Effect of silica-based mesoporous nanomaterials on human blood cells. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 387:110784. [PMID: 37939894 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
Different mesoporous nanomaterials (MSNs) are constantly being developed for a range of therapeutic purposes, but they invariably interact with blood components and may cause hazardous side effects. Therefore, when designing and developing nanoparticles for biomedical applications, hemocompatibility should be one of the primary goals to assess their toxicity at the cellular level of all blood components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of human blood cells (erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes) after exposure to silica-based mesoporous nanomaterials that had been manufactured using the sol-gel method, with Ca and Ce as doping elements. The viability of lymphocytes and monocytes was unaffected by the presence of MSNs at any concentration. However, it was found that all nanomaterials, at all concentrations, reduced the viability of granulocytes. P-selectin expression of all MSNs at all concentrations was statistically significantly higher in platelet incubation on the first day of storage (day 1) compared to the control. When incubated with MSNs, preserved platelets displayed higher levels of iROS at all MSNs types and concentrations examined. Ce-containing MSNs presented a slightly better hemocompatibility, although it was also dose dependent. Further research is required to determine how the unique characteristics of MSNs may affect various blood components in order to design safe and effective MSNs for various biomedical applications.

Effect of Artemisinin-Loaded Mesoporous Cerium-Doped Calcium Silicate Nanopowder on Cell Proliferation of Human Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11092189. [PMID: 34578505 PMCID: PMC8465982 DOI: 10.3390/nano11092189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
Ion doping has rendered mesoporous structures important materials in the field of tissue engineering, as apart from drug carriers, they can additionally serve as regenerative materials. The purpose of the present study was the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of the effect of artemisinin (ART)-loaded cerium-doped mesoporous calcium silicate nanopowders (NPs) on the hemocompatibility and cell proliferation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLFs). Mesoporous NPs were synthesized in a basic environment via a surfactant assisted cooperative self-assembly process and were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD) and N2 Porosimetry. The loading capacity of NPs was evaluated using Ultrahigh Performance Liquid Chromatography/High resolution Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC/HRMS). Their biocompatibility was evaluated with the MTT assay, and the analysis of reactive oxygen species was performed using the cell-permeable ROS-sensitive probe 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA). The synthesized NPs presented a mesoporous structure with a surface area ranging from 1312 m2/g for undoped silica to 495 m2/g for the Ce-doped NPs, excellent bioactivity after a 1-day immersion in c-SBF, hemocompatibility and a high loading capacity (around 80%). They presented ROS scavenging properties, and both the unloaded and ART-loaded NPs significantly promoted cell proliferation even at high concentrations of NPs (125 μg/mL). The ART-loaded Ce-doped NPs with the highest amount of cerium slightly restricted cell proliferation after 7 days of culture, but the difference was not significant compared with the control untreated cells.

Replacement Process of Carbonate Apatite by Alveolar Bone in a Rat Extraction Socket. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14164457. [PMID: 34442979 PMCID: PMC8402212 DOI: 10.3390/ma14164457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate a bone graft substitute containing carbonate apatite (CO3Ap) to analyze bone replacement and the state of bone formation in vitro and in vivo compared with autogenous bone (AB) or control. An osteoclast precursor cell line was cultured with AB or CO3Ap, and morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy and a tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity assay were performed. The right maxillary first and second molars of Wistar rats were extracted and compensated by AB or CO3Ap granules. Following implantation, the bone formation state was evaluated after 3, 5, 7, 14, and 28 days of surgery by micro-computed tomography and immunohistostaining. The osteoclast-like cell morphology was typical with many cell protrusions in the AB and CO3Ap groups. Additionally, the number of osteoclast-like cells formed in the culture increased in each group; however, there was no significant difference between the AB and CO3Ap groups. Five days after tooth extraction, osteoclasts were observed near CO3Ap. The bone thickness in the CO3Ap group was significantly increased than that in the control group and the bone formation in the CO3Ap group increased by the same level as that in the AB group. CO3Ap is gradually absorbed by osteoclasts in the extraction socket and is easily replaced by alveolar bone. The process of bone replacement by osteoclasts is similar to that of autologous bone. By observing the process of bone replacement in more detail, it may be possible to gain a better understanding of the bone formation and control the amount of bone after surgery.

