A Mitochondrial-Based Transfer and Metabolic Remodeling Hydrogel with Immune Responsiveness to Augmented Bone Regeneration

ABSTRACT: Intercellular mitochondrial transfer has recently been discovered as a strategy for local microenvironment regulation and repair. However, improving the efficiency of mitochondrial transfer and reducing immune rejection caused by implants is challenging for its application in bone regeneration tissue engineering. We found that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC)s can obtain mitochondria from macrophages through tunnel nanotubes (TNT)s. Mitochondria are crucial for the metabolism and function of BMSC. We further designed a composite hydrogel based on aldehyde sodium hyaluronate and chitosan as the network matrix, containing anti-inflammatory dimethyl itaconate (DMI) and macrophage-targeted zwitterionic nanoparticles (MDVNPs). The acidic bone injury microenvironment triggers a reversible Schiff base reaction in response to pH; further, the released DMI upregulates the M2 phenotype of macrophages by reducing the ROS level. Subsequently, MDVNPs with targeting, high transfection, and low immunogenicity accelerated the efficiency of mitochondrial transfer between macrophages and BMSC by increasing the expression of the mitochondrial transfer regulatory protein Rho GTPase 1 (Miro1). In vitro studies have confirmed that promoting mitochondrial transfer can effectively increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) levels in BMSC, promoting osteoblastic differentiation. In the mouse model of critical defect, the composite hydrogel (Gel@MDI) can reduce inflammatory reactions, improve energy metabolism, and enhance bone repair by promoting the balance between the immune system and bone metabolism. This study establishes a potential method for the immune microenvironment to enhance cellular mitochondrial bioenergy and achieve tissue regeneration by regulating mitochondrial transfer between cells.

Project description:Biomaterial-based bone tissue engineering offers a promising prospect for the treatment of bone defects. In particular, the ability of biomaterials to regulate the immune microenvironment of the defect site is essential for effective bone regeneration. Electro-biomaterials have been confirmed to induce macrophage M2 polarization through metabolic pathways, thereby enhancing bone regeneration. Considering the central role of mitochondria in cellular metabolism and their ability to influence the function of neighboring cells through intercellular transfer, and inspired by the fact that tumor cells can uptake mitochondria from immune cells to generate energy, we hypothesize that the metabolic activation of immune cells by electro-materials can be transmitted to preosteoblasts through mitochondria to promote bone repair. Therefore, this study proposed a conductive micro-hydrogel (CMH) system composed of conductive hydrogel microspheres made from GelMA and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), which served as scaffolds for defect filling, and a biomimetic periosteum made from poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) and polydopamine (PDA) for microsphere immobilization and isolation of soft tissue. The microspheres exhibited excellent tissue support and degradation properties, their high specific surface area enhanced tissue remodeling, and their good conductivity eliminated free radicals and induced macrophage M2 polarization, which were confirmed by tests of mechanical property, swelling and degradation, conductivity and assays of cellular biocompatibility, ROS generation, and macrophage phenotype. In vivo experiments using a rat mandibular defect model confirmed the excellent bone repair capabilities of the CMH system, and transcriptomics, metabolomics, and metabolic testing revealed that the CMH system upregulated the oxidative phosphorylation pathway of macrophage, enhancing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. Mitochondrial tracing experiments demonstrated the transfer of macrophage mitochondria to preosteoblasts, resulting in enhanced metabolic activity and osteogenic differentiation of preosteoblasts. This study may be the first suggest that conductive biomaterials facilitate osteogenic immunomodulation through mitochondrial transfer, which provides a promising method for regulating the immune microenvironment and reveals a novel pathway by which M2 macrophages enhance osteogenesis.
