3D-printed titanium implant combined with interleukin 4 regulates ordered macrophage polarization to promote bone regeneration and angiogenesis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The use of 3D-printed titanium implant (DT) can effectively guide bone regeneration. DT triggers a continuous host immune reaction, including macrophage type 1 polarization, that resists osseointegration. Interleukin 4 (IL4) is a specific cytokine modulating osteogenic capability that switches macrophage polarization type 1 to type 2, and this switch favours bone regeneration.

Methods

IL4 at concentrations of 0, 30, and 100 ng/ml was used at day 3 to create a biomimetic environment for bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell (BMMSC) osteogenesis and macrophage polarization on the DT. The osteogenic and immune responses of BMMSCs and macrophages were evaluated respectively.

Results

DT plus 30 ng/ml of IL4 (DT + 30 IL4) from day 3 to day 7 significantly (p < 0.01) enhanced macrophage type 2 polarization and BMMSC osteogenesis compared with the other groups. Local injection of IL4 enhanced new bone formation surrounding the DT.

Conclusion

DT + 30 IL4 may switch macrophage polarization at the appropriate timepoints to promote bone regeneration. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2021;10(7):411-424.

3D-printed bredigite scaffolds with ordered arrangement structures promote bone regeneration by inducing macrophage polarization in onlay grafts.

Project description:Bone tissue engineering scaffolds may provide a potential strategy for onlay bone grafts for oral implants. For determining the fate of scaffold biomaterials and osteogenesis effects, the host immune response is crucial. In the present study, bredigite (BRT) bioceramic scaffolds with an ordered arrangement structure (BRT-O) and a random morphology (BRT-R) were fabricated. The physicochemical properties of scaffolds were first characterized by scanning electron microscopy, mechanical test and micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, their osteogenic and immunomodulatory properties in an onlay grafting model were investigated. In vitro, the BRT-O scaffolds facilitated the macrophage polarization towards a pro-regenerative M2 phenotype, which subsequently facilitated the migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo, an onlay grafting model was successfully established in the cranium of rabbits. In addition, the BRT-O scaffolds grafted on rabbit cranium promoted bone regeneration and CD68 + CD206 + M2 macrophage polarization. In conclusion, the 3D-printed BRT-O scaffold presents as a promising scaffold biomaterial for onlay grafts by regulating the local immune microenvironment.

3D-printed dermis-specific extracellular matrix mitigates scar contraction via inducing early angiogenesis and macrophage M2 polarization.

Project description:Scar contraction frequently happens in patients with deep burn injuries. Hitherto, porcine dermal extracellular matrix (dECM) has supplied microenvironments that assist in wound healing but fail to inhibit scar contraction. To overcome this drawback, we integrate dECM into three-dimensional (3D)-printed dermal analogues (PDA) to prevent scar contraction. We have developed thermally gelled, non-rheologically modified dECM powder (dECMp) inks and successfully transformed them into PDA that was endowed with a micron-scale spatial structure. The optimal crosslinked PDA exhibited desired structure, good mechanical properties as well as excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, in vivo experiments demonstrated that PDA could significantly reduced scar contraction and improved cosmetic upshots of split thickness skin grafts (STSG) than the commercially available dermal templates and STSG along. The PDA has also induced an early, intense neovascularization, and evoked a type-2-like immune response. PDA's superior beneficial effects may attribute to their desired porous structure, the well-balanced physicochemical properties, and the preserved dermis-specific ECM cues, which collectively modulated the expression of genes such as Wnt11, ATF3, and IL1β, and influenced the crucial endogenous signalling pathways. The findings of this study suggest that PDA is a clinical translatable material that possess high potential in reducing scar contraction.

Efficacy of 3D-Printed Titanium Mesh-Type Patient-Specific Implant for Cranioplasty.

Project description:ObjectiveAutologous bone grafting for cranioplasty is associated with a high infection rate and bone absorption. Synthetic implant materials for cranioplasty have been developed. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of titanium mesh-type patient-specific implants (PSIs) for patients with skull defects using the dice similarity coefficient (DSC), clinical outcomes, and artifacts caused by implants.MethodsThis retrospective study included 40 patients who underwent cranioplasty with a titanium mesh PSI at our institution. Based on preoperative and postoperative computed tomography scans, we calculated DSC and artifacts.ResultsThe calculated DSC of 40 patients was 0.75, and the noise was 13.89% higher in the region of interest (ROI) near the implanted side (average, 7.64 hounsfield unit [HU]±2.62) than in the normal bone (average, 6.72 HU±2.35). However, the image signal-to-noise ratio did not significantly differ between the ROI near the implanted side (4.77±1.78) and normal bone (4.97±1.88). The patients showed no significant perioperative complications that required a secondary operation.ConclusionTitanium mesh-type PSIs for cranioplasty have excellent DSC values with lower artifacts and complication rates.

