Biomed Mater 2024; 19:045027. [PMID: 38740059 DOI: 10.1088/1748-605x/ad4ad9] [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: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Cell-based tissue engineering often requires the use of scaffolds to provide a three-dimensional (3D) framework for cell proliferation and tissue formation. Polycaprolactone (PCL), a type of polymer, has good printability, favorable surface modifiability, adaptability, and biodegradability. However, its large-scale applicability is hindered by its hydrophobic nature, which affects biological properties. Composite materials can be created by adding bioactive materials to the polymer to improve the properties of PCL scaffolds. Osteolectin is an odontogenic factor that promotes the maintenance of the adult skeleton by promoting the differentiation of LepR+ cells into osteoblasts. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether 3D-printed PCL/osteolectin scaffolds supply a suitable microenvironment for the odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). The hDPCs were cultured on 3D-printed PCL scaffolds with or without pores. Cell attachment and cell proliferation were evaluated using EZ-Cytox. The odontogenic differentiation of hDPCs was evaluated by alizarin red S staining and alkaline phosphatase assays. Western blot was used to evaluate the expression of the proteins DSPP and DMP-Results: The attachment of hDPCs to PCL scaffolds with pores was significantly higher than to PCL scaffolds without pores. The odontogenic differentiation of hDPCs was induced more in PCL/osteolectin scaffolds than in PCL scaffolds, but there was no statistically significant difference. 3D-printed PCL scaffolds with pores are suitable for the growth of hDPCs, and the PCL/osteolectin scaffolds can provide a more favorable microenvironment for the odontogenic differentiation of hDPCs.

Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of bone regeneration upon the application of leptin and osteolectin to a three-dimensional (3D) printed poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffold. A fused deposition modeling 3D bioprinter was used to fabricate scaffolds with a diameter of 4.5 mm, a height of 0.5 mm, and a pore size of 420-520 nm using PCL (molecular weight: 43 000). After amination of the scaffold surface for leptin and osteolectin adhesion, the experimental groups were divided into the PCL scaffold (control), the aminated PCL (PCL/Amine) scaffold, the leptin-coated PCL (PCL/Leptin) scaffold, and the osteolectin-coated PCL (PCL/Osteo) scaffold. Next, the water-soluble tetrazolium salt-1 (WST-1) assay was used to assess cell viability. All groups exhibited cell viability rates of >100%. Female 7-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used forin vivoexperiments. Calvarial defects were introduced on the rats' skulls using a 5.5 mm trephine bur. The rats were divided into the PCL (control), PCL/Leptin, and PCL/Osteo scaffold groups. The scaffolds were then inserted into the calvarial defect areas, and the rats were sacrificed after 8-weeks to analyze the defect area. Micro-CT analysis indicated that the leptin- and osteolectin-coated scaffolds exhibited significantly higher bone regeneration. Histological analysis revealed new bone and blood vessels in the calvarial defect area. These findings indicate that the 3D-printed PCL scaffold allows for patient-customized fabrication as well as the easy application of proteins like leptin and osteolectin. Moreover, leptin and osteolectin did not show cytotoxicity and exhibited higher bone regeneration potential than the existing scaffold.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects on odontoblast differentiation of a 3D-printed poly-ϵ-caprolactone (PCL) scaffold that incorporated leptin. Material extrusion-type 3D printing with a 43 000-molecular weight PCL material was used to fabricate a PCL scaffold with a 6 mm diameter, 1 mm height, and 270-340 µm pore size. The experimental groups were PCL scaffolds (control group), PCL scaffolds with aminated surfaces (group A), and PCL scaffolds with leptin on the aminated surface (group L). The aminated surface was treated with 1,6-hexanediamine and verified by ninhydrin analysis. Leptin loading was performed using Traut's reagent and 4-(N-Maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid 3-sulfo-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester sodium salt (Sulfo-SMCC). Groups A and L showed significantly higher surface wettability, pulp cell adhesion, and proliferation than the control group. Group L exhibited increased alkaline phosphatase, calcification deposits, and mRNA and protein expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein and dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 compared with the control group. In this study, a 3D-printed PCL scaffold containing leptin was enhanced odontoblast differentiation and dental pulp cells adhesion and proliferation.

