The treatment of cartilage lesions has always been a difficult problem. Although tissue engineering provides alternative options for lesions, biodegradable scaffolds have limitations.In this study, we constructed porous PEEK scaffold via 3D printing, surface-engineered with concentrated sulfuric acid 15 s (SPK-15), 30 (SPK-30), and 60 (SPK-60). We systematically evaluated the physical chemical characteristics biofunctionalities scaffolds, then macrophage polarization modulating ability...

Inflammatory cytokines commonly initiate extreme changes in the synovium and cartilage microenvironment of osteoarthritis (OA) patients, which subsequently cause cellular dysfunction, especially chondrocytes. It has been reported that induction purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) can regulate expression a variety inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-6 -8, leading to OA pathogenesis. However, knowledge mechanism upregulation P2X7R is still incomplete, its role chondrocyte...

In tissue engineering, hydrogel scaffolds allow various cells to be cultured and grown in vitro then implanted repair or replace the damaged areas. Here this work, kartogenin (KGN), an effectively chondro-inductive non-protein bioactive drug molecule, was incorporated into a composite comprising positively charged chitosan (CS) methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) polymers fabricate appropriate microenvironments of bone marrow mesenchymal stem (BMSCs) for cartilage regeneration. Based on...

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that acts as major cause of early disability in the old population. However, molecular mechanisms autophagy osteoclasts involved OA remain unclear. Methods: The gene expression profiles were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. NCBI GEO2R and ScanGEO analysis tool used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was predicted by STRING website visualized with...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) chondrogenic differentiation contributes to the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Numerous studies have indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate pathogenesis and development multiple disorders, including OA. Nevertheless, role miR-20a-5p in OA remains obscure. Forty male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups surgically induced or underwent sham surgery presence absence miR-20a-5p. Flow cytometry was implemented detect surface markers BMSCs....
