Mesoporous Bioactive Glass-Incorporated Injectable Strontium-Containing Calcium Phosphate Cement Enhanced Osteoconductivity in a Critical-Sized Metaphyseal Defect in Osteoporotic Rats. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1203. [PMID: 37892933 PMCID: PMC10604136 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10101203] [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: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, the in vitro and in vivo bone formation behavior of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) particles incorporated in a pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100G10) was studied in a metaphyseal fracture-defect model in ovariectomized rats and compared to a plain pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100) and control (empty defect) group, respectively. In vitro testing showed good cytocompatibility on human preosteoblasts and ongoing dissolution of the MBG component. Neither the released strontium nor the BMG particles from the pS100G10 had a negative influence on cell viability. Forty-five female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three different treatment groups: (1) pS100 (n = 15), (2) pS100G10 (n = 15), and (3) empty defect (n = 15). Twelve weeks after bilateral ovariectomy and multi-deficient diet, a 4 mm wedge-shaped fracture-defect was created at the metaphyseal area of the left femur in all animals. The originated fracture-defect was substituted with pS100 or pS100G10 or left empty. After six weeks, histomorphometrical analysis revealed a statistically significant higher bone volume/tissue volume ratio in the pS100G10 group compared to the pS100 (p = 0.03) and empty defect groups (p = 0.0001), indicating enhanced osteoconductivity with the incorporation of MBG. Immunohistochemistry revealed a significant decrease in the RANKL/OPG ratio for pS100 (p = 0.004) and pS100G10 (p = 0.003) compared to the empty defect group. pS100G10 showed a statistically higher expression of BMP-2. In addition, a statistically significant higher gene expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin, collagen1a1, collagen10a1 with a simultaneous decrease in RANKL, and carbonic anhydrase was seen in the pS100 and pS100G10 groups compared to the empty defect group. Mass spectrometric imaging by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) showed the release of Sr2+ ions from both pS100 and pS100G10, with a gradient into the interface region. ToF-SIMS imaging also revealed that resorption of the MBG particles allowed for new bone formation in cement pores. In summary, the current work shows better bone formation of the injectable pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement with incorporated mesoporous bioactive glass compared to the bioactive-free bone cement and empty defects and can be considered for clinical application for osteopenic fracture defects in the future.

Abstract
The purpose of this Tutorial is to highlight the suitability of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and OrbiTrap™ SIMS (Orbi-SIMS) in bone research by introducing fundamentals and best practices of bone analysis with these mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) techniques. The Tutorial includes sample preparation, determination of best-suited measurement settings, data acquisition, and data evaluation, as well as a brief overview of SIMS applications in bone research in the current literature. SIMS is a powerful analytical technique that allows simultaneous analysis and visualization of mineralized and nonmineralized bone tissue, bone marrow as well as implanted biomaterials, and interfaces between bone and implants. Compared to histological staining, which is the standard analytical procedure in bone research, SIMS provides chemical imaging of nonstained bone sections that offers insights beyond what is conventionally obtained. The Tutorial highlights the versatility of ToF- and Orbi-SIMS in addressing important questions in bone research. By illustrating the value of these MSI techniques, it demonstrates how they can contribute to advance progress in bone research.

Abstract
Integration of multiomics at the single-cell level allows the unambiguous dissecting of phenotypic heterogeneity at different states such as health, disease, and biomedical response. Imaging mass spectrometry holds the promise of being able to measure multiple types of biomolecules in parallel in the same cell. We have explored the possibility of using water gas cluster ion beam secondary ion mass spectrometry [(H2O)n-GCIB-SIMS] as an analytical tool for multiomics assay. (H2O)n-GCIB has been hailed as an ideal ionization source for biological sampling owing to the enhanced chemical sensitivity and reduced matrix effect. Taking advantage of 1 μm spatial resolution by using a high-energy beam system, we have clearly shown the enhancement of multiple intact biomolecules up to a few hundredfold in single cells. Coupled with the cryogenic sample preparation/measurement, the lipids and metabolites were imaged simultaneously within the cellular region, uncovering the pristine chemistry for integrated omics in the same sample. We have demonstrated that double-charged myelin protein fragments and single-charged multiple lipids and metabolites can be localized in the same cells/tissue with a single acquisition. Our exploration has also been extended to the capability of (H2O)n-GCIB in the generation of multiple charged peptides on protein standards. Frozen hydration combined with (H2O)n-GCIB provides the possibility of universal enhancement for the ionization of multiple bio-molecules, including peptides/proteins which has allowed "omics" to become feasible in the same sample using SIMS.

