Gallium-containing mesoporous nanoparticles influence in-vitro osteogenic and osteoclastic activity. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 162:213922. [PMID: 38878645 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles were synthesized using a microemulsion-assisted sol-gel method, and calcium, gallium or a combination of both, were used as dopants. The influence of these metallic ions on the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, as well as N2 adsorption-desorption methods. The presence of calcium had a significant impact on the morphology and textural features of the nanoparticles. The addition of calcium increased the average diameter of the nanoparticles from 80 nm to 150 nm, while decreasing their specific surface area from 972 m2/g to 344 m2/g. The nanoparticles of all compositions were spheroidal, with a disordered mesoporous structure. An ion release study in cell culture medium demonstrated that gallium was released from the nanoparticles in a sustained manner. In direct contact with concentrations of up to 100 μg/mL of the nanoparticles, gallium-containing nanoparticles did not exhibit cytotoxicity towards pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells. Moreover, in vitro cell culture tests revealed that the addition of gallium to the nanoparticles enhanced osteogenic activity. Simultaneously, the nanoparticles disrupted the osteoclast differentiation of RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. These findings suggest that gallium-containing nanoparticles possess favorable physicochemical properties and biological characteristics, making them promising candidates for applications in bone tissue regeneration, particularly for unphysiological or pathological conditions such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
Titanium-based implants have long been studied and used for applications in bone tissue engineering, thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties and appropriate biocompatibility. However, many implants struggle with osseointegration and attachment and can be vulnerable to the development of infections. In this work, we have developed a composite coating via electrophoretic deposition, which is both bioactive and antibacterial. Mesoporous bioactive glass particles with gentamicin were electrophoretically deposited onto a titanium substrate. In order to validate the hypothesis that the quantity of particles in the coatings is sufficiently high and uniform in each deposition process, an easy-to-use image processing algorithm was designed to minimize human dependence and ensure reproducible results. The addition of loaded mesoporous particles did not affect the good adhesion of the coating to the substrate although roughness was clearly enhanced. After 7 days of immersion, the composite coatings were almost dissolved and released, but phosphate-related compounds started to nucleate at the surface. With a simple and low-cost technique like electrophoretic deposition, and optimized stir and suspension times, we were able to synthesize a hemocompatible coating that significantly improves the antibacterial activity when compared to the bare substrate for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
The integration of immunotherapy and standard chemotherapy holds great promise for enhanced anticancer effects. In this study, we prepared a pH- and glutathione (GSH)-sensitive manganese-doped mesoporous silicon (MMSNs) based drug delivery system by integrating paclitaxel (PTX) and anti-programmed cell death-ligand 1 antibody (aPD-L1), and encapsulating with polydopamine (PDA) for chemoimmunosynergic treatment of ovarian cancer cells. The nanosystem was degraded in response to the tumor weakly acidic and reductive microenvironment. The Mn2+ produced by degradation can be used as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to provide visual exposure to tumor tissue. The released PTX can not only kill tumor cells directly, but also induce immunogenic death (ICD) of tumor cells, which can play a synergistic therapeutic effect with aPD-L1. Therefore, our study is expected to provide a promising strategy for improving the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy and the detection rate of cancer.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an important microelement for the mineral nutrition of plants, but it is not effectively absorbed from the soil and mineral salts added thereto and can also be toxic in high concentrations. Mn nanoparticles (NPs) are less toxic, more effective, and economical than Mn salts due to their nanosize. This article critically reviews the current publications on Mn NPs, focusing on their effects on plant health, growth, and stress tolerance, and explaining possible mechanisms of their effects. This review also provides basic information and examples of chemical, physical, and ecological ("green") methods for the synthesis of Mn NPs. It has been shown that the protective effect of Mn NPs is associated with their antioxidant activity, activation of systemic acquired resistance (SAR), and pronounced antimicrobial activity against phytopathogens. In conclusion, Mn NPs are promising agents for agriculture, but their effects on gene expression and plant microbiome require further research.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs), which belong to the category of modern porous nanomaterials, have garnered significant attention due to their impressive biological activities, appealing physicochemical properties, and desirable morphological features. They hold immense potential for utilization in diverse fields, including adsorption, separation, catalysis, bioengineering, and medicine. Despite possessing interior porous structures, excellent morphological characteristics, and superior biocompatibility, primitive MBGs face challenges related to weak encapsulation efficiency, drug loading, and mechanical strength when applied in biomedical fields. It is important to note that the advantageous attributes of MBGs can be effectively preserved by incorporating supramolecular assemblies, miscellaneous metal species, and their conjugates into the material surfaces or intrinsic mesoporous networks. The innovative advancements in these modified colloidal inorganic nanocarriers inspire researchers to explore novel applications, such as stimuli-responsive drug delivery, with exceptional in-vivo performances. In view of the above, we outline the fabrication process of calcium-silicon-phosphorus based MBGs, followed by discussions on their significant progress in various engineered strategies involving surface functionalization, nanostructures, and network modification. Furthermore, we emphasize the recent advancements in the textural and physicochemical properties of MBGs, along with their theranostic potentials in multiple cancerous and non-cancerous diseases. Lastly, we recapitulate compelling viewpoints, with specific considerations given from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) have attracted significant attention as multifunctional nanocarriers for various applications in both hard and soft tissue engineering. In this study, multifunctional strontium (Sr)- and zinc (Zn)-containing MBGNs were successfully synthesized via the microemulsion-assisted sol-gel method combined with a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB). Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs exhibited spherical shapes in the nanoscale range of 100 ± 20 nm with a mesoporous structure. Sr and Zn were co-substituted in MBGNs (60SiO2-40CaO) to induce osteogenic potential and antibacterial properties without altering their size, morphology, negative surface charge, amorphous nature, mesoporous structure, and pore size. The synthesized MBGNs facilitated bioactivity by promoting the formation of an apatite-like layer on the surface of the particles after immersion in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). The effect of the particles on the metabolic activity of human mesenchymal stem cells was concentration-dependent. The hMSCs exposed to Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs at 200 μg/mL enhanced calcium deposition and osteogenic differentiation without osteogenic supplements. Moreover, the cellular uptake and internalization of Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs in hMSCs were observed. These novel particles, which exhibited multiple functionalities, including promoting bone regeneration, delivering therapeutic ions intracellularly, and inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, are potential nanocarriers for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Bone tissue defects present a major challenge in orthopedic surgery. Bone tissue engineering using multiple versatile bioactive materials is a potential strategy for bone-defect repair and regeneration. Due to their unique physicochemical and mechanical properties, biofunctional materials can enhance cellular adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation, thereby supporting and stimulating the formation of new bone tissue. 3D bioprinting and physical stimuli-responsive strategies have been employed in various studies on bone regeneration for the fabrication of desired multifunctional biomaterials with integrated bone tissue repair and regeneration properties. In this review, biomaterials applied to bone tissue engineering, emerging 3D bioprinting techniques, and physical stimuli-responsive strategies for the rational manufacturing of novel biomaterials with bone therapeutic and regenerative functions are summarized. Furthermore, the impact of biomaterials on the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and the potential pathways associated with biomaterial-induced osteogenesis are discussed.