Titanium Particles Modulate Lymphocyte and Macrophage Polarization in Peri-Implant Gingival Tissues.

Project description:Titanium dental implants are one of the modalities to replace missing teeth. The release of titanium particles from the implant's surface may modulate the immune cells, resulting in implant failure. However, little is known about the immune microenvironment that plays a role in peri-implant inflammation as a consequence of titanium particles. In this study, the peri-implant gingival tissues were collected from patients with failed implants, successful implants and no implants, and then a whole transcriptome analysis was performed. The gene set enrichment analysis confirmed that macrophage M1/M2 polarization and lymphocyte proliferation were differentially expressed between the study groups. The functional clustering and pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes between the failed implants and successful implants versus no implants revealed that the immune response pathways were the most common in both comparisons, implying the critical role of infiltrating immune cells in the peri-implant tissues. The H&E and IHC staining confirmed the presence of titanium particles and immune cells in the tissue samples, with an increase in the infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages in the failed implant samples. The in vitro validation showed a significant increase in the level of IL-1β, IL-8 and IL-18 expression by macrophages. Our findings showed evidence that titanium particles modulate lymphocyte and macrophage polarization in peri-implant gingival tissues, which can help in the understanding of the imbalance in osteoblast-osteoclast activity and failure of dental implant osseointegration.

Custom 3D-printed Titanium Implant for Reconstruction of a Composite Chest and Abdominal Wall Defect.

Project description:BackgroundThree-dimensional (3D) printing of implantable materials is a recent technological advance that is available for clinical application. The most common medical application of 3D printing in plastic surgery is in the field of craniomaxillofacial surgery. There have been few applications of this technology in other areas.MethodsHere, we discuss a case of a large, symptomatic composite thoracic and abdominal defect resulting from the resection of a chondrosarcoma of the costal marginand sections of the abdominal wall, diaphragm, and sternum. The initial and second attempts at reconstruction failed, resulting in a massive hernia. Given the size of the defect, the contiguity with a large abdominal wall defect, and the high risk of recurrence, a rigid thoracic reconstruction was essential to durably repair the thoracic hernia and serve as a scaffold to which both the diaphragm and the abdominal mesh could be secured. A custom-made plate offered the most durable and anatomically accurate reconstruction in this particular clinical scenario. This technology was used in concert with a single section of coated mesh for reconstruction of the diaphragm, chest wall, and abdominal wall.ResultsThere were no post-operative complications. The patient has improvement of his symptoms and increased functional capacity. There is no evidence of hernia recurrence 1.5 years after repair.Conclusions3D printing technology proved to be a useful and effective application for reconstruction of this large thoracic defect involving the costal margin. It is an available technology that should be considered for reconstruction of rigid structures with defect-specific precision.

3D printed strontium-doped calcium phosphate ceramic scaffold enhances early angiogenesis and promotes bone repair through the regulation of macrophage polarization.

Project description:The vascularization of bone repair materials is one of the key issues that urgently need to be addressed in the process of bone repair. The changes in macrophage phenotype and function play an important role in the process of vascularization, and endowing bone repair materials with immune regulatory characteristics to enhance angiogenesis is undoubtedly a new strategy to improve the effectiveness of bone repair. In order to improve the effect of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on vascularization and bone repair, we doped strontium ions (Sr) into TCP (SrTCP) and prepared porous 3D printed SrTCP scaffolds using 3D printing technology, and studied the scaffold mediated macrophage polarization and subsequent vascularization and bone regeneration. The results of the interaction between the scaffold and macrophages showed that the SrTCP scaffold can promote the polarization of macrophages from M1 to M2 and secrete high concentrations of VEGF and PDGF-bb cytokines, which shows excellent angiogenic potential. When human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with macrophage-conditioned medium of SrTCP scaffold, HUVECs exhibited excellent early angiogenesis-promoting effects in terms of scratch healing, angiogenic gene expression, and in vitro tube formation performance. The results of in vivo bone repair experiments showed that the SrTCP scaffold formed a vascular network with high density and quantity in the bone defect area, which could increase the rate of new bone formation and advance the period of bone formation, and finally achieved a better bone repair effect. We observed a cascade effect in which Sr-doped SrTCP scaffold regulate macrophage polarization to enhance angiogenesis and promote bone repair, which may provide a new strategy for the repair of clinical bone defects.

