Using decellularized extracellular matrix is an appropriate approach to mimic natural microenvironment and facilitate tissue regeneration.

The decellularization process yielded translucent and viscous PL-dECM, meeting the standard requirements for decellularization efficiency. Proteomic sequencing revealed that the PL-dECM retained essential extracellular matrix components and numerous bioactive factors. The PL-dECM conditioned medium could enhance the proliferation and migration ability of periapical lesion-derived stem cells (PLDSCs) in a dose-dependent manner. Culturing PLDSCs on PL-dECM slices improved odontogenic/angiogenic ability compared to the type I collagen group. In vivo, the PL-dECM demonstrated a sustained supportive effect on PLDSCs and promoted odontogenic/angiogenic differentiation. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that PL-dECM served as an effective scaffold for pulp tissue engineering, providing valuable insights into PLDSCs differentiation. These findings pave avenues for the clinical application of dECM's in situ transplantation for regenerative endodontics.","PeriodicalId":20929,"journal":{"name":"Regenerative Biomaterials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that large pit (LP) induced rASCs to form larger and more complex mitochondrial networks. Consistently, the expression of key genes related to mitochondrial dynamics revealed that mitochondrial fusion (MFN1 and MFN2) and midzone fission (DRP1 and MFF) were increased in rASCs on LP. In contrast, the middle pit (MP) enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis, as evidenced by the larger mitochondrial area and higher expression of PGC-1. Both LP and MP promoted ATP production in rASCs. It is likely that LP increased ATP levels through modulating mitochondrial network architecture while MP stimulated mitochondria biogenesis to do so.

Furthermore, BP nanosheets can enhance the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, owing to their photothermal effect. However, the inherent instability of BP poses a significant limitation, highlighting the importance of surface modification to enhance its stability. Ischemic stroke (IS) is caused by the occlusion of blood vessels, and its treatment is challenging due to the hindrance caused by the BBB. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify improved methods for bypassing the BBB for more efficient IS treatment. This research devised a novel drug delivery approach based on pterostilbene (Pte) supported by BP nanosheets, modified with polydopamine (PDA) to form BP-Pte@PDA. This system shows robust stability and traverses the BBB using effective photothermal mechanisms. This enables the release of Pte upon pH and NIR stimuli, offering potential therapeutic advantages for treating IS. In a middle cerebral artery occlusion mouse model, the BP-Pte@PDA delivery system significantly reduced infarct size, and brain water content, improved neurological deficits, reduced the TLR4 inflammatory factor expression, and inhibited cell apoptosis.

Moreover, the ER-mitochondria interplay coordinates the maintenance of cellular calcium homeostasis to prevent any negative consequences from excess of Ca2+, hence there needs in-depth study of n-HA effect on them. In this study, we fabricated needle-like n-HA to investigate the antitumor effectiveness as well as the underlying mechanisms from cellular and molecular perspectives. Data from in vitro experiments indicated that the growth and invasion of glioma cells were obviously reduced with the aid of n-HA. It's interesting to note that the expression of ER stress biomarkers (GRP78, p-IRE1, p-PERK, PERK, and ATF6) were all up-regulated after n-HA treatment, along with the activation of the pro-apoptotic transcription factor CHOP, showing that ER stress produced by n-HA triggered cell apoptosis. Moreover, the increased expression level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the mitochondrial membrane depolarization, as well as the downstream cell apoptotic signaling activation, further demonstrated the pro-apoptotic roles of n-HA induced Ca2+ overload through inducing mitochondria damage. The in vivo data provided additional evidence that n-HA caused ER stress and mitochondria damage in cells and effectively restrain the growth of glioma tumors.

Herein, we develop a shell-core structured PLGA@ICA-GT@KGN nanofilm using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and icariin (ICA, an anti-inflammatory drug) as the shell layer and gelatin (GT) and Kartogenin (KGN, a chondrogenic factor) as the core via coaxial electrospinning technology. The resultant PLGA@ICA-GT@KGN nanofilm exhibited a characteristic fibrous structure and demonstrated high biocompatibility. Notably, it showcased sustained release characteristics, releasing ICA within the initial 0 to 15 days and gradually releasing KGN between 11 to 29 days. Subsequent in vitro analysis revealed the potent anti-inflammatory capabilities of the released ICA from the shell layer, while the KGN released from the core layer effectively induced chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs). Following this, the synthesized PLGA@ICA-GT@KGN nanofilms were loaded with BMSCs and stacked layer by layer, adhering to a \"sandwich model\" to form a composite sandwich construct. This construct was then utilized to repair circular tracheal defects in a rabbit model. The sequential release of ICA and KGN facilitated by the PLGA@ICA-GT@KGN nanofilm established an anti-inflammatory microenvironment before initiating chondrogenic induction, leading to effective tracheal cartilage restoration.