Abstract
Globally, there is an increase in a number of bone disorders including osteoarthritis (OA), osteomyelitis, bone cancer, and etc., which has led to a demand for bone tissue regeneration. In order to take use of the osteogenic potential of natural herbs, mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) have the ability to deliver therapeutically active chemicals locally. MBGNs influence bioactivity and osteointegration of materials making them suitable for bone tissue engineering (BTE). In the present study, we developed Peganum Harmala (P. harmala) loaded MBGNs (PH-MBGNs) synthesized via modified Stöber process. The MBGNs were analyzed in terms of surface morphology, chemical make-up, amorphous nature, chemical interaction, pore size, and surface area before and after loading with P. harmala. A burst release of drug from PH-MBGNs was observed within 8 h immersion in phosphate buffer saline (PBS). PH-MBGNs effectively prevented Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) from spreading. Furthermore, PH-MBGNs developed a hydroxyapatite (HA) layer in the presence of simulated body fluid (SBF) after 21 days, which confirmed the in-vitro bioactivity of MBGNs. In conclusion, PH-MBGNs synthesized in this work are potential candidate for scaffolding or a constituent in the coatings for BTE applications.

Abstract
In recent years, composite biomaterials have attracted attention for drug delivery applications due to the possibility of combining desired properties of their components. However, some functional characteristics, such as their drug release efficiency and likely side effects, are still unexplored. In this regard, controlled tuning of the drug release kinetic via the precise design of a composite particle system is still of high importance for many biomedical applications. This objective can be properly fulfilled through the combination of different biomaterials with unequal release rates, such as mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGN) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) microspheres. In this work, MBGNs and PHBV-MBGN microspheres, both loaded with Astaxanthin (ASX), were synthesised and compared in terms of ASX release kinetic, ASX entrapment efficiency, and cell viability. Moreover, the correlation of the release kinetic to phytotherapeutic efficiency and side effects was established. Interestingly, there were significant differences between the ASX release kinetic of the developed systems, and cell viability differed accordingly after 72 h. Both particle carriers effectively delivered ASX, though the composite microspheres exhibited a more prolonged release profile with sustained cytocompatibility. The release behaviour could be fine-tuned by adjusting the MBGN content in the composite particles. Comparatively, the composite particles induced a different release effect, implying their potential for sustained drug delivery applications.

Simila HO, Boccaccini AR. Sol-gel synthesis of lithium doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles and tricalcium silicate for restorative dentistry: Comparative investigation of physico-chemical structure, antibacterial susceptibility and biocompatibility. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1065597. [PMID: 37077228 PMCID: PMC10106781 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1065597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The sol-gel method for production of mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) has been adapted to synthesize tricalcium silicate (TCS) particles which, when formulated with other additives, form the gold standard for dentine-pulp complex regeneration. Comparison of TCS and MBGNs obtained by sol-gel method is critical considering the results of the first ever clinical trials of sol-gel BAG as pulpotomy materials in children. Moreover, although lithium (Li) based glass ceramics have been long used as dental prostheses materials, doping of Li ion into MBGNs for targeted dental applications is yet to be investigated. The fact that lithium chloride benefits pulp regeneration in vitro also makes this a worthwhile undertaking. Therefore, this study aimed to synthesize TCS and MBGNs doped with Li by sol-gel method, and perform comparative characterizations of the obtained particles.Methods: TCS particles and MBGNs containing 0%, 5%, 10% and 20% Li were synthesized and particle morphology and chemical structure determined. Powder concentrations of 15mg/10 mL were incubated in artificial saliva (AS), Hank’s balanced saline solution (HBSS) and simulated body fluid (SBF), at 37°C for 28 days and pH evolution and apatite formation, monitored. Bactericidal effects against S. aureus and E. coli, as well as possible cytotoxicity against MG63 cells were also evaluated through turbidity measurements.Results: MBGNs were confirmed to be mesoporous spheres ranging in size from 123 nm to 194 nm, while TCS formed irregular nano-structured agglomerates whose size was generally larger and variable. From ICP-OES data, extremely low Li ion incorporation into MBGNs was detected. All particles had an alkalinizing effect on all immersion media, but TCS elevated pH the most. SBF resulted in apatite formation for all particle types as early as 3 days, but TCS appears to be the only particle to form apatite in AS at a similar period. Although all particles had an effect on both bacteria, this was pronounced for undoped MBGNs. Whereas all particles are biocompatible, MBGNs showed better antimicrobial properties while TCS particles were associated with greater bioactivity.Conclusion: Synergizing these effects in dental biomaterials may be a worthwhile undertaking and realistic data on bioactive compounds targeting dental application may be obtained by varying the immersion media.

