6 experimental dogs were euthanized per group, and the fracture specimens were used to examine pathologic changes and the growth of callus in the fractured end and its adjacent tissues. RESULTS At day 14, neutrophil infiltration, with no macrophage recruitment, no mesenchymal cell proliferation, and no fracture healing cascade were observed in the adjacent tissues of both groups. Immediately after the second injury was performed in group A, many macrophages were seen, and mesenchymal cells proliferated, which initiated vigorous osteophyte growth and led to osteophyte healing. Atrophic nonunion was observed in group B without secondary injury. CONCLUSION Macrophage recruitment deficiency in adjacent soft tissue in early surgery for high-energy fractures may be an important cause of atrophic nonunion. Secondary injury inflammation can effectively recruit mononuclear macrophages, generate osteoclasts, re-initiate the growth of osteophytes, and promote fracture healing.

Abstract
During mechanical force-induced alveolar bone remodeling, macrophage-mediated local inflammation plays a critical role. Yet, the detailed heterogeneity of macrophages is still unknown. Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to study the transcriptome heterogeneity of macrophages during alveolar bone remodeling. We identified macrophage subclusters with specific gene expression profiles and functions. CellChat and trajectory analysis revealed a central role of the Ccr2 cluster during development, with the CCL signaling pathway playing a crucial role. We further demonstrated that the Ccr2 cluster modulated bone remodeling associated inflammation through an NF-κB dependent pathway. Blocking CCR2 could significantly reduce the Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) progression. In addition, we confirmed the variation of CCR2+ macrophages in human periodontal tissues. Our findings reveal that mechanical force-induced functional shift of the Ccr2 macrophages cluster mediated by NF-κB pathway, leading to a pro-inflammatory response and bone remodeling. This macrophage cluster may represent a potential target for the manipulation of OTM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Inflammatory response plays a crucial role in the early stage of fracture healing. Immediately after fracture, the debris and immune cells (e.g., macrophages), recruited into the fracture callus, lead to the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), which governs the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) mediated healing processes. However, it is still unclear how chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., diabetes) affect the level of TNF-α in fracture callus, ultimately the healing outcomes at the early stage of healing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a numerical model for investigating TNF-α mediated bone fracture healing. METHODS A mathematical model consisting of a system of partial differential equations that represent the reactive transport of cells and cytokines in the fracture callus is developed in this study. The model is first calibrated by using available experimental data and then implemented to study the effect of TNF-α on the early stage of fracture healing under normal and diabetic conditions. RESULTS There is a significant elevation of TNF-α level in facture callus during the first 24 h post-fracture in normal condition, and its influence in the concentration of MSCs and cell differentiation becomes significant three days post-fracture (e.g., the absence of TNF-α signaling could reduce the concentration of MSCs more than 20% in cortical callus). In addition, the excessive secretion of TNF-α induced by diabetes could decrease the concentration of MSCs at the initial stage of healing, particularly reduce the concentration of MSCs in cortical callus by around 25%. CONCLUSION The model predictions suggested that there should be an optimal concentration of TNF-α in fracture callus, which enhances the early stage of healing, and excessive or insufficient secretion of TNF-α might significantly hinder the healing process.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a bone metabolic disorder characterized by decreased bone density and deteriorated microstructure, which increases the risk of fractures. The imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption results in the occurrence and progression of osteoporosis. Osteoblast-mediated bone formation, osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and macrophage-regulated inflammatory response play a central role in the process of bone remodeling, which together maintain the balance of the osteoblast-osteoclast-macrophage (OB-OC-MΦ) axis under physiological conditions. Bone formation and bone resorption disorders caused by the imbalance of OB-OC-MΦ axis contribute to osteoporosis. Many microRNAs are involved in the regulation of OB-OC-MΦ axis homeostasis, with microRNA-23a (miR-23a) being particularly crucial. MiR-23a is highly expressed in the pathological process of osteoporosis, which eventually leads to the occurrence and further progression of osteoporosis by inhibiting osteogenesis, promoting bone resorption and inflammatory polarization of macrophages. This review focuses on the role and mechanism of miR-23a in regulating the OB-OC-MΦ axis to provide new clinical strategies for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of IL-18 in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Methods: To assess whether IL-18 affects the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs through the c-MYC/SLC7A5 axis, IL-18 dose-response and time-course experiments were performed to evaluate its impact on osteogenic differentiation. To confirm osteogenic differentiation, alizarin red staining calcium measurement were performed. RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to determine the expression levels of bone-specific markers ALP, RUNX2, and BMP2, as well as those of SLC7A5 and c-MYC. Furthermore, SLC7A5 and c-MYC expression was evaluated via immunofluorescence. To elucidate the roles of SLC7A5 and c-MYC in osteoblast differentiation, cells were transfected with SLC7A5 or c-MYC siRNAs, or treated with the SLC7A5-specific inhibitor JPH203 and c-MYC-specific inhibitor 10058-F4, and the expression of SLC7A5, c-MYC, and bone-specific markers ALP, RUNX2, and BMP2 was assessed. Results: Our results demonstrated that IL-18 increased calcium deposition in hBMSCs, and upregulated the expression of SLC7A5, c-MYC, ALP, RUNX2, and BMP2. Silencing of SLC7A5 or c-MYC using siRNA reduced the expression of ALP, RUNX2, and BMP2, while IL-18 treatment partially reversed the inhibitory effect of siRNA. Similar results were obtained by treating hBMSCs with SLC7A5 and c-MYC specific inhibitors, leading to significant reduction of the osteogenesis effect of IL-18 on hBMSCs. Conclusion: In conclusion, our results indicate that IL-18 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs via the SLC7A5/c-MYC pathway and, therefore, may play an important role in fracture healing. These findings will provide new treatment strategies for delayed fracture healing after splenectomy.