Abstract
Excessive tissue damage or loss has been solved by guided tissue regeneration and guided bone regeneration theories. However, the unfavorable degradation property of the resorbable collagen scaffold brings a big challenge to support soft tissue stabilization and time-consuming osteogenesis. The combined effect for soft tissue and bone of the collagen scaffold with better degradation pattern has not been clearly proven. This study determined whether the double surfaces of crosslinked collagen scaffolds could optimize the combined soft tissue repair and osteogenesis. In this study, we applied the chemically crosslinking treatment to the commercially available collagen scaffolds. Surface characterization, mechanical property and cell proliferation in vitro were evaluated. Combined bilateral skin and bone defects were established with the smooth surface of scaffold facing the skin defect and the rough surface facing the bone defect on the calvaria of rat. Micro-CT and histological evaluation were applied to determine the scaffold degradation pattern, soft tissue repair and osteogenesis. The crosslinked collagen scaffolds showed comparably favorable surface porosity, structure intactness, superhydrophilicity and mechanical properties. Compared to the native scaffolds, the crosslinked scaffolds could optimize the combined soft tissue repair and osteogenesis by preferably prolonged degradation time. Early pro-angiogenesis facilitated soft tissue repair and osteogenesis by upregulated soft tissue matrix degradation and balanced pro-osteogenesis with limited osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Taken together, this study offers a promising repair strategy for the combined soft tissue and bone defects. Further, the possible mechanism of controllable scaffold degradation should be conducted.

Bioact Mater 2022; 18:116-127. [PMID: 35387176 PMCID: PMC8961427 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2022] [Revised: 02/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The clinical application of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is limited by several factors, including ineffectiveness at low doses and severe adverse effects at high doses. To address these efficacy and safety limitations, we explored whether orchestration of energy metabolism and osteogenesis by magnesium ion (Mg2+) could reduce the dose and thereby improve the safety of BMP-2. Our results demonstrated that rapid metabolic activation triggered by BMP-2 was indispensable for subsequent osteogenesis. Moreover, inadequate metabolic stimulation was shown to be responsible for the ineffectiveness of low-dose BMP-2. Next, we identified that Mg2+, as an ''energy propellant", substantially increased cellular bioenergetic levels to support the osteogenesis via the Akt-glycolysis-Mrs2-mitochondrial axis, and consequently enhanced the osteoinductivity of BMP-2. Based on the mechanistic discovery, microgel composite hydrogels were fabricated as low-dose BMP-2/Mg2+ codelivery system through microfluidic and 3D printing technologies. An in vivo study further confirmed that rapid and robust bone regeneration was induced by the codelivery system. Collectively, these results suggest that this bioenergetic-driven, cost-effective, low-dose BMP-2-based strategy has substantial potential for bone repair. BMP-2 triggered rapid metabolic adaption, characterized by the successive activation of glycolysis and OxPhos. Inadequate activation of metabolic state led to the ineffectiveness of low-dose BMP-2. Mg2+ elevated the bioenergetic levels and enhance the efficacy of BMP-2 via the Akt-glycolysis-Mrs2-mitochondrial axis. Composite hydrogels with BMP-2 and "energy propellant" Mg2+ were fabricated to orchestrate metabolism and osteogenesis. The hydrogels achieved efficient low-dose BMP-2-driven regeneration in vivo.

Abstract
Gene therapeutic applications combined with bio- and nano-materials have been used to address current shortcomings in bone tissue engineering due to their feasibility, safety and potential capability for clinical translation. Delivery of non-viral vectors can be altered using gene-activated matrices to improve their efficacy to repair bone defects.Ex-situandin-situdelivery strategies are the most used methods for bone therapy, which have never been directly compared for their potency to repair critical-sized bone defects. In this regard, we first time explore the delivery of polyethylenimine (PEI) complexed plasmid DNA encoding bone morphogenetic protein-2 (PEI-pBMP-2) using the two delivery strategies,ex-situandin-situdelivery. To realize these gene delivery strategies, we employed intraoperative bioprinting (IOB), enabling us to 3D bioprint bone tissue constructs directly into defect sites in a surgical setting. Here, we demonstrated IOB of an osteogenic bioink loaded with PEI-pBMP-2 for thein-situdelivery approach, and PEI-pBMP-2 transfected rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells laden bioink for theex-situdelivery approach as alternative delivery strategies. We found thatin-situdelivery of PEI-pBMP-2 significantly improved bone tissue formation compared toex-situdelivery. Despite debates amongst individual advantages and disadvantages ofex-situandin-situdelivery strategies, our results ruled in favor of thein-situdelivery strategy, which could be desirable to use for future clinical applications.

