N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMA) is FDA approved as an excipient and is used as drug-delivery vehicle. Due to its amphipathic nature and diverse bioactivities, it appears to be a good combination of biodegradable poly-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA)-based guided bone regeneration membranes. Here we show that the solvent DMA can be loaded to PLGA membranes by different regimes, leading to distinct release profiles, and enhancing the bone regeneration in vivo. Our results highlight the potential therapeutic benefits of DMA in guided bone regeneration procedures, in combination with biodegradable PLGA membranes.

Defect Site

To promote bone regeneration in vivo using critical-size calvarial defect model, hybrid hydrogel was prepared by mixing chitosan with hydroxyapatite (HA) and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in situ. The hydrosoluble, UV-crosslinkable and injectable N-methacryloyl chitosan (N-MAC) was synthesized via single-step N-acylation reaction. The chemical structure was confirmed by 1H-NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. N-MAC hydrogel presented a microporous structure with pore sizes ranging from 10 to 60 μm. Approximately 80% cell viability of N-MAC hydrogel against encapsulated 3T3 cell indicated that N-MAC is an emerging candidate for mimicking native extracellular matrix (ECM). N-MAC hydrogel hybridized with HA was used to accelerate regeneration of calvarial bone using rabbit model. The effects of hybrid hydrogels to promote bone regeneration were evaluated using critical size calvarial bone defect model. The healing effects of injectable hydrogels with/without HA for bone regeneration were investigated by analyzing X-ray image after 4 or 6 weeks. The results showed that the regenerated new bone for N-MAC 100 was significantly greater than N-MAC without HA and untreated controls. The higher HA content in N-MAC/HA hybrid hydrogel benefited the acceleration of bone regeneration. About 50% closure of defect site after 6 weeks postimplantation demonstrated potent osteoinductivity of N-MAC 100 UV-crosslinkable and injectable N-MAC/HA hybrid hydrogel would allow serving as a promising biomaterial for bone regeneration using the critical-size calvarial defect.

In Vivo Evaluation

Alendronate (ALN) is a bisphosphonate drug that is widely used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Furthermore, local delivery of ALN has the potential to improve the bone regeneration. This study was designed to investigate an ALN-containing fibrin (fibrin/ALN) gel and evaluate the effect of this gel on both in vitro cellular behavior using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and in vivo bone regenerative capacity. Fibrin hydrogels were fabricated using various ALN concentrations (10−7–10−4 M) with fibrin glue and the morphology, mechanical properties, and ALN release kinetics were characterized. Proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of and cytotoxicity in fibrin/ALN gel-embedded hMSCs were examined. In vivo bone formation was evaluated using a rabbit calvarial defect model. The fabricated fibrin/ALN gel was transparent with Young’s modulus of ~13 kPa, and these properties were not affected by ALN concentration. The in vitro studies showed sustained release of ALN from the fibrin gel and revealed that hMSCs cultured in fibrin/ALN gel showed significantly increased proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. In addition, microcomputed tomography and histological analysis revealed that the newly formed bone was significantly enhanced by implantation of fibrin/ALN gel in a calvarial defect model. These results suggest that fibrin/ALN has the potential to improve bone regeneration.

Optogenetic Control

Abstract Background The spatiotemporal regulation of essential genes is crucial for controlling the growth and differentiation of cells in a precise manner during regeneration. Recently, optogenetics was considered as a potent technology for sophisticated regulation of target genes, which might be a promising tool for regenerative medicine. In this study, we used an optogenetic control system to precisely regulate the expression of Lhx8 to promote efficient bone regeneration. Methods Quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting were used to detect the expression of Lhx8 and osteogenic marker genes. Alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining were used to detect alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium nodules. A customized optogenetic expression system was constructed to regulate Lhx8, of which the expression was activated in blue light but not in dark. We also used a critical calvarial defect model for the analysis of bone regeneration in vivo. Moreover, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), three-dimensional reconstruction, quantitative bone measurement, and histological and immunohistochemistry analysis were performed to investigate the formation of new bone in vivo. Results During the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, the expression levels of Lhx8 increased initially but then decreased thereafter. Lhx8 promoted the early proliferation of BMSCs but inhibited subsequent osteogenic differentiation. The optogenetic activation of Lhx8 in BMSCs in the early stages of differentiation by blue light stimulation led to a significant increase in cell proliferation, thus allowing a sufficient number of differentiating BMSCs to enter the later osteogenic differentiation stage. Analysis of the critical calvarial defect model revealed that the pulsed optogenetic activation of Lhx8 in transplanted BMSCs over a 5-day period led to a significant increase in the generation of bone in vivo. Conclusions Lhx8 plays a critical role in balancing proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs. The optogenetic activation of Lhx8 expression at early stage of BMSCs differentiation led to better osteogenesis, which would be a promising strategy for precise bone regeneration.

In Vivo Efficacy

Reconstruction of bone due to surgical removal or disease-related bony defects is a clinical challenge. It is known that the immune system exerts positive immunomodulatory effects on tissue repair and regeneration. In this study, we evaluated the in vivo efficacy of autologous neutrophils on bone regeneration using a rabbit calvarial defect model. Methods: Twelve rabbits, each with two surgically created calvarial bone defects (10 mm diameter), were randomly divided into two groups; (i) single application of neutrophils (SA-NP) vs. SA-NP control, and (ii) repetitive application of neutrophils (RA-NP) vs. RA-NP control. The animals were euthanized at 4 and 8 weeks post-operatively and the treatment outcomes were evaluated by micro-computed tomography, histology, and histomorphometric analyses. Results: The micro-CT analysis showed a significantly higher bone volume fraction (bone volume/total volume) in the neutrophil-treated groups, i.e., median interquartile range (IQR) SA-NP (18) and RA-NP (24), compared with the untreated controls, i.e., SA-NP (7) and RA-NP (14) at 4 weeks (p < 0.05). Similarly, new bone area fraction (bone area/total area) was significantly higher in neutrophil-treated groups at 4 weeks (p < 0.05). Both SA-NP and RA-NP had a considerably higher bone volume and bone area at 8 weeks, although the difference was not statistically significant. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis at 8 weeks revealed a higher expression of osteocalcin in both SA-NP and RA-NP groups. Conclusions: The present study provides first hand evidence that autologous neutrophils may have a positive effect on promoting new bone formation. Future studies should be performed with a larger sample size in non-human primate models. If proven feasible, this new promising strategy could bring clinical benefits for bone defects to the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
