Optimizing the immune microenvironment is essential for successful implant osseointegration. In this study, four different nano/microstructures were fabricated on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) substrates by varying the agitation speed during sulfonation to influence osteoimmunomodulation and implant integration. The results indicate that nano/microstructures with minimal dimensions (SP450) inhibit actin polymerization by reducing calcium influx through PIEZO1, activating the anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage phenotype. Among the tested specimens, SP450 exhibited the lowest expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β while releasing the highest levels of anti-inflammatory factors, including interleukin-4 and interleukin-10. This optimized immune environment promotes the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts and enhances the osseointegration of PEEK implants. Transcriptomic analysis and validation experiment further revealed that SP450 inhibits osteoclastic differentiation by down-regulating transforming growth factor-β2 and suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway. These findings suggest that manipulating the surface topography of PEEK implants is an effective strategy for enhancing osseointegration with promising clinical applications.

Nanomaterial-mediated macrophage immune response plays a crucial role in bone regeneration microenvironment. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles are widely used as nano-drug carriers, imaging agents, and bioactivity regulators for potential tissue regeneration. It is known that surface topography features of nanomaterials play an important regulatory role in immune response.

This study aimed to assess the impact of manufacturing methods (conventional and additive manufacturing) and surface treatments (polished and nanotopographic) on the physicochemical properties of Ti6Al4V alloy and their correlation with osteoblast cellular behavior. The evaluated groups were Machined Discs (MD), Machined Discs with Treatment (MD-WT), Additive-manufactured Discs (AD), and Additive-manufactured Discs with Treatment (AD-WT). Surface analyses included SEM, AFM, surface roughness, EDS, XRD, surface free energy, and zeta potential.

Unlabelled: Cells are building blocks of living systems. Spatio-temporal mapping of local biophysical changes within cells can lead to novel insights into various biological events. As demonstrated in previous works, successful internalization, controlled manipulation, bio-compatibility, and surface-functionalization capabilities make the helical magnetic nanobots, an ideal candidate for local intracellular measurements.