Abstract
Sufficient blood supply remains the key issue to be addressed for an optimal performance of implanted bone tissue engineering scaffolds. Host vessel invasion is limited to a depth of only several hundred micrometers from the scaffold/host interface. In this study, an osteopontin sequenced polypeptide SVVYGLR was grafted into/onto mesoporous calcium silicate (MCS) and then 3D-printed into scaffolds. The peptide motifs can be accessed on the scaffold surfaces and released as well. In vitro studies of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) indicated enhanced cell adhesion and vascular-like structure formation on MCS-SVVYGLR scaffolds. At the same time, human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) showed enhanced osteogenic differentiation capability and higher expression levels of angiogenic genes and proteins as well. The results of in vivo radial defect repair tests of rabbits showed that more tubular vessels formed throughout the whole MCS-SVVYGLR scaffolds, and therefore, a more homogeneous new bone formation pattern was obtained on MCS-SVVYGLR scaffolds instead of a peripheral bone growth pattern on pure MCS scaffolds by Micro-CT and tissue staining techniques over 3 months. Relative gene and protein expressions in PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 pathways suggested that the SVVYGLR motif on the MCS scaffold surface could initiate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and up-regulate ERK1/2 expression, which positively stimulated VEGF expression, to improve angiogenesis.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a promising alternative therapy for patients who suffer bone fractures or defects caused by trauma, congenital diseases or tumours. However, the reconstruction of bone defects combined with osteoporosis remains a great challenge for clinicians and researchers. Based on our previous study, Ca–Si-based bioceramics (MSCs) showed enhanced bone formation capabilities under normal conditions, and strontium was demonstrated to be therapeutic in promoting bone quality in osteoporosis patients. Therefore, in the present study, we attempted to enlarge the application range of MSCs with Sr incorporation in an osteoporotic bone regeneration model to evaluate whether Sr could assist in regeneration outcomes. In vitro readout suggested that Sr-incorporated MSC scaffolds could enhance the expression level of osteogenic and angiogenic markers of osteoporotic bone mesenchymal stem cells (OVX BMSCs). Animal experiments showed a larger new bone area; in particular, there was a tendency for blood vessel formation to be enhanced in the Sr-MSC scaffold group, showing its positive osteogenic capacity in bone regeneration. This study systematically illustrated the effective delivery of a low-cost therapeutic Sr agent in an osteoporotic model and provided new insight into the treatment of bone defects in osteoporosis patients.

Abstract
Using retinoic acid to inducer, we successfully established a rat model of secondary osteoporosis and verified the preventive effect of Lactobacillus fermentum ZS40 (ZS40) on secondary osteoporosis. Serum biochemical indicators showed that ZS40 can effectively slow down bone resorption caused by retinoic acid, increase blood content of calcium, phosphorus, bone alkaline phosphatase, bone gla protein, and insulin-like growth factor 1, and decrease blood content of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) 5b. qRT-PCR results showed that ZS40 could upregulate mRNA expressions of β-catenin, Wnt10b, Lrp5, Lrp6, Runx2, ALP, RANKL, and OPG, and downregulate mRNA expression of DKK1, RANK, TRACP, and CTSK in the rats' spinal cord. Results following TRAP staining showed that ZS40 could slow down retinoic acid-induced formation of osteoclasts. Micro-CT results showed that ZS40 could reduce Tb.Sp, increase BV/TV, Tb.N, Tb.Th, and ultimately increase bone mineral density of rats in vivo. These findings indicate that ZS40 might have a potential role in preventing retinoic acid-induced secondary osteoporosis in vivo.
