Project description:Biomaterials hold promise for therapeutic applications in the central nervous system (CNS). Little is known about molecular factors that determine CNS foreign body responses (FBRs) in vivo, or about how such responses influence biomaterial function. Here, we probed these factors in mice using a platform of injectable hydrogels readily modified to present interfaces with different physiochemical properties to host cells. We found that biomaterial FBRs mimic specialized multicellular CNS wound responses not present in peripheral tissues, which serve to isolate damaged neural tissue and restore barrier functions. We show that the nature and intensity of CNS FBRs are determined by definable properties that significantly influence hydrogel functions, including resorption and molecular delivery when injected into healthy brain or stroke injuries. Cationic interfaces elicit stromal cell infiltration, peripherally derived inflammation, neural damage and amyloid production. Nonionic and anionic formulations show minimal levels of these responses, which contributes to superior bioactive molecular delivery. Our results identify specific molecular mechanisms that drive FBRs in the CNS and have important implications for developing effective biomaterials for CNS applications.

Project description:The efficacy of implanted biomedical devices is often compromised by host recognition and subsequent foreign body responses. Here, we demonstrate the role of the geometry of implanted materials on their biocompatibility in vivo. In rodent and non-human primate animal models, implanted spheres 1.5 mm and above in diameter across a broad spectrum of materials, including hydrogels, ceramics, metals and plastics, significantly abrogated foreign body reactions and fibrosis when compared with smaller spheres. We also show that for encapsulated rat pancreatic islet cells transplanted into streptozotocin-treated diabetic C57BL/6 mice, islets prepared in 1.5-mm alginate capsules were able to restore blood-glucose control for up to 180 days, a period more than five times longer than for transplanted grafts encapsulated within conventionally sized 0.5-mm alginate capsules. Our findings suggest that the in vivo biocompatibility of biomedical devices can be significantly improved simply by tuning their spherical dimensions.

Project description:Implantation of synthetic matrices and biomedical devices in diabetic individuals has become a common procedure to repair and/or replace biological tissues. However, an adverse foreign body reaction that invariably occurs adjacent to implant devices impairing their function is poorly characterized in the diabetic environment. We investigated the influence of this condition on the abnormal tissue healing response in implants placed subcutaneously in normoglycemic and streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats. In polyether-polyurethane sponge discs removed 10 days after implantation, the components of the fibrovascular tissue (angiogenesis, inflammation, fibrogenesis, and apoptosis) were assessed. Intra-implant levels of hemoglobin and vascular endothelial growth factor were not different after diabetes when compared with normoglycemic counterparts. However, there were a lower number of vessels in the fibrovascular tissue from diabetic rats when compared with vessel numbers in implants from non-diabetic animals. Overall, the inflammatory parameters (neutrophil accumulation--myeloperoxidase activity, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 levels and mast cell counting) increased in subcutaneous implants after diabetes induction. However, macrophage activation (N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase activity) was lower in implants from diabetic rats when compared with those from normoglycemic animals. All fibrogenic markers (transforming growth factor beta 1 levels, collagen deposition, fibrous capsule thickness, and foreign body giant cells) decreased after diabetes, whereas apoptosis (TUNEL) increased. Our results showing that hyperglycemia down regulates the main features of the foreign body reaction induced by subcutaneous implants in rats may be relevant in understanding biomaterial integration and performance in diabetes.

Project description:Silicone-based medical devices are widely used in chronic implants and are generally perceived to be safe. However, immune-related complications including malignancies have recently been linked to textured breast implants. Here, we examine the influence of clinically approved breast implants surface features on host immune responses. Prosthetics with surface roughness of 0, 4, and 90 (Ra) were implanted in mammary fat pads of mice for 2 weeks and cells adjacent to the resulting tissue capsules were evaluated for foreign body immune responses using single-cell RNA-seq. Our findings identify a unique and finely tuned surface topography that is capable of modulating implant immunity to suppress foreign body response.

