An injectable hydrogel-formulated inhibitor of prolyl-4-hydroxylase promotes T regulatory cell recruitment and enhances alveolar bone regeneration during resolution of experimental periodontitis.

ABSTRACT: The hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is critically involved in tissue regeneration. Hence, the pharmacological prevention of HIF-1α degradation by prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) under normoxic conditions is emerging as a promising option in regenerative medicine. Using a mouse model of ligature-induced periodontitis and resolution, we tested the ability of an injectable hydrogel-formulated PHD inhibitor, 1,4-dihydrophenonthrolin-4-one-3-carboxylic acid (1,4-DPCA/hydrogel), to promote regeneration of alveolar bone lost owing to experimental periodontitis. Mice injected subcutaneously with 1,4-DPCA/hydrogel at the onset of periodontitis resolution displayed significantly increased gingival HIF-1α protein levels and bone regeneration, as compared to mice treated with vehicle control. The 1,4-DPCA/hydrogel-induced increase in bone regeneration was associated with elevated expression of osteogenic genes, decreased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine genes, and increased abundance of FOXP3⁺ T regulatory (Treg) cells in the periodontal tissue. The enhancing effect of 1,4-DPCA/hydrogel on Treg cell accumulation and bone regeneration was reversed by AMD3100, an antagonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 that mediates Treg cell recruitment. In conclusion, the administration of 1,4-DPCA/hydrogel at the onset of periodontitis resolution promotes CXCR4-dependent accumulation of Treg cells and alveolar bone regeneration, suggesting a novel approach for regaining bone lost due to periodontitis.

Contactless magnetically responsive injectable hydrogel for aligned tissue regeneration.

Project description:Cellular alignment plays a pivotal role in several human tissues, including skeletal muscle, spinal cord and tendon. Various techniques have been developed to control cellular alignment using 3D biomaterials. However, the majority of 3D-aligned scaffolds require invasive surgery for implantation. In contrast, injectable hydrogels provide a non-invasive delivery method, gaining considerable attention for the treatment of diverse conditions, including osteochondral lesions, volumetric muscle loss, and traumatic brain injury. We engineered a biomimetic hydrogel with magnetic responsiveness by combining gellan gum, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Collagen type I was paired with MNPs to form magnetic collagen bundles (MCollB), allowing the orientation control of these bundles within the hydrogel matrix through the application of a remote low-intensity magnetic field. This resulted in the creation of an anisotropic architecture. The hydrogel mechanical properties were comparable to those of human soft tissues, such as skeletal muscle, and proof of the aligned hydrogel concept was demonstrated. In vitro findings confirmed the absence of toxicity and pro-inflammatory effects. Notably, an increased fibroblast cell proliferation and pro-regenerative activation of macrophages were observed. The in-vivo study further validated the hydrogel biocompatibility and demonstrated the feasibility of injection with rapid in situ gelation. Consequently, this magnetically controlled injectable hydrogel exhibits significant promise as a minimally invasive, rapid gelling and effective treatment for regenerating various aligned human tissues.

Effectiveness of a Nanohydroxyapatite-Based Hydrogel on Alveolar Bone Regeneration in Post-Extraction Sockets of Dogs with Naturally Occurring Periodontitis.

Project description:Pathological mandibular fracture after dental extraction usually occurs in dogs with moderate to severe periodontitis. A nanohydroxyapatite-based hydrogel (HAP hydrogel) was developed to diminish the limitations of hydroxyapatite for post-extraction socket preservation (PSP). However, the effect of the HAP hydrogel in dogs has still not been widely investigated. Moreover, there are few studies on PSP in dogs suffering from clinical periodontitis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the HAP hydrogel for PSP in dogs with periodontitis. In five dogs with periodontitis, the first molar (309 and 409) of each hemimandible was extracted. Consequently, all the ten sockets were filled with HAP-hydrogel. Intraoral radiography was performed on the day of operation and 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks post operation. The Kruskal-Wallis test and paired t-test were adopted for alveolar bone regeneration analysis. The results demonstrated that the radiographic grading, bone height measurement, and bone regeneration analysis were positively significant at all follow-up times compared to the day of operation. Moreover, the scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy imaging after immersion showed a homogeneous distribution of apatite formation on the hydrogel surface. Our investigation suggested that the HAP hydrogel effectively enhances socket regeneration in dogs with periodontitis and can be applied as a bone substitute for PSP in veterinary dentistry.

