Osteoblast responsive biosilica-enriched gelatin microfibrillar microenvironments. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 161:213894. [PMID: 38796956 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213894] [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: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Engineering of scaffolds for bone regeneration is often inspired by the native extracellular matrix mimicking its composite fibrous structure. In the present study, we used low loadings of diatomite earth (DE) biosilica to improve the bone regeneration potential of gelatin electrospun fibrillar microenvironments. We explored the effect of increasing the DE content from 1 % to 3 % and 5 %, respectively, on the physico-chemical properties of the fibrous scaffolds denoted FG_DE1, FG_DE3, FG_DE5, regarding the aqueous media affinity, stability under simulated physiological conditions, morphology characteristics, and local mechanical properties at the surface. The presence of biosilica generated composite structures with lower swelling degrees and higher stiffness when compared to gelatin fibers. Increasing DE content led to higher Young modulus, while the stability of the protein matrix in PBS, at 37 °C, over 21 was significantly decreased by the presence of diatomite loadings. The best preosteoblast response was obtained for FG_DE3, with enhanced mineralization during the osteogenic differentiation when compared to the control sample without diatomite. 5 % DE in FG_DE5 proved to negatively influence cells' metabolic activity and morphology. Hence, the obtained composite microfibrillar scaffolds might find application as osteoblast-responsive materials for bone tissue engineering.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:130218. [PMID: 38367780 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130218] [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: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Hydrogels, integrating diverse biocompatible materials, have emerged as promising candidates for bone repair applications. This study presents a double network hydrogel designed for bone tissue engineering, combining poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and chitosan (CS) crosslinked through UV polymerization and ionic crosslinking. Concurrently, copper-doped mesoporous silica nanospheres (Cu-MSNs) were synthesized using a one-pot method. Cu-MSNs underwent additional modification through in-situ biomineralization, resulting in the formation of an apatite layer. Polydopamine was employed to facilitate the deposition of Calcium (Ca) and Phosphate (P) ions on the surface of Cu-MSNs (Cu-MSNs/PDA@CaP). Composite hydrogels were created by integrating varied concentrations of Cu-MSNs/PDA@CaP (25, 50, 100, 150, 200 μg/mL). Characterization unveiled distinctive interconnected porous structures within the composite hydrogel, showcasing a notable 169.6 % enhancement in compressive stress (elevating from 89.01 to 240.19 kPa) compared to pure PEGDA. In vitro biocompatibility experiments illustrated that the composite hydrogel maintained elevated cell viability (up to 106.6 %) and facilitated rapid cell proliferation over 7 days. The hydrogel demonstrated a substantial 57.58 % rise in ALP expression and a surprising 235.27 % increase in ARS staining. Moreover, it significantly enhanced the expression of crucial osteogenic genes, such as run-related transcription factors 2 (RUNX2), collagen 1a1 (Col1a1), and secreted phosphoprotein 1 (Spp1), establishing it as a promising scaffold for bone regeneration. This study shows how Cu-MSNs/PDA@CaP were successfully integrated into a double network hydrogel, resulting in a composite material with good biological responses. Due to its improved characteristics, this composite hydrogel holds the potential for advancing bone regeneration procedures.

Abstract
Bone defects stemming from tumorous growths, traumatic events, and diverse conditions present a profound conundrum in clinical practice and research. While bone has the inherent ability to regenerate, substantial bone anomalies require bone regeneration techniques. Bone organoids represent a new concept in this field, involving the 3D self-assembly of bone-associated stem cells guided in vitro with or without extracellular matrix material, resulting in a tissue that mimics the structural, functional, and genetic properties of native bone tissue. Within the scientific panorama, bone organoids ascend to an esteemed status, securing significant experimental endorsement. Through a synthesis of current literature and pioneering studies, this review offers a comprehensive survey of the bone organoid paradigm, delves into the quintessential architecture and ontogeny of bone, and highlights the latest progress in bone organoid fabrication. Further, existing challenges and prospective directions for future research are identified, advocating for interdisciplinary collaboration to fully harness the potential of this burgeoning domain. Conclusively, as bone organoid technology continues to mature, its implications for both clinical and research landscapes are poised to be profound.