Project description:Implantation of biomaterials and devices into soft tissues leads to the development of the foreign body response (FBR), which can interfere with implant function and eventually lead to failure. The FBR consists of overlapping acute and persistent inflammatory phases coupled with collagenous encapsulation and currently there are no therapeutic options. Initiation of the FBR involves macrophage activation, proceeding to giant cell formation, fibroblast activation, and collagen matrix deposition. Despite the recognition of this sequence of events, the molecular pathways required for the FBR have not been elucidated. We have identified that the acute inflammatory response to biomaterials requires nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing 3 (Nlrp3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (Asc), and caspase-1, as well as plasma membrane cholesterol, and Syk signaling. Full development of the FBR is dependent on Asc and caspase-1, but not Nlrp3. The common antiinflammatory drug aspirin can reduce inflammasome activation and significantly reduce the FBR. Taken together, these findings expand the role of the inflammasome from one of sensing damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to sensing all particulate matter irrespective of size. In addition, implication of the inflammasome in biomaterial recognition identifies key pathways, which can be targeted to limit the FBR.

Project description:The foreign body response (FBR) to nitric oxide (NO)-releasing subcutaneous implants was compared between healthy and streptozotocin-induced diabetic swine by evaluating inflammation, collagen capsule formation, and angiogenesis. Steel wire substrates were first modified with polyurethane membranes capable of diverse NO-release kinetics (NO fluxes and release durations of 0.8-630.0 pmol cm-2 s-1 and 2-13 d, respectively). The NO-releasing materials were implanted in the subcutis for 3, 10, or 25 d for histological and immunohistochemical evaluation of the FBR. A delayed, more severe inflammatory response to control (i.e., non-NO-releasing) implants was observed in diabetic pigs relative to healthy swine. Regardless of the animal disease state, each NO-releasing implant tested elicited reduced inflammation compared to controls at both 3 and 10 d. However, only the NO-release materials capable of releasing low NO fluxes (0.8-3.3 pmol cm-2 s-1) for 7-13 d durations mitigated the inflammatory response at 25 d. Using immunohistochemical staining for the endothelial cell surface marker CD-31, we also observed poor blood vessel development at non-NO-releasing implants in diabetic swine. Relative to controls, NO-releasing implants with the longest NO-release duration (13 d) increased blood vessel densities by 47.1 and 70.4% in the healthy and diabetic pigs, respectively. In the healthy model, tissues surrounding the long NO-release materials contained sparse amounts of collagen, whereas implants with shorter NO-release durations (2, 3, and 7 d) were characterized with a dense collagen encapsulation layer, similar to controls. Collagen deposition in diabetic swine was inhibited, and unaffected by NO. These results emphasize several key differences in the FBR in the setting of acute onset diabetes. The observation that NO release counteracts the more severe FBR in diabetic swine while simultaneously promoting tissue integration may help guide the design of medical implants (e.g., glucose sensors) with improved performance for diabetes management.

Project description:The foreign body response is dictating the outcome of wound healing around any implanted materials. Patients who suffer from chronic inflammatory diseases and impaired wound healing often face a higher risk for implant failure. Therefore, functional surfaces need to be developed to improve tissue integration. For this purpose, we evaluated the impact of surface coatings made of antioxidant polyphenolic molecules tannic acid (TA) and pyrogallol (PG) on the host response in human blood. Our results showed that although the polyphenolic surface modifications impact the initial blood protein adsorption compared to Ti, the complement and coagulation systems are triggered. Despite complement activation, monocytes and granulocytes remained inactivated, which was manifested in a low pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. Under oxidative stress, both coatings were able to reduce intracellular reactive oxygen species in human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs). However, no anti-inflammatory effects of polyphenolic coatings could be verified in hGFs stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and IL-1β. Although polyphenols reportedly inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway, phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 was observed. In conclusion, our results indicated that TA and PG coatings improved the hemocompatibility of titanium surfaces and have the potential to reduce oxidative stress during wound healing.

