Glucocorticoids disrupt longitudinal advance of cortical bone basic multicellular units in the rabbit distal tibia. Bone 2024:117171. [PMID: 38901788 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the leading cause of secondary osteoporosis. The emerging perspective, derived primarily from 2D histological study of trabecular bone, is that GC-induced bone loss arises through the uncoupling of bone formation and resorption at the level of the basic multicellular units (BMUs), which carry out bone remodeling. Here we explore the impact of GCs on cortical bone remodeling in the rabbit model. Based upon the rapid reduction of bone formation and initial elevation of resorption caused by GCs, we hypothesized that the rate of advance (longitudinal erosion rate; LER) of cortical BMUs would be increased. To test this hypothesis we divided 20 female New Zealand White rabbits into four experimental groups: ovariohysterectomy (OVH), glucocorticoid (GC), OVH + GC and SHAM controls (n = 5 animals each). Ten weeks post-surgery (OVH or sham), and two weeks after the initiation of dosing (daily subcutaneous injections of 1.5 mg/kg of methylprednisolone sodium succinate in the GC-treated groups and 1 ml of saline for the others), the right tibiae were scanned in vivo using Synchrotron Radiation (SR) in-line phase contrast micro-CT at the Canadian Light Source. After an additional 2 weeks of dosing, the rabbits were euthanized and ex vivo images were collected using desktop micro-CT. The datasets were co-registered in 3D and LER was calculated as the distance traversed by BMU cutting-cones in the 14-day interval between scans. Counter to our hypothesis, LER was greatly reduced in GC-treated rabbits. Mean LER was lower in GC (4.27 μm/d; p < 0.001) and OVH + GC (4.19 μm/d; p < 0.001), while similar in OVH (40.13 μm/d; p = 0.990), compared to SHAM (40.44 μm/d). This approximately 90 % reduction in LER with GCs was also associated with an overall disruption of BMU progression, with radial expansion of the remodeling space occurring in all directions. This unexpected outcome suggests that GCs do not simply uncouple formation and resorption within cortical BMUs and highlights the value of the time-lapsed 4D approach employed.

Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13081301. [PMID: 37106864 PMCID: PMC10135116 DOI: 10.3390/ani13081301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Strontium (Sr) is a trace element found mainly in bone, and it performs a dual action by promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption. Sr has been used to evaluate the gastrointestinal calcium (Ca) absorption capacity of dairy cows due to the similar physicochemical properties of the two elements. However, the possible effects of Sr on dairy cows remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the potential regulatory mechanism of Sr in bovine chondrocytes by performing transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. A total of 111 genes (52 up-regulated and 59 down-regulated) were identified as significantly altered (1.2-fold change and p < 0.05) between control and Sr-treated groups. Moreover, LC-MS-based proteomic analysis detected 286 changed proteins (159 up-regulated and 127 down-regulated) between the control and Sr-treated groups (1.2-fold change and p < 0.05). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) annotations of a combination analysis of the transcriptomic and proteomic data revealed that the genes were predominantly involved in chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation, fat metabolism, the inflammation process, and immune responses. Overall, our data reveal a potential regulatory mechanism of strontium in bovine chondrocytes, thus providing further insights into the functions and application of Sr in ruminants.

Abstract
The mineralization of type I collagen is a biological process occurring in vertebrates by which some hard tissues such as bone and dentin are constructed. Due to the extensive clinical needs for bone defect repair and remineralization of mineral-depleted dentin, biomimetic mineralization of collagen is attracting more and more interests. Synthetic analogs of noncollagenous proteins are necessary for directing the in vitro mineralization. In this paper, the function and mechanism of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in regulating the mineralization, especially intrafibrillar mineralization (IM) of collagen are reviewed. As two mineralization patterns (extrafibrillar and intrafibrillar) co-exist in natural hard tissues, differences between them in terms of microstructure, biodegradation, cytocompatibility, osteoinduction in vitro, and performance in vivo are systematically compared. Then the roles of PAA in biomimetic collagen IM within one-analog and two-analog systems are discussed, respectively. Moreover, mineralization of some self-mineralizable collagen matrices is described. Due to the interactions between collagen and PAA play a crucial role in the processes of collagen mineralization, some reference researches are also provided involving the collagen/PAA interactions in some other fields. Finally, this review is ended with an outlook for future potential improvements based on the collection of existing bottlenecks in this field.

