Hybrid Micro-/Nanoprotein Platform Provides Endocrine-like and Extracellular Matrix-like Cell Delivery of Growth Factors. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:32930-32944. [PMID: 38888932 PMCID: PMC11231985 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c01210] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Protein materials are versatile tools in diverse biomedical fields. Among them, artificial secretory granules (SGs), mimicking those from the endocrine system, act as mechanically stable reservoirs for the sustained release of proteins as oligomeric functional nanoparticles. Only validated in oncology, the physicochemical properties of SGs, along with their combined drug-releasing and scaffolding abilities, make them suitable as smart topographies in regenerative medicine for the prolonged delivery of growth factors (GFs). Thus, considering the need for novel, safe, and cost-effective materials to present GFs, in this study, we aimed to biofabricate a protein platform combining both endocrine-like and extracellular matrix fibronectin-derived (ECM-FN) systems. This approach is based on the sustained delivery of a nanostructured histidine-tagged version of human fibroblast growth factor 2. The GF is presented onto polymeric surfaces, interacting with FN to spontaneously generate nanonetworks that absorb and present the GF in the solid state, to modulate mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) behavior. The results show that SGs-based topographies trigger high rates of MSCs proliferation while preventing differentiation. While this could be useful in cell therapy manufacture demanding large numbers of unspecialized MSCs, it fully validates the hybrid platform as a convenient setup for the design of biologically active hybrid surfaces and in tissue engineering for the controlled manipulation of mammalian cell growth.

Abstract
Bone cancer among adolescents and children exhibits varying survival outcomes based on disease state. While localized bone cancer cases have a survival rate exceeding 70%, metastatic, refractory, and recurrent forms are associated with significantly poorer prognoses. Initially believed to be mere vehicles for cellular waste disposal, exosomes are now recognized as extracellular vesicles facilitating intercellular communication. These vesicles influence cellular behaviors by transporting various biomolecules, such as proteins, DNA, RNA, and lipids, among cells. The role of exosomes in regulating the progression of bone cancer is increasingly evident, impacting critical processes like tumorigenesis, proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, immune evasion, and drug resistance. Current research underscores the substantial potential of exosomes in promoting the progression and development of bone cancer. This review delves into the complex process of exosome biogenesis, the variety of cell-derived exosome sources, and their applications in drug delivery and therapeutics. It also examines ongoing clinical trials focused on exosome cargo levels and discusses the challenges and future directions in exosome research. Unlike costly and invasive traditional diagnostic methods, exosomal biomarkers offer a non-invasive, cost-effective, and readily accessible routine screening through simple fluid collection that aims to inspire researchers to investigate the potential of exosomes for cancer theragnostic. Through comprehensive exploration of these areas, the review seeks to enhance understanding and foster innovative solutions to cancer biology in the near future.

Abstract
Repair of bone defects exceeding a critical size has been always a big challenge in clinical practice. Tissue engineering has exhibited great potential to effectively repair the defects with less adverse effect than traditional bone grafts, during which how to induce vascularized bone formation has been recognized as a critical issue. Therefore, recently many studies have been launched to attempt to promote osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling. This review summarized comprehensively and explored in depth current efforts to ameliorate the coupling of osteogenesis and angiogenesis from four aspects, namely the optimization of scaffold components, modification of scaffold structures, loading strategies for bioactive substances, and employment tricks for appropriate cells. Especially, the advantages and the possible reasons for every strategy, as well as the challenges, were elaborated. Furthermore, some promising research directions were proposed based on an in-depth analysis of the current research. This paper will hopefully spark new ideas and approaches for more efficiently boosting new vascularized bone formations.

