Distinct mechanisms of iron and zinc metal ions on osteo-immunomodulation of silicocarnotite bioceramics

The immunomodulatory of implants have drawn more and more attention these years. However, the immunomodulatory of different elements on the same biomaterials have been rarely investigated. In this work, two widely used biosafety elements, iron and zinc added silicocarnotite (Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 2 SiO 4 , CPS) were applied to explore the routine of elements on immune response. The immune reactions over time of Fe-CPS and Zn-CPS were explored at genetic level and protein level, and the effects of their immune microenvironment with different time points on osteogenesis were also investigated in depth. The results confirmed that both Fe-CPS and Zn-CPS had favorable ability to secret anti-inflammatory cytokines. The immune microenvironment of Fe-CPS and Zn-CPS also could accelerate osteogenesis and osteogenic differentiation in vitro and in vivo . In terms of mechanism, RNA-seq analysis and Western-blot experiment revealed that PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and JAK-STAT signaling pathways were activated of Fe-CPS to promote macrophage polarization from M1 to M2, and its immune microenvironment induced osteogenic differentiation through the activation of Hippo signaling pathway. In comparison, Zn-CPS inhibited polarization of M1 macrophage via the up-regulation of Rap1 signaling pathway and complement and coagulation cascade pathway, while its osteogenic differentiation related pathway of immune environment was NF-κB signaling pathway.
