    Mesoporous bioactive glass/ɛ-polycaprolactone scaffolds promote bone regeneration in osteoporotic sheep
    (Acta Biomaterialia, 2019) Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Casarrubios Molina, Laura; Saiz-Pardo, M.; Ortega, L.; De Pablo, D.; Díaz-Güemes, I.; Fernández-Tomé, E.; Enciso, S; Sanchez-Margallo, F. M.; Portolés Pérez, María Teresa; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre
    Macroporous scaffolds made of a SiO2-CaO-P2O5 mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) and ɛpolycaprolactone (PCL) have been prepared by robocasting. These scaffolds showed an excellent in vitro biocompatibility in contact with osteoblast like cells (Saos 2) and osteoclasts derived from RAW 264.7 macrophages. In vivo studies were carried out by implantation into cavitary defects drilled in osteoporotic sheep. The scaffolds evidenced excellent bone regeneration properties, promoting new bone formation at both the peripheral and the inner parts of the scaffolds, thick trabeculae, high vascularization and high presence of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In order to evaluate the effects of the local release of an antiosteoporotic drug, 1% (%wt) of zoledronic acid was incorporated to the scaffolds. The scaffolds loaded with zoledronic acid induced apoptosis in Saos 2 cells, impeded osteoclast differentiation in a time dependent manner and inhibited bone healing, promoting an intense inflammatory response in osteoporotic sheep.

    Silicon substituted hydroxyapatite/VEGF scaffolds stimulate bone regeneration in osteoporotic sheep.
    (Acta Biomaterialia, 2019) Casarrubios Molina, Laura; Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Sánchez Salcedo, Sandra; Feito Castellano, María José; Serrano, M.C.; Saiz-Pardo, M.; Ortega Menor, Lorena; De Pablo, D.; Díaz-Güemes, I.; Fernández-Tomé, E.; Enciso, S; Portolés Pérez, María Teresa; Sanchez-Margallo, F.M; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Sanchez-Margallo, F. M.
    Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHA) macroporous scaffolds have been prepared by robocasting. In order to optimize their bone regeneration properties, we have manufactured these scaffolds presenting different microstructures: nanocrystalline and crystalline. Moreover, their surfaces have been decorated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to evaluate the potential coupling between vascularization and bone regeneration. In vitro cell culture tests evidence that nanocrystalline SiHA hinders pre-osteblast proliferation, whereas the presence of VEGF enhances the biological functions of both endothelial cells and pre-osteoblasts. The bone regeneration capability has been evaluated using an osteoporotic sheep model. In vivo observations strongly correlate with in vitro cell culture tests. Those scaffolds made of nanocrystalline SiHA were colonized by fibrous tissue, promoted inflammatory response and forested osteoclast recruitment. These observations discard nanocystalline SiHA as a suitable material for bone regeneration purposes. On the contrary, those scaffolds made of crystalline SiHA and decorated with VEGF exhibited bone regeneration properties, with high ossification degree, thicker trabeculae and higher presence of osteoblasts and blood vessels. Considering these results, macroporous scaffolds made of SiHA and decorated with VEGF are suitable bone grafts for regeneration purposes, even in adverse pathological scenarios such as osteoporosis.

    Incorporation and effects of mesoporous SiO2-CaO nanospheres loaded with ipriflavone on osteoblast/osteoclast cocultures
    (European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2018) Casarrubios Molina, Laura; Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Feito Castellano, María José; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Portolés Pérez, María Teresa
    Mesoporous nanospheres in the system SiO2-CaO (NanoMBGs) with a hollow core surrounded by a radial arrangement of mesopores were characterized, labeled with FITC (FITC-NanoMBGs) and loaded with ipriflavone (NanoMBG-IPs) in order to evaluate their incorporation and their effects on both osteoblasts and osteoclasts simultaneously and maintaining the communication with each other in coculture. The influence of these nanospheres on macrophage polarization towards pro-inflammatory M1 or reparative M2 phenotypes was also evaluated in basal and stimulated conditions through the expression of CD80 (as M1 marker) and CD206 (as M2 marker) by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. NanoMBGs did not induce the macrophage polarization towards the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype, favoring the M2 reparative phenotype and increasing the macrophage response capability against stimuli as LPS and IL-4. NanoMBG-IPs induced a significant decrease of osteoclast proliferat ion and resorption activity after 7 days in coculture with osteoblasts, without affecting osteoblast proliferation and viability. Drug release test demonstrated that only a fraction of the payload is released by diffusion, whereas the rest of the drug remains within the hollow core after 7 days, thus ensuring the local long-term pharmacological treatment beyond the initial fast IP release. All these data ensure an appropriate immune response to these nanospheres and the potential application of NanoMBG-IPs as local drug delivery system in osteoporotic patients.

    Effects of a mesoporous bioactive glass on osteoblasts, osteoclasts and macrophages
    (Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2018) Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Casarrubios Molina, Laura; Morales, I.; Feito Castellano, María José; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Portolés Pérez, María Teresa
    A mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) of molar composition 75SiO2-20CaO-5P2O5 (MBG-75S) has been synthetized as a potential bioceramic for bone regeneration purposes. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nitrogen adsorption studies and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that MBG-75S possess a highly ordered mesoporous structure with high surface area and porosity, which would explain the high ionic exchange rate (mainly calcium and silicon soluble species) with the surrounded media. MBG-75S showed high biocompatibility in contact with Saos-2 osteoblast-like cells. Concentrations up to 1 mg/ml did not lead to significant alterations on either morphology or cell cycle. Regarding the effects on osteoclasts, MBG-75S allowed the differentiation of RAW264.7 macrophages into osteoclast-like cells but exhibiting a decreased resorptive activity. These results point out that MBG-75S does not inhibit osteoclastogenesis but reduces the osteoclast bone-resorbing capability. Finally, in vitro studies focused on the innate immune response, evidenced that MBG-75S allows the proliferation of macrophages without inducing their polarization towards the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype. This in vitro behavior is indicative that MBG-75S would just induce the required innate immune response without further inflammatory complications under in vivo conditions. The overall behavior respect to osteoblasts, osteoclasts and macrophages, makes this MBG a very interesting candidate for bone grafting applications in osteoporotic patients.
