Background: In the past few decades, very little research has been carried out to modify implant surfaces to improve osteointegration through the regulation of immune cells.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate whether the poly(dopamine) (pDA)-assisted immobilization of IL4 on titanium surfaces could modulate the inflammatory profile of macrophages in vitro and search for the possibility of enhancing implant integration in this way.

Material And Methods: The surface composition, topography, and roughness of SLA, SLA-pDA, and SLA-pDA-IL4 discs were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Then the releasing profile of the SLA-pDA-IL4 implants was recorded for 1 week and the bioactivity of released IL4 was investigated by ELISA. Then macrophage polarization was investigated via three methods including: (a) surface marker via immunofluorescence; (b) mRNA levels of M1 and M2 polarization markers via real-time PCR, and (c) cytokine release via ELISA.

Results: SEM and EDS revealed that pDA and IL4 were coated successfully on SLA surfaces. The ELISA results showed that IL4 remained its bioactivity on SLA surface and were immobilized on the SLA surface. The immobilization of IL4 through pDA has no significant influence on the attachment, morphology, and proliferation of macrophages, while it increased the M2/M1 proportion in human macrophages revealed by immunofluorescence. The real-time PCR and ELISA results demonstrated that SLA-pDA-IL4 surface reduced the pro-inflammatory profile compared with SLA-pDA and SLA surfaces.

Conclusions: The SLA-pDA-IL4 surfaces described here is able to activate adherent macrophages into M2 phenotype and reduce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Immobilization of IL4 via pDA is convenient and effective, thus providing an applicable way to control macrophage behavior upon implant insertion and is anticipated to accelerating further bone integration.

Background: Immune tolerance induction (ITI) is the treatment of choice to eradicate neutralizing anti-factor (F)VIII alloantibodies (inhibitors) in people with inherited hemophilia A. However, it is not successful in 10% to 40% of the cases. The biological mechanisms and biomarkers associated with ITI outcome are largely unknown.

Objectives: Stress is an aversive stimulus which disrupts the biological milieu of the organism and a variety of emotional and environmental stressors are known to influence allergic and immunological disorders like bronchial asthma but the pharmacological basis of such interactions is not clearly defined. (ashwagandha) is a potent anti-stress agent used widely in Indian traditional medicine and the present experimental study evaluated the effects of extract (WSE) on chronic stress-induced neurobehavioral and immunological responses in an experimental model of allergic asthma in rats.

Methods: Wistar rats (200-250 g) were immunized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) and exposed to restraint stress (RS) and WSE treatments for 15 days.

The time of stress exposure relative to the moment of immunization affects the direction of the immunoregulatory effect of stress. In case of stress exposure preceding immunization, rotation stress stimulated the production of antibodies, while immobilization depressed it. After antigen injection, these types of stress had no significant effect on the formation of antibody-producing cells.

Bioelectrodes are critical components of implantable electronic devices that enable precise electrical signal transmission in close contact with living tissues. However, their in vivo performance is often compromised by inflammatory tissue reactions mainly induced by macrophages. Hence, we aimed to develop implantable bioelectrodes with high performance and high biocompatibility by actively modulating the inflammatory response of macrophages.

Osteo-Immunomodulatory Role of Interleukin-4-Immobilized Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation Membranes for Bone Regeneration.

Barrier membranes for guided tissue regeneration are essential for bone repair and regeneration. The implanted membranes may trigger early inflammatory responses as a foreign material, which can affect the recruitment and differentiation of bone cells during tissue regeneration. The purpose of this study was to determine whether immobilizing interleukin 4 (IL4) on plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII)-activated surfaces may alter the osteo-immunoregulatory characteristics of the membranes and produce pro-osteogenic effects.