Abstract
In vertebrates, bone is considered an osteoimmune system which encompasses functions of a locomotive organ, a mineral reservoir, a hormonal organ, a stem cell pool and a cradle for immune cells. This osteoimmune system is based on cooperatively acting bone and immune cells, cohabitating within the bone marrow. They are highly interdependent, a fact that is confounded by shared progenitors, mediators, and signaling pathways. Successful fracture healing requires the participation of all the precursors, immune and bone cells found in the osteoimmune system. Recent evidence demonstrated that changes of the immune cell composition and function may negatively influence bone healing. In this review, first the interplay between different immune cell types and osteoprogenitor cells will be elaborated more closely. The separate paragraphs focus on the specific cell types, starting with the cells of the innate immune response followed by cells of the adaptive immune response, and the complement system as mediator between them. Finally, a brief overview on the challenges of preclinical testing of immune-based therapeutic strategies to support fracture healing will be given.

Abstract
Although in vitro studies have shown that biomaterials and mechanical stimuli can mediate inflammatory responses or regulate osteogenesis of MSCs, the underlying behaviour of the inflammatory response of macrophages on biomaterials mediated by mechanical stimuli, which regulates osteogenesis, is relatively unknown. Thus, it is imperative to explore the role of bionic mechanical stimulation in the biomaterial-mediated inflammatory response of macrophages. In this study, we used osteoinductive biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics as the model biomaterial and chose micro-vibration stimulation (MVs) with three variable parameters (frequency, magnitude, and time). Based on orthogonal experiments, nine combinations of MVs parameters were generated, and their effects on the BCP-mediated macrophage inflammatory response were investigated. MVs significantly affected the gene expression and cytokine secretion of macrophages grown on BCP ceramics and further influenced the behaviour of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) in a paracrine manner. Moreover, frequency seemed to be the most dominant factor (compared with magnitude and time) in regulating the inflammatory response of macrophages. The optimal combination of MVs parameters (frequency 10 Hz, magnitude 0.45 g, and time 60 min) could induce a healing-associated M2 phenotype, as evidenced by the downregulated pro-inflammatory gene (Il-1β, and Tnf-α) expression, the upregulated anti-inflammatory gene (Il10) expression, and the inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokine (Il-1β and Tnf-α) secretion of macrophages grown on BCP ceramics, and its conditioned medium (CM) could further promote osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanical stimulus-mediated macrophage inflammatory response and osteogenesis in the presence of osteoinductive BCP ceramics and allow accurate evaluation of the biological performance of biomaterials in vitro, in order to optimize bone substitute materials to achieve the desired clinical performance.