Abstract
The bone fracture cases have been increasing yearly, accompanied by the increased number of patients experiencing non-union or delayed union after their bone fracture. Although clinical materials facilitate fracture healing (e.g., metallic and composite materials), they cannot fulfill the requirements due to the slow degradation rate, limited osteogenic activity, inadequate osseointegration ability, and suboptimal mechanical properties. Since early 2000, nanomaterials successfully mimic the nanoscale features of bones and offer unique properties, receiving extensive attention. This paper reviews the achievements of nanomaterials in treating bone fracture (e.g., the intrinsic properties of nanomaterials, nanomaterials for bone defect filling, and nanoscale drug delivery systems in treating fracture delayed union). Furthermore, we discuss the perspectives on the challenges and future directions of developing nanomaterials to accelerate fracture healing.

Abstract
Introduction Bone defects in diabetes mellitus (DM) remain a major challenge for clinical treatment. Fluctuating glucose levels in DM patients lead to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which disrupt bone repair homeostasis. Bone filler materials have been widely used in the clinical treatment of DM-related bone defects, but overall they lack efficacy in improving the bone microenvironment and inducing osteogenesis. We utilized a gelatine methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel with excellent biological properties in combination with molybdenum (Mo)-based polyoxometalate nanoclusters (POM) to scavenge ROS and promote osteoblast proliferation and osteogenic differentiation through the slow-release effect of POM, providing a feasible strategy for the application of biologically useful bone fillers in bone regeneration. Methods We synthesized an injectable hydrogel by gelatine methacrylate (GelMA) and POM. The antioxidant capacity and biological properties of the synthesized GelMA/POM hydrogel were tested. Results In vitro, studies showed that hydrogels can inhibit excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce oxidative stress in cells through the beneficial effects of pH-sensitive POM. Osteogenic differentiation assays showed that GelMA/POM had good osteogenic properties with upregulated expression of osteogenic genes (BMP2, RUNX2, Osterix, ALP). Furthermore, RNA-sequencing revealed that activation of the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells with GelMA/POM may be a potential mechanism to promote osteogenesis. In an in vivo study, radiological and histological analyses showed enhanced bone regeneration in diabetic mice, after the application of GelMA/POM. Conclusion In summary, GelMA/POM hydrogels can enhance bone regeneration by directly scavenging ROS and activating the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway.

Abstract
The intricate, tightly controlled mechanism of wound healing that is a vital physiological mechanism is essential to maintaining the skin's natural barrier function. Numerous studies have focused on wound healing as it is a massive burden on the healthcare system. Wound repair is a complicated process with various cell types and microenvironment conditions. In wound healing studies, novel therapeutic approaches have been proposed to deliver an effective treatment. Nanoparticle-based materials are preferred due to their antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and increased mechanical strength in wound healing. They can be divided into six main groups: metal NPs, ceramic NPs, polymer NPs, self-assembled NPs, composite NPs, and nanoparticle-loaded hydrogels. Each group shows several advantages and disadvantages, and which material will be used depends on the type, depth, and area of the wound. Better wound care/healing techniques are now possible, thanks to the development of wound healing strategies based on these materials, which mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment of the wound. Bearing this in mind, here we reviewed current studies on which NPs have been used in wound healing and how this strategy has become a key biotechnological procedure to treat skin infections and wounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Modular tissue engineering (MTE) is a novel "bottom-up" approach that aims to mimic complex tissue microstructural features. The constructed micromodules are assembled into engineered biological tissues with repetitive functional microunits and form cellular networks. This is emerging as a promising strategy for reconstruction of biological tissue. RESULTS Herein, we constructed a micromodule for MTE and developed engineered osteon-like microunits by inoculating human-derived umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) onto nHA/PLGA microspheres with surface modification of dual growth factors (BMP2/bFGF). By evaluating the results of proliferation and osteogenic differentiation ability of HUMSCs in vitro, the optimal ratio of the dual growth factor (BMP2/bFGF) combination was derived as 5:5. In vivo assessments showed the great importance of HUMSCs for osteogneic differentiation. Ultimately, direct promotion of early osteo-differentiation manifested as upregulation of Runx-2 gene expression. The vascularization capability was evaluated by tube formation assays, demonstrating the importance of HUMSCs in the microunits for angiogenesis. CONCLUSIONS The modification of growth factors and HUMSCs showed ideal biocompatibility and osteogenesis combined with nHA/PLGA scaffolds. The micromodules constructed in the current study provide an efficient stem cell therapy strategy for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with bone-mimicking characteristics and easily internalized by the cell could create suitable microenvironments in which to regulate the therapeutic effects of bone regeneration. This review provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art research in developing and using nanomaterials for better bone injury repair. First, an overview of the hierarchical architecture from the macroscale to the nanoscale of natural bone is presented, as these bone tissue microstructures and compositions are the basis for constructing bone substitutes. Next, urgent clinical issues associated with bone injury that require resolution and the potential of nanomaterials to overcome them are discussed. Finally, nanomaterials are classified as inorganic or organic based on their chemical properties. Their basic characteristics and the results of related bone engineering studies are described. This review describes theoretical and technical bases for the development of innovative methods for repairing damaged bone and should inspire therapeutic strategies with potential for clinical applications.

