Microenvironment modulation mechanisms by different biomaterials to enhance bone regeneration in different phases

Strategy Cement Modification method Model Simulated diseases Mechanism Refs.
Reduction of inflammation CPC Magnesium In vitro Bone substitute implantation MCPC reduces macrophage M1 polarization to attenuate inflammation [93]
MPC rhBMP2 + cement scaffold SD rats Bone substitute implantation Mg ions reduce inflammation through macrophage regulation to enhance osteogenesis [182]
CS/CC/DCPA Mg-MOF In vitro Non-load-bearing bone defects Mg-MOF modulates macrophage M1/M2 polarization [183]
CPC Zinc-doped calcium silicate New Zealand white rabbits Distal femoral bone defect Zn-CS/CPC promoted the recruitment of macrophages and enhanced M2 polarization while inhibiting M1 polarization [184]
CaSO4 bone cement Sr/Cu-BSG SD rats/New Zealand white rabbits Femoral condylar defects BSG cement reduces M1 macrophage polarization and inflammatory cytokines while promoting M2 phenotype [188]
Promotion of anti-oxidation CPC Se SD rats Osteoporotic bone defects Se-CPC upregulates SOD2/GPX1 antioxidant enzymes [194]
CPC Se SD rats Osteoporotic bone defects Se-CPC rescued mitochondrial functions through activation of the GPx1-mediated antioxidant pathway [195]
PMMA Amino graphene Rabbits Failure of the prosthesis AG exerts antioxidant effects through free radical scavenging [163]
CPC Fullerenol In vitro Bone reconstruction The antioxidant activity of Ful not only protected cellular viability but also promoted osteogenic differentiation [197]
Bone homeostasis maintenance PMMA TBB initiator In vitro Local osteolysis at the cement–bone interface PMMA-TBB enhances polymerization efficiency and reduces monomer toxicity [203]
CPC Solid lipid microparticles + ALN In vitro Severe bone turnover inhibition Solid lipid microparticles deliver alendronate to promote osteogenesis while inhibiting osteoclastogenesis [204]
PMMA Borosilicate Glass SD rats/Goats Tibia defects/Vertebral defect BSG provides an alkaline microenvironment that spontaneously balanced the activities between osteoclasts and osteoblasts [206]
CPC PEGs + ALN SD rats Osteoporotic bone defects CPC buffers pH while ALN inhibits osteoclasts and Ca2 + promotes osteoblast differentiation [43]
Prevascularization CPC Chitosan + Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) In vitro Large skeletal defects RGD-modified CPCs promote rapid vascular integration [212]
CPC hPDLSCs + hUVECs In vitro Large skeletal defects hPDLSCs support vessel formation through angiogenic factors while hUVECs enhance osteogenesis via paracrine signaling [213]
β-TCP scaffolds In vivo bioreactors for prevascularization SD rats Tibia bone defect In-vivo prevascularization in muscle pouch promotes vessel network formation within β-TCP scaffolds [214]
Material-cell interactions CPC Calcium silicate + rhBMP-2 New Zealand rabbits Femoral defects Synergistic effects between calcium silicate and rhBMP-2 in promoting osteogenesis [219]
CPC rhBMP2 + BMSC Nude mice Oral and maxillofacial defects rhBMP2 enhances BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation through sustained release from CPC scaffolds [220]
CPC chondroitin sulfate + PDA + rhBMP-2 SD rats Bone tissue repair CS enhances rhBMP-2 bioactivity by promoting BMPR expression and binding [221]
