ABSTRACT

In bone tissue engineering, the bone immunomodulatory properties of biomaterials are critical for bone regeneration, which is a synergistic process involving physiological activities like immune response, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis. The effect of the macrophage immune microenvironment on the osteogenesis and angiogenesis of various material extracts was examined in this experiment using Mg2+and Nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen (nHAC) in both a single application and a combined form. This studyin vitrorevealed that the two compounds combined significantly inhibited the NF-κB signaling pathway and reduced the release of inflammatory factors from macrophages when compared with the extraction phase alone. Additionally, by contributing to the polarization of macrophages towards the M2 type, the combined effects of the two materials can significantly improve osteogenesis/angiogenesis. The results ofin vivoexperiments confirmed that Mg2+/nHAC significantly promoted bone regeneration and angiogenesis. This study offers a promising method for enhancing bone graft material osseointegration.
