Project description:Regenerating critical-sized long bone defects poses substantial challenges due to limitations of autografts and processed allografts. Biomaterial scaffolds offer versatile alternatives, yet their effectiveness is often constrained by their limited innate osteoinductivity. While growth factors and cells can enhance osteoinduction, the inclusion of biologics in biomaterial scaffolds creates regulatory challenges for clinical translation. To address this, here we describe three-dimensional (3D) printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds for temporally controlled delivery of osteoimmunomodulatory amorphous calcium phosphate-chitosan nanoparticles (ACPC-NP). In vitro, the ACPC-NP exhibit concentration dependent effects on osteoblasts, monocytes, and osteoclasts. At increasing concentrations up to 500 μg/ml, these nanoparticles stimulate osteogenesis, modulate M2/M1 macrophage polarization, and inhibit osteoclast maturation and activity. Leveraging these concentration-dependent effects in vivo through temporally controlled release of ACPC-NP from 3D-printed PCL scaffolds, we observe the complete regeneration and the restoration of biomechanical strength of critically sized radial defects in rats. Such healing is absent in defects implanted with bare PCL scaffolds or those loaded with calcium-phosphate microparticles. The tunable osteoimmunomodulation by the NP underscore the translational potential of this technology to yield structurally sound and functionally robust bone regeneration outcomes.

Project description:Rotator cuff tears are the most common conditions in sports medicine and attract increasing attention. Scar tissue healing at the tendon-bone interface results in a high rate of retears, making it a major challenge to enhance the healing of the rotator cuff tendon-bone interface. Biomaterials currently employed for tendon-bone healing in rotator cuff tears still exhibit limited efficacy. 3D printing, a promising technology, enables the customization of scaffold shapes and properties. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have multi-differentiation potential and valuable immunomodulatory effects. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), known for its role in proliferation, has been reported to promote osteogenesis. These properties make them applicable in tissue engineering. In this study, we developed a 3D-printed PCL scaffold loaded with bFGF and BMSCs (PCLMF) to restore the tendon-bone interface and regulate the local inflammatory microenvironment. The PCLMF scaffolds significantly improved the biomechanical strength, histological score, and local bone mineral density at regenerated entheses at 2 weeks post-surgery and achieved optimal performance at 8 weeks. Furthermore, PCLMF scaffolds facilitated BMSC osteogenic differentiation and suppressed adipogenic differentiation both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, RNA-seq showed that PCLMF scaffolds could regulate macrophage polarization and inflammation through the MAPK pathway. The implanted scaffold demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and biosafety. Therefore, this study proposes a promising and practical strategy for enhancing tendon-bone healing in rotator cuff tears.

Project description:3D printed scaffolds have been shown to be superior in promoting tissue repair, but the cell-level specific regulatory network activated by 3D printing scaffolds with different material components to form a symbiosis niche have not been systematically revealed. Here, three typical 3D printed scaffolds, including natural polymer hydrogel (Gelatin-methacryloyl, GelMA), synthetic polymer material (Polycaprolactone, PCL) and bioceramic (β-tricalcium phosphate, β-TCP), were fabricated to explore the regulating effect of the symbiotic microenvironment during bone healing. Enrichment analysis showed that hydrogel promotes tissue regeneration and reconstruction by improving blood vessel generation by enhancing oxygen transport and red blood cell development. The PCL scaffold regulates cell proliferation and differentiation by promoting cellular senescence, cell cycle and DNA replication pathways, accelerating the process of endochondral ossification and the formation of callus. The β-TCP scaffold can specifically enhance the expression of osteoclast differentiation and extracellular space pathway genes to promote the differentiation of osteoclasts and promote the process of bone remolding. In these processes, specific biomaterial properties can be used to guide cell behavior and regulate molecular network in the symbiotic microenvironment to reduce the barriers of regeneration and repair.

Project description:Retinal pigment epithelial cells differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), called iRPE, are being explored as a cell-based therapy for the treatment of retinal degenerative diseases, especially age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The success of RPE implantation is believed to be linked to the use of biomimetic scaffolds that simulate Bruch’s membrane and aid in its maturation and integration. Current practices widely utilize fibrous scaffolds from synthetic polymers, such as polycaprolactone (PCL), rather than from natural biomaterials. Here, we tested the hypothesis that naturally derived fibrous scaffolds, with their unique translational potential, can provide favorable conditions permissive for the maturation of iRPE in vitro. We show that the culture of iRPE on natural, soy protein-derived nanofibrous scaffolds match the results of similar cells cultured on synthetic PCL nanofibrous scaffolds. The mechanical properties of soy scaffolds better emulate the native Bruch’s membrane, which would likely limit the foreign body reaction triggered by mismatch of host and biomaterial strength. Additionally, soy scaffolds exhibit unique biochemistry that improves biocompatibility and have tunable crosslinking to control degradation rates. Comparative transcriptome analysis demonstrates that iRPE maturation on nanofibrous scaffolds, either natural or synthetic, yielded more consistent outcomes than on other non-fibrous substrates. Taken together, our studies suggest that the maturation of cultured RPE for subsequent clinical applications will benefit from the use of nanofibrous scaffolds derived from natural proteins.

Project description:RNA-seq data for: A conserved mito-cytoplasmic translational balance links two longevity pathways
| PRJNA503572 | ENA
Project description:Slowing down mRNA translation in either the cytoplasm or the mitochondria are both conserved longevity mechanisms. Here, we found a non-interventional natural correlation of mitochondrial and cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins when looking at mouse population genetics, suggesting a mito-cytoplasmic translational balance. Additionally, inhibiting mitochondrial translation in C. elegans in turn reduced cytoplasmic translation and repressed growth pathways while upregulating stress responses at both proteome and transcriptome levels. This coordinated repression of cytoplasmic translation is dependent on the atf-5/Atf4 transcription factor and is conserved in mammalian cells upon inhibiting mitochondrial translation pharmacologically with the antibiotic doxycycline. Lastly, extending this to a mammalian setting using doxycycline-treated germ-free mice, we found repressed cytoplasmic translation and ribosomal proteins in liver. These data demonstrate that inhibiting mitochondrial translation initiates a signaling cascade leading to coordinated repression of cytoplasmic translation, unlike previously described unidirectional cyto-to-mito translational communication in yeast, which can be targeted to promote healthy aging.

Project description:A major limitation in the development of effective scaffolds for bone regeneration has been the limited vascularization of the regenerating tissue. Here, we propose the development of a novel calcium phosphate cement (CPC)-based scaffold combining the properties of mesoporous silica (MS) with recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to facilitate vascularization and osteogenesis. Specifically, the development of a custom MS/CPC paste allowed the three-dimensional (3D) printing of scaffolds with a defined macroporous structure and optimized silicon (Si) ions release profile to promote the ingrowth of vascular tissue at an early stage after implantation in support of tissue viability and osteogenesis. In addition, the scaffold microstructure allowed the prolonged release of rhBMP-2, which in turn significantly stimulated the osteogenesis of human bone marrow stromal cells in vitro and of bone regeneration in vivo as shown in a rabbit femur defect repair model. Thus, the combination MS/CPC/rhBMP-2 scaffolds might provide a solution to issues of tissue necrosis during the regeneration process and therefore might be able to be readily developed into a useful tool for bone repair in the clinic.