Abstract
Research in nanomaterials with applications in bone regeneration therapies has experienced a very significant advance with the development of bioactive mesoporous nanoparticles (MBNPs). These nanomaterials consist of small spherical particles that exhibit chemical properties and porous structures that stimulate bone tissue regeneration, since they have a composition similar to that of conventional sol-gel bioactive glasses and high specific surface area and porosity values. The rational design of mesoporosity and their ability to incorporate drugs make MBNPs an excellent tool for the treatment of bone defects, as well as the pathologies that cause them, such as osteoporosis, bone cancer, and infection, among others. Moreover, the small size of MBNPs allows them to penetrate inside the cells, provoking specific cellular responses that conventional bone grafts cannot perform. In this review, different aspects of MBNPs are comprehensively collected and discussed, including synthesis strategies, behavior as drug delivery systems, incorporation of therapeutic ions, formation of composites, specific cellular response and, finally, in vivo studies that have been performed to date.

Abstract
The development of new biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration with high bioactivity abilities and antibacterial properties is being intensively investigated. We have synthesized nanocomposites formed by mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) in the ternary SiO2, CaO and P2O5 system doped with metallic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) that were homogenously embedded in the MBG matrices. Ag/MBG nanocomposites have been directly synthesized and silver species were spontaneously reduced to metallic AgNPs by high temperatures (700 °C) obtained of last MBG synthesis step. Three-dimensional silver-containing mesoporous bioactive glass scaffolds were fabricated showing uniformly interconnected ultrapores, macropores and mesopores. The manufacture method consisted of a combination of a single-step sol-gel route in the mesostructure directing agent (P123) presence and a biomacromolecular polymer such as (hydroxypropyl)methyl cellulose (HPMC) as the macrostructure template, followed by rapid prototyping (RP) technique. Biological properties of Ag/MBG nanocomposites were evaluated by MC3T3-E1 preosteoblastic cells culture tests and bacterial (E. coli and S. aureus) assays. The results showed that the MC3T3-E1 cells morphology was not affected while preosteoblastic proliferation decreased when the presence of silver increased. Antimicrobial assays indicated that bacterial growth inhibition and biofilm destruction were directly proportional to the increased presence of AgNPs in the MBG matrices. Furthermore, in vitro co-culture of MC3T3-E1 cells and S. aureus bacteria confirmed that AgNPs presence was necessary for antibacterial activity, and AgNPs slightly affected cell proliferation parameters. Therefore, 3D printed scaffolds with hierarchical pore structure and high antimicrobial capacity have potential applications in bone tissue regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study combines three key scientific aspects for bone tissue engineering: (i) materials with high bioactivity to repair and regenerate bone tissue that (ii) contain antibacterial agents to reduce the infection risk (iii) in the form of three-dimensional scaffolds with hierarchical porosity. Innovative methodology is described here: sol-gel method, which is employed to obtain mesoporous bioactive glass matrices doped with metallic silver nanoparticles where different polymer templates facilitate the different size scales presence, and rapid prototyping technique that provides ultra-large macroporosity according to computer-aided design. The dual scaffolds obtained are biocompatible and deliver active doses of silver capable of combating bone infections, which represent one of the most serious complications associated to surgical treatments of bone diseases and fractures.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses have been proposed for bone tissue engineering due to their excellent biocompatibility and osteo-inductive behaviour. The generation of mesoporous bioactive glass (nano) particles adds a high surface area for the dissolution and release of bioactive ions, and the possibility to load them with different drugs for antibacterial purposes. Essential oils (EO) are an interesting resource for alternative medical therapy, providing antimicrobial compounds that come from organic/natural resources like aromatic plants. Also, a biological polymer, such as chitosan, could be used to control the release of active agents from mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) loaded particles. This work presents MBG particles with nominal composition (in mol) 60% SiO2, 30% CaO and 10% P2O5, loaded with essential oil of Melaleuca armillaris, which contains 1,8-cineol as the main active component, with an inhibitory in vitro activity against several bacterial species. Also, co-loading with a broad-spectrum antibiotic, namely gentamicin, was investigated. The MBG particles were found to be of around 300nm in diameter and to exhibit highly porous open structure. The release of EO from the particles reached 72% of the initial content after the first 24 h, and 80% at 48 h of immersion in phosphate buffered solution. Also, the MBG particles with EO and EO-gentamicin loading presented in vitro apatite formation after 7 days of immersion in simulated body fluid. The antibacterial tests indicated that the main effect, after 24 h of contact with the bacteria, was reached either for the MBG EO or MBG EO-gentamicin particles against E. coli, while the effect against S. aureus was less marked. The results indicate that MBG particles are highly bioactive with the tested composition and loaded with EO of Melaleuca armillaris. The EO, also combined with gentamicin, acts as an antibacterial agent but with different efficacy depending on the bacteria type.

Abstract
Successful treatment of infected bone defects caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDR) has become a major clinical challenge, stressing the urgent need for effective antibacterial bone graft substitutes. Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs), a rapidly emerging class of nanoscale biomaterials, offer specific advantages for the development of biomaterials to treat bone infection due to endowed antibacterial features. Herein, we propose a facile post-modification sol-gel strategy to synthesize effective antibacterial MBGNs doped with copper ions (Cu-PMMBGNs). In this strategy, amine functional groups as chelating agents were introduced to premade mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) which further facilitate the incorporation of high content of calcium (∼17 mol%) and copper ions (∼8 mol%) without compromising nanoparticle shape, mesoporosity, and homogeneity. The resulting nanoparticles were degradable and showed rapidly induce abundant deposition of apatite crystals on their surface upon soaking in simulated body fluids (SBF) after 3 days. Cu-PMMBGNs exhibited a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria, which are common pathogens causing severe bone infections. Most importantly, the nanoparticles containing 5 mol% copper ions at concentrations of 500 and 1000 μg.mL-1 showed highly effective antibacterial performance as reflected by a 99.9 % reduction of bacterial viability. Nanoparticles at a concentration of 500 μg.mL-1 showed no significant cytotoxicity toward preosteoblast cells (∼85-89 % cell viability) compared to the control group. In addition, the nanoscale properties of synthesized Cu-PMMBGNs (∼100 nm in size) facilitated their internalization into preosteoblast cells, which highlights their potential as intracellular carriers in combating intracellular bacteria. Therefore, these copper-doped nanoparticles hold strong promise for use as an antibacterial component in antibacterial bone substitutes such as hydrogels, nanocomposites, and coatings.