Injectable Magnesium-Zinc Alloy Containing Hydrogel Complex for Bone Regeneration.

Project description:Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) has been widely used in bone engineering. It can also be filled into the calvarial defects with irregular shape. However, lack of osteoinductive capacity limits its potential as a candidate repair material for calvarial defects. In this study, we developed an injectable magnesium-zinc alloy containing hydrogel complex (Mg-IHC), in which the alloy was fabricated in an atomization process and had small sphere, regular shape, and good fluidity. Mg-IHC can be injected and plastically shaped. After cross-linking, it contents the elastic modulus similar to GelMA, and has inner holes suitable for nutrient transportation. Furthermore, Mg-IHC showed promising biocompatibility according to our evaluations of its cell adhesion, growth status, and proliferating activity. The results of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining, alizarin red staining, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) further indicated that Mg-IHC could significantly promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and upregulate the genetic expression of collagen I (COL-I), osteocalcin (OCN), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). Finally, after applied to a mouse model of critical-sized calvarial defect, Mg-IHC remarkably enhanced bone formation at the defect site. All of these results suggest that Mg-IHC can promote bone regeneration and can be potentially considered as a candidate for calvarial defect repairing.

Self-Healing and Injectable Hydrogel for Matching Skin Flap Regeneration.

Project description:The fabrication of highly biocompatible hydrogels with multiple unique healing abilities for the whole healing process, for example, multifunctional hydrogels with injectable, degradation, antibacterial, antihypoxic, and wound healing-promoting properties that match the dynamic healing process of skin flap regeneration, is currently a research challenge. Here, a multifunctional and dynamic coordinative polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel with mangiferin liposomes (MF-Lip@PEG) is developed for clinical applications through Ag-S coordination of four-arm-PEG-SH and Ag+. Compared to MF-PEG, MF-Lip@PEG exhibits self-healing properties, lower swelling percentages, and a longer endurance period. Moreover, the hydrogel exhibits excellent drug dispersibility and release characteristics for slow and persistent drug delivery. In vitro studies show that the hydrogel is biocompatible and nontoxic to cells, and exerts an outstanding neovascularization-promoting effect. The MF-Lip@PEG also exhibits a strong cytoprotective effect against hypoxia-induced apoptosis through regulation of the Bax/Bcl-2/caspase-3 pathway. In a random skin flap animal model, the MF-Lip@PEG is injectable and convenient to deliver into the skin flap, providing excellent anti-inflammation, anti-infection, and proneovascularization effects and significantly reducing the skin flap necrosis rate. In general, the MF-Lip@PEG possesses outstanding multifunctionality for the dynamic healing process of skin flap regeneration.

Prolyl 4-hydroxylase.

Project description:Posttranslational modifications can cause profound changes in protein function. Typically, these modifications are reversible, and thus provide a biochemical on-off switch. In contrast, proline residues are the substrates for an irreversible reaction that is the most common posttranslational modification in humans. This reaction, which is catalyzed by prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H), yields (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline (Hyp). The protein substrates for P4Hs are diverse. Likewise, the biological consequences of prolyl hydroxylation vary widely, and include altering protein conformation and protein-protein interactions, and enabling further modification. The best known role for Hyp is in stabilizing the collagen triple helix. Hyp is also found in proteins with collagen-like domains, as well as elastin, conotoxins, and argonaute 2. A prolyl hydroxylase domain protein acts on the hypoxia inducible factor alpha, which plays a key role in sensing molecular oxygen, and could act on inhibitory kappaB kinase and RNA polymerase II. P4Hs are not unique to animals, being found in plants and microbes as well. Here, we review the enzymic catalysts of prolyl hydroxylation, along with the chemical and biochemical consequences of this subtle but abundant posttranslational modification.