The bone morphogenetic protein 2 analogue L51P enhances spinal fusion in combination with BMP2 in an in vivo rat tail model. Acta Biomater 2024; 177:148-156. [PMID: 38325708 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.01.039] [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: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2) is known to induce osteogenesis and is applied clinically to enhance spinal fusion despite adverse effects. BMP2 needs to be used in high doses to be effective due to the presence of BMP2 inhibitors. L51P is a BMP2 analogue that acts by inhibition of BMP2 inhibitors. Here, we hypothesized that mixtures of BMP2 and L51P could achieve better spinal fusion outcomes regarding ossification. To test whether mixtures of both cytokines are sufficient to improve ossification, 45 elderly Wistar rats (of which 21 were males) were assigned to seven experimental groups, all which received spinal fusion surgery, including discectomy at the caudal 4-5 level using an external fixator and a porous β-tricalcium phosphate (βTCP) carrier. These βTCP carriers were coated with varying concentrations of BMP2 and L51P. X-rays were taken immediately after surgery and again six and twelve weeks post-operatively. Histological sections and µCT were analyzed after twelve weeks. Spinal fusion was assessed using X-ray, µCT and histology according to the Bridwell scale by voxel-based quantification and a semi-quantitative histological score, respectively. The results were congruent across modalities and revealed high ossification for high-dose BMP2 (10 µg), while PBS induced no ossification. Low-dose BMP2 (1 µg) or 10 µg L51P alone did not induce relevant bone formation. However, all combinations of low-dose BMP2 with L51P (1 µg + 1/5/10 µg) were able to induce similar ossificationas high-dose BMP2. These results are of high clinical relevance, as they indicate L51P is sufficient to increase the efficacy of BMP2 and thus lower the required dose for spinal fusion. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Spinal fusion surgery is frequently applied to treat spinal pathologies. Bone Morphogenic Protein-2 (BMP2) has been approved by the U .S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA-) and by the "Conformité Européenne" (CE)-label. However, its application is expensive and high concentrations cause side-effects. This research targets the improvement of the efficacy of BMP2 in spinal fusion surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Benign airway stenosis (BAS) is a severe pathologic condition. Complex stenosis has a high recurrence rate and requires repeated bronchoscopic interventions for achieving optimal control, leading to recurrent BAS (RBAS) due to intraluminal granulation. METHODS This study explored the potential of autologous regenerative factor (ARF) for treating RBAS using a post-intubation tracheal stenosis canine model. Bronchoscopic follow-ups were conducted, and RNA-seq analysis of airway tissue was performed. A clinical study was also initiated involving 17 patients with recurrent airway stenosis. RESULTS In the animal model, ARF demonstrated significant effectiveness in preventing further collapse of the injured airway, maintaining airway patency and promoting tissue regeneration. RNA-seq results showed differential gene expression, signifying alterations in cellular components and signaling pathways. The clinical study found that ARF treatment was well-tolerated by patients with no severe adverse events requiring hospitalization. ARF treatment yielded a high response rate, especially for post-intubation tracheal stenosis and idiopathic tracheal stenosis patients. CONCLUSION The study concludes that ARF presents a promising, effective, and less-invasive method for treating RBAS. ARF has shown potential in prolonging the intermittent period and reducing treatment failure in patients with recurrent tracheal stenosis by facilitating tracheal mucosal wound repair and ameliorating tracheal fibrosis. This novel approach could significantly impact future clinical applications.

Abstract
Platelet concentrates such as platelet-rich plasma, platelet-rich fibrin or concentrated growth factors are cost-effective autologous preparations containing various growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor β, insulin-like growth factor 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor. For this reason, they are often used in regenerative medicine to treat wounds, nerve damage as well as cartilage and bone defects. Unfortunately, after administration, these preparations release growth factors very quickly, which lose their activity rapidly. As a consequence, this results in the need to repeat the therapy, which is associated with additional pain and discomfort for the patient. Recent research shows that combining platelet concentrates with biomaterials overcomes this problem because growth factors are released in a more sustainable manner. Moreover, this concept fits into the latest trends in tissue engineering, which include biomaterials, bioactive factors and cells. Therefore, this review presents the latest literature reports on the properties of biomaterials enriched with platelet concentrates for applications in skin, nerve, cartilage and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The natural healing process of bone is impaired in the presence of tumors, trauma, or inflammation, necessitating external assistance for bone regeneration. The limitations of autologous/allogeneic bone grafting are still being discovered as research progresses. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is now a crucial component of treating bone injuries and actively works to promote vascularization, a crucial stage in bone repair. A biomaterial with hydroxyapatite (HA), which resembles the mineral makeup of invertebrate bones and teeth, has demonstrated high osteoconductivity, bioactivity, and biocompatibility. However, due to its brittleness and porosity, which restrict its application, scientists have been prompted to explore ways to improve its properties by mixing it with other materials, modifying its structural composition, improving fabrication techniques and growth factor loading, and co-cultivating bone regrowth cells to stimulate vascularization. This review scrutinizes the latest five-year research on HA composite studies aimed at amplifying vascularization in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Mineralized collagen (MC) is the basic unit of bone structure and function and is the main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in bone tissue. In the biomimetic method, MC with different nanostructures of neo-bone have been constructed. Among these, extra-fibrous MC has been approved by regulatory agencies and applied in clinical practice to play an active role in bone defect repair. However, in the complex microenvironment of bone defects, such as in blood supply disorders and infections, MC is unable to effectively perform its pro-osteogenic activities and needs to be functionalized to include osteogenesis and the enhancement of angiogenesis, anti-infection, and immunomodulation. This article aimed to discuss the preparation and biological performance of MC with different nanostructures in detail, and summarize its functionalization strategy. Then we describe the recent advances in the osteo-inductive properties and multifunctional coordination of MC. Finally, the latest research progress of functionalized biomimetic MC, along with the development challenges and future trends, are discussed.