Abstract
The addition of Mn in bioceramic formulation is gaining interest in the field of bone implants. Mn activates human osteoblast (h-osteoblast) integrins, enhancing cell proliferation with a dose-dependent effect, whereas Mn-enriched glasses induce inhibition of Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. In an effort to further optimize Mn-containing scaffolds' beneficial interaction with h-osteoblasts, a selective and specific covalent functionalization with a bioactive peptide was carried out. The anchoring of a peptide, mapped on the BMP-2 wrist epitope, to the scaffold was performed by a reaction between an aldehyde group of the peptide and the aminic groups of silanized Mn-containing bioceramic. SEM-EDX, FT-IR, and Raman studies confirmed the presence of the peptide grafted onto the scaffold. In in vitro assays, a significant improvement in h-osteoblast proliferation, gene expression, and calcium salt deposition after 7 days was detected in the functionalized Mn-containing bioceramic compared to the controls.

Abstract
This review focuses on the therapeutic effects of ions when released in physiological environments. Recent studies have shown that metallic ions like Ag+, Sr2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Cu2+, Ca2+, P+5, etc., have shown promising results in drug delivery systems and regenerative medicine. These metallic ions can be loaded in nanoparticles, mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs), hydroxyapatite (HA), calcium phosphates, polymeric coatings, and salt solutions. The metallic ions can exhibit different functions in the physiological environment such as antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, bioactive, biocompatible, and angiogenic effects. Furthermore, the metals/metalloid ions can be loaded into scaffolds to improve osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, bone development, fibroblast growth, and improved wound healing efficacy. Moreover, different ions possess different therapeutic limits. Therefore, further mechanisms need to be developed for the highly controlled and sustained release of these ions. This review paper summarizes the recent progress in the use of metallic/metalloid ions in regenerative medicine and encourages further study of ions as a solution to cure diseases.

Abstract
Nanoparticulate systems in the presence of proteins are highly relevant for various biomedical applications such as photo-thermal therapy and targeted drug delivery. These involve a complex interplay between the charge state of nanoparticles and protein, the resulting protein conformation, adsorption equilibrium and adsorption kinetics, as well as particle dissolution. SiO2 is a common constituent of bioactive glasses used in biomedical applications. In this context, the dissolution behavior of silica particles in the presence of a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), at physiologically relevant pH conditions was studied. Sedimentation analysis using an analytical ultracentrifuge showed that BSA in the supernatant solution is not affected by the presence of silica nanoparticles. However, zeta potential measurements revealed that the presence of the protein alters the particles' charge state. Adsorption and dissolution studies demonstrated that the presence of the protein significantly enhances the dissolution kinetics via interactions of positively charged amino acids in the protein with the negative silica surface and interaction of BSA with dissolved silicate species. Our study provides comprehensive insights into the complex interactions between proteins and oxide nanoparticles and establishes a reliable protocol paving the way for future investigations in more complex systems involving biological solutions as well as bioactive materials.

Abstract
Biotechnology is used extensively in medical procedures, dentistry, statures, biosensors, bio electrodes, skin substitutes, and medicine delivery systems. Glass is biocompatible and can be used in permanent implantation applications without risk. The porosity of BG matrixes, combined with their huge specific surface area, greatly aids the formation of hydroxyl carbonate apatite. Zn-Doped bioglass can be made in the lab in a variety of ways, depending on how it will be used in medical treatment. The melt-quenching technique, spray pyrolysis method, sol-gel process for BG fabrication, spray drying method, and modified Stöber method are examples of such strategies. Spray pyrolysis is a comprehensive approach that is an undeniably versatile and effective material synthesis technology. It is a low-cost, non-vacuum method for producing materials in the form of powders and films that may be deposited on a variety of substrates, and is a straightforward method to adapt for large-area deposition and industrial production processes. For better utility in medical care, MBG fabricated in the laboratory should be characterized using various characterization methods such as SEM, TEM, BET, and XRD.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are the most used biomaterials for orthopedic and dental applications. However, up to 10% of these medical devices still fail, mostly due to implant loosening and suboptimal integration at the implant site. The biomaterial surface plays a critical role in promoting osseointegration, which can reduce the risk of device failure. In this study, we propose a novel surface modification on titanium to improve osteogenic differentiation by depositing manganese-containing bioactive glass (BG) on TiO2 nanotube arrays. The surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, contact angle goniometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cell toxicity, viability, adhesion, and proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells on the surfaces were investigated up to 7 days. To evaluate the osteogenic properties of the surfaces, alkaline phosphatase activity, total protein, osteocalcin expression, and calcium deposition were quantified up to 28 days. The results indicate that TiO2 nanotube arrays modified with BG promote cell growth and induce increased osteocalcin and calcium contents when compared to unmodified TiO2 nanotube arrays. The deposition of manganese-containing bioactive glass onto TiO2 nanotubes demonstrates the ability to enhance osteogenic activity on titanium, showing great potential for use in orthopedic and dental implants.

MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2021; 33:3.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) have been a focus of research for over five decades for several biomedical applications. Although their use in bone substitution and bone tissue regeneration has gained important attention, recent developments have also seen the expansion of BG applications to the field of soft tissue engineering. Hard and soft tissue repair therapies can benefit from the biological activity of metallic ions released from BGs. These metallic ions are incorporated in the BG network not only for their biological therapeutic effects but also in many cases for influencing the structure and processability of the glass and to impart extra functional properties. The "classical" elements in silicate BG compositions are silicon (Si), phosphorous (P), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), and potassium (K). In addition, other well-recognized biologically active ions have been incorporated in BGs to provide osteogenic, angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects such as zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), strontium (Sr), gallium (Ga), fluorine (F), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), boron (B), lithium (Li), titanium (Ti), and copper (Cu). More recently, rare earth and other elements considered less common or, some of them, even "exotic" for biomedical applications, have found room as doping elements in BGs to enhance their biological and physical properties. For example, barium (Ba), bismuth (Bi), chlorine (Cl), chromium (Cr), dysprosium (Dy), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), ytterbium (Yb), thulium (Tm), germanium (Ge), gold (Au), holmium (Ho), iodine (I), lanthanum (La), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), niobium (Nb), nitrogen (N), palladium (Pd), rubidium (Rb), samarium (Sm), selenium (Se), tantalum (Ta), tellurium (Te), terbium (Tb), erbium (Er), tin (Sn), tungsten (W), vanadium (V), yttrium (Y) as well as zirconium (Zr) have been included in BGs. These ions have been found to be particularly interesting for enhancing the biological performance of doped BGs in novel compositions for tissue repair (both hard and soft tissue) and for providing, in some cases, extra functionalities to the BG, for example fluorescence, luminescence, radiation shielding, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. This review summarizes the influence of incorporating such less-common elements in BGs with focus on tissue engineering applications, usually exploiting the bioactivity of the BG in combination with other functional properties imparted by the presence of the added elements.

