Immune reactions are a key factor in determining the destiny of bone substitute materials after implantation. Macrophages, the most vital factor in the immune response affecting implants, are critical in bone formation, as well as bone biomaterial-mediated bone repair. Therefore, it is critical to design materials with osteoimmunomodulatory properties to reduce host-to-material inflammatory responses by inducing macrophage polarization. Our previous study showed that calcium silicate (CS) bioceramics could significantly promote osteogenesis. Herein, we further investigated the effects of CS on the behavior of macrophages and how macrophages regulated osteogenesis. Under CS extract stimulation, the macrophage phenotype was converted to the M2 extreme. Stimulation by a macrophage-conditioned medium that was pretreated by CS extracts resulted in a significant enhancement of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), indicating the important role of macrophage polarization in biomaterial-induced osteogenesis. Mechanistically, oncostatin M (OSM) in the macrophage-conditioned medium promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through the ERK1/2 and JAK3 pathways. This study further demonstrated that CS bioceramics could stimulate osteogenesis better than β-TCP implants by accelerating new bone formation at defective sites in the femur. These findings improve our understanding of immune modulation of CS bioactive ceramics and facilitate strategies to improve the osteogenesis capability of bone substitute materials.
免疫反应是决定骨替代材料植入后命运的关键因素。巨噬细胞是影响植入物免疫反应的最重要因素,在骨形成以及骨生物材料介导的骨修复中起着关键作用。因此,设计具有骨免疫调节特性的材料以通过诱导巨噬细胞极化来减少宿主对材料的炎症反应至关重要。我们之前的研究表明硅酸钙(CS)生物陶瓷可以显著促进成骨。在此,我们进一步研究了CS对巨噬细胞行为的影响以及巨噬细胞如何调节成骨。在CS提取物刺激下,巨噬细胞表型转变为M2极端型。用CS提取物预处理的巨噬细胞条件培养基刺激导致骨髓间充质干细胞(BMSC)的成骨分化显著增强,表明巨噬细胞极化在生物材料诱导的成骨中起重要作用。机制上,巨噬细胞条件培养基中的抑瘤素M(OSM)通过ERK1/2和JAK3途径促进BMSC的成骨分化。这项研究进一步证明,CS生物陶瓷通过加速股骨缺损部位的新骨形成,比β-TCP植入物能更好地刺激成骨。这些发现增进了我们对CS生物活性陶瓷免疫调节的理解,并有助于改进骨替代材料成骨能力的策略。