Abstract
Healing of large bone defects remains a challenge in reconstructive surgery, especially with impaired healing potential due to severe trauma, infection or irradiation. In vivo studies are often performed in healthy animals, which might not accurately reflect the situation in clinical cases. In the present study, we successfully combined a critical-sized femoral defect model with an ionizing radiation protocol in rats. To support bone healing, tissue-engineered constructs were transferred into the defect after ectopic preossification and prevascularization. The combination of SiHA, MSCs and BMP-2 resulted in the significant ectopic formation of bone tissue, which can easily be transferred by means of our custom-made titanium chamber. Implanted osteogenic MSCs survived in vivo for a total of 18 weeks. The use of SiHA alone did not lead to bone formation after ectopic implantation. Analysis of gene expression showed early osteoblast differentiation and a hypoxic and inflammatory environment in implanted constructs. Irradiation led to impaired bone healing, decreased vascularization and lower short-term survival of implanted cells. We conclude that our model is highly valuable for the investigation of bone healing and tissue engineering in pre-damaged tissue and that healing of bone defects can be substantially supported by combining SiHA, MSCs and BMP-2.

Computational modeling reveals a key role for polarized myeloid cells in controlling osteoclast activity during bone injury repair. Sci Rep 2021; 11:6055.

Abstract
Bone-forming osteoblasts and -resorbing osteoclasts control bone injury repair, and myeloid-derived cells such as monocytes and macrophages are known to influence their behavior. However, precisely how these multiple cell types coordinate and regulate each other over time within the bone marrow to restore bone is difficult to dissect using biological approaches. Conversely, mathematical modeling lends itself well to this challenge. Therefore, we generated an ordinary differential equation (ODE) model powered by experimental data (osteoblast, osteoclast, bone volume, pro- and anti-inflammatory myeloid cells) obtained from intra-tibially injured mice. Initial ODE results using only osteoblast/osteoclast populations demonstrated that bone homeostasis could not be recovered after injury, but this issue was resolved upon integration of pro- and anti-inflammatory myeloid population dynamics. Surprisingly, the ODE revealed temporal disconnects between the peak of total bone mineralization/resorption, and osteoblast/osteoclast numbers. Specifically, the model indicated that osteoclast activity must vary greatly (> 17-fold) to return the bone volume to baseline after injury and suggest that osteoblast/osteoclast number alone is insufficient to predict bone the trajectory of bone repair. Importantly, the values of osteoclast activity fall within those published previously. These data underscore the value of mathematical modeling approaches to understand and reveal new insights into complex biological processes.

Abstract
A curious feature of axial disease in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and related non-radiographic axial spondyloarthropathy (nrAxSpA) is that spinal inflammation may ultimately be associated with excessive entheseal tissue repair with new bone formation. Other SpA associated target tissues including the gut and the skin have well established paradigms on how local tissue immune responses and proven disease relevant cytokines including TNF and the IL-23/17 axis contribute to tissue repair. Normal skeletal homeostasis including the highly mechanically stressed entheseal sites is subject to tissue microdamage, micro-inflammation and ultimately repair. Like the skin and gut, healthy enthesis has resident immune cells including ILCs, γδ T cells, conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and myeloid lineage cells capable of cytokine induction involving prostaglandins, growth factors and cytokines including TNF and IL-17 that regulate these responses. We discuss how human genetic studies, animal models and translational human immunology around TNF and IL-17 suggest a largely redundant role for these pathways in physiological tissue repair and homeostasis. However, disease associated immune system overactivity of these cytokines with loss of tissue repair “fine tuning” is eventually associated with exuberant tissue repair responses in AS. Conversely, excessive biomechanical stress at spinal enthesis or peripheral enthesis with mechanically related or degenerative conditions is associated with a normal immune system attempts at cytokine fine tuning, but in this setting, it is commensurate to sustained abnormal biomechanical stressing. Unlike SpA, where restoration of aberrant and excessive cytokine “fine tuning” is efficacious, antagonism of these pathways in biomechanically related disease may be of limited or even no value.