Abstract
The need for bladder reconstruction and side effects of cystoplasty have spawned the demand for the development of alternative material substitutes. Biomaterials such as submucosa of small intestine (SIS) have been widely used as patches for bladder repair, but the outcomes are not fully satisfactory. To capture stem cells in situ has been considered as a promising strategy to speed up the process of re-cellularization and functionalization. In this study, we have developed an anti-CD29 antibody-conjugated SIS scaffold (AC-SIS) which is capable of specifically capturing urine-derived stem cells (USCs) in situ for tissue repair and regeneration. The scaffold has exhibited effective capture capacity and sound biocompatibility. In vivo experiment proved that the AC-SIS scaffold could promote rapid endothelium healing and smooth muscle regeneration. The endogenous stem cell capturing scaffolds has thereby provided a new revenue for developing effective and safer bladder patches. We developed an anti-CD29 antibody-crosslinked submucosa of small intestine scaffold (AC-SIS). AC-SIS is capable of specifically capturing urine-derived stem cells (USCs) as well as possesses a sound biocompatibility. AC-SIS promotes in situ tissue regeneration by facilitating the repair of bladder epithelium, smooth muscle and angiogenesis. Design and application of endogenous stem cell capturing scaffolds provides a new strategy for bladder repair.

Abstract
Growth factors play a critical role in tissue repair and regeneration. However, their clinical success is limited by their low stability, short half-life, and rapid diffusion from the delivery site. Supraphysiological growth factor concentrations are often required to demonstrate efficacy but can lead to adverse reactions, such as inflammatory complications and increased cancer risk. These issues have motivated the development of delivery systems that enable sustained release and controlled presentation of growth factors. This review specifically focuses on bioconjugation strategies to enhance growth factor activity for bone, cartilage, and osteochondral applications. We describe approaches to localize growth factors using noncovalent and covalent methods, bind growth factors via peptides, and mimic growth factor function with mimetic peptide sequences. We also discuss emerging and future directions to control spatiotemporal growth factor delivery to improve functional tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Background Microfracture is one of the most widely used techniques for the repair of articular cartilage. However, microfracture often results in filling of the chondral defect with fibrocartilage, which exhibits poor durability and sub-optimal mechanical properties. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is a potent chemoattractant for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and is expressed at high levels in bone marrow adjacent to developing cartilage during endochondral bone formation. Integrating SDF-1 into an implantable collagen scaffold may provide a chondro-conductive and chondro-inductive milieu via chemotaxis of MSCs and promotion of chondrogenic differentiation, facilitating more robust hyaline cartilage formation following microfracture. Objective This work aimed to confirm the chemoattractive properties of SDF-1 in vitro and develop a one-step method for incorporating SDF-1 in vivo to enhance cartilage repair using a rat osteochondral defect model. Methods Bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) were harvested from the femurs of Sprague–Dawley rats and cultured in low-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, with the medium changed every 3 days. Passage 1 MSCs were analyzed by flow cytometry with an S3 Cell Sorter (Bio-Rad). In vitro cell migration assays were performed on MSCs by labeling cells with carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester (CFDA-SE; Bio-Rad). For the microfracture model, a 1.6-mm-diameter osteochondral defect was created in the femoral trochleae of 20 Sprague–Dawley rats bilaterally until bone marrow spillage was seen under saline irrigation. One knee was chosen at random to receive implantation of the scaffold, and the contralateral knee was left unfilled as an empty control. Type I collagen scaffolds (Kensey Nash) were coated with either gelatin only or gelatin and SDF-1 using a dip coating process. The rats received implantation of either a gelatin-only scaffold (N = 10) or gelatin-and-SDF-1 scaffold (N = 10) at the site of the microfracture. Femurs were collected for histological analyses at 4- and 8-week time points post-operatively, and sections were stained with Safranin O/Fast Green. The samples were graded blindly by two observers using the Modified O’Driscoll score, a validated scoring system for chondral repair. A minimum of 10 separate grading scores were made per sample and averaged. Quantitative comparisons of cell migration in vitro were performed with one-way ANOVA. Cartilage repair in vivo was also compared among groups with one-way ANOVA, and the results were presented as mean ± standard deviation, with P-values < 0.05 considered as statistically significant. Results MSC migration showed a dose–response relationship with SDF-1, with an optimal dosage for chemotaxis between 10 and 100 ng/ml. After scaffold implantation, the SDF-1-treated group demonstrated complete filling of the cartilage defect with mature cartilage tissue, exhibiting strong proteoglycan content, smooth borders, and good incorporation into marginal cartilage. Modified O’Driscoll scores after 8 weeks showed a significant improvement of cartilage repair in the SDF-1 group relative to the empty control group (P < 0.01), with a trend toward improvement when compared with the gelatin-only-scaffold group (P < 0.1). No significant differences in scores were found between the empty defect group and gelatin-only group. Conclusion In this study, we demonstrated a simple method for improving the quality of cartilage defect repair in a rat model of microfracture. We confirmed the chemotactic properties of SDF-1 on rat MSCs and found an optimized dosage range for chemotaxis between 10 and 100 ng/ml. Furthermore, we demonstrated a strategy to incorporate SDF-1 into gelatin–collagen I scaffolds in vivo at the site of an osteochondral defect. SDF-1-treated defects displayed robust hyaline cartilage resurfacing of the defect with minimal fibrous tissue, in contrast to the empty control group. The results of the in vitro and in vivo studies together suggest that SDF-1-mediated signaling may significantly improve the quality of cartilage regeneration in an osteochondral defect.