Abstract
Common traumas to the skeletal system are bone fractures and injury-related articular cartilage damage. The healing process can be impaired resulting in non-unions in 5-10% of the bone fractures and in post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in up to 75% of the cases of cartilage damage. Despite the amount of research performed in the areas of fracture healing and cartilage repair as well as non-unions and PTOA, still, the outcome of a bone fracture or articular cartilage damage cannot be predicted. Here, we discuss known risk factors and key molecules involved in the repair process, together with the main challenges associated with the prediction of outcome of these injuries. Furthermore, we review and discuss the opportunities for mass spectrometry (MS) - an analytical tool capable of detecting a wide variety of molecules in tissues - to contribute to extending molecular understanding of impaired healing and the discovery of predictive biomarkers. Therefore, the current knowledge and challenges concerning MS imaging of bone and cartilage tissue as well as in vivo MS are discussed. Finally, we explore the possibilities of in situ, real-time MS for the prediction of outcome during surgery of bone fractures and injury-related articular cartilage damage.

Abstract
The development and characterization of biomaterials for bone replacement in case of large defects in preconditioned bone (e.g., osteoporosis) require close cooperation of various disciplines. Of particular interest are effects observed in vitro at the cellular level and their in vivo representation in animal experiments. In the present case, the material-based alteration of the ratio of osteoblasts to osteoclasts in vitro in the context of their co-cultivation was examined and showed equivalence to the material-based stimulation of bone regeneration in a bone defect of osteoporotic rats. Gelatin-modified calcium/strontium phosphates with a Ca:Sr ratio in their precipitation solutions of 5:5 and 3:7 caused a pro-osteogenic reaction on both levels in vitro and in vivo. Stimulation of osteoblasts and inhibition of osteoclast activity were proven during culture on materials with higher strontium content. The same material caused a decrease in osteoclast activity in vitro. In vivo, a positive effect of the material with increased strontium content was observed by immunohistochemistry, e.g., by significantly increased bone volume to tissue volume ratio, increased bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) expression, and significantly reduced receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio. In addition, material degradation and bone regeneration were examined after 6 weeks using stage scans with ToF-SIMS and µ-CT imaging. The remaining material in the defects and strontium signals, which originate from areas exceeding the defect area, indicate the incorporation of strontium ions into the surrounding mineralized tissue. Thus, the material inherent properties (release of biologically active ions, solubility and degradability, mechanical strength) directly influenced the cellular reaction in vitro and also bone regeneration in vivo. Based on this, in the future, materials might be synthesized and specifically adapted to patient-specific needs and their bone status.

Abstract
The present work focuses on the application of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) in osteoporotic bone research. In order to demonstrate the benefit, the authors present concrete application examples of ToF-SIMS in three different areas of bone research. ToF-SIMS as a mass spectrometric imaging technique allows simultaneous visualization of mineralized and nonmineralized bone tissue as well as implanted biomaterials and bone implant interphases. In the first example, the authors show that it is possible to study the incorporation and distribution of different components released from bone filler materials into bone with a single mass spectrometric measurement. This not only enables imaging of nonstained bone cross sections but also provides further insights beyond histologically obtained information. Furthermore, they successfully identified several mass fragments as markers for newly formed cartilage tissue and growth joint in bone. Different modes of ToF-SIMS as well as different SIMS instruments (IONTOF's TOF.SIMS 5 and M6 Hybrid SIMS, Ionoptika's J105) were used to identify these mass signals and highlight the high versatility of this method. In the third part, bone structure of cortical rat bone was investigated from bone sections embedded in technovit (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) and compared to cryosections. In cortical bone, they were able to image different morphological features, e.g., concentric arrangement of collagen fibers in so-called osteons as well as Haversian canals and osteocytes. In summary, the study provides examples of application and shows the strength of ToF-SIMS as a promising analytical method in the field of osteoporotic bone research.

Abstract
We report an effective strategy for direct analysis and two-dimensional (2D) matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR-MALDESI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of mouse bones that underwent no chemical treatments prior to analysis. To unravel the chemistry in bones under near-physiological conditions, we cut a flash-frozen bone in half longitudinally, placed it in a mold facing flat side down, and poured Plaster of Paris on top of and around the bone. After Plaster of Paris had set, the bone with embedding material was removed from the mold, and placed on the IR-MALDESI imaging stage. Plaster of Paris acted as a fixture to keep every spot on the sample surface the same distance away from the laser focus. To demonstrate the feasibility of IR-MALDESI MSI for analyses of unmodified bones, we imaged bones derived from healthy and stroke-affected mice and generated ion heatmaps showing the spatial distribution of putatively annotated features.