Abstract
To explore how strontium influences osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis during material-induced ectopic bone formation, porous strontium-substituted biphasic calcium phosphate (Sr-BCP) and BCP ceramics with equivalent pore structures and comparable grain size and porosity were prepared. In vitro results showed that compared with BCP, Sr-BCP inhibited the osteoclastic differentiation of osteoclast precursors by delaying cell fusion, down-regulating the expression of osteoclast marker genes, and reducing the activity of osteoclast specific proteins, possibly due to the activated ERK signaling pathway but the suppressed p38, JNK and AKT signaling pathways. Meanwhile, Sr-BCP promoted the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by up-regulating the osteogenic gene expression. Sr-BCP also mediated the expression of important osteoblast-osteoclast coupling factors, as evidenced by the increased Opg/Rankl ratio in mMSCs, and the reduced Rank expression and enhanced EphrinB2 expression in osteoclast precursors. Similar results were observed in an in vivo study based on a murine intramuscular implantation model. The sign of ectopic bone formation was only seen in Sr-BCP at 8 weeks. Compared to BCP, Sr-BCP obviously hindered the formation of TRAP- and CTSK-positive multinucleated osteoclast-like cells during the early implantation time up to 6 weeks, which is consistent with the in vivo PCR results. This suggested that Sr-BCP could clearly accelerate the ectopic bone formation by promoting osteogenesis but suppressing osteoclastogenesis, which might be closely related to the expression of osteoblast-osteoclast coupling factors regulated by Sr2+. These findings may help in the design and fabrication of smart bone substitutes with the desired potential for bone regeneration through modulating both osteoclastic resorption and osteoblastic synthesis.

Abstract
Recently, semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) has been identified as a critical gene for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and increases osteoblastic bone formation. However, in current research studies, there is a lack of focus on whether Sema3a can affect the osseointegration of titanium rods in diabetes and through what biological mechanisms. Therefore, the present work was aimed to evaluate the effect of local administration with Sema3A on hydroxyapatite coated titanium rod osseointegration in diabetic rat model and preliminary exploration of possible mechanisms. The MC3T3-E1 cells were co-cultured with Sema3A and high glucose and induced to osteogenesis, and the cell viability, osteogenic activity was observed by Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8), Alkaline Phosphatase staining, Alizarin Red Staining, and Western Blot. In vitro experiments, CCK-8, ALP, and ARS staining results show that the mineralization and osteogenic activity of MC3T3-E1increased significantly after intervention by Sema3A, as well as a higher levels of protein expressions including Runt-Related Transcription Factor 2, silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-1(SIRT1), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). In vivo experiment, a better stability and osseointegration of the titanium rod were observed after treatment with Sema3A, as well as a higher SOD1, SOD2, CAT, and SIRT1 gene expression. The present study indicates that local treatment with Sema3A was associated with increased osseointegration of titanium rod by reducing the oxidative stress of osteoblasts and enhancing the function of osteoblasts in a diabetic rat.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the bone induction and defect repair of true bone ceramics (TBC) combined with rhBMP-2 and Sr. METHODS MC3T3-E1 cells were used to evaluate the bioactivity of the composite. Cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK-8, ALP activity was detected by p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP), and the differences of material surface topography were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bone induction was verified by the implantation in nude mice. The rabbit femoral condyle defect model was achieved to verify the bone defect repair ability of the material. RESULTS SEM results showed nearly the same surface morphology and cell proliferation quantified by CCK-8 showed that compared with TBC, both TBC&Sr and TBC&BMP-2&Sr had a significant promoting effect (P < 0.05). ALP activity result showed that the ALP activity of TBC&BMP-2&Sr was significantly higher than that of TBC alone (P < 0.05). The bone induction result showed that TBC&Sr had a small amount of new bone formation, and the new bone area was only 2.5 ± 0.11%. The bone induction activity of TBC&BMP-2&Sr was the highest, the new bone area was up to 75.36 ± 4.21%. Histological result of bone defect repair showed that TBC&BMP-2&Sr was also the highest, the new bone area was up to 72.42 ± 3.14%. The repair effect of TBC& BMP-2 was second, and better than that of TBC&Sr. CONCLUSION TBC combined with rhBMP-2 and Sr had the good bioactivity, obvious bone conduction and bone defect repair performance, laying the foundation of clinical application potentially.