Abstract
Shortcomings related to the treatment of bone diseases and consequent tissue regeneration such as transplants have been addressed to some extent by tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering has promoted structures that can simulate the extracellular matrix and are capable of guiding natural bone repair using signaling molecules to promote osteoinduction and angiogenesis essential in the formation of new bone tissues. Although recent studies on developing novel growth factor delivery systems for bone repair have attracted great attention, taking into account the complexity of the extracellular matrix, scaffolding and growth factors should not be explored independently. Consequently, systems that combine both concepts have great potential to promote the effectiveness of bone regeneration methods. In this review, recent developments in bone regeneration that simultaneously consider scaffolding and growth factors are covered in detail. The main emphasis in this overview is on delivery strategies that employ polymer-based scaffolds for spatiotemporal-controlled delivery of both single and multiple growth factors in bone-regeneration approaches. From clinical applications to creating alternative structural materials, bone tissue engineering has been advancing constantly, and it is relevant to regularly update related topics.

Abstract
Because the collagen membrane lacks osteoinductivity, it must be modified with bioactive components to trigger rapid bone regeneration. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the bone regeneration effects of a collagen membrane chemically conjugated with stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1α) in rat models. To this end, different collagen membranes from four groups including a control group with a Bio-Oss bone substitute + collagen membrane; physical adsorption group with Bio-Oss + SDF-1α physically adsorbed on the collagen membrane; chemical cross-linking group with Bio-Oss + SDF-1α chemically cross-linked to the collagen membrane; and cell-seeding group with Bio-Oss + bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded onto the collagen membrane were placed in critical-sized defect models using a guided bone regeneration technique. At 4 and 8 weeks, the specimens were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, micro-computed tomography, and histomorphology analyzes. Furthermore, ectopic osteogenesis was examined by histological analysis with Von Kossa staining, with the samples counterstained by hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining. The results showed that in the chemical cross-linking group and cell-seeding group, the bone volume fraction, bone surface area fraction, and trabecular number were significantly increased and showed more new bone formation compared to the control and physical adsorption groups. Von Kossa-stained samples counterstained with hematoxylin and eosin and subjected to immunohistochemical staining of 4-week implanted membranes revealed that the chemical cross-linking group had the largest number of microvessels. The collagen membrane chemically conjugated with SDF-1α to significantly promote new bone and microvessel formation compared to SDF-1α physical adsorption and showed similar effects on new bone formation as a BMSC seeding method. This study provided a cell-free approach for shortening the bone healing time and improving the success rate of guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
Background Critical-sized bone defects raise great challenges. Zein is of interest for bone regeneration, but it has limited ability to stimulate cell proliferation. In this regard, a poly (aspartic acid) (PAsp)-zein hybrid is promising, as PAsp can promote rat bone marrow stromal cell (rBMSCs) proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. This research aimed to develop electrospun PAsp-modified zein nanofibers to realize critical-sized bone defects repair. Methods Three groups of PAsp-modified zein nanofibers were prepared, they were PAsp grafting percentages of 0% (zein), 5.32% (ZPAA-1), and 7.63% (ZPAA-2). Using rBMSCs as in vitro cell model and SD rats as in vivo animal model, fluorescence staining, SEM, CCK-8, ALP, ARS staining, μCT and histological analysis were performed to verify the biological and osteogenic activities for PAsp-modified zein nanofibers. Results As the Asp content increased from 0% to 7.63%, the water contact angle decreased from 129.8 ± 2.3° to 105.5 ± 2.5°. SEM, fluorescence staining and CCK-8 assay showed that ZPAA-2 nanofibers had a superior effect on rBMSCs spreading and proliferation than did zein and ZPAA-1 nanofibers, ALP activity and ARS staining showed that ZPAA-2 can improve rBMSCs osteogenic differentiation. In vivo osteogenic activities was evaluated by μCT analysis, HE, Masson and immunohistochemical staining, indicating accelerated bone formation in ZPAA-2 SD rats after 4 and 8 weeks treatment, with a rank order of ZPAA-2 > ZPAA-1 > zein group. Moreover, the semiquantitative results of the Masson staining revealed that the maturity of the new bone was higher in the ZPAA-2 group than in the other groups. Conclusion Electrospun PAsp-modified zein can provide a suitable microenvironment for osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs, as well as for bone regeneration; the optimal membrane appears to have a PAsp grafting percentage of 7.63%.