Abstract
A coordinated interaction between osteogenesis and osteoimmune microenvironment is essential for successful bone healing. In particular, macrophages play a central regulatory role in all stages of bone repair. Depending on the signals they sense, these highly plastic cells can mediate the host immune response against the exterior signals of molecular stimuli and implanted scaffolds, to exert regenerative potency to a varying extent. In this article, we first encapsulate the immunomodulatory functions of macrophages during bone regeneration into three aspects, as sweeper, mediator and instructor. We introduce the phagocytic role of macrophages in different bone healing periods ('sweeper') and overview a variety of paracrine cytokines released by macrophages either mediating cell mobilisation, vascularisation and matrix remodelling ('mediator'), or directly driving the osteogenic differentiation of bone progenitors and bone repair ('instructor'). Then, we systematically classify and discuss the emerging engineering strategies to recruit, activate and modulate the phenotype transition of macrophages, to exploit the power of endogenous macrophages to enhance the performance of engineered bone tissue.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration driven by immunomodulatory agents has emerged as a potential solution for repairing bone defects. However, the therapeutic benefits are compromised by disturbances in the pro- and anti-inflammatory balance. Here, using magnesium nanoparticles (MgNPs) as a template, magnesium-enriched graphene oxide nanoscrolls (MgNPs@GNSs) designed for combinational modulation of the inflammatory response are reported. First, the different effects of graphene oxide (GO) and magnesium ions (Mg2+ ) on Raw264.7 macrophage phenotype transformation are screened. The results reveal that GO activates inflammatory M1 macrophages, and that Mg2+ facilitates repolarization of M1 macrophages to the pro-healing M2 phenotype. With sustained release of Mg2+ , the MgNPs@GNS nanoplatform can orchestrate harmonious type 1 and type 2 inflammatory responses. Mg2+ decrease the internalization of GO and downregulate the nuclear factor kappa-B pathway, which is profoundly involved in the inflammatory process. A series of experiments show that the ordered inflammatory response induced by MgNPs@GNSs stimulates in vitro angiogenesis and osteogenesis through chemotactic, mitogenic, and morphogenic actions. Obvious vascularized bone regeneration is achieved in a rat cranial bone defect model via MgNPs@GNS deposited decellularized bone matrix scaffold. Therefore, the potential of using inherently therapeutic nanomedicine to modulate biomaterial-induced immune responses and thus enhance bone regeneration is demonstrated.

Abstract
The actin-bundling protein L-plastin (LPL) mediates the resorption activity of osteoclasts, but its therapeutic potential in pathological bone loss remains unexplored. Here, we report that LPL knockout mice show increased bone mass and cortical thickness with more mononuclear tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells, osteoblasts, CD31hiEmcnhi endothelial vessels, and fewer multinuclear osteoclasts in the bone marrow and periosteum. LPL deletion impeded preosteoclasts fusion by inhibiting filopodia formation and increased the number of preosteoclasts, which release platelet-derived growth factor-BB to promote CD31hiEmcnhi vessel growth and bone formation. LPL expression is regulated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT/specific protein 1 axis in response to receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand. Furthermore, we identified an LPL inhibitor, oroxylin A, that could maintain bone mass in ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis and accelerate bone fracture healing in mice. In conclusion, we showed that LPL regulates osteoclasts fusion, and targeting LPL serves as a novel anabolic therapy for pathological bone loss.

In vitro, the alteration of macrophage polarization and cytokine secretion induced by BMP2-CPC or CPC was investigated. The influence of conditioned medium derived from BMP2-CPC- or CPC-stimulated macrophages on the migration and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs were evaluated. The in vivo relationship between macrophage polarization and osteogenesis was examined in a rabbit calvarial defect model. The in vitro results indicated that BMP2-CPC and CPC induced different patterns of macrophage polarization and subsequently resulted in distinct patterns of cytokine expression and secretion. Conditioned medium derived from BMP2-CPC- or CPC-stimulated macrophages both exhibited apparent osteogenic effect on MSCs. Notably, BMP2-CPC induced more M2-phenotype polarization and higher expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors than did CPC, which led to the better osteogenic effect of conditioned medium derived from BMP2-CPC-stimulated macrophages. The rabbit calvarial defect model further confirmed that BMP2-CPC facilitated more bone regeneration than CPC did by enhancing M2-phenotype polarization in local macrophages and then alleviating inflammatory reaction. In conclusion, this study revealed that the favorable immunoregulatory property of BMP2-CPC contributed to the strong osteogenic capability of BMP2-CPC by modulating macrophage polarization.