Abstract
Despite advances in the pathogenesis of Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) on bone, the understanding of the effects and mechanisms of bone osseointegration in TUDCA-associated Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated titanium implants remains poor. Therefore, the present work was aimed to evaluate the effect of local administration with TUDCA on HA-coated titanium implants osseointegration in ovariectomized(OVX) rats and further investigation of the possible mechanism. Twelve weeks after bilateral ovariectomy, all animals were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation(Sham) group, OVX group and TUDCA group, and all the rats from Sham group and OVX group received HA implants and animals belonging to group TUDCA received TUDCA-HA implants until death at 12 weeks. The bilateral femurs of rats were harvested for evaluation. TUDCA increased new bone formation around the surface of titanium rods and push-out force other than group OVX. Histology, Micro-CT and biochemical analysis results showed systemic TUDCA showed positive effects than OVX group on bone formation in osteopenic rats, with beneficial effect on via activation OPG/RANKL pathway and BMP-2/Smad1 pathway and microarchitecture as well as by reducing protein expression of TNF-α and IFN-γ. The present study suggests that local use of TUDCA may bring benefits to the osseointegration of HA-coated titanium implants in patients with osteoporosis, and this effect may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory reaction and promotion of osteogenesis.

Abstract
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a global pandemic that has contributed to the burden of disease, and the synergistic interaction between Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and HIV has assisted further in the spread of the HIV disease. Moreover, several chemotherapeutic treatment options from antiviral monotherapy to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have been adopted to manage the infection; however, HIV has developed new mechanisms against these active pharmaceutical agents (APAs), limiting the effect of the drugs. In this article, we reviewed different nanoparticles and their antiviral potency against HSV and HIV infection as well as the effect of drug encapsulated nanoparticles using different drug delivery systems as they palliate to some flaws or deficiencies that the stand-alone drugs present. Drug encapsulated nanoparticles show better treatment outcomes of HSV and HIV infection. The nanoparticles can transverse the anatomic privilege sites to exert their therapeutic effect, and a prolonged and higher dose of the encapsulated therapeutic agent can ease the dosage frequency, thus palliating low drug compliance which the stand-alone drugs fail to perform. Therefore, it is clear that nanoparticles prevent antiviral drug resistance by maintaining sustained drug release over an extended period, improving the therapeutic effect of the entrapped drug.

Abstract
Bone regeneration and repair has become one of the major clinical challenges worldwide and it involves multiple processes including inflammation, angiogenesis and osteogenesis. In this study, we synthesized strontium Laminarin polysaccharide (LP-Sr), a novel polysaccharide-metal complex that should have therapeutic effects on modulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The structure and composition of the as-fabricated LP-Sr were analyzed by EDS, XRD, FITR, 1H NMR, HPLC, etc. The results indicate that we successfully synthesized this novel polysaccharide complex. Moreover, we evaluated the biomedical potential of this complex in promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis by cell proliferation assay, ALP staining, immunofluorescent staining of CD31 and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The biological experiment results show that LP-Sr can effectively promote proliferation and increase the expression of VEGF and EGFL6 in HUVECs and significantly up-regulate the expression of Col1α1 and OCN in MC3T3-E1. Besides, it is suggested that LP-Sr has positive effects on the suppression of pro-inflammatory factor IL6 in both HUVECs and MC3T3-E1. Moreover, the osteogenic and angiogenic markers, i.e. alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and CD31, exhibited high expression in LP-Sr group. Hence, we believe that LP-Sr should be a promising and novel polysaccharide complex in modulating osteogenesis-angiogenesis for bone regeneration.