Multi-functional silica-based mesoporous materials for simultaneous delivery of biologically active ions and therapeutic biomolecules. Acta Biomater 2021; 129:1-17. [PMID: 34010692 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Revised: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Mesoporous silica-based materials, especially mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs), are being highly considered for biomedical applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering, not only because of their bioactivity and biocompatibility but also due to their tunable composition and potential use as drug delivery carriers owing to their controllable nanoporous structure. Numerous researches have reported that MBGs can be doped with various therapeutic ions (strontium, copper, magnesium, zinc, lithium, silver, etc.) and loaded with specific biomolecules (e.g., therapeutic drugs, antibiotics, growth factors) achieving controllable loading and release kinetics. Therefore, co-delivery of ions and biomolecules using a single MBG carrier is highly interesting as this approach provides synergistic effects toward improved therapeutic outcomes in comparison to the strategy of sole drug or ion delivery. In this review, we discuss the state-of-the-art in the field of mesoporous silica-based materials used for co-delivery of ions and therapeutic drugs with osteogenesis/cementogenesis, angiogenesis, antibacterial and anticancer properties. The analysis of the literature reveals that specially designed mesoporous nanocarriers can release multiple ions and drugs at therapeutically safe and relevant levels, achieving the desired biological effects (in vivo, in vitro) for specific biomedical applications. It is expected that this review on the ion/drug co-delivery concept using MBG carriers will shed light on the advantages of such co-delivery systems for clinical use. Areas for future research directions are identified and discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Many studies in literature focus on the potential of single drug or ion delivery by mesoporous silica-based materials, exploiting the bioactivity, biocompatibility, tunable composition and controllable nanoporosity of these materials. Recenlty, studies have adopted the "dual-delivery" concept, by designing multi-functional mesoporous silica-based systems which are capable to deliver both biologically active ions and biomolecules (growth factors, drugs) simultaneously in order to achieve synergy of their complementary therapeutic activities. This review summarizes the state of the art in the field, with focus on osteogenesis/cementogenesis, angiogenesis, antibacterial and anticancer properties, and discusses the challenges and prospects for further progress in this area, expecting to generate broader interest in the technology for applications in disease treatment and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) is considered a suitable polymer for drug delivery systems and bone tissue engineering due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, the lack of bioactivity and antibacterial activity hinders its biomedical applications. In this study, mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGN) were incorporated into PHBV to enhance its bioactivity, while cinnamaldehyde (CIN) was loaded in MBGN to introduce antimicrobial activity. The blank (PHBV/MBGN) and the CIN-loaded microspheres (PHBV/MBGN/CIN5, PHBV/MBGN/CIN10, and PHBV/MBGN/CIN20) were fabricated by emulsion solvent extraction/evaporation method. The average particle size and zeta potential of all samples were investigated, as well as the morphology of all samples evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. PHBV/MBGN/CIN5, PHBV/MBGN/CIN10, and PHBV/MBGN/CIN20 significantly exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in the first 3 h, while CIN releasing behavior was observed up to 7 d. Human osteosarcoma cell (MG-63) proliferation and attachment were noticed after 24 h cell culture, demonstrating no adverse effects due to the presence of microspheres. Additionally, the rapid formation of hydroxyapatite on the composite microspheres after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) during 7 d revealed the bioactivity of the composite microspheres. Our findings indicate that this system represents an alternative model for an antibacterial biomaterial for potential applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are being increasingly considered for biomedical applications. One convenient approach to utilize BGs in tissue engineering and drug delivery involves their combination with organic biomaterials in order to form composites with enhanced biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this work, mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGN) have been merged with polyhydroxyalkanoate microspheres with the purpose to develop drug carriers. The composite carriers (microspheres) were loaded with curcumin as a model drug. The toxicity and delivery rate of composite microspheres were tested in vitro, reaching a curcumin loading efficiency of over 90% and an improving of biocompatibility of different concentrations of MBGN due to its administrations through the composite. The composite microspheres were tested in terms of controlled release, biocompatibility and bioactivity. Our results demonstrate that the composite microspheres can be potentially used in biomedicine due to their dual effects: bioactivity (due to the presence of MBGN) and curcumin release capability.

