Abstract
The complement system plays a key role in opsonization and immune clearance of engineered nanoparticles. Understanding the efficiency, inter-subject, and inter-strain differences of complement opsonization in preclinical species can help with translational nanomedicine development and improve our ability to model complement response in humans. Dextran-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles and a wide range of non-magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle formulations are widely used in magnetic resonance imaging and as clinically approved iron supplements. Previously we found that opsonization of SPIO nanoworms (NW) with the third complement protein (C3) proceeds mostly via the alternative pathway in humans, and via the lectin pathway in mice. Here, we studied the pathway and efficiency of opsonization of 106 nm SPIO NW with C3 in different preclinical species and commonly used laboratory strains. In sera of healthy human donors (n = 6), C3 opsonization proceeded exclusively through the alternative pathway. On the other hand, the C3 opsonization in dogs (6 breeds), rats (4 strains) and mice (5 strains) sera was either partially or completely dependent on the complement Ca2+-sensitive pathways (lectin and/or classical). Specifically, C3 opsonization in sera of Long Evans rat strain, and mouse strains widely used in nanomedicine research (BALB/c, C57BL/6 J, and A/J) was only through the Ca2+-dependent pathways. Dogs and humans had the highest between-subject variability in C3 opsonization levels, while rat and mouse sera showed the lowest between-strain variability. Furthermore, using a panel of SPIO nanoparticles of different sizes and dextran coatings, we found that the level of C3 opsonization (C3 molecules per milligram Fe) in human sera was lower than in animal sera. At the same time, there was a strong predictive value of complement opsonization in dog and rat sera; nanoparticles with higher C3 deposition in animals showed higher deposition in humans, and vice versa. Notably, the opsonization decreased with decreasing size in all sera. The studies highlight the importance of the consideration of species and strains for predicting human complement responses (opsonization) towards nanomedicines.

Proper animal experimental designs for preclinical research of biomaterials for intervertebral disc regeneration. BIOMATERIALS TRANSLATIONAL 2021; 2:91-142. [PMID: 35836965 PMCID: PMC9255780 DOI: 10.12336/biomatertransl.2021.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Low back pain is a vital musculoskeletal disease that impairs life quality, leads to disability and imposes heavy economic burden on the society, while it is greatly attributed to intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). However, the existing treatments, such as medicines, chiropractic adjustments and surgery, cannot achieve ideal disc regeneration. Therefore, advanced bioactive therapies are implemented, including stem cells delivery, bioreagents administration, and implantation of biomaterials etc. Among these researches, few reported unsatisfying regenerative outcomes. However, these advanced therapies have barely achieved successful clinical translation. The main reason for the inconsistency between satisfying preclinical results and poor clinical translation may largely rely on the animal models that cannot actually simulate the human disc degeneration. The inappropriate animal model also leads to difficulties in comparing the efficacies among biomaterials in different reaches. Therefore, animal models that better simulate the clinical charateristics of human IDD should be acknowledged. In addition, in vivo regenerative outcomes should be carefully evaluated to obtain robust results. Nevertheless, many researches neglect certain critical characteristics, such as adhesive properties for biomaterials blocking annulus fibrosus defects and hyperalgesia that is closely related to the clinical manifestations, e.g., low back pain. Herein, in this review, we summarized the animal models established for IDD, and highlighted the proper models and parameters that may result in acknowledged IDD models. Then, we discussed the existing biomaterials for disc regeneration and the characteristics that should be considered for regenerating different parts of discs. Finally, well-established assays and parameters for in vivo disc regeneration are explored.