Fabrication of bFGF/polydopamine-loaded PEEK implants for improving soft tissue integration by upregulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Heliyon 2023; 9:e14800. [PMID: 37012909 PMCID: PMC10066536 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e14800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The difficulties associated with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants and soft tissue integration for craniomaxillofacial bone repair have led to a series of complications that limit the clinical benefits. In this study, 3D printed multi-stage microporous PEEK implants coated with bFGF via polydopamine were fabricated to enhance PEEK implant-soft tissue integration. Multistage microporous PEEK scaffolds prepared by sulfonation of concentrated sulfuric acid were coated with polydopamine, and then used as templates for electrophoretic deposition of bFGF bioactive factors. Achieving polydopamine and bFGF sustained release, the composite PEEK scaffolds possessed good mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, protein adhesion properties. The in vitro results indicated that bFGF/polydopamine-loaded PEEK exhibited good biocompatibility to rabbit embryonic fibroblasts (REF) by promoting cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration. Ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed that bFGF/polydopamine-loaded PEEK implants significantly upregulated the expression of genes and proteins associated with soft tissue integration and activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling in biological processes, but related expression of genes and proteins was significantly downregulated when the Wnt/β-catenin signaling was inhibited. Furthermore, in vivo bFGF/polydopamine-loaded PEEK implants exhibited excellent performance in improving the growth and adhesion of the surrounding soft tissue. In summary, bFGF/polydopamine-loaded PEEK implants possess soft tissue integration properties by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which have a potential translational clinical application in the future.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a comprehensive process that involves different stages, and various growth factors (GFs) play crucial roles in the entire process. GFs are currently widely used in clinical settings to promote bone repair; however, the direct application of GFs is often limited by their fast degradation and short local residual time. Additionally, GFs are expensive, and their use may carry risks of ectopic osteogenesis and potential tumor formation. Nanomaterials have recently shown great promise in delivering GFs for bone regeneration, as they can protect fragile GFs and control their release. Moreover, functional nanomaterials can directly activate endogenous GFs, modulating the regeneration process. This review provides a summary of the latest advances in using nanomaterials to deliver exogenous GFs and activate endogenous GFs to promote bone regeneration. We also discuss the potential for synergistic applications of nanomaterials and GFs in bone regeneration, along with the challenges and future directions that need to be addressed.

