Proteomic Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Monocyte Co-Cultures Exposed to a Bioactive Silica-Based Sol–Gel Coating

New methodologies capable of extensively analyzing the cell-material interactions are necessary to improve current in vitro characterization methods, and proteomics is a viable alternative. Also, many studies are focused on monocultures, even though co-cultures model better the natural tissue. For instance, human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) modulate immune responses and promote bone repair through interaction with other cell types. Here, label-free liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy proteomic methods were applied for the first time to characterize HUCPV (MSC) and CD14+ monocytes co-cultures exposed to a bioactive sol–gel coating (MT). PANTHER, DAVID, and STRING were employed for data integration. Fluorescence microscopy, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and ALP activity were measured for further characterization. Regarding the HUCPV response, MT mainly affected cell adhesion by decreasing integrins, RHOC, and CAD13 expression. In contrast, MT augmented CD14+ cell areas and integrins, Rho family GTPases, actins, myosins, and 14-3-3 expression. Also, anti-inflammatory (APOE, LEG9, LEG3, and LEG1) and antioxidant (peroxiredoxins, GSTO1, GPX1, GSHR, CATA, and SODM) proteins were overexpressed. On co-cultures, collagens (CO5A1, CO3A1, CO6A1, CO6A2, CO1A2, CO1A1, and CO6A3), cell adhesion, and pro-inflammatory proteins were downregulated. Thus, cell adhesion appears to be mainly regulated by the material, while inflammation is impacted by both cellular cross-talk and the material. Altogether, we conclude that applied proteomic approaches show its potential in biomaterial characterization, even in complex systems.This work was supported by MINECO [MAT2017-86043-R; RTC-2017-6147-1], Generalitat Valenciana [GRISOLIAP/2018/091, BEFPI/2021/043, PROMETEO/2020/069], Universitat Jaume I [UJI-B2017-37], and the University of the Basque Country [GIU18/189].

Protein adsorption/desorption dynamics on Ca-enriched titanium surfaces: biological implications

[EN] Calcium ions are used in the development of biomaterials for the promotion of coagulation, bone regeneration, and implant osseointegration. Upon implantation, the time-dependent release of calcium ions from titanium implant surfaces modifies the physicochemical characteristics at the implant-tissue interface and thus, the biological responses. The aim of this study is to examine how the dynamics of protein adsorption on these surfaces change over time. Titanium discs with and without Ca were incubated with human serum for 2 min, 180 min, and 960 min. The layer of proteins attached to the surface was characterised using nLC-MS/MS. The adsorption kinetics was different between materials, revealing an increased adsorption of proteins associated with coagulation and immune responses prior to Ca release. Implant-blood contact experiments confirmed the strong coagulatory effect for Ca surfaces. We employed primary human alveolar osteoblasts and THP-1 monocytes to study the osteogenic and inflammatory responses. In agreement with the proteomic results, Ca-enriched surfaces showed a significant initial inflammation that disappeared once the calcium was released. The distinct protein adsorption/desorption dynamics found in this work demonstrated to be useful to explain the differential biological responses between the titanium and Ca-ion modified implant surfaces.This work was supported by MINECO [MAT2017-86043-R; RTC-2017-6147-1], Generalitat Valenciana [GRISOLIAP/2018/091; APOSTD/2020/036, PROMETEO/2020/069], Universitat Jaume I under [ UJI-B2017-37], the University of the Basque Country under [GIU18/189] and Basque Government under [PRE_2017_2_0044].
