    Abstract:
    The pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory polarized phenotypes of macrophages (M1/M2) can be used to predict the success of implant integration. Hence, activating and inducing the transformation of immunocytes that promote tissue repair appears to be a highly promising strategy for facilitating osteo-anagenesis. In a previous study, titanium implants were coated with a graphene oxide-hydroxyapatite (GO-HA) nanocomposite via electrophoretic deposition, and the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was found to be significantly enhanced when the GO content was 2wt%. However, the effectiveness of the GO-HA nanocomposite coating in modifying the in vivo immune microenvironment still remains unclear. In this study, the effects of GO-HA coatings on osteogenesis were investigated based on the GO-HA-mediated immune regulation of macrophages. The HA-2wt%GO nanocomposite coatings exhibited good biocompatibility and favored M2 macrophage polarization. Meanwhile, they could also significantly upregulate IL-10 (anti-inflammatory factor) expression and downregulate TNF-α (pro-inflammatory factor) expression. Additionally, the microenvironment, which was established by M2 macrophages, favored the osteogenesis of BMSCs both in vivo and in vitro. These findings show that the GO-HA nanocomposite coating is a promising surface-modification material. Hence, this study provides a reference for the development of next-generation osteoimmunomodulatory biomaterials.