Abstract
Biomedical implants are the need of this era due to the increase in number of accidents and follow-up surgeries. Different types of bone diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteomalacia, bone cancer, etc., are increasing globally. Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) are used in biomedical devices due to their osteointegration and bioactive properties. In this study, silver (Ag)- and strontium (Sr)-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Ag-Sr MBGNs) were prepared by a modified Stöber process. In this method, Ag+ and Sr2+ were co-substituted in pure MBGNs to harvest the antibacterial properties of Ag ions, as well as pro-osteogenic potential of Sr2 ions. The effect of the two-ion concentration on morphology, surface charge, composition, antibacterial ability, and in-vitro bioactivity was studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the doping of Sr and Ag in MBGNs. SEM and EDX analysis confirmed the spherical morphology and typical composition of MBGNs, respectively. The Ag-Sr MBGNs showed a strong antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus carnosus and Escherichia coli bacteria determined via turbidity and disc diffusion method. Moreover, the synthesized Ag-Sr MBGNs develop apatite-like crystals upon immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF), which suggested that the addition of Sr improved in vitro bioactivity. The Ag-Sr MBGNs synthesized in this study can be used for the preparation of scaffolds or as a filler material in the composite coatings for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In recent years, mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNPs) have generated great attention in biomedical applications. In this study, cerium and gallium doped MBGNPs were prepared by microemulsion assisted sol-gel method in the binary SiO2-CaO system. MBGNPs with spheroidal and pineal shaped morphology were obtained. Nitrogen sorption analysis elucidated the mesoporous structure of synthesized nanoparticles with high specific surface area. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the amorphous nature of the nanoparticles. The chemical compositions of all samples were determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), which revealed that the contents of cerium and gallium could be tailored by adjusting the concentrations of the precursors used for the synthesis. All MBGNPs exhibited in vitro bioactivity when immersed in simulated body fluid, except the particles doped with higher amounts than 1 mol% of cerium. MBGNPs showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli without exhibiting cytotoxicity towards MG-63 osteoblast-like cells. Mentioned features of the obtained Ce and Ga-doped MBGNPs make them useful for multifunctional applications such as drug delivery carriers or bioactive fillers for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Thanks to their high porosity and surface area, mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) have gained significant interest in the field of medical applications, in particular, with regards to enhanced bioactive properties which facilitate bone regeneration. The aim of this article is to review the state of the art regarding the biocompatibility evaluation of MBGs and provide a discussion of the various approaches taken. The research was performed using PubMed database and covered articles published in the last five years. From a total of 91 articles, 63 were selected after analyzing them according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria. In vitro methodologies and techniques used for biocompatibility assessment were investigated. Among the biocompatibility assessment techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been widely used to study cell morphology and adhesion. Viability and proliferation were assessed using different assays including cell counting and/or cell metabolic activity measurement. Finally, cell differentiation tests relied on the alkaline phosphatase assay; however, these were often complemented by specific bimolecular tests according to the exact application of the mesoporous bioactive glass. The standardization and validation of all tests performed for MBG cytocompatibility is a key aspect and crucial point and should be considered in order to avoid inconsistencies, bias between studies, and unnecessary consumption of time. Therefore, introducing standard tests would serve an important role in the future assessment and development of MBG materials.

Nanotherapeutics for regeneration of degenerated tissue infected by bacteria through the multiple delivery of bioactive ions and growth factor with antibacterial/angiogenic and osteogenic/odontogenic capacity. Bioact Mater 2021; 6:123-136. [PMID: 32817919 PMCID: PMC7426491 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2020.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Revised: 07/20/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Therapeutic options are quite limited in clinics for the successful repair of infected/degenerated tissues. Although the prevalent treatment is the complete removal of the whole infected tissue, this leads to a loss of tissue function and serious complications. Herein the dental pulp infection, as one of the most common dental problems, was selected as a clinically relevant case to regenerate using a multifunctional nanotherapeutic approach. For this, a mesoporous bioactive glass nano-delivery system incorporating silicate, calcium, and copper as well as loading epidermal growth factor (EGF) was designed to provide antibacterial/pro-angiogenic and osteo/odontogenic multiple therapeutic effects. Amine-functionalized Cu-doped bioactive glass nanospheres (Cu-BGn) were prepared to be 50-60 nm in size, mesoporous, positive-charged and bone-bioactive. The Cu-BGn could release bioactive ions (copper, calcium and silicate ions) with therapeutically-effective doses. The Cu-BGn treatment to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) led to significant enhancement of the migration, tubule formation and expression of angiogenic gene (e.g. vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF). Furthermore, the EGF-loaded Cu-BGn (EGF@Cu-BGn) showed pro-angiogenic effects with antibacterial activity against E. faecalis, a pathogen commonly involved in the pulp infection. Of note, under the co-culture condition of HUVEC with E. faecalis, the secretion of VEGF was up-regulated. In addition, the osteo/odontogenic stimulation of the EGF@Cu-BGn was evidenced with human dental pulp stem cells. The local administration of the EGF@Cu-BGn in a rat molar tooth defect infected with E. faecalis revealed significant in vivo regenerative capacity, highlighting the nanotherapeutic uses of the multifunctional nanoparticles for regenerating infected/damaged hard tissues.

Effect of manganese, zinc, and copper on the biological and osteogenic properties of mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles. J Biomed Mater Res A 2020; 109:1457-1467. [PMID: 33289275 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) have demonstrated promising properties for the local delivery of therapeutically active ions with the aim to improve their osteogenic properties. Manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) ions have already shown promising pro-osteogenic properties. Therefore, the concentration-dependent impact of MBGNs (composition in mol%: 70 SiO2 , 30 CaO) and MBGNs containing 5 mol% of either Mn, Zn, or Cu (composition in mol%: 70 SiO2 , 25 CaO, 5 MnO/ZnO/CuO) on the viability and osteogenic differentiation of human marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) was assessed in this study. Mn-doped MBGNs (5Mn-MBGNs) showed a small "therapeutic window" with a dose-dependent negative impact on cell viability but increasing pro-osteogenic features alongside increasing Mn concentrations. Due to a constant release of Zn, 5Zn-MBGNs showed good cytocompatibility and upregulated the expression of genes encoding for relevant members of the osseous extracellular matrix during the later stages of cultivation. In contrast to all other groups, BMSC viability increased with increasing concentration of Cu-doped MBGNs (5Cu-MBGNs). Furthermore, 5Cu-MBGNs induced an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity. In conclusion, doping with Mn, Zn, or Cu can enhance the biological properties of MBGNs in different ways for their potential use in bone regeneration approaches.