Abstract
Introduction In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, hamstring tendon autograft is a well-accepted surgical choice as an alternative ACL graft. But the main disadvantage of autograft is its inefficient healing with host bone-tunnel which will leading to surgery failure. Methods A biomimetic nanofibrous membrane for tendon-bone integration is fabricated in this work, which is composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospinning membrane and chitosan/hyaluronic acid (CS/HA) multilayers film. Results By using layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly this functional CS/HA multilayer films are deposited on the surface of PCL nanofiber to enable the local delivery of stromal cell-derived factor-1 α (SDF-1α) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in tendon-bone interface. This membrane can promote cell proliferation and recruitment, as well as inducing the osteogenic differentiation and recruitment of BMSCs. Conclusion Further in vivo studies demonstrate that to wrap the tendon autograft using the membrane may afford superior tendon-bone integration and inhibit scar tissue formation in a rabbit ACL reconstruction model. More importantly, the biomechanical properties of the tendon-bone interface have been improved. This study shows that this biomimetic nanofibrous membrane is effective for improving tendon-bone healing after ACL reconstruction surgery.

Abstract
The effect of dual delivery of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase 10 (MMP10) on bone regeneration was investigated in a murine model of calvarial critical-size defect, hypothesizing that it would result in an enhanced bone formation. Critical-size calvarial defects (4 mm diameter) were created in mice and PLGA microspheres preloaded with either BMP-2, MMP10 or a microsphere combination of both were transplanted into defect sites at different doses. Empty microspheres were used as the negative control. Encapsulation efficiency was assessed and in vivo release kinetics of BMP-2 and MMP10 were examined over 14 days. Histological analyses were used to analyze bone formation after four and eight weeks. Combination with MMP10 (30 ng) significantly enhanced BMP-2 (600 ng)-mediated osteogenesis, as confirmed by the increase in percentage of bone fill (p < .05) at four weeks. Moreover, it also increased mineral apposition rate (p < .05), measured by double labeling with tetracycline and calceine. MMP10 accelerates bone repair by enhancing BMP-2-promoted bone healing and improving the mineralization rate. In conclusion combination of MMP10 and BMP-2 may become a promising strategy for repair and regeneration of bone defects.

Abstract
In vivo monitoring of tissue-engineered constructs is important to assess their integrity, remodeling, and degradation. However, this is challenging when the contrast with neighboring tissues is low, necessitating labeling with contrast agents (CAs), but current CAs have limitations (i.e., toxicity, negative contrast, label instability, and/or inappropriate size). Therefore, a naturally derived hemin-L-lysine (HL) complex is used as a potential CA to label collagen-based templates for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Labeling does not change the basic characteristics of the collagen templates. When hybrid templates composed of collagen type I reinforced with degradable polymers are subcutaneously implanted in mice, longitudinal visualization by MRI is possible with good contrast and in correlation with template remodeling. In contrast, unlabeled collagen templates are hardly detectable and the fate of these templates cannot be monitored by MRI. Interestingly, tissue remodeling and vascularization are enhanced within HL-labeled templates. Thus, HL labeling is presented as a promising universal imaging marker to label tissue-engineered implants for MRI, which additionally seems to accelerate tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The combination of bone tissue scaffolds with osteogenic induction factors is an effective strategy to facilitate bone healing processes. Here, chitosan (CS)/nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds containing simvastatin (SIM)-loaded PLGA microspheres were fabricated by combining a freeze-drying technique with a modified water-oil-water emulsion method. The CS/HA weight ratio of 1:2 was selected by analyzing the effect of HA content on the micro-architecture, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility of the scaffold. Drug release kinetics showed that the SIM encapsulated in the scaffold was released in a sustained manner for up to 30 days. In vitro bioactivity study in rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells showed that the SIM-loaded scaffolds had a strong ability in accelerating cell proliferation and inducing osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, an in vivo experiment using a rat calvarial defect model also documented that the SIM-loaded scaffolds had a remarkable effect on bone-promoting regeneration. The results of this study suggest that the SIM-loaded CS/HA scaffold is feasible and effective in bone repair and thus may provide a promising route for the treatment of critical-sized bone defects.