Abstract
Next-generation bone implants will be functionalized with drugs for stimulating bone growth. Modelling of drug release by such functionalized biomaterials and drug dispersion into bone can be used as predicting tool for biomaterials testing in future. Therefore, the determination of experimental parameters to describe and simulate drug release in bone is essential. Here, we focus on Sr2+ transport and quantification in cortical rat bone. Sr2+ dose-dependently stimulates bone-building osteoblasts and inhibits bone-resorbing osteoclasts. It should be preferentially applied in the case of bone fracture in the context of osteoporotic bone status. Transport properties of cortical rat bone were investigated by dipping experiments of bone sections in aqueous Sr2+ solution followed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) depth profiling. Data evaluation was carried out by fitting a suitable mathematical diffusion equation to the experimental data. An average diffusion coefficient of D = (1.68 ± 0.57) · 10-13 cm2 s-1 for healthy cortical bone was obtained. This value differed only slightly from the value of D = (4.30 ± 1.43) · 10-13 cm2 s-1 for osteoporotic cortical bone. Transmission electron microscopy investigations revealed a comparable nano- and ultrastructure for both types of bone status. Additionally, Sr2+-enriched mineralized collagen standards were prepared for ToF-SIMS quantification of Sr2+ content. The obtained calibration curve was used for Sr2+ quantification in cortical and trabecular bone in real bone sections. The results allow important insights regarding the Sr2+ transport properties in healthy and osteoporotic bone and can ultimately be used to perform a simulation of drug release and mobility in bone.

Abstract
Synthetic substitutes of bone grafts, such as calcium phosphate-based ceramics, have shown some good clinical successes in the regeneration of large bone defects and are currently extensively used. In the past decade, the field of biomineralization has delivered important new fundamental knowledge and techniques to better understand this fascinating phenomenon. This knowledge is also applied in the field of biomaterials, with the aim of bringing the composition and structure, and hence the performance, of synthetic bone graft substitutes even closer to those of the extracellular matrix of bone. The purpose of this progress report is to critically review advances in mimicking the extracellular matrix of bone as a strategy for development of new materials for bone regeneration. Lab-made biomimicking or bioinspired materials are discussed against the background of the natural extracellular matrix, starting from basic organic and inorganic components, and progressing into the building block of bone, the mineralized collagen fibril, and finally larger, 2D and 3D constructs. Moreover, bioactivity studies on state-of-the-art biomimicking materials are discussed. By addressing these different topics, an overview is given of how far the field has advanced toward a true bone-mimicking material, and some suggestions are offered for bridging current knowledge and technical gaps.

Abstract
A method is described for high-resolution label-free molecular imaging of human bone tissue. To preserve the lipid content and the heterogeneous structure of osseous tissue, 4 μm thick human bone sections were prepared via cryoembedding and tape-assisted cryosectioning, circumventing the application of organic solvents and a decalcification step. A protocol for comparative mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) on the same section was established for initial analysis with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) at a lateral resolution of 10 μm to <500 nm, followed by atmospheric pressure scanning microprobe matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (AP-SMALDI) Orbitrap MSI at a lateral resolution of 10 μm. This procedure ultimately enabled MSI of lipids, providing the lateral localization of major lipid classes such as glycero-, glycerophospho-, and sphingolipids. Additionally, the applicability of the recently emerged Orbitrap-TOF-SIMS hybrid system was exemplarily examined and compared to the before-mentioned MSI methods.

