Project description:Biomaterial properties can be tailored for specific applications via systematic and high-throughput screening of biomaterial–cell interactions. However, progress in material development is often hampered by the lack of adequate in vitro testing methods, frequently due to incomplete understanding of involved in vivo mechanisms. In line with drug discovery in pharmacology, a crucial step in assay development for biomaterial screening is the identification of a target to direct the screen against. Herein, the cell type to be used for screening is of essential importance and has to be carefully chosen. So far, few attention has been put on selecting a cell type specifically suitable for in vitro testing of materials for predefined applications. In this manuscript, we describe an approach to define a suitable cell type for screening assays, for which biomaterials for bone regeneration served as example. Using a bioinformatics methodology, different cell lines are compared on three well-characterized model materials. The transcriptional profiles of MG63, iMSC, SV-HFO, hPPCT, hBPCT and SW480 cells are assessed on 3 calcium phosphate-based materials to evaluate their potential application in a screening assay. We show that MG63 is the most suitable cell line to evaluate biomaterials for bone regeneration applications, evidenced by their robust gene expression differences between the 3 model materials. The gene expression differences between the cell lines were assessed based on the overall gene expression profiles and specific subsets of genes and pathways related to osteogenesis and bone homeostasis in response to the 3 materials tested. In the next phase, this cell line will be used to identify a target correlating with in vivo biomaterial performance and henceforth to develop an in vitro screening system.

Project description:Neutrophil homeostasis is maintained, in part, by the regulated release of neutrophils from the bone marrow. Constitutive expression of the chemokine CXCL12 by bone marrow stromal cells provides a key retention signal for neutrophils in the bone marrow through activation of its receptor CXCR4. Herein, we show that the ELR chemokines CXCL1 and CXCL2 are constitutively expressed by bone marrow endothelial cells and osteoblasts, and CXCL2 expression is induced in endothelial cells during granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced neutrophil mobilization. Neutrophils lacking CXCR2, the receptor for CXCL1 and CXCL2, are preferentially retained in the bone marrow, reproducing a myelokathexis phenotype. Transient disruption of CXCR4 failed to mobilize CXCR2 neutrophils. However, doubly deficient neutrophils (CXCR2-/- CXCR4-/-) displayed constitutive mobilization, showing that CXCR4 plays a dominant role. Collectively, these data suggest that CXCR2 signaling is a second chemokine axis that interacts antagonistically with CXCR4 to regulate neutrophil release from the bone marrow. We used gene expression microarrays to determine the changes in osteoblasts and bone marrow endothelial cells after G-CSF treatment. 3 untreated and G-CSF-treated osteoblast samples and 4 untreated and G-CSF-treated endothelial samples.

Project description:We use a subcutaneous biomaterial implant as a surrogate for sampling immune cells phenotypes in murine chronic EAE. These implants are microporous polycaprolactone scaffolds that form immunological niches that get vascularized and capture both innate and adaptive immune cells. These niches can be minimally invasively biopsied, allowing for multiple samples to be collected from the same mouse at various timepoints in disease: presymptomatic (Day 7) and early state disease (Day 9). This study investigates immune dynamics over time in subclinical and early stage chronic progressive EAE at a distal biomaterial-based immunological niche.

Project description:The bone-defect-repair process involves complex interaction between mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and immune cells, while the heterogeneity of osteoimmune microenvironment around implanted biomaterials remains elusive. By combining analysis of scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics technologies, we revealed that MgphiMSCs subpopulation served as the pioneers during the early stage of biomaterials-mediated bone defect healing process. They performed efficient osteogenic differentiation potential and had close interactions with immune cells. Remarkably, the MgphiMSCs could response to biomaterials-mediated osteoimmune microenvironment, rewired the polarization and osteoclastic differentiation of macrophages via midkine (MDK) signaling pathway. The inhibition of MDK activated the pro-inflammatory programs of macrophages and osteoclastogenesis. Meanwhile, multiple innate and adaptive immune-cell subsets exhibited close crosstalk between MgphiMSCs via SPP1 signaling pathway. These cellular profiles and interactions characterized in this study could broaden our understanding of the functional MSCs subpopulations at the early stage of biomaterial-mediated bone regeneration and provide the basis for the materials-designed strategies that target osteoimmune modulation.