Project description:RationaleGranulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) autoantibodies (GMAb) are strongly associated with idiopathic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and are believed to be important in its pathogenesis. However, levels of GMAb do not correlate with disease severity and GMAb are also present at low levels in healthy individuals.ObjectivesOur primary objective was to determine whether human GMAb would reproduce PAP in healthy primates. A secondary objective was to determine the concentration of GMAb resulting in loss of GM-CSF signaling in vivo (i.e., critical threshold).MethodsNonhuman primates (Macaca fascicularis) were injected with highly purified, PAP patient-derived GMAb in dose-ranging (2.2-50 mg) single and multiple administration studies, and after blocking antihuman immunoglobulin immune responses, in chronic administration studies maintaining serum levels greater than 40 microg/ml for up to 11 months.Measurements and main resultsGMAb blocked GM-CSF signaling causing (1) a milky-appearing bronchoalveolar lavage fluid containing increased surfactant lipids and proteins; (2) enlarged, foamy, surfactant-filled alveolar macrophages with reduced PU.1 and PPARgamma mRNA, and reduced tumor necrosis factor-alpha secretion; (3) pulmonary leukocytosis; (4) increased serum surfactant protein-D; and (5) impaired neutrophil functions. GM-CSF signaling varied inversely with GMAb concentration below a critical threshold of 5 microg/ml, which was similar in lungs and blood and to the value observed in patients with PAP.ConclusionsGMAb reproduced the molecular, cellular, and histopathologic features of PAP in healthy primates, demonstrating that GMAb directly cause PAP. These results have implications for therapy of PAP and help define the therapeutic window for potential use of GMAb to treat other disorders.

Project description:Detailing the inflammatory mechanisms of biomaterial-implant induced foreign body responses (FBR) has implications for revealing targetable pathways that may reduce leukocyte activation and fibrotic encapsulation of the implant. We have adapted a model of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) bead injection to perform an assessment of the mechanistic role of the ASC-dependent inflammasome in this process. We first demonstrate that ASC(-/-) mice subjected to PMMA bead injections had reduced cell infiltration and altered collagen deposition, suggesting a role for the inflammasome in the FBR. We next investigated the NLRP3 and AIM2 sensors because of their known contributions in recognising damaged and apoptotic cells. We found that NLRP3 was dispensable for the fibrotic encapsulation; however AIM2 expression influenced leukocyte infiltration and controlled collagen deposition, suggesting a previously unexplored link between AIM2 and biomaterial-induced FBR.

Project description:Mg alloy is one of the lightest metals on earth and has the most similar mechanical properties to human bones. However, the active chemical properties and fast in vivo degrade speed significantly hinder its further employment as human implant. In this study, three different Mg alloys are employed to investigate the in vitro corrosion behavior including weight loss, pH value evolution and surface hardness and in vivo degradable speed and tissue compatibility. All three Mg alloys are well tolerated when implanted in SD rats, with minimal influence on hepato-and renal functions and vital organs. Compared to cold extruded AZ31 (CE AZ31) and pure Mg (PM) specimens, fully annealed AZ31 (FA AZ31) presents much stable surface asperity. Proteomics analysis of tissues near implant site showed that FA AZ31 activates few inflammation and immune associated signaling pathways; while the CE AZ31 and pure Mg led more significant inflammatory responses as confirmed by the cytokine array that pure Mg stimulate higher IL-1 production than FA AZ31. Further, FA AZ31 can activate pathways of cell organization and development that may improve the recovery of the injured tissues neighboring the implant sites. Besides, all three Mg alloys cannot inhibit a methicillin-resistant S. aureus growth if the implants are contaminated with this bacterium. FA AZ31 has a higher ratio of first-order pyramidal slips system (10-11) {10-1-2} than pure Mg and cold extruded AZ31 analysed by EBSD, suggesting the process of dynamic recovery may plays an important role in the improvement of mechanical properties, especially bio-properties including corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. In conclusion, FA AZ31 has better biocompatibilities and corrosion resistance, makes it a promising candidate of metal-based degradable implant and warrant further investigation.