Interleukin-18 Amplifies Macrophage Polarization and Morphological Alteration, Leading to Excessive Angiogenesis.

Project description:M2 macrophage (M?) promotes pathologic angiogenesis through a release of pro-angiogenic mediators or the direct cell-cell interaction with endothelium in the micromilieu of several chronic inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and cancer, where interleukin (IL)-18 also contributes to excessive angiogenesis. However, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanism by which M2 M?s in the micromilieu containing IL-18 induce excessive angiogenesis in the in vitro experimental model using mouse M?-like cell line, RAW264.7 cells, and mouse endothelial cell line, b.End5 cells. We discovered that IL-18 acts synergistically with IL-10 to amplify the production of M?-derived mediators like osteopontin (OPN) and thrombin, yielding thrombin-cleaved form of OPN generation, which acts through integrins ?4/?9, thereby augmenting M2 polarization of M? with characteristics of increasing surface CD163 expression in association with morphological alteration. Furthermore, the results of visualizing temporal behavior and morphological alteration of M?s during angiogenesis demonstrated that M2-like M?s induced excessive angiogenesis through the direct cell-cell interaction with endothelial cells, possibly mediated by CD163.

Osseointegrability of 3D-printed porous titanium alloy implant on tibial shaft bone defect in rabbit model.

Project description:Previous studies have demonstrated the ability of osseointegration of porous titanium implants in cancellous bone. Our study was designed to (i) investigate the ability of bone ingrowth into 3D-printed porous titanium alloy implant on the cortical bone of rabbits using CT-scan and histology, and (ii) to identify the consistency of the radiology information between clinical Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and Micro Computed Tomography (μCT) in the evaluation of bone ingrowth. The porous titanium alloy implants were 3D-printed employing the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) technology with an intended pore size of 600 μm and porosity of approximately 50 percent. Each implant was inserted into tibial diaphysis in one rabbit and its pores were classified as contacting bone or non-contacting bone. Depending on the time of explantation, the rabbits were divided into two groups: group 1 consisting of 6 rabbits between 13 and 20 weeks and group 2 consisting of 6 rabbits between 26 and 32 weeks. Tissue ingrowth into the non-bone contacting pores were evaluated by CBCT and histology. μCT was used to further investigate the bone ingrowth into four implants (two from each group were randomly chosen). The CBCT detected the present of tissue with bone-like density in both bone-contacting pores and non-bone-contacting pores of all implants. The μCT analysis also supported this result. All the bone-like tissues were then histologically confirmed to be mature bone. The analysis of CBCT data to assess bone ingrowth in porous implants had the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of 85, 84, 93 and 70 percent, respectively, when considering μCT assessment as the gold standard. Fully porous titanium alloy implant has great potential to reconstruct diaphyseal bone defect due to its good ability of osseointegration. CBCT is a promising method for evaluation of bone ingrowth into porous implants.

Electrochemiluminescence at 3D Printed Titanium Electrodes.

Project description:The fabrication and electrochemical properties of a 3D printed titanium electrode array are described. The array comprises 25 round cylinders (0.015 cm radius, 0.3 cm high) that are evenly separated on a 0.48 × 0.48 cm square porous base (total geometric area of 1.32 cm2). The electrochemically active surface area consists of fused titanium particles and exhibits a large roughness factor ≈17. In acidic, oxygenated solution, the available potential window is from ~-0.3 to +1.2 V. The voltammetric response of ferrocyanide is quasi-reversible arising from slow heterogeneous electron transfer due to the presence of a native/oxidatively formed oxide. Unlike other metal electrodes, both [Ru(bpy)3]1+ and [Ru(bpy)3]3+ can be created in aqueous solutions which enables electrochemiluminescence to be generated by an annihilation mechanism. Depositing a thin gold layer significantly increases the standard heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant, ko, by a factor of ~80 to a value of 8.0 ± 0.4 × 10-3 cm s-1 and the voltammetry of ferrocyanide becomes reversible. The titanium and gold coated arrays generate electrochemiluminescence using tri-propyl amine as a co-reactant. However, the intensity of the gold-coated array is between 30 (high scan rate) and 100-fold (slow scan rates) higher at the gold coated arrays. Moreover, while the voltammetry of the luminophore is dominated by semi-infinite linear diffusion, the ECL response is significantly influenced by radial diffusion to the individual microcylinders of the array.