Combined application of BMP-2 and naturally occurring bioactive factor mixtures for the optimized therapy of segmental bone defects. Acta Biomater 2023; 157:162-174. [PMID: 36481501 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.11.064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Critical bone defects are the result of traumatic, infection- or tumor-induced segmental bone loss and represent a therapeutic problem that has not been solved by current reconstructive or regenerative strategies yet. Scaffolds functionalized with naturally occurring bioactive factor mixtures show a promising chemotactic and angiogenic potential in vitro and therefore might stimulate bone regeneration in vivo. To assess this prospect, the study targets at heparin-modified mineralized collagen scaffolds functionalized with naturally occurring bioactive factor mixtures and/or rhBMP-2. These scaffolds were implanted into a 2-mm segmental femoral defect in mice and analyzed in respect to newly formed bone volume (BV) and bone mineral density (BMD) by micro-computed tomography scans after an observation period of 6 weeks. To rate the degree of defect healing, the number of vessels, and the activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts were analyzed histologically. The sole application of bioactive factor mixtures is inferior to the use of the recombinant growth factor rhBMP-2 regarding BV and degree of defect healing. A higher rhBMP-2 concentration or the combination with bioactive factor mixtures does not lead to a further enhancement in defect healing. Possibly, a synergistic effect can be achieved by further concentration or a prolonged release of bioactive factor mixtures. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The successful therapy of extended bone defects is still a major challenge in clinical routine. In this study we investigated the bone regenerative potential of naturally occuring bioactive factor mixtures derived from platelet concentrates, adipose tissue and cell secretomes as a cheap and promising alternative to recombinant growth factors in a murine segmental bone defect model. The mixtures alone were not able to induce complete bridging of the bone defect, but in combination with bone morphogenetic protein 2 bone healing seemed to be more physiological. The results show that naturally occuring bioactive factor mixtures are a promising add-on in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) is similar to human bone mineral in structure and biochemistry and is, therefore, widely used as bone biomaterial and a drug carrier. Further, n-HAp composite scaffolds have a great potential role in bone regeneration. Loading bioactive factors and drugs onto n-HAp composites has emerged as a promising strategy for bone defect repair in bone tissue engineering. With local delivery of bioactive agents and drugs, biological materials may be provided with the biological activity they lack to improve bone regeneration. This review summarizes classification of n-HAp composites, application of n-HAp composite scaffolds loaded with bioactive factors and drugs in bone tissue engineering and the drug loading methods of n-HAp composite scaffolds, and the research direction of n-HAp composite scaffolds in the future is prospected.

Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:4229. [PMID: 34439383 PMCID: PMC8392383 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13164229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 08/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
In the last decades, the treatment of primary and secondary bone tumors has faced a slow-down in its development, being mainly based on chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical interventions. However, these conventional therapeutic strategies present a series of disadvantages (e.g., multidrug resistance, tumor recurrence, severe side effects, formation of large bone defects), which limit their application and efficacy. In recent years, these procedures were combined with several adjuvant therapies, with different degrees of success. To overcome the drawbacks of current therapies and improve treatment outcomes, other strategies started being investigated, like carrier-mediated drug delivery, bone substitutes for repairing bone defects, and multifunctional scaffolds with bone tissue regeneration and antitumor properties. Thus, this paper aims to present the types of bone tumors and their current treatment approaches, further focusing on the recent advances in new therapeutic alternatives.