Peptide Engraftment on PEGylated Nanoliposomes for Bone Specific Delivery of PTH (1-34) in Osteoporosis. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020608. [PMID: 36839930 PMCID: PMC9965365 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone-specific functionalization strategies on liposomes are promising approaches to delivering the drug in osteoporotic conditions. This approach delivers the drug to the bone surface specifically, reduces the dose and off-target effects of the drug, and thereby reduces the toxicity of the drug. The purpose of the current research work was to fabricate the bone-specific peptide conjugated pegylated nanoliposomes to deliver anabolic drug and its physicochemical evaluations. For this, a bone-specific peptide (SDSSD) was synthesized, and the synthesized peptide was conjugated with a linker (DSPE-PEG2000-COOH) to obtain a bone-specific conjugate (SDSSD-DSPE). Purified SDSSD-DSPE was characterized by HPLC, Maldi-TOF, NMR, and Scanning Electron Microscope/Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Further, peptide-conjugated and anabolic drug-encapsulated liposomes (SDSSD-LPs) were developed using the ethanol injection method and optimized by Central Composite Design (CCD) using a statistical approach. Optimized SDSSD-LPs were evaluated for their physicochemical properties, including surface morphology, particle size, zeta potential, in vitro drug release, and bone mineral binding potential. The obtained results from these studies demonstrated that SDSSD-DSPE conjugate and SDSSD-LPs were optimized successfully. The particle size, % EE, and zeta potential of SDSSD-LPs were observed to be 183.07 ± 0.85 nm, 66.72 ± 4.22%, and -25.03 ± 0.21 mV, respectively. SDSSD-LPs demonstrated a sustained drug release profile. Further, the in vitro bone mineral binding assay demonstrated that SDSSD-LPs deliver the drug to the bone surface specifically. These results suggested that SDSSD-LPs could be a potential targeting approach to deliver the anabolic drug in osteoporotic conditions.

Preparation of Collagen/Hydroxyapatite Composites Using the Alternate Immersion Method and Evaluation of the Cranial Bone-Forming Capability of Composites Complexed with Acidic Gelatin and b-FGF. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:8802.

Abstract
Bone-substitute materials are essential in dental implantology. We prepared collagen (Col)/hydroxyapatite (Hap)/acidic gelatin (AG)/basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) constructs with enhanced bone-forming capability. The Col/Hap apatite composites were prepared by immersing Col sponges alternately in calcium and phosphate ion solutions five times, for 20 and 60 min, respectively. Then, the sponges were heated to 56 °C for 48 h. Scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the Col/Hap composites contained poorly crystalline Hap precipitates on the Col matrix. Col/Hap composite granules were infiltrated by AG, freeze-dried, and immersed in b-FGF solution. The wet quaternary constructs were implanted in rat cranial bone defects for 8 weeks, followed by soft X-ray measurements and histological analysis. Animal studies have shown that the constructs moderately increase bone formation in cranial bone defects. We found that an alternate immersion time of 20 min led to the greatest bone formation (p < 0.05). Constructs placed inside defects slightly extend the preexisting bone from the defect edges and lead to the formation of small island-like bones inside the defect, followed by disappearance of the constructs. The combined use of Col, Hap, AG, and b-FGF might bring about novel bone-forming biomaterials.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 222:1175-1191. [PMID: 36181886 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.09.236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Diabetic individuals are frequently associated with increased fracture risk and poor bone healing capacity, and the treatment of diabetic bone defects remains a great challenge in orthopedics. In this study, an antioxidant hydrogel was developed using reduced glutathione grafted gelatine methacrylate (GelMA-g-GSH), followed by 3D printing to form a tissue engineering scaffold, which possessed appropriate mechanical property and good biocompatibility. In vitro studies displayed that benefitting from the sustained delivery of reduced glutathione, GelMA-g-GSH scaffold enabled to suppress the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce the oxidative stress of cells. Osteogenic experiments showed that GelMA-g-GSH scaffold exhibited excellent osteogenesis performance, with the elevated expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes and proteins. Further, RNA-sequencing revealed that activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway of MC3T3-E1 seeded on GelMA-g-GSH scaffold may be the underlying mechanism in promoting osteogenesis. In vivo, diabetic mice calvarial defects experiment demonstrated enhanced bone regeneration after the implantation of GelMA-g-GSH scaffold, as shown by micro-CT and histological analysis. In summary, 3D-printed GelMA-g-GSH scaffold can not only scavenge ROS, but also promote proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, thereby accelerating bone repair under diabetes.