Osteoporosis (OP) is one of the most significant causes of morbidity, particularly in post-menopausal women and older men. Despite its remarkable occurrence, the search for an effective treatment is still an open challenge. Here, we systematically reviewed the preclinical and clinical progress in the development of nano-based materials as drug delivery systems against OP, considering the effects on bone healing and regeneration, the more promising composition and manufacturing methods, and the more hopeful drugs and delivery methods. The results showed that almost all the innovative nano-based delivery systems developed in the last ten years have been assessed by preclinical investigations and are still in the preliminary/early research stages. Our search strategy retrieved only one non-randomized controlled trial (RCT) on oligosaccharide nanomedicine of alginate sodium used for degenerative lumbar diseases in OP patients. Further investigations are mandatory for assessing the clinical translation and commercial purposes of these materials. To date, the main limits for the clinical translation of nano-based materials as drug delivery systems against OP are probably due to the low reproducibility of the manufacturing processes, whose specificity and complexity relies on an adequate chemical, structural, and biomechanical characterization, as the necessary prerequisite before assessing the efficacy of a given treatment or process. Finally, an unsatisfactory drug-loading capacity, an uncontrollable release kinetic, and a low delivery efficiency also limit the clinical application.

Abstract
Large numbers of research works related to fabricating organic-inorganic composite materials have been carried out to mimic the natural structure of bone. In this study, a new modified n-ACP doped with citrate (n-ACP-cit)/poly (amino acids) (PAA) composite (n-ACP-cit/PAA) was synthesized by employing high bioactive n-ACP-cit and the biodegradable and biocompatible PAA copolymer. Its basic structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, the degradability, bioactivity, biocompatibility, and osteoconductivity of n-ACP-cit/PAA composite were evaluated in vitro and in vivo, using simulated body fluid (SBF) solution soaking test, mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells proliferation and differentiation, morphological observation test, expression of genes associated with osteogenesis, and bone defect model repair test, respectively. The modified n-ACP-cit/PAA composite exhibited a much higher weight loss rate (36.01 wt.%) than that of PAA (23.99 wt.%) after immersing in SBF solution for 16 weeks and the pH values of local environment restored to neutral condition. Moreover, cells co-culturing with composites exhibited higher alkaline phosphatase activity, more calcium nodule-formation, and higher expression levels of osteogenic differentiation-related genes (Bmp-2, Colla I, OCN, OPN, and Runx-2) than that of PAA. Furthermore, the bone defect model repair test revealed that the composite could be intimately incorporated with the surrounding bone without causing any deleterious reaction and capable of guiding new bone formation. Together, these results indicated that the new modified bone repair n-ACP-cit/PAA composite material with specific characteristics may be designed for meeting diverse requirements from biomedical applications.

Abstract
Implant loosening remains a major clinical challenge for osteoporotic patients. This is because osteoclastic bone resorption rate is higher than osteoblastic bone formation rate in the case of osteoporosis, which results in poor bone repair. Strontium (Sr) has been widely accepted as an anti-osteoporosis element. In this study, we fabricated a series of apatite and Sr-substituted apatite coatings via electrochemical deposition under different acidic conditions. The results showed that Ca and Sr exhibited different mineralization behaviors. The main mineralization products for Ca were CaHPO4·2H2O and Ca3(PO4)2 with the structure changed from porous to spherical as the pH values increased. The main mineralization products for Sr were SrHPO4 and Sr5(PO4)3OH with the structure changed from flake to needle as the pH values increased. The in vitro experiment demonstrated that coatings fabricated at high pH condition with the presence of Sr were favorable to MSCs adhesion, spreading, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. In addition, Sr-substituted apatite coatings could evidently inhibit osteoclast differentiation and fusion. Moreover, the in vivo study indicated that nano-needle like Sr-substituted apatite coating could suppress osteoclastic activity, improve new bone formation, and enhance bone-implant integration. This study provided a new theoretical guidance for implant coating design and the fabricated Sr-substituted coating might have potential applications for osteoporotic patients. Ca2+ and Sr2+ showed different mineralization behaviors in acidic environments. Apatites fabricated at high pH conditions were beneficial to MSCs growth. Sr-substituted apatite exhibited superior anti-osteoclast activity ability. Sr-substituted apatite facilitated osteogenesis, bone growth, and osseointegration.