Injectable bioorthogonal hydrogel (BIOGEL) accelerates tissue regeneration in degenerated intervertebral discs.

Project description:Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a leading cause of back pain and precursor to more severe conditions, including disc herniation and spinal stenosis. While traditional growth factor therapies (e.g., TGFβ) are effective at transiently reversing degenerated disc by stimulation of matrix synthesis, it is increasingly accepted that bioscaffolds are required for sustained, complete IVD regeneration. Current scaffolds (e.g., metal/polymer composites, non-mammalian biopolymers) can be improved in one or more IVD regeneration demands: biodegradability, noninvasive injection, recapitulated healthy IVD biomechanics, predictable crosslinking, and matrix repair induction. To meet these demands, tetrazine-norbornene bioorthogonal ligation was combined with gelatin to create an injectable bioorthogonal hydrogel (BIOGEL). The liquid hydrogel precursors remain free-flowing across a wide range of temperatures and crosslink into a robust hydrogel after 5-10 min, allowing a human operator to easily inject the therapeutic constructs into degenerated IVD. Moreover, BIOGEL encapsulation of TGFβ potentiated histological repair (e.g., tissue architecture and matrix synthesis) and functional recovery (e.g., high water retention by promoting the matrix synthesis and reduced pain) in an in vivo rat IVD degeneration/nucleotomy model. This BIOGEL procedure readily integrates into existing nucleotomy procedures, indicating that clinical adoption should proceed with minimal difficulty. Since bioorthogonal crosslinking is essentially non-reactive towards biomolecules, our developed material platform can be extended to other payloads and degenerative injuries.

Injectable Alginate-Peptide Composite Hydrogel as a Scaffold for Bone Tissue Regeneration.

Project description:The high demand for tissue engineering scaffolds capable of inducing bone regeneration using minimally invasive techniques prompts the need for the development of new biomaterials. Herein, we investigate the ability of Alginate incorporated with the fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-diphenylalanine (FmocFF) peptide composite hydrogel to serve as a potential biomaterial for bone regeneration. We demonstrate that the incorporation of the self-assembling peptide, FmocFF, in sodium alginate leads to the production of a rigid, yet injectable, hydrogel without the addition of cross-linking agents. Scanning electron microscopy reveals a nanofibrous structure which mimics the natural bone extracellular matrix. The formed composite hydrogel exhibits thixotropic behavior and a high storage modulus of approximately 10 kPA, as observed in rheological measurements. The in vitro biocompatibility tests carried out with MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells demonstrate good cell viability and adhesion to the hydrogel fibers. This composite scaffold can induce osteogenic differentiation and facilitate calcium mineralization, as shown by Alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase activity and RT-PCR analysis. The high biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and similarity to the native extracellular matrix suggest the utilization of this hydrogel as a temporary three-dimensional cellular microenvironment promoting bone regeneration.

Injectable hydrogel systems with multiple biophysical and biochemical cues for bone regeneration.

Project description:Bone regeneration is a complex process in which angiogenesis and osteogenesis are crucial. Introducing multiple angiogenic and osteogenic cues simultaneously into a single system and tuning these cues to optimize the niche remains a challenge for bone tissue engineering. Herein, based on our injectable biomimetic hydrogels composed of silk nanofibers (SNF) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA), deferoxamine (DFO) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) were loaded on SNF and HA to introduce more angiogenic and osteogenic cues. The angiogenesis and osteogenesis capacity of injectable hydrogels could be regulated by tuning the delivery of DFO and BMP-2 independently, resulting in vascularization and bone regeneration in cranial defects. The angiogenesis and osteogenesis outcomes accelerated the regeneration of vascularized bones toward similar composition and structure to natural bones. Therefore, the multiple biophysical and chemical cues provided by the nanofibrous structures, organic-inorganic compositions, and chemical and biochemical angiogenic and osteogenic inducing cues suggest the potential for clinical applicability of these hydrogels in bone tissue engineering.