Chen P, Yang B, Wu Y, Wang J. YAP1 regulates chondrogenic differentiation of ATDC5 promoted by temporary TNF-α stimulation through AMPK signaling pathway. Mol Cell Biochem 2020; 474:209-218.

Abstract
Local injection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) at bone fracture sites during the early stage of the inflammatory response is reported to improve fracture repair in a murine model. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. Endochondral bone formation, a process that is highly related to fracture repair, requires a certain amount of chondrocyte hypertrophy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of TNF-α on the differentiation of murine chondrogenic ATDC5 cells and the underlying mechanism. In this study, improved chondrogenic differentiation of ATDC5 cells was achieved by brief TNF-α stimulation. Moreover, the expression of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) was suppressed after brief TNF-α stimulation. The expressions of inflammatory mediators and chondrogenic and hypertrophic-associated genes in ATDC5 cells triggered by TNF-α were suppressed in the YAP1 overexpression group but enhanced in the YAP1 knockdown group. Mechanistically, TNF-α-induced activation of the 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway was regulated by YAP1, as revealed by the phosphorylated-AMPK/AMPK change ratios in the YAP1 overexpression and knockdown groups, respectively. Moreover, the potential for TNF-α to enhance chondrogenic differentiation could be partially reversed with an AMPK inhibitor. Taken together, we demonstrate, for the first time, that YAP1 modulates the ability of TNF-α to enhance chondrocyte differentiation partly through AMPK signaling.

Abstract
A balanced inflammatory response is important for successful fracture healing. The response of osteoporotic fracture healing is deranged and an altered inflammatory response can be one underlying cause. The objectives of this review were to compare the inflammatory responses between normal and osteoporotic fractures and to examine the potential effects on different healing outcomes. A systematic literature search was conducted with relevant keywords in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science independently. Original preclinical studies and clinical studies involving the investigation of inflammatory response in fracture healing in ovariectomized (OVX) animals or osteoporotic/elderly patients with available full text and written in English were included. In total, 14 articles were selected. Various inflammatory factors were reported; of those tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 are two commonly studied markers. Preclinical studies showed that OVX animals generally demonstrated higher systemic inflammatory response and poorer healing outcomes compared to normal controls (SHAM). However, it is inconclusive if the local inflammatory response is higher or lower in OVX animals. As for clinical studies, they mainly examine the temporal changes of the inflammatory stage or perform comparison between osteoporotic/fragility fracture patients and normal subjects without fracture. Our review of these studies emphasizes the lack of understanding that inflammation plays in the altered fracture healing response of osteoporotic/elderly patients. Taken together, it is clear that additional studies, preclinical and clinical, are required to dissect the regulatory role of inflammatory response in osteoporotic fracture healing.

Blocking Kv1.3 potassium channels prevents postoperative neuroinflammation and cognitive decline without impairing wound healing in mice. Br J Anaesth 2020; 125:298-307. [PMID: 32624183 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2020.05.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive decline (PCD) requires microglial activation. Voltage-gated Kv1.3 potassium channels are involved in microglial activation. We determined the role of Kv1.3 in PCD and the efficacy and safety of inhibiting Kv1.3 with phenoxyalkoxypsoralen-1 (PAP-1) in preventing PCD in a mouse model. METHODS After institutional approval, we assessed whether Kv1.3-deficient mice (Kv1.3-/-) exhibited PCD, evidenced by tibial-fracture surgery-induced decline in aversive freezing behaviour, and whether PAP-1 could prevent PCD and postoperative neuroinflammation in PCD-vulnerable diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. We also evaluated whether PAP-1 altered either postoperative peripheral inflammation or tibial-fracture healing. RESULTS Freezing behaviour was unaltered in postoperative Kv1.3-/- mice. In DIO mice, PAP-1 prevented postoperative (i) attenuation of freezing behaviour (54 [17.3]% vs 33.4 [12.7]%; P=0.03), (ii) hippocampal microglial activation by size (130 [31] pixels vs 249 [49]; P<0.001) and fluorescence intensity (12 000 [2260] vs 20 800 [5080] absorbance units; P<0.001), and (iii) hippocampal upregulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) (14.9 [5.7] vs 25.6 [10.4] pg mg-1; P=0.011). Phenoxyalkoxypsoralen-1 neither affected surgery-induced upregulation of plasma IL-6 nor cartilage and bone components of the surgical fracture callus. CONCLUSIONS Microglial-mediated PCD requires Kv1.3 activity, determined by genetic and pharmacological targeting approaches. Phenoxyalkoxypsoralen-1 blockade of Kv1.3 prevented surgery-induced hippocampal microglial activation and neuroinflammation in mice known to be vulnerable to PCD. Regarding perioperative safety, these beneficial effects of PAP-1 treatment occurred without impacting fracture healing. Kv1.3 blockers, currently undergoing clinical trials for other conditions, may represent an effective and safe intervention to prevent PCD.