Abstract
Aiming at the generation of a high strontium-containing degradable bone substitute, the exchange of calcium with strontium in gelatin-modified brushite was investigated. The ion substitution showed two mineral groups, the high-calcium containing minerals with a maximum measured molar Ca/Sr ratio of 80%/20% (mass ratio 63%/37%) and the high-strontium containing ones with a maximum measured molar Ca/Sr ratio of 21%/79% (mass ratio 10%/90%). In contrast to the high-strontium mineral phases, a high mass loss was observed for the calcium-based minerals during incubation in cell culture medium (alpha-MEM), but also an increase in strength owing to dissolution and re-precipitation. This resulted for the former in a decrease of cation concentration (Ca + Sr) in the medium, while the pH value decreased and the phosphate ion concentration rose significantly. The latter group of materials, the high-strontium containing ones, showed only a moderate change in mass and a decrease in strength, but the Ca + Sr concentration remained permanently above the initial calcium concentration in the medium. This might be advantageous for a future planned application by supporting bone regeneration on the cellular level.

Abstract
Magnesium and strontium are able to enhance osteogenesis and suppress osteoclastic activities simultaneously, and they were nontoxic in wide concentration ranges; these make the magnesium-strontium phosphate bioceramics suitable for treating osteoporotic bone defects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of strontium amount on the mechanical strength and cell-biological performance of magnesium-strontium phosphate [MgxSr3-x(PO4)2; 3-x = 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1] bioceramics, which were sintered at 1100 °C. The results indicated that the magnesium-strontium phosphate bioceramics except Mg2.9Sr0.1(PO4)2 and Mg2.25Sr0.75(PO4)2 bioceramics had considerable compressive strength. The variation in magnesium and strontium contents did not regularly affect the in vitro osteogenic differentiation and osteoclastic activities. The Mg2.75Sr0.25(PO4)2 bioceramic had the most desirable overall performance, as reflected by considerably high compressive strength, enhanced in vitro osteogenesis and inhibited osteoclastic activities. Therefore, the Mg2.75Sr0.25(PO4)2 bioceramic is considered a promising biomaterial for osteoporotic bone regeneration.