Project description:Biomaterials play an increasing role in clinical applications and regenerative medicine. Modern biomaterials should imitate the function of damaged tissue without triggering an immune response, initiate self-regeneration of the body and gradually degrade after implantation. The immune system is now well recognized to play a major role in influencing the biocompatibility of implanted medical devices. To develop a better understanding of the effects of biomaterials on the immune response, we have developed a highly sensitive novel test system capable of examining changes in the immune system by biomaterial. Here, we evaluate for the first time the immunopeptidome, a highly sensitive system that reflects cancer transformation, virus or drug influences and passes these changes directly to T cells, as a test system to examine the effects of contact with materials. Since monocytes are one of the first immune cells reacting to biomaterials, we have tested the influence of different materials - stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, high-density polyethylene, polyurethane films containing zinc diethyldithiocarbamate, copper, and zinc sulphate - on the monocytic THP-1 cell line. Material-associated peptides were identified after stimulation with all material types examined. The magnitude of induced changes in the immunopeptidome after the stimulation appears comparable to that of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The source proteins of many detected peptides are associated with cytotoxicity, fibrosis, autoimmunity, inflammation and cellular stress. Considering all tested materials, it was found that the LPS-induced cytotoxicity-, inflammation- and cellular stress-associated HLA class I peptides were mainly induced by aluminum and HLA class II peptides mainly by stainless steel. These findings provide some of the first insights into the effects on the immunopeptidome by biomaterials. A more thorough understanding of these effects may enable the design of more biocompatible implant materials using in vitro models in future. This may be achieved through developing a deeper understanding of possible immune responses induced by biomaterials such as fibrosis, inflammation, cytotoxicity, and autoimmune reactions.

Project description:Here we report the reprogramming of human fibroblasts to produce chemically-induced osteogenic cells (ciOG), and explore the potential uses of ciOG in bone repair and disease treatment. A chemical cocktail of RepSox, forskolin, and phenamil was used for osteogenic induction of fibroblasts by activation of RUNX2 expression. Following a maturation, the cells differentiated toward an osteoblast phenotype that produced mineralized tissue. When generated on a nanofiber substrate ciOG accelerated osteogenic gene expressions and mineralization compared to PCL film followed by bone matrix formation in a calvarial defect, indicating that the engineered biomaterial promotes the osteogenic capacity of ciOG in vivo.

Project description:Upon contact with a biomaterial, cells and surrounding tissues respond in a manner dictated by the physicochemical and mechanical properties of the material. Traditionally, cellular responses are monitored using invasive analytical methods that report the expression of genes or proteins. These analytical methods involve assessing commonly used markers for a predefined readout, masking the actual situation induced in the cells. Hence, a broader expression profile of the cellular response should be envisioned, which technically limits up scaling to higher throughput systems. However, it is increasingly recognized that morphometric readouts, obtained non-invasively, are related to gene expression patterns. Here, we introduced distinct surface roughness to three PLA surfaces, by exposure to oxygen plasma of different duration times. The response of mesenchymal stromal cells was compared to smooth untreated PLA surfaces without the addition of differentiation agents. Morphological and genome wide expression profiles revealed underlying cellular changes which was hidden for the commonly used gene markers for osteo-, chondro- and adipogenesis. Using 3 morphometric parameters, obtained by high content imaging, we were able to build a classifier and discriminate between oxygen plasma-induced modified sheets and non-modified PLA sheets where evaluating classical candidates missed this effect. This approach shows the feasibility to use noninvasive morphometric data in high-throughput systems to screen biomaterial surfaces indicating the underlying genetic biomaterial-induced changes.