Influence of inflammatory conditions provided by macrophages on osteogenic ability of mesenchymal stem cells. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:57. [PMID: 32054534 PMCID: PMC7020593 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-1578-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2019] [Revised: 12/04/2019] [Accepted: 02/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms by which macrophage phenotype contributes to mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)-mediated bone repair remain unclear. In this work, we investigated the influence of factors released by human macrophages polarized to a pro-inflammatory or an anti-inflammatory phenotype on the ability of human MSC to attach, migrate, and differentiate toward the osteoblastic lineage. We focused on the role of TNF-α and IL-10, key pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, respectively, in regulating MSC functions. METHODS MSC were treated with media conditioned by pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory macrophages to study their influence in cell attachment, migration, and osteogenic differentiation. The involvement of TNF-α and IL-10 in the regulation of MSC functions was investigated using neutralizing antibodies and recombinant cytokines. RESULTS Treatment of MSC with media conditioned by pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory macrophages promoted cell elongation and enhanced MSC ability to attach and migrate. These effects were more noticeable when MSC were treated with media from pro-inflammatory macrophages. Interestingly, MSC osteogenic activity was enhanced by factors released by anti-inflammatory macrophages, but not by pro-inflammatory macrophages. Significant IL-10 levels originated from anti-inflammatory macrophages enhanced MSC osteogenesis by increasing ALP activity and mineralization in MSC layers cultured under osteogenic conditions. Moreover, macrophage-derived IL-10 regulated the expression of the osteogenic markers RUNX2, COL1A1, and ALPL. Notably, low TNF-α levels secreted by anti-inflammatory macrophages increased ALP activity in differentiating MSC whereas high TNF-α levels produced by pro-inflammatory macrophages had no effects on osteogenesis. Experiments in which MSC were treated with cytokines revealed that IL-10 was more effective in promoting matrix maturation and mineralization than TNF-α. CONCLUSIONS Factors secreted by pro-inflammatory macrophages substantially increased MSC attachment and migration whereas those released by anti-inflammatory macrophages enhanced MSC osteogenic activity as well as cell migration. IL-10 was identified as an important cytokine secreted by anti-inflammatory macrophages that potentiates MSC osteogenesis. Our findings provide novel insights into how environments provided by macrophages regulate MSC osteogenesis, which may be helpful to develop strategies to enhance bone regeneration.

Abstract
AIM Osteoimmunology covers the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for inflammatory osteolysis that culminates in the degradation of alveolar bone. Osteoimmunology also focuses on the interplay of immune cells with bone cells during bone remodelling and regeneration. The aim of this review was to provide insights into how osteoimmunology affects alveolar bone health and disease. METHOD This review is based on a narrative approach to assemble mouse models that provide insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms causing inflammatory osteolysis and on the impact of immune cells on alveolar bone regeneration. RESULTS Mouse models have revealed the molecular pathways by which microbial and other factors activate immune cells that initiate an inflammatory response. The inflammation-induced alveolar bone loss occurs with the concomitant suppression of bone formation. Mouse models also showed that immune cells contribute to the resolution of inflammation and bone regeneration, even though studies with a focus on alveolar socket healing are rare. CONCLUSIONS Considering that osteoimmunology is evolutionarily conserved, osteolysis removes the cause of inflammation by provoking tooth loss. The impact of immune cells on bone regeneration is presumably a way to reinitiate the developmental mechanisms of intramembranous and endochondral bone formation.