Abstract
Biomaterials that have capacities to simultaneously induce bone regeneration and kill bacteria are in demand because bone defects face risks of severe infection in clinical therapy. To meet the demand, multifunctional biodegradable microspheres are fabricated, which contain vancomycin to provide antibacterial activity and strontium-doped apatite to provide osteocompatibility. Moreover, the strontium component shows activity in promoting angiogenesis, which further favors osteogenesis. For producing the microspheres, vancomycin is loaded into mesoporous silica and embedded in polylactide-based microspheres via the double emulsion technique and the strontium-doped apatite is deposited onto the microspheres via biomineralization in strontium-containing simulated body fluid. Sustained release behaviors of both vancomycin and Sr2+ ions are achieved. The microspheres exhibit strong antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus, while demonstrating excellent cell/tissue compatibility. Studies of differentiation confirm that the introduction of strontium element strengthens the angiogenic and osteogenic expressions of mesenchymal stromal cells. Subcutaneous injection of the microspheres into rabbit's back confirms their effectiveness in inducing neovascularization and ectopic osteogenesis. Finally, an infected rabbit femoral condyle defect model is created with S. aureus infection and the multifunctional microspheres are injected, which display significant antibacterial activity in vivo and achieve efficient new bone formation in comparison with biomineralized microspheres without vancomycin loading. The vancomycin- and strontium-loaded microspheres, being biomineralized, injectable, and biodegradable, are attractive because of their flexibility in integrating multiple functions into one design, whose potentials in treating infected bone defects are highly expected.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a major public health problem affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. The use of different animal models, for the study of its pathophysiology and treatments, is important being actually the ovariectomized rat the most widely used; although this model has several problems due its small size, lack of true closure of epiphyseal plate and bone differences with humans. This review is aimed at summarizing the most common methods published for osteoporosis induction in rabbits as model for human disease with their advantages and disadvantages. The paper shows the advantages of the use of this specie compared with the rat. All the techniques seemed to achieve the osteoporotic condition, but the one which obtained the most consistent bone mineral reduction in less time was the combination of surgery and corticoid treatment. The conclusion of the review was that rabbits are promising as a model of osteoporosis research because of their size, haversian remodelling and closure of epiphyseal plate, which solve some of the problems of the rat model. There are different techniques in the literature used to achieve the osteoporotic condition with diverse results, but there is a lack of consensus as to the best one.

Abstract
The decreased bone density and increased marrow adiposity that occur with aging may influence the outcome of dental implants. Strontium (Sr), an anabolic agent for the treatment of osteoporosis, has an inhibitory effect on adipogenesis but favors osteogenesis of bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, little is known about the effects and mechanisms of local Sr release on adipogenesis during bone formation in aged bone. In this study, a potential dental implant material, Sr-doped titanium, was developed via a sandblasted, large-grit, and acid-etched (SLA) method combined with a hydrothermal process. The effects of Sr-SLA on initial adhesion, proliferation, intracellular redox state, and adipogenic differentiation of senescent BMSCs were investigated. The in vitro results showed that Sr-SLA promoted spreading of senescent BMSCs via upregulation of the gene and protein expression of integrin β1. In addition, it was revealed that Sr-SLA could reduce intracellular oxidative stress by decreasing the levels of reactive oxygen species and oxygen radicals and increasing the content of glutathione peroxidase. More important, Sr-SLA suppressed lipid droplet production and adipokines expression via downregulation of transcription peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1, thus inhibiting adipogenesis. Finally, the Sr-SLA implants were implanted in tibiae of aged (18-mo-old) Sprague-Dawley rats for 2 and 8 wk. Histomorphometric analysis demonstrated that Sr-SLA implants significantly enhanced osseointegration, and the inhibition effect on marrow adipose tissue formation was moderate. All these results suggest that due to the multiple functions produced by Sr, antiadipogenesis capability and rapid osseointegration were enhanced by the Sr-SLA coatings, which have potential application in dental implantation in the aged population.

Application of a direct pulp capping cement containing S-PRG filler. Clin Oral Investig 2018; 23:1723-1731. [PMID: 30159805 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-018-2596-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2018] [Accepted: 08/20/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate new pulp capping cements containing surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler and to investigate ion release kinetics and pH shift of eluates from the cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Molars of Wistar rats were directly pulp capped using three kinds of cement containing S-PRG filler and mineral tri-oxide aggregate (MTA) was used as a control. After 1, 2, or 4 weeks, histological evaluation was performed and differences of tertiary dentin formation were analyzed. Release of Sr2+, BO33-, SiO32-, Na+, and Al3+ ions was determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry, and F- ion release was measured using a fluoride ion selective electrode. The pH of the eluate from each cement after mixing was measured with a pH electrode. RESULTS One of S-PRG cements promoted tertiary dentin formation to the same extent as the control (p > 0.05) and it showed a tendency of less inflammatory response. This cement released more BO33- and SiO32-, but less Sr2+, Na+, and F- than other S-PRG specimens. Each cement recovered nearly neutral compared with glass ionomer cement. CONCLUSIONS S-PRG cement induced tertiary dentin formation based on multiple ion releases, suggesting that it is suitable as a pulp capping material. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This new material can be an alternative pulp capping agent to MTA.