Strontium release from Sr 2+-loaded bone cements and dispersion in healthy and osteoporotic rat bone. J Control Release 2017; 262:159-169. [PMID: 28757358 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2017.07.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2017] [Revised: 07/25/2017] [Accepted: 07/25/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Drug functionalization of biomaterials is a modern and popular approach in biomaterials research. Amongst others this concept is used for the functionalization of bone implants to locally stimulate the bone healing process. For example strontium ions (Sr2+) are administered in osteoporosis therapy to stimulate bone growth and have recently been integrated into bone cements. Based on results of different analytical experiments we developed a two-phase model for the transport of therapeutically active Sr2+-ions in bone in combination with Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetics for the Sr2+ release from bone cement. Data of cement dissolution experiments into water in combination with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis account for dissolution kinetics following Noyes-Whitney rule. For dissolution in α-MEM cell culture media the process is kinetically hindered and can be described by Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetics. Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) was used to determine the Sr2+ diffusion coefficient in healthy and osteoporotic trabecular rat bone. Therefore, bone sections were dipped in aqueous Sr2+-solution by one side and the Sr2+-profile was measured by classical SIMS depth profiling. The Sr2+ mobility can be described by a simple diffusion model and we obtained diffusion coefficients of (2.28±2.97)⋅10-12cm2/s for healthy and of (1.55±0.93)⋅10-10cm2/s for osteoporotic bone. This finding can be explained by a different bone nanostructure, which was observed by focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Finally, the time and spatially resolved drug transport was calculated by finite element method for the femur of healthy and osteoporotic rats. The obtained results were compared to mass images that were obtained from sections of in vivo experiments by ToF-SIMS. The simulated data fits quite well to experimental results. The successfully applied model for the description of drug dispersion can help to reduce the number of animal experiments in the future.

Abstract
Herein, we aim to elucidate osteogenic effects of two silica-based xerogels with different degrees of bioactivity on human bone-derived mesenchymal stromal cells by means of scanning electron microscopy, quantitative PCR enhanced osteogenic effects and the formation of an extracellular matrix which could be ascribed to the sample with lower bioactivity. Given the high levels of bioactivity, the cells revealed remarkable sensitivity to extremely low calcium levels of the media. Therefore, additional experiments were performed to elucidate cell behavior under calcium deficient conditions. The results refer to capacity of the bone-derived stromal cells to overcome calcium deficiency even though proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation capabilities were diminished. One reason for the differences of the cellular response (on tissue culture plates versus xerogels) to calcium deficiency seems to be the positive effect of silica. The silica could be detected intracellularly as shown by time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry after cultivation of primary cells for 21 days on the surfaces of the xerogels. Thus, the present findings refer to different osteogenic differentiation potentials of the xerogels according to the different degrees of bioactivity, and to the role of silica as a stimulator of osteogenesis. Finally, the observed pattern of connexin-based hemichannel gating supports the assumption that connexin 43 is a key factor for calcium-mediated osteogenesis in bone-derived mesenchymal stromal cells.

Postembedding Decalcification of Mineralized Tissue Sections Preserves the Integrity of Implanted Biomaterials and Minimizes Number of Experimental Animals. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:2023853. [PMID: 28424781 PMCID: PMC5382295 DOI: 10.1155/2017/2023853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2016] [Revised: 02/18/2017] [Accepted: 02/28/2017] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Bone histology of decalcified or undecalcified samples depends on the investigation. However, in research each method provides different information to answer the scientific question. Decalcification is the first step after sample fixation and governs what analysis is later feasible on the sections. Besides, decalcification is favored for immunostaining and in situ hybridization. Otherwise, sample decalcification can be damaging to bone biomaterials implants that contains calcium or strontium. On the other hand, after decalcification mineralization cannot be assessed using histology or imaging mass spectrometry. The current study provides a solution to the hardship caused by material presence within the bone tissue. The protocol presents a possibility of gaining sequential and alternating decalcified and undecalcified sections from the same bone sample. In this manner, investigations using histology, protein signaling, in situ hybridization, and mass spectrometry on the same sample can better answer the intended research question. Indeed, decalcification of sections and grindings resulted in well-preserved sample and biomaterials integrity. Immunostaining was comparable to that of classically decalcified samples. The study offers a novel approach that incites correlative analysis on the same sample and reduces the number of processed samples whether clinical biopsies or experimental animals.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a technique used to visualize the spatial distribution of biomolecules such as peptides, proteins, lipids or other organic compounds by their molecular masses. Among the different MSI strategies, MALDI-MSI provides a sensitive and label-free approach for imaging of a wide variety of protein or peptide biomarkers from the surface of tissue sections, being currently used in an increasing number of biomedical applications such as biomarker discovery and tissue classification. In the field of rheumatology, MALDI-MSI has been applied to date for the analysis of joint tissues such as synovial membrane or cartilage. This review summarizes the studies and key achievements obtained using MALDI-MSI to increase understanding on rheumatic pathologies and to describe potential diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers of these diseases. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: MALDI Imaging, edited by Dr. Corinna Henkel and Prof. Peter Hoffmann.