In Vitro Properties of Manganese-Substituted Tricalcium Phosphate Coatings for Titanium Biomedical Implants Deposited by Arc Plasma. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 13:E4411. [PMID: 33022953 PMCID: PMC7579245 DOI: 10.3390/ma13194411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Bioactive manganese (Mn)-doped ceramic coatings for intraosseous titanium (Ti) implants are developed. Arc plasma deposition procedure is used for coatings preparation. X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) methods are applied for coatings characterization. The coatings are homogeneous, composed of the main phase α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) (about 67%) and the minor phase hydroxyapatite (about 33%), and the Mn content is 2.3 wt%. EPR spectroscopy demonstrates that the Mn ions are incorporated in the TCP structure and are present in the coating in Mn2+ and Mn3+ oxidation states, being aggregated in clusters. The wetting contact angle of the deposited coatings is suitable for cells' adhesion and proliferation. In vitro soaking in physiological solution for 90 days leads to a drastic change in phase composition; the transformation into calcium carbonate and octacalcium phosphate takes place, and no more Mn is present. The absence of antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria strains is observed. A study of the metabolic activity of mouse fibroblasts of the NCTC L929 cell line on the coatings using the MTT (dye compound 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) test demonstrates that there is no toxic effect on the cell culture. Moreover, the coating material supports the adhesion and proliferation of the cells. A good adhesion, spreading, and proliferative activity of the human tooth postnatal dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) is demonstrated. The developed coatings are promising for implant application in orthopedics and dentistry.

Abstract
This review article addresses the various aspects of nano-biomaterials used in or being pursued for the purpose of promoting bone regeneration. In the last decade, significant growth in the fields of polymer sciences, nanotechnology, and biotechnology has resulted in the development of new nano-biomaterials. These are extensively explored as drug delivery carriers and as implantable devices. At the interface of nanomaterials and biological systems, the organic and synthetic worlds have merged over the past two decades, forming a new scientific field incorporating nano-material design for biological applications. For this field to evolve, there is a need to understand the dynamic forces and molecular components that shape these interactions and influence function, while also considering safety. While there is still much to learn about the bio-physicochemical interactions at the interface, we are at a point where pockets of accumulated knowledge can provide a conceptual framework to guide further exploration and inform future product development. This review is intended as a resource for academics, scientists, and physicians working in the field of orthopedics and bone repair.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine leverages the innate potential of the human body to efficiently repair and regenerate damaged tissues using engineered biomaterials. By designing responsive biomaterials with the appropriate biophysical and biochemical characteristics, cellular response can be modulated to direct tissue healing. Recently, inorganic biomaterials have been shown to regulate cellular responses including cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Moreover, ions released from these mineral-based biomaterials play a vital role in defining cell identity, as well as driving tissue-specific functions. The intrinsic properties of inorganic biomaterials, such as the release of bioactive ions (e.g., Ca, Mg, Sr, Si, B, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr, Co, Mo, Mn, Au, Ag, V, Eu, and La), can be leveraged to induce phenotypic changes in cells or modulate the immune microenvironment to direct tissue healing and regeneration. Biophysical characteristics of biomaterials, such as topography, charge, size, electrostatic interactions, and stiffness can be modulated by addition of inorganic micro- and nanoparticles to polymeric networks have also been shown to play an important role in their biological response. In this Review, we discuss the recent emergence of inorganic biomaterials to harness the innate regenerative potential of the body. Specifically, we will discuss various biophysical or biochemical effects of inorganic-based materials in directing cellular response for regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Silica nanomaterials (SNMs) and their composites have recently been investigated as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. SNM scaffolds possess the ability to encourage bone cell growth and also allow the simultaneous delivery of biologically active biomolecules that are encapsulated in the mesopores. Their high mechanical strength, low cytotoxicity, ability to stimulate both the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of progenitor cells make the SNMs appropriate scaffolds. Their physiochemical properties facilitate the cell spreading process, allow easy access to nutrients and help the cell-cell communication process during bone tissue engineering. The ability to deliver small biomolecules, such as dexamethasone, different growth factors, vitamins and mineral ions depends on the morphology, porosity, and crystallinity of SNMs and their composites with other polymeric materials. In this review, the abilities of SNMs to perform as suitable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering are comprehensively discussed.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glasses have been widely investigated for applications in bone tissue regeneration and, more recently, in soft tissue repair and wound healing. In this study we produced mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) based on the SiO2-CaO system. With the intention of adding subsidiary biological function, MBGNs were doped with Zn2+ ions. Zn-MBGNs with 8 mol% ZnO content were synthesized via microemulsion assisted sol-gel method. The synthesized particles were homogeneous in shape and size. They exhibited spherical shape, good dispersity, and a size of 130 ± 10 nm. The addition of zinc precursors did not affect the morphology of particles, while their specific surface area increased in comparison to MBGNs. The presence of Zn2+ ions inhibited the formation of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCAp) on the particles after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). No formation of HCAp crystals on the surface of Zn-MBGNs could be observed after 14 days of immersion. Interestingly, powders containing relatively high amount of zinc released Zn2+ ions in low concentration (0.6-1.2 mg L-1) but in a sustained manner. This releasing feature enables Zn-MBGNs to avoid potentially toxic levels of Zn2+ ions, indeed Zn-MBGNs were seen to improve the differentiation of osteoblast-like cells (MG-63). Additionally, Zn-MBGNs showed higher ability to adsorb proteins in comparison to MBGNs, which could indicate a favourable later attachment of cells. Due to their advantageous morphological and physiochemical properties, Zn-MBGNs show great potential as bioactive fillers or drug delivery systems in a variety of applications including bone regeneration and wound healing.