Abstract
Commercially pure Titanium (Cp-Ti) was electrophoretically modified using double layer coatings consisting of TiO2-SrHAP as the first layer (TH) followed by vancomycin incorporated Chitosan/Gelatin as the second layer (THV). The nano crystalline phase of coated Strontium incorporated hydroxyapatite (Sr-HAP) confirmed through X-ray diffraction studies (XRD). The polyelectrolyte complex formation between chitosan and gelatin, the stability of the drug, the bonding between chitosan and Sr-HAP were confirmed through infra-red spectroscopic studies (IR). The average roughness (Ra) value calculated from atomic force microscopy (AFM) corroborates with the water contact angle data, which clearly confirms the tuning property of the surface in relation to the surface energy and roughness of the coated samples. The total amount of vancomycin encapsulated was calculated to be 11.5 μg. Antibacterial activity was found against both Staphylococcus aureus strains methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) for a drug concentration of 2.74 μg released after 12 h of immersion. The in-vitro cell culture studies showed enhanced cellular activity for THV samples. Thus, THV samples have a dual action at the surface, by resisting the bacterial adhesion and enhancing cellular interaction at the bio-interface, making it a promising candidate to treat osteomyelitis infection.

Abstract
Previous studies performed using polysaccharide-based matrices supplemented with hydroxyapatite (HA) particles showed their ability to form in subcutaneous and intramuscular sites a mineralized and osteoid tissue. Our objectives are to optimize the HA content in the matrix and to test the combination of HA with strontium (Sr-HA) to increase the matrix bioactivity. First, non-doped Sr-HA powders were combined to the matrix at three different ratios and were implanted subcutaneously for 2 and 4 weeks. Interestingly, matrices showed radiolucent properties before implantation. Quantitative analysis of micro-CT data evidenced a significant increase of mineralized tissue formed ectopically with time of implantation and allowed us to select the best ratio of HA to polysaccharides of 30% (w/w). Then, two Sr-substitution of 8% and 50% were incorporated in the HA powders (8Sr-HA and 50Sr-HA). Both Sr-HA were chemically characterized and dispersed in matrices. In vitro studies performed with human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) demonstrated the absence of cytotoxicity of the Sr-doped matrices whatever the amount of incorporated Sr. They also supported osteoblastic differentiation and activated the expression of one late osteoblastic marker involved in the mineralization process i.e. osteopontin. In vivo, subcutaneous implantation of these Sr-doped matrices induced osteoid tissue and blood vessels formation.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2017; 159:684-695. [PMID: 28869829 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2017.06.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2017] [Revised: 06/19/2017] [Accepted: 06/24/2017] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Preserving and improving osteogenic activity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) upon implants remains one of the key limitations in bone regeneration. With calcium phosphate cement (CPC) as model, we have developed a series of strontium (Sr)-doped CPC (SCPC) to address this issue. The effects of fixed Sr on the bioactivity of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) as well as the underlying mechanism were investigated. The results suggested that the rhBMP-2-induced osteogenic activity was significantly promoted upon SCPCs, especially with a low amount of fixed Sr (SrCO3 content <10wt%). Further studies demonstrated that the Sr-induced enhancement of bioactivity of rhBMP-2 was related to an elevated recognition of bone morphogenetic protein receptor-IA (BMPR-IA) to rhBMP-2 and an increased expression of BMPR-IA in C2C12 model cells. As a result, the activations of BMP-induced signaling pathways were different in C2C12 cells incubated upon CPC/rhBMP-2 and SCPCs/rhBMP-2. These findings explicitly decipher the mechanism of SCPCs promoting osteogenic bioactivity of rhBMP-2 and signify the promising application of the SCPCs/rhBMP-2 matrix in bone regeneration implants.