The broad spectrum mixed-lineage kinase 3 inhibitor URMC-099 prevents acute microgliosis and cognitive decline in a mouse model of perioperative neurocognitive disorders. J Neuroinflammation 2019; 16:193. [PMID: 31660984 PMCID: PMC6816182 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-019-1582-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 09/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with pre-existing neurodegenerative disease commonly experience fractures that require orthopedic surgery. Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND), including delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction, are serious complications that can result in increased 1-year mortality when superimposed on dementia. Importantly, there are no disease-modifying therapeutic options for PND. Our lab developed the "broad spectrum" mixed-lineage kinase 3 inhibitor URMC-099 to inhibit pathological innate immune responses that underlie neuroinflammation-associated cognitive dysfunction. Here, we test the hypothesis that URMC-099 can prevent surgery-induced neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment. METHODS Orthopedic surgery was performed by fracturing the tibia of the left hindlimb with intramedullary fixation under general anesthesia and analgesia. In a pilot experiment, 9-month-old mice were treated five times with URMC-099 (10 mg/kg, i.p.), spaced 12 h apart, with three doses prior to surgery and two doses following surgery. In this experiment, microgliosis was evaluated using unbiased stereology and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was assessed using immunoglobulin G (IgG) immunostaining. In follow-up experiments, 3-month-old mice were treated only three times with URMC-099 (10 mg/kg, i.p.), spaced 12 h apart, prior to orthopedic surgery. Two-photon scanning laser microscopy and CLARITY with light-sheet microscopy were used to define surgery-induced changes in microglial dynamics and morphology, respectively. Surgery-induced memory impairment was assessed using the "What-Where-When" and Memory Load Object Discrimination tasks. The acute peripheral immune response to surgery was assessed by cytokine/chemokine profiling and flow cytometry. Finally, long-term fracture healing was assessed in fracture callouses using micro-computerized tomography (microCT) and histomorphometry analyses. RESULTS Orthopedic surgery induced BBB disruption and microglial activation, but had no effect on microglial process motility. Surgically treated mice exhibited impaired object place and identity discrimination in the "What-Where-When" and Memory Load Object Discrimination tasks. Both URMC-099 dosing paradigms prevented the neuroinflammatory sequelae that accompanied orthopedic surgery. URMC-099 prophylaxis had no effect on the mobilization of the peripheral innate immune response and fracture healing. CONCLUSIONS These findings show that prophylactic URMC-099 treatment is sufficient to prevent surgery-induced microgliosis and cognitive impairment without affecting fracture healing. Together, these findings provide compelling evidence for the advancement of URMC-099 as a therapeutic option for PND.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are known to have a strong impact on the immune system, metabolism, and bone homeostasis. While these functions have been long investigated separately in immunology, metabolism, or bone biology, the understanding of how GCs regulate the cellular cross-talk between innate immune cells, mesenchymal cells, and other stromal cells has been garnering attention rather recently. Here we review the recent findings of GC action in osteoporosis, inflammatory bone diseases (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), and bone regeneration during fracture healing. We focus on studies of pre-clinical animal models that enable dissecting the role of GC actions in innate immune cells, stromal cells, and bone cells using conditional and function-selective mutant mice of the GC receptor (GR), or mice with impaired GC signaling. Importantly, GCs do not only directly affect cellular functions, but also influence the cross-talk between mesenchymal and immune cells, contributing to both beneficial and adverse effects of GCs. Given the importance of endogenous GCs as stress hormones and the wide prescription of pharmaceutical GCs, an improved understanding of GC action is decisive for tackling inflammatory bone diseases, osteoporosis, and aging.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and strength, rendering people prone to osteoporotic fractures caused by low-energy forces. The primary treatment strategy for osteoporotic fractures is surgery; however, the compromised and comminuted bones in osteoporotic fracture sites are not conducive to optimum reduction and rigid fixation. In addition, these patients always exhibit accompanying aging-related disorders, including high inflammatory status, decreased mechanical loading and abnormal skeletal metabolism, which are disadvantages for fracture healing around sites that have undergone orthopedic procedures. Since the incidence of osteoporosis is expected to increase worldwide, orthopedic surgeons should pay more attention to comprehensive strategies for improving the poor prognosis of osteoporotic fractures. Herein, we highlight the molecular basis of osteoimmunology and bone mechanosensation in different healing phases of elderly osteoporotic fractures, guiding perioperative management to alleviate the unfavorable effects of insufficient mechanical loading, high inflammatory levels and pathogen infection. The well-informed pharmacologic and surgical intervention, including treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs and sufficient application of antibiotics, as well as bench-to-bedside strategies for bone augmentation and hardware selection, should be made according to a comprehensive understanding of bone biomechanical properties in addition to the remodeling status of osteoporotic bones, which is necessary for creating proper biological and mechanical environments for bone union and remodeling. Multidisciplinary collaboration will facilitate the improvement of overall osteoporotic care and reduction of secondary fracture incidence.