Abstract
Succeeding in the substitution of pharmaceutical compounds with ions deliverable with the use of resorbable biomaterials could have far-reaching benefits for medicine and economy. Calcium phosphates are known as excellent accommodators of foreign ions. Manganese, the fifth most abundant metal on Earth was studied here as an ionic dopant in β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) ceramics. β-TCP containing different amounts of Mn2+ ions per MnxCa3-x(PO4)2 formula (x = 0, 0.001, 0.01, and 0.1) was investigated for a range of physicochemical and biological properties. The results suggested the role of Mn2+ as a structure booster, not breaker. Mn2+ ions increased the size of coherent X-ray scattering regions averaged across all crystallographic directions and also lowered the temperature of transformation of the hydroxyapatite precursor to β-TCP. The particle size increased fivefold, from 20 to 100 nm, in the 650-750 °C region, indicating that the reaction of formation of β-TCP was accompanied by a considerable degree of grain growth. The splitting of the antisymmetric stretching mode of the phosphate tetrahedron occurred proportionally to the Mn2+ content in the material, while electron paramagnetic resonance spectra suggested that Mn2+ might substitute for three out of five possible calcium ion positions in the unit cell of β-TCP. The biological effects of Mn-free β-TCP and Mn-doped β-TCP were selective: moderately proliferative to mammalian cells, moderately inhibitory to bacteria, and insignificant to fungi. Unlike pure β-TCP, β-TCP doped with the highest concentration of Mn2+ ions significantly inhibited the growth of all bacterial species tested: Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus faecalis. The overall effect against the Gram-positive bacteria was more intense than against the Gram-negative microorganisms. Meanwhile, β-TCP alone had an augmentative effect of the viability of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) and the addition of Mn2+ tended to reduce the extent of this augmentative effect, but without imparting any toxicity. For all Mn-doped β-TCP concentrations except the highest, the cell viability after 72 h incubation was significantly higher than that of the negative control. Assays evaluating the effect of Mn2+-containing β-TCP formulations on the differentiation of ADMSCs into three different lineages-osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic-demonstrated no inhibitory or adverse effects compared to pure β-TCP and powder-free positive controls. Still, β-TCP delivering the lowest amount of Mn2+ seemed most effective in sustaining the differentiation process toward all three phenotypes, indicating that the dose of Mn2+ in β-TCP need not be excessive to be effective.

Toward Highly Dispersed Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles With High Cu Concentration Using Cu/Ascorbic Acid Complex as Precursor. Front Chem 2019; 7:497. [PMID: 31380344 PMCID: PMC6646719 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2019.00497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2019] [Accepted: 06/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Copper (Cu) ions have a variety of advantageous biological functionalities, such as proangiogenic and bactericidal activities. Given the intrinsic biodegradability and biocompatibility, silicate-based mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) are considered as promising platforms for the delivery of Cu ions. However, effective incorporation of Cu into MBGNs still faces challenges, e.g., particle aggregation, the formation of insoluble crystalline Cu-based nanoparticles, and a low loading amount of Cu. We report a novel method to synthesize chemically homogenous and highly dispersed Cu-containing MBGNs (Cu-MBGNs) with tunable Cu concentration by using ascorbic acid/Cu complexes as the precursor of Cu in a microemulsion-assisted sol-gel approach. Cu-MBGNs exhibited a sphere-like shape with a particle size between 100 and 300 nm while their pore size varied from 2 to 10 nm. The inclusion of Cu, regardless of the incorporated concentration, did not significantly affect the morphology of particles. ICP-AES results indicated that the concentration of Cu in the particles could be conveniently tuned from 0 to ~6 mol% by controlling the amount of ascorbic acid/Cu complexes added, while the formation of crystalline Cu-based nanoparticles was avoided. The amorphous feature of Cu-MBGNs was proved by XRD, while the predominant oxidation state of Cu was evidenced to be Cu2+ by XPS. The incorporation of Cu did not inhibit the apatite-forming ability (bioactivity) of the particles in contact with simulated body fluid. Cu-MBGNs exhibited the capability of releasing Cu, Si, and Ca ions over time in the physiological fluid. The concentration of released Cu ions could be controlled by selecting specific Cu-MBGNs of different Cu contents. The dissolution products of most Cu-MBGNs at the dosage of 1, 0.1, and 0.01 mg/mL did not exhibit cytotoxicity, while only 7Cu-MBGN was cytotoxic at the dosage of 1 mg/mL. This study provided a feasible strategy to synthesize highly dispersed amorphous Cu-MBGNs with high Cu concentrations for biomedical applications. The particles exhibit great potential as building blocks for developing composite 3D scaffolds, coatings, and drug carriers, particularly when a large amount of particles incorporated may compromise the properties of (polymer) matrix materials while a relatively high concentration of released Cu ions is still required.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are widely used for bone regeneration, and allow the incorporation of different ions with therapeutic properties into the glass network. Amongst the different ions with therapeutic benefits, manganese (Mn) has been shown to influence bone metabolism and activate human osteoblasts integrins, improving cell adhesion, proliferation and spreading. Mn has also been incorporated into bioceramics as a therapeutic ion for improved osteogenesis. Here, up to 4.4 mol% MnO was substituted for CaO in the 58S composition (60 mol% SiO2, 36 mol% CaO, 4 mol% P2O5) and its effects on the glass properties and capability to influence the osteogenic differentiation were evaluated. Mn-containing BGs with amorphous structure, high specific surface area and nanoporosity were obtained. The presence of Mn2+ species was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Mn-containing BGs presented no cytotoxic effect on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and enabled sustained ion release in culture medium. hMSCs osteogenic differentiation stimulation and influence on the mineralisation process was also confirmed through the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and expression of osteogenic differentiation markers, such as collagen type I, osteopontin and osteocalcin, which presented higher expression in the presence of Mn-containing samples compared to control. Results show that the release of manganese ions from bioactive glass provoked human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) differentiation down a bone pathway, whereas hMSCs exposed to the Mn-free glass did not differentiate. Mn incorporation offers great promise for obtaining glasses with superior properties for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) is performed as a bone tissue engineering material because of its good bioactivity, biocompatibility and osteoinducion characteristics. Here, we propose MBG with larger pores (MBG-L) adsorbed fibroblast growth factor (FGF) to facilitate osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization. Specifically, we observed that MBG-L promotes calcium deposit precipitation in vitro. In addition, adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and matrix mineralization were promoted after osteoblast cultured on MBG-L/FGF. Interestingly, we found that the transcriptional activity of the critical transcription factor Runx2 was increased through MAPK pathway after osteoblast cultured on MBG-L/FGF. Support for this result, we found that the expression of osteoblastic marker genes, Osteocalcin (Ocn), Osteopontin (Opn), and Runx2 were increased. Thus, our findings provided that MBG-L/FGF could be a promising new material in bone tissue engineering.
