Abstract

Abstract: Orthopedic implants have been used clinically to restore the functions of the compromised bone tissues, but there is still a relatively high risk of failure for elderly people. A critical reason is pro-inflammatory immune microenvironment created by senescent macrophages with homeostasis imbalance impairs osteogenesis and angiogenesis, two major processes involved in implant osseointegration. The present work proposes to use resveratrol as an autophagy inducing agent to upregulate the autophagy level of senescent macrophages to restore homeostasis, consequently generating a favorable immune microenvironment. The results show 0.1–1 μM of resveratrol can induce autophagy of senescent macrophages, promote cell viability and proliferation, reduce intracellular reactive oxygen species level, and polarize the cells to pro-healing M2 phenotype. The immune microenvironment created by senescent macrophages upon resveratrol stimulation can promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis, as manifested by upregulated proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, type I collagen secretion, and extracellular matrix mineralization of senescent osteoblasts as well as nitric oxide production, migration, and in vitro angiogenesis of senescent endothelial cells. In addition, resveratrol-loaded silk fibroin coatings can be fabricated on titanium surface through electrophoretic co-deposition and the coatings show beneficial effects on the functions of senescent macrophages. Our results suggest resveratrol can be used as surface additive of titanium implants to promote osseointegration of elderly people though regulating immunology of senescent macrophages.