Abstract
Objective An experimental model of severe soft tissue damage was designed to simulate high-energy fracture and observe the fracture healing process following early surgery and surgery delayed by 1 week. Methods Forty dogs were randomized to Group A (immediate surgery) and B (delayed surgery). The femur was broken, and the two ends were forcefully stabbed to damage the surrounding soft tissues. The fracture was repaired using a custom six-hole steel plate. Four dogs were killed on day 3 and weeks 1, 2, 4, and 8 following bone fracture. Soft tissue and bone were examined by light and electron microscopy. Results In Group A, no callus was present at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks following fracture, resulting in atrophic nonunion. In Group B, visible weak external callus was present 1 week following fracture, and good external callus growth was present at 2, 4, and 8 weeks, leading to callus healing. Conclusion These findings suggest that the first week is critical for fracture healing. Absence of callus in the early stage is indicative of absence of callus growth throughout the entire healing process, while the presence of callus in the early stage is indicative of vigorous callus growth thereafter.

Abstract
Many inflammatory factors can affect cell behaviors and work as a form of inter-regulatory networks through the inflammatory pathway. Inflammatory cytokines are critical for triggering bone regeneration after fracture or bone injury. Also, inflammatory cytokines play an important role in cartilage repair. The synergistic or antagonistic effects of both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines have a great influence on fracture healing. This review discusses key inflammatory cytokines and signaling pathways involved in bone or cartilage repair.

Collagen I-based scaffolds negatively impact fracture healing in a mouse-osteotomy-model although used routinely in research and clinical application. Acta Biomater 2019; 86:171-184. [PMID: 30616076 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.12.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2018] [Revised: 12/20/2018] [Accepted: 12/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Although several biomaterials for bone regeneration have been developed in the last decades, clinical application of bone morphogenetic protein 2 is clinically only approved when applied on an absorbable bovine collagen I scaffold (ACS) (Helistat; ACS-H). In research, another ACS, namely Lyostypt (ACS-L) is frequently used as a scaffold in bone-linked studies. Nevertheless, until today, the influence of ACS alone on bone healing remains unknown. Unexpectedly, in vitro studies using ASC-H revealed a suppression of osteogenic differentiation and a significant reduction of cell vitality when compared to ASC-L. In mice, we observed a significant delay in bone healing when applying ACS-L in the fracture gap during femoral osteotomy. The results of our study show for the first time a negative influence of both ACS-H and ACS-L on bone formation demonstrating a substantial need for more sophisticated delivery systems for local stimulation of bone healing in both clinical application and research. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Our study provides evidence-based justification to promote the development and approval of more suitable and sophisticated delivery systems in bone healing research. Additionally, we stimulate researchers of the field to consider that the application of those scaffolds as a delivery system for new substances represents a delayed healing approach rather than a normal bone healing which could greatly impact the outcome of those studies and play a pivotal role in the translation to the clinics. Moreover, we provide impulses on underlying mechanism involving the roles of small-leucine rich proteoglycans (SLRP) for further detailed investigations.

Modeling the Macrophage-Mediated Inflammation Involved in the Bone Fracture Healing Process. MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL APPLICATIONS 2019.

Abstract
A new mathematical model is presented to study the effects of macrophages on the bone fracture healing process. The model consists of a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations that represents the interactions among classically and alternatively activated macrophages, mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. A qualitative analysis of the model is performed to determine the equilibria and their corresponding stability properties. Numerical simulations are also presented to support the theoretical results, and to monitor the evolution of a broken bone for different types of fractures under various medical interventions. The model can be used to guide clinical experiments and to explore possible medical treatments that accelerate the bone fracture healing process, either by surgical interventions or drug administrations.
